NEXT Tuesday will be the
135th anniverslr Try OF the Declar-
alton Of Independence. Flags
and bunting with their story in
stars and stripes and annual
lesson in love and devotion to
country, will again be displayed
throughout the land. The day
should remind us again of the
heroes Of the past, whom, while
we cannot all expect to equal in
great deeds, we can, each in his
own sphere, strive to emulate
by trying to make the world
brighter and better as we go
through it.

organizations from Pennsylvania to

United States grand jury at Chicago,
June %, for alleged violation of the

The second count charges conspiracy

"A thought that most Of the men
working on the great ranama Canal
left their religion behind them In the
states, those who live in the Canal
zone know there are many who OBJ
serve the laws of Moses and lead the

When the canal was begun family
quarters were built, many men
brought or sent for their wives and
children, and 1T has paid. Family life
and the presence of good orne In
their homes have been powerful in
fiuences for good. These families
coming from every state In the Union
meant that schools and churches must
be provided. Again Uncle Sam mel
the need, and at every town along the
line of the canal built schoolhouses
and churches. Teachers were obtain

employed to attend to the religious

Former Governor Stokes, the
chief campaign orator for the Re
puplicans this fall, sprung a new
q why we should not support
Governor Wilson, on his audience in
Morristown the other night. He
declared that Wilson is initiating
Theodore Roosevelt, What a terri
BILE thing that seems to be in the
eyes Of the former governor. Yet,
II we mistake not, Stokes was one
of the active campaisners a few
years ago who was urging the cleo
ton of Republican candidates that
they might ''help Roosevelt" When
one OF the worst things that can be
said against Governor Wilson is
that he is initiating Roosevelt, we
believe that is ample eason for
the voters to turn out In force and
send men to the legislature who vii
back the governor to the limit
What this country needs most to
day is more men like Roosevelt and
Wilson.

Uncle Sam Has s Churches in Panama

Eight chapels were built, and every
M has at least service each
Sabbath. These are two-story build
ings with lodge rooms on the second
floor. The room on the ground 6oor
known as the church is capable OF
seating about $50 people. A pulpit at
one end OF the room, piano and some
folding chairs constitute the furnish
ings.
All authority rests IN 6 body elected
by the people attending the church.
The executive council OF the church
In Cristobal Is composed of men OF
every denomination. There are one
Methodist, two Baptist, two Presby.
terians, one Congregationalist and one
Lutheran.
The membership is made up OF

broad; the hymns are those we'll
known In all UNCONVENTIONAL circles,

RECORD BROKEN FOR FINES.

An item published In the EVEN
ING NEWS Wednesday bears out. to
d great extent, the statement made
In these columns a few days ago
regarding the wave OF crime that
seems to be sweeping over the city.
1t appears that during the month
of October all records were broken
in the matter OF police court lines,
A total Of s576 was collected during
the t~hirty-one days. Very few of
tenders have been sent to jail. This
doubtless adds gr~eatly-to the income
of the city, but it is a question
whether it is the best policy. As
said before. when men realize that
the most that will happen to them
is to pay a fine of a few dollars for
attacking another. they are willing
to take the chance. Perhaps q lit
tie less income for the city along
this line and some real punishment

an end to these Saturday night cut

CREDIT yoR srArn SURPLUS.

At the close Of the fiscal year of
the state IT 8 o'clock Tuesday after
noon. q balance OF $2,332,362, of
s~3o4,ssB.bp more than last year,
was shown. Naturally both politi-
cal parties desire to get as much
of the credit for this as possible.
While Governor Wilson Is being
congratulated upon this excellent
showing at the close of the first
year of his administration, the most
amusing attempt to give the credit
to the Republicans is made by the
Trenton State Gazette, the organ of
the Republican state machine. The
Gazette says Senator Bradley. of
Camden. who was chairman of the
Legislative appropriation committee,
Ia responsible for the surplus. Ac-
cepting the State Gazette's view of
the matter may explain why David
Baird and the rest Of the Repub-
lican Board of Guardians turned
down Bradley at the primaries
when they succeeded In their eff
forts to prevent him being renom-
mated. Evidently Senator Brad
ley's record as chairman of the APP
preparation committee did not suit
the Republican bosses who are still
in control of that party in the state.

WHICH?

Shall Woodrow Wilson be
endorsed, or is he to be repud-
lated?
Do the people like a man IN
office who keeps his promises,
or do they regard promises as
- -refy hot aira
i lis Governor Wilson to be
given full opportunity to car
~ out his reform platform, or
Is he to be brought up with a
round turn before he has had
j chance to complete his task9
Do the people OF New Jer-
sey want to go forward with
the progressive states of the
nnion, or do they want to re-
turn to the old system and
trust themselves to The tender
mercies of the reactionariesf
These are questions which
you must consider well be-
tween now and next Tuesday,
Mr.. Voter. No one pretends
to say that the Geran law I'M
der which the election law this
year is held, is perfect. The
governor has already named a
commission to revise it and
make it more workable. The
defects in such radical
changes can only be discover
cd through experience. The
same Is true in all the other
reform measures. Everything
could not be done in a single
year, yet more was accom-
plished toward restoring pop
ular government in the single
session last year, than was
done during the whole fifteen
or sixteen years of Republican
rule,
Are you willing TO give
Governor Wilson an oppor-
tunity to show what he can
really do for you2 He has
hardly begun, as yet. One
thing he has done, however,
and that is to convince every.
one chat he means what he
says and will fight for what he
believes Is right. He has also
won the dislike of all the
bosses and machine polite
aans.
But to return to the ques-
lions, do you, Mr.. Voter, In
tend to stand by the man who
keeps his promises when elect

been battling against the
