A MESSAGE AND AN ADDRESS.

lcTa WO State papers that are to appear in January will be OF wide
interest in the State. One will be the salutatory OF the
Governor elect and the other the valedictory of the outgoing
Eovernor. The inaugural address of Governor Wilson will look
Horward, while that of Governor Fort will be retrospective. 1t will
ideal in general with the States affairs during the last years admin
Hstration and may in general terms be a review of the administration
Ror the past three years. In one respect, at least, the present admin
Astration has not been a failure. 1t served to arouse the Republican
evoters of the State to a sense of evils that were fastened upon the
party and the abuses that have grown up under party rule at Tren-
Son. Governor Fort could better claim credit for this awakening if
he had kept out of the speaking campaign and not inconsistently
5declared that New Jersey was under the best State government in
the country. The answer of the people to that claim was a round
$4,000 Democratic plurality and a Democratic Assembly. Gov
ernor Wilson'S address will have a national as well as State interest
His extraordinary campaign speeches, all impromptu, with their
Nigor of thought and charm of expression, their knowledge of state
craft and their astonishing versatility are regarded as classics of
campaign literature. We may expect the inaugural address, with
the advantage of generalization, to be one for the people to treasure
Tas the greatest utterance delivered at the Inauguration of a Gov
sermon in New Jersey.

Time to Clean House.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Don't you think it would be a good
thing, really a very consistent thing,
If some of those "~holdovers" from the
old administration would tender their
resignation at the earliest possible mo-
ment, so that our elect, Wood
row Wilson, might have around him
a congenial INC cooperative company ?
Take the attorney general, for in
stance, who made the meanest kind OF
an attack on Woodrow Wilson at the
so-called love FEAST over on the
Shrewsbury some few weeks ago. How
can he have the nerve to serve under
the new administration? And there
are some others in and around the
state House and in other parts OF
the State who have been bitterly often
sfve p%artisans who, you would think,
would be ashamed to retain their pres
ent job. even though it should extend
to 1911 and 1912. r.

By his letter to MI. Lewis, Woodrow
Wilson showed the kind of a mar he
Is. 1t is not very often that two can
didates are on such friendly
terms as these two were, and it must
be admitted that since DIR. Wilson
started on his campaign he set the ex-
ample that Mr.. Lewis so readily fol-
lowed. In his letter the Governor
elect made known his appreciation OF
the courteous treatment he received at
the hands of his opponent and also the
friendly feeling he has for him. Let
US hope that in the future campaigns
the candidates will carry out the prece-
dent set down by these men thai
the mud-slinging sort of campaigning
will altogether disappear from Amer

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Is there a law in this State, similar
to the Callan law in New York, which
makes it a felony for a reckless auto
mobile driver to run away from his
helpless victim? If there is not, the
best thing the next Legislature, which
was certainly elected by the people to
represent them and not the automobile
interests, could do is TO enact one

1t is always a case of either the
driver sneaking off or, if arrested, a
petty fine imposed. When the fine is
paid the speed-fiend laughs, honks an
extra honk and proceeds with the
slaughter of the innocents.
Come to think of it, though, ha! hal
there was once a dentist of this town
who while on a drunk killed a mar
with his auto and wrecked a poor
peddler's wagon. And this merry ex-
tractor of molars, inofsors, etc, re-
ceived the tremendous punishment OF
eighteen months in the penitentiary
from Judge Ten Eyck! Wasn't that

A SUCCESSOR TO JUDGE GRAY.

OVERNOR FORT can make only an adinterim appoint.
Mt ment of a successor to the late George R. Gray as special
judge of the Court of Errors and Appeals. The term ends
March 29, 1915, but the permanent appointment of Judge Gray's
successor must receive the approval of the Senate. As, according
ITO settled rule, Judge Grays successor will be a Democrat, and as
ut is policy to appoint an adinterim judge who can be regularly
appointed by the incoming Governor, it is proper that Governor
Fort should appoint at the suggestion of the Goyernorelect. Judge
kfray was a layman, and it will be in accordance with the intention
Df the State Constitutionmakers for the Governor to choose a lay
IMAM. 1t was John w. Griggs who began the practise of appointing
practising lawyers to this court, although Governor Werts appointed
William Walter Phelps, who, though educated as a lawyer, did not
1ractise. A return to the timehonored rule of lay judges in all
future appointments will please the people of the State, who have
not been edited by the spectacle of judges of the highest court of
abe State practising as attorneys in the courts of the State.

