POSTING THE

Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, has a
unique ordinance. 1t requires that the
portraits of habitual drunkards shall be
posted in all the saloons of the city,
together with notices to saloonkeepers
to sell them no liquor, under penalty of
losing their licenses. One Matt Dengel
the other day made a request to the
Fond du Lac Council that his own pho
tograph be included in the list on the
ground that this IA the only way he
could get sobered up and return to a
decent life.
We get some good ideas from the
West, and this is one not unworthy OF
trial. 1t would have the approval of
saloonkeepers, who as a general rule
do not like to sell to habitual drunk
ards. The trouble with law and senti-
mentality on the liquor question is thai
too much consideration and sympathy
are given to the chronic 'lush," WHIT
should be treated as an offender, not a:
a victim.

ley IDEA

The New Idea has developed discord
In Orange. The Colby organization
there rejects the candidacy of Sheriff
sommer and comes out for Chandler
w. Riker. 1t also refuses to indorse
the candidates. of the Assemblymen
of 1906 as a whole, and 1t does not in
dorse the principle of initiative and
referendum. In Hudson the New Idea
adheres to the Colby candidacy for
Governor and as yet declines to indorse
Sheriff Sommer for local strategic rea-
sons. Unity is as essential to ar indie
pendent movement in politics as it is
to the regular political organizations,
and 1t is discouraging to see brethren
in political faith thus disagree or vital
points. But perhaps when Senator
Colby gets back from Europe and
Switzerland all these differences will
disappear.

ESSEX IN THE CONVENTION.

out of the 1,157 votes to be cast in
the Republican State convention next
month Essex will have 236 or about
one-lfth. A majority of the conven-
ton will be $40, all delegates voting.
The eight counties of the southern belt
will have 275 votes. and with Mercer
county's 6S votes, which. with the vote
of Essex. would be an exact majority.
Essex and the nine counties Of South
Jersey can control the convention.
Hudson will have 16s votes and in COM
binatlon with Essex, Monmouth, Mid
dlesex arAi Passaic there will be enough
to nominate a candidate. The nominal
ton will go to a North Jersey man and
he who has the support of South Jersey
will probably be the candidate. The
outlook is for Justice Fort. .

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

After he gets over his surprise that
the little Moorish seaport Of Casablanca
contains any appreciable number of
'naturalized Americans" the point that
will concern the American at home,
native or naturalized, will be what in
demnity will the ''naturalized Ameri-
cans" who. the cable informed us the
other day, lost everything" demand
and expect the State Department at
Washington to recover for them? Be-
fore that question is answered. the first
n suggested by the news will have to
receive a most thoroughly satisfying
reply.
Are there any genuine naturalized
Americans. honestly entitled to the full
protection of the American govern
ment, living in casablanca who suf-
fered property losses through the ma
bility or culpable neglect of the Moroc-
can government to protect them? or
are these reported sufferers of the all
too common class of foreigners who
come to America merely for the pur-
pose OF securing certificates of citizen
ship. to go back home and defy the
government in the mistaken notion
that Uncle Sam would back them up?
Or, worse, are they. or any of them.
among those foreigners who, inestiga-
ton has proved. get their papers by
trick and fraud, for the same purpose?
These questions will have to be very
satisfactorily investigated and an
swered before any sympathy or diplo-
matte pressure will be wasted on them,
for It is hardly conceivable that there
are many 'naturalized Americans" in
bombarded and looted Casablanca.

HOW NEWARK WAS BUNcoED.

