Wherever a crowd of politicians gathers these days you
hear endless chatter about the Governorship. Everybody Is
making inquiries a to the sentiment In this o that section.
Favorite sons are doomed, but nobody has any very positive
opinions as to the nominees on either side.
On the Democratic side among the names heard are theses
James 3. MARITIME, Frank S. Katzenbach, Henry S. Terhune,
Howard Carlow, Robert S. Hudspeth, John R. Hardin and ex-
Judge Child. Marines boom Is not, apparently, so strong as
was a month ago and 1t Is doubtful If he will have his own
county solid. Katzenbach Is looming up strongly. Mercer County
lining up sturdny behind him, but he is not well known In
the northern end of the State. Terhune Is being enthusiastic
ally talked of by the Democrats of Monmouth, but as he voted
for the notorious Race Track bills he has an uphill fight to
make. Carlow is a nice little gentleman. He comes, how
from a hopelessly Republican County and that will prob
bar him. Hudspeth iA one of the cleverst of the lot,
and if the Hudson men make a stiff fight they may be able
to land him. Hardin and Child are too busy practising law
to bother about the matter.

In figuring out the chances for the passage of a Public
Utilities bill always bear in mind the fact that the political
Republicans and Democrats, are opposed to the measure.
In both Senate and House a small minority of earnest men,
Republicans and Democrats, are trying to have such an act
adopted. Possibly they will succeed before the present Legisla-
ture goes out of business, but they have heavy odds to over
come, as all kinds of obstacles are being put in the way.
And yet sit is dollars to green apples that both parties will

On the Republican side the men seriously talked of are
Supreme Court Justices Fort and Pitney and Sheriff Sommer,
with a few dark horses like Vivian M. Lewis in the background.
Sommer really doesn't want the nomination. His candidacy is
meant as a rallying point for the Cobyites to keep their forces
together. If the regular Republican nominee and the platform
are satisfactory to the Sheriff, he will probably drop out quietly.
If they are unsatisfactory, it Is altogether likely that the Colby
ties will put a ticket In the field, but the dominant feeling
among them today is that the regulars will, by their action,
render that unnecessary. The nomination of either Justice Fort
or Justice Pitney would suit them if the platform met their
demands, and Justice Fort would probably go further in that
direction than Justice Phney, though it must be remembered
that the latter received Senator coby's vote for United States
Senator.
just now it looks like a pretty even thing between the Fort
and Piney forces. If there Is an advantage Of either side
the odds seem to be slightly in favor of the former, as it is
believed that he will have the support of Governor Stokes,
Senator Briggs, Thomas N. McCarter, Colonel Kuser and, pos
sbly, "Davy" Baird. The most pronounced Phney men are
Senator Kean and Major Lentz, and they expect to be joined
by State Treasurer Voorhees, and one or two others.

Democrats profess to be more hopeful of success this year
than at any time in the past twelve years, and there is no
reason to doubt the sincerity of their declarations. Their ardor
has been increased by the news Of William B. Gour1ey's reig-
nation as Chairman of the State Committee. Mr.. Gourley is one
of the ablst men in New Jersey, but there are various reasons
why he is not THE man for State chairn.an. For one thing
his successor must have more time to spare to the duties, and
he requires diplomatic talent of a high order if he is to draw
the warning factions together. He and Bob Davis never
could get along amicaby, and Hudson County is too great a
Democratic stronghold to be ignored.

write the Unvritten Law.

As long as there remains a law outside
of the statute books, recognized as such
by the community and enforced and APP
piled as Jealously as any portion of the
written code, there is danger of gross In
justice. Communities are easily swayed
in momfnts of passion and partisan ship
away from the strict basis of fair dealing.
The lack of definition and prescription in
vites departures even from the tenets of
the unwritten doctrine. Any suggestion
that a woman's moral status is involved
%suffices to justify or excuse a homicide,
however wanton or unprovoked. The way
to conspiracy to slay innocent victims is
laid open, and soon the foundations of the
written law are undermined completely.
It is to safeguard against such subtle
encroachments Upon the law structure
ehat the community owes itself the duty
of confiding its cherished precept of
family honor to the statute books, to be
invoked In due form, and to be applied
with all the solemnity of the highly
evolved justice of our present state of
ociety.-washington Star.
Interstate Odors.
The Mhlodor which tainted the summer
night breezes all over West Philadelphia
has been traced to its origin. 1t proves
to be a New Jersey productive odor of
accomplishing crabs. 1t seems at nrSt Dlusn
a little surprising that West Philadelphia
should suffer from a New Jersey stencil
and the main portion Of the city be wholly
unconscious of it. This Is because New
Jersey is south as well as east of Philadel-
phia. The New Jersey plant that converts
king crabs into fertilizing material is stu
ated In B~illingsport, near Paulsboro, d.
rectly south of West Philadelphia, The king
crabs reached the fertilizins plant faster
than they could be disposed Of, and their
decay smelled to heaven and all over
West Philadelphia.
An interstate question might have been
raised by this New Jersey emanation. but,
fortunately, several Jersey towns rebelled
against 1t. With the organization of an
efficient State Board of Health in Penn
sylvania, county lines can no longer pro-
Ltect nuisances. State lines are mot so
easily crossed. Had these rotten crabs
been a little differently placed they might
have made Philadelphia miserable with
out disturbing greatly any considerable
town in New Jersey. In that case Phila-
delphia would ave had to hold its nose
and invoke interstate comfy to secure an
abatement of the nuisance.
A stencil arising in New Jersey and
offending in Pennsylvania has some OF the
attributes of interstate commerce., but, so
far as we recall. 1t is not made the SUBJ
ject of regulation and judicial review by
any of the recent legislation intending to
carry out President Roosevelt's policies
