SOUTH JERSEY is
SOLID FOR EDGE.

If there is any opposition to his
candidacy for Governor in South Jer-
sey, it is confined to disaffected Re-
publicans who lost their jobs because
of his insistent stand for reform leg
i~slation to put the State administra-
ton upon a business basis, Senator
Walter E. Edge said after his tour in
GLIDING every South Jersey County
except Cape May.
~ have visited virtually the whole
of South Jersey as well as the up
per part of the State" the Senator
said, "and was everywhere received
in a name that gives me cause, !
believe, to be confident Of nomination
in September. What slight opposition
there is to my candidacy, I believe, is
confined to three men, one each in the
counties of Burlington, Camden and
Cumberland. Each of these lost State
jobs through my activity in passing
the economy and efficiency legislation
in accordance with the platform pied.

The Democratic platform of this
year does not follow its Baltimore pre-
decessor by incorporating a declara-
ton that the pledges of the document
are made to be observed in Office as
we'll as to be used in seeking votes.
The reason for the omission is entirely
clear. The promises of the Baltimore
platform were so much more uniform
ly honored in the breach rather than
in the observance that the Democrats
this year sought to duck the obvious
and invidious and odious comparison.
However, it is of small consequence,
because the St. Louis platform is not
the document which will be invoked
during the next four years. The chart
for this country's progress during
that time was drafted at Chicago in
the Republican convention.

STOKES is. OUT OF THE
U. S. SENATE RACE.

Declaring that he will fight in the
ranks, instead of as a candidate, for
Republicanism "whose motto is SER
vice and whose object is the country's
good" former Governor E. c. Stokes,
in a statement issued Saturday, fore
goes his ambition and retires as a
prospective candidate for the Republi-
can nomination in the September pri-
maries for United States Senator. He
leaves the Republican contest for this
office to former Governor Franklin
Murphy, of Essex, and former State
Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, Of
Somerset.
By eliminating himself now, it is
believed in political circles that Mr..
Stokes will find his way clear for the
Republican United States senatorial
nomination two years hence, when the
term of United States Senator Will
liam Hughes expires.
The present contest is for the sue
censorship to United States Senator
James E. MARITIME, the farmer ora
tor" a Democrat, who seeks re-elec-
ton and is opposed by the Wilson
Democrats, because they say he has
not backed the president in all his
policies. Against MARITIME, the Will
son Democrats will likely nominate
Attorney General John W. Wescott,
of Camden County, who twice nominal
ted Woodrow Wilson for the presiden-
cy.
Mr.. Stokes says he realizes that the
next administration, if Republican,
would be under the deepest obliga-
ton to the Republicans of New Jer-
sey if the party should sink all per-
sonal differences and set an example
to the rest of the country by present
ing a united front for Hughes and
Fairbanks, rather than continue a pri-
mary fight within the party until the
last of September. He says that
those who favor the election of Mr..
Hughes must also favor the election
of a Republican congress to support
his policies.
He sounds a warning against posi-
BILE disaster through fractional fighting
and says if he can serve his party at
the price of personal disappointment
he is content.

As The Editor Sees It


Just as we are theoretically patting
ourselves on the back in the fond be-
lief that we have automatically side
stepped the dangers of international
complications we are suddenly con-
fronted with the possibility of serious
trouble with England over her now
famous blacklist.
First it was Mexico, and after many
long months of notes and talks and
confabs and the mobilization of troops
a silver lining appeared in the clouds
and war was deferred at least.
Then differences with Germany
arose and for a long time we tottered
on the brink of deadly strife. That
happily was eventually removed and
we breathed again.
Then Mexico broke out afresh and
the National Guard was rushed to the
border a hundred thousand strong,
where it is sweltering in the sun and
lodging the bullets of the snipers
across the Rio Grande. For a time 1t
looked as though war was inevitable,
but Carranza needed money and be-
came a good Indian" in order to X
tract more gold from Wall street.
That is the Mexican status today.
Peace again seems at least in pros
pect, until England stepped upon the
American toe, and now we are face to
face with another crisis.
And thus we go on from day to day.
One day it is peace, and the next it is
the imminence of war, while even a
few days hence are e%nshrouded in i'm
penetrable mystery.
These indeed are the days when the
wise man sleeps with both eyes open,
lest he lose them before he awakes.

Feeling the summer heat a little
too much for comfort? Take a good
bath every night before retiring, keep
fresh clean underwear next to your
body, pay strict attention to your di-
gestion, drink plenty of pure water,
and you will feel a different person in
a very short time.

A few months ago we were peeved
at the cold weather and were wishing
that summer would hurry along. 1t
is here in all the glory of its scorch-
ing rays, and now we are wondering
and longing for the good old winter
days again. We just never can be
satisfied, no matter what we get.

A daily paper says: at is not safe
to rely solely upon dreadnaughts, or
cruisers, or submarines. A modern
navy must be well balanced. Naval
experts know what is needed and the
senate bill follows their recommended
tions as nearly as is politically posi-
BILE" There it is again! POLITICALLY
possible" The country's needs play
ing second fiddle to peanut politics.
1t has always been so, and, we pre-
sumo, always will be-or at least I'M

We have been reading a lot lately
about these man eating sharks that
suddenly appeared along the coast and
frightened the bathers from the wat
er. But we note, without surprise,
that not a chirp is vouchsafed regard
ing the two-legged sharks that infest
the bathing beaches and devour the
young girls who daily fall into their
clutches. But then, the two legged
shark is socially, politically and fin
ancially powerful and it would be ex-
tremely discourteous and unwise to
disturb him in the enjoyment of his
innocent pastime." A shark is a
shark, but his status is qualified by
the breed.
