In it's attempt to ridcule the

reached the height of silliness,
and from all indications is suf-
fering from an incurable case of
blind stsggers.
The P..S. pretends it does not
know that the COURIER has over
and over again made specific
charges against certain county
officials and more particularly
in the case of County Highway
Engineer o. G. Dameron.
We condemned Dsmeron be-.
cause he had not done more for
the public roads.
We condemned Dameron for
drawing his salary as county
highway engineer while he was
engaged in other lines Of work.
such as surveying lands and
acting as civil engineer in drain

sources and not earning q dollar

eral instances and then letting it
lie on thet ground and rot in.

We have condemned Dameron
for discsrding the pile driver in

mudsills and posts. AS a con.
sequence the county lost over

We entered our solemn protest
against Recorder J. w. Way
lands permitting the abstracters
to usurp muoh. of the room in his
office which was designed for
the recorders and the puDlic's
use and not for q private snap
for abstracters in order to avoid
paying office rent or the erec-
ton of a building of their own.
Down deep in his heart to-day
Mr.. Wayland is glad that the
COURIER materially aided in |
the "sponging" abstract |

therein and made his office far

committee desires to call the atten-

and unsightly appearance Of many OF
our streets and sidewalks. We have
not a large force of street cleaners at
our command, nor would such a one
be necessary, If each individual in the
community had sufficient civic pride
to refrain from throwing papers, nut
shells and debris of any kind on the
streets and walks.

DEMOCRATS NAME WILSON.
Princeton Head Nominated for Gov
ernor of New Jersey.

|
ernor of New Jersey.
Woodrow Wilson, president Of
Princeton university, was nominated
as the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of New Jersey at the convention
at Trenton Thursday. In which more
than fourteen hundred delegates took
part.
Mr.. Wilson's nomination came on
the first ballot, the number of dele
gates voting for him being 7491, which
was All more Than he needed. Frank
Katzenbach, jr., was second, with 372 /;
Senator George SlIzer had 2lO, Mayor
Wittpenn 761 and Sheriff Harrigan 6.
Mr.. Wilson's nomination was made
unanimous on motion of Mayor Nc
Bride, of Paterson. Messengers were
sent for DR.. Wilson when his nominal
tion was assured, and he addressed
the delegates.
The convention was Of the usual
noisy and disturbing kind for which
New Jersey Democrats are famous.
The bitter feeling between the anti
Wilson men and the supporters of the
Princeton president was shown at
every opportunity, and notone of the
speakers, save DR.. Wilson himself, was
able to address the delegates without
being met with howls of derision.
Every effort had been made to pre-
vent DR.. Wilson 5 nomination, tile OPP
posing candidates. entering into an
agreement to pool their votes for Mr..
Katzenbach if second ballot was
necessary.
John r. Hardin, Of Essex, was chair
man of the convention.
The platform adopted showed traces
of careful pruning. The planks affect
ing public utilities and direct primary
nominations we're vastly different from
the ones agreed on by the state COM
mittee last night. 1t was said they
we're changed to meet the wishes Of
DR.. Wilson, and there is little doubt
that the entire document was revised
and rewritten at Princeton.

WILL "UsE THE HOOK FREELY
Western Railroads Crusadjng Against
Dishonest Men.

Western railroads, led DY lne ROCK
Island, have determined to rid their
systems of every dishonest railroad
man employed in train or yard serv-
ice, and WHOLESALERS discharges of train
men are expected within the next Few
weeks. In fact, the decapitation of the
men who "knock down" on the COM
panies has already begun.
The discharge of these "old timers
of the rail, all of them passenger con-
ductors with families and preferred
runs on the leading railroad of the
west and one that seldom has any
trouble with its men, shows that the
ways of the railroad "spotter" are va
ried and devious and the cleverest
knight of the rail does not know when
he is being Swallowed.
The method of procuring evidence
by the Rock Island spoilers" best il
Illustrates the statement, One of them
invaded the sacred precincts of the
home of an old conductor, pretended
to be infatuated with the sister of the
conductors wife, made ardent love to
her rode with the conductor and the
young woman on his train and in
duced the ticket puncher to be a good
fellow and accept at least half fare in
cash and keep it.
The conductor did so, and before he
had reached the end of his run had
received a telegram ordering him to
report at the headquarters of the Rock
Other cases of like nature have been
reported all along the line of the Rock
Island in the last few weeks and there
is fear and trembling in the house
holds of many of the passenger con-
ductors.
Not only have the Rock Island con-
Guctors been deposed, but the COM
pany has inaugurated the collector or
train auditor service again. These au-
ditors are not being worked on the
Rock Island as they have been in the
east and on some of the western
roads. The conductors never know
what train they are going to get on
nor where, and in the last few weeks
they have climbed on the trains at out
of-way stations and water tanks at I'M
expected times and have sought to
find passengers who have paid cash
fares and have no evidence of their
right to travel.
The collector service is protection
to the public, as it allows the train
conductor to devote all of his time to
not have to bother with tickets or
cash fare slips, but the system is only
temporarily adopted, as it has been
found to be expensive and useless in
scare into the conductors that they
usually do not forget for some time to
come.
The auditors are usually paid 800
month and passengers complained
bitterly because of their lack of knowl-
edge of tickets and ordinary train ETH
quette.
Railroad officials say that every
road running west of Chicago is in the
combination to give the hook" to the
dishonest railroad men and that the
work will be kept up until every rail-
roader is out of the service who can
not show clean bill of health as to
his honesty and character.
