STATE PAPERS ON CAMPAIGN
Fort Needs No Admonition.

LF'rom the Camden Post-Telegram. Rep.1
The NEWARK EVENING STAR has a
contributor who, over the initials 81. NJ"
has been furnishing to it's columns a series
of homilies on the existing political stu
alton in New Jersey and the need of the
correction of abuses in government and
malfeasance in party management. His
effusions thus far fail to make it entirely
clear to which of the political parties, IL
either, he belongs, but he appears to be
one of the political school who regard
themselves as "reformers," and who find
1t difficult to perceive anything substan-
TALLY worthy of appreciation in the leader
ship or management of either party. Thus
In his latest dissertation he delivers him
self as follows:
Let us say emphatically to the men
who run both of the great political part es
that we insist on a new deal. Let us tell
all concerned in no uncertain tones that
our Governor Alust recognize no claim for
office that is not backed by merit and
character n standing commensurate with
the place, and that it shall be his duty to
require every appointee to give to the
State faithful and efficient service"
In the case of Judge Fort and those
most Immediately concerned In the promo-
ton of his candidacy for the Governorship
no such warning admonition Will be found
requisite. The Republican candidate has
already completely obvlated the remotest
need nj it by IN ~unequivocal and emphatic
public proclamation of the policy that
shall control his administration OF the
office in the event of his accession to the
-Governorship. Had he been apprised in
advance of the exactlons proposed by the
EVENING STAR contributor to be LAID
upon "our Governor" Judge Fort could
not ave more comprehensively and explic-
lily met them than he spontaneously did
in his speech in this city on Thursday
night last.
He therein declared with all the en-
phasis and solemnity of which language Is
capable that as Governor he would be the
servant of no political organization or
party, but Of the whole people OF the
State; that he would make no appointment
to office upon the sole ground of partisan
service or political influence, but would
require a full mental and moral worthi-
ness, even to the limit of selecting a
Democrat in the event Of his inability to
find for the incumbency of any Office q
Republican fully measuring up to this
standard; that he would exact from every
State official subject to his authority
the most faithful discharge Of his
official duties, and that he would,
furthermore, exert every endeavor to Sc
cure legislation empowering the Governor
to summarily dismiss the incumbent OF any
appointive State office whom he might hnd
incompetent or derelict.

wrALTH ANp STOCK sHR1NKAeE.

A stock shrinkage of three billions
in the New York Stock Exchange in
the last year is figured out. The Jour-
nal of Commerce computes a shrink
age in seventy industrial stocks of
more than a billion and a half. Is this
actual loss of wealth?
1t is il over-capitalization is wealth.
The man who buys stock at fancy
prices and is compelled to sell after the
stock has fallen greatly in price UNI
doubtedly loses that much money, but
he loses it to somebody else who sold
him the stocks. The difference between
the purchase price and the selling price
does not disappear.
DISQUALIFICATION and speculation
have inflated stock values beyond all
reason, and in the nature Of things
inflated values cannot long be main
tanned. A single Whit of adversely
knocks the wind out of them. The
enormous stock shrinkage need not
affect general business to any ap-
probable degree. Many people whose
wealth was in stocks are poorer in
estate than they were and some are
broke, but the general community re-
mains unaffected and undisturbed. 1t
should be added, also, that the income
value of most of the principal stocks
ket is the same as before. The stock
holders who depend upon their divi-
dends for a living experience no loss
except that their stock does not have
the same market value.

VOLUME LxxvI.-No. 2o3.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER "a. 1907.
CANDIDATE KATzENBAcH TONIGHT.

There will be a turnout of the New
ark Democrats at the Kruger Audi
forum tonight to greet Candidate
Katzenbach. The Hip section will be
agIow with red-fire and the streets
viii resound to the tread of marching
clubs. This, at least, is on the program.
It will be like an old-time Democratic
demonstration night in Newark, for
the visit of the Democratic candidate
to the metropolis of the State is to be
treated as the great feature of his
campaign.
There is a pronounced feeling of con-
fldence among the Democratic party
leaders, and it leavens the whole party
lump. 1t was by a narrow margin that
the party missed scoring a plurality
in the State last year, and the leaders
now see where it could have been over
come. A little more effort in Middle
sex and Monmouth might have done
the business. If the party vote of last
year can be held "a plurality may be
scored for Katzenbach this yea even
though there be no Cave of Adullam
for Republican malcontents to resort to.
What Mr.. Katzenbach will say to-
night will probably be no new mes
sage. He has made many speeches in
his rapid tour of the State and touched
upon every topic save perhaps one
the excise. The Democratic candidate
has doubtless well considered his CAM
paign, and will prosecute it in his own
way. If he chooses to dwell upon ques-
tions of State policy and duties that
pertain to the Office of Governor, and
treats such matters as the excise as

