Adams at II o'clock and made his first
speech of the day to a crowd in the

audience was composed of farmers.

to hear him. Colonel Roosevelt con-

Company. and Senator Penrose.

outcome in Vermont" he said. "A
peculiar situation is always attached
to the result of the Vermont election.

Progressive movement"
Colonel Roosevelt declared that the
Progressive party vas a "brand-new
party" and not allied with the Re-
~publicans. AS he was speaking a man
in the crowd called out: "Is this the
Progressive Republican party?"
Colonel Roosevelt whirled about

WILSON'S VIEWS CHANGED

NEW YORK, Aug. Ex-Governor
Wilson, of New Jersey, Democratic
candidate for President, is not now in
favor of accepting campaign contri-
buttons from corporations. 1t is
against the laws However, President
Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton Uni
versity, did not see anything wrong
in having corporations contribute to
campaign funds. That was in 1907
before he was an aspirant for politi-
cal honors.
In an interview in the New York
Times. printed on November "a of
that year, President Wilson, discuss
Ing the trust problem and the nation
al campaign of the following year,
was quoted as saying:
"There is really no offense to the
public in the fact that corporations
contribute campaign funds to a can
didate's election, If he would only
fulfil his promises, give the people
what they want. whether 1t is good
for them or not"

EXPLOITING THE STATES FISHERIES.

INTERPRETATIONS by menhaden steamers on the South Jer-
LIZ sew coast inside the three mile limit are reported and
revive interest in the question of the conservation of the
states great fishing interests which have been ruthlessly ex-
plotted for years by menhaden steamers and pound-net owners,
who frequently play into each others hands against the State
and it's people. The menhaden steamer scoops up menhaden and
all other fish by schools, and the catch is converted into oil and
fertilizers. The State law provides that the steamers shall not
drag their nets within three miles of the shore, but in the past
This regulation was disregarded and not much respect is paid
TO it now. If the poundnets are full of fish and the cold storage
houses are we'll stocked the fish in the nets is taken by the
1nenhaden men. How the pound-nets rob the coast of fish,
destroying millions of young fish in the close meshes of the net,
is a story often told. And while New Jerseys valuable fisheries
are thus exploited and abused fish prices in our markets are
controlled by a New York fish trust which controls the catch on
the New Jersey coast, and consumers pay double prices. The
Legislature has ample power 10 protect the State from this
abuse of it's natural wealth, but every Legislature has been
privy to it. An awakening of public sentiment on the subject
would have it's effect at Trenton.

SPEAKER CLARK ON THE TARIFF.

PEAKER CLARK in his speech at Rockland, Me, said:
- Barring for the present Colonel Roosevelts scheme
of settlement the position of the two great parties may
be succincty stated in this way: The Democrats are in favor
ct a tariff for revenue only; the Republicans are in favor of a
tariff for protection. Upon this question the platforms are ex-
piicit." Speaker Clark candidly states the Issue as between the
Republican and Democratic parties on the tariff and he inter
prets his party platform correctly, for it pronounces the pro
tective principle unconstitutional. The Bull Moose platform
adheres to the protective principle while declaring for a return
of the tariff rates to moderate figures that will protect Ameri-
ran labor without giving shelter to trusts and without the sys-
lem of robbery of the present tariff which the Republicans would
maintain. The Progressives, therefore, occupy middle ground.
If the events of the last two years, with the dominance of the
trusts and the cruel exactions on the people, have changed the
popular sentiment .on the tariff and inclined voters to dispense
with the protective principle, the speeches by Speaker Clark and
other Democrats in advocating the Baltimore platform ought to
have a marked effect in Maine and in other old protection
States. Perhaps they will. ae

TTN OUNDED in 1856, the old Green Street German English
School, more recently known as the German American
Academy, is about to go out of existence. This honored
landmark of our city has faithfully fulfilled its mission. and
ceases now because its good work is practically ended or can
be as well done by other schools that do not need private sup.
port. Many of the best citizens of Newark received their tuition
IN the old school, and it was largely instrumental in the making
of good citizenship. There is always a feeling of regret when
a familiar landmark passes away, as there is in the case of the
old school so long identified with education in Newark.
