NEXT IMPORTANT
QUESTION BEFORE
WOODROW WILSON
New York Sun Asks How to
Avoid Succession of Mr..
Marines.

The New York Sun in its leading edi-
torial today says:
The Next Important Question for the
Hon. Woodrow Wilson.
The high-minded gentleman and sin
cere patriot who is now governor OF
New Jersey has written upon the first
page Of the copybook in beautiful round
script the familiar text Principles. not
Men, That is to say, he has succeeded
in illustrating his idea that in the cleo
ton of O senator the main thing to be
considered is not the size or fitness of
the man chosen, but the technique Of
the choice.
Governor Wilson has given to the
State of New Jersey as its representa-
tive for six years In the United States
Senate Mr.. James e. MARITIME, of Plain
field. He has bestowed upon the United
States Senate and the nation Mr..
James E. MARITIME, of Plainfield.
The constitutional method having
been evaded, the extraconstitutional or
new nationalistic Shortcut" to theo-
retical reform having been adopted.
Governor Wilson may contemplate the
surprising II not lamentable result from
another point of view
II Chu bCdTCCty no Lldt SONOi itoA W
son regards the man as an adequate
companion-piece to the principle. We
should do injustice to the governors g
intellectuals If we supposed for an in
stant that his respect for Mr.. Mar
tines personal qualifications for the
post of senator equals his faith in the
direct primary idea. We should hate
to believe that he Is willing to adhere
to the principle he seeks to establish
IL its consistent application is going
to fill up the United States Senate with
Mr. Marines OF Plainfleld to the exclu-
sion of any other type of statesmanship.
The next question is vital. and 1t d.
rectly concerns the Hon. Woodrow
Wilson as "the leader of the honest
progressive thought Of the State and
nation" the spokesman for the great
heart and conscience of the common
people of America" The terms de-
scriptive of Governor Wilson's func-
tions we borrow for the occasion from
the True American, of Trenton.
The next question is indeed impor-
tant: How shall the misfortune of a
succession of Mr.. Marines be avoided.
in New Jersey and elsewhere. while
preserving the great principle of popu-
lar nomination at the primaries? Mani
testify there is only one way. Evidently
the only way to prevent in the future
the deplorable accident OF another Mr..
MARITIME as the product of hasty. fool
ish or non-representative vote at the
primaries is by the preparation of party
sentiment and the competitive exhibit
ton of proper credentials for senator
in advance of the primaries.
How shall this be done? BY an en-
acted system of pre-primaries? By in
formal caucus or conference of the
active party leaders at some time pre-
vious to the statutory primaries? Or
by the individual decision and effect
lively exerted influence of a great, benef-
icent boss, such a political boss. in fact.
as we now behold in the State of New
Jersey?

Quoting fake raids on houses and
apartments in various parts of the city

Mrs Fanny Green. boarding-hous

announced that they had come to raid
the place, she offered no resistance, but.

was rushed to the house, arriving be-
fore the raiders had completed their
work of holding up several boarders and
guests, who were attending an informal
party. which had been prolonged to an
early morning hour.
The capture was effected two hours
after a raid of similar nature had been

Neighb0r Finds Rooms of Aged
Recluse in Topsy-Turyy
Condition.

While in a delusion Mrs. Ann Nc
and Clinton streets, Belleville, fell
down flight of stairs In her home
early today and was killed. Only yes
terday neighbor, Mrs. James Curran,
Of William street, saw to 1t that Mrs.
McGann's bed was removed from the
upper floor OF her home to the lower
one. so as to avoid the possibility of
her falling; but 1t Is thought that Mrs
McGann, following her custom, went
upstairs and was seized with a weak
spell and fell to her death.
The body was discovered this morn
ing by Mrs. Curran when she entered
the house to see If Mrs. McGann was
all right. The head and upper part of
the body were on the floor, while the
limbs were on the stairs at the base OF
the staircase.
She had been dead several hours.
When Mrs. Curran entered the Nc
Gam home she was confronted with q
topsy-turvy condition of the furniture
in the rooms. A heavy table in the par
lor was turned upside down and sew
eral other things were disturbed.
Mrs. Curran notified Patrolman James
Flynn, of Belleville, and Township
Physician Herbert B. Vail was sum
moned. County Physician Mckenzie
was informed.

