without 1t human beings drift to
Joints where paupers swat the
flies. All workers now IRE in de-
mand, there's no excuse for idle
lads; employers in the market
stand and offer forty kinds Of
scads. Work brings a lordly rec
ompense. such al it never brought
before; no delegate with any ens
will let q wolf camp by his door.
It's harvest time for those who
wish a bank account to rear and
raise, to put some money in a dish.
and save 1t gfor the rainy days.
Said rainy days r bound to
come, with wailing winds and
heavens dank; then happy he who
has a sum of kopeckc sailed in the

you earn. If you believe, and think
and say, that coin was merely
made to burn. to throw at birds,
and fool away. What profits it to
shed your sweat, and through the
long hours toll and spin. If you are
evermore in debt, and lodging,
bailiffs and their kin? Be thrifty
now, while money flows to every

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

1t is hardly to be expected that the
message that Acting Governor Run
you delivers to the legislature today
will carry much weight. He is so soon
to go out of ofice-in fact, he goes
out of Office Immediately after the
reading Of his age-that he will
not be in a position to put through
his program. The real interest is GEN.
tered In the inaugural address Of the
incoming governor. Edward I. Ed
wards, which will be delivered one
week from today. He will be the
executive for the next three years
provided he doesn't get some other
bee In his bonnet as has become the
custom with governors recently-and
to him the legislature will have to
look for such cooperation as 1t will
receive from the executive.
The message today, however, nay
tend to cause some Republicans to re-
feet as to what might have been had
tliVJ pCNb Nv A4I1iAiIGN W
first the welfare of their state and
party when the nominations were
made last fall instead of trying to
cram down the Threats Of the people
a candidate that had comparatively
little popular backing but who was the
favorite of the Organization" If the
Republican state leaders had kept
hands off the primaries and permitted
tn rank and file of the Republican
voters to choose whom they would,
there is good reason to believe that
instead of listening to q farewell
message today and bidding goodbye
to e Republican administration, they
would be receiving a message of a
man about to enter upon a full term
as governor ready to work with the
Republican majority in the legislature
in putting through a constructive
program that would mean much for
New Jersey.
But Governor Runyon's message
today will have It's effect at least in
a~ffording a contrast and fixing a
standard that the incoming governor
will have to meet. We can imagine
no one more capable of setting q high
standard for legislation than William
N. Runyon. He is thoroughly sound
in his ideas and Independent enough
to state them regardless of what
others may think of his attitude. Mr..
Edwards will have to exert himself to
present o program that will maintain
this precedent.

M~IDDLESEx.

Middlesex county cannot allow to
go unnoticed the slur hat las been
cast upon 1t by Police Inspector Cady,
of Bayonne, who charges that efforts
were made by higher ups both In
side and outside official circles here to
prevent identification of automobiles
that had been stolen In Bayonne and
thai were recovered In this county.
In the first place, the inference Is
that the Bayonne police claim entire
credit for the recovery of the stolen
automobiles whereas Middlesex coun-
ty detectives have performed valuable
service and it has been due largely to
their efforts that the automobile
thievery has been cleaned up. There
is no reason why Bayonne should get
away with any unusual credit, espe-
cially when there is a slur cast on this
county at the same time.
AS for anybody higher up" in Mid
ton of the stolen automobiles n
thereby interfering with justice. there
should be a thorough investigation
that the guilty ones, If there are any,
may be exposed. Police Inspector
Cady, having made his charges reflect
ing on the integrity of Middlesex Of
f1cials ought to be compelled to tell
all that he knows about the matter.
If he has not the facts to back up his
assertions he should be made to admit
that he does not NOW what he is
talking about. AS matters stand now
he has cast a shadow over all the
higher officials of this county. 1t
hardly seems likely that these officials
will be satisfied to let the matter rest
where 1t is.
