NM AYOR OTTO WITTPENN, of Jersey City, has decided to be
VV)\ a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor,
and is expected to make formal announcement tomorrow
and thereafter enter upon a primary campaign. Mayor Wittpenn
enjoys a large popularity in Jersey City and Hudson county and as
a gubernatorial candidate will undoubtedly poll a big majority
in the county primaries. How he will run for the nomination in the
rest Of the State is problematical, as also are his chances in these
counties for election in November. But the fact is encouraging to
the Democratic leaders that this year a candidate for governor
doesn't have to be searched for. There are voluntary offerings all
over the State.

MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 20. 1910.


1TTa HE railroad law is now an accomplished fact, giving to the
Interstate Commerce Commission absolute power over rail
road rates of all kinds. The commission can suspend any
rates promulgated by the railroads, If they have not gone into effect
and by investigation determine and fix the rates on some equitable
basis. With this power definitely lodged in the Interstate Commerce
Commission there should now be no question as to what the
commissions duty is in respect to passenger fares on the roads lead
ING into Manhattan. The State administration has taken no action
except that of arranging for a formal complaint to the commission
and no other action need now be expected. All dependence is now
upon the Federal commission. VIII the commission act?

..EniI Car, signs.

To the, Editor of the Evening Star:
One of the most beneficent ordinances
passed by the city fathers for some
time is that making the use of full
car" signs imperative. The ordinance
is fine; but 10Y frequently observed!
On the Broad street lines during rush
hours the signs are put up with COM
mendable promptness. On the Spring
field lines, however, particularly during
the morning rush, where are the signs?
The funniest paradox / have observed
in some time was a car on that line
crowded to the outside limit, a police
mar standing near the motorman, and
no sign al all. OF course the policeman
must have been off duty or something
OF that sort.

Permitting a decent interval to
elapse after the ceremonies attendant
upon the death OF the king, the Eng
fish militant s~uffragettes reopened
their campaign in London Saturday
with a parade two miles long That the
function was successful goes without
saying. as forty bands-4o-parttci-
pated. The prison squad, including 800
women who have been Jailed for the
cause, attracted considerable attention.
With so many bands In line the move
ment begins to look business-l like
1t is related of an intelligent-looking
young man who landed on the shores
Of Manhattan from Ellis Island Satur-
day and who, after he had inquired and
was told the cause of the excitement,
asked: Who is Mr. Roosevelt?" The
list of things Mr.. Roosevelt Is or Is
supposed to be was gone over, but the
of him. 1t is doubtful If he would have
been permitted to enter the country at
all had his ignorance in this particular
been known to the authorities
July First approaches with all the
certainly of July Fourth. The latter
day is to be occasion of more or less
safe and sane rejoicing, and the former,
unless some one In authority does some
thing, will resolve itself into a day of
mourning. The railway companies have
set the initial day of next month as the
time to begin boosting passenger rates.
The protest of outraged commuters
swells in volume, but some prominent
persons appeal to be unable to hear it.
The first passenger airship, the
Deutschland, makes it's initial Journey
from Friedrichshafen to Dusseldorf and
return Tuesday. The first trips are
fully booked. The cabin of the big
dirigible is said to be magnificent. A
fully equipped restaurant service is in
cluded in the equipment. The ship has
a lifting capacity of $4,000 pounds. All
of which. since 1t concerns the begin
ming of a passenger service through the
air is wonderfully S~lSnlncant.
Now that welcoming functions are
the order of the day, why not prepare
a warm and enthusiastic welcome to
Arizona n New Mexico, which are
about to be admitted to the sisterhood
of States? The Senate amendments to
the statehood bill providing for con-
gressional supervision of the constitu-
tons of the two new States insures
their responsibility. and it will take
them no time to live down their pic
turesque and lawless past.
Another "Hindoo seer" is in trouble
in New York. This alleged wise man
from the east is in more serious diff
culties than those which have at times
beset some of his predecessors. He is
charged with murder. Accounts of
their troubles regularly recur in the
news of the day. indicating that the
business continues to be a profitable
one. Their appeal is made to an intelli-
gent class in the metropolis, and there's
a paradox for you.

ders' visit in response to an invi-
tation from our police jury. At
10 a. IN. the pupils of the Colfax
high school 200 strong appeared
on Railroad Avenue and passed I'D
review before Gov. Sanders, In
front of the store of j. w. Dun
can Co. A procession at that point
was then formed, headed by Mayor
Carnahan and Marshal Irwin and
the Colfax Brass Band, and Gov.
Sanders, accompanied by members
of the town council, police jurors
and other citizens followed by the
school children, marched in parade
by way of the Baptist and Meth
odist churches to the court house.
The crowd appearing too great for
the seating capacity of the court
house, Prof. WEIGH disbanded the
larger portion of his pupils and
sent the smallest children to their
homes. the day being given over
as a holiday.
Mr.. j. w. Duncan called the
meeting to order promptly at IL
O'Clock, and Attorney j. B. Rob-
erts was asked to introduce the
Governor, which be did in few
we'll chosen remarks. Gov. San
ders was at his best, and appeared
to enlist the interest aud approval
of his audience at the very outset
of his speech. He spoke for all
hour and half, aud the frequent
applause that punctpated his re-
marks attested the fact that his
views met general favor. His ar
guments for having good roads of
course cannot be refuted, but all
hands we're surprised that 80 much
could be said on the subject, and
that it could be said in such an
interesting aud attractive manner.
The Governor particularly ampli-
fed the fact that we all now pay
a heavy road tax, and that the ques-
ton simply resolved itself into
whether we would Systematically
pay a small tax and have good
roads, or whether we would con-
tinue to pay big tax and continue
to keep our same old bad roads.
His humorous and ironical way of
stating the situation made his ar
gument very fo-cible, and none
were SO blind as not to be able
to see and clearly understand his
proposition. Briefly stated, his
position is this: That people eau
only have good roads who pay for
them and build them systematical-
ly and on correct principles; that
like the building of bridges and
school houses, it should be gone
4
about in business like wsy--levy
a tax to get your funds, and then
employ a competent builder to do
your work.
One remarkable point brought
out by the Governor was the fact
that the farmers of Grant parish
would only pay 10 per cent of any
road tax that may be levied, and
that non-residents, timber owners
bankers, merchants, etc., would
pay 80 per cent. Winn and Vern.
on he said were the only other
parishes In the State where this
condition of affairs existed.
The Governor gave a great dea,
of practical information as how {
number of things can be done, ane
the great economy that can be eff
fected by systematic work in thu
right direction, and his visit t.
Grant has given the cause of gooc
roads in this parish an impetu,
that will surely be for the materia
benefit and progress of our peopl,
in road building.