Mrs. Curran has been in the habit OF
assisting Mrs. McGann for some time
and about Q o'clock today her husband
heard the slamming of a window in
Mrs. McGanns home.
Mrs. McGann was the widow of Mar
tin McGann. who died about three years
ago. She had never recovered from the
shock of his death and this preyed upon
her mind, causing her to act queerly
and to do many funny things about the
house.

Declares Sole Reason for Situa-

The Right Reverent P. A. Ludden,
bishop OF the diocese of Syracuse. in a
statement given to the public today.
analyses the senatorial situation at Al

'Bigotry and the old spirit of Know

for the present deadlock. He ridicules
poor ill-fated Democracy, composed of
strife discord and contention. en-
Dramatically long-eared and starving.
while fighting for spoils."
His intimation that "Knownothing-
ism" has revived, and that Its spirit
is abroad, manifesting itself to the det-
riment of popular government. is con-
sidered as having especial significance
in this State.
1t Is said today that IL the reverend
bishop were living in New Jersey. and
were dealing with the senatorial con-
test just closed. his forceful views
would be strikingly appropriate.
While the practises of "Knownoth-
ingism" were not paraded, 1t is widely
asserted that the spirit OF this narrow
and un-American creed dominated the
activities of the promising figure
who put himself in the van of the fight.
Sought TO Infiame.
1t is now recalled that he sought to
infiame the passions of his most ardent
followers by waving aloft his Scotch
Irish predominance. Aside from this
allusion, his public utterances gave no
clue to the motive which animated his
bitter hostility to the man who made
him.
But men speak differently of the
course he pursued privately and
secretly. Those who were compelled to
submit to his opportunities and threats
relate that the razor back was ever
present. It was manifest in look and
speech. 1t found expression, 1t is said

SCHENK JURY STILL
UNABLE TO AGREE
Defendant in Poison Case Is
Anxiously Awaiting Verdict.

WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. 26.-The
jury in the Schenk case has been out
nineteen hours. and at IL o'clock it
was still waiting for evidence that
would throw additional light on the
tangled testimony.
Much refreshed after a night of quiet
at their hotel the jurors, who are pass
ing on the guilt OF innocence of Mrs.
Laura Farnsworth Schenk for the at
tempt to poison her husband. John o.
Schenk entered the courtroom this
morning and almost Immediately pro-
ceeded to the jury room, where they
are still considering the case. Judge
Jordan was on the bench, and one of
the jurors inquired If he might ask a
question in open court concerning some
of the evidence. he was told to put it
in writing and the court would con-
slider 1t.
Mrs. sSchenk closely scanned the faces
of the jurymen as they slowly filed out
of the courtroom and across the cor
ridor to their room. She looked much
better than when court closed last
night, for at that time she collapsed
and was quite III after reaching her
cell in the tower.
Apparently Wheeling believes that
when a jury held out for hours it is
hung" and sentiment is much in this
direction In the Schenk case. If the
jury is unable to agree 1t will be dis
charged, and the case tried again. like
ly In the Circuit Court Of Ohio county.

EDITORIAL FROM T0DAY'S
N. J. FREIE ZEITUNG.

