FIVE SENATE CANDIDATES.
James Il. MARITIME, Democrat, Last to
Enter Race.


Enter Race.
Ex-Governor Franklin Murphy, of
Newark; Representative Charles N.
Fowler, of Elizabeth; Frank M. Nc
Dermit, Newark lawyer, and James
e. MARITIME each filed petitions with
the secretary of state declaring them
selves candidates for the United States
senate, in accordance with the pro-
visions Of the act designed to make
the selection a subject of popular
choice.
Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Fowler, with
ex-G Governor e. G. Stokes, who has al
ready filed his petition, are all aspi-
rants for the position of Senator Kean
in the event Of the next legislature
being Republican. Mr.. McDermitand
Mr.. MARITIME base their hopes upon a
turn in the tide which will place the
Democrats 10 control.
The law requires that each petition
shall be signed by at least LOCO legal
voters of the state. Mr.. Murphy's
petitions had 1914 signatures, Mr..
Fowler's 1921 and Mr.. Martine's and
Mr.. McDermit's trif1e more than the
required number.sS
The contest promises to give rise to
an interesting political situation, since
it is by no means likely that any sin
gle candidate will receive the endorse
ment Of any considerable proportion
of the voters of the state. On the
Republican side Mr. Murphy and Mr..
Stokes are likely to divide honors be-
tween the northerly and the more
southerly counties, while Mr.. Fowler
is counting upon an expression of pop
ular approval in his own congressional
district.
Mr.. Kean, Republican, who desires
to go back to the Senate, has an
nounced that he would not file any
petition, but that he would leave his
case in the hands Of the Legislature.
A similar position has been taken by
David Baird, Republican, of Camden,
who would like to succeed Mr.. Kean.
Former Senator James Smith. jr., of
Newark, who probably would be a cam
didate for the Senate if the next Leg
islature we're Democratic on joint bal
lot, has not filed any petition.

Tested in Morristown lately over old
deeds. District Court Judge Oliver
X. Day is the possessor of deed dated
October 10th, 1705. The date is writ

which is hard to decipher, many OF
the letters being made in an odd man

being used.

The deed was given to Judge Day
several years ago by John Jardine, 9
former resident of Morristown anc

Two Morris county Graveyards


The old Mendham Presbyterian
church and its graveyard are land
marks OF north Jersey. The broad
chested house of worship, surmount-
ing the hill and visible for miles
around, should be carefully preserved
until it's sturdy old timbers can no
longer safely sustain the structure.
1t is we'll cared for, but not so much
can be said of the churchyard, for only
the newest parts are trim and neat,
and the old graves are rapidly lapsing
into pitiable state of neglect and de-
cay. The church society should have
pride enough to keep the ancient
tombstones- bearing dates, some Of
them. back into the early days of the
eighteenth century erect and free
from moss and mould. Heroes of the
pioneer days even before the war for
independence lie buried there, and
strong men and women who faced the
trials of that great war itself we're
laid to rest on this windswept hillside.
Now the grass and weeds grow rankly
there, the stones are many of them
fiat and all but lost in the tangled UNI
dergrowth. In some spots there are
no walks at all, and the caretaker has
recently thrown unsightly heaps OF
tree branches and bushes, cropped
from other sections of the graveyard,
upon the lowlying mounds Of the set
tiers. The people Of Mendham have
no excuse for this neglect.
Down in another part of this same
beautiful county of Morris, at Whip
pany, there is an old cemetery, even
older, apparently, than that on Mend
hams hilltop; but there the whole
place is zealously watched over, and
there Is a simple dignity about the plot

PATTEN's NEW APosToLATE.

Mr.. James A. Patten having made
all the money that he thinks he wants
for the present at least-in wheat
and cotton speculation closes his busi-
ness career with an admonition to the
American people to practice thrift.
I'VE throw away" he says, more
food than would supply the tables of
almost any other country"
Now, there is much truth in this
Yet 1t does not carry much conviction
when uttered by men of the type of
Mr.. Patten. 1t is easy for men who
have made millions by speculation OF
other business short cuts, more GER
tain than scrupulous, to preach thrift
for the other fellows. Butts its effect on
the popular mind is like John D.
Rockefeller condemning the pursuit o.
wealth, Gallo preaching personal vir
tue, or the Oldest example of all
Satan rebuking sin. The way Mr.. Pal
ten acquired his fortune does moi
teach young men that the way tc
business success is by thrift; nor wher
he departs on pleasure trip to Europ,
does he set his contenance against {
form of American expenditure whic'
costs his country an annual drair
variously estimated at $15O,OOO,OOO Z,
$3.50, 100000.
| Yet even though Mr.. Patten has sal,
1t, 1t is the fact that We are waste
full nation. We waste our food, ou
public franchises, oar public lands
our forests and our mineral resources
lTheresis no greater waste, either o
pecuniary distribution or of publ
ethics, than the liberation of specula
tion, corners, manipuIations and com
binations which have concentrate
great fortunes in the hands OF mel
like Patten. All these wastes shoul
be corrected. But Patterns doctrin
and Patten's practice have such
gulf between them that no results ar
to be expected from his apostolate @
thrift.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

by itself ana is TO be judged by its
purposes and uses only. If they shall
be kindly, humanizfng, enlightening
and just they will serve not so much
TO obscure as to darken and render
forbidding the practices that made
the accumulation possible.
What is called business varies
81 eatly from age to age In many re-
spects 1t is a desperate game even

of those who never felt generous
impulse or recognized an obligation

The Foundations that crumble are

LOBBY GETS
BUSY AGAIN
First Fresh Attack is Being
Made on the Landon
Bill.
BY United Press Wire.

Columbus o.. March 1O-Lobbyists
swarm about the legislature today
using every means to increase the con-
fusion and near-panic created by the
warning of the attorney general to
to the government that the state may
lose s2,000,000 annually by the refusal
of public service corporations to pay
the Cole excise tax.
The first attack of the lobby is on
the Langdon tax commission bill
which comes up tomorrow for passage
In the house. Representative Langdop
said this morning: "This new situa
tion will undoubtedly strengthen the
bill. 1t shows the necessity for com
plete methods of collecting the tax
from all alike. Should the Cole law be
declared invalid 1t would not effect
the tax commission bill. The bill does
not impose any tax of any kind. 1t is
purely administrative. providing for
the collection of taxes already author
lied and for the extention of the
method provided In the Nicholas act
1t Is for the proper valuation of all
property for taxation purposes"

that Britain's policy of ruling the seas

commission bill. They have their eyes
fixed on the suggestion of the attor-
ney general that the expenses of the
state be divided and collected from
the counties according TO population
That means that the farmer and the
owner must make 'ur the deficit IN
the state revenues unless, by the
Langdon bill or some similar measure
machinery is provided to make the
corporations to pay their share of the
revenue. The Langdon law contains
a provision giving the tax commits
sion authority to require the township
and ward assessors TO get all per-
sonal property on the tax duplicate at
its fair valuation, something that has
never been done and for which the
farmers have always ngitated.

with reference to Attorney General
Denman's statement about the Cole
excise law:

some of the corporations would re.
fuse to pay the Cole tax IL certain
reforms were pressed in the leglsla

and does not need any charity from

powers and authorities to take care OF

that the state will do what is needed
