WHAT THE GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY IS.

rhcre vas much amusement created mong wen-inforned people in the
Se State last year when rc1d Mr. Nason, the Prohlbtlonht c7nuN'e
rNs for Governor, went about procamlng what he would do if elected GOV
emo. MI. Mason would ave certain good laws passed. and he would aso
sAs lnten prohibit the enactnent of laws that did lot meet his approval ad
Ae more TO that effect In his simplicity the Rev Mr.. Mason. meant all he
S said. IN he didn't know that if elected Governor lie could neither force a
ki bn through the Legislature nor prevent thu enactment oil a bill into a law
sp He had never read the state Constitution, was really ignorant of the char
4 aer Of tho State government and mad no conception of the ~eal powers
49, ar duties of the Governor
But the PombiHonst candidate for Governor in 1907 is lot alone among
u his clerical brethren in his innocence If constitutional knowledge as Governor
III. Fort hasb been surprised to learn. THERE'S Isl fixed idea among these eergymen
y who have been demanding local prohibition that. the Governor is really the
~ whole thing in state government and tho Legislature a mere instrument of his
@ sovereign will. They seem to think too, that that is just right and is the
aF ideal kind Of government for a State as long as the Governor shares their
.~ views nc executcs their will The existence of an organic law which defines
sand limits thep powers and praogauves Of the Governor appearsto be entirely
unknown to thesep political puists.
a 1t would seem, though. that if they read the current news with any
~ attention they would get SOM gnnm erng of the ruth in respect to the
p@e Governor and the Legis e. Governor Fort has mad important and
$50 earnest recommendations 10 the Legislature That body did not translate
them az orders. n has paid little enough attention to them A specially
~s urged measure. the primary bill has been killed. an another, the civil service
bill, has been "sandbaggcd" A Governor with thu absolute power at
Constitution would do what Governor Fort has been angry urged to do
rnske the laws himself He might even send the State Legislature to State
er prison for contunnacy. But what shall a Governor do who really has no
s power at all in legislation and whose veo amounts to nothing against
bare maiontes in tc Legislature? What shall he do when the Legislature
NJ goes about its business and let's him beat the air with messages n protests?
@ Some study of the State Constitution, as well as of the principles upon which
Ns our State government vas founded, would be enIghtening to many good peo-
u. pie with cxtrayagant notions OF what a Governor IF New Jersey is.

re NEW Isolation HOSPITAL.

Essex County now has at Soho an isolation hospital which has cost sAo-
900, and it takes its permanent place among the county institutions This
hospital is the final development of a n idea that "a conceived by Presi-
dent Herod of the Newark Board of Health, which was the establishment
Of a contagious and infectious disease hospital and disinfechng plant for
the city of Newark. The board received the necessary authority to act and
then raj up against a succession of legal snags that compelled abandonment
of the project. But the idea lived and terminated in the plan for the
county hospital which has 10Y been accepted by the Board of Freeholders.
This Is the first institution of this character in New Jersey. 1t is perhaps
fortunate for Newark that circumstances prevented the city from edab-
fishing a municipal hospital Diseases are no respechrs of territorial boun-
public reasons We could not afford 10 refuse admission to patients from the
rest Of the county. AS it now is the hospital will be for tho whole county,
