EEW BOOKS in the lie.
erary history of this
country had such in-
stantaneous success and wide
popularity as the Isl Klegg"
series. From the very 6rst
the story attracted a host Of
readers, and these increased
IN geometrical ratio as the
publication progressed.
1t is the story plainly, SIM
ply and truthfully told of tho
development of two green
country boys into veteran
soldiers of the highest type.
The story is told with affec-
tionate fidelity by one who
marched, camped and fought
with them, and there is a
universal agreement that it 10
far the best story of the ex-
perience of the enlisted men
in the Union Army that has
ever been written. Every
detail and incident is so
truthful. so like his own ex-
perience that the veteran in
stantly recognizes it with
a burst of laughter or the
tears yelling into his eyes.
The abounding humor of the
book is one of its most fas-
sinating features. Wherever
it is possible to extract fun
out of any situation or hap
pening it is done in the real
old army way. The heros of
the story see the fun them
selves at once and the
author vividly depicts it.

SATURDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER IS, 1910.
A RESIDENCE FOR THE GOVERNOR.

fl will be within easy reach of the State capital, SO there VIII
be no need for him to establish a residence IN trenton. Inc
uuestion of a gubernatorial mansion has been under discussion OF
n number of years. Governor Murphy, who has ample means, hVeo
IN Trenton during his term and paid his expenses out OF nj own
rocket. Former Governor Stokes, whose legal residence Is at
Milvlle, has a home also in Trenton. Being a bachelor ne lives
modestly in apartments. Governor Murphy gave social entertain
ments, while Governor Stokes spent most OF his time IN n eAecu-
tive chambers, where he received his visitors. Governor Fort mas
divided his time between East Orange and Spring Lake. There mas
never vet been shown the necessity for a governor to live at the
State capital and entertain. The salary of the Governor is Slo,Ooo
q year and he is allowed nothing for personal expenses. a resl
dence at Trenton would mean a very expensive establishment, kept
ND principally for the entertaining of official guests. The entertain
ment would have to be on a scale to correspond with the dignity OF
the Office, and, especially in these times of high prices, the hospl
tality of the Governor might cost him more than his salary. Unless
the Legislature, besides paying for the erection and furnishing II a
stately home for the Governor, should also make a considerable
annual appropriation for household expenses, 1t IS likely Ia n
Governor would fail to make both ends meet on his salary. opvl
ously, a Governor not possessed of good independent income would
either have to run a mean establishment or quit office in debt the
question of a residence for the Governor can afford to sleep Tor a
few years, until the State approaches New York in It's size and
income.

WHY LEWIS RUN BEHIND IN ESSEX.

M HARTMAN DALRYMPLE, in his remarks at the meeting OF
" the Republican County Committee.las night said that, IN
Spite of certain adverse conditions, "the Republican can
didata for county register was elected, the Board of Free
holders is safely Republican and the Assembly ticket ran about
10000 ahead of our candidate for Governor in this county" The
county chairman has a large fund of cheerful philosophy. Now,
If sueh- differences should occur in the vote in Hudson county there
would be charges of treachery. 1t would be alleged that the candl.
date for Governor was traded off for the purpose of electlng leglsla-
tive and local candidates. More especially would the charge be
made if a senatorial election by the Legislature was impending.
1t will hardly be asserted that the eleven Republican candidates
for the Legislature were more popular with the party voters than
Mr.. Lewis, the candidate for Governor. The scandals of the SEES
sion this year made these candidates. actually offensive. The Pro
gressiye Republican voters expressed no objection to Lewis, while
they piloried the Essex legislators, who were also obnoxious to
the Commuters League. Why, then, did the vote for the eleven
Assembly candidates so greatly exceed that for Governor? Was
it a case of sauye qui peut?

STATE FOOD INSPECTION A FARCE.

~ covered 443 cans of rotten eggs in a coldstorage house in
Jersey City. In Philadelphia the other day an inspector
dropped into a bakeshop and found a quantity of eggs in the last
stage of decomposition. When questioned the baker acknowledged
that the quantity seized was only a small part Of a consignment
and that he had used the bulk of it in his baking. The disclosures

in that city. But the revelations apparently had no effect upon the

CANNON ON PRICES AND WAGES.

m FTER the fall campaign was well begun Speaker Cannon, who
IN had been doing much talking, suddenly ceased. He pulled
through in his district for reelection, thanks to the special
interests, and has not been heard from since the election until yes
terday, when he turned up at Washington. Speaking to a news
paper correspondent, Cannon referred to the Democratic majority
the cost of living and increase the price of labor. Let us see if
they will do it, As for the cost of living, prices of necessaries
have already begun to fall. The mere shadow Of the next House
has the power to intmidate the forestallers of the peoples food.
There was no promise to increase wages. The enormously increased
cost Of living has tended to force up wages to the highest point they
ever attained. But workingmen have learned that the real question
in regard to wages is not so much the number of dollars in the
wage. but the value of the wage dollar. The trusts that have grown
up under CannOnism cut the dollar in half, so that the man who to
day earns $4 Il day lives no better than when he got 81 a day. And
in occupations not protected by organizations the wage is no higher
than 1T ever was, while the prices of necessaries for the wageearner
havedonbled. The new Congress can increase the value of the wage
dollar by legislation. That value has begun to increase already,
md only since the election.

q ENATOR committee of Investigation
of district school boards in the State will resume its hear
ings during the coming week. The work of the committee
was stopped prior to the election campaign on the ground that the
hearings might affect the elections. But the committee finished up
in Hudson county before its recess, apparently without a thought
that the facts brought out would affect elections in that county.
Now that all questions of parties and politics are disposed OF, how
ever, the committee should resume its quest and prosecute it so well
that the entire State will be covered in time for a complete report
to the Legislature. An incomplete report will not do. 1t is in ac
cordance neither with fairness nor public policy to probe the school
districts in one county and not in another. The committee has had
ample time, and to spare, for the conduct of its investigation, and
there can be no excuse for a report that does not cover the whole

A Republican and Julian A. Gregory.
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
l was pleased as an independent Re-
publican when 1 read in the Morning
today that former United States
Senator James Smith, jr., had decided
to prosecute Julian A. Gregory, of East
Orange, where 1 live, for libelous at
tacks upon him in an article signed by
Gregory and printed in a Newark aft
ernoon paper. Typewriter copies OF
the article were mailed to New York
papers. but very few noticed them. and
those tina did omitted all of Gregory's
allegations that the editors kne were
false.
1 was greatly pleased when I read in
the Evening STAR late yesterday after
noon on a train from New York an in
terview with Mr.. Smith, in which he
said 1t was true that he would prose-
cute Gregory for libel, and all my Re-
publican friends who read the inter-
view were also, for we believe that
men in public life should taxi legal
action to punish men who make reck-
less charges against them On mere
gossip, not from personal knowledge.
That is Gregory's fault. 1 have known
him a long time.
One day after he was defeated by
Everett Colby, the Progressive Repub-
lican candidate for State senator, l and
several friends were at the Lack
awanna railroad station in East Or
ange waiting for a New York train.
One man asked Gregory why he
made such a poor show against Colby,

a perfectly good title. He had been

he will prove an exceedingly useful
