BUYING HISTORIC BUILDINGS.

If New Jersey is going into the pur-
chasing of real estate for the historic
interest there may be in it there is
no limit. apparently, to what may be
done in a state so full of historical
landmarks.
Discussing the bill introduced pro-
viding for the purchase of h former
home of Walt Whitman, In Camden,
the Trenton Times says:
"If the Legislature shall ~favorably
act upon the Simpson bin, providing
for the purchase Of the former home
of Walt Whitman, in Camden, and
converting it into a memorial
museum, the people of Trenton Will
feel encouraged to ask that the State
acquire title to 'Woodlawn' or
bloomsbury Court on South Warren
Street, the original building on which
dates back to 1921.
THE State has brought about all
such real estate as it should be ex-
pected to do at present. Better leave
something to local enterprise or senti-
ment. If Camden is not sufficiently in
terested in Walt Whitman's one-time
home. and Trenton in 'Woodlawn,' to
raise the money needed, the prop
critics may well be left to their fate,
and the schemes of the spectators
thwarted."
But of as much historic interest as
any of them is the old colonial man
sion in this city known as the West
minister. In this building Governor

Rennbliean legislature.

Mr.. Stokes may say what he likes
and try to dodge his W RESPONSE
biiity, II the fact remains that by
forcing such a candidate as Newton
A.. X. Bugbee upon the Republican
party he invited just what he got. He
made it easy for she liquor interests
TO put Edwards over.
Had Acting Governor Runyon been
nominated it Is pretty generally be-
lieved he would have beef elected In
spite of all the liquor interests could
do for Edwards. Stokes ruled other
wise and therefore he must assume the
responsibility for Republican defeat
rather than try to shift it to the in
nuence of the liquor men in behalf Of
the Democratic nominee.

STICK TO STANDARD TIME.

The utmost confusion is bound to
follow the attempt at daylight saving
that will be made in certain locali-
ties next month. How foolish II Is for
any single municipality, OF even state,
to set itself up as greater than the
nation. 1t Is utterly impossible for
New York, for instance to ave a time
ell her own while the official time at
Washington Is entirely different.
Just because New York and Phila-
delphia have decided to set their
clocks an hour ahead this spring the
Pennsylvania railroad has decided to
run It's trains on that schedule. But
other railroads will stick to standard
time.
Here in Perth Amboy, no matter
what time we may adopt locally, the
Central railroad will operate on
standard time which tho Pennsylvania
railroad will be an hour ahead, using
New York time. The result will be
confusion worst COMPOUNDED. For in
stance, the 1918 A. NJ. Pennsylvania
train will have come and gone Ions
before the 9.42 A. M. Central train IS
due. And so it will be all through the
timetable.
Mails will open and close &C
eording to government time fixed at
Washington yet some trains carrying
mail will be an hour ahead. Imagine
the p-redicament of the person try
ing to make train connections at a
certain point. His timetable will show
that there is a half hour to spare,
vet on arriving he will find the train
departed q half hour before.
This advancing clocks has got to be
for the whole nation or not at all.
The communities and business In gem
eral are too closely associated to es-
tablish Independent time TO suit local
conyeniences. New York viii hnd
hat 1t cannot regulate the whole
country In this regard. Thousands OF
clocks regulated by the naval observa-
tory at Washington through the West
ern Union will be one thing and other
clocks something else.
The bill pending in the New Jersey
legislature providing for setting the
clocks of this state ahead one hour
should be- defeated. 1t will only q
to the confusion. Let us keep New
Jersey in the Union. Sooner or later
all time has got to become standSrd
and the standard will be fixed at
Washington not by a bunch OF alder
men in New York City Hall. AS much
as we may favor saving the hour OF
daylight In summer We have got to
stick to standard time.
As a matter of fact, all that IS nee
{. essary to save the hour in summer
is to use a little will power instead oil
trying to fool ourselves. Get up at +
O'Clock instead of 7 and get down TO
work at 7 instead of s o'clock; have
luncheon at II o'clock instead of at
noon and quit work at 4 o'clock in
stead of at 5 and YOU have accom-
nlished eactly the same thing as set
ting the clock an hour ahead,
But if we must fool ourselves, let
1t be lone nationally instead of local
". We cannot afford to have every
town and city run on q time to suit it's
own convenience. The world is topsy-
turyy enough now without deliberate
ly adding to our troubles in any such
n as is proposed.

,1R. sToKEs's RESPONSIBILITY.

Former Governor Stokes, Repub-
Ilican state chairman, says the reason
Edward /. Edwards was elected gov
ernor Of New Jersey last fall was be-
cause he promised to overthrow the
)Constitution Of the United States. AS
lGovernor Edwards has not seen fit to
contradict this statement made by the
former governor. 1t must come pretty
near being the truth. OF course Gov
|ernor Edwards Toes not refer to his
liquor stand as an attempt to over
throw the Constitution of the United
States. He camouflages 1t under the
claim of q fight for personal liberty
What is actually proposed however.
is the notification OF the eighteenth
amendment Of the federal Constitu-
ton as far as New Jersey is concern
ed.
In his address before the Essex
County Republican Committee in
Newark last Friday night, the Rep
|ubliean state chairman is quoted as
saying that those interested in the
fight against the prohibition amend
ment, which interfered with their
business had decided to make New
Jersey the battle-ground of the nation,
after being advised by counsel that
on the basis of states rights New
Jersey could overthrow the constitu-
tional provision
"Mr. Edwards promised to do this,
Ito use the states legal machinery to
do it and that's why you have a
| Democratic governor" Mr.. Stokes de-
clared.
But Mr.. stokes, who, as chairman
of the Republican State Committee.
was responsible more than anyone
else for the management of the
Republican campaign last fall, is try
ing to get out from under. He would
shift the responsibility for the
ignominious defeat.
AS a matter of fact the state chair
man himself is largely responsible Tor
the election of a Democratic gov
ernor. He well knows hat he cram
med down the Threats OF the ltepub-
llicans q nominee for governor that
nobody wanted. The only sentiment
for Bugbee was what was manifested
by Stokes and his immediate asso-
ciates on the state committee.
At that so-called convention of the
state Republican clubs held previous
Ito the primaries the stage was all set
for booming Bugbee above every
body else in spite OF the protestations
of the state chairman hat the owen
tionw as to boom no candidate.
! The convention was held at Tren-
lton, Bugbee's home city. The hall
! was packed with his friends. Bugbee's
entrance was timed so as to attract
the biggest attention. The band had
evidently been tipped off and upon
Bugbee's appearance it struck up
Hail to the Chief"
Yet outside among the rank and
file of the voters, Bugbee was looked
upon as a %nonentity. He had no real
| following and there was no real en-
lthusiasm for him. But backed by the
Organization of which Stokes was the
, head, he became the party nominee.
Then Bugbee proceeded to conduct
a pussy-footing campaign, trying to
lsuit everybody but pleasing none. The
result was. he went down to defeat
