An ERectiye Bribe.

Some editors were discussing the per-
s~onality of Archibald Clavering Gun
ter. the author of Mr.. Barnes of New
York"
Counter" said a dramatic editor, had
a keen sense of honor. Bribery of any
sort was very distasteful to him 1 re-
member the pointed way in which he
told of a bribery story in the presence
of a theatrical manager whose eulogis-
tic reviews in the press were thought
to be due, in one or two cases, to palm
OIL A weekly paper a attacked this
manager, and then suddenly turned
around n praised him. The manager
said 1t was a remarkable thing. And
then Gunter told his story.
HE said there was an old rail-
RAJ Waterman who was overload of
whiskey. One cold and stormy night
the Waterman foun a tramp in a warm
box car, and sternly ordered him to be
Off. The tramp begged and pleaded in
vain. The Waterman knew his duty,
and would perform it.
$50 the tramp rose from the COM
Portable corner, and slowly and sadly
pinned up the collar of his thin coat as
some protection against the storm.
"All right, boss he said. I'll go II
I must. You've got to do your duty.
Then he pulled a pint flask from his
hip pocket. To show there's no hard
~feelin',' he added, take a swig o. this.

and lit up, and as he stretched out an
eager hand he said, smilingly:

VIEWS OF EDITORS.
The Exposition Habit.

The fact is, the American public had its
exposition hunger stated some time ago.
There has been too much repetition about
1t. Since the Columbian Exposition we
have had others at Buffalo, st. Louis n
Portland, Ore, the latter being the nearest
approach to success of the lot, because 1t
gave Eastern people an opportunity to see
the Western half of their country at re-
duced expense. The Virginia affair does
not seem too we'll managed. But even with
the best Of direction we doubt whether
this enterprise could nave been made a
success. We doubt still more the wisdom
of the government in continuing TO enter
into partnerships of this sort. Seattle pro-
poses to have ready two years hence an
Alaskan exposition, to which the govern
ment will probably ,be invited to lend
credit and money. But why should it? 1t
is only forty years since we acquired
Alaska. 1t has been worth more to Seattle
than to any other city or section in the
country, and If she desires to jubilate at
her own expense, 1t will be her own affair.
but the government should retire from the
business. We like better the plan proposed
for the celebration of independence in
Mexico three years hence, which is to in
stitute public improvements In every State
of the republic. The results of such a
commemoration will endure.-Boston Tran
script.

T.. A tariff is a tax imposed on goods
imported from another country. A tariff
of some sort has been in operation in the
United States since the establishment OF
the government, though In the early his
tory it was imposed in the form. of a
customs tax for the defraylng Of govern
ment expenses. Tariff for protection or
The imposition of such duties on imported
articles that made 1t impossible for the
foreign producer to compete with. home
products was a later plan. 1t was the
championship of this idea by the Wing
party, which afterward fused with the
Republicans, and the fact that protection
was of most value to those districts in
which Republicanism prevailed, that
caused the Republican party to become
the party of protection. 2. In free trade a
commerce is carried on with other coun-
tries without restrictive duties. 8. "Out

AFTER THE CONVENTIONS.

Events at Trenton yesterday effect a
change in the political situation in
Essex County. Senator Colby and
Sheriff Sommer, speaking for the New
Idea. give their adhesion to the regular
party candidates on the platform
adopted and will support the ticket.
SO far as the New Idea leaders are on.
cerned there will be no Independent
ticket for Assembly in this county, and
there will, therefore, be a square fight
between the two parties.
The right of private Judgment, so
vehemently asserted of late and so
largely exercised, has taken such hold
among voters that party lines this year
will not avail to hold the party vote.
Some Democrats will vote the Repub-
lican ticket as they have lone before,
and some Republicans will vote the
Democratic ticket. The party shibbo-
leth lost its old charm as far back as
1893. 1t wasn't anywhere with
Democrats in 1896 and 1900, and it
hardly appealed to them in 1904. Last
year the Republicans caught the infec-
ton, else there would have been no New
Idea to amount to anything. How will
it be this year?
Political conventions are merely spec
tacular. The two conventions at Tren-
ton this week merely unbottled par
tisan enthusiasm. They were simply
preludes to a campaign which is to de-
eide the political primary in this State
and the campaign means hard work
and effort for both parties. There is
no royal road to party success and the
political events this year are very
mach mixed.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 1907.
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.

