WANTS PEOPLE TO PASS ON
SUNDAY OPENING.
Declares That It's Unfair for Rich to
Get whiskey in Atlantic City, While
wOrkingmen in other Places Cannot.

Senator Everett Colby addressed a crowd
Of about 100 people from a truck on NORTH
Nineteenth street, lust off Park avenue
in East Orange. last night. He dwell
much on the Bishops law and advocated
local option. although not in specific
words. He thought it better for the East
Orange residents to settle among them
selves whether the saloons should be open
on Sundays. In that city, by the way,
the saloons have always been closed on
the Sabbath.
Speaking of the bill. the Senator again
proclaimed that he had voted for 1t. and
believed II to be a good measure. but In
Atlantic City he said he found members
Of law bodies of this State propped up
against the bar on Sundays getting thelr
glass Of beer. and, saying he was speaking
advisedly. declared that the hotel people,
saloon keepers and officials there had en-
tered into a ompact for the selllng OF
LIQUOR on the Sabbath, for IL II was not
sold on Sunday hotel men would lose con-
siderably. as there are millions of dollars
invested in hotel property.
Il voted for this bill because ] thought
he continued. The situation is this; n
some parts of the State the people do not
want to see IL enforced.
With Sheriff Sommer / have come to
the conclusion that the matter should. be
placed in the hands of every individual
municipality TO decide. The question
should be left to the will of the majority
they should IA prohibition,
allow liquor 10 be sold seven days n week,
or from 2 o'clock to 10. as some people in
wish. or in whatever way they
wish to arrange II. Every politician runs
away from this question. and will never
discuss 1t. At Trenton they pass an excise
TO please the church people. and then
its violation ~ The slv."
Senator Colby stated that one of the men
who has stood by his doctrine all the time
troubles him whenever they meet regarding
the Bishops law, and asks if 1t Is fair
the rich who travel to Atlantic City
can get all the liquor they desire on Sun
days, while the workingman who has to
remain in Newark gets nom The Sem
ator said he had to reply that 1t was not
fair. He stated that he had spoken to
bishops and ministers about II. and had
finally come to the opinion hat each mu-
nicipality should settle the question for
and II East Orange or any
other place wanted to have prohibition
every day in the week the people alone
be the ores to decide.
Senator Colby also dwelt at length on
the PRINCIPLES of the New Idea party n
spoke of the efforts made to get equal tax
alton and for a public utilities bill. He
also paid a tribute TO the Democrats for
their work in favor of the bill.

DIDN'T OPPOSE TRANSFER.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
VIII you please allow us space In your
paper to say a word relative to the grant
ing of the Crosse saloon transfer by the
town authorities of South Orange. Our
church held a meeting and decided that 1t
would not take any action for the follow
ing reasons:. That the transfer of the
Crosse saloon, now situated on the north
side of First street. cornering on valley.
west of Valley street, to the south OF
| First street, cornering on Valley. and west
of Valley. would not alter the location of
the saloon in relation to the church, for m
deed. IL anything, the present location is
nearer by fifty feet than the other. Hence
we couli not contend that they were bring
ing the saloon nearer the church.
Our next answer Is that the question
raised by the opponents of the transfer of
the saloon is not a moral or ethical dues-
ton, but purely q question OF personal In
terest. TO which we can not and Will not
he Il party. In other words, we Will not be
n cats paw to null the chestnuts out Of the
fire. for the question raised by those who
have approached us on this matter does
not present itself to us as one demanding
our Interference. From the fact no re-
licious or moral principle is involved
We deny n part of the statement In the
EVENING STAR Of the report from South
Orange, which read as follows:
9TH Rev. John d. Bolden, pastor OF the
First Baptist church (negro), who has been
spending his vacation i'll Atlantic City,
has returned home IN order to fight the
We deny this part OF the statement which
SAYS that The pastor returned home to tight
the Crosse saloon transfer. for our pastor
did not know anything about the matter
as no one wrote him about il. He came
home before his time was out on account
Of illness and death Of one CT his near rela-
tons in Trenton. After attending the flu.
neral he decided TO cut his vacation short
and come home. He has never said tina
he returned home to fight the transfer, bet
said we would talk it over. We have
talked 1t over and this Is the conclusion
We have bought of the New Jersey Trad
ing Company a lot on Second and Valley
streets, for the purpose of erecting {
church edlflce. as the lot upon which We
are now seated is too small, being only q
feet wide. We bought this lot over thre'
months ago.
1t would have been very foolish to ngh'
he Crosse saloon transfer with these fact:

FREEMAN NO DODGER
EAST ORANGE REFoRMER
PUTS END TO REPORT.
Rumored That Valentine Braun May
Oppose Him as Democrat in Race
for City Council.

