JESS ASKS WILSON TO
EXPLAIN TARIFF VIEWS

NEW YORK, Oct. BIN a speech
at Williamstown Frank Jess, Pro-
gressive candidate for agrees from
the first district, replied to Governor
Wilson'S speech at Newark Tuesday
night when he said the programs OF
the Republican and Progressive par
ties were programs of postpone
ment.''
Mr.. Jess said: at will strike n
great many people that Mr.. Wilson'S
program is n program of evasion.
Isn't it about time that he tool n
definite stand on some Of the big
questions that confront the people in
this campaign. Take The tariff for
example. In his Newark speech he
declared, i have not heard a single
thoughtful Democrat declare for free
trade
Now the Baltimore convention
presumably vas composed of
thoughtful Democrats That con-
yention declared that any tariff in
excess Of the revenue needs of the
government was unconstitutional. If
that does not mean n declaration in
favor of free trade, what does it
mean?"

SUFFRAGE AN OPPORTUNITY
BY CAROLINE ". ALEXANDER.


Suffrage like other great issues may
be considered from many standpoints
as a right, as an education, an an
occupation, as a solution and as an
opportunity. 1t is this latter aspect
which seems to be taking tha great
est hold at the present moment. Such
women es Miss adams have en-
deaYored for years to better the con-
ditions of those to whom they are
devoting their lives and suffrage has
become, for such workers, an addi-
ton to the weapons which must be
used in the unequal struggle between
the rich and the poor, the ignorlns
and the educated, the weak and the
strong, for the weak always need
legislation for their protection ans
the ballot alone can influence and
direct Legislation. Let us therefore
claim the ballot as the Simplest and
most effective means of enlarging the
efficiency of our work for all those
we want to help.

TO SAVE THE BABIES OF NEwARK's POOR,

TT 4 is a notable addition that will be made 10 our citys public
philanthropies when the Newark Maternity Hospital opens
it's doors tomorrow. This is not a mere Iyingin refuge, but
On institution that by the light Of modern science will guard the
new lives against the peris that beset the infant children Of
poor and ignorant mothers. Women will be taught the proper
care of their offspring, and the result should be a great decrease
of infant mortality in Newarks tenements. Admirably supple
menting this benehcent idea is the school for midwives under
the same roof, the pioneer institution of it's kind in New Jersey.
IT is a grand work for the uphft of this city's poor that is thus
inaugurated by DIR. Husserl. who brings the benefit of his ex
perience in the same line in Vienna, and by the charitable women
who will act as governors of the hospital.

100000 ON WILSON

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Betting on

were 5 to 1 yesterday Wilson would
be elected. Some of the Roosevelt
men from uptown went down to
Wall Street with 100000 to bet against
800, 900, but they did not succeed in
placing the money. The best they

votes in Kings county than Taft

ONE RULE AND MOSQUITO ExTERMhNAT1o

O0U INTERFERENCE with the right of home rule Is the way
the Trenton Times describes the legislative act which
provides that counties shall make small appropriations
for MOSQUITO determination. Home rule that selbshly main
iaips a great public nuisance for a county and its %neghbors,
,piuring health, destroying home comfort and depreciating prop
perty values is of a barbarous and abominable kind that a civil
lied State should not endure. a single community has no civic
or moral right to maintain a damaging nuisance even if its effects
are confined to that community. 1t is selfish property interest
that opposes the expense of a remedy. But has the individual
no rights? Must his health and comfort and welfare be forever
subordinate to property interests which are too often so parsi-
monions that they oppose that which would greatly benefit
them? There is no question of home rule in the law for mos
unto determination. The mosquito is not local anywhere and
the pest that costs the State many millions of property loss,
besides vast discomfort and sickness, cannot be gotten rid of
except by means of appropriations. The parsimonious county
should be compelled to vote the appropriation.

portion of the time for which il
was actually within the limits OF
this State. An elaborate investiga-
ton was made of the W variable
spoints in the formula for measuring
franchise value, and the board finally
fixed 51s per cent. for the annuity.
and an ALLEGATION of earnings for
terminals, and after these elements
were fixed the assessments were
worked out. Every railroad assess
ment as finally made by this board
has been done after elaborate inves-
LEGATION, after discussion with both
counsel, and Mr.. Hansel. and with
the full approval and advice of Mr..
Hansefand the counsel of the boark.
The net result of all of these
hearings and Investigations and de-
cisions is that there is an increase
In the value of 1911 assessment over
that of 1910 of 1913. 600, 600. which will
net the State over $500, 900 additional
taxes annually, and the assessment
that we have made we believe will
stand tho test of the courts.
There is no ground for anv criti-
cism of the board, nor is there any
ground for criticism of Governor
Wilson. The governor has aided the

They enter ST. Louis in sixth place. and
are threatening to crowd the Yankees
