THE REPUBLICAN, FIGHT IN ESSEX.

If the Republican organizaton nd New Idea faction lock horns in Essex In
the primary election campaign this summer. outside Republican interests ire
likely tt be drawn intot the fight Senator Colby promises a hot campaign, with
features. His supporters will appeal to every influence m interest
that can be lugged into the fight, an. there is already a declared purpose to- III
possible, enlist the Governor in Colbys behalf That will give piquancy to the
campaign. The organization is in much better shpe than it vas threey years
ago, when Senator Colby made his midsummer campaign, and its leaders have
made wise by that experience. The selection of Judge Raymond as a can
didate is evidence Three years ago the organization didn't have a candidate,
which was a tactical bIunder as the sequel showed. Whether Judge Raymond
will comply with senator Colbys desire for Joint debates in the campaign
naturally depends IN his Judgment as to the amount of interest HI debates
would lend to Senator coibys canvass The challenge for debate usually pro-
from h weaker party.

Conditional upon permission for the railroad companies to close the bridges
across h Pa@nic and Hackensack between and . a m and from A to p m.
h Central Railroad Company will make certain Improvements desired by the
company itself Among the improvements will be the elevation of the tracks
cross the W rivers to permit COY an tugs ito pass There is no doubt that
the hspiness of the railroad would be facilitated by he closing of the bridges
during the hours O busiest traffic, but river navigation has its claims. to
Closed bridges mean INSTRUCTED navigation. which also means delay and hncon-
venence and losto shippers o tho waterway. If the Passaic were IN artificial
channel like the Morris and Rartan canals the railroads could dispose of its
competition by simply buying or leasing 1t, as he railroads ave done with arti-
fetal waterways everywhere; but 1t isn't possible to comrol a natural water
course that is under he jurisdiction of the Federalg government. and thus far
the attempt to secure a partial control by closing the bridge draws las lot sue
rs In secretary mas the a OF such Matters it will be we'll or he Newark
Board Of Trade and Newark shipping interests to make sure that no change
shall be effected in the policy declared by Secretary Taft.

of a prominent citizen of Lang

Langley and Warrenville. The
coroner went to the scene of the
accident this afternoon. 1t seems
that young Dean slipped off or
ran away from school and got on
the Augusta-Aiken express car.
1t is supposed that he either fell
off or was shaken off, falling on
the track and was then run over
by the car.

Supreme Court. The records
will no, doubt show that very few
new trials have been granted in
homicide cases without full war
rant of law. There have
certainly been no such trials
granted in order to "secure an
acquittal." The Press and Ban
ner is also in error as to the mat
ter of bail. In granting bail,
the judges again follow the law
of the State. If too much dis
cretion has been given them, the
fault is chargeable to the law
making power, and not to the
judges.

Justice for the Cotton Grow
er Asked--NeW York Cot
ton Exchange and Bucket
Shops Denounced.

Washington, March 19-In
the course of discussion of the
cotton industry Mr.. Heflin, Of
Alabama, in the House of Rep
resentatives to day, referred to
the falling off of the trade in
that staple. He declared that
the South was not only the great
est region in the world for cot
ton, but had demonstrated that
there WAS no other place in the
world where cotton could be
manufactured so cheaply and
profitably. And yet, he said,
England, China and Japan were
getting most of the trade in cot.
ton goods. If the United States
wanted fair share of that trade
it must 60 after it.
He pleaded that the cotton
producers should be put upon
the same basis as any manufact
urer or mercantile business. The
one obstacle that stood in the
way of buying and selling cotton
in the open, he declared, was
the New York cotton exchange,
which was the "rottenest on
earth," and the various "bucket
shops" He called upon Con.
gress to act, "and not be deciev.
ed by a suggestion from the
White House that at some time
in the pale distant future a COM
mission may be appointed to
look into the speculators' hands" :"
The producers, he asserted,
"have suffered the horrors that
come from the gamble exchange
year after year." There was, be
said, an army of producers in the
