Ex-sxEAToH JAMES NJ. SMITH Is now in
control Of the Newark Star, and that pa
per thus gives expression on the subject
Of the National ticket: Compared with
the public interest in New Jersey In the
Republican candidates for President and
Vice President, there Ii surprising lack
Of interest manifested In the Democratic
presidential candidates, except among the
Democratic party leaders. Efforts have
been made to- stir up interest and bring
out the sentiment of the voting masses,
but they singularly failed In effect. 1t Is
evident that the Democratic voters Of the
state are either reserving their preference
OF are disposed to accept the choice OF the
party convention, whoever that may be.
This apparent indifference Is reflected In
the Democratic newspapers of the state,
which deyote much Of their space to dis
cussing the Republican candidates.

TEMPERANCE is good thing, but 1t 10
as useful in speech as In anything else.
This does not appear to be the idea of DR..
Burk, who is agitating the local option
question In this state. If he Is cor
rectly reported he has, speaking for the
anti saloon league. said: I'VE are deter
mined that the members of the Legislature
from this section shall be induced to vote
for the local option bill. What we are
working the hardest for and around which
the fight will centre, are the votes of As
semblymen Lewis and Trick . :" and 1t
they cannot be obtained by the plan we
have mapped out, other methods will
have to be adopted" This il putting it
rather strong and the Assemblymen may
have something to say on the subject.
They are willing to listen to argu-
ment on any question and on that OF
local option particularly but the advocates
of that measure must not assume dictator
ial attitude or they may strike snag.
The Assemblymen will listen to their con-
stituents and act as the majority desires,
but it is very doubtful If they will allow
imported agents to come in and tell them
what they must do. Local option is
worthy of consideration and it will be
given the attention it deserves but there
must be educational methods used. not
bulldozing.

BEFORE public utilities bill is settled
upon by the lawmakers of this state there
will be any amount of argument on the
several acts that are now being considerd.
Whatever plans may be adopted the
powers bestowed upon the commissioners
should not be restricted. There should
be clause in the law by which prompt
and decisive action could be taken by
those chosen to carry out the provisions
of the law. For instance there ought to
be some one with authority to say that
one road In the state should not be allowed
to limit the time in which excursion
tickets may be used on one branch, while
on another branch it allows unlimited SER
vice. There does not seem to be any good
reason why a railroad company should
sell ticket good for use by one person
only and at the same time few imilei
further down the road issue similar
ticket on which all the members OF 9
family and some of another may ride Il
they SO desire. There are many little
points that can be looked into with benehi
to the public, and the utilities commission
should have power to remedy such con
ditions in q summary and effective
manner.