ing election, he responsibility
Tor results. A general figures a battle
on his own plans, which may include
a fight under cover or an ambuscade.
A fight in the open is not always a
winning one. But let us wait and see
what Mr.. Katzenbach has to say on
this momentous night of his campaign.

Oh yes, the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York,
reformed after the Hughes investigation. Some of us were
inclined to doubt it when Stuyvesant Fish was thrown out of
a railroad presidency because he wanted to air some things
which would interfere with the plans of E.. H. Hartman. But
the doubters were properly snubbed and rebuked. Would we
dare insinuate that anything but the most immaculate and inn
peccable management was possible under the presidency of
Charles A. Peabody Certainly not. He would never, never
the soundest business principles. So we had to let it go at
because there could be no possible answer.
But, somehow, Hartman still went on borrowing from the
Mutual Life. His borrowing ran up to nearly $40 100000 and
some of the security was such as is not permitted by the New
York insurance law. One fact that must be borne in mind in
connection with these transactions is that President Peabody is
a director in Hartman railroads for which some of the money
was needed. Merely a coincidence, of course, but in the case
of anybody less exalted and sngle-minded than Mr.. Peabody it
might eVoke-wel, in-natured and cynical comments.

Five and a half per cent. interest is
the rate that the Jersey City Com
mon Council has authorized the Mayor
and financial officers of the city to ac-
cept in a sale of $625, 900 of the city
bends. This looks like going back to
the sever per cent. interest rate that
Newark and Jersey city once paid on
long-term bonds. The increase is part
ly due to the tight money market and
partly to the city's impaired credit
with money lenders.

WHAT WILL CANDIDATE KATzHNBAcH SAY ToM0HT2 OUR
BANKS ARE SOUND. ETC. ETc

We have almost arrived at a point where it will be posi-
bile to contrast the views of the rival Gubernatorial candidates
on the excise problem.
Judge Fort came out several weeks ago for the Bishops
bill, for its enforcement everywhere and against any repeal or
modification of the law.
Candidate Katzenbach was supposed to have committed him
self to the Home Rule solution of the question in his Camden
speech last Saturday. But he has since repudiated the remarks
attributed to him and we must wait for his speech here III
Newark tonight in order to learn just where he does stand.
Further delay would be both futile and fatal.

Let there be no misunderstanding Of the situation. There
lis no danger here O elsewhere outside of the limited speculative
area in New York. The banks of this country are, on the
whole, wisely and carefully managed, and nobody but a
crazy person would willingly shake that confidence, which is the
very life of all business, and especially of the banking business.
Banks do not keep their deposits lying idle in the vaults. The
money is loaned to our merchants, manufacturers and builders,
and conditions, which would lead to a stoppage of such loans
are not to be invited, mol should they be permitted. Here in
New Jersey we know our bankers and trust. them. It behooves
all of us to stand firm as the eternal hills in dissolving doubt
and encouraging optimism. There is absolutely no reason what
ever why any person in. this city, county or State should with
draw or withhold one dollar from the local banks. Let us all

banks involved have been allowing their funds to be used
in speculative enterprises. In the face of this, is it not the
most astounding impudence for an official of the Knickerbocker
Trust Company to blame President Roosevelt for the troubles of
that institution According to this official the President has
undermined confidence, hence the embarrassment of the Knicker-
booker. Was it the Presidents speeches or policies that compelled
the retirement of Charles I. Barney from the Trust Conpany's
presidency? Or was it his association with. Heinze, Morse and
Thomas in their gambling games? In the face of the known
facts Vice-President Turnbulps brazen attempt to put the blam e
on President Roosevelt makes one ask whether moral obtuseness
does not bring with it mental decrepitude.
