and woke him up. President Taft had
set the example and shown the light. The
President of the United States, with a
dignity and reverence becoming his high
office, had not only refused to speak on
politics on Sunday to a crowd that had
long awaited his coming, but had advised
all to go home and get ready to go to
church.
I'm contrast Governor Wilson. who as
pires to the Presidency, had arranged to
address a Sunday meeting at which he
was billed to deliver a political speech.
Upon reading of the Presidents attitude
there was confusion In the Wilson camp.
Even Joe Tumulty became alarmed.
There was fear and there was trembling.
What would the church people say2 There
wa a case of call of and with no ex-
PLANTATION.
Another instance when Wilson could
not explain. SO didn't attempt to. Was
it love or fear Of the Almighty that
caused the change in program, or was 1t

Let me- digress a moment: The pa
pers say the Hoboken folks witnessed a
good vaudeville show, composed of sing.
ing, dancing, funny storytelling and the
like. In their minds eye they could also
enjoy Governor Wilson in a 'two-faced'
act and various turnabout or %acrobatic
feats to slow or lively music.
Not being flirts we s~uffragettes can

not have to truckle to Governor Wilson,

II am a native Newarker and made my
living as a music teacher and school
teacher before my marriage to a we'll
known German-American of this city.
My father was James Shannon. He an
swered President Lincoln's first call to
arms and fought for his country's cause
under General Phil Sheridan.
We'll do l remember the courteous
treatment accorded us by Mr.. Smith when
he was serving as United States Senator.
He took especial pains to see that every
attention was paid to us, a delegation of
school teachers, on a visit to Washing
ton, even delegating his secretary to es-
cort us about. Quite different with Gov
ernor Wilson. My husband, who is a
Democrat, says, and sensibly, that Gov
ernor Wilson is a poor reasoner. The
Governor tries to make it appear that
Mr.. Smith is the only man against him,
yet doesn't attempt to explain why so
many prominent men aud voters in other
States also repudiated him, despite his
claim that what is true in one State is
not true in another.
II think they are all against him, and
for good reason. We surely don't care.

SHsHE fiction of the dissolution" of the Standard Oil Com
Il pany as a result of the prosecution" of the trust by
AttorneyGeneral Wickersham is now being exposed in
the suit in New York of stockholders of the Waters Pierce Oil
Company, a subsidiary of the Standard. BY the alleged reorgan-
ization all the constituent companies of the Standard were sup.
posed to be dissolved into independent units having no relevancy
to the parent organization, or trust, the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey. There were left, the public was told, no inter
locking directories. But in the case of the Waters Pierce Com
pany it is now shown that at the annual election of the company
three men identified with the Standard appeared with proxies
for 2,059 shares, given to them by John D. Rockefeller and held
by him and associate interests to vote upon in the election of
officers. These holdings represent SO per cent. of the stock. The
other stockholders resisted the voting of this block of stock,
and hence the suit. 1t transpires that the trust directors still
hold daily meetings at the old stand, 26 Broadway. When, soon
after the court decree and the dissolution, Standard Oil securities
went up in value a total of about $3.50, 100000 the public said that
the whole proceeding was an elaborate farce. And it was.

Carl Schneider, court attendant in

last week fora couple of days with what
the doctor called a slight attack of heart

time, but as the attack passed away
soon paid no further attention to 1t.

that he was wanted In the courtroom.
He stuffed the cigar hurriedly in the up

later he met Joe Ellis and said;
"Joe, I feel that attack coming on again.
I have an awful pain right here" n
Carl placed his hand over his heart.
"open your coat" said Ellis.
Schneider did so, and a puff Of smok

WILSON AND THE GRADE CROSSING.

