DR.. Wilson Given the Credit.

Dr. WIIAOn JINcn II OEtuA
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In a communication printed in the
Rostrum before the Democratic State
convention met in September 1t was
predicted that If DR.. Woodrow Wilson
were made the candidate for governor
he would be elected. no matter who
his opponent might be. This prediction
was made not only because of the
great abilities and high character OF
DR.. Wilson, but also because the writer
had heard a great many Republicans
say the people wanted a change in tie
State administration. wanted new men
and new measures.
The results of the election show that
the large body of commuters in Essex
county and other places. and the rank
and file of the Progressives, the great
majority of whom are Republicans,
were true to the principles they have
beer advocating. 1t was due to these
voters that East Orange and Montclair,
big Republican stronghoids, gave
Democratic plurslities, and it was
largely due to them that the Demo
cratic candidates for the Assembly
were elected. The general result OF
he election should be a lesson to the
Republican leaders, who have houSh
they owned the voters. Times have
changed and voters have changed, for
they have become Independent. 1t Is
now UP to the Democratic party in
New Jersey to make good to the peo-
pie. DIR. Wilson will do 1t.

MAYOR HAUSsLING MDORSED.

NM AYOR HAUsSLING received yesterday an Endorsement by
IV]\ the people of Newark that he must ever gratefully remem-
Der. 1t is seldom that a mayor in any large city attains a
third term. AS a rule, in dischargng his duties either he becomes
negligent or incurs enmties more or less unjust. Mayor Haussling
has made some enemies and offended some interests, and they were
very active against his reelection, but the only apparent effect of
this opposition was to attach the public more strongly to his sup
port. The people of Newark pronounced yesterday for a progressive
mayor and for progressive policies, and they made their meaning
more clear by electing a progressive candidate for the Board of
Works and reversing the majority in the Common Council, which
will be in harmony with the Mayor next year.

CANNON RETURNS ALMOST ALONE.

@ PEAKER CANNON is reelected in his district. But his cleo
ton has all the dimensions Of a big joke. He goes back
to Congress to count the dead among his henchmen and to
occupy a back seat. Since the last session adjourned the slaughter
of the Cannon members has been fearful. Yesterday while Can
mons pocket borough was rejecting him a full score of men who
wore his collar were dubbed to political death by their con
stituents, and among the victims were some of his most obedient
servitors in New Jersey. Cannon will be there, but how changed
the aspect of things for him. For "Uncle Joe7 the prospect is
really mournful. He will feel like one who treads alone some
banquet hall deserted" And Cannon will be there, and no more
Cannonism. That's dead, too.

When racing was dubbed the sport
Of kings the originator of the idea
doubtless thought he was paying the
game a compliment. But the descrip-
ton of the preparation for a recent deer
hunt by Emperor William and his guest,
Emperor Nicholas. furnished proof of
the fact that some of the sport
INDUCED in by kings falls far below
American standards of craftsmanship.
"A battalion of soldiers with forest
ers," the accoun runs, has been en-
gagged for some days in assembling
some 1.500 deer, hare and other four
footed game within an enclosure, and
when the animals are driven out today
past a line of platforms, concealed by
fine branches and upon which the
royal party and twenty-five other court
hunters had taken positions ready for
the killing, Emperor Nicholas was
permitted the first shot"

1t viii be rather difficult to trace n
connection between the report that
Belle Elmore, wife of DR., Hawley Har-
vey Crippen, is alive in this country
and the dentists reprieve. The Phila-
delphia broker who says he has proof
that Mrs. Crippen has been seen in
this country since her husbands trial
for murder began insists that the re-
prieye Vas granted after this proof
was submitted by him to DR.. Crippen's
counsel and as the direct result Of that
action. 1t is altogether likely that the
reprieve was merely coincident with
the discovery of the alleged proofs. The
explanation anent DR.. Crippen's extra
two weeks Of grace to the effect that
the English law prescribes that such
a period of time must elapse after an
appeal before a convicted prisoner is
executed seems to cover the case.

One Of the few tragedies of the sea-
son In which a deer figures as the vic
tim is reported from the Adirondacks.
The hunting season. it is true, is
closed, but since the barriers of the
law went up against hunters but a
few days ago.. this unusual incident
may be included in the bloody records
of the gun season. A woodman found
the body of a deer. He examined the
animal for signs OF life, but found
none. The deer was dead. Greatly ex-
cited, the woodsman again went over
the carcass In an endeavor to find
where a bullet had penetrated. It was
his theory that a hunter had fred at
a guide. mistaken for a deer, that
the bullet flew wide of its mark and
struck down the deer in question. His
second search was unrewarded. An
autopsy revealed the fact that the deer
had choked to death on an apple!

And just about everything that was
predicted happened. The superiority
of the political prophet over the
weather prophet was demonstrated in
a striking manner The weather man
fell down on his election day forecast,
but since Democratic weather was the
result he may be largely forgiven.
Most of the seers who based their pre-
dictions on the Immediate political
future came through with flying colors.
1t is one thing to forecast a landslide
which will sweep a party long en-
trenched In power to the bottom Of the
heap, and quite another thing to see
that prophecy realized. It is a pecu-
liarity of political landslides that they
observe no schedule. They are slow
to start but always manage to make
up for any seemingly unnecessary de-
lays, once they are on their way. This
one, however, was very nice about it..
and accomplished, on time, about every
thing promised for it.

Is a new polar controversy imminent?
Knud Rasmussen, the Danish explorer
and ethnologist. is quoted as saying:
No living explorer or Eskimo has
ever been within 100 miles of the North
Pole" Since the reported discoveries
Mr.. Rasmussen has beer in the neigh
borhood looking around a little. Even
If he made the assertion with which
he is credited it is difficult to under
stand what data he could secure upon
which to base such a conclusion. He
may have tracked Captain Peary 20
within 100 miles and lost the trail, but
what would that prove when the pro-
pensity of polar trails to lose them
selves is so well known? Until a man
a been to the pole he would hardly
seem to be In a position to discredit
other claims through an examination
of the premises. Mr.. Rasmussen, how
ever, probably said nothing of the kind.
