GOOD PLATFORM AND GOOD CANDIDATE.

NEW JERSEY Republicans have nominated
1 Y clean and able man for Governor, Vivian M.
Lewis, and remarkable as it may seem, the breach
has been healed between the factions of the party.
Mr. Lewis seems to have been about the best
that the Republicans could name as a candi-
date against DR.. Woodrow Wilson, who nom
mated by the Democrats recently. The learned
Princeton president will find in the Republican can
didate foeman worthy of his steel. The battle
will be desperate one the Republican platform,
despite the fact that the convention was controlled
by the so-called regulars, takes long step for
ward in several respects And this step was
largely due to the personal efforts of Mr.. Lewis.
The most important plank Is that relating to
Public Service Utilities. Three years ago in re-
sponse TO the pledges of the Republican party in
New Jersey the Legislature adopted what the plat
form calls "a sane and effective public utilities
statute for the proper regulation OF quaSi-pubhc
corporations 1t is measure of regulation, not OF
administration cOnhscatiOn The new COM
mission has begun its abors and is working
smoothly and effectively. Wefavor a statute Civ
& the Public Utility Commission the power to
fE- just and Ssasonable rates to be charged by
Public Utilities Corporations
Think of that in Delaware where the mention
of the subject sends a chill down the spinal col
umns of some folks, while in the Bourbonish Demo-
cratic State Convention the matter not even
thought Of
The Republican platform of New Jersey also
favors a change in the election and primary laws
so as to make their effectiveness greater and to
restrict the primaries of each party to the mem
bers thereof.
The platform commends the administration the
tariff bill, favors improvement of inland water
ways and other things
Altogether the New Jersey Republicans are TO be
congratulated for their spirited resolutions and
the harmony they have brought about in the party.
The fight will be hot one but wideawake and
alert candidate like Mr. Lewis should have a splen-
did chance Of winning. He showed his independ-
ence of the leaders who really nominated him by
forcing the rate regulation clause in the resolu-
tons

GERMAN SOCIALISM.

HE German Socialists have become so pow
= erfu a political party so far as numbers are
concerned that the inevitable dissensions are be-
ginning to appear A split in the party is pre-
dicted by the knowing ones although the trou-
bic is not likely TO reach that stage in the mmed
late future. The old timers headed by Herr Bebel
look askance at the group headed by Bernstein,
who seemingly are trying TO convert the Socialist
party into a radical reform party that shall take
part in ordinary legislation
Bebe and his followers are opposed TO all such
participation in legislation They would have the
Socialists merely stand in protest and vote against
all measures proposed by the government even
when such legislation might be a concession TO Soc
alistic doctrine.
The Socialists in Baden supported the govern
ment budget and in other ways took part in leg
islation. This called down the wrath of Herr
Bebel and the extremists. The Bebelites in
the end are likely to be beaten and the advo-
Gates of taking what you get" will prevail
There has been a that point in the Ger
man Socialist Convention
In this country the Socialists have a platform
that follows in a large measure the Bernstein idea
There the immediate industrial and political
demands, which are regarded as a stepping stone
to the ultimate end the cooperative common
wealth. The national platform of the party de-
clares that such measures of relief as are urged
are but preparation of the workers to seize the
whole power of government, in order that they
may thereby lay hold of the whole system Of in
dustry and thus come ito their rightful inher-
lance"
That is the ultimate end of Socialism 1t is
rather a stupendous task, and fancy that mill
tant Socialists like those in Milwaukee have no idea
that the success of such movement will be at
tanned in this day and generation

patters than the overthrow Of Congressman Taw-
ney at the Minnesota primary election
Representative Tawney is able congressman
and the fact that Washington is to lose his valu-
able services is something to be greatly regretted.
And yet Mr.. Tawney during the last session Of
Congress saw the handwriting the wall. for he
predicted that his course in supporting Speaker
Cannon would probably defeat him for renomi-
nation.
Mr.. Tawney has served more than twenty years
in Congress. He was chairman of the most inn
pcrtant committee, the appropriation committee,
at the last session Because of this position he
had great influence with the other members, for
the granting or Withholding of appropriation
often depended upon his mere nod whim. He
supported the new tarif bill, which was unpopu-
lar in Minnesota, and ne was bitterly opposed by
the friends of conservation, for he abolished the
Roosevelt Conservation Commission and in other
ways nterfered with the movement
The Progressive Republicans made very bitter
fight on him with the result that an unknown man
was nominated as the candidate OF the party. Thus
one by one influential leaders in Washington are
being displaced. The other day it was Boutell,
the leading congressman of Illinois. Today it is

pROGRESS N HEADING.

HE population of Reading, Pa, according to
n the new census figures is a trihe under the
100000 mark. Last year it was estimated that
the capital of Berks had 100000 residents, and the
estimate was not far out Of the way. But the fall
ing off from the estimated figure has proved to be
a sore disappointment TO Reading in that the city
failed TO enter the second class mark in Penn
sylvania Cities of 100000 or more are in the
second class.
In this city we have heard recently that Reading
has progressed and gone ahead of us, which il has
in population. Judging by some of the Reading
newspapers there is complaint OF a lack of pro-
gress in that city. A fight az present is wag-
ing over the proposed bond issue Of
81 100000 for Improvements. A campaign of edu-
cation is under way. Politics enters into it, and
there is a wrangle because the Republicans would
have the spending of the money from the bond
issue. And yet that is matter which should not
halt the work of improvement. If Reading had a
non-partiSan nearly municipal government,
there would be no questions of this kind raised.
Judging by the debt of other cities bond issue
of million would be justified for Reading. The
public debt of Reading is ST ,277,040 and that of
Wilmington is S2336, 400. The debt of Whining
ton is therefore considerably more than Readings.
Reading with larger population than Wilmington
covers only 65 square miles, while Wilmington has
an area of 1912 square miles. The assessed value
of taxable property in Reading on an assessment
basis OF 70 per cent OF the actual value is S52,-
050,950, while the assessed value of the property
OF Wilmington on full assessment basis, which
Is not carried out in practice, is $50 100000
If there is anything that should stimulate
Reading TO desire good citizenship, it would he
the disposal of so large a bond issue.
