WHILE the Courts are bordering over
the question whether the Pierce Grade
Crossing bill is law or not, the railroad
companies continue to crush and slaughter
people unfamiliar with the vagaries Of
time tables and special trains. The wreck
OF motor car on Malaga pike on Wednes-
day by Pennsylvania express on the
electric road, has resulted in two deaths.
mother and daughter, and the serious in
jury of two others, one the father of for
mer Governor Stokes, who was guiding
the motor. From all accounts the passing
OF two trains at the crossing at nearly the
same moment was the cause of the wreck,
for the passing of one led Mr.. Stokes to
believe the track was clear, and he was
going slowly over the rails when the ex-
press dashed into his car. This shows the
Malaga crossing to be death trap that
should be constantly guarded, and is
cumulative testimony in favor Of the
regulations provided for In the Pierce
Grade Crossing bill. The technicality
which Governor Wilson has raised against
the legality of the measure is a menace to
life and limb that should promptly be re-
moved by the Court The Governors de-
sire to protect the railway corporations
from the penalties provided In the bill
should not stand in the way of the protec-
ton of the lives of the people. = Camden
Courier.

TUESDAY, JULY Q, 1912
DURING June there were eight killiues

DuRrNe June there were eight killings
ct railroad crossings in New Jersey and
eleven by automobiles, while trolley cars
killed fiye. The trolley cars are more
numerous than steam railroad cars and for
them every street and roadway Is a grade
crossing, and yet their record of killings
Is less than that of the railroads. The
mortality due to automobiles is largely Of
the occupants Of these vehicles and Ii
made possible by the imperfections Of the
laws and the negligence Of law officers in
enforcing laws and regulations. AS fol
the embarrassing killings they will go on
until the awakened conscience of the State
shall compel governors and legislatures tc
take the view that human life is of more
account than railroad company dividends

AFTER THE most bitter fight In Its history
the Democratic party closed its convention
in Baltimore In just one week after the
doors were opened. The sessions were
characterized with fractional strife and
actions which far eclipsed anything that
has been seen in political circles for long
time. The result was the nomination of
Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jer-
sey, for President, and Governor Thomas
Marshall, of Indiana, for Vice President.
The nomination of Governor Wilson was
made unanimous in voice, but there are
numerous heartaches that will not be
healed for some time. although everything
appears to be right on the surface.
Champ Clark, who was Wilson's chief
opponent, has sent congratulations to the
successful man and has assured him of his
hearty support. William Jennings Bryan
was prominent figure at the convention
and, In fiery manner, attacked everybody
and every move that did not coincide
with his ideas. He made charges against
Clark and urged warfare against that
gentleman to such an extent as to make
the nomination of the latter an impossi-
bility. Consequently Clark does not feel
very good towards Bryan and his friends,
and 1t will take much explanation on the
part of Wilson to show that he is not tied
up with Bryan. The nomination of
Governor Wilson is being spoken of as the
strongest the Democratic party could have
made, but time will prove whether this is
correct assertion. There are many OBJ
stacles In his path that he will be compelled
to remove before reaching the goal of his
ambitions, the point he has been aiming
at even before he was elected Governor of
New Jersey. which Office he has persistent
ly used to further his nomination for the
higher office That he is a strong candi-
date, man Of high personal character,
cannot be doubted, but whether he is a
safe man to be at the head of this govern
ment is another question. One of his fire.
quent declarations Is that he has always
been Democrat both by inheritance and
conviction, yet he expects that numerous
Republicans will give him their hearty
support. They did that in the Guber-
material election, and by reason of his
gaining that Office he is now at the head
of the National ticket. 1t is said by his
advocates that he ia not free trader. yet
he taught the theory of free trade in his
lectures at Princeton. he has embodied his
views in print and denounced protection
from the stump Being Democrat ''by
inheritance and conviction" he must sup
port his party platform and that declares +,
for q tariff for revenue only. which Is
practically free trade. There is another |
point in his being Democrat evidenced
by the report that hewill not resign his office
as Governor until elected President and
close to induction into office. His advisers !!
have urged this action upon him in order
that the Democrats of the state may secure |
all of the offices that will be appointed by
the Governor while he is In power. And
Republicans will be asked to aid him In
getting the highest Office in the gift OF the
people. J

ANOTHER instance of the way In which
business is conducted by the Board Of
Freeholders was the adoption of resolu-
ton taking from the Mirror the printing
OF the monthly report of the county col
lector and giving 1t to the Burlington
Enterpvzse. The Mirror was put on the
Hist In January with the understanding
that the contract held for year-an un-
derstanding that has prevailed ever since
the reports were voted upon at the organ
ization meeting But the argument was
used that the Mirror this year was getting
the work out of Its turn. that it was the
turn Of the Enterprise to have it. That
should have been looked into at the time
of award. But 1t Is question whether
such 10 the case. The Enterprise had the
report In 1910, THE NEws had it In 1911
and II, by Its turn" 1t is meant that q
triangular succession Is to be maintained,
then It certainly looks as If the Mirror
was in line. The resolution was not in
order, however, as 1t was necessary to
rsscind the one already In operation be-
fore another could be adopted, notwith-
standing the opinion of the youthful
parliamentarian who gave the director the
opinion that 1t was all right. THE News
is not fighting the battles of the Mirror.
that paper viii take care Of itself, but our
move ia for the protection of the fraternity
In general. The action In question was
not warranted In any way. either in justice
or through professional courtesy. The
printing Of the collectors report was
awarded In good faith, with perfect un.
derstanding on all sides and there should
not be any underhand methods now to
upset the arrangement.

CHAPTER XIX.
Fortune Decides,

George and Fortune were seated ut
breakfast. 1t was early morning. At
ten they were to depart for Jaffa, to
take the tubby French packet there to
Alexandria. They could just about
make it, and any delay meant q week
or ten days longer upon this ragged
and inhospitable coast.

lowered her eyes, but kept them
bravely directed into his. In the midst
Of one Of his panegyrics he caught
sight of his watch which he had
placed at the side Of his plate.
"By Jove! quarter to nine. I've
got an errand or two to do, and
there's no need Of your running your
teet of on my account. I'll be back
quarter after.'' He dug into hie
pocket and counted out fifty pounds
In paper and gold. "You keep this

She pushed 1t aside, half rising
from her chair.
Fortune, listen. Hereafter am

George felt himself drawn deeper
and deeper into those tragic waters
from which, as in death, there is no
return. She was so lonely. so sad
and forlorn, that there was as much
brother as lover in his sympathy.
How patient she had been during all
those inconceivable hardships! How
brave and steady; and never a muir
muir! The single glass of wine had
brought the color back to her cheek
and the sparkle into her eye; yet he
was sure that behind this apparent
liveliness lay the pitiful desperation
Of the helpless. He had not spoken
again about old Mortimer. He would
wait till after he had sent a lona
cable. Then he would speak and
show her the answer, Of which he
had not particle Of doubt. As mat.
tiers now stood, he could not tell her
that he loved her; his quixotic sense
Of chivalry was too strong to permit
this step, urge as his heart might
upon 1t. She might misinterpret his
love as born of. pity, and that would
be the end of everything. He was con.
