THE STATE PLATFORMS.

tn LA~TFORM.MAKING at Trenton yesterday followed the old
familiar lines. The resolutions were prepared in confer
ences in advance of the conventions and were subjected to
The same processes of addition and subtraction that all previous
platform resolutions had TO undergo. There is the smell OF the
lamp in every clause, with an obvious squirting at the November
elections for the effect of the platforms upon candidates.. 4 may
be said of the Democratic platform that it is remarkable mostly for
it's omissions. There is not a word in the platform about the inrha-
live referendum and recall. The Geran law is by far the most I'M
portant and the most prominent subject that has been before the
people of this State since the beginning of the year, and we nave
Just emerged from primary elections in which the rgors ana com
plications of this drastic law were acutely felt. 1t was natural
therefore. that the public should look for some declaration in the
Democratic platform either for the maintenance of the law intact
or for the modification of its oppressive requirements. But the sub
iect is completely ignored. Nor is there anything said OF the Walsh
commission act, which has been repudiated by a majority of more
than five thousand in the municipalities in which elections nave
been held under the act. The Walsh commission act was second
The Republican platform demands the simplifcation of the election
laws and that demand accords with the great popular sentiment
The Inference from the Democratic platform is that there shall be
q relaxation of vigor of the regulations that make voting in cleo
tions a burdensome duty for the citizen. The action taken py
Judges in removing from the sherihs in Atlantic and Hudson coun-
ties their power to draw the grand juries because of indictable
acts committed bv these shenfs has revived the question of grand
Jury reform. Both party platforms promise legislation looking
TO changes in the grand jury system, but without pointing out a
method. No question has been more thoroughly discussed in recent
wears. II was seized upon at different times as a pretext for greatly
simplifying The power of judges, giving them the right to select the
grand iuries. in reversal of the theory of the grand jury system,

ously The fact that the two sheriHs have been disciplined by the
Judges for acts in contraventon of their official duty shows that
the present system is susceptible to reform without any radical
and hazardous departure in the way OF taking from the people all
control of the method of selecting the grand jury.

a SWING BACK TO CONSERVATISM.

NV EW JERSEY is naturally Il conservative State. That has
AM been its character ever since the State government was
formed. It's people have always looked with distrust upon
radical propositions in their politics and have accepted changes
only after their utility has been proven. But when the New Jersey
electorate makes up its mind TO effect an important change IN the
laws nothing can stop il, for conviction is then translated into
action. The reform of the railroad laws in 1906 was made lrreslst-
ible bv the popular sentiment. The Legislature could not resist it,
But that reform was the outcome of years of thought and discus,
sion. Legislature after Legislature convened and adjourned with
out I'M reform until the ground swell came in 1904 and 1905. Last
winter The conservative traditions of the State were fairly swamped
by new and radical legislation, the principles of which had never
been considered by the people and were entirely new and strange
to them. A legislative departure so extraordinary bewildered the
State 4 seems that its members acted under some hypnotic in
huence. Ifa sane voice was raised during the session it was shouted
down. There were suggestions of much more radical innovation in
another wear. But then came a pause for reflection after the Legis-
lature had adjourned. The conservative sentiment of the State
which had been thrust aside began to assert itself. That it has at
least partially resumed its sway was made evident at Trenton yes
terday in the proceedings of The two party conventions and the gen
eral tone of their resolutions.

former years were held by parties sep
arately and were conducted by the re-
spective parties themselves. The first
change was when all Of the primaries
were held together, although conducted
separately. Now the Republican cleo
ton officers have to sign the returns Of
the Democratic poll and vice versa.
While there formerly did not seem to
be any antipathy on the part of voters
to changing from one party primary TO
the other in succeeding years, they
did object to the feature of law
which compelled polling in one room,
though In different ballot boxes. But
the Geran law goes one better In this
regard when a voter goes to the pri-
mary. Before he can receive a ticket
he must announce the ticket he will
vote. A number OF intending voters
IN Tuesday refused to say which ticket
they would vote and left the polling
places in high dudgeon over what they
considered the gross injustice of re-
quiring them to announce publicly their
politics. One individual said the Geran
law was designed to prevent voters
from changing their politics. In a case
that occurred in one of Newark's sub
urbs a candidate for an important
office could not even vote for himself
because he had voted in the primary
of the opposite party a year ago. Let
us get back to common sense and en-
courage independent voting by a high
regard for the secrecy of the ballot.

Anent Bankruptcy Matters.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
It is quite a pleasure to follow the
facts as they are presented in your
paper about the proceedings Of the
bankruptcy cases, and the methods en-
ployed to give the creditors an ECO
nomical accounting and the percent
age of the assets rightfully and fairly
due them.
The writer shared no original inter-
est In the mysterious $57, 900 mentioned
in one case, and he has no personal
concern in the matter, but your cam
paign has indeed awakened and sus-
tanned public interest and the people
now wait for further knowledge of
case with increased interest.
Your publicity of these proceedings
can only serve to bring about better
conditions and a fairer course of pro-
cedure in future instances.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
! would like to write a few words
in praise of the Evening STARS noon

working people of the city. Heretofore
they have had to buy New York pa
pers to read during their lunch hour,
but now they can get a paper with all
the local news in it. Every day 1 see
how the working people make use of
this benefit, because I work in a large
down town shop myself and see the
number of people who go out and get

lunch. l am sure hat there are many
other people who feel the same way
about this as / do. WORKINGMAN.

u REORGANIZATION.

TN EORGANIZATION OF The big trusts under The Sherman
IN antitrust act is a task of great difficulty and labor. A.
vast machinery must be taken apart and everything recon
structed, with new parts to take the place of rejected ones. How
to reorganize to keep within the mandate of the United States
Supreme Court without complete Generalization of the business
and destruction of immense values created under the existing form
of organization becomes the first great problem for the most ex-
pert LAWYERS to solve. In the cases of half a dozen great trusts the
problem seems to have been solved, as their managers have ex
pressed their Willingness to enter into agreements with the ator-
ney.general, or have already worked out reorganization plans.
Naturally, the organization effected will be criticised and attacked
as merely evasions of the law by those who desire 10 keep up an
agitation harmful to business, but the commonsense of the cOun-
try will recognize the fact that the trusts now have substantial
reason for q sincere compliance with the law and that their best
interests demand that they act in good faith.
