NOT A DEFEAT FOR WILSON.

Was Governor Wilson rebuked or
repudiated at the elections last week :?
Well, hardly.
The Democrats lost control of the
Assembly, to be true, but that signi-
fies little to people who understand.
A loss of II Democratic members
in Essex and the election of IL Re-
publicans in their stead explains the
change in the Assembly.
Did the voters of Essex county de-
feat the Democratic candidates to
show displeasure over Wilson's poll
eies? Certainly not.
They defeated the Democratic can
didates because they were men named
by the old machine-the Smith MI
gent combination-and therefore not
friends of the Governor. 1t was not a
victory for the machine over the Gov
ernor-it was a rebuke to the machine
itself
The Republicans who were elected
to the Assembly from Essex county
will prove a smaller menace to the
Governor than though the Smith
Democrats had won.
Instead of having his administra-
etion repudiated, the Governor takes
satisfaction in the knowledge that all
through the State the excellent major
tiles of the year before we're main
tanned which is in itself remarkable,
considering that the State is normally
Republican
In the lower counties, surprising
Democratic gains were made, espe-
cially in Atlantic, Cape May, Salem
and Burlington counties.
The fight seems not to be between
parties-it is between the machines
on the one hand and the people,
headed by Governor Wilson, on the
other. If anybody is defeated by the
machines it is going to be the public.
Governor Wilson's strength as a
candidate for the Presidency was not
lessened by last weeks election. In
his higher ambition the same condi-
tions prevail the people want him
and the machines don't want him.

More than $4,000 Refrained From
Voting at Election According to
Official Returns

According to figures filed in the
Secretary of States office the Demo-
Gratis carried New Jersey at the re-
cent election by $500 votes AS there
was no Governor elected this year,
the only way to ascertain popular
sentiment was by making a compila
ton Of the vote cast for members of
the Assembly. Last year, using the
same basis, the Democrats carried the
State by 14,470 votes. In 1909 the
Republicans carried the State by Al
SOP votes.

Third Rail Dangers.

Atlantic City Press.
The statement before the Public
Utility Commission of a Pennsylvania
Railroad foreman that the passen-
gers will learn awfully quick not to
go near the third rail-" may be sound
philosophy, but it will hardly satisfy
the public on the score of sanity and
human life
The third rail furnishes a pleasant
and necessary mode of travel. No
sane man advocates its elimination
altogether. But it ought to be I'M
lawful for railroad company to lay
the third rail at grade through towns
and cities, mo matter whether the
deadly rail is partly protected by
wooden guards or not.
Taking Atlantic City as a case in
point, the third rail line should never
have been allowed to come into this
city at grade. 1t is almost incredible
that people would sit passively and
see this menace to human life brought
right by their door, within few feet
Of the main arteries of street traffic
and travel, and where thoughtless or
unknowing children may be killed by
II WllHOut uNuCH eHuit III tHcfI pay.
The third rail has its place and
performs a splendid function on ele-
waited roads and in subways. But It
is entirely out of place and fearful
menace to human life at grade.
The day is rapidly approaching
when such medieval madness as the
running of a streak of death" into
the heart of populated district like
Atlantic City at grade will not be toll
Grated. And we believe railroad men
realize it fully.

