ANOTHER ACCUSED COUNTY SHERIFF.

I'D ERGEN county may have an elisordrawn jury, too Justice
lid Parker charges the present grand jury to indict the sheriff
and Board of Freeholders for permitting the escape of a
notorious and dangerous New York burglar from the Jail at Hack.
ensack Two weeks ago. The freeholders had with characteristic
neglect left the Jail insecure, while it was the shrifs duty to see
that the prisoner had no means of escape. The present grand jury
was drawn by the accused sheriff, and Justice Parker hopes that it
may not be necessary to discharge the jury and have a new one
drawn by eisors to act on the sherihs case, and probably that is
what he will have to do in the end. But it is. a distressingly awk-
ward proposition to put up to a grand jury drawn in the usual way.

When you and I have done our trick
n finished up our business here
The bunch with which we once were
thick
VIII drop, perhaps, a briny tear;
But they'll regain their wonted cheer
And grief for us will cast no pail.
For though we think we're lots, my
dear,
We're not so many after all!
The jobs we hold and that we think
Nobody else can ever fill,
The minute we are on the blink
Some one will quickly fill the biYS
The game of life will go in still
Summer n winter. spring and fall
So, though we think we run the mill
We're not so many, after all.
We needn't think we set the pace,
We needn't think we have the call,
There's always some one for our place,
The hole we leave is pretty small;
When we are through, the human race
VIII still go on, this earthly ball
VIII keep upon It's course through
space
We're not so many, after all!

LEGISLATIVE ADJOURNMENT IN ADVANCE.

weeks or fractions of weeks. If important passed bills have
not been acted on by the Governor the Legislature will take a

The last hold of the railroad
machine was broken in exactly
one month after the legislature of
1911 convened.
The struggle that broke this
hold came as a test of strength
between the corporation forces
and the forces of the new ad-
ministration, in reference to the
office of superintendent of
banks.
This position was originally Gre
ated for Alden Anderson, who had
become wealthy and prominent
under the old regime and had fill
ed the position in a manner fairly
acceptable to the bankers. after its
creation. When the Southern Pa
lcific company in s1910, was cast
ing about for candidate for gov
lernor who would represent South
Iern Pacific methods and the inter-
'ests of big business as well, Ander-
son was selected.

in the primary campaign from
March to Aug. 16, 1910. An
derson, though then in office. de-
voted himself exclusively to poll
tics. All of the efforts with which
we have become SO familiar, intim-
idation, coercion, persuasion ind
threats, were used by big business
and the old machine in the cam
lpaign for Anderson's nomination.
TRICKERY. PLOTTEDsM
Anderson had announced in
March, 1910, that upon entering
his campaign he would resign as
superintendent of banks. He con-
tinued to hold on, however, until
July 1, when he sent resignation
to Gov. Gillett.
The primary election was held
Aug. 16 and the governor, acting
In conjunction with Anderson, did
nothing with Anderson's resigna-
ton between July 1 and Aug. 16.
Anderson was overwhelmingly
defeated Aug. 16, because of the
direct primary. Thereafter he
continued as superintendent of
banks. On Dec. 1, to the machine
leaders, and to the governor and
to Anderson, there occurred a
lscheme by which Anderson could
hold on to the office. representing
the old regime under the present
administration, for another four
years. On that date, Dec. /, the
governor pretended to accept An
derson's resignation of July l.,
1910, and thereupon reappointed
Anderson for the full term of four
years from Dec. /, 1910.
PROGRESSIVE CAUSE AT
STAKE
The theory upon which the long
primary campaign of the present
administration had been made was
that the government of the state
of California should be made re-
lsponsive to the people alone, and
SO far as officials were concerned
that no divided allegiance between
the state and private interests
would be tolerated.
Anderson, in the long fight, rep
resented the antithesis of this
principle. He was the open expon-
ent OF corrupt Southern Pacific
politics and in addition he repre-
scented dn his official capacity a
particular banking interest. He
was rich, influential and behind
him were high finance and big
business.
At the very commencement
therefore, of the new administra-
ton, it was frankly stated that
Anderson could not and would not
be permitted. to remain in office.
A bill was prepared and submit
ted to the legislature that would
EFFECT the removal of Anderson by
changing the term of office of the
superintendent of banks.