There was little doubt left when the
Republican State convention met at
Trenton yesterday that Justice John
Franklin Fort would be the nominee.
The unexpected did not happen, no
lightning change was wrought, and
Justice Fort was made the candidate
by a vote tina made the support for
the two other candidates appear as
mere compliments. The prompt resig-
nation of Justice Fort from the bench
carried out the promise he made when
he signifed his readiness to accept the
party nomination.
Having resigned to the Governor, the
party candidate was free to talk, and
his address of acceptance to the con-
vention. in which he set forth his in
dividual ideas in respect to State policy,
did not entirely harmonic with one
principle of the convention platform,
that of excise regulation. The candi-
Odtt Adu nOl Itdh ZIG phhNlOAAiJ oiN
therefore had not verbally acquiesced
in its propositions. But governors do
not legislate and cannot change or re-
peal laws. When the Republican can
didate goes upon the platform he will
make o more explicit declaration on
the excise question. He will tell the
people exactly what he means by the
doctrine of home rule, whether 1t is
the Essex County Republican kind or
the kin meant by the orthodox local
%optionists, who want home rule for
prohibition and not home rule for regu-
lation of hours. This question in the
large %populous counties is a dominant
one. and II the party candidate means
the home rule demanded by the ESSEX
County Republican convention n by
the Democratic state convention in Its
platform, he i~nterprets the predominant
sentiment of Northern New Jersey
which met such a rebuff in the reso'
lutions committee at Trenton yesterday

AssnuItIng the Umpire.

It will be to the everlasting credit of the
baseball public OF the United States il
that incident Of the game at st. Louis
proves to be the last time an umpire is as
saulted. 1t should teach a lesson to every
spectator. 1t should teach players that
they are possibly melting the riotous
spirits of the crowd when they wrangle
with the umpire over decisions which of
course cannot possibly be reversed. For
1t is to be remembered that the partici-
pants are themselves to a large extent re-
sponsible for the opprobrium in which
umpires are held by the spectators, and
they can go far toward putting the game
securely and definitely upon the basis Of
fair play and clean sport to which it has
been steadily tending for years, if they
will play their parts with some degree of
check upon their tempers and grant that
the umpire is presumably honest in his
work Star.

Mr.. Sherrerd, it is understood, helped
to draft the bill and helped to pass it,
and he went before the Governor and
asked him to sign it. The law is no.
toriously in the interest of the East
Jersey Water Company and it has
other dangerous features that threaten
the welfare of the State, but it is
enough to know that a law for the con-
fscation of one-half of the contract
water supply of the city of Newark
was passed by the advice and conni-
vance and with the consent Of city
officials.

our ooNT1scATEp WAIVER SUPPLY.

In the opinion Of Mr., Joseph Coult,
IL the Potable Water Commission act is
good law, Newark has no right in the
Pequannock watershed, which it has
acquired by its enterprise at such great
cost. BY that law the city is restricted
to $4,000, 900 gallons daily, although
under the contract it is entitled to
0,00O, 900 gallons, the full capacity of
its pipe line. Under the new law the city
is compelled to purchase all water by
the gallon from the State over and
above So, OOO,O 900 gallons, although the
city has bought and paid for the ex-
cess.
In effect the State, in this new law,
steps in M confiscates one-half of
Newark's water plant property. If the
State has the right to do that it pos
sesses the right to confiscate the 49,
900, 900 gallons of water now in use and
to compel the city to buy it over again,
AS Mr.. coult well says. the new law
practically shuts us GU of city prop
erty in the watershed.
That law would not have zone on the
statute book if the Board Of Works

rhe Attempt to plscredlt rort.

The wild and whirling attempt of some
chronic "klckers'' to discredit one of the
foremost justices of the Supreme Court Of
New Jersey seems to be meeting with an
early fall frost of the killing type. A re-
quest for copies of certain papers which
were presented to the Supreme Court more
than twenty years ago asking for his dis
barment from practise has been refused
by the clerk of the court. with the APP
prevail Of the encouragement, on the
ground that the papers in question are not
public records. The fact seems to be that
those papers were inspired by personal
spite or some such motive and had no
good foundation, and were regarded by
the Supreme Court as unworthy of answer
or OF any action. If no more formidable
ammunition than that can be brought to
bear against him, Justice Forts record
may we'll be regarded. as indeed 1t has al
ways been regarded. as impregnable.-New

James f. MARITIME naturally feels disappointed at his failure
to capture the Democratic nomination for Governor. Many of
the sturdy old chaps admirers are firmly convinced that he
would have succeeded had the political bosses kept their hands
off. Nevertheless, Mr.. MARITIME announces that he is for Katzen-
bach, will do all in his power for him, and is just as enthusi-
astic as if he (Martne) were the nominee himself. And
then he adds:
"As for the interests that accomplished my defeat, 1 am
proud that they hate me so much.
Every man, woman and child who knows that I have and
will denounce the Public Service Corporation, the Prudential, and
the Pennsylvania Railroad for their arrogance and for their bane-
full influence on the political welfare of New Jersey. l would
not surrender one iota of my principles for all the honprs
on earth"
If Mr.. MARITIME wants the Democratic masses to believe that,
of what use will it be for him to ask them to vote for
Katzenbach?
