DR.. WILSON AND THE CONSTT
TUITION.

The president Of Princeton University,
who is now also the Democratic candi-
date for the governorship of New Jer-
sey. is acclaimed by his friends and sup
porters as pre-eminently a student OF
the science of government and as su-
preme authority upon public affairs. 1t
would be folly to challenge his scholar
ship or TO deny that he has in recent
years devoted many utterances to dis
cussion of civic interests. But these
facts cause US TO regard with the more
surprise one of the most recent utter
ances authoritatiyely imputed to him.
In The Newark Star paper which
might almost be, regarded as his repre-
sentative organ. so intimately are 1t and
its proprietor associated with his candi-
dacy, we find Dr. Wilson reported as
saying:
/ would put in the power Of the prose
cutting attorney the privilege OF altering
indictments to include officials who crawl
to cover and might be located we're the
laws Of evidence more elastic.
If those words mean anything-snd
DR. Wilson is not given to speaking idle
words-they certainly seem TO mean that
a prosecuting attorney should be enpow-
cred at viii TO include in an indictment
persons whom the grand jury which
found the indictment did not thus in
cude. Thus. if the grand jury indicted
Smith. the District Attorney might in
clude JonGs and Robinson i'm the same
Indictment, although the grand jury had
failed and refused 10 do so.
The Fifth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, forming a part
Of the commonly called Bill OF Rights,
and regulating the exercise of federal
authority, provides:
No person shall be held TO answer for
caDital or otherwise infamous crime un-
less on a presentment or indictment Of
grand jury.
The constitution of the State Of New
Jersey. regulating the exercise of state
authority, in Article /, Section D. pro-
vides:
No person shall be held 10 answer for
% criminal offence unless on the present.
luent or Indictment Of a grand jury, eX-
cept IN cases of impeachment or in
cases cognIzable by justices OF the peace,
or arising in the army or navy or in the
militia, when in actual service IN time
OF war or public danger.
without conceding precedence 70 any
one in New jersey over Or. Wilson in
scholarly familiarity with these two in
struments, we cannot repress a feeling

Tho humiliation of being rejected in
his own home district and ward III
Oneida County, fOreshadowinS his com
ing rejection by the state convention. Is
the natural and inevitable consequence
of Vice President Sherman's allying
himself with the discredited Barnes
Woodruff crew and permitting bis name
10 be used for its purposes Mr.. Sher-
man suffers worse in the party clash
than any Cf the ''old guard" members
who are shielding themselves behind
him. Messrs Barnes, Ward, WoodruH
and Wadsworth were not rejected by
their own districts and have not sur
fered as vet much damage from any re-
volt occasioned by their stand. Mr.. Sher-
man is not only defeated by his own
ueighbors. but the hold of his organiZa-
tion upon his county is damaged beyond
renair. And the President will
have TO bear the brunt Of what is going
to happen in the coming convention.
aome surprise has been felt that the
Hice-President permitted himself to lie
involved in the way in which he has.
In the preliminary lineup during the
legislative session he was not associated
with the "old guard" Sut eXerted some
influence in support of the Hughes poll
cies and appeared TO cast in his lot with
Senator Root and the Representatives
from New York in Washington who
sought 10 have Senator Hinman elected
leader of the Republicans in the state
Senate and who aimed TO effect reor-
ranization Of the state committee. in
volvinc. with Mr.. Tafts approval, the
retirement of State Chairman Woodruff.
His position at that time was perhaps
intermediate between the two faction' :,
with an apparent leaning toward the
reorganiZers. The most plausible eN-
PLANTATION We have heard Of the clrcum-
stances which swept him into his pres
ent position at the head and front or
the "old guard" campaign was that he
took the nomination for temporary
chairman in the honest belief that har-
mony would thus be best promoted. He
saw. SO ii is asserted. that the "old
guard was determined not TO accept
Mr.. Roosevelt for temporary chairman,
and hoped that his own selection would
be more acceptable 10 tne ffogfeSSlNeS
that that OF any other man whom it
was likely TO name.
If he hoped to effect harmony he was
speedily disillusionized and his friends
must agree that he made mistake in
not declining TO serve as soor as he
saw that harmony would not result and
that he and hfs Office would be drawn
into q factional fight. The Tribune. as
soon as the situation developed. urged
him to decline TO serve. 1t Is sorry that
he did not see fit to follow its advice.
II is glad that he has been beaten at
home. and yet it cannot withhold a GER
tain admiration for the grim way in
which. without explanations or crying
for quarter, he has taken the shots
meant for the "old guard skulking be
bind him in a fight in which he had
nothing to gain and a great deal TO Lose.

