HISTORY MAY REPEAT ITSELF.

It'd ENJAMIN B. ODELL, JR, former governor OF New York
eH y and successor of the late Senator Platt in the Republican
State leadership, from which he was in his turn deposed,
saws hard things of Roosevelt in an interview in a Paris newspaper
OdeiI Is abroad and out of the political swim, but his sympathies
go out to the old gang in which he was once the leading spirit
What Odel says in Paris is said with even greater bitterness by
the regular leaders in New York. 1t was with perfect sincerity
the wish was expressed when Roosevelt departed for Africa that
every lion would do his duty. The animosty that stirred the New
York Stalwarts against Garfield and Blaine during the Garfield
administration and brought about the colossal Republican defeat
in the election for governor did not exceed the feeling of the New
York reactonaries towards Roosevelt at the present time. Gar
sGelds favor to Blaine enraged the Stalwarts. Taft has been
scounted on to stand by the reaetonaries against Roosevelt, and
Taft has failed them in one instance. If Taft shall go over to
Roosevelt and the Progressives, will not history repeat itself?

ACKNOWLEDGMENT IN COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

ira sSEX COUNTY has a welldeserved reputation > ne nUse
slEz enlightened and progressive community In New Jersey Ano
average of intelligence and culture is In Essex ne hlghes'
in the State. 1t seems incomprehensible, therefore, that the people
of the county should have so long endured the mlsmanagement III
worse that has been exhibited in the government OF the county
institutions. and especially of the county hospital for the insane.
TTme a when the insane were kept promiscuously in the old
Camden street barracks, which also was a resort for county poll
lficians. The conscience of the community revolted at TINS oarpar-
ism and the asylum building on South Orange avenue was erected,
M 10 without contract scandals. Under freeholder control the
ASYLUM passed through repeated exposures of graft, lncompetency'
abuse of patients and other scandals. The change of location TO
Overlook presented a rich opportunity for graft, and the evidence
l. that if was not neglected. The discovery of the blackened corpse
of a patient hidden in the loft of the abandoned asylum bullding
and the shamefuny mixed asylum records told of things long hldden
Prom te public knowledge. Affairs have since gone from bad to
morse Nearly tbe whole medical staff of the institution are under
charges of some kind, and the freeholder board is to hire a special
counsel to defend itself in a suit by DR.. Dill to recover his forfeited
lob al medical director. Public sentiment in Essex county is thor
Hnuohlv disgusted with this maladministration in county affairs and
is prepared to welcome and support a radical change. And the
sooner the change comes the better.

RxAcTNd TRLBUTE FRoM TIE STRANGER

J1 N the old days when New Jersey was fippantly referred to as
+ the estate of Camden and Amboy" New Jersey was discred1ted
in other States by its system of taxing the properties OF the
United Railroads, now embraced in the Pennsylvania Railroad sys-
tenn. The tax was assessed according to the amount of business
done BY the railroad and there were no other property taxes. rms
system was misunderstood and misrepresented abroad. 1t was
made to appear that New Jersey exacted tribute on railroad tray
elers in the State. Much injury was done to the fair fame of New
Jersey. The refusal by the Legislature this year to give reciprocity
iuautomobile travel to other States that offered it to New Jersey
nm their laws has placed the State in a position analogous to that IN
Camden and Amboy days. The State is slurred and der1ded abroad
for its highwayman tribute from motorist travellers from other
States. And with some show of justice this time. But while the
injury in the former case was only a moral one, the present injury
is both moral and material The State not only loses SIN character,
hut also in substance. New Jersey motorists are many and they
have to pay full fare in other States. Thousands OF motorists OF
these States avoid New Jersey in their motoring, with consequent
less for many interests in the State, as well as injury to the state
in material ways. New Jersey has factory sites and residential sec
lions TO be developed, seaside resorts to build up. To attract the
stranger to New Jersey the State is building an expensive ocean
boulevard and constructing an inland waterway through South Jer-
sew to tap all the coast communities. What, then, is the sense of
d law that penalties the stranger for entering the State?

: Perhaps the only class which an

This is not intended as a defense
Of the calling by which plausible
persons make a better living than
those they take 1t from; yet, and
at the same time, It affords posi-
tive pleasure occasionally to listen
to the musical murmurings Of a
man who wishes to sell something
he does not possess. because of the
rarity OF the rapidly disappearing
graces of which he has such an
abundance.
The public, which has begun to
get over its pleasure In being bun
coed, may have this excuse for tax
ing to the middle of the street
when it meets a sincere man who
is also courteous in the extreme,
but 1t does seem a shame that when
1t is so admittedly nice to be nice

why BLOOMFIELD Want a Change.

Why Wants a Change.
To the Editor of the Evening star:
The article which appeared in your
columns over a week ago headed In

a stir, SO much SO that some Of h
trusted leaders in the insurgent camp
HE'D themselves home, not 30 much to
remedy existing evils as to see whether
party fences needed to be strengthened.
No greater compliment could be paid
your paper than to notice the careful
reading the article in question received
from the thinking public. There is not
any question but that the people OF
Bloomfield are ready for a change In
the personnel of our local government.
1t is a sad thought, that the continu-
ance of men in public Office does not
work for the good of the public so
so much as for the individuals. We
have been struggling for I don't know
how many years to obtain new depots
on the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad. II the local author1-
ties had exercised their own win there
would have been q depot only at the
centre. The people stepped in and had
their say, and 30 we have two depots
and other marked improvements. The
local government (while the town is in

Quite an amount is still on hand be-
cause 1t Is utterly impossible to ac-
quire any kind of a title to some of

that a business administration could

THE GEORGIA PRIMARIES.

OKE SMITH, defeated for governor of Georgia two years ago.
aI7l won a signal triumph in the Democratic primaries yester
- day over Governor Brown, who defeated him in the former
eeIection. In Georgia a Democratic primary nomination is equiva
lent to an election. In the primaries yesterday there was also a
slaughter of the Democratic congressman who in Congress gave
aid to Speaker Cannon when he needed Democratic assistance.
styannonism was made the issue in the districts of these men. The
Republican congressman has some excuse for having obeyed the
orders of Speaker Cannon, regardless of the nations best interests.
These recreant Democrats have no excuse, and we'll deserve to be
driven out of public life.

FOWLER'S DOUBLE CANDIDACY.

sN1 CONGRESSMAN FOWLER, of the Fifth district, is now
formally entered in the race for the Republican nomi
nation for United States senator. Mr.. Fowler has been
erecting fences in his district for denomination as congressman.
Can a man have two candidacy strings to his bow? And if SO, is
lie, not likely to weaken himself by dividing himself between his
district and the State at large? Both candidates. are within the
party ranks and for a party primary choice. If one fails, the other
may win. But where two different objects are sought at the same
time one is calculated to interfere with the other. The outlook is
not promising for Fowler either in the district or the State. 1t
would be better for him, therefore, to concentrate his energies on
one object.
