this place, was on Tuesday, placed under
$500 bail to await the action of the next

THERE seems to be all sorts of compli-
cations in political circles this year.
Former Senator Colby, who wants the
Progressive nomination for Governor,
says he cannot support the platform set
down by his opponent, Mr.. Osborne, who
is being groomed by George L. Record.
Mr.. Osborne is just as positive that the
views of Mr.. Colby can never get his
sanction. President Wilson has forced
former Mayor Wittpenn out of the Demo-
cratic contest for the nomination for
Governor, and while the latter smiles
when he sees Jim" Fielder, it is a ques-
ton whether Otto's kiss does not mean
death. Frank Katzenbach, who is in
the fight for the Democratic nomination
for Governor, has the backbone to stand
up and say that he will not be forced
out Of the contest, and with great frank
ness and fearlessness he openly denoun-
ces President Wilson for the part he is
taking in the fight. Looking at all
parts of the situation one wonders how
Colby or Osborne could support the
other in case of nomination. Where
would Katzenbach stand if he should be
defeated by Fielder, or what would be
Fielder's attitude in case Katzenbach
gets the nomination? Or, going further
what would the President do to a man
who has SO openly denounced him? The
Newark Star has made some comments
on the attitude of Mr.. Katzenbach, and
we give one of the extracts as follows:
In his address at Camden last week
Frank s. KafzeRbach put into earnest
words the thoughts of thousands of
Democratic voters in New jersey. Mr..
Katzenbach's subject was the direct pri-
mary. He reminded his hearers that
the direct primary was first advocated in
the Democratic platform ON which he
ran for Governor in 1907 and was again
in the Democratic platform in 1910. 1t
was made law in 1911. It's purpose is
to give equal opportunities to all and in
sure for the voters entire freedom of
choice. And what has happened since

Americas Hideous Villages.

The average. American has no eye for
harmonious effect, no appreciation of
beauty for it's own sake and in none of
the arts is this lack so evident as in
architecture, says H. l.. Mencken in the
September SMART SET.
No distinctively American style has
arisen, and the average American home
remains as ugly and as undistinguished
as Zulu kraal. In it's essence, it is
simply square box. And from that
archetype it proceeds upward, not
through degrees of beauty, but degrees
of hideousness. The more it is plastered
with ornament, the more vulgar and
forbidding it becomes. The more it is
adorned with color, the more that color
becomes madness, debauch, public
indecency. Take train ride through
any American state and you will be sick
ened by the chaotic ugliness of the fit
ting villages-houses sprawling and
shapelesS, green shutters upon lemon
yellow churches, a huge advertising sign
upon every flat wall, an intolerable effect
of carelessness, ignorance, Squalor, bad
taste and downright viciousness. But
make the same sort of journey through
France or Germany-say from Bremen
to Munich or from Paris to Lyons-or
through Austria or Italy or Switzerland,
and you will be charmed by the beauti-
full harmony visible on all sides, the sub
ordination of details to general effects,
the instructive feeling for color, the
sound grouping, the constant presence
of tradition and a STYLE The design
of the peasant houses changes twenty
times between the Westphalian plain
and the foothills of the Alps, but in
every change there is a subtle reflection
of the physical environments and an un-
mistakable expression of human aspira-
ton, worldly estate and character. /
don't know any ugly villages between
Bremen and Munich, nor even village
without its distinction. But l don't
know of village between Washington
and Chicago that is not frankly appal-
ling.

the law was enacted? Mr.. Katzenbach
hanks back to the direct primary last
year, when pressure was brought upon
two candidates for United States senator
to withdraw from their candidates., Mr..
Wilson using all his power and influence
to compel their withdrawal Again
this year former Mayor Wittpenn who
had organized campaign for his candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, was directed in letter from
President Wilson to withdraw as candi-
date, as he could not receive the Presi-
dents support. The mandate was obey
ed. Mr.. Katzenbach comments: Have
the Democratic voters been left free to
make their own selection?' To make a
choice, not personal, but as the leader of
the party, and to back that choice with
all the power and patronage of a national
and state administration, result in stiff
ling that equal opportunity supposed to
be offered to every candidate and that
freedom of choice supposed to be given
to every voter Is this not just COM
ment? Was it contemplated in passing
the law for direct primaries that coercion
should be brought by individuals in
Office in favor or against candidates, or
that any influential individual should
be permitted to deny the party voters
the right to vote in the primary for a
candidate of their choice? Was not the
plain intent of the law that the voter
should be absolutely free of choice, and
how can he be when by arbitrary inter
ference with candidates. he is denied
free choice, and must either vote for a
candidate whom he doesn't want or re-
frain from voting?"

BY A very small majority the propo-
sition to have a small board of free
holders was defeated on Tuesday, but
the majority was just as effective as if it
had been one hundred times larger than
it was. The large board is to come back
THE News, with many of its readers, is
disappointed, but all bow to the will of
the majority, as those with other views
would have been expected to do had the
result been different. The hue and cry
that was set up at once against the small
board, the throwing of obstacles in its
path, the lack of interest on the part of
many, the extraordinary interest of those
who were deposed, the cry of mo repre-
sentation"-and this was great factor
all aided in defeating the object that
many believe and still believe to be for
the best interests of the county. The
majority in favor of returning to the old
system is not such as to cause unlimited
satisfaction on the part of those who
were active in support of the movement.
On the contrary it shows that there is
still doubt on the subject and care must
be taken in selecting men to fill the
positions in the various township. rep
resentation" was the cry and represent
atives must be chosen. The days of graft
and carelessness have gone by. Those
who have proved recreant to their trust
in the past must not be considered.
There must be new deal in all ways. 1t
is up to the people now to show that the
large board of freeholders can conduct
the business of the county in business
like manner. Under the statements
made before election wherein some of
the faults of the new system were point
ed out we can now expect complete re-
newal and reconstruction of our roads
bridges will be built and the Burlington
bridges which have been such bone of
contention will be rushed to completion,
In fact all the sins of commission and
omission of the small board of freehold
ers will be corrected and we will go along
without further friction. There will not
be any need of increasing taxation or
valuation and the land will flow with
milk and honey.

