Lucky He Stuck to His Opinion.
Pride of opinion is perhaps the most
common fault of us fairly educated
and intelligent moderns. We form our
judgments and then, as 1t were, defy
any one to change them. 1t is said
that no one has ever been converted
by abstract argument.
At the time of the great disaster in
Martinique the Italian bark Orsolina
was taking on a cargo of sugar there.
Hel captain was accustomed to volca-
noes, and he did not like the appear
ance of Mont Pelee. Not half his
cargo was on board, but he decided to
sail for home.
1The volcano is all right" argued
the shippers. Finish your loading"
81 don't know anything about Mont
Pelee." said the captain, but If Vesu-
vius looked that way I'd get out of
Naples, and I'm going to get right out
of here"
The shippers threatened him with
arrest. They sent customs officers to
'detain him, but the captain persisted
in leaving. Twenty-four hours later
the shippers and the customs officers
lay dead in the ruins Of st. Pierre

"soft Pedal conssrvation.v


There is a type of man who is for a
thin and yet does not want 1t. He
has vaded the conservation move
ment. Clifford Pinchot calls him the
soft pedal conservationist." He Is
the chap, who Is ever finding obstacles
or who thinks the thing should be done
in some other way. He is for the
cause, but You know the line of his
talk. HE'S constantly seeking to
restrain or discredit or retard those
who are heart and soul for conserva-
ton. Why? If he is for the cause
why 50 much of the soft pedall Why
not train his guns on its enemies rath-
er than on its friends7
President Taft advises conservation
lists to point out specific evils and spe-
ctfc remedies. That is well. He also
discourages "rhapsodies"' on the move
ment. Why the use of the term? 1t
looks like a reflection on somebody.
Did be have in mind Pinchot or ioose-
welt, the two men who brought the
movement into existence2 No cause
was ever won without enthusiasm, and
enthusiasm often begets "rhapsodies."
What harm is in them7 They hbut
serve to show that the men who Utter
them are in earnest. Even rhapsodies
are better than half hearted apologies
or yelled attacks, FOR it is not only true
that no cause Is ever won without en-.
thusiasm, but 1t is also true that nc
cause is ever won by people who dc
not want it to win.

WOODROW WILSON is
ELECTED GOVERNOR

the complete returns for Middlesex
county, does not contain the returns
from the second poll in East Bruins
wick township. AS the majorities are
so great, however, this can make no
difference in the result.
The returns show that Wilson car
ried Middlesex county by 1912 and
Scully carried Middlesex by 2,011.
Congressman Ira Wood, running
in the fourth district has been re-
elected.
Union county is in doubt. At 8
o'clock this morning it looked as if
Calvin e. Brodhead, democrat for
assembly, has won by a small ma
jority. 1t looks as if Mclaughlin.
another democratic assemblyman, al
so polled through. Thompson, a re-
publican, seems to be the third man
elected.
From the first returns received it
was evident that Wilson had been
elected. The democratic majorities
kept piling up while the republican
s~trongholds showed a falling off. The
counties that were counted on to pull
Lewis through fell down completely.
The republicans had depended upon
Essex county to stand by them,
but Wilson got a majority of
10000 there. In Hudson county
Wilson was given a majority of 49,
600. This seemed to settle the mat
ter, but as late as IL o'clock Secre-
tary Gray, of the Republican State
Committee refused to concede Will
sons election, declaring that the
country districts would give Lewis
a small~plarality. 1t began to look
dark for the republicans when the re-
turns from West Windsor township
in Mercer county, a republican
stronghold, were received. A voting
machine was used there and the re-
turns shoMed~44ewis 161 and Wilson
ia. This was a majority for the
republican candidate, but it was a
falling off of thirty-three votes for
the republican ticket. If such a
showing was made where the republic
cans expected to stand strong, it was
evident that Lewis would have hard
work to pull through.
But the returns from the country
districts showed little difference in
the general trend. South Jersey was
the first to send in it's figures and
while the republicans carried every
thing, as usual, the majorities were
small and not sufficient to Overhaul
ance the big vote rolled up for Will
son in the northern counties.
Even Passaic, Lewis's home coun-
ty seemed to go back on him. The
seven districts in the city of Passaic.
which have voting machines, gave
Lewis a plurality of 1880. The same
districts gave Fort a plurality of l.
277. Being Lewis's home county,
Passaic was expected to do better
than this. The returns were slow in
Passaic, but it was evident that the
republicans were greatly disappoint-
ed. e'
Paterson came up to the scratch
with big Lewis pluralities. Lewis is
popular at home and his friends raj
lied to his support nobly. 1t was
plainly a ase of sentiment, however,
for the Silk City was almost the only
real backing the republican candi-
date got in North Jersey.

