col. sLEmP's SUCCESSOR.
WHO SHALL 1T RE2|

The death of Colonel Slemp has
placed serious responsibility upon the
Republicans of the Ninth Congressional
District Who shall succeed him for
the unexpired term, is a question that
must be promptly and carefully con-
sidered. Without wishing to do Injustice
to any of the aspirants for the position.
we say in all earnestness that C. b.
Slemp should be the candidate of the
party to fill the unexpired term of his
Iatner. When we make this sugpes-
ton we express about the solid senti-
inent of the Republicans of Tazewell
county.
Bascom Slemp is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the work and policies of his
father as the representative of this
district in Congress. There are a great
many things of interest to our peopIe
that Colonel Slemp was undertaking to
do and have done, and in those matters
Bascom was the confidential adviser
and assistant of his father. He can
take these matters up where his father
left them incomplete, and carry them to
a finish. Besides, C. B. Slemp is more
thoroughly in touch with prominent
officials and public men generally at
Washington than is any man in the dis
trict, or, perhaps, in Virginia. 1t would
take new man years to acquire the
information and influence that Mr..
Slemp now has, and which he has
won with such energy and fidelity.
AS a matter of high sentiment as
well as from sound business viewpoint
all those Republicans who may aspire
to represent the district should upon
this occasion stand aside and let Bascom
Slemp be selected as our candidate for
the unexpired term.
Furthermore, he is recognized bv
public men, of the highest official posi-
ton, as one of the most capable men, in
either party, in this State. Of sound
Judgment, unbounded industry, unfiinch-
ing integrity, high moral and physical
courage, he will make an ideal repre-
sentative for this or any people.

THE INEFFECTIVE SEWER ACT.

Former Judge Francis Child, of the
Passaic Valley District Sewerage Com
mission, explains the position of his
commission in respect to it's appointed
work. He shows hat the legislative
act under which the commission Is
operating makes no definite provision
for financial means, and the commits
sion is reduced to the necessity of So
Letting the municipalities for contri-
buttons and thus far with Indifferent
success. Judge Child says:
1.-THE law under which we now are
operating is not the law we sought. 1t
is the best we could get. 1t does not
provide us with money. 1t only per-
mits us to receive money and use it
for the purposes of preliminary work
when the twenty-one municipalities
comprised within the district shall
voluntarily contribute to the expenses.
No provision is made as to the amount
such municipalities shall pay"
The fault, therefore, lies with the
Legislature, which includes a Senator
and eleven Assemblymen from Essex
County. in which the larger number of
these municipalities are located. 1t Is
an old story. The Legislature and two
governors. Griggs and Voorhees,. Jug
gled with the grave situation in the
Passaic Valley. and by pretence and
trick defeated the long-expressed
wishes of it's inhabitants for a law to
enable them to purify th~ PassaiO

Roosevelt sentiment, which was SO pro-
nounced in New Jersey in 1904, has
lost none of its potency. 1t has, in fact,
increased in strength among New Jer-
sey voters. In 1904 it overrode all State
questions, even railroad taxation,
which had then assumed great promi-
hence, and if it becomes enlisted in
the contest this year it will again max
all State questions subordinate. The
Democratic leaders would be most I'M
wise to ignore that sentiment in their
calculations, and it would be political
suicide to offend it. The November
election in New Jersey is not yet
fought and won, and it would be hard
to say at the present time what factor
will contribute the most to the results.

If the privilege is extended to the en-
listed men to wear civilian clothing while
ashore, it should be coupled with the
provision that IL any man elects to wear
his uniform on liberty 1t shall be con-
sidered a serious offense on his part If he
wears that Uniform into any drinking
place, or in any disreputable resort of any
character. He should be required himself
to show that respect for the uniform of
his country that sailors now complain
civilians do not always show to that uni
form. What he does while not In uni
form can bring no reproach upon the uni
form. When he does wrong in uniform.
it reflects upon the service and operates to
the injury of all other wearers Of the uni
form. If this suggestion should be adopted,
and the rule rigidly applied, it Is quite
certain that before long there would be a
complete cessation of the complaints of
discrimination against men wearing the
uniform of enlisted men in the navy

FACTORS IN THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

The Democratic leaders of the State,
in their confidence of electing the next
Governor on the legislative record this
year and ON the revelations by the
Hahn committee investigation, should
not underrate the effect upon the pub
lie mind of the legislation enacted by
the Republican Legislatures of 1905 and
1906, the greatest in the history of
legislation in this State. And the most
prominent of these new laws and the
one that is the most readily understood
end appreciated is the Perkins railroad
tax law of last year. which the Su-
preme Court has now fully sustained.
Another achievement was the great
reform in the taxing system. by which
all property is now assessed at full
value. The taxpayer did not under
stand that at first. He does now, and
he knows that the favoritism and dis
elimination by tax assessors are vir-
tually ended. All property, except
elusive personality. is now assessed and
taxed at uniform rates.
t can be argued that the system
of commissions and boards, which is
now shown to be radically defective
and full of rank abuses, is a political
inheritance from the long past, and
that probably in any year within the
last twenty years a similar investiga-
ton would have exhibited like results.
That does not excuse present mall
administration, but it may be pleaded
in extenuation of the responsibility OF
the political party now in control OF
the State government.
We are getting close to the great ma
tional contest next veal and the
