Speaking of Jury reform the Newark
Neps has this to say of Governor Fielder:
I'VE do not believe that the Governor can
be intimidated In this manner. If he can
1t IL well to know it in advance, for GER
tainly nothing could so emphatically
demonstrate his unfitness for the Office to
which he aspires as evidence that he can
be swayed by fear of the men who are
fighting jury reform. If Governor Field
or wants to put himself out of the run
ming he could not adopt more effectual
way Of doing it." People around this
county have gained somewhat different
idea of Governor Fielder His action In
at least one instance has shown that while
he may not be intimidated, he may easily
be swayed at the dictation of one or two
men, After making a nomination and
assuring the Senator from this county that
the appointment belonged to him the
Governor recalled the name, not because
there were any objections officially or per-
sonally to the man he had nominated, but
for partisan reasons entirely and because
the request for this action had been made by
Thomas 81. Birch and Richard p Hughes,
chairman of the Democratic county COM
mittee. This is not hearsay. A letter
sent by Fielder, over his own signature,
Ia the proof for the assertion. While he
may mot be intimidated In this manner, .
and cannot be swayed by fear of the
men who are fighting jury reform" he
certainly will have to stiffen his backbone
to greater degree than when he allowed
himself to be swayed by two men who
are undoubtedly laughing up their sleeves
at the hole in which they placed him In
this county.

FROM present appearances the muddle
over the Freebooter situation does not
look any more like being cleared than it
did two or three weeks ago. A bill was
passed by the Legislature but when it
reached the hands of the Governor that
official found flaw In it and on referring
It to the Attorney General 1t was discover

grounds, although there might not be any
trouble II he we're to sign the bill, The
Governor. however, thought it better to
let the measure die and efforts will be
made to have the matter again considered
at the extra session. The whole trouble
seems to be in the fact that provision
was made In the new law to allow Attain
tic and Camden counties to escape its re-
quirements. Why should they be favor
edf The people In other parts of the state
have spoken In strong terms In favor of a

county judges to appoint members of the
Board OF Freeholders who would serve
until the end of this year. That would
solve the entire problem of which is the

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE
THE SPLENDID COMEDY
THE TALKER"

One of the many features of ''The
Talker," which is to be given for the
week beginning Monday, the 18th inst.
is that the incidents ring with such genu-
mess that they grip and move the beholder.
Astounding with humor, pathos. comedy
and the like, for which the writer Marion
Fairfax has become famous among theatre
patrons. The scene of the play is located
in Long Island where fortunes have been
made and lost in land speculations. A
newly married couple, seeking to benefit
their condition, start to buy a home on
the installment plan, naturally being
forced to many deprivations and hard
ships, the hero of the household being a
salar1ed man of moderate income. Be
coming irksome to his wife and Influenced
by lady friend who is always preaching
of the hardships of her sex, the wife finds
relief IN the acquaintance of man-about-
town and she INDUCES in pathetic friend
ship, Joy-r1de is interrupted by the hus-
band, but his sister having fallen under
the influence of the wife elopes with the
automobilist, afterward discovering him
to be married with considerable family
almost destitute. The wife struck with
the follies of her action, becomes miser-
able until finally the return of the sister.

''IeNoRANoE Of the law is no excuse for
the violator" Is what is told offenders
when they appear at the bar for sentence,
yet there is no effort on the part of the
state of New Jersey to inform persons of
the laws which govern them. Numbers
Of laws were passed by the last Legislature
but there are hardly any of the common
people, and many of the members of the
houses which helped to enact the laws
who know of the purport of the statutes
they put on the books. The budget for
expenses has been increased several hun
bred thousands of dollars over that of last
year, but the majority of the money is to
be used In ways that will be for other pur-
poses than informing people what laws
they must obey. There was one bill in
troduced-whether 1t became law is not
known-which provided that each mem
Der of the Legislature be furnished with
copy of the revised statutes. When 1t is
known that the cost of these books is $12
of the Legislature the cost entaied on this
piece of law making can easily be COM
puted. 1t is said a bill was enacted that
makes 1t unlawful for dealer to sell air
rifles or for any one to use them. This
affects innocent children who have such
toys and who. If the law was approved,
are In danger of being arrested, but their
guardians are in ignorance OF the law.
This Is only slight instance. Under the
present system the state does nothing
toward distributing the laws except by
sending to certain officials a number of
copies which not one in a thousand sees. |
It is reported that the appropriation bill
Of the last session contains provision for
payment of more Assembly pages and at
PENDANTS than were sanctioned, but this of
course was all right. That made political
pull. To inform the people of the laws
adopted was altogether different matter.
Let the people look out for themselves
and II they violate statute of which they
had no knowledge that is their misfortune
for which they must suffer.

The Prudential First.
It's a trouble to many,
But it need not be.

Each year for the past fifteen years The
Prudential has led all life insurance COM
panies in New jersey In new business.
In 1912 the amount of paid-for lie in
surance issued and revived In New Jersey
by The Prudential exceeded $41, 900, 900
over 200 600 policies.
fne claims paid In New Jersey in 1912
were over 50. 5000, 900.
This leadership of The Prudential in its
home state is an indication of the conf
dence and trust which the people of New
Jersey put in The Prudential That con-
fdence is further shown from the impress
sive statement that the Prudential now has
in force in New Jersey over /, $50, 900 paid
for policies, equal to over one-half the
population of the state, and the paid-for
insurance in force is nearly $50 million
dollars. These are interesting figures for
the public to contemplate.

GENERAL regret comes from all parts of
the county that the idea of small Board
Of Freeholders, so heartily endorsed by
the people at the polls. has been practi-

be the very ones to start a movement TO
thrust themselves upon the public. Not
only this, but important work is now held
up until there is some decisive action upon
Burlington county's peculiar position.

and work that should, for the public
safety, be at once begun. Individual

ANOTHER grade crossing, one young life
snuffed out, and another hanging by a
thread. This accident occurred at Pal
myra, at a point where the view of the
railroad crossing was not good. A freight
train, rushing through at rapid rate of
speed, struck wagon in which were two
boys about 16 years of age, and one of
them was instantly killed, the other is ly-
ing In hospital fighting for his life. OF
course there will be the usual plea on the
part Of the railroad company of "contri-
butory negligence" but the fact will re-
main that the deadly grade crossing was
responsible. That the railroad company
has acknowledged the dangerous crossing
is shown by the fact that there are safety
gates at the place but the gateman is not
required TO go on duty until after the hour
at which the accident occurred. Prior to
that time the people are evidently not ex-
the past six years we have had occasion to
visit Palmyra and have had ample oppor-
tunities to witness the passage of trains
through that town. There are several
which do not stop at the station and the
rate which they maintain along track
which is almost on level with the road
way through long stretch of built up
street is enough to make one shudder.
One of the most noticeable cases is that Of
the Nellie Bly,, the Atlantic City express
whose sole object seems to be to make
time between New York and the former
place. and it has stretch of track at Pal
myra that does not hinder this part of the
programme. To give an instance of the
speed of the freight train 1t may be stated
it ran, by actual measurement, 2977 feet
before it was stopped; 2640 feet is half
mile. A coronerss' jury has been en-
paneled to look into the facts of this case.
1t would be well for them to ascertain the
railroad rules applying to the speed of
freight trains.
