sew are requested to join in the election

the city of Trenton, on Tuesday, May
5uh, 1908, at IL O'Clock noon, for the
purpose of selecting four delegates-at-

the Republican National Convention,
which will assemble at Chicago, June
10Th, next, for the nomination OF can
didates for president and vice-presi-
dent, to be supported at the next gen.
eral election.

gates from each county will be- appor-
TONED among the several subdivisions

each ward and township may be rep

The number of delegates to which
Morris county is entitled under this
call is AZ with % votes.

THE people along the sea shore are
optimistic in regard to the prospect of
business for the coming summer, and
are making every possible preparation
for it not only in setting their houses
in order but also in making the fact
known. We have received the Easter
edition of the Long Branch Record,
containing from fifty to sixty pages Of
matter, much of it advertisements of
local institutions. The Sunday Shore
Press, also an Easter edition, contains
sixty-four pages of matter, forty of
which are advertisements. The spirit
of enterprise is sure to bring results.

CIVIL SERVICE is an accomplished
fact in New Jersey, a bill to that eff
feet having passed the Legislature and
been signed by the Governor. 1t pro-
vides for four commissioners, at So, 900
each per year, to be appointed by the
governor, the senate concurring. for a
secretary at $4,000 per year, holding
office at the pleasure of the commits
sion, and for chief examiner at So, 900
per year, also holding office at the
pleasure of the commission. The bill
becomes effective Immediately, but
does not affect state Office holders for
six months. The commission, accord
ing to the preamble to the bill, is sup
posed to be bipartisan, but the bill it
self contains nothing that makes that
mandatory. In first and Second-class
cities and counties the common coun-
Gil or board of freeholders may by Or
dinance adopt the provisions of the
law, or 500 voters may petition those
bodies, thus requiring them TO put the
question of adoption or rejection on
the ballots used at the next general
election. If the aldermen or freehold
ers by ordinance or the people by ma
jority vote to adopt the law, it shall
become effective in so far as protecting
officeholders is concerned forty-five
days after election. This explains how
the law may be put into effect.
But what the politicians and office
holders are trying to figure out, whom
does it affect even if the law is adopt
ed in the manner SET forth? This is
made difficult question by reason OF
the number of exemptions, namely:
All officers elected by popular vote,
appointed by the governor, chancellor
OrSupreme court; appointed by either
or both branches of the legislature; all
election officers; all heads of state de-
partmentS, commissions and boards,
all appointments of mayors, members
of commissions and boards elected by
the governing body of the municipal
tiles; all law officers and persons in the
militia; all superlntendentS of munich
pality teachers and instructors in
the public schools and state insti-
buttons, county superintendents and
members of all boards of educa
tion, all police magistrates ap.
pointed by the mayor or other
head officer Of any municipality; dep.
uty or first assistant of principal execu.
tive officers; legal assistants of state
and municipal law departments and OF
prosecuting attorneys to the number
actually engaged in trial or appeal
work and appearing in the courts; one
secretary or clerk of each department
board and commission authorized by
law to appoint a secretary or clerk; one
private secretary or clerk, or steno-
grapher, of each principal executive
office; all officials of state and county
institutions who must of necessity be
physicians.

MRS. Russell SAGE has given quar-
ter of a million of dollars to be used
for the erection of dormitory for the
students of Princeton university. Folk
of wealth have been mighty generous
to the educational institutions in this
country during the last twenty years.
The educational opportunities of to-
day are such as to make it possible for
any young man, who has the energy
to back his desire, to get training at
the minimum of expense. The poor
boy has just as much of chance for
an education as the rich boy. There
is no doubt on this score.

For goodness sake /! 1t is proposed
to classify bridge whist as common
gambling and prohibit the game by
law Now, this is too bad. 1t is all
right to suppress the faro banks, the
poolrooms and the race track gam
bling, but for the government to stop
bridge is an outrage and d violation
of the personal liberty of the people
of this enlightened republic Wager
ing on the result of game of whist or
playing the wall street ponies is re-
spectacle and commendable, while
other forms of games of chance are
disreputable and wicked, and what
reason there is for interfering with
such innocent pasUimes is more than

EFFORTS of some members of the
Board of Freeholders of Mercer coun-
ty to inaugurate an examination of
the books of former County Clerks
Barker Gummere and @. Harry Baker
was the subject of an opinion by Soil
citor Huston Dixon. This opinion
holds that the board has no legal
power to examine the books. Mr..
Dixon holds that the Board of Free
holders is corporate body and has no
more right. to demand the books of
the County Clerk than it has to de-
mand the books Of an officer of the
State that the County Clerk is elect
ed by the people and the board has no
jurisdiction over him and that under
the law providing for the fee system
the clerk need not keep books unless
he so chooses.

OF all the things pledged" by the
reformers in the legislature the civil
service bill is about the only one that
appears to have gone through. The
Prohibition element was knocked out
by the defeat of the local option bill
and the two excise bills charged to
the administration. One little ex-
else bill did get through during the
confusion and that affects only beer
bottlers, who henceforth will have to
pay 800 license fee to every city, town,
hamlet or township where they sell
bottled beer. Not only we're the coun-
ty boards of taxation not knocked out,
but the Governor has made appoint
ments to fill the vacancies on these
boards, the usefulness OF which was
such that their continuance for an
other year or so was imperative. The
public utilities proposition was de-
feated through the obStinacy of Lead
er Martin, who wanted "all or moth
ing" He refused to accept bill that
could have been passed, and the result
was that he defeated the entire propo-
sition. He stood out for . rate maxi
ing, " claiming that it was a party
pledge, while as a fact there was no
plank to that effect in the Republican
platform. A lot of schemes for the
creation of new and expensive and ut
terly unnecessary commissions were
lost. and the departments of corpora
tions and of accounts went by the
board

The political column Of the jersey
City Journal" gives the following
program "The New Idea program
stretches out in rosy perspective to
INCLUDE the election Of a Governor
three years hence. The plan is to run
either Colby. Martin or Sommer. Just
now Martin is the favorite, because,
it is urged, he is a fighter who has no
dread of licking and who doesn't
know what it means to surrender or
quit. Martin is in higher feather
than ever with his followers because
of the intelligent and relentless fight
he carried on all winter as Republican
leader on the floor of the House of As
sembly. Martin, said a high-up
New Idea man recently, played hob
with the Republican machine at Tren-
ton He split the organization in twain
and left it broken and disorganized.
He succeeded in capturing nine of the
eleven Essex aSsemblymen, and with
few insignificant exceptions, no bill
which he opposed got through the
House. Not only that, but his adroit
leadership arrayed the machine Re-
publicans against Gov. Fort and left
wounds which may never be healed
Why, even Speaker Jess was wrenched
away from Dayy Baird, the man who
had made him politically, and planted
squarely in the Fort band wagon. An
other organization Assemblyman who
was wrenched away from the machine
was Buxton, of Morris, who midway
in the session replaced Moxon of Union
as machine spokesman, but who for
sock the organization and went over
to Fort, as did Jess, on the final vote
for the civil service bill last week. "
This reads well but those familiar
with the situation thinks that the
Journal" man has several thinks
coming.

sons in the Trenton and Morristown
insane hospitals. What brings them
there? 1t is the pace now going on in
