SMITHS KEEN DISCRIMINATION.

SMITH hEEN lioS'
We certainly admire the fine dis
elimination shown by James Smith.
Jr., in his selection of newspapers
for placing his advertisement ask
ing Democrats to vote for him as
their choice for United States sena-
tor. The EVENING NEWS feels
particularly honored in being one
of the newspapers of the state sin
gled out as being too ~antagonist1c
to the former senator to receive his
patronage. While we have been do
ing what we could to overthrow the
bossism of "Jim" Smith and to dis
credit the machine which he con
trolls, just as we have been opposed
to that kind of politics in all parties,
yet we had no idea that our hum
BILE efforts had made such a deep
impression on Smith and his lieu
| tenants as to win for us such a dis
tinction.
Smith and his friends much have
realized that in seeking publicity
the columns of the EVENING NEWS
would have been a great aid to him,
as we have the largest paid circu-
lation of any newspaper published
in Middlesex county, and an
important section of Monmouth
county. But evidently our antagon-
ism to Smith and the kind of poll
tics he stands for has had such an
effect on the Smith forces that when
the were selected for
running the Smith advertisement
the EVENING NEWS was left off
the list while papers of comparative
ly insignificant circulation were in
Guided.
We were not aware that our edi-
torial policy welded such an influ-
ence. We certainly feel very CRATE
full for the compliment and will
take on renewed courage that we
may be able to win the further dis
pleasure of James Smith, Jr., and
his cohorts by urging with still more
| vehemence his utter defeat at the
| primaries tomorrow, that Smith and
all others like him may know that
the people are through with his
style of politics forever, and that.
as a leader in his party, he is nc
more.
A new hope is rising for the Dem
ocracy under the leadership OF
| Woodrow Wilson and the men who
| stand with him for progressive
principles. In the latter we include
| William Hughes who is a candidate
! for the endorsement of the people

Cheating the Victors.

(NeWf \ Ork PFeSS.l
What prompts Europe to frown upon
the aspirations of the Balkan States
is the cynical selfishness of one group
of the Powers and the desire Of another
group to put off the day of reckoning.
The Triple Alliance is exerting itseh
to retain the Turk in Europe because
Austria and Italy are afflicted with
coyetousness for the Adriatic lIttoral
and Albania. The Triple Entente IS
willing to permit the partial re-estaD-
lish.nent of the old tyranny in order to
deal with the larger problem at a time
more favorable to its own purposes.
Actuated by one motive or another,
then, Christendom is in a mood to I'M
do the splendid work which the Allies
have accomplished in the interests OF
humanity. The decorated Excellencies
who control the destinies of nations are
preparing TO perpetuate, in at least a
part OF the territory now liberated by
the arms OF the Allies, the old regime
of Turkish cruelty and Turkish inca
pacity that brought about the present
crisis.
Will the collective conscience of the
world permit the carrying out of such
a compact of plunderers and diet
tantes? If it does. Europe may pay for
the cupidity or the stupid pliancy OF
its statesmen with the horrors of a
war Which will Guido the present car

The Milkman's Side of 1t.

Here is the milllman's side of it. as
related by the Bath Times. 1t is only
fair that it should be presented and
considered:
This morning milkman said;
"Do people, when arguing with their
milkman about milk coming up to
cents quart stop to consider what
grain costs, and how high price has
to be paid for cows. Cows that used
to bring $35 and $40, bring $40 and
SIS now. Are not the milkmen al
ie=sesa. .i the privilege Of making
ing as well as the merchants. *
they raise their prices we all have
TO pay whatever they ask, or go with
out. A milkman that has a large
herd of cows has to hire help. He
has his bills to pay as well as the
other fellow. There are a certain
few that are expected to find fault
about paying eight cents for milk.
Let that same person spend a few
weeks on a milk farm and he will
kick the other way
