WILSON'S CAMPAIGN LETTER.

President Wilson letter to Majority Leader I'm
derwood up the chief results of the session OF
Congress which is to be ended this week The letter
is an effective campaign document. The President

speeches in the campaign and in lieu thereof he sends
out this letter for all voters to read
Congress and the administration being
attacked all along the line of the Congress districts
by Republican spelbinders and in Republican
papers the very record which President Wilson
presents evidence of the industry and patriotism
of the majority in Congress. The tariff, currency
and trust legislation of the session equally come
under Republican condemnation, which also does not
spare other acts by Congress which not included

TWO WEEKS TO ELECTION.

AS the election will take place on November g.
only about two weeks will eapse before the polls will
be opened and tomorrow will be the day on which
citizens of Newark may register for the election Into
these two weeks the political parties will put
ginger. So far the election campaign has exhibited
less interest than the primary election campaign that
preceded 1t, but there will be warming up towards
the end
And there should be. No matter what may be
happening in other countries, the American people
should give their attention to their public affairs
for therein lies their security from the very they
behold abroad The European is a striking les
son in good American citizenship and only the good
citizen takes live interest in his countrys politics.

MONDAY EvENING. ocToBER 1s. 1914.
THIS REPORT DESERVES CONDEMNATION.

The only thing about the report on alleged social
evil conditions in Newark immoral character is
to speak frankly, the report itself To those who
know Newark and Newarkers 1t is absurd produc-
tion, compilation of glitterng generalities, that
might applicable to city like Chicago, which is
frequently quoted in the pamphlet, patched up to
suit the writer's thereof and probably with the addi
tiona purpose of pleasing their employers.
There is strain of wretched imagination of the
pervert kind in the whole resultless effort, muck
rakng proposition conjured by adopts in that line and
strangers to Newark.
There is nothing to the credit of anyone in the
report. 1t should not have been printed 1t repre-
sents an outlay of considerable money printing and
a handsome sum paid to the American Vigilance Asso-
citation of somewhere.
This feature dscloses the fact that there many
come-ons in this city persons easily imposed
and whose readiness separate themselves from their
money is apt to give the impression to the nyesga-
tors that Newark is "jay town. in spots. the spots
being represented by the citizens who footed the bills
for the so-called Survey"
True, Newark is vindicated the city police are
praised, the Board of Health highly commended, and
in general favorable to conditions here
Where evils are alleged to exist it is made clear
that they are of nature that under the
observation of the police other criminal authori
ties.
But when strangers to Newark, who investigated
Newark less than year ago, attempt to bolster up
their Work Dy going aHelo over years "
credit for work DONE and of which they had no
personal knowledge, strength is given to suspicion
that certain persons seeking to their activi
ties by premeditated and deliberate intent to take
credit those to whom it properly and justly be-
longs-the present officials of the city of Newark The
animus is plain.
And more than an apology is due the en-
poyes of department stores shops and factories, to
stenographers and to honest home-workng girls for
the sweeping SANDER contained in the report based
upon the alleged discovery of just fftysix hayward
girls out of population of many thousands

combatants, women and children,
who lie at the mercy of the coming
winter. 1t Is perhaps the worthiest
and the most practical charity that
has been born of the war. Heartily
as the Red Cross has been supported
in this country, the medical aid 1t
offers sends it's beneficiaries only the
sooner back to the front to kill or
to be wounded again. 1t lessons the
combantants suffering; but by that
same token it makes war easier to
bear and perhaps even tends to pro-
long it, In the last analysis it is n
military organization, and, like other
things military in time of war; it
can take little thought of the neu-
trail. But the stricken fields of Bel
GUM leave more than soldiers to be
cared for How to protect from want
and desolation the thousands of out
casts who are wandering homeless
over Northern France and Belgium
today is a problem for the world to
consider and for the world to solve.
Charity has suddenly had to enroll
whole nation on her list of the
worthy helpless.
And yet we must remember that
charity begins at home. If we have
no conception of the havoc and ruin
tne war is causing ABROAD, neVertne-
less we must not forget that it is
to be heavily felt here. The wealthy
are curtalling their expenses; and
to cut off customary contributions
to charity is a simple, easy way to
economize. 1t is being resorted to.
The September receipts of one Balti-
more charity organization totaled
about $40; ordinarily that month
yields 1t over $4,000.
This is condition and tendency
which must be frankly met 1t would
be the height of unwisdom to urge
contributions for Europe II the
poor-more poor than in years be-
fore-are to be left to knock at
our own door in vain. Let one give
to Europe out of ones superiority;
but let not American needs go neg

by pooling business, and in this deci-
sion four judges concur unanimously.
This opinion may be taken as another
indication of the disposition of courts
to apply the rule of reason" to the
Interpretation of laws relating to COM
binations Sin restraint of trade" The
antitrust statute had been so con-
strued, as Judge Lacombe said, as to
make it unlawful for two individuals
who had been operating rival express
wagons between villages in two con-
tiguous states to join forces and
operate single line. The Supreme
Court in recent decisions has placed
itself on record as favoring the rule
of reason" and has held that trusts"
which restrained trade unduly and
with harmful results to the public
were alone to be considered amena-
BILE to the provisions of the law. Judge
Lacombe and the jurists who agree
with him follow that lead. The deci-
sion in question was given in a case
where it was shown that a combina-
ton of steamship interests, while 1t
resulted in fixing" rates, did so In
manner which corrected certain in
| furious conditions ana did away with
competition that was ruinous and un-
reasonable. Some interesting conclu-
sions are drawn from this finding.
| The New York Times thinks the
decision shows that the trade COM
mission bill is superfiuity, since the
| principle set forth in Judge La
combe's opinion leaves such a COM
mission with practically nothing to
| do. THE Clayton omnibus trust bill
also loses its merit says the New
York Times. The courts NAV be
trusted to accomplish all that is nec-
essary to assure reasonable restric-
tions upon combinations in restraint
of trade, and the public interest is
safeguarded. There is coming to be
a thorough understanding of the fact
that competition may be excessive
and mischievous as well as stimula-
! tive and beneficial Therefore all
combinations to prevent competition
may not be Objectionable. The courts
recognize that principle, and there
is no call for drastic" legislation on
| the subject. As the New York Times
| remarks: when Congress stops
| grinding out laws business men can
rest, work and prosper" The Clay
ton trust bill may become a law, but
| there really seems to be no need of
such q measure. .,

"I have retained many memories of
