Down by the sad sea waves at Asbury
Park. Thursday. there might have been
cool breezes but there was hot wave for
time when the state Democratic COM
mittee held session and deposed James
Nugent from the craftsmanship. James,
1t will be remembered, at social and
private gathering" administered gratu-
itous and uncalled for insult to Governor
Wilson. This was denounced by all good
citizens. and the committee of which Nu-
gent was the head decided that he was
not fit to preside over their deliberations.
They insisted upon meeting to take
action, but James, as chairman, refused to
call 1t. The secretary did, however, sum-
mon the members. and they got together
on Thursday. A motion was made to de-
pose Nugent and then the fun began. The
chairman opposed the presence of man
who was in on q proxy, and after vainly
attempting to get the latter to leave peace
fully, the followers of Nugent forcibly
elected the fellow and the epithets used
were on par with those at the 'ssocial
affair" while the methods were about
equal to the language. Finally elected
from the room the man with the proxy
was carefully guarded SO that he could
not return, and this broke the quorum.
Nugent was in smiles when Senator Low
unexpectedly arrived, the quorum was
completed. and the ''sociable" chairman
ordered to abdicate. This action, he says,
does not settle the matter, because he
claims It was not legal. But that is his
fight. There was time when there was
something like harmony in Democratic
ranks. but that is not the situation today.
OF course Republicans do not care how
much they fight and keep apart. but there
is no desire on the part Of decent people
In any party to have disturbances caused
by insulting remarks made by some fellow
even In social" manner. As has been
observed before, Governor Wilson, as
public man, Is subject to just criticism for
bis remarks and his acts, but he should be
protected from Insult, whether 1t comes
from the ignorant or from those of intel
ligence. He is Governor of New Jersey,
and is entitled to the respect of the citi.
zens of the state.

COMMENTING on assessment of proper
ties the Newark Nesos thinks assessors
should be appointed, thus being removed
from the temptation OF playing for popu-
larity among the voters. The Idea is that
assessors favor certain persons, and the
fact that votes must be obtained to secure
retention Of the Office Is a drawback to
just assessment. This may be so In many
localities. In Burlington county the work
OF the assessors this year does not show
any noticeable occurrence of the kind
mentioned. The assessments apparently
are honest and the disposition of the asses
sors Is to bring values up to where they
properly belong. In one or two instances
the Board of Taxation has had occasion
to demonstrate with the officials and sug-
gest changes. With one exception the
suggestions have been kindly received.
and the revisions offered have been acced-
ed to without objection. In the other
case the assessor stood upon his dignity.
said he had taken his affidavit that the
work had been properly done, tsthere were
his books and that settled it. On the
whole, however, the assessors of Burling-
ton county are reasonable set Of men,
and do not feel hurt II they are asked to
readjust values where such course can be
followed In justice to the general valua-
lions. In Essex county the Board was
compelled to return two books for revision
In one instance q new assessment was
ordered. The Burlington county Board
has made several suggestions and correc-
lions, but up to the present time there has
not been any necessity for sending books
back for new assessments.

UNDER the new school law the State
school authorities have the power to con-
denim district school buildings that are
not properly constructed or are otherwise
unit for occupancy. Twenty-Five school
buildings in Passaic county have now
been condemned and cannot be used by
the districts In which they are located
until necessary improvements and changes
are made. These schools are all in four
townships and one borough. The action
taken by the State commissioners in
Passaic will doubtless be followed by
similar action in other counties. There
are scores Of schoolhouses In New Jersey
that are unfit and even dangerous. 1t Is
the duty Of the school district to provide
school buildings and sites and to furnish
them. and too often the school district
board Is either parsimonious or neglectful.
Men get on these boards who are incap-
able of school management. The old
State Board Of Education did not have
the power conferred on the new board and
could not discipline the district boards, SO
these boards have built and maintained
scheolhouses as they pleased and without
any supervising authority. Under the
new law there will be a salutary change
in schoolhouse conditions In the smaller
districts Of the State where these condi.
tions prevail. -Nepark Star.

TUESDAY, AUGUST Is, 1911

Four counties In New Jersey haye been
for several years operating under the
smaller Board of Freeholders act Of 1902
Passaic, Monmouth, Hunterdon and
Middlesex There has been no suggestion
seriously made in any Of them that re-
turn be made to the old plan Of popular
representation, whereby each township,
borough and ward elects member, and
one who Is personally popular In his dis
trict, regardless Of his qualifications.
Neither has there been complaint that
the administration of the three, five OF
seven Freeholders has been less efficient
than that given by the larger boards. On
the contrary, public business has been dis
patched with greater promptness and
several thousand dollars have been saved
to the taxpayers of the four counties.
Essex county Is to try the new plan next
January, and In November will elect q
board Of nine members to do the work
now performed by more than fifty. each
of whom Is more interested in securing
al he can for his own particular neigh.
borhood than In serving efficiently and
economically the people of the whole
county. - Trenton Times

Heiiodorus, the Mad Monk" OF
Russia, whose motto is, I'VE must
pray to God noisily'' has declared war
on the Jews and the Russian inteili-
gent classes According to cable
dispatches, the massacre will follow
the forthcoming congress OF the
Black Hundreds.
From all indications, the decree of
the Med Monk" Is not causing any
alarm to the Gear, hut the helpless
meu women and children, Of the
Volga region are panic stricken.
III Mad Monks decree does not
affect the Car, as he is neither a
Jew, nor is he intelligent The C7ar
granted Heliodorus an audience last
June and perhaps he succeeded IN
placing the fanatic under contract to
confine his efforts to the Volga dis
1trict
Although the mad Monk" is only
81 years old. he is probably the most
talked OF man in the Russian church
and his influence is so great, the
secular clergy has been powerless.
The audacity Of this monster is
startling, and in this enlightened age
it does not seem possible that he
would be permitted to order the
wholesale murder of thousands of
innocent people and remain at lib
erty long enough to surerintend the
Job
Siberia is large and so is the Gar $
ARM The best method of prevent
ing the massacre and 60 forever sup
press the Mad Monk, would be to
send him to the salt mines and there
he could pray as long and as loud
as he desired
Last February the Mad Monk
and his band of fanatics successfully
defed decree of the church trans
ferrinc him from Tsarltsyn, by bar
Reading themselves within the
church and refusing to partake OF
food OF sleep until the order was
rescinded.
At this time the Car was present
ed with an excellent opportunity OF
riding Russia of the entire tribe of
fanatics. by ordering the church to
stand pat"
Some day the Jews ard the inteill-
cent Russians will arise in one mass
and crush the Mad Monk and his
aand of fanatics into the earth. The
Car may escape the mob, but Satan
will be waiting for him in the end.

bonds. They tell us that these bonds
are still hanging over the heads of
our tax payers and that some day
they will come up for payment with
interest for all these years. We
know that the county commissioners
paid Attorney NJ l., Bradley $4,000
of the peoples money to make a pre-

say it was not settled, That deal was
like expecting Charlie Curren to
