WILSON'S TOUR.

Governor Wilson does well to get
out among the people in his cam
paign for the presidency. He has
said he preferred to remain at home
and make only a few set speeches
on special occasions in different
parts of the country. This program
would be all right If he had only
President Taft to deal with, but the
race this year is between Roosevelt
and Wilson, with Taft hardly in the
running. Thus far Roosevelt is hav-
ing everything his own way.
When 1t comes to speechmaking
Wilson can outclass any of them.
He may not cater to the popularity
of the crowd as Roosevelt, but Will
son presents good, sound argument
that sets men to thinking, and the
more the voters ponder over his
words the more convinced they be-
come that Wilson is the man for the
White House. The governor is not
as well known among the masses as
he might be and with his chief rival
on the stump, swinging around the
circle" he cannot afford to stand
too much on his dignity. The itin-
erary just announced for Wilson's
tour through the middle west Is a
good one. Probably when he fin
ishes this one he will decide to take
more of them.

COVETOUSNESS.

w IlO EJoos
Here's a little preachment by a
socialist that is worth reading: If
1t were proposed to invent some So
cial system in which covetousness
would be deliberately fostered and
intensified in human nature, what
system could be devised which would
excel our own for this purpose?
Competitive commerce exalts selfish
ness to the dignity of a moral prin-
ciple. 1t pits men against one an
other in a gladiatorial game In which
there is no mercy and in which nine
ty per cent of the combatants finally
streW the arena. 1t makes 1shmaels
of our best men and teaches them
that their hand must be against ev-
cry man, since every mans hand Is
against them. It makes men who
are the gentlest and kindliest friends
and neighbors, relentless taskmas-
ters in their shops and stores, who
will drain the strength of their men
and pay their female employees
wages on which no girl can live with
out supplementing them in some
way. 1t spreads things before us
and beseeches and ~persuades us to
buy what we do not want. The show
windows and bargain counters are
institutions for the promotion of COW
etousness among ome Men offer
us goods on credit and dangle the
smallness of the first installment be-
fore our eyes as an incentive to go
into debt heedlessly. They try to
break down the foresight and self
restraint which are the slow products
of moral education, and reduce us to
the moral habits of savages who
gorge today and fast tomorrow. Klep
tomania multiplies. 1t is the newt
able product Of a social life in which
covetousness in stimulated by1all the
ingenuity Of highly paid specialties.
The large stores have to take the
most elaborate precautions against
fraud by their employees and pilfer-
ing by their respectable customers.
The finest hotels are plundered by
their wealthy patrons of anything
from silver spoons down to marked
towels. After the annual Ladies'
Day at a prominent club in Chicago
owe two hundred spoons and two
hundred ~thirty-seven sprigs of artiti-
cial decorations, besides miniature
vases and bric-a-brac, were missing,
and that is always the case after
Ladies' Day, and never at other
times. At a reform school for boys
two lads were pointed out to me as
the sons Of two men Of great wealth.
They had been placed there by their
parents to cure them of their invet-
crate habit of stealing. Their faith
ers were in the United States Senate.
Our business life borders SO closely
on dishonesty that men are hardly
aware when they cross the line. 1t
is a penal offense for a government
officer to profit by a contract which
he awards or mediates: in business
life that is an everyday occurrence.
No wonder that our officials are cor
rupt when their CORRUPTION ia the
respectability Of business life"

NIGHT SCHOOLS ASSURED.

1t is evident that night schools
are at last to be a reality In Perth
Amboy. This is something that has
been needed here for a long time.
Our population is such that an OPP
p~ortupity for boys and girls to con-
tinue their studies after working
hours Is absolutely imperative. 1t
Is only fair to the authorities to a
that this fact has long been &C
knowledged but 1t was not until this
year that a way was found to bring
1t about. The school board Is to be
congratulated that it has been able
to establish the night schools this
year and at the same time keep the
day schools up to their usual stand
ard. It was certainly an excellent
thing for Perth Amboy when the
Board of Education was taken out OF
politics and the school system
placed In the hands of men of such
ability and high standing In the
community.

Republicaa voters would Do well
to give serious consideration to the
f1ve men named as candidates for
excise commissioner by the Civic
Union, AS the representatives OF
this organization are running on the
Republican ticket they do not inter
est the Democratic voters as yet, but
there is no doubt that If the Repub-
licans see fit to nominate these five
men they will receive q great many
Democratic and independent votes at
the election In November.
That the people OF Perth Amboy
are thoroughly Disguised with ex-
else conditions as they exist In this
city is certain. That they will well
come any opportunity to improve
matters is equally certain.
The Civic Union, 80 far as the
public has become acquainted with
it, is organized along the right
lines. 1t does not aim to wipe out
the liquor business In Perth Amboy.
1t is not a temperance organization.
1t does insist, however, that the
liquor business shall be conducted
on a higher plane So that those who
continue in the business will be able
to sell pure liquors, which the pur-
chasers are entitled to, and the sa-
~loonkeepers will be able to obey the
laws without fear of lawless COM
petition.
The men who are standing for ex-
else commissioners on this platform
are worthy of the utmost confidence
and respect. They are not interest
ed In politics in any form, only de-
string to do their part as citizens to
improve the city. If they had been
announced without any party desig-
nation the average voter could not
tell to which party any one be-
longed. They are as neal non-par-
tisan, perhaps, as 1t is able to get a
set of men, although to comply with
the primary law they have de-
clared themselves Republicans. Out

"JIM" SMITHS FORGETFULNESs.

.JIM" SMITHS FORGETFULNESS.
1t is amusing to md ex-senator
Smith, Of New Jersey. in the state
ment in which he announces his
candidacy for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Senator. appealing to the
tariff views of Grover Cleveland as
those by which he wishes to stand
or fall. In view of Mr.. Smiths rec
ord this might be called the height
Of audacity. but here are his exact
words;
Fortunately, the Democratic par
ty, unlike It's chief rival, has In its
| history a record Of tariff sincerity
that needs only to be quoted In or
der to convince the people that ours
is the party that will deal with
tariff questions wisely and fear
lessly.
Grover Cleveland was not a man
afraid Of the tariff or afraid Of any
thing else. In an admirable speech
made before his election In 1892 he
expressed sentiments that many
Democrats, including myself. indorse
to this day, and ! believe that many
considering themselves ultra-pro-
gressives might make additional
progress by assimilating C~leveland's
doctrine.
What Mr.. Smith says about the
soundness and the sincerity Of
President CIeveIand's tariff views is
true enough, but why Is he SO silent
about his own tariff record? Does
he that the American peo-
Pile, and especially the Democratic
half Of them, have forgotten his be-
trayal of Mr.. Cleveland when the
latter honestly attempted to put in
effect the tariff platform upon
which he was elected In 1927 Does
the ex-senator suppose that the sin
cere tariff reformers of this country
have forgotten how he, the late Sen
ator Arthur P. German, Of Mary
land, and one or two Democratic
southern senators conspired with the
Republican minority In the Senate
and SO e~masculated the Wilson bill,
depriving 1t of many of It's most i'm
portant features Of tariff reform.
that President Cleveland refused to
sign 1t, and let 1t become a law by
default? In his long and strenuous
career as a political boss Mr.. Smith
may have forgotten these matters,
but we trust that the Democratic
voters Of New Jersey have not. For
their benefit his record as a traitor
to his party should be clearly set
forth and added to his statement
