liam Scheldknecht, Swiss, 46 years
old, who declared he was being forced
by anarchists to assassinate Secretary
Ballinger, was arrested here today. He
was committed to the state hospital
for the insane by order of the probate
court.
Scheldknecht claims to have come
from Paterson, N. j., where he said
he had been sworn to kill Mr.. Ballin-
ger. He asserted a man was follow
ing him to murder him if he did not
carry out his oath. According to ply
sicians, Scheldknecht is the victim Of
permanent hallucinations.

LOOKING TO THE LEGISLATURE.

Ms NE object of the campaign by the Republican State Commit
w tee is to divert attention from the Legislature and the legs-
lative candidates. Hence the money spent IN making ne
canvass by Mr.. Lewis as prominent and picturesque as possible. In
no previous campaign for Governor were the preparations for MI
Iewis's visits as elabOrateIy made, and the drumming and hing Tor
the candidates appearances begin days and weeks ahead. But puphc
attention cannot be shifted from the Legislative candidates who pro
pose to reenact the scenes of the last three legislative sessions under
the tutelape of the State committee. In Essex the eleven old
guard" candidates harangue small party meetings where they are
inconspicuous and where the explanations and excuses of the re-
nominated legislators are not challenged. They find 1T easier to
cnrse their critics than to explain their notorious recreancy, and the
burden of their harangues is revning of those who have called them
to an account. But, so far as these men are concerned, their cases
are settled. The large sums of money placed in this county to elect
these men cannot purchase their election. And the people of the
State generally are keeping the Legislature faithfully in mind. All
the brass bands in New Jersey could not make noise enough over
the governorship contest, which the Republican State Committee
knows is lost. to divert attention from the Legislature, which it is
now the aim of the committee to secure. Give us the Legislature"
they say, "and we will have the senatorship and we will settle Mr..
Wilson and his nonsense about reform"

Or. Wilson Ia Fearless.

To the Editor Of the Evening STAR:
In his reply to George, L. Record.
Woodrow Wilson shows that he is not
only fearless, but also familiar with
the political situation of the State n
nation. Those who have been talking
about the lack of experience OF the
Democratic gubernatorial nominee in
political matters were undoubtedly
greatly surprised by DIR. Wilson's let
ter. If there was any proof needed
that Wilson is capable and honest, the
candidate himself supplied that proof.
A more lucid explanation Of his views
could not DO wished for. Wilson proves
that he knows as much about the office
to which he will be elected as does the
most experienced o~ficeholder. Besides
that, his reply to the question on
corning bosses is a direct c~ontradic-
ton to the would-be political organiza-
ton in this city which has implied thai

Enrlish Methods Lnuded.


To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
English justice has said that Dr. H.
H. Crippen must die, and from present
indications it seems that he will,
without the usual farce attached TO
such cases in this country. Now that
Crippen has been disposed Of in Eng
land why does not Italy take similar
action in the ase of Porter Charlton?
Murder is murder, whether It be COM
mitted in this country, in England or
in Italy, and there Is no reason the
authorities can give for their neglect
to push the Charlton cas- to its logical
finish. II Charlton were a poor man
without powerful influences behind him
in Washington there would be no dis
cussion about the extradition treaty
with Italy. Charlton, according to
himself, is guilty. He should be given
a speedy trial and disposed of accord
ing to the verdict of the jury.

mr.. GNlCH7EL AND THE INTERESTS.

II f the money value of the Pequannock watershed had been
fully realized, Newark would not have SO easily secured the
contract, procured largely through the efforts of Mayor
Haynes. 1t is a serious question whether the city would have
secured it at double the price. The very class of men who are now
coyertly and by every means obstruoting the city in its enterprise
of dock development would have held the city back so as to enable
private interests to secure the prize. And that is what they are
doing in the matter of dock improvement They see more clearly
an immense profit in getting possession of the waterfront in antrf
patton of the city. Railroad interests especially are represented
by the obstructionists and Mr.. Gnichtel, as candidate for mayor,
has confessed his intention, if elected, to play into their hands.
He will sanction no appropriation for meadow and dock improve
ments during his entire term. Our present mayor, looking to the
near future and realizing the enormous Importance of making
Newark a principal seaport for commerce and utilizing the great
great project of the Newark community against the opposing selfish
interests. In the mayoralty election, therefore, there is one
issue presented. Citizens who are for municipal progress and the
development of Newarks magnificent opportunities will support
Mayor Haussling. All others will vote for Mr.. Gnichtel and the
interests.

LONG DENIAL OF MUNICIPAL HOME RULE.

STa Hi cry for municipal home rule has been heard in New Jer-
sey for many years, and the Legislature has been deaf to
it. Worse than that, the Legislature has enacted bills to
take away municipal rights. 1t passed a law depriving munich
pahties of all power over licenses, and the courts threw the law
out as unconstitutional. 1t invested State judges with powers in
municipalities, which also could not stand the test of the courts.
1t passed a law which invested a State board sitting in Trenton
with arbitrary power over all Offices appointiye in municipalities
even requiring that the municipal payrolls be sent to this board
at Trenton. In various ways State legislation has given to private
corporations rights in municipalities superior to those of local
government. Attempts have been made at Trenton to give to the
governor, through a commission appointed by him, or through an
appointed judge, full power in drawing grand juries, the most
dangerous power that a State executive could possess. The
essence of State Legislative policy towards the municipalities for
sixteen years has been distrust of the people, and it's tendency
.centralization of government at Trenton. That tendency is now to
be arrested. There is going to be municipal home rule in the cities
of this State

WOODROW WILSON HIS OWN MASTER.

NE r. WILSON in his reply to George L. Record briefly points
AVN out a fact that seemed to escape the attention of Mr.
Record, namely, that for sixteen years all power in State
government in New Jersey has been exclusively in the hands of the
Republican "od guard" In State affairs Democratic leadership has
been non est. 1t has no responsibility whatever for acts and neglects
of State government in these sixteen years. 1t has been for all that
period in opposition to the acts Of the cold guard" which have
brought on the present revolt in the State. Mr.. Record, being a
Republican, compromises with himself by berating Democratic and
Republican leadership alike, as if they were equally responsible
for the conditions that compelled him to turn against the "old
guard But Mr.. Records scruples may now be dismissed, SO far
as a Democratic governor is concerned. Mr.. Wilson will be the
master in the executive Office, master of himself and the servant
of the people.