FORMER Senator John d. Prince, who
was contemplating being a candidate
for Governor on the Republican ticket,
has withdrawn from the candidacy.
Like many others he feels that former
Governor Stokes is the logical candidate
and he will do all in his power to aid the
latter secure the nomination. The state
ment issued by Senator Prince in taking
his final bow as candidate, follows:
81 have been urged by friends for some
time past to enter the race for the guber-
material nomination in September of
this year. After giving the matter most
serious consideration, have reached the
conclusion that / shall not be a candi-
date at this time both in the interests
of harmony and because it seems to me
that the future welfare of the state is
dependent upon Republican success in
the coming election. The chaotic con-
ditions which prevail at present are, to
my mind, in a large measure traceable
to the unseating of the Republican party
from administrative affairs in New
Jersey.
Business methods have given place
to extravaganza and financial disorder
New and high-salaried official positions
have become the order of the daV. The
era of economy and far-sightedness
which marked the rule of our Republican
Governors has passed and to restore these
conditions we should seek the most ex-
perienced hand available in state affairs
In view of the fact that the name of
one of the ex-Governors of New Jersey
has been announced as a possible can
didate and standard bearer of the Re-
publican party, | feel that if his services
can be called into action at this time, it
will mean much for the well-being and
prosperity of the people of the state He
was in the vanguard of the legislative
movement which changed New JERSEYS
laws, making our state rich and power
full commonwealth, where peace and
order reigned. After a prolonged legis-
lative career, in which his name became
identified with advanced and progressive
legislation, he became the Chief Execu-
tive. Edward c. Stokes administration
as Governor is so familiar to the people
that the benefits accomplished during
his term of Office need not now be re-
counted by me. His conduct of affairs
resulted, not only in great material adj
vantages to the people at home, but
added lustre to New Jerseys name
throughout the country.
"As have already indicated, if such
man could again be called into public
service, the Republican party should not
neglect the opportunity"

TUESDAYS returns indicate that Bur
lington County has gone back by very
narrow majority to the old Board of
Freeholders. This re-adoption of the
old plan of county government under
which 'log-rolling" methods and other
scandals have prevailed in the past was
undoubtedly due to the apathy of the
voters. Only about one in four of the
voters of the county manifested suffi-
cient interest in public affairs to cast
ballot either for or against the small
board proposition. Friends of the old
board rallied to it's support all the
strength they could muster and the
small board lost because men who should
be earnest advocates of good govern
ment were too Indifferent to go to the
polling places.
1t is true that there was some COM
plant against the small board methods
which were in vogue for the past seven
months, but these were due to the work
or lack of work, of the individual mem
bers, and not to any defect in the small
board plan. The cure for such troubles
should have been the election of capable
men who would give their full time to
the Office.
The people of Burlington County have
made mistake and they will have to
pay the freight when the old board
methods are revived. The old board
will doubtless be fairly careful of public
funds and public affairs for time, but
history and experience show that with
cumbersome legislative bodies it is i'm
possible to fix responsibility and with
responsibility lacking abuses speedily
creep in, to the sorrow of the taxpayers.
Mercer County taxpayers should heed
the warning of the Burlington election
and when the opportunity is afforded
they should turn out in sufficient num-
bers to prevent the ringsters from win
ming their old board schemes and tricks.

was certainly a field day for Jim"
Fielder, Governor of this state "by acct
dent, " but who wants to occupy the
position by the votes of the people. The
displays at the little White House, at
Sea Girt, sank into insignificance with
the glory that surrounded Fielder al
Trenton, on Tuesday. when the laws
which he suggested and wanted passed
went through with bells on. 1t was his
victory and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
He pulled over sufficient votes to gain
his point and went back to camp en-
tirelY satisfied with his DAVIS work.

TUESDAY. AUGUST 10, 1918

TUESDAYS events at Trenton showed
that Jim" Fielder, acting Governor of
New Jersey, who is playing politics for
all it is worth to make the nomination
for the full term, had the Legislature en-
tirely under his control and when it
came to passing the law which he want
ed adopted, the votes were on hand to
do it. 1t took three Republican votes to
aid Fielder in this move and he got them.

POSTMASTER Thomas, of Atlantic City,
is having controversy with man
named Riddle, and in answer to some
charges made against him Thomas has
this to say: 81 was praised to the skies
for my 'unexampled courage 'brav-
cry, and such other rot" Now, many
people have been willing to admit that
all statements of Harvey's unexampled
courage, bravery, ETC., were rot, but as he
himself has said it, it must be so.
AT TRENTON Friday afternoon there
was gathering of representative men
from all parts of New Jersey, who dis
cussed the coming Gubernatorial cam
paign and the question of who would be
the man to lead the Republican forces in
that contest. There was butone opinion
and that was that former Governor
Stokes was the man. 1t was pointed
out that he was the one man on whom
all could unite. The situation was can
former Governor to enter the fight came
entirely from the different parts of the
state. 1t was not the man seeking the
Office, for there was no doubt but Mr..
Stokes would prefer to lend his energies
and influence for some other candidate.
But this was a call from the people. The
men who were at the conference were
those well versed in the political situa-
ton of the state, not confined to one
particular locality, but views obtained
by observation and visitation in other
counties than those in which they live.
The general sentiment was that former
Governor Stokes should heed the call of
the people and allow his name to head
the ticket.
