Has Bill for Legislature.

Trenton. Jan. 12s-State Prison
Keeper George @. Osborne, who dur
ing tho forty eaT that he has been
connected with charitable and penal
institutions, has seen several inno-
cent men confined behind the bars.
has prepared a bin for Introduction
into the legislature to afford redress
for such persons. 1t is entitled: "A
bill providing for the redress Of per-
sons convicted of a felony and COM
m.tted to the State Prison, who
shall subsequently have their limo
eence Justly established" The
provides that the innocent
prisoners SO confined shall be paid
400 per day to be paid by the

victed. 1t further provides that the
prisoner shall be paid $1,000 Ey the

A Popular Uprising.

Woodrow Wilson's nomination
was II vivid illustration of one. of
the doctrines which he has long
preached. THIS is the doctrine
that the American people are cap.
able of taking charge of their
own affairs. Neither in politics
nor Ia general business do they
need little ciques of sclt.satistled
men, wise In their own conceii,
TO tell them what they must do.
All the people know more than
any one man or set OF men. Their
mature verdict is s0undcr, SO II
certainly was in the Democratic
convention. Gov. Wilson had
consistently invited the ran k aud
file TO make their wishes known.
And that is what they did at Bait
imore with splendid effect. 1t
was, IN sober fact, popular up
rising that nominated Wilson. His
nomination falls happily, 1t comes
TO him with his party united and
10 received with the most crafty,
ing tokens Of good will, even
from those who have been politi.
.Dally hostile to him. That it means

Comment on Wilson.
Most Promising Leader.

BY the nomlnatlon OF GoN'
Weedrow Wilson the Democratic
paFT has placed al the head of its
ticket its most promising leader
and its strongest candidate.
Gov. Wilson represents inteIll-
gen, progressive!sm within his
party, progressiyelsm which
found successful expression at
Baltimore, though it failed st
Chicago. He is man of high
personal character, of distinguish
ed intellectual attainments, aud
brief but brilliant political record.
He is, moreover, in full sympathy
with the nation. wide movement TO
overthrow the alliance between
professional politics and organiz-
ed money, which is the most im'
pOrtant factor in American public
life today. Fought bitterly by
plutocrats, reactionaries and
bosses, aud made. more recently,
the victim of campaign of mis-
representation spd journalistic
demagogy, he has grown steadily
in public favor and confidence.
The Democratic party is to be
congratulated upon the choice of
Gov. Wilson. Italso owes a debt
of thanks to Mr.. Bryan, whose
successful fight in the convention
against reactionary plutocracy
will 60 down to posterity as one
of the most dramatic exhibitions
