In reference to the destruction and
death by storm that swept over Lou
isiana and three other States two
weeks ago, and the urgent request
for aid, Gov. Blanchard telegraphed
to the Louisiana menrhrrs Of Con
gi-ess that no Federal aid was want
ed in this State, except the use of
some of the army tents. He says
the ready response from Louisiana
citizens met the'urgency Of the cnse
within our borders, and the State
stands ready to extend helping
hand should greater necessity arise.

killed at the first place, and six at
the latter, while three dozen or more
were injured. The destruction to
property was very great.

THE election in Maine yesterday re-
suited in Republican victory al
though by reduced majorities. Bert
NJ. Fernald, of Portland, was chosen
Governor over Obadiah Gardner, of
Rockland, the Democrats had the sat
isfaction of seeing the normal Repub-
lican plurality cut to less than 10, 900
votes for the first time in a President
ial year for more than quarter of a
century. ALI four Republican candi-
dates for Congress were elected ard
for State Auditor, Charles p. Hatch,
OF Augusta, Republican,, defeated his
opponent. The result, while lit was
closer than the Republican leaders had
expected, was not surprise 10 them.
The Prohibition liquor law was the
real issue of the campaign, and the
Democrats paid no attention to ma
tional issues. The Republicans were
on the defensive on the local issue,
standing for the maintenance of the
Prohibition law, while the Democrats
fought for resubmission of the law to
the voters. The result of the hard
work by party managers and speakers
on both sides was large increase in
the turnout of voters, nearly one hum
dred and forty thousand going to the
polls, number which was within a
few thousand of the record for the
state. The lessening of the Republi-
can plurality of 1904, and the Demo-
cratic gain in Maine is not q SURF rise
either to Maine Republicans or the
national leaders or the party who have
kept in touch with the situation there.
These are confident that despite the
Maine will return majority
of 10000 for Taft and Sherman.

COMMUNICATION.

To THE EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE:
Fl. G.. Emmell deserves the thanks
Of the community for his energetic
action in the case of the youngthieves
who plundered his garden. It is time
that punishment should be visited on
those who continually steal from the
gardens in Morristown. This thieving
is carried on to an extent that would
surprise many. 1t is an organized
system; bands of children, three or
four in number, sometimes five or six,
visit the gardens and grounds where
fruit is to be found. One stands out
side to watch and give warming to the
rest who are plundering. Then when
an alarm is given, all run away as fast
as their feet can carry them. They
never enter through gates, but climb
over fences at some point distant
from the house, often breaking down
the fences in so doing. Unoccupied
houses are the places that suffer most.
When their owners return in the fall,
expecting to find their apples and
grapes ripe and ready for use they will
see that the trees have been stripped,
and the fruit eaten while green. 1t is
sad to see children form these habits
of stealing. Can we expect them to
grow up honest men? It is sadder
still to know that their parents do not
check, but rather encourage them ia
these thefts, for they are provided
with boxes, bags and pals, which they
undoubtedly procure from their par
entS. 1t is to be hoped that many
others who suffer from the robbing of
their gardens will take prompt meas
ures as Mr.. Emmell did and have the
young robbers arrested. When our
flowers were in bloom these marauders
stripped off the blossoms in the rough
est way, and then had the effrontery
TO go about the streets selling them.

Local option League NJ cots.

A meeting Of the Morris County Lo-
cal Option League was held in Lipp-
man Hall, on Wednesday evening.
George Il. Jenkins, who with Stark b.
Ferris, is candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for assemblymen was
present and report was made for the
Democratic side Of the house that
Allen LOCKER, Jr., had pledged him
self for local option last year, but that
John v. Wise. the other candidate,
would not give pledge as to what he
would do. A, campaign of personal
work, assisted by cards, advertising
the candidates, and letters to the
clergymen Of the county was decided
on the campaign to be carried on by
the local centres,a far as possible.

