WOODROW WILSON THE TEACHER.

NA7 ooDRoW WILSON, no longer president of Princeton M
WV yersity, is now Invested of the character that mas given
so much ofense to Trust Attorney John W. Grggs. me
"schoolmaster" has resigned, but the teacher remains. III lie
brief time that Woodrow Wilson has had a hearttoheart talk witt
the people of New Jersey he has taught more truths and impressed
more minds than any public speaker ever did before In TINS state
Without borrowing any arts. without any appeal to passion or
prejudice, without invectiye or personalities, and without the least
bit of uneharitableness, Woodrow Wilson is going about speaking
TO the consciences of men. uttering truths that his opponents have
to counterfeit, and leaving an impress that will long onuast NIL
campaign. That campaign has proved an inspiration to the people
of New Jersey. 1t has given life and vitality TO principles III h"u
been morjbund: it has taught new and higher ideals; it is a solemn
call to duty. Woodrow Wilson will as surely be elected Governor
Of New Jersey as the coming of election day. 1t Is only a question:
of majority. TC believe otherwise would be a reflection upon lntelli
gence and public spirit in this State. 1t is seldom that a state
gets the credit abroad, as New Jersey now does, for such a canal
dacy. Woodrow Wilson as candidate for Governor OF New Jersey
has riveted attention upon the State and raised it in the estma
ton of the people of the country. His addresses are not only ecu
eating the people of New Jersey, but are exercising a marked IN
duence in other States. The standards he sets up are for the bet
terment of State government everywhere. The pupils OF me cand
)dateteacher are not all of this State.

To the Editor of the Evening Star.
Having friends in the adpgrtiHfng
business I can realize and appreciate
the valuable assistance given by the
EVENING STAR TO the work. OF that
splendid body, the Newark A~ntf<Thber-
culosis Association. By reading the
EVENING STAR l learned for the
first time when the sale of the Red
Cross Christmas stamps is to start. In
fact, through your paper chiefly, / have
kept posted on the movements and
growth of the association in Newark.
All people can help in this worthy
cause. Ten cents worth of these
Christmas seals is the least that can
be done by every one in this city. The
children-from whom many things are
learned-do not have to be urged to
sacrifice the loss of a little candy In
order to help stamp out the white
plague. There are many people repre-
senting good causes who are asking
aid today, but none more worthy than
this. If you cannot recall someone n
your family who was taken from you
by this malady you cannot be cure
that it will never enter your home. So
let us all help in the work of eliminat-
ing this c~emetery-filler by swelling the
receipts from the sale of Christmas
stamps. So FQ O.

Favor. newark Aviation Meet.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
There is a constant cry and rightly,
too, for hotel facilities worthy of our
big town. And, OF course, we will
have one-some day. There was a loud
cry that I we'll mem for a public
park system. n now we have one
that is second to none in the country.
In other words. we have some of the
features of a hrst-class modern city
OF these great United States, and then
there are some we have rot.
Among those things that are for
eign to Newark in the way of bring
ing it to the front among American
cities, it has just struck me. is an
aviation meet. \ Where are there
any better means of carrying out
a alloo or airship enterprise, such
as nave advertised other cities to the
world? The absence of a big hotel
would e nothing. because the crowd
would be of such a kim hat our
present accommodations in this line
would do.
Everybody knows that the spirit OF
invention and the owe for mechanics
are nowhere stronger than right here in

is because election is coming, maybe
not; but nevertheless sidewalk obstruc-
tons are still around, and this time it

Certain Market and Broad street mer-

sidewalks till they are ready to take
them in, which in a great many i'm
stances Is in the evening, just when the
working people are on their way 10
their homes. This, l think, is more OF
a nuisance than the display cases of
the merchants who have been raided.

merchants who want their cases back

about two hours between the time

Tired of Walking Delegates.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
l have read with considerable III
terest in your public opinion column
the discussion so tar between Past
Master" and M. NJ. P. IT," in the mat
ter of trouble with the musicians in
the Holy Name parade some weeks
ago. So far it would appear that Past
Master takes the sensible side of the
matter n has the pest of the argu-
ment.
| am not an adherent of any religion,
l am ashamed to state. but am Il
union labor man, being a member and
an ex-officer in a prominent Newark
labor organization. l wish to say this,
II Past Master belongs to such an
organization as he claims his is, then
l will pray hereafter that our local
organizations will become likewise. To
be more candid than is expected from
a union man, will say not only for
myself, but for at east rs per cent. OF
all sensible labor ~unionists, that we are
all tired of the present management
of our local labor organizations. l, for
one, am opposed to paying "tithes' to-
wards keeping alive our various walk
ing delegates whose salaries are toe
high, and the hardest work they have
is passing the day Chewing" the rag
in some gin-mill.
The money / am forced to pay
for the maintenance of a loafer, l could
use to better advantage towards some
little delicacy for my young children.
And, don't forget it, there are thou
sands of others who would like 10
bring home some little extra eatings'
to gladden. children's hearts, but we
can't. If it is not paying the ''tithes'
aforesaid. we are forced at times to
lose time because some pig-headed del
egate takes you off If a job and gen

