To understand this. observe a particu-

In square building that measures

feet of floor space: the distance around
the building will be 100 feet or there
will be sides to the equivalent of 100

NFIV JERSEY'S VIRTUE.

1t appears that Mayor GaynOr was
misinformed in suggesting that Governor
Wilson Of New Jersey never recon-
mended a modification of the corporation
law that has made his state the favOrite
resort of octopuses. In his first message
DR.. Wilson did advise such changes in
"the law Of the state as will henceforth
"eHectually prevent the abuse Of the
privilege Of incorporation which has In
recent years brought so much discredit
"upon our state" But the Mayors ig-
norance of this utterance IS eXcusable,
seeing how really perfunctory 1t was,
since the Governor never recurred to the
subject and never sought to induce the
Legislature to carry out the recOmnen-
dalton. When he was really Interested
In securing legislative action he did not
content himself with a mere formal rec
ommendation, but repeated it on every
occasion and went 10 the people" for
their support If necessary. The policies
which he made his own thus became
familiar, and it is not surprising that
one which has not been heard Of since
the first message was overlooked.
Governor Wilson's practical abandon
ment of this reform is all the more re-
markable since it was one OF the sub
iects on which he was accustomed TO
dwell in his campaign speeches. Why
did he not renew his recommendation
In his second message? Why did he
never take it up with the Legislature and
the public IN the way he took up primary
reform, for example? Can it be that in
office he became impressed with the
financial advantage to New Jersey of
selling indulgences to corporations?
About one-half the states revenue comes
from the business of furnishing liberal
charters to trusts. But is New Jersey
only half moral? Has it the virtue Of
Oregon and Kansas only so far as that
virtue is consistent with revenue?

THE FLORIDA DELEGATES.

Later reports from Florida show that
the stories of bolt from the recent
Republican State Convention were made
out Of whole cloth. THE JackSonviilc
Times Union" was evidently duped into
publishing Il dispatch from Palatka as
serting that "before the state convention
got down to business it went TO pieces
and that more than half of the dele
gates walked out of the hall That dis
patch was contradlcted in every detail
by a complete account Of what the con
ventiOn really did, appearing in the
same column Of the same issue or me
Times Union But some JacEsonvllie
correspondents, possibly hoping TO get a
wrong impression successfully star'eu'
sent the flake" account out and Ignored
the authentic one.
From the best evidence Obtninaole IL
Is clear that there was no bolt from the
regular state convention. 4 few contest

bolt was engineered by persons known
IN state politics. This years perform

cognito.

mated the last Reichstag with an ample
ma iority, is not only now In the minor
ity. but was able, on the supremely I'M
portant vote for President, TO rally to Its
support against so pronounced a Social
Democrat as Mr.. Bebel only 46 votes
from all other factions, while In the same
division the Social-Democrats got 30 sucn
allies. Such results are suggestive or
what may happen later. If so many
Liberals and Radicals vote with the
Social.Democrats for the officers of the
Reichstag, it may he that they will con-
Time the habit when there are divisions
on important measures Of legislation. In
that case the Chancellor may adopt the
course which the Hamburger Mach
richten." with its Bismarclllan tradi-
tions. declares he should pursue namely,
dissolve the Reichstng and appeal TO the
country again. 1t may be that Bismarck
would have done that, or as the paper
cited suggests, would have changed the
suffrage laws so as to keep the Social
democrats out Of the Reichstag, as they
are kept out of the Prussian Diet. But
If IS not at all certain that such course
would be judicious now. A good deal OF
water has flowed down the Spree since
the Iron Chancellor's time.
New-York tribune., 1912-02-10
TIE FIRST REIOHST4G DIVISIONS.

The first votings of the German
Relchstag are significant as showing tho
strength of factional combinations. The
Social-Democrats put forward their
leader, Mr. Bebel. as candidate for the
Presidency of the Chamber on the
ground, which years ago was always re-
spected. that the presiding officer should
be chosen from the most numerous
party. In some recent years, however,
that principle has been ignored, as 1t was
yesterday. The Conservatives, however,
could not elect a member Of their party,
but had to support Clerical, who was
elected by only 1876 votes 10 Mr. Bebel's
175. AS there are only 10 Social-DemO-
Gratis in the House, 1t Is obvious that 50
Radicals and National Liberals, or mem
bers of other minor parties. voted for a
Social-Democrat for President. For the
place Of First Vice-President the Con-
servatives did put forward a man, but
be was beaten By Soclal-Democrat, the
latter getting 1SS votes to the formers
ia. In this case the Social Democrat
candidate was supported by 7S Radicals,
Liberals and others. The Liberals and
Radicals together number only Sc. where
fore II seems probable that most Of them
voted for the SOcial-Democrat Finally,
a National Liberal was elected Second
Vice President, presumably with the aid
of Social Democrat votes, given in re-
turn for the Liberal votes for Social
Democrat candidates in the other ballot
ings.
Thus the Conservative party. the back
bone Of the government support, was
unable TO elect even one of the three
and so far as the organization of the
Reichstag Is concerned is practically
grouped with the Poles and Guelphs and
other minor parties. 1t is the minor
member Of the "Blue-Black bloc" which
now deserves to be called "Black-Blue." !"
Moreover, that coalition, which domi-