moving the voters everywhere. Ii
very truth 1t means the beginning OF
a better day in American politics.
Literally there Is a new south. The
census returns are showing phenome-
nal gains for her cities, new industries
are s%pringing up and calling for labor,
and, best Of all, the south Is meeting
the new problems Of corporation con-
troll and is solving them in an intelli-
gent and patriotic way.
One of the most recent examples of
southern progressiyeness is the triumph
Of Hoke Smith In Georgia. The hon.
orable Hoke was once in Cleveland'S
cabinet and resigned because he could
not agree with his chief on Bryan. II
was then that all the photographers in
the country had fun with flis name.
The fact that he triumphed despite the
lame showed that there was stuff In
him. Afterward he concluded that
the railroads were having too much
say In Georgia politics and ran for
governor on an anti-corporation plat
form. He won, but after one term the
railroads beat him for denomination
and put in joe Brown, whom Smith
had removed from the railroad com
mission. But the honorable Hoke was
one of the politicians who could come
back. This year he beat Brown for
the nomination. Brown was not salts
fed with one drubbing and ran as an
Independent candidate. Hoke beat
him again worse than before. In the
cleanup two Cannon Democratic con-
gressmen lost their Jobs.
A similar condition is found in other
southern states. In a current maya
zine Judson G. Weliiver, who is u
of the stanchest progressive newspa-
per men In the country, has referred
In complimentary terms to the princi-
pies advocated by former Governor
Vardaman in Mississippi, to the work
done by Governor Conner In Alabama,
to the fight for decency made by for
mer Governor Folk In Missouri and to
progressive achievements In many 9th
ell southern states. Especially Is he
warm In his praises of the antitrust
laws Of Arkansas and Texas, the ad-
vanced constitution of Oklahoma and
the defeat of the special interests
brought about by the late Governor
Broward of Florida. Broward's death
was especially sad for the reason that
he had just won out in his fight for
United States senator. One of the
examples of progressive southern tend
encies cited by Mr.. Welliver IS the
recent adoption by Arkansas of the
Initiative and referendum.
The progressive cause Is country
wide and has invaded all parties. A
conspicuous evidence of it is the an
swer OF Woodrow Wilson, the Demo
cratic candidate for governor Of New
Jersey, to the letter Of George L. Rec
ord, a leader of the new idea" Re
p~ubiicans. In this answer Professor
Wilson frankly and completely in
dorses practically every progressive
principle. including physical valuation
of railroads, direct nominations anti
bosslsm and other advanced ideas agt-
tatfrg not only New Jersey. but the
nation.
The truth is that the tide OF the
whole country Is setting toward the
n~rogressvie shore, and It catches and

Tariff Responsible For High Prices.

~ ttSefSS
After an extensive s~ojourn in Eu-
rope, Frank A. Munsey, the newspaper
and magazine publisher, recently re-
turned to this country to issue an elab-
orately worked out statement to the
effect that the tariff is responsible for
high prices In America. The conclu-
sion came with the more telling effect
for the reason that Mr.. Munsey sought
to justify the tariff on the ground that
it was demanded by the w~orkingmen
to Increase wages. In other words, he
is an advocate of the tariff and yet adj
mits that 1t is to blame for the present
ruinous cost Of living.
AS to the increase of wages,~the tes-
timony is universal that it has by no
means kept pace with the increase of
prices. Investigations have been con-
Quoted in various cities, and,the general
result shows that In practically. every
case the cost of living has advanced
two or three times as much as the
scale of wages. The average showing
is an increase of 20 per cent in wages
and Of 90 per cent in prices of the nee
essaries Of life.
There is one factor that Mr.. Munsey
left out of his calculations. Combina-
tons and trusts have also contributed
to this artificial increase in the cost OF
living. Secretary Wilson and every
other unbiased investigator has come
to that conclusion. But the tariff, at
least in some degree, is responsible for
the combinations and trusts, so is
doubly at fault.
Mfr, Munsey also found that prices
are much higher here than abroad.
That Is an added proof.

comical name given to a fight between
an English force and a French detach-
ment not far from Orleans In 1929.
The English were conveying a large
quantity Of supplies, mainly behring's,
for 1t was Lent, to the army that was
besieging Orleans. The English had
1900 men, the French 6,000. The for
mer repulsed the assailants and saved

a Missr's Luxury,

There was a Middlesex couple once
who lived on a sum to shock the most
reckless of our correspondents. Daniel
Dancer was the man. He looked on
saving as an art and saved for arts
sake. His father left him a farm and
eighty acres, and his sister helped him
carry out his scheme of life. He let
the land lie fallow, says the London
Gest. 1t costs money to cultivate land.
For food the couple believed in one
day, one meal. The batch of dump
lings baked on a Saturday lasted out
the week. For clothing he depended
on hay bands "swathed round his feet
for boots and round his body for a
coat" But Daniel had a weakness.
He would buy a clean shirt each year.
And out of this arose the tragedy of
his nfe-a lost lawsuit over three
pence which, in Daniels judgment, the
shirt seller had ~wrongfHliy pocketed.
He died ia 1874 worth $4,000 a year.
