THERE is cold comfort indeed for
the gamblers at Lakewood, Atlantic
City and other places throughout the
State, for the violators of the Sunday
closing laws and the violators of law
in general, in the words of Governor
elect Fort at a banquet of Masons in
his home city last Friday night. The
Governor took occasion to make plain
tie fact that he stood solidly with the
President by his toast to that able,
fearless, courageous and incorruptible
statesman, Theodore Roosevelt which
he requested be drunk standing and
in silence. And he also made it plain
that as Governor he will require all
State officials to enforce the laws,
from one end Of the statue book to the
other, let the consequences be what
they may He declared that for the
next three years if the laws were not
enforced there would be commission
ers and prosecutors out of jobs, and in
response to a cry from the floor. You

THE New Jersey brewers have con-

to stop the wave of prohibition that
seems to be sweeping over some parts
of the Union and that has already
exerted an influence in New Jersey.
When one State after another in the

views among those most deeply inter

as New Jersey is concerned. The liquor
interests will not attempt to secure
any more liberal legislatioEr-not this

POPE NAMES FOUR CARDINALS
Says Rights and Laws of Church Have
Been TrampIed Upon.

Rome, Dec. 17.-The pope held a
secret consistory, in which he raised to
the cardinalate Mgr. Pietro Gasparri,
secretary Of the congregation of ex-
traordinary ecclesiastical affairs; Mgr.
de Lai, secretary of the congregation
of the council; Mgr Ludovic Henry
Lucon, archbishop of Rheims, and
Mgr Paul Pierre Andrieu, archbishop
of Marseilles.
The pope delivered an ALLEGATION in
which he made reference to the tena-
cious persecution of the Redeemer and
said that his church has been attacked
from all sides in warfare open or
dissimulated.
The rights of laws of the church
had been trampled on even by those
who should safeguard them, and the
impious and vulgar press had fought
her even to the extent of disturbing
the public quiet The pontiff cited the
recent disorders in Italy.
To this must be added, he continued,
the disastrous propaganda, in the bos-
ON of Catholicism itself, which is be-
ing carried on by modernists who dis
dained the pontifical authority and de-
sire themselves authoritatively to sane
ton new faith and a new conscience.
If the modernists would enlist them
selves frankly among the enemies Of
the church this veil would be less AS
it is, they proclaim themselves Catho-
lies, partake of the sacrament and eel
citrate mass.
The pope announced the appointment
of Mgr. Kennedy, rector of the Amer
lean college here, to be titular bishop
of Indianapolis and the appointment
of Mgr Dennis O'Connel, rector of the
Catholic university at Washington, to
be titular bishop of Sebaste.

THE new primary law was intended
to do away with party conventions,
but it was found that the nomination
of Governor and Congressman would
be inconvenient without a convention,
and these were excepted. The cleo
tion of delegates to National Conven-
tions and the selection OF electors
were not considered by those who pro-
posed the bill. The method provided
to take the place of delegates and con-
ventions is for county candidate to
get one hundred voters to sign petit
tion endorsing him as the candidate
of a political party. Each candidate,
or as many persons as like, who can
get one hundred signatures, can thus
become county candidates. The petit
tions are to be filed with the County
Clerk fifteen days before the election.
After the County Clerk has completed
the collection he must sort the petit
tions out for the various municipalities
and label each with the party emblem
it is intended to represent. The mum
icipal clerks shall have the tickets
printed, bracketing the names OF tile
candidates for each office. These tick
cts are to be voted direct by the vot-
ers, who are required to cross OF all
but the names they want to vote Tor.
The County Board of Elections are to
canvass The vote and the candidate
having the largest number of votes in
the aggregate is to be declared the
party nominee. Thus if fifty c2ndi-
dates were nominated and all but one
of them received ten votes each and
one received eleven votes the eleventh
man would be the nominee. Candi-
dates for municipal offices require but
fifty signatures. Every candidate can
make his own platform and the party
that maybe represented, or miSrepre-
by the candi late can like it or
not, as it pleases. 1t is reported that
a supplement- to this law will be in
PRODUCED at the coming session OF the
to remedy the defects in
this law, and it seems to need a good
deal of amendment.

rimes when Patience Cease.

Delays still continue on the Lacka
wanna and the Summit Record calls
for concerted action by the municipal,
tiles along the line, saying that there
are times when patience ceases to be a
virtue and that point seems to have
been reached in the relations between
the Lackawanna road and its patrons.
On Wednesday the train due here at
AIT was held for an hour at the tun-
mel on account Of blasting, 50 it was
stated, and was passed at Summit by
the Easton mail, which in turn did
not reach Morristown till after five
o'clock, and then had to wait here for
the other train to catch UP bringing
passengers and mail to so on up the
road. Two hours and three quarters
was the time by the accommodation
between New York and Morristown.
