How the Campaign Progresses
PROGRESSIVE Democratic Republican
LEAGUE
HAS NO TICKET
Will Not Contest Primaries or
Nominate by Means of
Petition.

That there will be nc contest ir
the county elections between the
| Regular Democrats and a Wilson
League ticket was decided last NIGH
at a meeting of the Woodrow Wilson
League in orator Hall. when. aftel
a long discussion. 1t finally was
deemed impracticable to contest the
primaries or to nominate a ticket by
| petition.
Joshua Brierley vigorously advocated
the petition plan, and James Fleming
and Charles N. Hart as vigorously
opposed him. Make the fight in the
primaries" said Fleming, land If we
are beaten, wheel into line"
Mason on Committee.
Charles NJ. Mason, ex-under-sheriff
was dropped from the advisory com-
mittee on charges by William Reyn-
Odds, of the Fourth ward. hat he had
tried Ito put a lot of people in the
Fourth ward in JAIL"
When seen today former Under
Sheriff Mason declared tina HI was
out of town yesterday and had
served notice in advance that his
business would not permit him to
take an active part in the campaign
such as the league contemplated TAX
ing.
II am not interested in what the
league did," said Mr.. Mason. II told
several members of the executive
committee at the outset that | would
not take an active part in their
fight, for it is a hopeless one in my
estimation.
81 spoke against making a fight
against Mayor Haussling at the pri-
maries, as harmony should be the
keynote at this time.
ITS too bad that even the fac
tons can't agree"
william McTague was substituted
from the Fourth ward for Mason.
McTague said he did not wish to take
the place if it would cause any fric-
ton.
While the league was in session the
committees of the Progressive Dem
ocracy of Essex county were holding
meetings at the Harrigan Club, pre-
pairing for their own campaign.
How Situation Is Viewed.
The resolution of the Wilson
League resembling the decision to put
a county ticket In the primaries is
interpreted as meaning that the for
nation of the Progressive Democracy,
mainly of former members
o ( the league and the William Harri-
gan Association. had upset the plans
of the league. Another possible view
is that the Brierley plan of a ticket
by petition might be considered, espe-
cially as there has been discussion
between some of the league leaders
and such Progressives as left the Re-
publican party about uniting on a.
city and county ticket.
The motion resembling the resolu-
ton passed at the last meeting of the
Wilson League providing that a coun-
ty ticket be placed in the field against
the regular Democratic ticket was
proposed by Simon P. Northrup.

JANE ADDAMS ACT
ROUSES SUFFRAG|ST
Ida Hustled Harper Says Her
Stand Has Been Mis-
interpreted.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Mrs. Ida
Hustled Harper, suffrage lecturer and
writer, and formerly in charge of the
press work of the National Woman
Suffrage Association, says that the
suffragists who respond to the blan-
dishments of Theodore Roosevelt and
the National Progressive party are
making a great mistake. And she
says that when Miss Jane Adams, OF
Hull House, Chicago. first vice-presi-
dent of the National Woman Suf-
frage Association, vent as delegate
to the Progressive convention and
seconded Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination
she undoubtedly did so without
dreaming of the effect her action
might have on the suffrage cause.
Miss Adams isn't an old hand
at suffrage work." Mrs. Harper said
yesterday. she came into the ma
tional organization only about a year
ago, telling us that she felt the i'm
portanee of the vote for women so
that she must find time TO
work for 1t at least a little.
There is no more reason for suf-
fragists to ally themselves with the
National Progressive party than
there was for them to ally themselves
with the Populists when that party
made advances to Them

THE NEW TRAINING OF THE GUARD.

oTs HERE has been slow progress in the Improvement o I the
militia since the great Civil War, and virtually no prog
ress was made until a few years ago, when the Dick law
was passed by Congress and the war department took hold of the
problem. Little could be expected of civilian governors and OF
legislatures composed of men who had no idea of the require
mems of a military establishment. Occasionally armory drill and
a weeks outing at Sea Grt comprised the training OF the New
Jersey militia OF service in the field it knew nothing, and as
there never was any mobilization the field officers were as raw
as schoolboys. There were staff officers, too. appointed by favor,
who were ignorant of the first duties of a soldier. Companies
were more in the nature of social clubs than schools for the
soldier and regimental politics forbade true discipline. All that
mas become changed. A new spirit, born of the Dick law, imbues
the National Guard-the organization means something now. 1t
is military. The training of the guardsman is on military lines.
Witness the maneuvers near New York, in which National Guard
and regulars cooperate. The guardsman who goes through a
few Of such experiences can well say that he is fit to be a de-
fender of his country and deserves the name of soldier.

