THE Newark Nes0s has little cause tt
worry over the libel suit brought by form
er Senator Fitzherbert. The suit serves
10 recall that an opinion was promised
by Woodrow Wilson, when Governor, as
TO Fitzherbert's guilt or innocence, but
was never given to the public. If testi.
mony as to the plaintiffs character is
desired, his Democratic colleagues who
called upon him TO resign should be sum-
moned as witnesses, one of them being
he present Governor of the state-Cdnq-

Isn't Woodrow Wilson the lucky
log says an ex-senator. He came
North to Jersey and was elected Cover.
nor at time when the Republicans had
eft the treasury full of money and every
Thing was going along smoothly and
prosperously. Then he and his party
spent all the money and passed a lot OF
bills that cut off the income consider
hbly. His successor finds the finances
BIT distressingly low ebb and every
hing at skies and sevens in consequence
bf the crazy mismanagement of his pTede-
cessor. Poor Fielder! He is victim OF
the vagaries of Woodrow Wilson, and no
pne can help him feeling sorry for him
in this emergency. But it was just the
f'Wilson luck" which will turn one of
these days, and then w. w. will not re-
gard himself as such big man as he
seems to think himself at the present

NEW JERSEY Democrats certainly
would split sentiment in the event of
Joseph p. Tumulty, secretary to Presi-
dent Wilson, succeeding to the chair
manship of the Democratic National
COMMITTEE, provided Chairman Nc
Combs should accept appointment as a
Civil Service Commissioner in New
York, or to any other public job. Tumul-
Nv would fit in where ability alone
served, but there is a robust party in this
state that could not be persuaded to ac-
eept one so close to and confidential with
The President as Tumulty is known to
be. The fair-haired and brainy secretary
has long been recognized by New Jersey
Democrats as the only gateway through
which they could reach the President,
hnd hundreds of them never did get over
or under the bars while Tumulty has
been on guard, in Trenton or Washing
ION. If this feeling exists as strongly in
bther states as in New Jersey, Tumulty
will cutIout. work for himself should he

How to escape State Tax is one of
|the serious problems that the present
administration has to solve.
For good many years the leaders of
the Democratic party have told the
people that, if the Republicans were
burned out of power, great extravagances
In the management of the affairs of the
state would be stopped. The people be-
ieved what they were told. Woodrow
Wilson was elected Governor of the
State, and he was given working force
In the Legislature that enabled him to
accomplish everything that he under
look to accomplish. When DIR. Wilson
hook the helm of the Ship of State,
there was full treasury. He and his
associates preached economy loudly and
persistently. They told the people that
kreat reforms in the management of the
Btate's affairs were to be brought about
That there was to be no extravaganza
That useless offices were to be abolished
and that overlapping departments were
10 be consolidated. And the people be-
|ieved that all these things were going
TO happen. But they haven't happened.