Considerable comment, pro and con,
is being heard about the State House
/ on the plan OF Sheriff Wedin, just
elected in Hudson county, for jury
reform. He would abolish fees for
Jurors, make the service honorary and
would require every citizen drawn to
serve at least one day in each year.
He would require that each juror
have one weeks notice of the day on
which he is expected to appear in
court, so he could arrange his BUSH
ness affairs accordingly. It is claim
ed that one of the chief merits of the
proposed plan is that it would over
come the objection business men now
make that they cannot afford to leave
their business for whole court term
Some of the comment has been to the
effect that the plan would give much
better quality of jurors than are now
generally obtained. Others who have.
discussed the opinion have taken the
ground that the State needs a jury
reform law under which the sheriff
will not be absolute in the drawing of
juries.
One of the things strongly empha-
sized at the sixteenth annual meeting
of the American Association of Far
mers Institute Workers which just
closed at Columbus, Ohio, was the
need of carrying the scientific know
ledge of farming in a practical way di-
rectly to the farmer engaged in Gull
tiyating his farm. Franklin Dye, of
this city, secretary of the State Board
of Agriculture. who was elected presi-
dent of the Association and who at
tended all the sessions of the three
days meeting, discussed this parti-
cular proposition to-day. He said the
farmers institutes were good and did
much to advance farming, but further
progress was needed to give the far
mers information as to how to put in
to practice what they learn at the
institutes. The great cry of the far
mers now is come and show us how"
said Secretary Dye. Mr.. Dye re-
ferred to-day to the fact that in his
annual report of two years ago ne
recommended that work along this
line be undertaken and now he re-
iterates that recommendation His
suggestion is that several farmers
with farms near each other form
union and jointly employ a scientific
helper, one well up in practical agri-

WHO WON RECENT ELECTION


at Woodbury.. n. j., as second-class matter
WHO WON RECENT ELECTION
Stand-pat papers in the State,
breed opposed to everything DEMO
cratic, Immediately after the election
printed the strange news that the re
suit of the election was rebuke tc
Governor Wilson. To sustain thai
statement they made much ado at the
result in Essex, where the Republican
Senatorial and Assembly candidates
were elected.
The table of the official result in the
State, printed in another column
ought to set at rest the question that
agitates these creatures of the bosses
Those figures show that New Jer-
sey is Democratic ON an off year light
vote by 3,1OO; and the facts are that
there is a gain of two Democratic
Senator'S and several members of the
House, outside of Essex. There the
loss of twelve Smith -Nugent members
changed Democratic majority to a
Republican majority.
The Democratic loss then is in the
county of Essex where the Democratic
Assembly candidates were nominated
as the pronounced enemies of Gov
ernor Wilson, and they went before
the people in no other guise, and it is
generally believed that they election
eered for the very licking they re-
ceived, in order to make the state go
Republican, and then claim that the
election in the State was rebuke to
Governor Wilson.
Well, the nicely laid plans of the
Smith ugent machine carried SO far
as Essex was concerned, but even the
machine-made Republican majority in
Essex failed to overcome the Wilson
sentiment of the twenty other coun-
ties, and the verdict is Enthusiastically
with the Governor.
We have not mentioned the fact that
II of the 10 Sheriffs elected were
Democrats, because there is less poll
tical sentiment in their choice than
legislative candidates, but the fact re-
mains that their election is proof that
wisconsin has not weakened the
party in any county and the loss is
where those who are responsible for
all the strife there is in the party were
in supreme control.
1t is, of course, difficult to foretell
what a year, or even six months, will
develop in American politics, but we
predict that when the Presidential
primary is held next spring, the ma
jority New Jersey will give to make
Woodrow Wilson the Presidential can
didate for his party will be so large
that there will be no doubt as to the
States preference of leaders.
And. that is the milk in the political
cocoanut these men are trying to
crack before it is ripe.

The rapid growth of automobile trav-

caused by the holdups at the toll
gates are far from pleasing to the
motorists. At the Lambertyille. bridge
every automobile is taxed 20 cents,
each way, to cross The farmers are

against toll bridges. Every farmer
who crosses the Lambertyille bridge,

cents each way if he crosses with a
wagon. Many New Jersey farmers
market part of their product in Penn

POOR ICE.
Deliveries in Palisade This Season
the Worst Ever.


The poor quality of the ice deliv-
cred in Palisade this season has been
observed by everyone. Inquiry has
been made by many householders, but
the only answer is that the parties
who deliver can get no other. The
ice used in this section is all natural
ice, but this season it has been filled
with sticks, straws, dirt and other i'm
purlties. SO far, and fortunately, no
harm has come to anyone from the
ice furnished, but there is always a
necessity for cleaning out refrigerat-
ors after the ice has melted, the de
cayed residue of vegetable matter
always leaving a disagreeable odor.
With the present ice that is being
served, refrigerators should be thor
oughly cleaned at least twice a week.