has to do something to show for his

As to the Holy Name parade. and
while l voice my disapproval of any

Another light ON dispute.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The discussion in your Peoples
Rostrum' column on the subject of
the trouble between the musicians and
tho Holy Name Society is to say the
leastfather queer. Past Master" and
III ~. p. p" are undoubtedly both
Ua1f5H labor men. yet they disagree
on che particular point most vital to
labor men in the achievement Of their
demands.
TIN Past Master gentleman's union,
it would seem, does not go about the
adjustment of their demands, as do
local labor unions, viz. I'VE want en-
increase in wages of so per cent, and
several men discharged who do not be-
long to our union, or we will quit on
the spot or in language more impera-
lively unreasonable. /On the contrary
It would appear that he railway men
use tact, business methods and intelli-
gence to C their demands. 1 am

any labor union unless it is founded on
such principles as Past Master says
the railway unions are. 1t is encourag-
ing to know that there is one labor Or
ganization which works on the princi-
pie of receiving justice but giving jus
tice in return-no hold-ups being rom
sidered on either side. OPEN SHOP.

To the Editor or the Evening Star:
The city has just had an experience
in fighting forest fires, which. while
rather expensive as a starter, will
doubtless furnish valuable knowledge
for future seasons when fires of this
nature are most to be feared. The ex-
p~erience of the past week should teach
the city to adopt protective measures
in the watershed district, where thou
sands of dollars worth of valuable
timber has been destroyed within the
past week,
The country can i'll afford to lose any
of its standing timber. but the need Of
safeguarding the trees in a watershed
section is so great in conserving the
water supply that every precaution
should be taken to keep these destruc-
tive forest fires frcm gaining Roadway.
In New York and other States there
are regularly organized forces to fight
and prevent such fires. and the city,
now that it controls such a valuable
timber land, could do little less thar
protect 1t from destruction.
1t is to be hoped that another season
will find the city prepared to meet these
conditions and cope with them. Moth
ing but the rain of the past twenty
four hours saved the watershed from
suffering almost incalculable loss.

MR.. GNYCHTEL,S CHANGING VIEWS.

XVI X. GNICHTEL wobbles. He says now that he really is not
IWl\ opposed to municipal docks. for which he had previously
declared he would sign no bonds, but that he wants
the people to know the cost before they embark in ii. And, pray,
who can tell? Dock and meadow improvement is not like build
ing a schoohouse. Mr.. Gnichtel must logically be opposed to the
trunk sewer for the same identical reason. His objection TO dock
development is the objection by Paterson that has halted sewer
building so long. If Mr.. Gnnchtel is elected mayor he will sign no
bonds to pay Newarks share Of the cost until the Sewerage Com
mission has ciphered out the actual cost. But Mr.. Gnichtel wob-
bles. In a day or two he may have other and different views on
the same subject. But the real views of Mr.. Gnlchtel were given
when his campaign began and before he realized that he was

TT n common with f~ortyfour other Republican candidates for the
Legislature, the eleven Republican Assembly candidates IN
FL Essex make no answer to the questions put by the Com
nuters' League in regard to a public utilities bill and the qnes-
ton of rates. On the other hand. as many Democratic candidates
have returned affirmative replies to the league and stand pledged
on this vital question. More than enough Republican candidates TO
control the next Legislature refuse to give any pledge to the Com
muters' League. In the face of that fact what does the attitude
of the governor signify? The governor may desire certain legls
lation, but cannot force it even by the use of the executive patron
The public has had some recent demonstrations of that fact.
His power of veto is practically nil. The position taken by the
fftyfye Republican legislative candidates shows, indeed, that these
candidates are acting under orders from headquarters. 1t is evil
dence that the State committee has them completely in control
even before election. What, then, can be expected of them after
the election?

A MlsDRECTED NEW YORK CAMPAIGN.

IT'D OOSEvELT'S appearance in Manhattan last night, and espe-
i'm cially on the east side, was so sensational in it's effect that
the metropolitan newspapers that have made him the issue
of the campaign may be now inclined TO question the wisdom of
an issue that was plainly forced by the opponents of Roosevelt of
his own party. The Democratic campaign in New York had mag
nifcent material in the Payne Aldrch tariff and its high prices,
the corruption at Albany and the crying scandals in State govern
ment. On these questions the State was bound to go Democratic.
But by a strange faulty these questions are put in the background
and the Democratic campaign is practically dictated by antiRoose-
welt Republicans and run on a personal Issue growing out of Re
publican party dissensions.
