ROOSEVELT HAS CHANGED
He Championed Once Some Things
He Now antagonizes.

Hon. ". ]. Bryan, while In Norfolk
last Friday, in a interview spoke of
the Harriman-Roosevelt episode. say
ing:
The President seems unduly ex-
cited over the alleged s50,00G,eo0
raised by Wall street to prevent his
reelection. If Wall street is opposed
to any doctrine held by President
Roosevelt, it is certainly not a Re
publican doctrine. When We came
up against the corruption fund in
1896 We found no more ardent
champion of these special interests
than Mr.. Roosevelt.

the Pennsylvania r. r. has made sur

Rocky Hill, Milestone, to Bound
Brook, then crossing the Central and

for improvement. The reported di-
vision at Morristown, one branch run

STATE INVESTIGATIONS.


The work of the Assembly Commit
tee Of Inquiry into alleged Republican
extravaganza in the management of
State departments and institutions
began at Trenton Tuesday. The mem
bers Of the committee are: Simon
Hahn, chairman, Democrat, from
Essex county Archibald Alexander,
Democrat, of Hudson; John Van Blar-
com, Democrat, Of Passaic; Alfred
Barber, Republican, of Mercer, and
Theodore B. Gibbs, Republican, of
Camden. If results come from the
committees work the State will be
surprised. An Investigation conduct
ed along the lines Of the Keep Com
mission, which investigated the de-
partments at Washington and sug-
gested methods of economy, might
possibly have accomplished something
for the State. Every business admin
istration, whether private or State, is
open to suggestion from experts. But
it is doubtful if any Investigation for
partisan purposes will be worth what
il costs.
The investigation opens under a
cloud Acknowledgement McCarter
has told the committee that it is
doubtful whether it has any power to
compel recalcitrant witnesses to an
swer questions. No specific authority
has been given the committee as to
the summoning of witnesses. He sug-
gested that the committee wait until
the meeting of the Legislature in
June before proceeding, when proper
provision might be made for the work
through a joint resolution. AS for
the expenses OF the committee, no
provision has been made, and those
who enter it's employ do so at their
own risk as far as compensation is
concerned.
These facts are recited at this time
merely to call attention to the crude
ness of the arrangements, which is
emphasized all the more strongly when
it is recalled that the committee came
into being through resolution passed
in the exciting moments Of the last
hours of the session. The wranglirg,
so far, promises i'll for the success of
the work started in so haphazard and
unbusineSSlike fashion, and with an
entirely Sc fish motive.-Elizabeth

HON. WILLIAM M. JOHNSON, OF Ber-
gen county, whose name has been IA
yorably mentioned as a candidate for
the Republican gubernatorial nomina-
tion next fall, has taken creditable
stand and removes himself from the
possibility of misunderstanding by
coming out in a statement in which
he says; 81 am quite free to say that
l have had an ambition to fill the
office of Governor and had hoped to be
a candidate for nomination this year
if the condition Of my health should
have permitted. have recently care
fully gone over the subject with my
physicians, who advise and admonish
me that | cannot with safety incur
the burdens and strain of political
camplign, or the exacting duties OF
GovernorShip if | should be elected. |
realize myself that it will need more
physical strength that l can now rea-
sonably expect to do justice to the re-
quirementS of the situation. Under
these conditions | regard it as my
plain duty to withdraw my name from
further consideration, and to state
that under no circumstances will be
a candidate. In doing this l CRATE
fully acknowledge the good wishes and
loyalty of my many friends and ac-
quaintances throughout the State, who
have expressed a hope that | might
receive the nomination, and desire
to thank them for their promises of
aid and support" By this manly
stand Mr.. Johnson has shown the same
spirit in regard to public office that
has always distinguished him, and it
is matter of regret in all parts OF
the State that his health is such that
he cannot respond to any call that
should be made upon him. Mr.. john
son further says 1.-THE approaching
campaign will no doubt be a vigorous
one, but there seems to be no reason
why the Republican party should not
again be successful. Its policies in
the main have been wise and progress
sive and deserving of popular approval.
l shall continue in hearty accord with
these policies, and shall hope, as here
tofore, to take part in the councils
and activities of the party, whose sue
cess l most earnestly desire"

MORRIS County is to be congratulate
ed on the excellent financial showing
of the Board of Freeholders for the
past fiscal year, when after closing up
the business of the year balance of
over S24 900 was shown, of which S14,
400 was carried to the sinking fund.
While the county expenditures have
greatly increased in the last quarter
Of century the people have cheer
fully met this increased demand, ask
ing only that the money be expended
judiciously and honestly. While in
other counties there has been need for
Investigations and in some cases legal
proceedings against members of the
boards, in Morris county there has uni
formly been excellent public service
and a due regard for the interests OF
the tax payers. While there have been
honest differences of opinion and criti-
cism Of methods no one has been shown
to have been guilty of grating" in
regard to public moneys. There is a
call for large appropriations this year,
especially for bridges to meet the
changed conditions coming with the
trolley, abolition of railroad grade
crossings, ETC., but as these conditions
bring additional valuations of property
the expenditures justify themselves.
One advantage the tax payers of the
county have over most of The counties
in the State is the general publication
OF the county collector 'sreports in the
papers Of the county showing how the
money is expended, thereby making
every taxpayer practically an auditor
of the accounts Of his immediate rep
reSentatiye.

THE withdrawal of William NJ.
Johnson, of Bergen county, from the
Governorship race. has centred more
attention on that of Judge J. Frank
lin Fort, of the Supreme Court. Judge
Fort, it is claimed, would receive the
support of the followers of Mayor
Pagan, for they realize that he would
not permit himself to be controlled by
any political machine. Judge Fort
will accept the nomination if offered
to him and will resign from the bench
in order that he may make an ener-
getic campaign. 1t is believed in
Hudson county that with the nomina-
ton of Judge Fort for Governor there
will be no open opposition on the part
of the machine to the denomination of
Mayor Mark M. Pagan The State
leaders, it is expected, will not allow
the fight in Jersey City to interfere
with the election of Republican as
successor to Governor Stokes.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Stevens Institute Prep. defeated
the Academy boys Wednesday after
noon on the Field Club grounds in an
interesting game by score to to 0.
The game was played brilliantly and
poorly at times by both teams. The
Prep. School team won on errors by
the Academy team at critical points.
The five heavy hitters of the visitors
had to go home contented with only
two hits off Clark. Cooke, who came
to town with record of sixteen hits
in four games, not only did not get a
hit but struck out three times. Kelly,
the exleaguef from the west, theil
heaviest hitter, also did not get hit
and was struck out for the first time
this season. In the seventh inning it
looked as if the Academy team woulc
tie the score when Thurman with three
men on bases drove a screening hit tC
left field, seemingly labelled for three
bases, but which was brilliantly taker
care of by Simon. The Academy team
put up the poorest exhibition OF bast
ball they have given this season.
