EXPECT MURPHY TO WIN FIGHT

IA. N. Dairy mple Says National Leaders
Favor Jersey Man foryice-President
Governor Hughes's announcement
that under no circumstances would he
accept the Republican nomination for
Vice President has caused good 6eal
of jubilation among the friends Of ex-
Governor Murphy. 1t is now believed
that the nomination Of Secretary Taft
for President is almost certain and
that the convention will have to come
to the East for the second place on the
ticket, and with the New York Cover
nor out of the race, the chances of New
Jersey securing the place for Mr.. Muir
ply are exceeding bright An ener-
getic campaign in his behalf will now
be begun.
Alfred N. Dalrymple, chairman of
the Essex County Republican Commit
tee, who has just returned from Wash
ington, said Wednesday,:
Franklin Murphy will be the next
e-President of the United States.
While in Washington l talked with
most of the Republican leaders and
each one assured me that Mr.. Murphy's
record as a Republican and member
Of the national committee made his
chances of obtaining the nomination
very strong"

IT was no surprise to those conver-
SAINT with building and loan methods
that the State Mutual Association
could not live up to its promises. Its
methods were such that it was only a
question of time when it would be
forced to suspend. Justice James b.
Dill, in the Court of Errors and APP
peals, filed decision on Monday in
which the officers and directors of the
State Mutual Building and Loan AS
sociation of New Jersey, including
some politicians of more or less note
in the State, are vigorously denounced
for malfeasance in office. Dennis Ryan
appealed to the court from an order of
Chancellor Leaning, who refused
to appoint a receiver for the insolvent
association but permitted trustees
selected by the shareholders at the in
stance of the offending directors to
undertake to wind up its affairs. The
Court of Errors reversed the vice
chancellor's decision last week, but
the opinion was not filed until Mon
day. Judge Dill holds that the act I'M
der which the trustees we're appointed
is not applicable to insolvant building
and loan associations, but is intended
only to permit the winding up of the
affairs of solvent corporations where
the creditors are not involved,

Organ Reciral at First Pre-

Organ Recital at First Pres. Church.
Under the auspices of the American
Guild of Organists, the twenty-fifth
recital of the series of organ concerts
was given by Mrs. Kate Elizabeth
Fox, member of the Guild, on the
organ of the First Presbyterian Church
of this city, on Wednesday evening
last.
The program was brilliant in every
respect, and especially noticeable in
numbers rarely performed in concerts
of this nature on account of the ire
mendous amount of practice required
to prepare these works, particularly
the big G. Minor Fugue by Bach and
the Toccato of Crawford's.
The most flattering comments have
been made by the members of the
Guild on her performance of the
Theme and Variations by Thiele, this
number being one of the most difficult
on the program and exceptionally we'll
played.
Mrs. Fox now ranks among the first
in her profession.
Master Everett Maclachlan, soprano
soloist of st. Thomas Church, New
York, and Hans Kronold, cellist, added
much to the pleasure of the concert.

THE appropriationof sixty-fye thous-
and dollars by the board of freeholders
for road repairs in Morris county for
the fiscal year is a large sum, but will
be found inadequate to put the roads
in proper condition and when it is ex-
pended the roads will soon be in bad
condition again. In recent tests gov
ernment experts found that while the
passage of iron tired vehicles over ma
cadam roads improved their quality,
the swift passing of rubber-tired auto
mobiles injured them. AS it is now,
it will be observed that where the
roads are worn down to the telford
with apparently no dirt covering, the
autos raise a cloud of dust, and in
some roads there are deep ruts. Re-
pairing will help matters temporarily,
but some method of binding the dirt
and stones together will have to be de-
vised if permanent results are hoped
for. With this end il view we would
call the attention of road builders to
the report Of the committee of the
Civic Association found in this issue.

THE last Of the State and district
conventions to choose delegates to
Chicago will be held this week. Mr..
Taft is still in the lead for the Presi-
Dental nomination, and with indica-
tions that he will be selected on the
first ballot, unless, as some of his
friends fear, there is stamrede to
Roosevelt. The Taft managers claim,
according to some authorities, to have
5S2 votes. The total number of dele
gates in the Republican National Con
yention will be $50, making 491 neces-
sary to a choice. The estimate of 52S
votes for Taft includes twelve from
New Jersey, and gives the other twelve
to Roosevelt, statement that casts
doubt on the accuracy of the estimate.
This means that Taft will have pledged
to him in the convention not less than
ninety-one delegates more than the
required majority of 49l.

upon it, the leaders insist that Mon

ANOTHER stride in the direction of
legitimate prohibition has just been
made. The Henry c. Frick Coke
Company, a subsidiary of the United
States Steel Corporation, has issued a
new rule forbidding employees to drink
Intoxicating liquors. Some anti-saloon
leaguers will regret this move, because,
in their opinion, it will delay the COM
ing of governmental prohibition in
the affected regions. Other less radi-
cal foes of rum, however, will rejoice
to learn that workingman's drink
ing habits are thus made to measure
his opportunity of employment. No
more forcible lesson in temperance
and no less Objectionable one could be
taught. 1t can do more good in a
week than Carrie Nation can in life

AS TO SOCIALISM.

