PE0DLeRS ACT DECLARED VALID

The Supreme Cuort yesterday
upheld the validity of the ped
dlers act in two cases, which
were consolidated, those of the
State of Arkansas against P. L.
Rogers and L. P. Barnhill, both
appealed from the Greene County
Circuit Court, Justice Hart rem
dering the decision and Justice
Wood dissenting. The defend
ants were convicted in a justice
court of selling vehicles for the
Spaulding Manufacture Company
of Grinnell, Ia, without paying
the peddler's license as required
by the act of 1909. The Circuit
Court of Greene county affimed
the judgment of the justice of
the peace in assessing fl n e
against the defendants, and this
judgement was affirmed by the
Supreme Court. The Supreme
Court had previously rendered a
decision in the case of the State
of Arkansas against Crenshaw
in which it upheld the validity
of the peddler's act, and could
find no reason for changing its
decision in these cases.
The Spaulding Manufacturing
Company recently filed a cross
complaint in the United States
District Couet. attacking the
validity of the statute, asserting
that it is unconstitutional. be.
cause of the fact that the COM
pany is engaged in interstate
commerce, has no agency or
warehouses in Arkansas and
simply takes orders for its We
hicles and ships them to its pur-
chasers from its factory or its
warehouse in Memphis.

THE PEOPLE PAY THE BILLS

The New Jersey law provides
that state officers be docked for
every dav they are off the job.
That's sensible law. Suppose.
just suppose the same law ap-
piled to congressman, senators
and officers in other states even
Arkansas would public business
be neglected for politics as it is
Most campaigns these days are
conducted at the expense of the
people, because most aspirants
for office are on the public pay

advancement of personal ambi-
ton and fortune the public pays

MORE lN6RATlTUDE

While the Wall Street sympa-
thizers are expressing their indig-
nation over Governor Wilson'S
ingratitude in relieving himself
Of the Harvey support, why do
they ignore a much more promi-
nent case of ingratitude. Mr..
Harvey can not claim to h ave
created Mr.. Wilson. He was an
early supporter a d doubtless
contributed some to the early
advertisement of Governor Will
son, S availability. But Governor
Wilson's candidacy is based upon
what he himself has done, not
upon what anyone has said about
him. But in the case of Presi-
dent Taft, he owes his nominat-
ion and election to the active sup
port of Mr.. Roosevelt. The gen.
eral opinion is that Mr.. Taft was
impressed with the idea that his
intimacy with Mr.. Roosevelt was
a political burden, and so it is re-
ported that Mr.. Taft never con-
suited Mr.. Roosevelt at all in re-
gard to cabinet appointments.
In fact there is a grave suspicion
that Mr.. Taft in compliance with
assurances give before the
election, turned the cold shoulder
to Mr.. Roosevelt as soon as the
election was over, and now he
has the temerity to run as a can
didate for rejection without ask
ing the aid or consent of the ex-
president overheard or the ex-
presidents right to throw Presi-
dent Taft overheard, notwith-
standing their long and intimate
relationship. Why is Governor
Wilson picked out for special con-
demnation?

SAM AKN0TT
KILLS MARSHAL
|. Y. NASH

City Marshal |. Y. Nash was
shot by Sam Arnott here Tues
day night about 10 o'clock and
was taken to Texarkana where,
he died in the sanitarium the day
following at 1.30 o'clock
The shooting Occurred in front
of the Commercial Hotel and was
witnessed by several bystanders.
The trouble between the two
men may not be correctly known
but it is thought that the trouble
resulted from a 9rudge or preju-
dice of long standing, as Sam
Arnott had at one time been
Marshal of the town and had at
various times filled the office of
night Watchman.
Arnott was arrested and car
ried to the county jail at Arkd-
delphia and was to be given a
preliminary hearing here today,
but owing to the burial of Mr..
Mash it could not be learned that
the trial would take place today.
Nash's remains were bought
back here and will be buried this
afternoon in the Beirne Cemetry.
He leaves a wife, a son and a
daughter, and was very promi-
nent in fraternal circles, being a
Mason, Odd Fellow, Woodman
and Maccabee.

the STEEL SCHEDULE

The ways and means commit
tee has reported the bill reducing
the iron and steel schedule, 1t
IS very satisfactory measure
and was unanimously indorsed
by the democratic cancus. That
does not mean that no one disir-
ed amendment. On the contrary
efforts were made to change the
tariff on several items notably on
steel rails and pig iron, but these
failed. Free rails could have
been justified on the ground that
there is a trust in steel rails and
the platform of 1908 proposed
the free list, as a means of fight
ing the trusts but some of our
democrats do not regard plat
form as binding when it runs
contrary to their wishes The
bill provides for free iron ore and
that is both victory for the con-
sumer and a rebuke to the demo-
Gratis who voted two years ago
for tariff OH iron ore On the
whole, the bill is a step forward
and deserves hearty support.

