ONE OF OUR STATE INSTITUTIONS.

oTra HE story of how the industrial school for colored children
at Bordentown was run until recently would make a
good libretto for a comic opera. This institution was
supposed to teach farming, but the inmates were sent away in
the summer to work as walters at the summer resorts, and the
place was allowed to go to seed. Chickens were dying of old
age, the herd of cattle had as many bulls a S cows, and all of
them were tubeIcular. What produce the colony did manage to
raise was not allowed to be sold. A committee of the State
Board of Education found these absurd conditions a year ago,
and has been working to make the school a genuine training
farm for negro children. But what sort of supervision of State
institutions do we have when such a farce can be carried on for
years at the public expense? And where all that time were the
members of the legislative committee on this school?

WILSON NIGHT IN FORUM
TURNS TO T. r. MEETING

NEW YORK, Oct. lit was Twill
son night" in the Peoples Forum,
Broadway and Seventy-sixth, street,
last night, but a printed program
counts for little when a majority of
the audience has other views, and
Colonel Roosevelt's friends were so
greatly in the majority in the Forum
audience that the Rev. Henry A.
Stimson, pastor of the Manhattan
Congregational Church, who was in
charge of the meeting, had difficulty
in keeping the discussion concentrated
on the Democratic candidate for Pres
ident. The applause, being Pro-
gressive applause, was most vigorous
when Wilson was criticised, not when
he was praised.
Charles ii. Mason. of Newark, dean
of the New York Law School, said
Governor Wilson stands for the open
door in politics and government" and
will be able to lead the country to
prosperity and peace. G. c. Dobbs, a
stock broker, taking issue with
Mason, told of the prosperity" the
country is likely to see under a Demo-
cratic free trade administration.
Dobbs said Wilson may be a fine gov
ernor, but it does not follow he will
make an equally good President.
II was in the Civil War-at Gettys-
burg and other places" he explained,
and l tell o there is many a fine
observation-disclosures who makes a YER
poor colonel. President Taft is one.
and I believe Governor Wilson is an
other"
The Progressive and Republican
parties will have a Sunday evening
later, when their policies will be the
sole topic.

THE MAYORS SALARY.

oTA HE mayor to be elected next month will receive $4,000
salary, and the Office, if it is properly administered, is
fully worth that salary in a city of the size and impor-
etance of Newark. The Office of Governor of New Jersey has a
salary Of $4,000, but the Governors duties re not as numerous
! and exacting as those of our mayor. The Governor can absent
! himself from the State about six months in a year and spend
a summer in politics without, perhaps, any fragrant neglect of
duty, but the mayor of Newark has very little leisure. The city
administration is a vast business establishment and the mayor
las the oversight of all its departments. All the important
work of the Common Council and the Board of Works, as well
RS of the educational and other boards, is referred to his judg-
ment, and he has these boards on his hands throughout the
whole year, while the State Legislature is in session only dur
Ing about a fourth of the year.

CAMDEN g. O. P. PLANNING
AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN

CAMDEN, Oct. with the object
of putting something like ginger in
the campaign, the Camden County
Republican Executive Committee will
meet today to plan for a series of
meetings. Besides the usual ward
and district meetings. there will be
two large gatherings in the city and
two in the county at which speakers
of national renown will be present.
The Democrats. as well as the Pro-
g~ressives, are likewise making prep
arations to make matters more inter
esting.
There is considerable speculation as
to whether the Progressive party in
tends placing a full ticket in the field
with respect to City Council and other
minor offices.

WILL SIR THOMAS TRY 1T AGAIN?

ca IR THOMAS Upton still has his eyes on that Americas
cup, and is on his. way TO New York TO see about an.
other race for the famous yachting trophy. 1t is now
six years since he last competed for it, and that was for the
third time. If he concludes to make a fourth venture the race
cannot come off this year, as ten months must intervene be

TAFT ELECTORS ASSURED

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. IA petition
bearing between 5000 and 5000 sig
natures has been filed with the secre-
tary of state asking that names of
eight Taft and Sherman electors be
placed on the ballot by petition. The
action is taken to safeguard the in
terests of the Taft wing of the Repub-
lican party in the State in event that
a compromise is not reached between
the followers of the President and
those of Colonel Roosevelt.
Unless a compromise is had the Taft
electors must go on the ballot with
out party designation, and the oddly
would thus be presented of the Re-
publican nominee not carrying his
party designation, while the Pro-
gressive party rival (Roosevelt) car
ries the Republican label.

tragedy on record, and it's worst feature is the killing of three

Take n presidential compaign.
Add a generous dose of speechmaking,
coupled with frequent dashes for

predictions from all over the country

WILSON, ATTACKED
ON TRUST RECORD
T. R. Leaders Say Governor,
Under Jersey Law, Could
Have Dissolved Monopolies.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Replying to
the attack Governor Wilson made
pom the Progressive candidate in
indianapolis last Thursday, when he
charged him with being responsible
for the existence of many trusts and
an enemy to union labor because OF
obligations to the steel trust, SEN
ator Joseph M. Dixon, in charge of
the Bull Moose campaign, and Henry
f. Cochems, head of the speakers
bureau, have made a statement
which follows in part:
For two years MI. Wilson has
been governor of the State of New
Jersey, and boasts of his control of
a reform Legislature. Ninety-fve per
cent. of the predatory trusts and
monopolies of the United States have
their home in the State of New Jer-
sey. Every day of the last two years
MI. Wilson has had in his hands
more power to control these trusts
than all the State and Federal courts
of the United States combined. The
constitution and statutes of New
Jersey provide:
THE charter of every corporation
or any supplement thereto or amend.
ment thereof shall be subject to al
teration. suspension and repeal In
the discretion of the Legislature. and
the Legislature may at pleasure dis
solve any corporation
Every day since Mr.. Wilson ha.
been Governor he and his Leeisla
ture have had the power under thu
law to drive every dishonest trusI
from New Jersey, to compel All
amendment to it's charter or to oual.
ify it's articles of organization unde,
this provision of law. During thes,
two years he has not uttered a word
public or private. He has not RAISED
a finger. He has not whispere,
against the brutal injustice by whiel
is sheltered every crooked and often
sive trust in the United States. VIVA
is the result?
1t is because, as shown by tn,
State ~treasurer's report of New Ter
sey, these trusts and monopolies pa,
into the treasury of New JERSEY NOR,
than six million dollars a year in fee,
for the privilege of deriving thei,
right to do business and to prey upo,

of the United States are entitled /,
know from this distinguished mai
why he has maintained his silence i
1t is not because this filthy stream O.
