DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION NOW.

@RGANIZATION is the life of a political party. A strong
w and compact organization can make amends for numerical
weakness. Poor organization may convert a majority
party into a minority. Political warfare is not unlike actual war
fare. A welLorganized and disciplined force can bear down<upon
and scatter a mob, however large or well entrenched. Organiza-
ton gave to the Republican party it's long succession of victories
in State and nation. When the Republican organization became
disrupted by insurgency the Republican party went down in de
feat. Organization saved the Democratic party from extinction
during the years of it's hard reverses. 1t survived the Civil War,
il maintained itself in defeat after the war, and finally put Grover
Cleveland into the presidency for two terms. 1t was crushed in
1896, only to rise again and sustain disastrous defeats in three sue
cessive presidential elections. But Democratic organization in
those dark years kept alive the Democratic spirit, and behold the
great victory in the fall Of last year, due alike to the tenacny with
which Democrats chung to their organization and to the de-
moralized condition of the Republican organization. In New Jersey
the Democratic party was held together during sixteen years of
defeat, and it came up confident and aggressive in every State
election until last year, when, as in national politics, Republican
organization was weakened by dissensions, and then the power of
organization asserted itself. Democracy swept the State by a
splendid majority. But what shall be said of Democratic organi-
zation for the campaign of 1911, which is to have a most important
bearing on the next presidential election and the political com
plexion of the next Congress? July is well advanced, and it will
soon be time for Democrats to get together and prepare for one of
the most momentous contests in this State. Reverses have
sobered the Republican malcontent. Republican organization is
recovering from it's ills. Defeat was a good purgative. Shall vic
tory prove to be Democratic demoralization? And shall it serve
to invite defeat by neglect of organization, by lack OF leadership,
by those fatal divisions and dssensions that sap the life of a
political party and lead inevitably to defeat? By organization,
wisely led, the Democratic party can recover complete possession
of the State government by electng a Democratic Senate with a
Democratic Assembly to adopt a program of genuine legislative
reforms that will make this State unique in it's laws. What Demo
Trenton. Policies long neglected or ignored, such as conservation
of the States natural resources, will be given form and vitality.
But Democratic organization is the first essential, organization
that shall unity the party, silence its discOrds, instil the old milf
tant spirit into the party and make Democrats feel the enthusiasm
of a party campaign fought for Democratic principles and for
Democratic success.

tically beyond the reach of the poor
is plainly a thieving corporation.
The STARS free ice fund, which has

EVERYBODY FOR A CITY ICE PLANT.

TA ROM all sources have come strong Endorsements of the recon-.
mendation for the establishment of q city ice plant in the
Pequannock as a safeguard against a real or artificial ice
famine in the summer and as a defense against the inhuman greed
of an ice monopoly. What is ice but water CONCEALED by the cold?
Newark now supplies its population with water from the Pequan-
mock, distributed from reservoirs through mains and pipes. The
water in the reservoir is city property. 1t is manufactured into ice
in the reservoir by Dame Nature, and of a quality far superior to
he trust ice cut on the Hudson and containing disease germs. The
Pequannock ice is absolutely pure, and it is owned by Newark. On
what principle is it improper for a city that owns a watershed
and sell the same water in a frozen state? If ice were a luxury
which could be dispensed with there might be some force in the
objection TO a city ice plant, but it is a necessity, and in hot
weather an urgent one. The lack of ice is a great hardship, and in
too many cases means death. The State has been up in arms
against the Vaccinations of a water combine, seeking to get con-
troll of the peoples water supply. Should We, when we have the
means of protection right at hand, be content to remain at the
mercy of a soullesse ice monopoly that takes advantage of a period
Of suffering to restrict the supply and put prices up to a point that
is prohibiive for the poor? 1t is a wretchedly poor plea to make
that the community should thus submit because an ice plant might
pollute the water supply. The plea is a crafty pretense, and those
who offer it are not honest. Newark can fortify itself against mid
summer heats and organized greed by cutting and storing ice in
HE watershed. Let it begin next winter.