SIGNS OF WINTER.

Hardly had the last straw hat been
reduced to a shapeless mass at Coney
Island. Or in the seclusion Of the dress
ing room exchanged for something more
appropriate TO the latter half Of Sep
tember, than signs of the approach of
winter became visible From Winnipeg
comes the report that the wild animals
there are making unusual preparations
for the siege: from other sections we
learn that the heavy covering Of husks
ever the ears i'm the farmers cornfield
presages a heavy demand upon the coal
supply. The New Yorker is not IA
miliar with these portents. but there are
others which he knows all too well.
For with the approach of Indian sum-
mer begins the trek of the "hobo' from
the highways and byways toward that
great haven for the mendicant, the
METROPOLIS. 1t seems that the larger
the city the greater the opportunity for
the man who will not work and whose
sole purpose In life is TO collect the
living which the world does not owe TO
him. but which it cannot well refuse,
TO impose upon the generosity Of his
fellows. Already the report comes that
along the Erie Railroad swarms of
tramDs may bc found with their faces
set toward the morning. Not only are
they making trouble for the railroad
employees, stealing rides and plundering
merchandise cars. but the farmers in
some sections live in a condition ap-
preaching terror These knights of the
read not only make themselves free
with poultry house and larder, but they
now and then hold up travellers on the

THE CASE OF SENATOR VAIN
WRIGHT

It is a hopeful sign that the plan Of
the Westchester County machine TO deny
q denomination to Senator J. Mayhem
Wainwright should arouse the indignant
protest now making itself heard in the
Hudson River towns. The time was not
SO very long ago when a machine like
William L. Wards could discipline" an
independent and honest public servant,
and that was the end Of it. But it will
not be the end of it if the Ward machine
carries out its present purpose to punish
Mr.. Wainwright for his refusal 10 be
subservient Already there are signs Of
a revolt. and the machine in Westchester
may expect in the near future what the
machine in Onieda County got Tuesday.
Mr.. Wainwright's only fault in the
view of the machine is his independence.
He has consistently supported Governor
Hughes, while the man with whom the
machine proposes to displace him has
been a persistent opponent Of the Gov
ernor and q serviceable adjutant of
Speaker Wadsworth. His nomination and
the enforced retirement of Mr. Vain
wright will be an affront TO the best
sentiment of the district. Senator VAIN
wright deserves the support which is
coming to him. not only because of the
progressive spirit which he has shown
at Albany. but also because he has been
an exceptionally useful legislator, who
could be relied upon to vote intelligently
ana conscientiously upon measures before
the Senate. His greatest public service
Mr.. John Mitchell, the labor leader,
called attention to in letter published
in yesterdays Tribune. That is bis work
as chairman Of the commission which in
vestigated the question Of the employers
liability and drew up the present statute
upon the subject. and Mr.. Wainwrights
displacement in the face Of his good rec
ord would undoubtedly make the labor
vote of Westchester County resentful.
Failure TO renominate him will weaken
the Republican party in Westchester
County in a year when it will not be
well TO take chances.

Committee, has labored vallantly 10

II is unfortunate that a legislator eX-
ceptionally useful 10 the country at large
should have so antagonized the senti-
ment Of his district as TO make defeat
inevitable. Mr. Tawney sacrificed him
self through his inability to see that his
own work had constituted him power
in the House and had assured him free
use of his abilities and judgment lie
preferred TO think that he owed what he
was TO the favor of the Speaker and the
House organization rather than TO his
own capacity and the support OF his
constituency. The people of his district
and state had shown that they wanted
the House rules amended and the e1ces-
sive powers of the Speaker moderated
But Mr.. Tawney mistakenly cast his lot
with the old system. defying the pro-
cressive sentiment Of the voters at
home. and that defiance was fatal In
spite Of his high qualifications his dis
trict set him aside because Of a f1agrant
error of political Judgment.
No other member of the House had a
larger opportunity than was offered last
winter TO Mr.. Tawney. He could have
put himself at the head of the move
ment TO liberalize the rules and do away
with Cannonism and could have got a
large share of the credit for the I'M
nortant nolitical reform which was ac-
complished against his opposltlon. IL Is
a pity that he could not have seen then
what everybody sees to-day ana thus
have avoided paying the penalty whicn

Representative James A. Tawney'