The variety and quality of mental
pabulum that is being served up to
the . working man in these days is
wonderful to contemplate. Just why
the plain people, who are the founda-
tion of every nation, should be put in
a class by themselves and be fed with
spoon victuals by doctrinaires, agita-
tors and adolescents no reasoning man
knows. A recent instance of this was
Sunday evening sermon based upon
the story of the oppression of the Is
raelites in Egypt which eliminated in
the exodus. After setting forth in
graphic manner the rigor of the bur-
dens imposed upon the Israelites, the
speaker said that the exodus might
truly be called revolt of oppressed
workmen against their conditions,
and the exodus the greatest labor
strike or revolt in the history of the
world. He then applied the lesson
to the present day and said that the
working men of these times were suf-
fering under similar oppression and
predicted that they would be led forth
in similar manner to better condi-
tions. The average working man is
not deficient in ordinary knowledge or
common sense, and he knows that
viewed from simply human stand
point the going out of Egypt, so far as
the individuals who went out are con-
cerned, was the most colossal failure
recorded in history. When they re-
member that of the six hundred and
three thousand five hundred and fifty
able bodied men above the age of
twenty (more than twice as many as
there are in this state at the present
time), just two were alive at the end
of forty years. And not only that but
they were in so much worse condition
in a little while that they tried to go
back to their bondage. They were re-
duced to astate of absolute equality and
they all ate the same food for forty
years, and when they longed for the
flesh pots and leeks and onions Of
Egypt we're visited with plaques, when
they murmured at their condition
they were smitten with pestilence
when they grumbled at their leaders
they were bitten by serpents and
thousands died, and the sins of one
were visited upon thousands and with
the exception of two the whole multi
tude Il iserably persisted in the wilder
ness without ever seeing the promised
land for which they started With such
high hopes. No, the spirit of discon.
tent and unrest is co-exlsteDt with the
fall OF man and will continue until the
end of time, but the working man o.
this country, whether he works witt
his head or his hands has his destiny
largely in his own hands, and has NJ
desire to follow any modern Moses int
a wilderness of uncertainty to be al
object lesson TO the world.

Corner stone Laid.

School, at Ralston, was laid with APP

laity of the Episcopal Church. The

laying of the corner stone had been

IT will do no harm for the Republi-
cans to place Indiana. New York. New
Jersey, Connecticut and West Virginia
in the list of doubtful states. This
will serve to arouse the party from any
feeling of apathy which it may fall in
to. The Republicans have large ma
jority of the people on full vote. The
duty of the campaign managers will be
to get that vote out. Confidence is an
excellent thing for the party to have
but ii it should lead any considerable
number of voters in each precinct to
stay away from the polls it might
easily prove disastrous. Even with a
$500: 900 plurality, like that of Roose-
velt in 1904, the staying at home of a
few Republicans in each voting pre-
cinct in the Northern and Western
states would have reduced the Repub-
lican lead sufficiently to have made the
result very close. 1t would be unsafe
to count on a repetition in 1908 of the
tidal wave of 1904. Bryan will un-
doubtedly poll larger vote than
Parker. He has far larger following
in the West than Parker had, while he
he is not likely to be any weaker in
the East than Parker was. Careless
ness among Republican voters this
year is peril which should be guard
ed against. The size of the Republic
can majority is detail which deserves
attention. The country needs a ma
jority for Taft and House belonging
to his party, which will be sure TX
mean complete Republican ascen
dency for at least four years more, anC
thus bring Republican prosperity +
us again in its old time measure.

IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT.

Two sets of candidates seeking cleo
tion as delegates to the Fifth District
Congressional convention in some Of
the districts of Union county might
Indicate to the outsider that there will
be confession the nomination. That,
however, is NOT the case. Whatever
opposition exists to the denomination
OF Mr.. Fowler is unorganized and al
though the Congressman from the
Fifth DISTRICT is quoted as saying that
he would regard the presence in the
field OF two sets of delegates as an in
dication Of war upon himself, there is
no reason to believe thatleither group
is opposed to him.
Alexander Gilbert, president of the
NewYork Clearing House Association,
has been doomed internationally for
Congress Cor several years past and he
had many friends this year who want
ed him to become candidate for the
nomination. He seems content, how
ever, to wait at least two years before
gratifying an ambition he is believed
to possess, and has consequently en-
dorsed heartily he movement to re-
nominate Mr.. Fowler.
Many citizens of Union County be-
lieved Carlton B. Pierce, of Crawford,
of Congressional timber. Probably he
is. But the Republican organization
in Union County would not listen to
any proposal that would take Mr..
Pierce out of the assem- bly, this year.
, 1t is any mans right to be a candi-
date for any office in the gift of the
people. But there are special reasons,
already pointed out by the Journal,
why Mr.. Fowler should go back to
Congress for the next two years. Mr..
Fowler did not carry Union county in
1906. That was due to peculiar con-
ditionS which do not exist now. 1t
was partly owing to the personal
strength of his opponent in Plain6eld,
whence Republican pluralities usually
come. 1t was partly due to the at
lacks alleging absenteeism from Con-
yress against Mr.. Fowler. If the Fifth
District Congressman had really been
absent from his post more than con-
'istent with duty to his constituents
previous to two years ago he has GER
Jainly lived that down in the two
years just ending. Everybody knows
that there was no more conspicuous
figure in the Sixtieth Congress than
Charles N. Fowler. Union county will
