SSHE speech delivered by Governor Fort in the Newark Audi
forum on September % of last year is reproduced by the
Hudson Observer of Hoboken. AS the Governor is billed for
a speech at Camden in a few days, wonder may be expressed whether
the sentiments of his last September speech will be repeated. The
political situation last year that brought the Governor to Newark
to make his address was of the same nature as those which are pre-
scented in this campaign. AS Governor Fort expressed it in his
speech, 1--WE are face TO face, in our State, with the problem of who
shall rule 1.-THE people or the bosses under the domination OF the
speoial interests" Governor Fort pointed to the violated platform
pledges of his party organization, and he asked: what sort of Re
pubicanism is that which is guilty of political treason to every
plank in the platform and which exhibits itself in opposition upon
every occasion when attempts are honestly made to fulfill platform
promises" Again, the Governor said: During the debate and
vote on the primary bill last winter, some of these leaders were on
the floor of the Assembly, sitting In seats of members and coaching
them what to say, what motions to make and how to vote. Is it
possible that these things can go on and the people submit to it?
Have we lost all semblance of representative government in New
Jersey?" Now what happened after this excoriation of Republican
party leaders by a Republican Governor? Another Republican
Legislature met, the State leaders again took charge, platform prom
Uses were again trampled upon, and the session wound up IN such
bad odor that the State was filled with shame. But what will GOV
ernor Fort say at Camden?

NO CANAL INVESTIGATION REPORT.

hNOODROW WILSON'S reference to the ownership and wreck
WV of the two canals of the State by railroad companies is a
reminder to the Trenton Times that the Senate committee
appointed two years ago to investigate the affairs of the Delaware
and Raritan Canal to ascertain the causes for its decadence has not
vel made any report. The Pennsylvania Railroad owns that canal,
which did a large and well paying business before the railroad Sc
cured control. 1t was a valuable means of transportation for the
products of factories and for goods in bulk across the State from
New York to Philadelphia. 1t is the settled policy of railroads to
re- control of WATERWAYS and terminals, as everybody knows, and it
was with the belief that the Rartan Canal traffic had been des-
troyed for the benefit of the railroad that the investigation was
demanded. Mercer and Middesex counties have a large interest in
this canal. and a peculiar interest in this woyearold investigation
that is plunged into a Rip Van Wrinkle SLEEP.

@ TATE ROAD COMMISSIONER GILKYSON gets $4,000 a
year in salary and has the use of an auto at the expense
of the State. 1t is not the use, but the abuse of the auto
that has brought down upon the high salaried commissioner a
storm of criticism. The old theory, now about to be discarded,
that public office is private snap has been and is illustrated too
frequently in State government for the commissioners ease to be
exceptional. And even the road building contracts secured by the
company of which the commissioners brother and brotherinlaw
are the officers represent practises too common with placeholders
in New Jersey. Mr.. Gilkysons term expires next year. \ Demo
cratic legislature in all probability will take a look into the affairs
of this and other departments of the State government.

Newark, Oct. 1910.
Royal welcome Awaits Him.


To the Editor of the Evening Star;
When Woodrow Wilson appears in
Newark again on the V of the cleo
ton, as he is scheduled to do, he will
get a. reception such as will ever beat
that which was given to him upon his
first appearance in this city as a can
didate for the highest gift in the hands
of the people of this State.
We all know that the Kruger Audi
torium is the largest hall that can be
had for the purpose or it would not
have been engaged. We all know, too,
thai it will not be big enough to hear
the last of the candidates brilliant
speeches here before he takes his seat
in the State House at Trenton. Now,
what | want to do is to appeal to the
generosity of the people who have
already heard DIR. Wilson. Let them
be unselish enough to forego the pleas
ure of once more listening to his logic
expressed in well-rounded periods so
as to make room for those who have
not vet been so fortunate as to have
heard him. There are some, no doubt,
who will do this-perhaps.

A REPUBLICAN HOUSE-CLEANING

m FTER the Republican organization defeat in this State next
F month IA party housekeeping will be inevitable. Those
members of the "old guard who do not voluntarily retire
will be forced to do so. Long continuance in power has a harmful
effect upon a political party leadership. Party voters come to be
regarded as chattes, alliances are made with private interests, and
the cohesive power of public plumber keeps these alliances up and
hardens the consciences of the men in control. Republican voters
have awakened to these facts The last three Legislative sessions
at Trenton have taught their lessons. And the acts of Republican
leadership since the Legislature adjourned prove that there is no
such thing as reform within the party. John w. Griggs, who
speaks for the organizations, publicly said SO this week.

