THE END OF THE ROPE.


The whole state is deeply inter
ested in the upheaval now going on
in Atlantic county. Justice Kalisch
has started In at once to clean up the
corruption that has made Atlantic
I City famous In a way other than
being a great seaside resort. During
Governor Forts term of office there
was much talk of sending the state
militia there to enforce the law. But
sober Judgment prevailed and the
state was saved this disgrace. The
only way to enforce the law is to
enforce 1t and we have civil author
tiles sufficient to do this If they only
will. 1t seems that in Atlantic
county they refused, and the court
did not have backbone enough TO
force them to. Governor Wilson,
however, put a man on the supreme
court bench who, like all the other
appointees OF the present governor,
is capable Of tackling the hardest
problems.
Justice Kalisch fully understood
| the Atlantic situation before he went
there. As usual, the sheriff had
packed" the grand Jury with men
who could be depended upon to ig-
more their oaths for the benefit of
the gang" The Justice bounced
the whole bunch" pronounced the
sheriff unfit to draw Juries and had
a panel named hat satisfied him.
This new grand jury has been at
work only a few days, but the reports
that have come from the secret
chamber have sent the cold chllls
running down the backs of the ring
leaders.
1t begins to look as II a new day
is dawning for Atlantic City. Let us
hope it will not result as disastrously
fas it did for Long Branch. 1t will
be remembered that It was a supreme
court justice who ended the wild
career Of the gamblers at the latter
place. 1t was none other
than former Governor Fort then on
the bench, who brought this about,
The blow was a staggering one and
as the resort had nothing else to fa1l

back on it has never been able 20
recover.
The corruption at Atlantic City,
however, goes still deeper than the
lawlessness at Long Branch. In the
south Jersey resort the matter CEN
ters about the ballot box, the very
foundation of the government. But
it has been the corrupt political
ring that has given protection to all
the law breakers. If Justice Ka-
lisch is able to smash the machine
it is likely that the resort will not
be run so wide open as at present.
What effect will this have on the
business of the place? VIII the peo-
pie continue to flock there by the
thousands when they cannot do as
they please? We believe they will
for Atlantic City has built more So
curely than did Long Branch. 1t
will be a safer resort than it is now.
There cannot help but be a great
moral up-Iife that will have its in
f1uence all over the state.
The laws are made for the people
of Atlantic City as well as the rest
Of us. When they are enforced i'm
partially, as they are about to be,
New Jersey need not hang her head
in shame whenever the name of her
leading resort IS mentioned.