JUDGMENT DAY IN BERGEN.

eTTa HE triangular fight for the county c~lerkship in Bergen has
been settled by the election of the Democratic candidate. The
Democrats also elect the register of deeds and the State
senator. There is just retribution in these results for the Wakelee
regime in Bergen. The office of county register, an unnecessary
lone, was created by act of the Legislature last winter at the in
stigation of Senator Wakeee and Speaker Ward. 1t was created
Nor Ward himself. In the nominations, however, Ward beheld bet
tr chances in the county clerkship. His opponent in the Repub-
Elcan primaries was cheated out of the nomination by tmckery, and
Fin reprisal became an independent candidate. The Democratic can
didate for register pledged himself in the campaign to have the
fofice abolished by the Legislature. In the election Ward was
fbeaten, the Republican candidate for register was beaten and the
Republican senatorial candidate was beaten. Lewis lost the county
by 3036 and Hughes, Democrat, carried it for Congress by 2,700.
This utter rout of the Wakeee regime in Bergen cleans it out.
Wakelee has been a mischievous factor in legislation for years. He
Is a Renaissance now.

No Polite. In improvements.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The election of Mayor Jacob Hauss-
ling to serve the city a third term is
a notice to the Republican Board of
Works that the people want practical
action taken without delay for the de-
yelopment of the meadows and the
waterfront, which has been advocated
so earnestly by the mayor. The cleo
ton of Patrick H. Ryan as a member
Of the Board of Works over Augustus
f. Eggers, who, it was thought, could
not be beaten, is another evidence that
the people are greatly d~lspleased be-
cause the board did not act upon the
repeated and urgent requests of the
Mayor that a start be made in the
great improvement, for the people OF
Newark want to see work on the ship

-Four Corners Crossings.
Editor of the Evening Star:

Az lne Euitor Oh the Evening Star:
Despite repeated protests from many
residents of the city, the street depart
ment still refuses to improve the cross
walks at the -Four Corners" 1t has
been pointed out time and again that
the condition of the streets at the most
important junction in the city is much
worse than at almost any other point;
yet no effort is made to remedy the
situation. New and wider crosswalks
should be laid at all four crossings at
Broad and Market streets and some
attempt should be made to have the
street conditions at this important in
tersecting point / n keeping with the
demands of the city. 1t would be well
to taxi this matter in hand before
winter adds,to the Inconvenience of the
present arrangement. A. w. H.

THE PATERSON EXPOSITION.

IT'D ATERSON lays aside it's regret at the defeat of its favorite
lS son for Governor to engage in a highly creditable exposition
of it's important industries. The manufacture of silk is Pat
ersons great industry and main reliance, and an exposition of that
alone would be of interest enough to attract thousands of strangers
ITO the city. The census of 1900 credited Paterson with 800 Industrial
establishments employing S435104S1 of capital and 10000 wage
earners, with an average product of $52287 ,975. In 1900 Patersons
population amounted to only 105171. In the last ten years there has
been a large industrial growth, as The new census will show. With
such claims to importance in the family of cities Paterson should
not hide its light under a bushel Civic spirit should accompany
rhis growth, and if Paterson has lacked that characteristic in the
past there are good evidences, and among them the present expo
'Eition, of a genuine awakening.

UNDER CIVIL SERVICE RULES NOW.

m S the civil service acts. adopted by the people of the county
HA and city last Tuesday, went into effect at the close of the
polls on Tuesday, when the verdict had been rendered, there
could be no question of official redtape to delay the operation Of
nhe acts. City and county are now on a civil service basis, and will
sremain so. The change comes in with a great Democratic landslide.
ut means for the future the stoppage of the practise of assessing
$ubordinates and laborers in the departments for campaign funds.
Fear of removal for partisan reasons and fear Of the resentment of
party leaders need no longer be held. With a proper administers
'fon of the civil service laws a higher degree of efficiency will be
pbtained. Incompetency will have to compete with competency in
the examinations, while fidelity to duty cannot be punished by
removal from office, as not infrequently has been the case.

advice is freely proffered. If all ad-
vice were blind1y followed the general
results would differ little from those
which would accrue from the rejection

NaAGE tthBOh
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
While I am in no way identified with
the liquor interests in any of It's mani
fold -ramifications, there is one phase
of the election that tickles me much.
That is the defeat of the prohibition
crank in about a dozen States OF the
Union.
Prohibition at one time threatened
to cut a figure in politics, but the party
advocating it, like all freak parties,
has been relegated to a back seat, to a
seat so far back that it will drop out
of sight altogether before many more
years have come and gone.
Prohibition should never have been
allowed to make the noise it did IN a
country hat is in the foremost files
of time" Prohibition of a mans likes
and disllkes, the say so of what he
shall drink or eat, is as sensible as an
attempt to harness a blizzard OF catch
a streak of lightning. As prohibition
was founded on essential error, 1t has
fallen fiat. 1t will fall flatter at the
next election. 1t was long a joke. It
is now a corpse. ALEXANDER nj.
