porting with the urgency of the
crisis.
We are not pleading for or
against either candidate Of either
party, but are urging that in view
of the unsettlement Of mind just
now prevailing in regard to almost
every great question, blunder
committed at this juncture is GER
tain to be a momentous blunder
and liable to be fraught with in
calculable disaster.
If man has brains, now is the
time to use them, and if he has a
conscience, now is a good time to

4 NEWSPAPER criticism was
n passed the other day upon
Police Commissioner Waldo
of New York for giving to the pub
lie his information regarding the
delinquencies of certain of our
courts, instead of putting that in
formation in the hands of the bar
association or of other parties quail
flied to take action in the premises.
To criticise the commissioners
policy in the matter is to forget
that it is public sentiment really
that is the moving force in all civic

In a country like our own. any
movement that can be named, hav-

1t is the people really that gov

Otherwise. it is because such SEN

with that unanimity or ihsistence
that constitutes it a practical
force to be respected and taken ac-

So that while, as it appears. the
bar association is shaping its own
investigation in way to lay a
foundation for possible definite ac-

In that way any man, official or

The thing is settled before the

It is settled by the condition Of
public sentiment as that sentiment
exists, even prior to going to the
polls; and the point at which wom-
en- in all these years past have
been reereant has been in their
failure TO assert their prerogative
as sentiment-makers. a prerogative
belonging to them as much as to
the other sex, and one also which. if
they will. they can probably exer-
else more effectively than the 9TH

The practical question which con-
fronts them, and to which they do
not seem to have given specific al

ACADEMY GIVES
OUT DIPLOMAS

The Newark Academy this morning
closed its 10th year. As usual there
f'were no public exercises, the diplomas
being awarded TO the graduating class
and the honors announced in the pres
ence of the school at the opening ex-
e%rcises. The members of the graduating
class finished their examinations a few
days ago, but returned to school this
morning to receive their diplomas.
After the usual reading of the Scrip
ture and prayer, Head Master Wilson
'Farrand addressed the members of the
dfth form, who We're seated at the
front of the room. He praised the class
end the individual members for their
record in scholarship. a~ttainments la
athletics and the leadership they Ind
maintained in the school. The things
the academy had tried to teach them
were the essentials of success, honesty,
Industry and perseverance, he said.

brought them success IN their school
lives and that would bring them success
In the broader field of the world. he
edded. He urged them that they might
know themselves, their strength and
their weaknesses, in order that they
might accomplish the most possible for
themselves in the world. He urged
them to pursue their callings with their
whole hearts. but, at the same time,
70 guard their physical strength, to con-
tinue their study and education through

life. and to do something to benefit
the world about them.
Then he presented the diplomas to the
members of the form, who were greeted
with applause as they came forward.
Besides the regular graduates Donald
King VanRiper completed. a special
course.
Mr.. Farrand then announced the hon
ors, which were more In number thai
usual. The special prize offered by the
Alliance FRANCHISE for the best work in
French during the year was awarded TO
John A. Miller, Jr. Carl A. Giese was de-
barred from the competition for this
prize because he won it last year.
Special mention was made of the fact
tina one of the members of the class,
Henry A. Williams, has not missed a
single school day for five consecutive
years. This is believed to be unequaled
IN the history of the school, aud is the
more remarkable because young Williams
comes from Paterson and has made the
long trip every day. He is the son OF
Robert Williams, president of the Public
Utilities Commission
Announcement also was made that a
chapter of the honorary fraternity Alpha
Delta Tau had been formed in the school.
This fraternity has recently been organ
lied IN IL few of the leading preparatory
schools of the country, and is intended
to do for the schools what the Phi Beta
kappa does for the colleges. Students
are elected to IL on graduation, and to
be qualified a boy must stand in the first

that he will lose any of these, even IL
opposed by so popular a person as Mr..
Moore.
Assemblyman Henry +. Holloway Will
stand for reelection TO the Assembly,
and If successful will make a contest for
the speakership. The Roosevelt, or Pro-
gressive, wing of the Republican party in
Montclair will no doubt also nave candi-
dates in the field.
Friends of Mayor Ernest c. Hinck are
making efforts to have him reconsider
his expressed intention of not being a
candidate for reelection, but so far he
has given no intention of changing his
mind.
The Mayor claims tina he is handis
capped by the present town charter,
which gives him no veto power over the
acts of the council, and that he is Mayor
In name only.

CONVEN-
 TON CLOSES TODAY

Little Rock, Ark, June H. The eighth annual convention of the Arkansas Association of Lumber Dealers will come to a close today with the cleo tion of officers, which will be followed by a monster Hoo Hoo concate- nation.
 It is certain that H. F. Rieff of Little Rock will succeed l.. R. Putnam of Fayetteville as the president of the association, as Mr. Putnam who has served al most since the organization of the body, declines to accept an- other term.
 This convention has been the largest ever attended by the lum- bermen, there being over 100 in attendance from over tie state. A. F. Parkinson, of Wagoner, Okla, the president of the South western Lumbermen's Associa- tion, and H. A Gorsuch, the sec retary of the organization, from Kansas City. are in attendance. Gorsuch was one of the secretar- ies indicted as a member of a combination for the restraint of trade. The lumbermen have gone on record as condemning the action of the government in this respect, declaring their or ganization is no trust, and pledg- ing their support to the indicted secretaries. J. F. Judd of St. Louis, Supreme Senior Hoo Hoo, and James H. Baird of Nashville, Supreme Scrivenoter, are also here to attend the con catenation this afternoon. The principle theme of the lum ber- men in their sessions so far is the urging of the embers to be more liberal in the use of printers ink, and the use of papers to show the people they are not members of a trust.
