JUDGE FORT STANDS ON THE PARTY
PLATFORM.

EuDIlC lnL6TGSL I'LL over the 0laAG AAit
the gubernatorial nominations were
made has looked forward to the decla-
rations by the two party candidates de-
fning their positions on the one mooted
question of excise regulation. On other
important questions the two party or
CARNATIONS agree in principle il not in
detail. and therefore the interest in
these questions is subordinate TO that
which is felt in the question of the
excise.
If the two party platform planks
mean anything, the Republican plank
means Endorsement of the Bishops
act and the Democratic plank means a
law giving to municipalities the option
as to excise regulation, which would
mean a modification or repeal of that
act. But while these are the general
Interpretations of the carefully worded
party platforms, the public interest has
turned to the two party candidates for
their individual views A Governor has
a certain influence In Legislation, and he
has, moreover. the power Of veto.
Mr.. Katzenbach, the Democratic can
didate. who spoke in Jersey City last
night, made no reference to the excise
question. He had made no engagement
to do so. Judge Fort, the Republican
candidate. in fulsflment of a promise,
Included in his speech in Newark last
night In explanation of his position on
this question. In the Introductory to
his remarks Judge Fort made the an
nouncement that he stood souarely on
every plank Of his party platform.
That declaration prepared his large and
closely attentive audience for what he
said in the body of his, address.
III To take the sense of Judge Forts ex-
Iianation, divested of comment, the
statement is this; That the real, the
vital, question relates to the strict en-
forcement OF the law as it relates TO
sunday observance: h the question
Of modifying or repeating the law in
his respect belongs to the Legislature;
maj IT Is for the people to say whether
there should be any such change in the
law: that their wishes are to be ex-
nressed by electing a Legislature to
modifv or repeal the Bishops act;
that ,Judae Fort would as Governor en-
deavor to comply with the popular will,
with the reservation, however, to
ssatand for what my judgmenttand con-
science dictate to beright."

The revelations about Lemuel Ely Ouige, formerly Editor
and Congressman, do not surprise persons who know anything
about him. He is clever, abnormally Connected and not over
much bothered with scuples. AT one time he was an editorial
writer on the New York Tribune" Then he became Editor
of the Press Incidentally he made a picturesque campaign
for Congress and astonshed folks by being elected.
Quigg is a first rate speech-maker and his Judgment as to
what will hit the public fancy is rarely at fault. AS the head

Readers OF the addresses made this week by President Roose-
welt have had their memories refreshed as to what the President
stands for. He is not against wealth nor against corporations,
nor has he aught but contempt for the demagogues who would
create envy and hatred for individuals or corporations enjoying
honestly acquired prosperity. His invectve and denunciation are
for those who have gained wealth and power by lawlessness and
who would seek to paralyze reform on the specious plea that it
may injure trade and commerce. He has been implored and
beseeched to desst-to stop all housecleaning efforts in order to
avert a panic, but these appeals have been vain. All law
breakers look alike to him-the politician who takes the bride
and the business man who gives it.
Strange it is that among honest men there should be even
the possibility of a difference of opinion as to the wisdom and
pa triohsm of President Roosevelts policies. Naturally we expect
crooks of all degrees to be hostile.

If the Lawmakers are wise they will follow the advice of
Governor Stokes and enact NOW the Legislation promised in the
political platforms. The professional politician is narrow and is
never noted for foresight. He never knows what is coming, to
be to lie low until after Election Day, simply feeding the voters
on hopes But the Governor is shrewd enough to know better.
He keeps his ear close to the ground. watches the newspapers
carefully, and CLEANS information from all possible sources. He
knows that the public won't be satisfied with words while all
the machinery for turning them into deeds is close at hand.

1t is hardly likely that Mae Woods suit against Senator
Plat will ever come to trial. She has been bounding the old
man at a terrific rate. According to the gossip in inside circles
in New York the Senator has already paid her $4,000. That
was at the time that Mrs. Janeway persuaded the Senator
into marrying her. Mae had received a hint of what was de-
velopng and hurried to New York, only to find that she was
too late. But the story is that Plat, through his friend George
w. Dunn, paid $4,000 to the woman, and that she gave him
a release.
If the case SHOULD ever be tried and the presiding judge
permitted the latitude usual in New York courts. the testimony
would be han-rasing. Plat is not. entitled to any sympathy,
but for the sake of the public morals it would be we'll to have
the story suppressed.

1t was months ago when Governor

against licensed gambling in New Mex

their heads and said that the govern

the territory was not vet ready for
this step toward higher civilization.
The pcople had not bcen heard from.
Apparently they needed only a leader
to come out in the oDcn with their
protest against gambling. The GOV

response from the people which has
by this time found its way into every
town and village in the territory
where gambling flourishes. 1T has
been an almost unanimous burst OF
popular approval and there has been
most convincing evidence OF a tremen-
dous wave of popular support.

EUREKA is HANDICAPPED
BY LACK OF FACILITIES

George Hagaman, who for the last
six years has been contractor for the
stage route between Ely and Eure-
ka, is in Ely for few days on bus
mess. He says that Eureka is seri-
ously handicapped by the inability
of the Eureka and Palisade railroad
to handle the ore that could be pro-
duced by the mines of the district.
The Eureka Consolidated alone
could produce enough ore to keep the
road busy, he says. Shipments ag-
gregating 800 tons per day are be-
ing made by that road. and the COM
pany is eager to ship 1000 tons per
day if the road could handle that
amount