EPIDEMIC CEREBRO-
SPINAL MENINGITIS

The appearance of cerebrospi-
nal meningitis in serious epidem-
form III Texas and sporadical!y
in numerous placesin other states
has intensified interest in this
dangerous disease. In the last
issue of the Public Health Re-
ports is timely paper by DR..
w. H. Frost which covers the
history as well as our present
knowledge of t h is disease.
Through the studies of recent
years for vital points concerning
this disease have been practically
settled, namely, the identification
of the causatlve organism, the
diagnosis by examination of the
spinal fluid, it's effective treat
ntby the antimeningitis serum
and the location of the infective
agent in the nose and throat of
those afflicted as we'll as on that
of r ny healthy carriers.
Fluoce-a says that healthy car
riers are 10 times more numerous
than recognized cases of menin-
gifts a.ld IRE more than ten times
as ~~olic.c IS a source of infection
for others. It will thus be seen
that a determination of all car
riers by examination would be a
most difficult matter, while ri
gid alerantine of either houses
or cor..24I9.ties on account of
cerebrospirel meningitis seems
ordinarily anjustifed. Bacteri-
ologic examination for the pur-
pose of discovering all carriers
would be mnpracticable and if
this could be carried out they
would be difficult of control
There are. however, some gener-
al measures that will undoubted-
ly aid in preventing the spread
of this disease says the Jodrnal
of the American Medical Associ-
alton. Among them the early
diagnosis and isolation of suspec-
ted cases and prompt serum
treatment, perhaps in special
hospitals during epidemics. The
following of proper hygienic re-
gulations by individuals no doubt
will aid. The infective is agent
found only in human beings and
is believed not to survive ong|
after separation from the host.
Notwithstanding this fact how
ever, its somewhat cratic spread
during epidemics is still. much of
mystery.

ARIST0CRACY'S LAST STAND

me following editorial which
appears in a democratic paper re-
Gently. well illustrates the old
view which is giving way before
the march of democratic senti-
ment. It reads:
It IS too much to hope that will
be reprnsented in the democratic
national convention by men Of
force and character that would
have been selected had other
means than the one adopted been
put into operation, especially as
the committee having the matter
in charge, has provided that the
delegation shall go to that con-
vention bound with instructions
that will hamper them in the
true discharge of their duties to
the party.
The mode Of procedure for Sc
lecting delegates is we'll known.
Under the present arrangement,
some gentleman who thinks he
would enjoy the novelty of a trip
to Baltimore and the participat-
ion in naming a candidate for
the whole party, will announce
that he is for this or that man
who has been prominently named
in connection with presidency.
If he himself, is well enough
known, and the candidate that
he has selected in his own mind
Is the popular choice Of the state
he will be elected, provided that
the primary ticket is so arranged
that he will receive fair show
in>the balloting.
The binding Of the delegation
TO vote for theIcandidate that re-
ceives the most votes in the state
will deter the really strone men
from becoming candidates. No
man Of prominence and strength
will care to go TO the ceVenslon
so Handicapped that he can not
use his nest judgement in the Sc
lection of a candidate for the
presidency after he has come in
touch with those who are the
real president makes. No man
of strength cares to be mere
automatlon.
1t is therefore pretty sure that
the delegation will be composed
of mediocre men, and not of the
best talent and force we possess.
Here is aristocracy. making its
last stand. 1t has been custo-
merry for years to instruct dele
gates but it was done by conven-
ton, but now that the votees are
to instruct we are told that the
really strong men will not care
to be delegates. Since they will
no longer be at liberty to confer
in secret with the real presidency
makers and nominate man
whom they can control, they will
take their dolls and go home.
Too hodi But the country will
survive not only survive but pro-
fit by the retirement of the strong
men who have been running poll
tics in the interest of predatory
wealth.
Aristocracy is dying hard but
it is dying.
The house of lords in great
Britain was compelled to sur
render its power of veto and so
the really strong men, the presi-
dent makers makers must con-
sent to speak for the people or

WANT ARBOR

Acting City Attorney Joseph E.
| Stricken, should have the hearty CO.
operation of every business man in
Perth Amboy and vicinity, particu-
larly the large shippers, in his eff
forts to secure facts to lay before
the government Board of Engineers
at the hearing on local harbor i'm
proyements. to be held in New York
next Tuesday. While there are many
excellent arguments for the develop
ment of the local harbor, there is no
doubt that Mr.. Stricken could make
his remarks more forcible if he had
some figures regarding the amount
of shipping done in these waters to
back up what he says.
Every one must realize the great
| advantage to be derived by this city
from a deeper channel and better
facilities for vessels. The time is
at hand for Perth Amboy to do
something. We have been very lax
in this matter and have finally had
the project thrust upon US from the
outside. Now that the government
has given us recognition and is
showing enough interest to have a
hearing regarding our needs, all
without so much as our asking for
the attention, the least we an do
is to appear before the board with
o I~rge representation and present
our case in a way that only Perth
Amboy can.
Mr.. Stricken is fully capable of
setting forth the demands of Perth
Amboy and he should not be handi-
capped for the want of details to
press home his points. His appeal
sen to the various industries, ask
ing for figures regarding the amount
of shipping done, should receive
hearty response. Perth Amboy is at
last aroused and now is our oppor-
tunity. .