In view of the discussion of Socialism
the Newark " News" makes some sug-
gestions to enable those who would
take up and talk upon the subject to
do so intelligently from which we
quote
Let the student begin with care
full study of Marx or Bebel or Bern
stein or John Spargo and lay founda-
tion. On top of this it would be well
to rear more modern structure with
the help of "The International So
cialist" or some other similar publica-
tion dealing with modern phases of
the movement. From this point he
may well pass on to analyze the rela
tion between the Labor, Socialist and
Anarchist movements, giving due heed
to the various branches of all these
organizations and noting carefully the
attitude of each one toward the Others.
by that time he will be ready to
investigate the demands of the Social
lists in various countries, where gov
ernment ownership prevails, for in
stance, and where it does not; to in
vestigate the attempts at socialstic
experiments, both past and present,
and compare with them the indiyid-
ualism that lies at the bottom Of all
human progress and prosperity. Hay-
ing preceded as far as this it will be
well to turn his attention to the sys-
tenn OF distribution, as it exists and
as it will exist in the future, to study
the markets of his own country and.
the rest of the world, to observe the
currents of trade, interna ional CON-
petitions and foreign occupation of
markets. Then let him investigate
the subject and determine by what in
itiative the foreign trade Of this coun-
try has been built up and how it is
how essential it is to the
very existence of the nation and how
it is for us to enlarge it with
strenuous and determined enterprise.
8 With all this for background let
him require the Socialists to furnish
him with constructive policy, with
well formulated program of proceed
ure that explains the economic and |
financial laws upon which they intend
to build their social order. Let him re-
quire them to furnish their plan for |
raising the money to finance their |
incentive to industry, their program
Of foreign distribution, their means of |
POLITICAL corruption, their
against dissolution and |
their safeguards against foreign inter
When he has acquired all |
lhis data and mastered it, his opinion
will be valuable, and, if by that time
le is convinced that socialism is the
Utopia toward which we should bend
'ur energies, it will be his duty to
preach Socialist propaganda.
Yes, by all means, let each man
laye an intelligent opinion in this
natter, but until that opinion is for
nulated let him remember that it is a
serious thing to upset the entire social
'rder, and he chary about identifying
himself too closely with a movement
le does not fully understand.

A NUMBER of members of the Ma
tional Prosperity Association, recently
organized at st. Louis, called on Presi-
sident Roosevelt and were regaled
with speech made up mainly of the
customary optimistic remarks regard
ing present ana future conditions
The object of the prosperity associa-
tion is to have an end put to all agita-
tion affecting the business interests Of
the country injuriously. The Presi-
dent assumed that his pronunciamen-
toes about political reform had moth
ing to do with the late depression and
stagnation, not yet wholly recovered
from, which he said was due to reck-
less operations in high finance, to ca
lamity and to certain striking il.Stan-
ces of business and civic dishonesty.
Doubtless he is warranted in believing
as he says, but the fact remains that
the verbal assaults and flourish of the
"big stick" struck the honest, timid
interests with a fear for the future
that caused Stagnation, while it helped
the dishonest and daring to enter upon
schemes of reprisal which benefited
them amazingly and brought disaster
upon better people. The President
told his callers that whatever regula-
tory legislation may be had in the fu-
ture would contain no menace to busi-
ness any more than the legislation
that has been enacted. The President
evidently means to keep up the fight
against wrong doing as he sees it, even
II it should prove a menace to business
directly or indirectly as it has in the
past.

PAPER MAKING IN KOREA.

It is not generally known that the
best kinds of paper met with in China
and Japan are the product of Korea.
1t is claimed by many that the Korean
paper excels the very best that is made
in China and Japan. 1t is produced
entirely by manual labor and without
the use of any machinery. The raw
material used for the better kinds is
obtained from the bark of the Prous-
sonetia papyrifera, which is collected
in the spring and beated in water con-
tanning large admixture of wood
ashes until reduced to thick pulp.
This is taken in large ladies and
spread upon frames of bamboo so as
to form thin sheets. Another kind of
paper made from old scraps trodden
into pulp, much in the same way that
grape juice is extracted in some coun
tries, and, though this mode of pulp
ing is slow, it has the advantage of not
breaking the fiber so much as when
machinery is used.
After the pulp has been made into
paper the sheets are piled up to
height of six feet aDd then cut into
pieces, to be again subjected to the
stamping with the feet. Atthe same
time the roots and seeds of plant
called tackpoul are added, the soluble
parts of which are supposed to give
teuacity and toughness to the paper.
