has remained the same. An increase
would be naturally looked for, but
this seems to indicate that many Of

which is now avoided by a greater

In state affairs the new political
condition produces about the same
results. OF the sixty members of the
present New Jersey assembly, just
twenty-five were elected by ma
jority of the votes in their counties.
while thirty-eight assemblymen re-
ceiyed less than half the votes in
the election. Only two of the six
state senators chosen last fall were
the choice of majority of the voters
in their counties. Six senators had a
combined vote of 2S,12S, while the
votes for other candidates opposing
them, combined, were 40,962.
AS governor, President Wilson urged
that the voters be given a second
choice of candidates in the party pri-
maries, for all offices, so that it
might be assured that the party nomi-
nees in all cases would be the choice
of at least a majority of the party
voters. Short-sighted political vision
of the two leading candidates for the
democratic gubernatorial nomination
in New Jersey defeated this proposal,
SO that it is practically. assured, il
there are three or more democratic
candidates for governor in the demo-
cratic primaries this fall, the demo-
cratic nominee will be the choice of
less than a majority of the voters
of his party. The election of candi-
date thus nominated, running against
republican, progressive and socialist
candidates., would almost certainly
give us a governor who was the
choice, not only of minority of all
the voters, but of a minority Of the
members of his own party.

something that should not exist, the
justice declared. 1t is true that
where there is wholesale employment
of labor, particularly in those indus
tries of the mining in the earth,
there will be more or less disagree
ment between employees and employers
over the conditions of work. But the
law does not recognize any acts of
violence, threats or intimidation in
regard to these disagreements. That
something of this kind has been 60
ing on for some time the Justice
said was evident. A man has right
| to work where he will and il not
satisfied with conditions may quit,
seek another job or live without
working provided he does not become
burden upon the community. EN-
ployers are entitled to employ whom
they will but cannot compel men to
work who have refused to do so even
If they are under contract. The en-
ployers have the right to employ
others to take the places of those
who leave their jobs and are entitled
under the law to have these men
work in peace under protection of
the county and state.
Justice Parker dwelt upon the fact
that the grand jury was held un-
hampered in its investigation of af-
fairs at Mt. Hope to complaints made
before local magistrates but could
proceed with the aid of the proscu-
tor to call such witnesses as it
might desire. That what Is claimed
to be a public road has been closed
by the mine company the justice told
the grand jury, and told them it was
up to them to discover whether or
not the road, was a public one. If
it was the Company was indictable
for maintaining a nuisance in the
erection of the fence across the road.
That the carrying of concealed
weapons has been charged the JUS
tice said, and he told the grand jury
that the guards which the company
has the right to maintain if it an
ticipates trouble, may carry guns or
I revolvers in holsters and the com
pany may maintain fire arms on its
property. Guards in the employ OF
legally organized detective agencies
may carry concealed weapons as well
as regular peace officers in charge
of the sheriff.
Morris county is a well ordered
county, the justice asserted, there
fhave been no homicide cases for two
or three years past and the disor'
der in the mining districts Is the
only serious disturbance to confront

M.R. MILLS LONG SERVICE.
For Half Century :an Officer in ST.
Peters Church. sIei

The recent reelection of Alfred
Mills as senior warden of st. Peters
church was an event that marks a
term of service to the church which
is not only of great significance to
ST., Peters but is remarkable in the
annals of the Protestant Episcopal
church, says st Peters Record" 1t
was fifty years ago, Easter Monday
evening, April 6, 1858. that Mr.. Mills
was first elected to the vestry of the
church. On Easter Monday evening,
April 2, 1866, Mr. Mills was elected
junior wardeni On Easter Monday
evening, April sd1,1 1872, Henry A.
Ford was elected senior warden for
the last time and Mr.. Mills was re.
elected junior warden. Mr.. Ford
died on April %, 1872, and Mr.. Mills
became acting senior warden at that
time and was elected senior warden
on Easter Monday evening, 1873, for
ty years ago. with Henry w. Ford
as junior warden. Mr. Mills has
held many offices in the church dur
ing the fifty years past. When he
was reelected in 1910 as deputy to
the general convention he had served
the convention as deputy longer than
any man in the church and his de-
cision that he was unable to attend
the convention again was a matter
of regret to the diocese. He has
been a member of the board oi
domestic and foreign missions fol
years.
