FREEMAN WORKER
SAYS mot GUILTY."
Andrew Davidson's Case Goes to Grand
Jury, Charged with Falsely Swear
ing to Petitions.

ing TO Petltlons.
Andrew Davidson, the Alden Free
nan worker. of 16 Hawthorne place,
East Orange, pleaded not guilty to a
charge of falsely swearing to a Demo
cratic petition from the Fourth Ward,
East Orange. last night. when ar
raigned before Recorder Franklin w.
Fort in the East Orange Police Court.
Through his counsel, Martin Conboy,
he also waived examination. and the
case was sent to the Grand Jrny. His
bail bond of 81. 900. signed by Andrew
J. Murray, a saloonkeeper, was con
tinued.
The courtroom was filled by a large
crowd. which included all the promi-
nent Democratic leaders in that city.
Alden Freeman remained away. Many
members of the City Council were also
present when the case was called. The
complaint had been made out by City
Clerk Lincoln e. Rowley, who was
present to testify.
When asked to plead Mr.. Conboy an
nounced that his client would enter a
tentative plea of not guilty. The pro-
ceedings only occupied a few minutes,
and not a loud word was spoken.
When Mr.. Murray signed the hond he
announced:
Politics is a a game
Later he added that they were
hell"
Immediately after the trial William
Simpson. of Elmwood, a Republican,
told Assemblyman John w. Lane and
Edward HART, Democratic leaders in
the city, that he understood that on the
Republican ticket in the third district
of the Third Ward he name of Edwin
G. Baigrie was on the official ballot as
a candidate for a committee job. He
said his right name is George Bartholo-
new Baigrie, son of the former Coun-
Gilman. and that the records in the
Central Presbyterian Church. Orange,
show that he was baptized att the
church by the Rev. DR.. Yeomans April
8, 1887. which shows hat Balgrie is not
even a voter.
Simpson and former Councilman
Baigrie are relatives, but are not
friendly. 1t is probable that the Demo-
Gratis will take some action. owing TO
the arrest of Davidson, which caused
considerable feeling among them.

Boards Prediction Has Come True

The result of Tuesdays election
/ demonstrates in concrete form both
the danger and the effect of the igno.
| rant, venal negro vote in matters of
| public policy upon which the white
citizens Of any community are di-
| yided.
When John S. Beard, speaking in
the state senate last spring on his
DISTINGUISHING amendment, sounded
his warning as to the danger of the
negro vote, no one probably imagin-
ed that this prediction made at that
time would so soon be verified Mr..
Beard then said, in effect:
You think you have got rid of the
negro in your elections. BY means
of the white primary and as long as
the white citizens are united, YOU
have perhaps for time done so.
But mark you this: The time will
come when some great issue arises
on which the white people will be
divided. Each side will then strive
to secure the negro vote, ana the ne
gro, holding the balance of power,
will determine the result
Mr.. Boards prediction has come
true in Escambia county and sooner
than anyone could have predicted or
expected. The white voters Of the
county were divided, a majority of
them, however, favoring Prohibition.
But the white people nullified each
others votes, and the NEGRO, hold
ing the balance of power, decided
the election.
White men who had paid their
property taxes and poll taxes and
voted for years were in effect dis
franchised by purchasable negroes.
who never pay any property taxes.
whose poll taxes were on this Occa-
sion paid FOR them by some one
else, and whose votes decided for the
white people of the county the result
Of the issue.
Both sides in the recent contest
tried to get the negro vote, and the
saloon interests got it. Which side
got 1t however, is not the point. A
contest among white men that has
to be decided by purchasable negro
votes is discreditable, no matter
which side gets the negro, and any
plan that can be adopted to elimi-
nate this element from contests in
which the better element of the
white people are divided-as they
were in this case-is worth consider
ing.
Escambia county has afforded an
object lesson not only for her own
citizens, but for the people of the en-
tire state and one worthy of consid-

PLATT'S LIFE A FAILURE,

There is nothing so clever as ire
proachable conduct" said Nine. De
Maintenon long ago.
Senator Thomas c. Platt, now
nearing the 18th year of his life,
must certainly realize the force OF
this statement, especially now that
he is being sued for divorce by a
woman to whom he claimes he was
never married.
Few of us ever realize this truth
until it is too late.
Senator Plat didn't. 1t was only
a short time ago that it seemed to
dawn upon him that his life had
been failure. For to some one he
is reported to have said in mournful
retrospection, My life could have
been much better; it has not been
worth while. If l had it to do over
again, would model even my po-
litlcal course along other lines.
Age atrophies our dearest yanities.
Wealth, position, power, fame-the
glittering things We grasp and treas
ure in the glare of noon-do not glow
SO gloriously in the fading light of
life's sunset.
1t will be remembered that in
Nine. De Maintenons own time the
reckless French beauties, after their
fling at fieeting joys, were wont to
retire to a convent to pass their de-
clining years in penance.
Human nature is much the same
the world over and through all time.
And old Tom Plat is human.
He has made millions for himself
and more millions for others, but all
this money does not satisfy. He was
for years the real lawmaker Of New
York state, but not law he made
can be pointed to with pride. In the
United States Senate he has been the
most watchful agent Of the corpora
tiOns. but his name is attached to no
great measure and his voice has been
heard in no utterance that anyone
cares to remember He has gained
wealth and power for himself and
his associates, regardless of the cost
to the helpless public.
And now his private life in all its
recking rottenness is to be laid bare
in a divorce court.
Many well-meaning man no
doubt has secretly envied Platt and
would gladly have stopped throwing
stones and swap places with him.
1t cannot be denied that the ruling
influences and tendencies Of bust
ness and political life in this country
are toward Plattism.
1t is too late for Plat to make
much amendment. But in his con-
fessed disappointment there is much
for younger men to think about.
