concerns the whole citizenship OF
New Jersey. With the taking of the
selection of United States senators
from the legislatures. partisanship
has utterly lost its meaning in State
politics and State legislation.
Most of the present Democratic
members of the Legislature were
elected by minority vote, as was the
president President of the United
States and almost every Democratic
member of the present Congress.
It is possible that had there been
only two parties last fall, instead OF
three, the result would have been diff
ferent. although l personally do not
think IL would That. however, is be-
side the question. The fact is that
the election of Democratic legis-
lature last fall was no more popular
declaration for jury commissions than
the election of Woodrow Wilson and
a Democratic congress was popular
declaration for free trade. Every
vote for either Taft or Roosevelt was
a. vote for protective tariff, and, on
this division, the majority OF the
voters of the country opposed the
Democratic tariff program. On jury
reform" however, there IS not even
so clear a verdict as this The Legis-
lature simply went through in New
Jersey with the Democratic landslide
Nobody knew or cared much what
was in the platform. The main pur-
pose of thirds of the voters or
more was to rebuke the Republican
party.
Voters Should Have Chance.
And while these facts may not and
probably do not absolye the Demo-
cratic Legislature from its campaign
pledges, they do. in my opinion, make
it highly desirable that on a question
so closely debated and important as
this the voters, either in each county
or in the State at large. should have
the chance given them to vote sepa-
rately on this issue. I have not often
agreed with Mr.. Nugent, and it is
possible that his reasons and mine
may not wholly coincide for our
agreement on this question, but l be-
lieve the Essex county assemblymen
are right and the administration Is
wrong as to the referendum clause of
the jury bill.
A delay of few months is surely
not going to be vital. If the Presi-
dent is right. and the people of the
State really want this reform" they
will certainly say so when they have
a chance to do so clearly, by refer
endum vote. And If the President
and his advisers are wrong, as I be-
lieve they are. in believing that the
people want this change, then GER
tainly the reform ought not to be
forced upon them. With referen-
dunn there will be no question left as
to whether The people want their
juries chosen by popularity elected
sheriffs or appointed commits
sions.
There is now very much of a doubt
as to what the people do want in this
connection, and If the bill is forced
upon the statutes without referen-
dunn this doubt will always remain.
The Democratic Legislature can no
better show its belief and confidence
in popular gov eminent than by pass
ing a jury commission bill with :.
referendum. and at the same tine
calling q constitutional convention, in
which the initiative. ref ,rendum and
recall may be adopted AMI made APP
plicable to all Legislation and all
public officials.

BASEBALL PARK SPECIALS
APPEAL TO POLICE BOARD

The five special patrolmen who
were dismissed from the employ of
the Newark Baseball Club yesterday
afternoon will air their grievances be-
fore the Board of Police Commission
ers tomorrow afternoon.
The management of the club insists
that it's position is properly taken
and that the spectators and property
owners in the vicinity of the ball park
are entitled to police protection from
the city. They further state that this
protection is furnished In all other
cities where baseball Is played.
The special patrolmen say their dis
missal was the result of having
secured an increase in pay.

FORTY DAYS IN JAIL.

Charged with disorderly conduct,
John Castles. of 112 Cabinet street,
was sentenced to forty days in Jail
today when he failed to pay the $40
fine imposed by Acting Judge Oehring
at the Second Precinct Court. Cas-
ties was the victor last night in an
impromptu wrestling match on the
rear platform of a Broad street car.
Following difference with the con-
ductor, Patrick Kilcullen, he leaped
upon that official, and, it is said, had
pinned the latter's shoulders to the
floor when arrested by Patrolman
O'Connor, who took him to the near
est patrol box, loudly offering to
lick the whole Public Service Cor
poration."

P~ieasingly o

President Wilson's message read to
Congress yesterday departs from
precedent in many pleasing ways. 1t
is so>short that it will be read, and so
earnest hat it will compel attention.
For many years Presidential messages
have been merely perfunctory affairs,
seemingly sent to Congress on the
opening day of the session merely be-
cause it was customary to send them
at that time. Presidents have taken
advantage of this annual occasion to
relieve their minds of ideas on all
kinds Of subjects, important and I'M
important, and in covering such a
wide rangAhave stretched their mate
rial out so thin that its weight could
not be felt.
President Wilson has confined his
attention to things he wants Congress
to do, n so what he says will inn
press. His message may not be as
full OF information on miscellaneous
subjects as were those of his prede-
cessors, but it is neither necessary n %
desirable that it should be. Congress
can get much more complete inform
alton from the reports Of the various
departments than it could from an
extremely lengthy Presidential mes
sage, and so long as all these reports
are accessible there is no reason why
the President should epitOmiZe theiE
contents.-Jacksonville Times-UniOn.

In Praise Of the President.

President Wilson's addresses or
self-delivered messages TO Congress on
the State n the Union are a relief
and a boon to the Republic. Colonel
Roosevelt's appetite for statement and
re-statement ate up thousands OF
miles Of good paper. II Mr. Taft had
a genius for condensation he disguised
the fact successfully during his term
Of office. Look back through h dis
t~inguished inc Of the predecessors OF
Mr.. Taft and Colonel Roosevelt n
see how many Of them had the SUI
preme gift of control over utteranCe.
Now comes this academic person
who is generally believed and whom
we ourselves solemnly believe to be
capable, if he thought duty required,
Of oratOrical protraction to an extent
that would make Roosevelt seem con-
else and Taft lacOnic. Without any
ceremony or fuss of any kind he abol-
ishes the old regular annual message
or Presidential treatise on All Things,
mostly unnecessary to mention, and
substitutes therefor the short speech
to the legislators which we have be-
fore us this morning, somewhat in
the form of the best Of the inaugural
addresses, simple, direct, Ineligible,
and beautifully dressed in English
that could not be improved.
All honor, we say to the Hon. Wood
row Wilson for this glorious achieve
ment of courage and sense
