Blankets and Robes

About a month ago we concluded
we were long on Blankets and Robes.
and in order to reduce them, inserted
an ad agreeing to give away with each
purchase good rawhide whip, and we
think there are more people in Wapel-
10 and adjoining counties car
rying a good rawhide whip than ever
before. The blankets went SO fast that
we had to send a hurry UP order to
the factory for new supply. We have
cancelled the ad, but the offer still
holds good for the whip until Feb /.

Predict. Fine Administrative

Predicts Fine Administration.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The Democrats of this State in
choosing Professor woodrow Wilson,
of Princeton, as their candidate for
governor and electing him will afford
the people an opportunity to see what
the benefit of a higher education is to
an honest man in handling the reins
of the State. 1t is a well-known fact
that many of our public officials have
not gained their positions through
particular showing of intelligence on
their part. We know they are there
through the "pulr' or political in1u-
ence they exert.
In Professor Wilson we shall have
a man who ought to know when and
where good is being done for the peo-
pie and vice versa. His speech OF
acceptance would seem to denote thai
his would be an ideal administration,
and it will be seen that he will retain
the benefits of a higher education. at
least to the point Of remembering his
promises, should he be elected. Tina
he will be elected all true Democrats
and those who are for the good of the
people are confident. and we also know
thai in choosing Professor Wilson as
their candidate the Democrats have
picked a man who will not forget"

Good Eject of E~uchsristic Meet.


To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
A citizen of Newark, who is a strict
Presbyterian, went with his wife and
several non-Catholic friends from the
Thousand Islands, where they were
spending the summer months, to the
city of Montreal week before last and
stayed there during the sessions Of the
Eucharistic Congress, which was COM
posed of distinguished Roman Catholic
delegates, priests and laymen, from all
the countries of the world. He said
yesterday that the religious ceremonies
and great street parade in honor of
Jesus Christ, the Saviour and Redeem
er, were the greatest religious demon
strations he ever saw n made a pro-
found impression upon him and his
friends.
There were a great nan Protestant
visitors from cities in all parts of the

talked said they were impressed as J
was by the great exhibition of rever-
ence and love for Christ. not only by

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
If you will permit a statement of
facts and reason in your unbiased
paper for the opposition to the con-
templated change in our night schools
1 will give same. We contend that so
soon as our school board grants a
special favor or privilege to any re-
ligious sect it violates the spirit of our
nations Constitution. Our public school
is and must be kept separate from the
union with n church. We can prove
that the welfare of our pupils and
night school instructors will be I'm
paired by changing the sessions to four
consecutive nights. The pupils who
ten hours per day, then hurry home,
more hurriedly eat their evening meal
and go to school. They are human
beings who want and ask for a break
in the strain and monotony so they
may take a much-needed rest and re-
creation in the middle of the week.
Past experience in Newark night
schools proves that consecutive nights
were detrimental to both pupils and
instructors.
All of our'large institutions, which at
times require their day force to work
from three to four hours per night for
a long period of time, have learned
and practised the Wednesday night rec
reation as being best for their help
and thus obtain better results for
themselves. In anticipation of the
move recently taken a canvass of our
night school pupils was made. in which
they were unanimous in asking for a
recess on Wednesday night. Their rea-
sons given were as previously cited. A
vote taken by the principals of our
night schools ONE time ago showed
but two out of fourteen in favor OF

TRUSTS UNDIs7UPBED SINCE 1898.

Sa HAT the enforcement of the Sherman antitrust act has been
a complete farce since 1898 does not need to be said. At
torney General John w. GTggs paid no attention to the law
while the trusts. were springing up like dragons teeth. Attorney
General Moody made some effort and Attorney General Wicker
sham has made nothing but feints. In nearly a score of years the
antitrust act has virtually been a dead statute, for no good has
come out of it, while the combinations and monopoles it was aimed
at have multiplied amazingly in number and power. What other
is this than betrayal of the people by their servants in high office?
Could there be any better evidence of the powerful influence the
trusts have secured in the Federal government through such men
as Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon, who have controlled not
only legislation, but Presidents, and packed presidential cabinets
with their creatures?