What the State of New Jersey
has gained by the election of
MARITIME for United States sem
ator in the place of James Smith,
jr., or even Kean, cannot be dis
covered. MARITIME Is and was an
adherent of Bryan, with all that
that implies; talker and, on the
prohibition question, a most un-
certain quantity.
We cannot, therefore, find any
advantage for the State in his
election. That 1t has been q
great victory for Governor Will
son must be conceded. He used
the patronage club with en-
phasis. AS a very prominent
Democrat said the other day;
Wilson has plenty of good things
to give away for the next three
years and this decides matters.
Smith has no offices to divide and
nobody votes for a senator for
friendships sake"
1t is wholly idiotic to talk
about the victory of q principle.
Senator MARITIME was not elected
in the primaries. Governor Will
son looked him up and insisted
upon his election. The Legisla-
ture obeyed the Governor, not
because 1t saw an expression
of the popular will In the alb
surdedly laughable primary cleo
: ton. but because Wilson let these
gentlemen understand emphat-
ically that they need not expect
anything from him II they voted
for Mr.. Smith.
In view of this, therefore, Gov
ernor Wilson is responsible for
the man now, and his actions
later on. He. and no one else.
But the election of Senator
MARITIME may be viewed from an
, other point. 1t shows how dan
gerous the system is that pro-
vides for a popular vote for
United States senator. MARITIME
was a wholly unknown quantity.
Nobody took his senatorial as
pirations seriously. Nobody con-
sidered him to be fit for the post;
and was not Governor Wilson
himself quoted as saying that
Marines election would be a
disgrace to the State? II. then, in
spite of all this. some citizens
voted for him. this may be con-
sidered only one OF those care
less things that happen at cleo
tions, which as often bring about
surprising as they do fatal re-
suits. A system which makes
possible such results can hardly
be recommended to the thought
ful citizen.

Throughout the campaign just closed
the governor preached the text "Prin-
ciples, not Men" He evaded the con-
weapon-patronage- kept majority
of the Legislators in line and the crisis
came at Trenton yesterday. 1t was
plain that the governor was Ill at ease
all through the senator's talk. Repeat
edly the senator referred to the con-
stitution giving to the legislators the
power of choosing senators.
If he noticed the uneasiness of New
Jerseys governor he cared not for in
a manner most emphatic he asked:
To Whom Is Power Delegated.
who should determine the manner
that body of men which was endowed
with this power by the constitution"
Senator Heyburn's subject allotted
to him by the committee on speakers
of the Board of Trade was Problems
of Legislation In finishing his re-
marks, which were received with
stormy applause. the senator said:
Il hope 1 have offended no one and
am sure that you will excuse my can
did and free expression, because you
have invited 1t by asking me to speak
on the problems of legislation"
Governor Wilson, who was the last
speaker, stated that he had not come
to make political speech, but he adj
mitted that Senator Hepburn had
tempted him exceedingly.
But" he continued, "I am going to
show you my good Presbyterian train
ing by resisting the temptation
The remarks of the Governor were
greeted with hilarity and from all sides
came remarks:
Governor Dodges Issue.
GO ahead" go to him" Fall for
the temptation" But the Governor
lodged the issue.
Curtis r. Burnett the newly elected
president OF the board, made splendid
toastmaster. On his right sat Governor
Wilson and on his left Senator Hey
burn. The other speaker was Congress-
man julius Kahn, of San Francisco.
Others at the speakers table were Con-
gresham William H. Wiley, William @.
Besler, vice-president of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey; Frank L.
Shepard, general superintendent of the
Pennsylvania Railroad; William J.
Harahan, vice-president of the Erie
Railroad; Chief Justice William S.
Gummere, Wallace M. Scudder and the
Rev. James A. Solandt. who gave the
invocation.
Toastmaster Burnett after welcoming
the members and guests referred to
several problems which have or should
receive the attention of the Board of
Trade, especially mentioning the
meadow reclamation and the dock i'm
provements.
I'VE are destined to be a great city,"
he said, "and the outlying municipali-
ties will at some time belong to this
city. The publicity campaign which
has now been suggested by our board
and which will soon be begun will help
us TO establish much for the coming
greatness of our city"
The auditorium was richly decorated
for the occasion. During the dinner
Howard Paschal gave several songs.
After discussing the questions In

tariff commission as problems of leg
