PRAISE FOR GOVERNOR EDGE. Probably no official of the State of New Jeney ha* attracted a* much atteatlon of tbe metropolitan prea* baa Walter K. Edge alnce bis recendency to lb# Governorship of New Jer

•ey.

Tbe lateat glowing tribute to tbe abLIly of Mr. Edge is from tbe pen of America's greatest editor, Arthur Brisbane. of tbr New York Journal and Waabington Time*, who save of Edge Tbe Governor of New Jersey *ay*. In hie annual message, that houstwlves, business men and shopkeeper* of hi* Stf.e must "save at tbe spigot, because there has been all manner of waste at the bung of neglected opoortanlty.” We -ecommend ibis statement other governors, and especially to tbe National Government, which has been planning to give away thousands and mllikm* of property belonging to the public. Governor Edict of New Jersey is a new kind of Governor and should be studied as we study a new Burbank Plant Be baa suggested that tbe State' property, instead of being given away or sold for nothing, should be leased and made to pay a big Income to tbe State. He fcas appointed a port and hxrbot development commission to make New Jersey what u ooght to be—a ship building, sblpdocklng. ship-load-ing State He knows that the Sun- of New Jerwry has In Newark what ought be a combination of Manchesu-i and Uverpool. on a bigger scale than both combined, and he Is wot king to dnee that kind of a combinationmore power to him He It working on one problem of waier-troai development as PEOPLE'S PBOPERTY which will grie to the people an income twice the sU» ot th.Btaie's entire income now • It Is tntc-revUtiK to observe that New Jersey, a great, thickly populated State, baa an outside income PER YEAR lean than tbe monthly income of one cuizc-n of the Pnited States.

NO REFUGE BEHIND THE DOCUMENT HE -SCRAPPED. Tbe Constitution U now cited to defend the President's opposition to tbe establishment of a war cabinet. It la the New York World which prodt this argument, claiming that the Constitution vests no power In tbe Prwsl lent “to transfer the executive functions with which he 1* Intrusted three distinguished cltlxens ot demonstrated ability’ or three undiatlngulsb•d rltisens of undemonstratod ablll- : the President has constantly been doing this Utter, with and withCongresslanal action. He has steadfastly sought great powers from Congress, which powers, being granted him he has transferred to mediocre Democrats or to equally mediocre men claiming allegiance to other parties bnt whe have voted for and supported Woodrow Wilson. The Constitution has been no bar to him when he has lo do something In lire with his personal Inclinations: and that ancient document i« of us* to him now only as Its previsions can be cited i for his not doing something which he does not want to do. As a matter of fact, there is no Constitutional question involved In the proposed war cabinet But there Is question of grave national import involved In it. That question turns upon the winning of the war and upon our alma in general. Are we stm seeking •peace without victory— Or are we really desirous of making the world safe for republican institutions* There Is no doubt where tbe nation stands on this question There is no doubt bow tbe tethers and mothers whose boys are In France or freeling In cantonment feel about this. They are for tbe winning of tbe war. as speedily and as thoroughly as possible. They will no; submit to a prolongation of tbe pitiful Inefficiencies of the War Department beyond the time when they can themselves apply a remedy. If their representatives in Congress ,wi!l not apply tbe remedy or if the President with his veto Interpose* to prevent the application of a remedythen so much the worse for the Con grees and for the President. Tbe peo-

ple will not forget.
