AND POLITICS.

Next week the two political State
conventions will be held at Trenton,
and at the same time the State Legis-
lature will meet in session. 1t is an
unfortunate coincidence. Active politi-
cal craftsmanship and legislative work do
not GO well together.
Why the Legislative managers post
poned legislation until after the political
primaries and until political convention
week is hard to understand. A week
full of political excitement and with the
attention of members of the Legislature
engrossed by party politics is a poor
time for lawmaking.
Attorney-G General McCarter, in his
opinion to the State Railroad Commits
sion that the commission really pos
sessed nothing more than advisory
remarked upon the hasty and
inconsiderate way the commission act
was passed. And politics was quiescent
at the time. What kind of Legislation
can we expect for next week with two
political nominating conventions MAX
ing the welkin ring?

NO sroPpAGE OF LEGISLATION.

Because the continuous Legislative
session prevents the issuance of the
bound copies of the seasonal laws, the
Jersey City Journal affects to believe
that the Legislature, as a matter of
public policy, should adjourn without
considering any new legislation. The
reason is far-fetched. The Journal
queries: How will 1t be if a man
should be charged now with a violation
of a law hat has not been promul-
gated in n way except by filing in
the office of the Secretary of Slater"
The answer is that the laws enacted
have been promulgated. as usual, in
pamphlet form and lave as much pub
licity as any previous seasonal laws
since newspaper publication was abol-
ished. The bound laws go to the law
yers, and they get the pamphlet laws
anyhow.

COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD.

The Democrats can reasonably feel
secure in the prospect of control Of the
Common Council and Board OF Educa-
ton after January l. OF the present
membership of the Council only two
Republicans will hold over for another
year. and it will be necessary to elect
fifteen Republicans to secure a ma
jority of the board. OF the Democratic
members twelve elected last year hold
over next year, and the Democrats need
elect only five candidates in sixteen
wards of the city to retain control.
In the Board of Education the condi-
tons are similar. Twelve Republican
commissioners will retire, and there
are three holdovers. 1t will be neces-
sary to elect fourteen Republicans for

are eleven Democratic followers, and

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER "A. 1907.
THE I QUESTION.

What the two State conventions will
say on the excise question is the essen
tial thing. A State convention is COM
posed of delegates representing sections
having widely divergent views on that
question. The sentiment of Essex as a
whole is not the sentiment of Somerset
or Burlington or Warren. What Hud-
son would be content with would be
altogether foreign to the wishes of Mer-
Ger or Morris or Cumberland.
Politicians have been ~reproached for
trimming" Those who c~riticise are
not men who manage political i've
lions and know the clements they have
to deal with. A convention platform is
often a string of platitudes because,
under the circumstances, it cannot be
anything else. Compromises are re-
sorted to because conflicting views of
the sections represented compel 1t.
In certain matters of State policy
there is now, however, a substantial
agreement throughout the State. There
is only one sentiment in respect to rail-
road taxation, anti-monopoly, reform in
State institutions and commissions, the
popular election of United States Sem
ators and on other questions. There is
practical unanimity on the abolition of
the voting machines. But there is a
question, and 1t seems to be irreconcil-
able.

THE INCREASED SCHOOL REGISTRY

The public school registration shows
a net increase of 1882, as against a net
increase last year of 1,944. In twenty
schools there are small decreases, so
the increase is divided among the re-
naming forty schools and their an
nexes. Population shifts annually. The
drift is from the centre wards to the
outlying wards. School attendance fol-
schools are stationary or loss in regis
tration others have increasing demands
for seats. 1t is the study of the COM
petent public educator to anticipate
these shiftings of the population and
provide for them.

Heroes in Peace.

The officers and men of the battleship
Indiana who coolly, in great danger. re-
moved ammunition from overheated cham
bers, are as much heroes as IL they bad
been under fire from the enemy. Possibly
they are greater heroes. In the face OF
the enemy, patriotism and a certain a v
agery that Is In man spur individuals on
to great deeds even if there is no par
ticular hope of glory, which Is sometimes
an incentive. But to take life in hand in
piping days of peace and descend into
what seems a death chamber is a kind
of heroism that is more often performed
than is generally known and is seldom
rewarded. We trust that the Carnegie
Hero Fund will look after the volunteers
who thus risked their lives to save hun
dreds Of men and a great ship. Had they
not succeeded just in time there would
have been a disaster compared with which
that of the Maine would have seemed
small. There ought to be official rewards
as well as Carnegie stipends for the men
who served the nation so well under such
unusual circumstances.-Philadelphia In

status Of a Democrat.

Defining it's character and defending it's
platform seem to be h%erculean tasks be-
yond the strength of the Maryland democ-
racy. But If Democrats could once dis
cover their identity there might be some
prospect for their finding out their
position. But at present they are all in a
fog. They are much in the position of the
bibulous individual who dreamed that he
was In the billowy clouds of heaven and
woke to find himself in a swamp. The
State committee has reused the sleeping
party to a realization that it is in a vapor-
Gus haze that is decidedly unwholesome so
far as its campaign prospects are con-
cerned. This committee has thrust upon
the party the startling question, What is
a Democrat? The only way out of the fog
lies in this direction. But the leaders have
apparently become discouraged at the pros
pect of having to define the indehnable,
and are willing to let the party drift along
with the name without seeking to discover
its nature.-Baltlmore American.

THE CHARTER ELECTION.

Interest in the election for Governor
and AssembIymen has obscured the
charter election. which is important
enough to every taxpayer. In the cleo
ton last year the Democrats secured a
majority of about four thousand on
Mayor and a plurality of II, 743 over the
regular Republican candidate. For
Board of Works Lambert, Democrat,
got $3.50 majority. and Halpin, Demo-
crat, 1858. The Democratic majority
on City Home trustee was 6,S63. In 1904
the majority of Doremus. Republican,
over Fielder, Democrat. for Mayor a
1851, and the majority for Eggers for
Board Of Works was 14,o7s. which a
about the normal Republican majority,
as seen by the vote on City Home
trustee.
In 1904 occurred the presidential cleo
ton and the Roosevelt sentiment car
ried the Republicans to victory every
where. Last year this sentiment was
not a factor and State and local issues
alone were in evidence, as they will be
this year. In the charter election ques-
tions thai more particularly interest
Newark voters will overshadow State
party issues, although the results will
more or less be affected by the State
contest. 1t is probable that the excise
question will largely influence the aver
age voter. Party lines. so greatly re-
Taxed in 1905 and last year. have not
