t~icians. II ever Middlesex needed
a sheriff "on the job" every minute
1t Is right now. With appeal after
appeal being sent in to his office for
more deputies and better protection
from strikers in various sections Of
the county. there is plenty for both
the sheriff and the deputy sheriff
also to do.
We well know that Sheriff Boil
schweiler is an alternate delegate to
the national convention, but as he
is only an alternate his presence is
not required, and even if he were a
regular delegate, his first duty is to
the county of Middlesex now involy-
ed in one of the greatest labor dis
turbances in its history. His
place is here at home in person.
al charge of the situation. Is the
| game Of politics the only thing the
| sheriff can think of?
At the most critical period during
the entire strike in this city. the
sheriff became peevish and went
home, leaving one end of the city
in riot and disorder. The adjutant
general of the state militia, who was
here at the time, insisted that the
sheriff be produced. 1t was Dr.. w.
e. Ramsay who came to the sheriff's
rescue and, realizing what a spec
tacle he was making of himself,
aroused him from his slumbers and
got him before the adjutant gen
eral who administered a well de-
served rebuke for his irresponsible
1ty at such a time when real men
were needed to handle affairs.
That the lesson did not have
much effect. however, is evident by
the fact that today the sheriff has
deserted everything at home, leav-
ing assistants to handle the mobs as
best they can, and gone off on a po-
litical junket absolutely care-free as
far as his own responsibility is con-
cerned. We wonder how long the
people of the county will have to
put up with this sort of thing.

SCORES AGAIN.

The EVENING NEWS again
scored yesterday when it appeared
on the streets about 4 o'clock civ
ing the news that William j,
BRYAN, who Is leading the Progress
i've forces at the Baltimore conyen-
ton, was defeated by Alton B. Par
ker for temporary chairman of the
Baltimore convention, by a vote OF
579 to $40. This, without doubt,
is the most important news that will
come from the convention because 1t
shows clearly hat the Conservatives
and the Reactionaries are In con.
troll.
The EVENING NEWS presented
this important fact to It's readers
within a few minutes after the
votes had been counted at Balti-
more, the news being flashed direct
to this office by special wire,
This Is only a sample of the way
the EVENING NEWS arranged to
cover the news Of the political con
v~entions for the benefit of Its read
ers. We were hours ahead of any
newspaper coming to this city with
the news OF Parker's election vester-
day. This Is merely in keeping with
our policy Of giving the new when
1t is news.

WHERE is THE SHERIFF.?

Rioting and %bloodshed continues
in various sections of MiddleGex
county. Perth Amboy has recently
passed through the ordeal and we
know what 1t means. Today the
strikes have spread to the enorm-
Gus Industries in the borough Of
Roosevelt, and to the clay works
along the Raritan river. Two of the
factories in this city are still closed
and New Brunswick is also affected.
Mobs of drunken strikers march
up and down the Raritan river
threatening employees of factories
who do not join them, wrecking
buildings, holding up traffic, even to
the United States mail carriers and
otherwise disregarding all sem
Nance of law and order. The truth
is, Middlesex has not faced such a
serious situation for many years and
the end is not yet.
But where is the chief peace off,
cer-the high sheriff of the county
Is he bearing the brunt of the bur
den at this time, as 1t his duty to
do? Has he assumed the RESPONSE
bility of protecting life and proper
ty at such a critical stage when his
good offices are most needed?
No, he has not. Where Is Sheriff
Bollschweiler during this crisis? He
as at Baltimore disporting with the
politicians gathered there to attend
the Democratic national convention.
He has Il away, as 1t were, and
left the people who elected him and
who are paying his unearned salary
to protect their lives and their
property as best they can. Little
does the sheriff care, apparently,
what is happening in Middlesex as
long as he can play the part of a
good fellow" at a political conven-
tion.
: To be sure he has left a deputy
sheriff behind to look after things.
But at such a time as this it Is not
customary to turn such serious af-
fairs over to subordinates and go
on Bkylarking with a crowd of poll

APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM.