PEpUBL1CAN CONVENTION PLATFORM.

HE only question of doubt that seems to exist as 10 ~ acuon
of the Republican State convention tomorrow ela.es " 'e
platform. A month ago there would not have been any
doubt if the convention had then been held, but events nave given
A severe Jolt to the Republican organization leaders, N tney are
less inclined to nail their flag to the mast. The New Englanu e~U
lions the Republican primaries in other States, the propaganoa
preached by Roosevelt to enormous crowds and the WOODROW WI
SOL nomination have been instructive. The conviction Is 1orceo
mon the organization leaders that there must be something pro
gressiye in the platform-something to show that the party or
aanization in New Jersey is not altogether crustacean, tnat II Is
conscious of the new spirit awakened in American politics 1t IS
. ouestion. too. whether the platform adopted will be a committee
affair or be convention made, for there will be able men on the
convention floor to do battle on the platform issue.

IT Il Is not probable that Nine. CavaEeri will sing In this country
again, and certainly not at the Metropolitan. 1t Is hardly
rrof,abIe that a New York audience, which can tolerate a
great deal on the stage, would tolerate this mercenary woman,
whose old looded victimizing of an extravagantly foolish mar is
The talk of two continents. The scandal has also turned the search
light upon Nine. Cavalieris social anhcedents, with unpleasant
results. The pleasure world is accustomed to look with leniency,
if not Indifference, upon the moral transgresslons OF dramatic and
lyric artists, but the story, as it is now told, of the prenuptial
agreement into which Chanler was lured by a calculating and re-
morseless siren shocks the most Indifferent. The American char
acter is generous, and it revolts at such an exhibition OF callous
Selfshness in a woman.

FOWLER ACQUYESCES.

NyN REPRESENTATIVE FOWLER acquiesces in his turn-doWn by
INK the party leaders in the Fifth district. Indeed" says MI.
Fowler. 81 allow no man to go before me in loyal devotion
to the fundamental principles of the Republican party. STATE
ment is grandiose. Mr.. Fowler might be puzzled to explain 1t, In
the light of what he said in his campaign. But Mr.. Fowler could
do no less than acquiesce. The returns from the senatorial referen-
dunn we're not all in, and he had substantial hopes of securing a
plurality. Obviously it wouldn't be wholesome for Mr.. Fowers
chances in the Legislature as the nominee of the party primaries
for senator to say that he did not acquiesce in the result in the
Fifth district and was not in party line.

Losr INFLUENCE FOR CANNON CoNdREssMEM

1ma HE point is made for Representatives Parker ana whey that
their election is preferable for their onstituen 10 te
election of their Democratic opponents, because OF nell e.
perience and the "infuence" they command in the House. S the
experience has consisted of obeying the orders OF speaker cannon
something that a newcomer might easily do without any previous
experence. there does not seem to be much merit in that, and tnen,
again, the voters of the two districts may be inclined Il doubt the
public value of such experience. The influence commanded by
Messrs. Parker and Wiley was their "pulP" with Speaker cannon.
There is considerable doubt whether that influence was benehclal
TO the constituents of the representatives with the pull" But
Speaker Cannons sovereignty has nearly ended, and it won't exist
at all in the next House, no matter what its political complexion
shall be- Where. then. will be the influence Of Messrs. Parker and
Wiley?