Cleveland, the only Democratic
President the nation has had since
the Civil War, refused to sign it.
The mere fact that Smiths chief
lieutenant is James Nugent, of New
ark, is enough to discuss every re-
spectacle Democrat with Smith. Ow-
ing to their relations, Smith must
stand for everything that Nugent
stands for and there are few men in
public life today who have such a
foul record as the latter. 1t will be
a sorry day indeed for the New Jer-
sey Democracy if they should allow
Jim" Smith to become the party's
choice to a popular vote for United
States senator.
With such a man as William
Hughes to vote for in expressing
this preference the Democrats should
find it an easy matter to roll up a
big majority for the Paterson man
next Tuesday. While Smith repre-
sents everything that the people do
not want, Hughes is decidedly a man
of the people who can be depended
upon to carry out rue Democratic
principles.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-09-20
HUGHES OR SMITH?

With the Withdrawal of John w.
Wescott, Of Camden, from the SEN
atorial contest in the Democratic
party, the fight for the Endorsement
of the people for United States sen
ator, as far as that party is con-
cerned, becomes a clean-cut issue
between the r~eactionaries and the
progressives. While there is still
another candidate besides William
Hughes, of Paterson, who is backed
by the progressives, and former
Senator James Smith, Jr., of New
ark, who is a standpatter and a re-
. dictionary of the deepest dye, this
candidate can be passed over with
little consideration as there is hard
ly any chance of him receiving the
popular vote in the party. The third
man here referred to is Frank M.
McDermit, of Newark, who was a
candidate for United States senator
at the primaries against James E.
MARITIME and whose vote at hal time
was insignificant.
With the situation thus cleared
up it ought not to be hard for the
Democrats to decide how they will
express their preference on primary
day. There is all the difference in
the world between Hughes and
Smith. The former has a good re-
cord in congress and is recognized
among the Democrats as a progress
i've, favoring all. the measures that
progressives of the Democratic party
stand for. On the other hand, Smith
stands for the boss system in poll
tics which the people all over the
country are now casting off. Smith
has controlled the Democratic party
in this state for a great many years.
Under his bossism the party has
been almost continuously defeated.
His record as United States senator
proves him a traitor to his party, as
he was one Of the small group of
Democrats in the upper House of

A MAN OF THE PEOPLE.
[From Newark News

4NC"S'J r
William Hughes Of Paterson, Demo
cratic candidate for United States SEN
ator, is both popular and progressive.
The fact that he has been four times
elected to congress from the strongly
Republican Sixth district is sufficient
evidence of his popularity, and his rec
ord In the house, together with his
earnest support of Governor Wilson,
proves his progressiveness.
The opinion was formerly held by
many people who did not know him
that there was a good deal of the
~demagegue about Hughes. This opin-
his campaigns he has made special ap-
peal to the laboring men for support
and has been the persistent and eff
fecttve advocate of labor measures In
congress. 1t would be strange If Mr..
Hughes ~sympathies were not with the
wage earners, and he has unusual
claims upon their sympathies in re-
turn. He is one of them. When only
ten years old he went to work in a
thread mill and for years thereafter
worked at the loom, in his spare mo-
ments gathering the education that
has fitted him for playing a part In the
broader sphere of human activity. His
efforts In behalf Of labor legislation
were born OF the knowledge that he
then acquired OF labor and its needs,
| and the measures with which his name
has been identified have been both con
sentative and constructive. There Is
nothing of the wild eyed agttator
| about Mr.. Hughes. His Ideas are both
sane and practical.
Even while a member of the minorf-
ty in the house Mr.. Hughes had claim
ed and won recognition for force and
ability, and when the Democrats came
into power he was at once awarded a
| place among the leaders. He was fore
most in insisting that the party prom
Use to curb the power of h speaker

thor Of the plan finally adopted taking
from the speaker the power of appoint
ing committees. This reform in house
procedure. his eight hour bill n his
bill for the appointment of an indus
trial commission are his most widely
known achievements, but they do not
comprehend by a good deal the sum of
his activities.
There is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Hughes is In complete accord with
Governor Wilson's progressive views
and hat If elected United States ena
tor he would very effectively strength
en the progressive forces In that
stronghold of privilege and %standpat-
ism. 1t is doubtful II two men could
