VIEWS OF EDITORS.
Rrv.n should Speak Up.

If Mr.. Bryan is not going to run he
ought frankly to say so, for it is high
time that the Democratic party was pre-
senting for inspection the best men In Its
ranks and giving the people time to con-
slider their fine points, to weigh their claims
and to Judge of their fitness and capacity
for the vast responsibility of running and
of winning in the next campaign.
And so, in behalf of a great party when
seems to be hopelessly at sea both as TO
r3ea sures and to men, we forward to Mr..
BRYAN our earnest plea that he should
make plain his intentions toward Dame
Democracy. And this as speedily as pos
sible.-Atlanta Georgian.

People passing the new Court House
have speculated upon the possible use
of the unoccupied small triangular plot
at the point of junction of the two ave-
nues. The general belief has been that
it would be made ornamental. The spot
is favorable for such a purpose. The
approaches to the Court House should
be made beautiful where practicable,
and no chance to create a pretty effect
in the landscape should be neglected.
A fountain playing water, set in a
garden. would be a good feature. The
Shade Tree Commission and the Court
House Commissioners would not long
debate the matter before agreeing.

1t may be unfortunate for the city
that owing to IN oversight by a con-
tractor in his bid for the city's garbage
contract it is deemed necessary to read
vertise for bids. The offer of the con
tractor in question was $1O6, 900 lower
than the next lowest bid, the entire
contract to run three years. 1t will be
of interest to scan the new bids put in,
and compare them with those which the
Board of Work rejected yesterday.

The Republican State campaign is to
be formally opened at the Kruger Au-
ditorium next week. AS Essex is the
Republican candidates home county, it
is proper that he should begin the
serious work of the campaign here. Mr..
Katzenbach will doubtless also open his
campaign in Trenton, where his home
is. There will be large attendances at
both meetings. principally because of
the expectation that the candidates will
enter fully and in detail into EXPOSE
tons Of their views on the questions of
the day, including the question of ex-
else regulation. which with so many
voters swallows up all the rest in in

WILL JUDGE FORT BE ABLE TO STEM THE dERMAN-ITALHN
RRKoLT2 A BIO CONTRACT BREoRs HM.

The "Freie Zeit1ng, of Newark, is organizing a formidable
bolt within the Republican ranks, and unless something can be
done to stop it Judge Fort will fare badly in Essex County.
The purpose of the movement is to defeat Judge Fort and the
four Co1byites named on the Assembly ticket, and the present
intention is to formally declare this at a mass meeting to be held
in the near future. 1t is planned to urge support of the re-
mainder of the Republican county and city ticket. Pastors are
to be used. Four Democrats, to take the place of the Colbyhes
op the Assembly ticket, will be selected in the near future.

Until the candidates make their positions clear n this ques-
ton it is difficult for the unbiased spectator to understand
why there should be a large slump from one side to the other.
One might naturally expect caution and a refusal to be COM
mited until Judge Fort, Mr.. Katzenbach and the legislative
candidates on both tickets have openly. formally and specif-
cany stated their views on the issue. But what we might ex-
|pect them to do and what they are apparently going to do are
different things. Facts are stubborn things, and we can't alter
them merely by wishing to have them otherwise.
The evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1907-1908, 1907-09-27

Just what Judge Fort can do to anay the dissatisfied ee-
ments and keep them in the fold it would be hard to say off
hand, but he is resourceful and has the advantage of personal
acquaintance with men who are, or may be, leaders in the
insurgent ranks. Their chief grievance is with the so-called
" Bishops law They seem to think that it is this law that
makes Sunday iquor-seling illegal. OF course that isn't So.
The law now On the statute books against Sunday saloons is
the Werts law, for which the Democrats we're responsible. What
the Bishops law did was to make the existing law easy of
enforcement. Now the Republican State Convention practically
pledged the party to the maintenance of this " Bishops law"
The evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1907-1908, 1907-09-27

But Judge Fort has said that he is for Home Rule, and
the manner in which his declaration was received made it plain
that this was interpreted to mean local regulation of the liquor
traffic in all its phases. That is what the Democratic Conven-
ton promised, if its reference to Home Rule was not meant to
mislead and deceive, and Mr.. Katzenbach declares himself in
absolute accord with the platform.
The evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1907-1908, 1907-09-27

The campaign is young, however. When Judge Fort gets
his persuasive eloquence at work on the prospective bolters he
may be able to convince them that it would be unreasonable
and illogical for them to turn the State over to the Democrats
under such circumstances. 1t is worth his while to try because
the consequences may travel far beyond even the control of the
State government of New Jersey. ]. M.

To make matters worse, the Italians are inclined to follow
the lead of the Germans, and their voting power in Newark,
Orange and Bel1evile is tremendous. For years they supported
the Republican ticket pretty soid1y, but they made a big break
away last year o IN the " Bishops law issue. But many of
those who stood sturdiy by the Republican nominees a year
ago are now out boldly with the insurgents.
Possibly Judge Fort may be able to stem this tide of de-
lection and win back not only those who are now straying
away but also the men who went over to the Democrats last
year. But he will have to think and act quickly. The revolt
is rapidly getting to a head, and unless dealt with before a
public demonstration is made and nen irevocably committed it
be impossible to do anything.

CIeveIand's Experience with Johnson
No city can get along as well, If ever so
efficiently governed by a boss, a machine
or any outside force, as it may hope to If
wholly free to work out it's own salvation.
A city ~tyrannized is a city fettered. A
municipality ruled by a despot is cramped
and demoralized. 1t is subjected to un-
wholesomeness and deadening influences
which sap the very life of its civic enter
prise and ambition. Its local government
is an opiate.
If the johnson machine in Cleveland
were as efficient in the city's business as
it is in political hustling and t~yranny-if
the Mayor was as brilliantly successful in
serving the city as he was in making his
own fortune out of public franchises and
syndicates to exploit them-still the effect
of his personal despotism in civic affairs
would be extremely bad for Cleveland. Nc
man could administer the business Of the
Mayors office well enough to offset the
evil done by such a machine as, the one
now entrenched in the City Hall.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

Possibly the importance of this news may not appeal to
some people, especially outside of Essex County. Even within
this county it is likely to be underestimated by those who don't
realize how large the German vote is in Newark and Orange.
And, mind you, the present movement is not being directed
by the brewers and sa1oonkeepers. The backbone of the Ger
man element-the business and professional men-are reported to
be either active in it or in sympathy with its purpose. 1t
won't do to call these men beer guzzers'' or tools of the
brewers or saloon agents, because to do S would be both ride
ulous and unjust. They are men who have positive opinions on
the Sunday liquor question simply as citizens, and abuse of them
won't change their views or persuade them to vote contrary to
their own Judgment.
