MONTCLAR MAYOR RAPS
EAST ORANGE EXECUTIVE.

Declaring that selfish motive prompt
ed him to oppos the plan to build a
riaduct over the Lackawanna railroad
crossing so as to eliminate the pres
emit dangerous grade crossing at
bloomfield avenue, Mayor Ernest
Hinch. of ~ontclair, in a p''olic state
ment issued today, made an attack
upon Mayor Julian A. Gregory, OF
East Orange. The officials of East Or
ange were also fiayed by the Mont
clair executive.
Gregory's protest was made at the
ffeeholders' meeting Wednesday when
he opposed the spending of s12,500 by
the county for the work of construct
ing the viaduct. In part Mayor Hinch
said:
Mayor Gregory stated hat in his
opposition he spoke for $4,000 people in
East Orange, and the impression was
undoubtedly treated that he was au-
thorized officially to represent that
city. Inquiry shows. hoover, that no
action hatever as taken by the East
Orange City Council, nor even by any
other civic body of East Orange au-
thorizing Mayor Gregory to speak for
them, and that there Is a strong differ
ence of opinion in East Orange on the
subject. He admitted that he as there
entirely for a selfish proposition and
his arguments confirmed the state
ment.
ut seemed strange to Montclair's
representatives that the mayor of a
n~eighboring community should go so
far out Of his ay as to interfere in his
~unneighborly fashion In an affair which
only Indirectly concerns his munich
pality.
"As a result the resolution was laid
over until the next meeting of the
board, which will DO in June

Tho author speaks. 1t is true In

cause they are more re-echo OF

Leo detested slavery he tells us, and

but Revolution He was offered the
command OF the United States Army

sion. Had he or Sidney Johnston. who
also refused IT, accepted, there might
have been either no war at all or a
much smaller one. Here seems to have
been the weak point in very great
character, that Lee did not, like
Thomas. Farragut. and other great
Southerners. realize that the main
tenance Of the Union was the interest
of all. and that it was his duty TO
take an active part and help to secure
it," etc.

I'VE may observe in passing that
Lee was not "A large slave owner nor
4 slave owner at all. having manu-
mitted his few slaves long prior TO the
war-also that Sidney Johnston was

United States Army We care little
for such plumbers as these. with which
the book is studded. but when lie COM
parcs Lees conduct, to his detrlment,
with that of Thomas and of Farragut,
ones gorge rises. Lee deemed Scces
sion flnpolitic and Cat the time) I'M
necessary, but he would not draw his
sword against his State and people,
and put aside with dignity the chief
command offered him by the Federal
Government. Thomas and Farragut
We're both rampant Secessionsts, and
repeatedly declared to their comrades
in the old Services their intention to
follow their States Yet when the
crucial test came, and they were Of
fcred promo ton, they fell to the
tempting bait There's the whole
story, and all the hysterical denials
after the event cannot shake 1t.

Seems SO to whom? Not to twenty
millions of people In the South in
rhosc hearts he is enshrined even be-
yond Washington; not to millions In

STILL sApp1Nc AND MINING.

In a recent speech, George w Per-
.kins. former partner OF Picrpont- Nor
gan, said that Associate Justice Hughes
was responsible for "thc rule of
reason" by which the Supreme Court
was governed in its decisions in the
Standard OIL and American Tobacco
cases. In 1905 the Republicans promised
TO amend tho sherman anti trust law
and in the campaign that year Mr.
interpreted that promise to mean that
the rule OF reason" must be adopted
Later Mr.. Hughes was appointed to n
place on the Supreme Bench by Prcsi-
dent Taft wherefore the Hon. Willmm
jennings Bryan ''suspicions' that Mr.
raft appointed MI Hughes Associate
Justice because Mr.. Hughes was known
to he in favor of the rule OF reason. =
MI. Bryan would probably not accept
Mr.. Perkins's statement upon any other
subject; but' by twisting 1t in this mat
ter TO suit his vicious purposes, he
seeks to make il appear that Mr..
Hughes was appointed to the Supreme
Bench by the President with sinister
design.
1t Will be noted that Mr. Perkins did
not say anything OF the sort; but after
amending Pcrkinss statement. Mr..
Bryan renders his decision. saying to
the readers OF his Commoner: Pass
'nis on to your Republican neighbor.
a =
preme Court being packed with the
view Of having ii redeem "a party's
campaign pledge" 1t certainly can
not be charged that Mr.. Bryan is gov
erned by the rule of reason. He has
done nothing more dishonoring to him
sell than the attack which he is now
making upon the good faith of the
PRESIDENT and the integrity of the SUI
preme Court