Railroad Commissioner Whiting, in a
published communication on the sub
Ject OF the work by the commission.
says of railroad grade crossings that In
his opinion the commission can, under
the law, require the elimination OF 4
crossing whether travel on the street Is
or is not impeded or prevented, and he
adds:
IF this view is sound, the commits
sion may proceed to secure the elimi-
nation of a given crossing upon either
or both OF the theories which have been
here advanced. In either case the law
provides no person or corporation other
than the railroad shall bear the ex-
pense. This statement should not evoke
surprise or criticism. The policy of the
State that the elimination Of grade
crossings should be effected by the rail-
roads at their own expense has been
evidenced by tho provision in railroad
charters and the general railroad law
Tor nearly a century,
It strikes the average citizen as
strange, indeed, that the Newark Board
of Works and the legal counsel of New
ark should have entered into agree
ments with the railroad companies to
pay a large part of the cost of track
elevation in Newark when the provi-
sions of the law that Mr.. Whiting
speaks about, and which Mr.. Joseph
coult recently pointed out, were in
existence. There has never been a sat-
isfactory explanation given for the
blunder, IL the municipal acts can be
so characterized hat cost the city so
dear.
Mr.. Coult, in his opinion. which has
not been g~ainsaid, said that under the
law at the time the companies could
have been compelled to abolish the
grade crossings. and entirely at their
own expense. But the city authorities
S.dickered for years with the railroad
companies and pleaded. as to a master,
TO do what the law obligated them to
do. There was never q whisper of the
law In question until Mr.. Coult pointed
1t out, and then the city had undergone
IN expenditure Of several millions.

coMM1ss1oNERs HANo1Ne on.

It is said that great pressure is
being brought to prevent the decapita-
ton of President, Secretary and Treas
urer Morris and Commissioner Nc
Lellan, Of the half-defunct Fish and
Game Commission. The Senate has
passed h bill creating a new COM
mission, but the House has not yet
acted on the bill Governor Stokes
has selected a new board, but Morris
and McLeIan hang on as long as the
House fails to act. It Is possible that
a bill will be introduced in the House
for an entirely new system of man.
agement of fish and game.
The sentiment for si~ngle-headed
commissions has peen greatly strength
ened by the revelations of commission
incapacity and graft. and the bill
passed by the Senate is looked upon
as an obstinate adherence to a plan
of management that can show no good
results under any kind of auspices.
There Will be a chance. in case the
House passes a new bill. of q disagree
ment, which would leave Morris and
Mcclellan in office and power for an
year. Rather than that, the
House should accept the Senate bill
and enable the Governor to install his
new appointees.

TAFT ON THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR.

Secretary Taft is to talk at Column
bus, Ohio, lex Monday, and he will
speak on the Brownsville affair. For
aker was beaten in his attempt to show
that the negro battalion that "shot up"
the town was entirely innocent and
that the President was actuated by
race prejudice when he issued the order
for disbandment of the battalion. But
Foraker has continued to use the story
to influence the negro mind and vote.
Secretary Taft nay not be able to re-
move from the negro mind in Ohio and
elsewhere the impression craftily made
by Foraker, but he can show up the
dishonesty and triokery of Foraker and
duly impress the minds of intelligent
voters in Ohio.

REPUBLICAN LEADERS DoDdnv0 THEIR DUTR-YAROus
HfkoR TOPICS

Some of the State newspapers IRE discussing with more o.
less vgor the question s to how much the Assembly Investi-
eating Committees revelations viii iniure the Republican party
in the forthcoming election.
The correct answer to that query depends very largely on
the Republican leaders and their attitude towards the scandals
unearthed. IF they show a sincere desire to grapPle coura-
geousy with the revealed evils and mete out proper treatment
to the offenders, the general public will not be disposed to blame
the party. If, on the other hand, they try to dodge the ISSUE
evade their plain duty, or by other methods of either omission
or commission put themselves in the position of sympathizing
with the culprts, then the people have no recourse but to show
their feelings o n Election Day.
Up to date the Republican leaders and managers have not
measured up to the necessities of the situation. For some rea-
sympathy, misap apprehension of the facts, density OF
perception or causes not defned-they have done practically
nothing to relieve the party of the odium cast upon it by I'M
faithful public servants. The earliest testimony before the As
neglect of duty on the part of highly-paid State officials. 1t
was shown that one man, holding two offices and drawing two
salaries, hadn't been in Trenton for months, although he was
to appear in the State House when a bill increasing one
of his salaries made its appearance. Another man withdrew
funds from a bank which was paying interest on them
and deposited the money in a bank of which he was a stock
holder. Other officials drew big salaries for spending an hour
10 in their Office each week receiving visitors and shaking
hands. Since that time the Trenton Asylum managers have
been pnloried as hopelessly inefficient, to put it gently, and the
already singed them.