1t ought to be pretty hard to re-
sist an appeal to patriotism. Acting
Mayor Garretson's statement in yes
terday's EVENING NEWS, calling
attention to the need Of funds by
the Fourth of July committee
should be needed. Perth Amboy
was the first city in the state to
| adopt the safe and sane" celebra-
ton of the nations birthday and 1t
! has met with decided success.
The sale of irecrackers and all
other explosives has been prohibited
in the city and no one is allowed to
shoot Off fireworks of any kind here
that have been purchased elsewhere.
The effect has been most noticeable.
We do not believe the people could
be persuaded to go back to the old
| method of celebration. The noise
and racket Of the day, the fires,
frightened horses, burned hands and
| faces, not to mention the more seri
| Gus and even fatal injuries, have
| been entirely eliminated, for which
| we are all thankful.
But it stands to reason that we
cannot take away from the children
their old form of amusement and not
substitute anything In its stead. Re
allzing that every parent has spent
more or less money on the Fourth
of July celebrations heretofore, the
committee on arrangements, which
has been appointed, has felt justified
in calling upon these parents to
make their contribution to the gen
eral fund instead of spending it In.
diyidually. In this way it has beer
customary for the past two years tc
raise about $4,000 including the
$500 appropriated by the Board o
Aldermen.
1t is realized, however, that this
year has been an unusual one in the
matter of making donations. We
have had several conventions here
which the public has been called
upon to assist In financing. We
have had a Y. NJ. C. A. campaign fol-
which the city has been canvassed
thoroughly and we are now raising
a fund for the fremen's parade ii
the fall, not to mention the great
water carnival under the auspices
of the Inland Waterway Association
to be held here next month. While
all these things call for Il great dea
Of money we have just passed
through an industrial crisis which
has stirred the city and interferet
greatly In the Fourth of July com
mittee's work. For these reasons
therefore, the fund this year is no
as large as In former years. Their
Is still a week in which money cal
be sent to the committee, however
and It is hoped that all who hay'
not as yet contributed will heed thu
mayors appeal for aid and make
contribution no matter how small
may be.
The features arranged for tn
Fourth of July will make a most at
tractive day. In fact. with tn
elimination of the parade the pro
gram Is even more elaborate thar

GRAND JURY FINDS NO VICE
Gives West Hammond, Ill.,, Clear Bill
of Moral Health.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-After an exciting
day in the criminal court building,
the September grand jury submitted
report to Judge Richard Burke
which knocked the props from under
the vice crusade carried on by Miss
Virginia brooks of West Hammond,
the committee of fifteen" and its
attorney, Carl A. Waldron, and other
reformers.
The jury reported to the court that
it had given all witnesses ample op-
portunity to submit proof of charges
of vice which had been made to the
public and deprecated the fact that
such persons had made statements
which they We're unable to substanti-
ate.
The jury adjourned without recon-
mending the impaneling of a special
grand jury, or the appointment of
special prosecutor to go into the vice
question.

Recommends Progressive Public Work

Panama, Oct. 2-Belisario Porras,
former minister at Washington, was
inaugurated president of Panama. He
took the oath of office read by the
president of the assembly at the Ma
tional theater. This building was
crowded with diplomats, members of
the assembly and officials of the canal
zone.
In his inaugural address President
Porras reviewed the necessities of the
country. He recommended the en-
actment of legislation prohibiting the
reelection of the president He
urged the construction of the railroad
from Panama to David as a means of
developing the country.
President POrras referred to the
benefits which the country would de,
rive from the construction and open
ing of the Panama canal. The inter
ests of Panama in this work, he said,
were second only to the United States.
There was a large procession after
the Inauguration ceremonies, in which
all the organizations of the canal zone
participated. The inauguration was
the most brilliant in the history of
Panama The inaugural ball will be
held on Saturday night.

drich Tariff act and because he vetoed
the non partisan bills reducing the cost
of living.
Is there Roosevelt Progressive any
where who criticises him for this? We
have heard of none. The quarrel ie
personal.
Some of the trusts are for Taft and
some are for Roosevelt. Some of the
bosses who collected and spent Mark
Hanna's big corruption funds are for
Taft and some for Roosevelt. The
great predatory interests against which
the people are in revolt have split, as
the politicians have done, but they all
are for the extortionate tariff, and
working overtime prophesying panic
and disaster.
