You Couldn't Disconcert Him.

Two young ladies on the promenade of a
seaside resort had been watching the YES

an ancient mariner" On handing the
glass back ono of them remarked that II
was a very good one.

Oh, no, there wasn't anything wrong in Hudson. The mere
fact that at midnight of Election Day Mr.. Hudspeth was posi-
tive that Katzenbach had carried the county by NOT less than
10000 doesn't amount to anything. Neither is it of any con-
sequence that Hudson. the stronghold of Democracy-the county
which really nominated Katzenbach-was the county in which
he ran behind his ticket. That Seymour, six years ago, had
over 1000 plurality more in Hudson than Katzenbach got this
year is, of course, hardly worth considering, although it was
known that Seymour had no chance of election, and the popu-
lation and voting lists have grown considerably since then.
These things are mere misunderstanding more. For the
first time in twelve years the loyal Democrats of Hudson County
had an opportunity to elect a Democratic Governor, nominated
by themselves, and he a behind his ticket-but of course that
wasn't their fault

The Democratic leaders have run away from their own
suggestion of IN election investigation. As a matter of fact
many of the leaders in both parties felt very uneasy over the
prospect of a thorough inquiry. A joint committee consisting of
Senators Colby, Hutchinson and Hinchlife, and Assemblymen
ITumulty, Hahn and Fake, might turn up enough facts to make
some of the professional politicians keep near the State border
for a while.

Colonel Dickinson, the Republican leader in Hudson, is said
to be in high favor with the Governor-elect and his friends, it
being their belief that by his work in Hudson the fight was
won for Fort. 1t is said that he will become a leading figure
in the Fort Observation-Disclosures York Times.
And why not? The Colonel knows how to deliver the
goods, he is not an migrate and he knows how to appreciate
gratitude in Others. 1t would be rank injustice to attempt to
push him into the background now, and the Colonel is too much

Essex had last year an Independent Citizens ticket which
polled e,72o votes, and at least twothrds of these were Repub-
1icans who returned to the fold this year. Essex had, therefore,
last year an actual Republican plurality of not less than 1000.

Study those figures carefully and you'll zee at a glance the
.wanton cruelty of charging either treachery or fraud against the
pure sou1ed Democratic leaders of Hudson County. oh, they
didn't do anything. 1t was the wicked fellows elsewhere.
We hear it often said that figures won't lie, but in this
case they must be lying, or worse. Why? Because if we
believed them we might begin to doubt Hudson's innocence.
We might be tempted to ask why the Republican pluralities
had been s1ashed right and left elsewhere, whereas in Hudson
the Democratic plurality had SLUMPED ELEVEN THOUSAND
VOTES. Think of it! Eleven thousand Democratic votes lost,
stolen or strayed. Who's got 'emf Where did they wander

The Newark Referendum.

A non-political feature of the recent cleo
ton in New Jersey Of more than passing
interest was the operation of the referen-
dun system in the city of Newark. Four
widely different questions, all of much I'M
%portance. were presented to the electorate
for determination. They were not pressed as
urgently on either side as were the claims
of the various candidates for office. and,
indeed, were largely ignored In the great
HOOD of political discussion. There We're
those who expected, therefore, that only
a small vote would be cast on any one of
them. As a matter of fact, however,
from so to 65 per cent. of the voters took
pains to Indicate their wishes concerning
these matters. and they did so, moreover,
In a manner which Indicated that their
use of the referendum was thoughtfully
exercised. 1t was an intelligent employ
ment of the system on a more general
scale than has often been recorded.
The casting of so large a vote on such
questions as these was a gratifying indi-
cation Of intelligent popular interest in
public affairs, and the way in which the
questions were decided shows that Newark
aspires to be a thoroughly up-to-date city.
Whether there will In consequence of this
successful use of 1t be any wider and more
general extension of the referendum sys-
tenn may, however, be doubted. It's ocea-
sionai success is due largely to the COM
parative ~infrequency OF resort to it, and
sound Judgment will probably dictate that
it shall continue to be used sparingly.-

Nothing in Tuesdays elections was more
gratifying than the great Republican We
tory In Kentucky. That State has been IN
a condition of turmoil for some years. NC
Kinley carried the State in 1896, a Repup-
lican Governor was elected in 1899 and was
cheated out of his office. Then began a
career of political villainy which has no
parallel in modern history. h Demo-
Gratis in the Legislature voted an enormous
fund to hang all the Republicans who had
secured Republican success. Their ground
was that Goebel was murdered by a set OF
Republican conspirators, composing all the
Republican leaders. Governor Taylor left
the State. and Indiana has refused extra
dition. because, with no evidence against
him. it was evident that the Kentucky
Democrats had no other purpose than to
judicially murder him.
Caleb Powers has lain In jail for almost
eight years, has thrice been through the
farce of a trial, which not even Demo-
cratic courts of appeal could uphold. 1t Il
certain that he will now be set free and
that the Beckham ring will be overthrown

RECORD A GOOD ONE
March Showed Up Well in
This Regard.
TOTAL CLOSE TO $4,000.

During the month of March there
were II building permits issued by City
Controller Webster Parry. This is
quite a good showing. as March in
past years has generally been dull
month for building. However the
past month was a particularly open
one and builders began work early.
The records in the city controllers of
flee show that the value of improve
ments authorized during March
amounts to S3S525. The biggest i'm
provement authorized during the
month was the building of factory
building by the Wayne works. the esti-

building being placed at $4,000. The

BALLS FIRST OFFENSE.
RESIDENT OF OHIO GREATLY DIS
TRESSED BECAUSE HE WAS
CONNECTED WITH THE CASE,
MERELY BY CHANCE.

John Minnix, Mary Minnix, Rosetta
LutZ and A. r. Ball were fined in the
city court So and costs for intoxica-
ton. Ball plead guilty but the other
three entered pleas of not guilty. Il
am not a lady what drinks" stated
Mrs. Lutz, who is a sister of Mrs. Min
nix. She was very indignant and ev-
cry time she was asked if she wanted
to question the witnesses testifying
against her she would say mo- in a
loud voice.
Mrs. Minnix, mother of John Min
nix, is quite deaf She stated to the
court that she was not drunk Satur-
day afternoon and what was more,
had never tasted a drop of liquor in
her life. She said that she did not
approve of booze.
Both women stated that Saturday
afternoon they went up town to shop
and attend the matinee. They chanc-
ed to meet Ball at the corner of Sixth
and Main street. While they were
standing there merely talking the wo-
men stated. three officers swooped
down on them and took them to jail.
Mrs Minnix said that her son was not
drunk and he substantiated her state
ment.
Balls First Offense.
Ball stated that he had never been
in trouble before in his life and that
he was not responsible for the conduct
of the others He hoped the court
would be very lenient with him, he
said Prosecutor Jessup asked Ball
if he were not trustee of the Chris
tan church at Campbellstown, o. Ball
stated that he is not trustee but did
not deny he is a church officer and
took active interest in church affairs
in his native hamlet. The man was
a picture of distress.
One of the strangest features in the
peculiar case is the fact that Mrs
Minnix is known to be a prominent
Temperance worker. For some time
Mrs Minnix has lived in the north end
of town and officer Bundy stated that
she is what is known as temperance
crusader" having frequently visited
bar rooms where she would hold SER
vices and plead with her audiences to
leave drink alone.
