CAMDEN is having another political war
and there promises to be many moves on
the chess board before the end is reached.
Cooper Hatch is the new Sheriff of that
county. That his nomination and election
was made possible by that veteran in
politics, David Baird. is sure; perhaps 1t
was made probable by the gentleman
named. But as soon as the new official is
in his first act is to ignore ''Davy." and
do just what will aggrayate the latter. 1t
Is said that the removal of Willard Nor
gan from the Office of State Comptroller Ia
factor In the present situation, and that
Morgan is now getting his work in.
Opinion Is divided on the matter, many
thinking that Hatch is ungrateful while
others say that Mr.. Baird is getting what
is coming to him for placing so much
faith in the candidate. Hatch does moi
seem to care to have anything to do with
Baird, and In this he is very different from
the Camden leader, for "DaYy" always
sticks to his friends The fight has hard
ly begun yet and 1t will be watched with
interest In all parts of the state. Baird Ii
no novice in politics. and while he may
have the Eheriff's Office and its power tc

Thankse1yine proclamation

1.-THE honor of being citizen Of this great
Republic would of itself be sufficient cause
for annually setting apart, In accordance with
custom. a day for thanksgiving and prayer
But the people Of New Jersey have much
else to be thankful for. Their church rela-
unique situation, their clean government,
their picturesque hills, their unequaHed sea
coast, their efficient municipal governments,
their vast mining, manufacturing and indus
trial interests, and their high average 1ntell1-
gence, all give cause for unbounded gratitude
to the Giver ofali good. Besides all OF this,
our fields have been fertile, our homes happy,
our transportation facilities satisfactory. the
wages of labor fair, and the price OF the pro-
duct of our farms and the output OF our fac
tories remunerative. When to all OF this is
added a splendid civic spirit, which is abroad
in our public life, we can, indeed, be grateful
for the Providence over-ruling 1t all On
every account our lot may truly be said to be
cast In pleasant places.
Therefore. ], John Franklin Fort, Cover
nor of the State OF New Jersey, do designate
Thursday, the 18th day OF November instant
as day to be observed for general thanks
giving and prayer, and upon that day rec
ommend that al business cease. and thai
the people gather in their respective churches
their homes for private, to make fitting &C
acknowledgement to Almighty God OF his un
bounded benefactions to us as nation, state
and individuals.

cutive Chamber, in the city of Trenton, the

WHILE the efforts of the advocates Of
local option did not meet with the success
that was hoped for by those people, yet
the feeling is that some good was accom-
plished even If 1t was nothing more than
getting the subject agitated. 1t will re-
quire good campaign of education be-
fore any perceptible benefit can be accom-
plished. There are many who cannot
separate the question of local option from
that of prohibition. In the meantime the
Bishops law" will still be in force, and
offenders will be looked after by con-
scientious officers. High license is also
being considered. In Bergen county the
licensing judge has given notice that,
beginning with the December tterm Of
court, all fees for license to sell liquor
will be raised, in some instances 100 pei
cent.

WHEN Sheriff Worrell, in talking to the
Board of Freeholders with reference to
the feeding of prisoners, mentioned bill
of fare that was used In another county,
and suggested that the price might be 80
cents per day, there were some who
thought the sum was little high. 1t has
always been commended that prisoners
might be boarded for less than the amount
allowed the Sheriffs for that service. but
the argument has always been based up
on the character of the food that was
given the inmates of the prison. Under
former customs the Sheriffs were allowed
so much per day for each prisoner, but
what ihe could save over the actual cost
was his profit Under the new system
the Sheriff will not have any profit, but
will serve meal that will cost what he
charges the county for, and it may be said
right here that the new official does not
expect to spend anywhere near 30 cents
per day. In connection with this affair
| 1t may as well be taken into consideration
from the start that the Office of Sheriff,
under the salary law, is not going to be a
money-maker for the county. Economy
is desirable and there is not the slightest
doubt that there will not be any unneces-
sary expense or waste of money by Sheriff
Worrell But there Is something else that
is worth considering and is very import
ant and that is the matter of efficient and
prompt service Of the duties Of the Office.
The employment of officers qualified to
properly do the work assigned them, to
watch the many minor details that must
necessarily fall to their lot, to keep the
moral and physical condition of the pris-
on above criticism, all these things must
be given careful attention, and while they
can be carried on economically they must
not be hampered by too rigid retrench-
ment. Fortunately. the new Sheriff has
had considerable experience in the sub
ject of practical economy, and he may be
relied upon to see that extravaganza does
not prevail, at the same time executing
all matters that are presented to him with
the promptness that is their due.

Mr.. BRYAN, 1t Is said, declares that the
world owes him nothing, and that he hal
been abundantly compensated for wha
he has been able to do. He also says that
battle has been lost and that the wal
has but begun.
Are we to understand from this Ian
guage that Mr.. Bryan Is planning to con
troll the next Democratic national csnven
ton as he controlled the one held in Den
~ver few months agof Does his ambition
still run in the direction of the White
Housef
He is right when he says that the world
owes him nothing. 1t owes him no more
than it owes any other human being
brought into it either by accident or
through elaboration. He is here with
the rest of us, especially endowed with
an ability to talk and express his thoughts
but not especially equipped to think
wisely.
Mr.. Bryan should not set himself up as
a supreme philosopher He should not
pose as final arbiter of public opinion.
There are men In this country, devoid of
his cunning, lacking his oratorical accom-
plishments, and without his financial
strength, who are just as capable of think
ing wisely and nationally as he is. They
have proven this fact on three separate
and distinct occasions, each time trying to
impress it with greater depth upon the
resilient mind of the gentleman from
Nebraska.
History shows that this country pros
pered, developed and grew wonderfully
before Mr.. Bryan appeared In the fore
ground of political activities. 1t shows
that, in spite of the fact that the people
repudiated his policies and trampled upon
his advice, this country has gone forward
with wonderful strides. 1t shows that, as
often as he has appeared as candidate
for the presidency of the United States,
he has had new issues and new ideas to
promulgate, and that he has as often
abandoned those issues and those ideas
upon the strength of which he hoped to
be swept into the national presidency.
If Mr.. Bryan has the high regard for
the people and their judgment that he
says he has, he ought to be satisfied with
the verdict that they have rendered
against him three times
Nobody can reasonably find fault with
Mr.. Bryan for taking advantage of the
opportunity he has to make money out of
his notoriet y by legitimate methods. He
has accumulated fortune because of the
notoriety he gained as presidential can
didate There is no evidence that he has
done this country any great good or that
he has sacrificed SO much as a picayune
for the betterment of the conditions tina.
surround the people. He has used the
Democratic party for the enhancement of
his private fortune and for the enlarge
ment of his notoriety. His political career
has been selfish one. Bryan has been