True indeed, why? There's the

INCOMPETENT ELECTION OFFICERS.

oIa HE best election system that can be devised cannot avail If
the election officers are ignorant, incapable, lazy and negll-
gent, as so many of them in the State were on last TUESDAY.
ANY incompetent can be an election officer. 1t is only necessary
to have a pull. The counting and recording of the popular vote in
elections is a highly important duty, to be entrusted only to com
petent and reliable men, but by a strange contradiction the duty
of selecting these officers has little or no responsibility. The
extraordinary delay in the primary election returns last week was
due to a neglect and stupidity that can hardly find a parallel In
this country or in any other civilized country New Jersey mas
been deservedly dfscredited by it. For the selection of election
officers there should be some simple educational test and some
credentials as to character. Then the law should provide severe
punishments for neglect, and the penalties should be mandatory,
not discretionary with judges. When the machinery OF elections
becomes a scandal, as in the present case, reform should be inev-
liable. .#Im-s b. r.H

consecutive nights. In conclusion, we
ask: Why should our Board of Educa-
ton grant a special favor to q few
religious leaders? It is contrary to the
doctrine of a true democracy and op-
posed by the majority of those whom
the schools are intended to benefit.
AMERICAN.
G. o. p. to Ignore Anti-Caanon PIanks.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
h Progressive delegates to the Re-
publican State convention at Trenton
tomorrow are to make a fight, It has
been given out, to get their reform po-
litical ideas and principles put in the
platform to be adopted. II the Regu-
lars do permit some Of the Progressives'
planks to go into the platform, what
guarantee can be given that If the Reg
ulars control the next Legislature they
will not ignore the Progressive planks?
During the campaign for nominations
the Progressive candidates and speals-
ers attacked the leaders of the Regu-
lars. the last Legislature, the members
Of Assembly who want to be reelected,
and Cannon and Cannonism, Aldriohism
and h high tariff, that the Republican
State Committee has indorsed extrava-
gantly. The Republican candidates for
Congress are Cannon men. In my
judgment the Progressive who believes
the Regulars will repudiate Cannonism
and Aldrichism is a sfmpleton. How
can any honest Progressive vote for
any candidate of the Regulars, all of
whom, including Nj. Lewis, who will
be nominated for governor tomorrow,
are stoutly opposed to Progressive men
and ideas? A PROGRESSIVE.
Wants Another vice-ChanceIIor.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t seems to me that there ought to be
another vice-chancellor appointed to
look after cases in this part of the
State, as the three ov~er-burdened
gentlemen that are sitting here
are so wofully behind in their decisions.
A peep at the records at Trenton will
show. i am firmly convinced, that some
cases have been slumbering more or
less peaceably for three or four years.
There are certain divorce cases that
have been hanging fire for pretty near
that length of time, 1 am told.
A most important case Is that
brought against the Prudential Insur-
ance Company to ascertain the equita-
BILE distribution of its s1s. ooo. 900 sur
plus, whether 1t is to go to the stock
holders or the policy-holders. This
was out on a hearing nearly six
months ago, and there has been no de-
cision yet, because of the pressure of
other business previously tried. AS this
case will be appealed anyway, no mat
tire how the legal cat will jump, it
may be years before there is a Ana
adjustment of the problem.
OF course, l understand the great
difficulties in the a of settling the
subtle points involved, but it does
seem to me that II another vice-chan-
cellor had been on the bench there
would have beer an earlier hearing
and a clearer deck for the vice-chan-
cellor who finally did rear the case. so
that he could get at it for a decision.

sands of spectators.
81 talked with ministers and laymen
n of several of our Protestant
denominations who were in Montreal
as spectators and they said that the
imposing religious ceremonies and the
great parades, in which the Host was
carried by the papal legate, several
hundred thousand men and women
who crowded the streets for four miles
bowling their heads in reverence Of
Christ, would not only make more in
tense the love of Roman Catholics for
Christ, but would inspire men and
women of all Christian creeds with
greater reverence for the Saviour.
"The effect on the citizens of Mon
treal was noticed especially by us. We
did not see an intoxicated man in the
city during the week, and we were on
the streets every day and late at night.
and we did not hear an path or any in
decent remarks. 1 would like to see a
Eucharistic Congress held in New York
City, where the people OF the Eastern
States could go to see the great re-
ligious demonstrations, for 1t would do
good to people of all religions and
give many a better opinion Of the
Catholic people and their ancient re-
ligion." A CHRISTIAN.
