THE CONGRESS DISTRICT CONTESTS.

TT WELVE members of Congress will be voted for in New
III Jersey this year in the districts newly created and the
results of the district elections in November will depend
very largely upon the character of the presidential nomination,
for in most cases the "tail will go with the hide" OF the present
ten congressman only three, representing the First, Second and
Fourth districts, are Republicans. There will be a preliminary
great battle in the party primaries, with the result of a consider
able change of personnel in the State delegation. In the Re.
publican districts Gardner, of the Second, will surely be retired.
He has reached the end of his tether, and Browning will prob
pbly be displaced in the First. AS Ira Wells Wood, Of the
Fourth, is identified with the Taft candidacy, it is not likely
that he will get a denomination. In the Democratic districts
Hughes, of the Sixth, will retire to the judgeship which he is
now supposed to All, and the other Democrats will be candidates
for denomination in the changed districts. With the increase of
two districts two new sets of candidates will come before the
party primaries. Next to the President the aim of the great
parties in the election will be to elect the new House of Repre-
sentatives, and New Jerseys twelve congressman will be a larger
factor in that result than the ten voted for two years ago.

THE REAcIONARiEs FOR WILSON.

7 HE most virulent assailant of Roosevelt in the Republican
Ii campaign for the presidential nomination has been the
World. AS the Philadelphia North American says, it has
"played the game of the forces of reaction in the Republican
party" and played it beyond the limit. And all the time It has
been stupidity and blndly promoting the Roosevelt candidacy.
The World appealed to New Jersey Republicans against Roose-
Welt and held him up to them in the blacklist colors. AS the
North American again says, the World until the close of the
New Jersey primaries abandoned dignity and decency, rivaing
the violent malice of its editorial columns with the shameless
Misrepresentation in its news" And what did it all avail? The
fake primaries in New York gave a majority of the delegates
TO Taft. Ii there had been honest primaries he would have been
sgnany beaten, and right in Manhattan. In every community
reached by the World the anti-Taft sentiment grew and was
triumphant where it had any chance for adequate expression.
New Jersey was the last. And the States response to the World
was an overwhelming defeat for the candidate espoused by the
World. Not only impotent of influence on public sentiment, but
damaging to the candidate it advocates, the World joins with
other reactlonary newspapers in championing Woodrow Wilson
for the Democratic nomination, and its frothings are now for
Speaker Clark, whose great lead for the Baltimore convention
excites apprehension in Wall Street. The defeat of Taft i'm
m1nent, the reactonary organs join in a chorus for Wilson. But
for Speaker Clark there would be more peril to his candidacy in
their praises than in their revilings, and if Wilson can extract
any capital out Of Wall Street favor he will be more fortunate
than his Republican counterpart, Mr.. Taft.

Ida e. Egge describes the modern trend
OF twentieth century sediment. Miss
Egge has the distinction of being one of
the very few women of this city who
is a full-fiedged licensed druggist. and

Miss Egge had occasion one day to

the sum Of 81. Now. Miss Egge still
cherishes the "knightly days." as do we

THE GUILT OF CLARENCE BARROW.

" II HILE the evidence against Clarence barrow, the
IVY noted criminal lawyer in the Mcnamara trial at Los
Angeles, of wholesale bribery of jurors and witnesses
is shocking, it is only a revelation of the methods that Darrow
and not a few other practitioners have employed both in Grim,
inal and civil cases. 1t is extremely hard to fix the guilt of the
crime of bribery and if Darrow had not been watched by Burnss
detectives and trapped he would have secured his object in
securing the release of the infamous malefactors who murdered
more than a score of working people because their employer had
antagonized them. The crime of barrow, if he is convicted, is
as heinous as that of his murderer clients and the infamy of it Is
greater. 1t was committed for hire by an educated man repre-
senting an honorable profession and possessing wealth and social
position. 1t was a crime against law, society and humanity.

UNFINISHED OFFICIAL cRooKEDNEss.

eTa HE sensational exposure of councilmanic corruption in
Ii Atlantic City by professional detective methods is a re-
minder of the recent investigation of the school district
boards by the Frelinghuysen committee. 1t was only a cursory
inquiry the committee made, but it developed evidences of crook
edness and corruption in more than a score of districts, including
Atlantic City. The investigation led to some changes in the
school laws, but not a single school board knave has been pun
ished. 1t is thus that official crime is made to flourish. What
need has the crook in Office to have any fear of committing crime
when he knows that even II his acts are investigated and shown
up he will be immune from punishment and that the public will
soon forget.

THE OUTLOOK IN CUBA.

cTa HE affairs of Cuba do not improve. The government shows
a weakness in the face of an emergency that justifes the
gravest apprehensions. It has required a naval demon
stration by our government to arouse Cuba to something like
action to put down the uprising of the blacks and its measures
seem haifhearted. At any moment our forces may be compelled
70 move into Cuba to grapple with the disorder, and that may
mean a prolonged and probably a permanent occupation.
