WILSON AND SMITH

In common with very large ma
jority of the American people. the
New York Globe has good opinion of
Woodrow Wilson. In noting the con-
troversy as to what Dir. Wilson says
the Hon. James Smith, Jr.. told him
about running for United States Sena-
tor, which Mr.. Smith denies he said
the Globe emphasizes the fact that Mr..
Smith sis at a terrible Disadvantage"
because "the average person is dis
posed to believe DR.. Wilson" and 1t
adds: ''He (Wilsonl has the repute of
being n ruth-teller. He has never
been an underground or burrowins'
politician. He Is both tempcramentally
and by long practice candid and above
board, He has not got on by scheming
or planning.
This is fine for Wilson, but rather
furious for Smith. To say that Wilson
tells the truth, that there is nothing
sinister about him or his ways, that
he can always be placed, does not
mean. of course, that Smith cannot tel
tbc truth and does not work out IN
the open. but. put in this way tho
zcomnorison Of the Globe at east sun

CHANGING THE BREED.

The Boston Globe declares that the
indications are that Charles i. John
son, Of Waterville. will be elected
United states Senator by the Maine
Legislature at It's coming session as
the successor of Senator Hale. For
the first time in thirty years, y Demo-
crat will represent Maine in the higher
house of the national Legislature. Tho
rarity OF Democratic victory in Maine
is further evidenced when it is remem-
bored that Senator Hale succeeded in
the Senate Hannibal EIamlin, who was
Vice President under Lincoln.
1t is said that Mr.. Johnson has six
ty-four votes pledged to him in the
Democratic caucus, giving INN eleven
more than a majority. From the facts
before u.s. ii would seem that Mr..
Johnson is unusually and admirably
fitted for the duties of his high posi-
ton. He Is popular in Maine. The
people of the Pine Tree state have tho
highest confidence in him, Corporate
interests have Joined the people gem

our STREETS AND BACk-YAI,Ds.

In its Christmas number, the New
foundland Illustrated Tribune speaks
of a copy of The Times-Dispatch that
some kind friend had sent it, (which In
size, illustrations, letter-press, , and
literary contents. compares favorably
with the great New York and Boston
dailies" The Tribune was particular
ly impressed with "a paragraph marked
TO tho effect, that in the Spring Of
each year day is set apart, as a
public holiday, for repairing fences,
cleaning up the streets and back yards
of Richmond. The residents evidently
have becoming pride of place and
from the wealthiest to the humblest
citizens all lend a hand to make their
city creditable.'
There's no place like Richmond; but
we must say that there are some
streets, shafer street, for example
which all the efforts of humble ana
wealthy citizens could not make credit
able in its present miserable condition.

TuE NEGRO QUESTION PUT ny !
NEGRO

The Rev George A. Brown of Pontl-
ac. Illinois, has written very sensible
letter TO the Chicago Tribune on the
negro problem. He is a negro himself
and he speaks very plainly to the peo-
pie of his race. telling them some
truths which it would be we'll for them
TO think about. For example: Tho
Anglo Saxon is Il better friend to the
negro than the negro is to himself Our
pcrity spoils us: for instance: a negro
barber in Nerlnilion county is suing q
him Il meal whom this same negro re-
fuses to shave one of his own race in
his establishment"
We have not seen the question put
more forcibly than that, The negro
barber who would not shave a negro in
his shop, because he is running a. shop
for white customers, brings suit for
damages against white restaurant
keeper running a restaurant for white
customers, because he would not serve
this negro barber with a meal in an
eating place set apart for white folks.
1t looks to us as # this statement
made BY the Rev. George A. Brown
covers Very nearly the whole case.

The labor leaders who are said to be
responsible for the dynamiting Of the
Llewellyn Iron Works plant, at Los
Angeles, on Christmas morning, were
never more mistaken than in suppos-

things in San Francisco became un-
bearable in the early days, the Vigil

Secretary Knox is ready and willing
to go to war with Japan If there are

such a contest possible. We should

He Thidks Springfield Avenue En-
titled to Trolley.
In a letter to the Summit Record
George Y. Muchmore, of Summit, sets
forth some facts that Morristown peo-
pie may profit by:
/ noticed in your edition of Septem-
Der 3rd an editorial on the Morris
County Traction company's present
position with the city Of Summit.
In my judgement, many things set
forth in this article are true and un-
disputable. The old management
were unable to live up to their ordin-
ance.
Now that the new management has
taken hold, it has constructed and
equipped since the first day of Janu-
ary, over ten miles of road which is
now in operation, and the public
which it serves are all rejoicing.
There Is no disputing the fact that
the small extension from East Sum-
NIT up to Overlook road has been
beneficial to the people Ii ing in
that vicinity, as well as others. In
other words, the new management of
this company has done wonders since
they have taken charge, and should be
given all possible encouragement by
the municipalities from whom it is
asking consideration, to complete It's
project.
The franchise should be only fair
and honest, and the disposition of the
company at this time is just that. 1t
has come out both openly and above
board and stated its reasons for every
request it has made and has courted
information and criticism, so that
when matters are finally adjusted the
public will be best served.
The property holders and business
men on Summit and Springfield ave-
nues demand and are entitled to troll
ley service. The idea of a change Of
routing in Summit is brought about
after carefully Investigating the local
requirments not only for to-day, but
also for the future, and it this is reason
alone the traction company feel it is
necessary to make this change to give
our people the service they demand.
There are two ways of going out Of
Summit, one by way OF the boulevard,
the other to continue on Springfield
avenue to Morris avenue.
No doubt the city council has dis
cussed in detail the idea of this pro-
posed new route, and as they have the
interest of the city at heart, and the
confidence of the people, there is no
doubt that they will grant such a
franchise as will be to the interest Of
the people OF Summit, and also enable
the traction company to give proper
service in the future.
Yours very truly,
George V. Muchmore.