NOVERNORW WILSON'S veto of the legislative bill providing
MI for the abolition of railroad ~deathtraps in New Jersey
violated a solemn promise to the people in the Democratic
platform last year and outraged the sentiment of the State.
Governor Wilson's avowed reason for the veto was that the rail
roads should not be compelled to pay the expense of changing
the grade of the tracks at the crossings, as provided in the bill.
Today Governor Wilson asks the Democratic voters of New
Jersey to indorse his presidential candidacy as a reason for his
BETRAYAL of his party platform and as a tribute to his soHcitude
for the selfish interests of the railroad corporations as against
human life in this State. Until today the New Jersey public
has had no opportunity to express it's sense of Governor Wilson's
veto. Today the Democratic part of the public is given the OPP
uortnnitY at the ballotbox.

ENdLAND,s RECURRING LABOR CRISES.

TIA NGLAND faces a new industrial crisis, a heritage of the
IL previous ones that menaced the government, caused the
gravest apprehensions and were unsatisfactory settled.
The Transport Workers Federation, which is powerfully organized
in control of all the transport service of the kingdom and there
fore of its food supplies, has issued it's defiance to government
and threatened violence against any measures taken by govern
nent to insure the distribution of food to the population Of
London. In olden times when serious industrial troubles arose
the government provoked a war with some other power and
drafted the truculent ones into the armies. Nor has that device
been altogether discarded. War in Europe is more likely to be
brought on by social discomfort and labor uprisings than by any
other cause. England may yet find it an escape from threaten
ing ills at home.

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY RESULT TODAY VITAL

eTaHE gladiatorial struggle in the Republican primaries ended
today. President Taft continuing on up to the hour of the
opening of the polls, in order to have the last word and
throw the last brick. AS far as Mr.. Taft is concerned the result
in New Jersey is vital. If he fails to carry the state oy a
majority of the votes the result will be conclusive. A few dis
trict delegates, if he secures them, will absolutely have no signih-
canoe. He will know in Washington that his last hope is ex-
iinpuished. And Republicans who have favored Taft should
desire to have the struggle end today and not be carried to
Chicago with momentous consequences, as may happen if Taft
should secure a majority in the New Jersey primaries.

ABOVE BOARD AT CHICAGO.

VA Y HATEvER is done at Chicago by the managers of the
WV Republican national convention should be open and
above board. The announcement from Washington that
the national convention will hear all contested delegate election
cases in secret has an unpleasant and ominous sound. The
American people detest star chamber methods, and those who re
sort to them usually have sinister objects to serve, and the
present emergency in the Republican party is of a character to
forbid secrecy in the matter of hearing and deciding the cases
of delegates. It is fair to say that decisions coming out of a
star chamber committee at Chicago would be received with
popular derision and anger.

I'VE suffragettes needn't TAKE Governor
Wilson's gratuitous insult to women on

Industrial Exposition to heart. No in

so why should we poor mortals care
On the contrary, we should consider our

who has but a passing regard for the
national and State Constitutions, the Ten

Not q Sacred Concert.
Governor Wilson was announced to
speak at a political meeting in the Gay
ETY. Theatre, a vaudeville house, in Ho-
boken, Sunday night. 1t was not to be
a sacred concert, you understand. Just
a benefit political meeting for the fur
therance of the Governors Presidential
ambition.
II took no exception to the ~nnounce
ment Of his prospective appearance as the
top liner or star attraction, at a Sun
day night political soiree in a vaudeville
theatre, but even went so far on Satur-
day night as to assure those at a meeting
he addressed that he would be on hand
Sunday night as promised and placarded.
This, after due consideration as to
proprieties and dignities, and after first
vehemently declaring that 1t would be
wrong. unpardonably wrong, for hin to
entertain the idea of taking part in a
Sunday political show, much less actually
appearing.
But did Governor Wilson ever win any
medals for doing the right thing? We
understand not. Governor Wilson should

WHO DECEIVED THE PRESIDENT?

IT IT is evident enough that some of the statements of fact by
Mr.. Taft in his speeches, made in sincerity, were not of his
personal knowledge, but based ON information from others.
For example, Mr.. Taft said that the Roosevelt administration
verted into a surplus of 4 0,000,000. Roosevelt, pointing to the
treasury figures, shows that during his administration a surplus
of $3O0.0O0O0 had been used to dig the Panama canal. And no
answer comes from Mr.. Taft But who was it deceived the
