the overthrow Of the whole Christian
Science faith. TIL great majority Of the
believers in Christian Science, as must be
admitted even by those who do not agree
with them, are intelligent, earnest and
faithful people. Theirs is a belief which
appeals to the reason, unreasonable as
some of its teachings may seem. Believers
such as this are not to be overthrow and
turned to retreat by the decision of any
court. Even after proving Mrs. Eddy in
sane, there must be something of truth in
her teachings, to hold SO securely these

At least a few we1lto-do Republicans in New Jersey say
privately that they are going to vote the Democratic ticket this
year. The reason Oh, they've lost heavily in Wall Street.
According to their convincing logic the way to get even for
those losses and to remedy the conditions which brought them
about is to help elect a Democratic Governor and Legislature.
How do they figure it out? Why, Roosevelt has gone too
far Ask them in what respect, specifcatng, ETC., and all
you get is that the Presidents radical policy has caused the
trouble No, they don't object to the STANDARD Oil Company
and other corporations being obliged to obey the law-not at
all, but they reierate that the President is to blame. They
have been told this so often that it has lodged in their brains
as unimpeachabe gospel. And they are going to get square
somehow.
Englewood has a Taxpayers Association which is paying
for the publication of the local tax assessment list in the
"Eng1ewood Press" The publication of these lists in every
municipality of the State ought to-be made compulsory and the
expense paid out of the .pubic funds. Publicity must neces-
|sar1y precede honest tax reform, and no man who is paying
his Just share can reasonably object to it. The opposition comes
from politicians who use the assessment machinery to reward
friends or punish enemies and from the benefciaries of this un-
fairness. Every taxpayer has a right to know what his neigh
injustice.
The political party that comes out strong for this during
the ensuing campaign is likely to make considerable capital
out of it. ]. M.

We re told that the Democratic leaders are thinking about
changing the date of their State Convention SO as to have it a few
days after the Republican Convention. The alleged reason given
is to prevent the latter having the Democratic platform before it
in framing resolutions. That suggestion is SO silly as to be
unworthy of consideration. A great political party that isn't
able to frame its party creed and define the issues right off
its own bat must be in an advanced stage of intellectual
pdecrepitude. Surely the Democratic leaders know now the
reasons on which they intend to appeal to the voters of New
Tersey-theI reasons why they should have returned to them
the power which was taken from their hands twelve years ago.
If they don't, or if they fear that those reasons are 81 weak
and fimsy as not to stand analysis, criticism and attack, then
their condition must be worse than has been generally sup
posed.

BUNCH OPeMoRB or LESS UwMpoRTANT PARAGRAPHS.

Isn't it real nice of the Trenton Asylum managers to put out
the semi-o66cia1 announcement of an intention to resign before the
end of this year? How grateful a waiting public must be over
this example of condescending elfsacifce on their part.
The soemnity of these discredited officials would be EXERT
ciatingly funny if their negligence and incompetence didn't have
a tragic side to it. They take themselves too seriously and they
overrate their ability to stay in Office in spite of the wellnigh
unanimous demand for their designations. Governor Stokes is
permitting them to remain in Office at a great sacrifice of pres
tge and popularity on his part, but even he can't save them
much longer. e

Henry Watterson tells us that party government is a hmm
bug. So it is-with qualifications, as we know from experience
in New Jersey. Both of the great party organizations when in
power did just as much for the organization and as little for
the public as the latter would stand for. Bot popular opinion
powerful here, and when it is aroused it can make the poll
tcians do pretty nearly anything.