Just as everything seemed bright for
Alden Freeman to become a member OF the
Fast Orange City Council somebody went
around and said he was a tax dodger. He
heard the story and fastened to send a
letter to Daniel c.. Whitman, tax assessor,
IL East Orange, and has a reply which
states that ne is not a dodger. Lost night
more trouble was made for him. It was
to be settled IN the Democratic
ranks that no one was to try for the
Democrat nomination at the coming prl-
marles, so as not to oppose Mr.. Freeman,
u several of his lieutenants said late last
night that Valentine Braun was having a
petition signed In order to run. The big
leaders are trying to have him give up the
1t is being charged openly that Mr..
Braun is being "sicked' on Mr.. Freeman
p his Republican enemies in the City
Hall. Following is the correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Whitman and the reformer:
MIR. Daniel c. Whitman, Tax Assessor.
Lear STA story comes to nue. from
Various quarters that am accused OF
ago, when for the first time you sent me a
Tax statement to fill out in addition to my
bill for poll tax. You will recall that on
the Following day | called at your home in
Steuben street, and that | freely and very
frankly told you concerning my small
possessions. After examination you de-
clared that / possessed no property sub
Ject to taxation, except a mortgage OF 1880
for money loaned to a friend.
Since that interview I have been paying
taxes on this mortgage. Last November
this mortgage was reduced to $3.50. / called
your attention to the reduction in the
amount of the mortgage, and told that my
taxes should be adjusted accordingly. VIII
you kindly confirm this statement of mine?
If / am in any particular in error in the
above statement or il you have any ground
for believing that ] have attempted to
eVade the payment of taxes due from me,
I shall be glad to know 1t. On the several
occasions when Major Lentz has inveighed
Iagainst me as q tax shir5er you have al
ways strictly defended me. From my
knowledge of your character | am sure
that your business connection with George
A. Grover. my opponent for City Council
man In the Republican primaries in the
Fourth Ward of East Orange. will not pre-
vent your doing full justice In this matter.
/ am respectfully yours,
ALDEN FREEMAN.
August 81.
In response to the above letter the fol-
lowing reply was received by Mr.. Free
Mr.. Alden Freeman:
Dear Sir-Your letter of 27 inst. Is at
hand. and | am not surprised to hear Of
the story of your being a tax shirker. J.
have been asked this many times. and
have always stated that it was not true:
that you had nothing to tax except the
loan of 81. 500. now reduced to $3.50. I am
glad to defend you or anyone else whom
| believe has made a truthful statement.

BOOMING THE DUKE
Joke on Edward HART Turned Into Sert-
Gus Candidacy for Democratic Month";
alton for County Clerk.

Edward HART, the ~Duke of East Or
ange," is still being doomed for the noml-
nation of County Clerk or the Democrats
ticket. AT the meeting of the East Orange
Democratic Gu last night fellow workers
were loud in their praise of his candidacy
and promised to work for him. Ii is be-
lieved that the boom, which was rolled
into concrete form at the recent outing
Of the Joel Parker Association and which
is said to have been started as a joke,
will spread.
Mr.. HART is one OF the most unique fig
ures in local politics, and is a happy-go-
lucky sort of n fellow, He tips the beams
at over 800 pounds. His heart seems TO
be as large as his frame, and he can
count friends In large numbers among
East Orange Republicans. He and James
MARITIME, the farmer orator, are close
friends. n the many conferences both
have held regarding Democratic chances
in the coming election are said to have
been a treat, both being a jolly pair.
To be a Democrat In East Orange has
been a difficult proposition, but The
Duke" hasn't been a bit backward In
coming forward wherever there Is an OPP
portunlty to fight for success in the city.
Travelling about Is said to be a hard
proposition, and the biggest obstacle In
the effort to get him elected as County
Clerk is that all the furniture in the office
would have to be enlarged. He and Mayor
William Cardwell, Republican, have nj
ways peen friends, and the Mayor has
been having a great time since MI. HART
was mentioned.
The entrance of Mr.. HART has
caused the formation of a new club,
the second one in the city, which FASTENED
TO pass resolutions indorsing him., calling
itself the Edward HART Association
Every member has agreed to act as a
missionary in order that the boom for
their idol may be pushed along. The
Duke 1t Is claimed, has done much work
for the party and has never sought any
favors of the leaders. If he secures the
nomination he will be opposed to John
B. Woolston. also of East Orange, who
was the Republican leader there until a
few months ago.
