stitutional amendments, besides electing State and municipal
officers. In the other States, except West Virginia and New Jr-
sey, the elections will be for county and municipal officers. In
Pennsylvania among the amendment propositions is one similar
to that which was defeated in New Jersey, making the State and
municipal elections alternate each year. But in Pennsylvania the
Legislature is now biennial. In Maryland the amendment issue
is a proposition that, if adopted, will disfranchise $4,000 negroes.
n provides for a property qualification and an educational test. In
New York an amendment to exempt certain public investment
bonds from the debt limit of New York city will be voted on. The
great interest, however, is in the municipal elections in New York
city, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Cleveland, Louisville and in
cities of Ohio. In that State, beginning next January, there will
be a new municipal code, making the mayor all powerful, having
complete control of every department and the letting of all con-
tracts. In Indiana the municipal campaigns generally turn on the
excise question. The most interesting contests are those in New
York and Philadelphia. In the latter city the Democratic party
hardly makes any figure, as the fight is between the Republican
regime and the William Penn party, a reform organization, which
has the Endorsement of the Democrats. ~

The Mathews Conrouersu


Some of the communications being
sent to The STAR wande away from
the direct question at issue. The STAR
said it would publish communications
bearing on the controversy, and will
do SO. but will not pay attention to
anonymous letters or those which do
not hold directly to the case.-Ed.
To the Editor of the Star:
Sir:-My attention has been called to
the communication of w. B. Killing
beck In support of Professor Mathews.
The article passes lightly over the facts;
devotes much space to the principles of
Socialism, and dismisses the charges
with an air of f1nality that would be
amusing in ar argument less serious. \
He erects, as his premises, the consti-
tutional provision guaranteeing freedom
of speech. He then deduces, what he
conceives to be an incontrovertible syl-
logism. that Professor Mathews was in
the enjoyment Of his Constitutional
right at the meeting in question. I'm
fortunately for the soundness of "Mr.
killingbeck's' logic, he overlooks an
important qualification in the Constitu-
tional provision, namely that while the
right of free spsach Is guaranteed, all
persons are responsible to the law for
an abuse of that right. Did the speak
ers at the meeting at which Professor
Mathews presided abuse their constitu-
tional right? Did they utter sentiments
subversive of law and order and tend
ing to lessen the influence of religion?
Beyond this we need not inquire. If
they did, Professor Mathews falls by the
way, for he vouches for what was said
at the meeting.
The issue is not an involved one, yet
Mr.. Killingbeck" seems unable to grasp
1t, but delves into the principles of So
cialism and assails the motives of the
Mathews accusers. Why? He is either
ignorant of the facts in the case, or,
knowing them, he is so mentally biased
as to seek to divert the discussion into
other channels.
1t is stated, and not denied, that at
the meeting in question all religion was
assailed, and law and order fiouted by
utterances to the effect that Outlets
threatened the heads of King Alfonso,
King Edward, King Rockefeller and
King Morgan" Religion, with it's cha
stening influence, has brought the world
to it's present state of enlightened civ
ilization. Can we now afford to set il
aside as no longer useful? a and
order are the essentials of good gov
eminent; without them there would be
chaos. Is that condition of anarchy
desired? Is 1t proper to nave in charge
of the mental and intellectual develop
ment of u young an instructor who
The Newark star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1909, 1909-11-01

publicly approves of these principles?
This, "Mr. Killingbeck," Is the issue
raised by your friend Professor
Mathews, and yet you, either in ig-
norance of, or wilfully withholding, the
facts, assume with calm e%ffrontery the
right to assail the motives of those who
would maintain the influence Of Re-
ligion and seek to uphold the law. Is
it not the duty of every citisen to
frown upon the lawless expressions ut
tered at the Mathews meeting? And
is the act the less worthy because a
Catholic priest had the courage, as a
citizen, to be the first to direct public
attention to the matter? Is your sense
of fairness SO dulled n your Judg-
ment so hopelessly warped that you
feel impelled, because of this act, to
inquire if the hands of the clock are to
be turned back and the days of the
Inquisition to be re-established? Shame
upon you, sir, for resorting to weapons
of discussion employed by ignorance
and prejudice. Malice will not avail in
this discussion. 1t is aver a dangerous
influence, and will lead O into deeper
trouble. 1t is unnecessary for you to
delve into the misty pages of the past
for an issue. You have one before you
that you seem unwilling or unable to
cope with. Professor Mathews case is
indeed critical when you offer no de-
fence other than an assault upon citi-
zenship. JOHN MORTON.
To the Editor Of the Star:
Sir-Just a line. please, in reply to the
communication of "R. n. WISE This
gentleman makes the following state
ments: He knows Professor Mathews.
He Is friendly to the workingman. He
is not an anarchist. Mr.. Wise's friend
ship for the Professor is not questioned,
but his conclusions are. No one as yet
has spoken in support of the anarchistic
tendencies displayed atsthe meeting ex-
cept Professor Mathews. He presided
there. Later he approved of the
speeches. Does he show friendship for
the Workingman in doing so? He is
charged with the training of the child of
the Workingman. He receives his SAL
airy largely from the Workingman. La
Dor stands for the maintenance of law
and order and the retention of religion.
Professor Mathews has other views, II
the report of the meeting be true. Is
friendship for the Workingman shown
here?
1t is claimed that he is not an an
archist. Probably he is not. But at the
least he displayed questionable judg-
ment. and affords proof that he Is an
unsafe guide for maturing minds.

Saturday and the deaths of two other football players injured in

To the Editor Of the Star:
IN your issue of Saturday. the
Mathews supporters had their day. The
replies were couched in language fair
~ temperate, and If they failed to
convince, they at least bore evidence
OF the writer's sincerity. Most of
them dealt with matters that are not
at issue here, and hence, while they
afforded interesting reading, they failed
utterly in their attempted justification
OF Professor Mathews conduct.
Not a Socialist rushes to the
Mathews standard in evident good faith,
but 1t would have been better for the
Professor had this advocate remained
silent. He condemns the sentiments
expressed by some of the speakers at
the meeting in question, but contends
that Professor Mathews should not be
held responsible therefor, nor for the
unruly remarks of the audience. In
his condemnation of the sentiments OF
he speakers he convicts his client, for
the sentiments which mot a Socialist
repudiates, Professor Mathews, on the
day following the meeting, publicly APP

Webster City, July 30.-His body
badly blistered and burned by gasoline,
c. H. Hill, a Kamrar barber, is con-
fined to his bed, the victim of an au-
tomubile accident that happened about
a mile and half east of this city. Hill
was driving his own car at lively
rate of speed, when without a mo-
ments warning, it shot off the turn
pike and turned turtle in the ditch.
Hill was accompanied by Joseph
Carson, also of Kamrar, who escaped
without injury other than a lew
bruises.
The accident is supposed to have
been caused by a defective wheel Civ
ing way. When the car went down,
Carson was hurled thru the air about
thirty feet, alighting safely. Hill, who
was driving, was pinned under his
car, where he had to remain for more
than twenty minutes while his COM
panion went across the fields to the
nearest farm house. a quarter of a
mile away, for help. The gasoline tank
leaked its contents over Hills cloth
ing and it soaked him to the skin,
blistering his flesh about his waist,
thighs and legs.
A physician was hurried to the
scene of the catastrophe in an auto.
He brought the man to town and
dressed his injuries, after which he
was taken to mis- home in Kamrar. The
car was badly wrecked but it will
probably be repaired.