Woodrow Wilson has given further
evidence of his unselhsh devotion to
the peoples cause. He has severed his
official relation with an institution
which he has long and highly honored
by distinguished service. He might
have remained at it's head. He could
have enjoyed its influence and its
emoluments during the drain of a
campaign. He was urged to do so, but
his response was characteristic of the

ington on Thursday night he spoke
with some regret of the severance of
institutional ties of twenty years
standing, but his chief thought was
of the future. Throughout his remarks
there rang the assuring tone of sin
for the worthiness and success of a
cause which he has vitalized and made
nation wide. What loftier sentiment
could be looked for from any candidate
for office than his appeal, not to
partisan impulses, but to THE American
instinct for justice, that our business
may be honestly conducted. our courts
kept pure, our wrongdoers punished

Mr.. Wilson expressed it, Every influential newspaper IN the

of this State nut out of business This nation wide sentiment is
entirely disinterested and unprejudiced. New Jersey has earned
an unenyiabIe name abroad, principally because of the slavery of
the men in political power in the State to special interests. Years
ago New Jersey received, and deserved, the reproachful name of
the "State of Camden and Amboy" OF late years the title used
is "The Corporation State" Woodrow Wilson is looked upon as.

month will give qualification to millions of people outside of New

Market Regulation Lauded.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
1t seems to me that the police de-
serve praise for the way in which they
handle the traffic at the Centre Market
Since an officer has been stationed
there to regulate the rattle the pedes-
trians may pass without any danger,
whereas formerly it was with difficulty
that one could dodge the wagons. The
drivers, too, find the ordinance bene-
fetal, inasmuch as all of them must
abide by the same rule, and this pre-
vents anyone from "hogging'' the road.
OF course some drivers still make an
effort to have their own way, but if
their own way is in violation of the
ordinance they are quickly punished.
The policemen at the market do their
duty and should be commended for
their watchfulness, and when they find
1t necessary to make an arrest the
guilty one should be given the full
punishment. JACK ANDERSON.

Colonel Roosevelt has been making a

the men he believes ought to be elect

whom he would support for governor
in this State. OF course. we know that
he is a Republican, but we also know
that he says he is opposed to trust rule
and corruption in politics

in 1912; for that reason we wish to see

sey against the man who will oppose

The manning and ~death-rate of en-
ployees in this country is proportion
ately three times greater than the rate
prevailing in foreign countries. So said
John Mitchell, former president of the
United Mine Workers of America. in a
recent address. This disparity. he in
sisted. is due to the fact that foreign
employers OF labor have been taught
by law that it is cheaper to afford
proper protection to employees than TO
pay death claims. In this State such a
lesson has not been taught. The Re
publican party has enacted an employ
ers' liability law, but its ~inadequacy Is
generally conceded. 1t promises a bet
terment, but It's failures in this regard
equal its promises. The Democratic
party has given its pledge to enact a
proper law. Under the guidance of
such a governor as Woodrow Wilson
labor may safely rely on the fulflment
of this pledge.

David B. Hill and Thomas T. Eckert
have laid aside all earthly cares. Their
lives covered a wide a Each
reached back into the dim past, into
scenes that were stirring and epochL
making. They came forward with the
years, each giving to his respective
sphere the fun measure Of earnest de-
votion. Politics was the lure of one,
ccmmercialism engaged the other, and
each impressed the effect of earnest
effort upon the affairs Of his day. They
had their faults, but their faults will
be forgotten and their aims and pur-
poses and services will be exalted when
viewed in retrospect through the soft
ening influence of death.
Chairman Dalrymple's appeal to his
workers, especially to those of you
who are foremen," to hustle for the
good of the party, had no sinister
meaning. 1t was not intended that
employers of labor should coerce their
help. Such a reflection would be most
unkind. 1t was the case. merely. of a
wise general, on the eve of battle, ad-

Consistency has been described as a
virtue, but not by any Republican
aspirant for office-at least not this
