The House of Assembly has adjourned till September, in
spite of the constitutional inhibition against such action. The
Senate is also lodging the Constitution by indefinite adjourn
ment. One body is watching the other and both have an eye
on the Gubernatoial campaign, which opens in five or six
weeks. Both sorely need a verbal spanking that will shame
them into reassembling in the State House, clearing the calen-
dar and going home. And the man to administer this chas-
tisement is Governor Edward c. Stokes. The Governor is
indhearted and he dislikes to hurt anybodys feelings, but the
circumstances warrant and demand plain words, regardless of
personal susceptbIites. The present situation has weInigh
developed the proportions of a scandal and the people look to
the Governor to end it.

Curious.

There were once two young women
who married.
And the question arising, How were
they to spend their spare time? one of
them took up the study of Greek his
tory, while the other plunged into So
ciety.
The sequel is curious.
For their respective husbands were
driven to exactly the anne kind of
drink.-Puck.

Professor Ito graduating class in coll
lege)-Young men. there Is one more
question I would like to ask, and that
is, what books have helped you most
In your struggles for an education?

check-book has helped me about as
much as any of 'em so far.-Judge.

Both Houses are equally to blame and there is little, if
any, difference in the responsibility of the two political parties.
Both arr playing small, petty politics. 1t is really amazing
that men entrusted with the honor, authority and responsibility
of making laws for the commonwealth should be so simple, not
to say silly, as to imagine that they ire foolng anybody.

1t will be urged, of course, that under a strict interpeta-
ton of the Constitution the Governor has no legal authority to
"butt in" The Legislature is a law unto itself and may do
pretty much as it p1eases about meeting and adjourning. All
of which is true. But there are exceptions to every rule and
this is most emphatcally a time for exception in the pro-
cedue usually followed. The people of New Jersey want this
monkey business ~stopped-they want their representatives to
cease the use of the 1aw-making machinery for petty political
purposes, and 1t is clearly not only the right, but the moral
duty, of the Governor to demand, in the name of ahe citizens
of the State, that they come together, finish their work and adj
journ sine die.

GOVERNOR STOKES SHOULD CALL THE LEGISLATURE TO rs
DUTY-POLITEclANS ALL At SEA.

The Legislature of New Jersey IS neglectng its duty. It
has no business to keep on foolng as it has been doing. The
people of this State expect better things from it, and they
have a right to insist upon a prompt and orderly dispatch of
the work in hand.

Straight tips" from politicians are strewn around with
generosity these days. Some of the wise ones will
tell you in almost inaudible whispers that it is all fixed about
the Governorship and so forth and so on.
The real truth is that the politicians are all at sea. They
are guessing, but wouldn't for the world that their satellites or
the general public should suspect ii. Not any more than the
on the street corner do they know what is going to hap
pen at the primaries or the conventions, and this applies to
Republicans and Democrats. Half a dozen of the sh1ewdest
Republicans in the State would give a great deal to get a
line on the probable outcome and at least an equal number of
Democratic leaders are in the same boat. Meantime they are
trying to keep as near the fence as they can.

The Inaammatory Darrov.

And yet what a debt does Mr.. Darrow
owe to the very constitution he asks the
laboring people to hate? There is no
other nation Of recognized position which
would tolerate from a citizen such treason
as he utters. 1t is because of the liberal,
democratic constitution Of the United
States-its recognition of freedom OF
speech, its manifest aim to protect the
citizen from too much government and to
make the citizen the source, not the sub
ject. of power-that Mr.. Darrow may
vociferate in his infiammatory style with
out putting his liberty or life In danger
from the government. Men have been put
to death In other lands for speeches less
violent. They did not have such a constitu-
ton as that under which Mr.. Darrow
lives. And now that his speech Is ended.
the frenzied lawyer should thank his lucky
stars that 80 tolerant and benign a con-
~stitution renders him immune from punish
ment for one of the most disloyal utter
ances possible for a man to make.-Louis

A Mans Face Is His own.

A mans face. like a w%oman's, is his

Thomas A. Edison's picture having been

that it can be appropriated for the profit
Of others no more than his name. This Is
a very sensible view of the case, and 1t
would seem as though the principle might
find very general application, especially
among cigar manufacturers, who SO fire.

In fact the political awakening of the people has spoiled
the political game as it used to be played. Before that came
to pass it was dead easy for people on the inside to predict
well, you couldn't call it predicting, because there was no
room for doubt. Months ENTHUSIASTICALLY more than a year
in ADVANCE group of estmab1e gentlemen put their heads to-
gether and decreed that John Jones should be the Republican
candidate for Governor. Another equally estmable bunch of
distinguished citizens met at some pleasant resort and picked
Thomas Smith as the Democratic candidate. The word was
passed along the line and the party workers did the rest.
Once in a while the grand seigniors couldn't agree and in that
case the convention might have several to choose from, but the
list was carefully restricted. The "favorte SON. business was
injected into the convention proceedings to fatter a few persons
and at the same time fool the public into believing that there
was a real contest for the nomination with a free field and no
favor.
Today the politicians haven't the slightest idea as to what
the voters may take it into their heads to do, but they are
trying very hard to find out if they can. For their part the plain
voters appear to be in a receptive mood. So far they are not
showing marked enthusiasm for any of the candidates named,
but that may come later on. They are, however, scruinizing
the records, character and affiliations of all the men suggested
for the Governorhip, and it looks as if they might be difficult to
please. One thing dead certain is that any political organiza-
ton that thinks it can force upon the people a candidate that
doesn't come up to the standard had better be prepased to
swallow a bitter dose of disappointment
