Mr.. Dryden's decision not TO seek reelection
to the United States Senate relieves a situation
which has been the cause of no little embarraSs-
ment TO the Republicans Of New Jersey. 1t has
been obvious for some time that the Junior Sen
ator could never get the united support OF the
Republican members Of the Legislature. His only
hope lay In attracting Democratic support or III
prolonging the present deadlock and appealing for
reelection 10 n legislature. But neither Of
those alternatives could be chosen without infict-
ing serious injury on the Republican party. The
results Of the election of 1906 anything
but reassuring 10 the Republican leaders. New
Jersey almost the only state in the Union
TO show a decided reaction against Republican
policies. President ROosevelt's majority of So
sos in 1904 was practically Obterated at the
election last year for Representatives in Con
gress. The Republican candidates in the zen
districts received 172.261 votes and the Demo
cratic candidates l69COS Three seats in the
House were taken from the Republicans
1t would be unfair to charge these losses 1T
the polls directly to Mr.. Drydens candidacy.
Dissatisfaction with the liquor legislation of The
last session and other local grievances undOuht-
edly contributed 10 the Democratic revival. But
whatever the causes Of that revival. it had be
come more or less associated IN the public mind
with Mr.. Dryden'S canvass for reelection. and
II would have been highly impoltic 10 invite an
other campaign on the emphasized ana exclusive
issue of indorSing or not indorsinS the Junior
Senator's record Many of Mr.. DrydenS stanch-
est supporters have freely expressed the opinion
that if he could not muster enough Republican
votes TO assure his reelection he should
promptly give way to another Republican and
thus end 4 controversy which was weakening
and discrediting the Republican party.
The Senator's withdrawal under these crcum-
stances is creditable TO his judgment and his
sense of political proprety. \ man OF narrower
vision and greater self-eSteem might have been
tempted to stand par his rights as a can
didate. Mr. Dryden submitted his claims last
year 10 a Republican primary and got pop
ular Endorsement II may be admitted that this
Endorsement could not bind Senators whose cleo
ton antedated the primary. Vet it gave the
Junior Senator an exceptional status and more
or less definite right 10 assert that he was really
the choice of the Republican voters He was
also regularly nominated by caucus of the
Republican members Of the Legislature, and
according to ordinary party usages should have
been entitled 10 united party support. But the
protest against him had to be reckoned with rs a
stubborn fact-an element In the New Jersey
situation which menaced Republican success.
Mr.. Dryden bowed in a measure to cirCum-
stances But in doing he has shown q COM
mendahle consideration for party interests.

The inability of the city Controller to secure
large and high bids for the new CatSkIil water
bonds is regarded by some persons as an arEu-
ment AGAINST that whole water supply extern
sion scheme The failure of capitalists to hla
for the bonds. they say. indicates lack of falth
in the enterprise and so they suggest thilt ihe
Catsliu plans should be abandoned and that
the city should turn back to the Ramapo con
Germ or some other like il for the addluohal
supply which it needs.
Slch views and contentious are %rouh"IeNN'
The reason why there is no more demand 'or
the water bonds is that they nave only snort
terIl-not more than twenty years-to run II
the ordinary fifty wear bonds of the city BRING
no more than 1904. can scarcely expect
high or eager bidding for water bonds which
Will mature in twenty some Of them in ten
years.
If does not seem wise to have made the water
bonds for so short a term. ON the practical
side of the case. as the Controller says. the
facts are that the city must have the water and
must have the money to get il with. and so it
must offer terms which will secure the money.
On the more theoretical yet scarcely less practI-
cal side il may be observed that there is little
reason for making the bonds fall due before
the sinking fund from water rates is ready Ia
meet them and that will surely not be in ten
and probably not in twenty years, or even
good deal more.
II the bonds were made to run for fifty years,
as do other city bonds, there would probably
be no more trouble in selling them than in sell
ing any other corporate stock of this municl-
DaIity

TO SrnDY CITY EXPENSES.

The City Council Of Boston has just author
tied the appointment Of a commission to in
vestigate the financial affairs of the city. The
commissions conclusions should be of especial
value and interest because its members will
not be politicians, but the selections of various
financial, legal, commercial and labor organiza-
tons OF Boston. They should be instructive to
the rest Of the country because OF the grow
ing tendency toward increased municipal ex-
penditures. That tendency has gone further in
Boston than in any other American city, and
Boston has now larger per capita debt than
any other American city, though it is still far
behind the per capita debts of many European
cities which have gone heavily into municipal
ownership ventures.
Says 1.-The Boston Globe:
1t is indisputable that Boston has been SPEND
ing too much money annually for twenty-five
years Like an extravagant private individual,
the city has been plunging into debt without
thought OF the future. All good citizens now
agree It is time 10 retrench.
We do not understand that there are any
charges that this money has been spent dishon-
estly, or even that il has been spent with any
especial extravaganza. City administrations
have merely yielded TO the incessant public de-
mand for municipal improvements all of them
desirable, until the city finds itself face TO face
with heavy debt and high taxes. which It
Is feared will drive business enterprises away
from or at least deter them from entering
Boston.
We have the same incessant public demand
FOR additional municipal improvements here in
New York We are always looking for meth
DDS TO raise the debt limit, and II is impossi.

ton 10 improve and beautify the city and make
II more attractive and comfortable place to