VETO OF TARIFF REFORM.

m LII the results of the legislation by Congress at this
IN session to relieve the people of their intoerable burdens
growing out of the PayneAldnch tariff must go for
naught. President Taft has now vetoed the wool revision bill
in a surprising message, and he is prepared to veto all the other
tariff bills now before Congress. The reasons presented in the
message for vetoing a bill that twice passed a Democratic House
and a Republican Senate are so weak, so trivial and contrary TO
the facts that they demean the President, who thus sets up his
arbitrary will and the selfish interests of the wool trust against
the twice expressed Judgment of Congress and the desires and
needs of the American public. The duty of Congress in this
emergency, forced upon the country by Mr.. Taft. is to enact the
wool bill over his veto. Let the House a~ndNSenate do that and
the country will ring with applause.

PRIVATE BANKS SHOULD 90.

IT n another year or two Illinois will have no private banks
Those now doing business are merely being given time TO
wind up. These concerns ought to be barred by law in
every State. Too often they are swindling traps for ignorant
foreigners, who take the word "bank" on a sign as a State or
government guarantee. Every little while one of these private
banks is found closed, while it's proprietor is at a safe distance
with the little all of his weeping victims, usually his own com
patriots. And in Europe these loots are laid to "the American
banking system" With the postal savings banks, backed by
the government and absolutely secure, now in operation, the
private bank has no longer any excuse for existence.

A U CANAL BILL.

IT INSTEAD of cripplng the national benefits of the House
canal bill, the Senate has improved upon 1t by amendments
that seem to safeguard the national interests in every re-
hpect. The audacious claim set up by the Senatorial repre-
sentatives of the railroads, that we are inhibited by England from
giving any advantages to American commerce not also conferred
upon foreign shipowners was efectualy squelched, ana oe-
signs of the transcontinental railroads to control the canal
traffic. by operating their own ships in a way to kill off competi-
ton by other American lines and thus preserve the rallroad
rates fixed by them. were defeated. Moreover, by one amend
ment, no vessel in the coastwise trade owned or controlled py d
corporation violating the antitrust act is to be permitted to
use the canal. Logically, the government should not lend It's
property for the furtherance of a crime against its own laws.
There are twentyeight senators who think otherwise, as they
are recorded against this amendment. The canal Dill goes PACK
to the House and there is not likely to be any important change
made in it. In it's principal features it expresses the will of the
nation whose interests and welfare it safeguards.

A VOTING MACHINE COMPLICATION.

eS HERE is a voting machine puzzle to solve in New York
State, which has 1000 of the machines in a number of
cities and towns. The State election law provides for a
separate ballot for presidential elections, and that is not pos
sible by machine voting Whether the voter can vote partly by
machine and partly by ballot is a question for the attorney
general to struggle with. The belief is that the device would be
illegal. But machine voting is not more popular in New York
election districts than in New Jersey, where they have been
abolished, and probably this complication will hasten their de.
parture from New York State.

JUSTICE HARLAN DIED POOR.

1Ta HE late Associate Justice John NJ. Harlan, who well de-
serves a national monument, left an estate worth only
$4,000, and therefore, as his salary was cut off, his family
was unprovided for. A fund of $4,000 is to be subscribed for
their benefit. That the distinguished and honored jurist should
have died in comparative poverty is a tribute to the man that
nothing can add to. At a time when three sordid and smirched
Federal judges are gfbbeted for the public contempt the example
of Justice Harlan is inspiring. But why should it be possible
