THE NEW JERSEY KEYNOTE.

The real leader Of the Republican party in
New Jersey last evening sounded the real key
note of the Republican campaign in that state
Nobody there knows the state better than Gov
ernor Fort. and nobody is more perfectly in
touch with the dominant sentiment of the
party. There can be no question that his char
acteristically direct and uneQuivOCGl deClara-
tions of policy last evening expressed the senti-
ments of the popular mind and indicated the
lines on which handsome victory IS to be won
next month at the polls Hitherto there has
been some not unnatural complaint OF apathy
in New Jersey. We shall expect to hear little
more of that complaint and to see none Of the
effects of that condition.
Governor Fort spoke to the point on national
issues but none the less SO on state issues. and
particularly on that issue which extreme parti-
sans on both sides have been trying TO force to
the fore His brave and manly words on the
excise question must make his opponents wish
that they had not so strenuously striven to in
ject that matter into the campaign. 1t was a
sleeping dog which they had better have let
alone But since they would rouse 1t, the Gov
ernor assures them that they shall meet the
consequences, to an extent even more than they
desired He and his party did not hesitate to
face that issue and to fight campaign to vic
tory on il last year, and they do not shrink from
a repetition of that experience. If ANYBODY
thinks he can make much headway in New Jer
sey with a demand for the violation or ignoring
of the law or for taking off the lid," Atlantic
City style, throughout the state he is welcome
to try it,
The raising of the excise issue Is, in fact one
of the strongest arguments for the retention of
the Republican party in power at Trenton,
for ii is the only party which has had the cOur-
age and the sincerity TO deal honestly with that
issue. Years ago the Democrats enacted the ex-
listing Werts law. which was a good law so far
as it went, but which went just far enough to
leave itself powerless and useless and to make
the excise system of the state mockery and
a stencil in decent nOstrils. 1t was left for the
Republicans to enact the supplementary legis
latiOn which necessary TO give that law
effect and to give the state honest and de
cent system of saloon regulation When the
people of the state signify their desire for any
modification of that system the Republican
party will be responsive to their wish, but until
they do it will see to 1t that the law which
was made at the peoples desire is honestly and
impartially enforced.

Again and again the imperilled party oscilaleu
between the extremes Of hope and fear. 1et
so skilfuly aimed was a shot which carrleu
life line. after all other resources had proven
unsuccessful, that not soul was lost.
To become a derelict and a possible obstacle
to commerce is an ignoble fate for a defender
of American prestige in nautical sport, but the
country which nroduced the Mayfower has
occasion for pride in one quality which she ex-
hibiteG. She lost Der rigging, but her hull was
practically unharmed. Many another Doat OIL
her SIZE built for pleasure or traffic, would nave
been so strained by the terrific ordeal that she
would have filed with water and sunk IN rev
hours. That yacht, designed primarily Icr
racing and twenty-five years old, should give
such an account of itself is nothing less than
amazing For those who were on board the
Mayfower 1t was particularly fortunate cir
c,lmstance that she was on a much travelled
marine highway, but whatever might have hap
pened to them had help been delayed much
longer, it is evident that she herself would have
survived an indefinite amount of additional
pounding.
The cyclone which dismasted the Mayfower
is the fourth originating in or near the west
Indies within the last two months. Its course
seems to have been considerably to the east
ward of the others after it began to curve TO
the northwestward and nOrthward. 1t spared
the South Atlantic seabOard and wrought de-
struction in the Bahamas and Bermuda. Wneh
it caught the Mayfower the yacht could not

such storms are to be expected that we may
hope the record for 1908 is ended. In the long
intervals between this years cyclonlc vislta-
