of the words of that act. 1t provides, in

Says Act Condemns Monopoly.

The men who were in the Congress of the
United States at that time knew what the
common law was about the restraint OF

Then. in the second section:

contain Chinese tea, were also found
full of opium. Some boxes labeled
ginseng also contained the drug. The

Despite the p~rohibitory law OF
1909, which makes IT Illegal to bring
into the United States smoking opium,
opium smoking still prevails in this
country to al alarming extent and Is
finding its new victims largely in the

Bile partially by drug struggled from
Canada aud along the Pacific coast,
and partly by the manufacture of
smoking opium in this country from
crude opium brought in as a medicinal
drug. OF this smuggled article more
than 100000 pounds have been seized
In the last two years. In 1910 more
than 400, 900 pounds OF the drug were
brought In as medicinal opium. 1t is
estimated that at least 100000 pounds
were successfully smuggled across
the border in 1910, and that 10000 ad

ture stood in the way. The
fight Governor Fort had with
the Board of Guardians dur
ing his term of Office Is still
fresh in our memories. The
legislators were under control
of the bosses who were work
ing in the interest of the pub
lie utility companies. These
bosses would not let the law
makers pass the bills that
were introduced with the in
tention of carrying out the
promises of the people.
But these bosses are still in
control of the Republican par
ty. AL these bosses were on
hand at the state convention
this fall The platform was
drawn by them. The Repub-
lican assembly candidates are
friendly to them. In fact, one
of the Republican assembly
candidates in Middlesex this
year, was q member Of one of
those hostile legislatures
that former Governor Fort
speaks about.
Yet these men have the au-
dacity to ask you to reflect
them when they are condemn
ed by their own campaigners.

RECALL OF JUDGES.

New York has been greatly
aroused during the closing days of
the present campaign over the ex-
posture of what is believed to be tho
sale of the nomination for judges.
The Brooklyn Standardization, a few
days ago, showed that money had
actually been paid for the privilege
or being nominated for Judge on
the Tammany ticket. Naturally the
statement created a sensation and,
Judging from the entire press of
New York city. it looks as If the
judges who were involved in the
scandal will be defeated next Tues
day.
In commenting on this the New
York Herald takes the opportunity
to show where the recall Of judges,
which is being advocated in some
section of the country, is not neces-
sary. The Herald says:
There has been much agitation
of the application of the recall to
judges. Here is a concrete instance
In which 1t Is about to be applied
in advance. No candidate In this
day can stand under the blight of
an imputation that he has paid
money for a nomination to the
Bench, and no recall would be nee
essary If nominations were scrutin-
lied In the full light of day as is
being done just now in the City of
Churches.
While it is true to a certain ex-
tent that this is a recall of judges
in advance and 1t is likely that they
will not be elected, yet suppose the
Brooklyn Standard-U Union had fall
ed to Expose the deal before the
election and these men had been
successful at the polls. Then, sup
pose after the verdict had been Civ
en- and the men seated on the bench,
the people had been made aware
that their nominations had been de-
liberately purchased, what chance
then would there be to unseat the
men? With Mr.. Murphy In control
of the legislature and all the state
machinery, there would be little
chance of impeachment and men
who would do such a brazen act are
hardly the kind that would resign.
Thus the people would be helpless
while their court would be a dis
grace. 1t is plain that In such an
instance the recall could be put to
good account, even in the judiciary,
and the people at a special election
could Gust the men and elect sue
cessors.
The EVENING NEWS is not an
advocate Of the recall of the judici-
AIRY and is not yet convinced that 1t
is a good thing to be adopted. but
the usefulness Of such a system Is
forcibly brought out by the editor
iaI in the Herald. That newspaper
is opposed to giving the people the
chance TO reeslI : suass after once
elected, but 1t seems TO rejoice
greatly that the recall has been put
into effect In advance.

SELF CONDEMNED.

II fought for that legisla-
ton for three years against
the reactionaries and interests
in the Republican party, and
we did not get it,"
Thus spoke former Govern
or Fort, one Of the Republican
campaign orators this fall, at
a mass meeting held in Eliza
beth a few days ago. The
former governor was speaking
in behalf of the Republican
ticket IN Union county, but he
told the truth about the
Board of Guardians which
constituted the state house
ring under Republican con-
troll, and declared that but for
the interference of such men
as Baird, Murphy, Strong and
So
others, the Republican party
would have been able to fulfill
its promises. Now these men
are seeking to regain control.
II is up to you, MIR. Voter,
whether they do or not.
Former Governor Fort, at
the Republican mass meeting
in Elizabeth, instead of at
lacking the administration of
his successor gave it hearty
praise. He declared the laws
put through the last legisla-
ture, through the efforts of
Governor Wilson, were just
what he had tried to have en-
acted while governor, but that
he was thwarted by a hostile
Republican Legislature.
The failure Of his party to
keep its promises, the former
governor declared, was re
sponsible for the overwhelm-
ing Republican defeat last
fall. The time had gone by,
he said, when voters could be
hoodwinked by false pre-
lenses, and no political party
could remain long in power
when it betrayed the people
who had placed the reins of
government in its hands.
Everybody knows that for
mer Governor Fort was elect
ed on promises similar to
those made by Woodrow Will
son. We all know that he re-
commended the fulfllment of
those promises. With both
houses of the Legislature Re
publican, being elected on the
same platform as the govern
or, the wonder is, why the
promised reforms were not en-
acted. Why was it necessary
to wait until the voters had
ousted the Republicans before
the laws demanded by the peo-
ple were passed.
Former Governor Fort savs
