POLITIMSTY New Jersey’s Governor Is A Strong Believer in the Sacredbsss of the Law And In Its Enforcement

By Jan>«« A. E«g*rton. If 1 wrre trying to descrlb* In * word the moat deatlnctlve trait of John franklin fort, governor of New Jeraey. I should Mf U U pollUcAl honraty He believes thst on the statute book to be enforced: that s promise Is In s party platforn

to be kept.

On the Inside It Is said that President Roosevelt and President elect Taft had bad their e-ay Fort would now be the vice president elect in place of "Suany Jim" Sherm Utica. N. Y. Personally 1 wish Roosevelt and Taft had won o this matter, although It would been a pity to waste a good a

as Fort on that Job.

la a way Governor Fort Is to New Jersey tfhat Governor Hughes Is '♦lew York. The two are good friends and rece>tly spent s day together consultation. Hughes' anti race track legislation la bailanced by Fort' 4n driving gamming out of Loni Branch when be was on the suprei bench'and his threat as governor call a special session of the legli Jure to deal with the case If the I tela and saloons of Atlantic City dl< not obey the Run day closing law Both men demand advanced pitman laws and the Massachusetts ballot .both are good lawyers and believe li high standards Jo polities, and bot) have the courage to say whal the) think and do what they say.

Paid Back Evsey Cent.

There are a few Instances In tbt career of Governor Fort ths: Ulus ' Gate the quality of thj man. The : first occurred Just after he was oul » of law school. HU father bad ad van ; red money for young Fort's educatlor. * but the boy did not rest until ou: r of bU first earnings., he paid back

: e vary cent - . . _

The second Incident occurred wber the young man choosing a career He Is not the first New Jersey gov m entor) in the Fort Family, his uncle. . k George F. Fort, haring held that ez vsited office back In the fifties. When advising with the old gentlema: ' about the way to grab abe euccea. "Trull 08 t** political tree the origins: . governor Fort advised hU nephew to '.mow? to Jersey City and become t Democrat as that was the only par vly through which be could hope foi •'preferment To this the young mar -■-demurred. He did not object to Jer 'eey City, but he was a Republics: -and would not change his cost fo:

an office. ’. 1 ^ ’

The third characteristic event was pulled ^ff many years later. In the meantime John franklin Fort had been doing things, had served a long time as district Judge, was a leader kf the bar aod a political orator re ' pggadgarf by his party, it was In 1884. and bi» friends wanted him to be * delegate at large to. the natkmtl con ventloc.

Five Years of Heart Troths Curod by Dr. MiW Heart Remedy •*Before I began taking Df. Miles' Heart Remedy I had been suffering from heart trouble for over five years. I had paint in my left aide, and under my shoulder blade, could not sleep on the left side, and was to short of breath the least exertion would bring on the most distressing palpitation. I had scarcely taken a half bottle of the Heart Remedy before I could s< marked change in my condition. When I had taken six bottles I was cured.” MRS. C C. GORKEY, Northfield, Va. If there is fluttering or palpitation it is an indication pf a weakness of the nerves and muscles of the heart. It is not necessarily diseased—just weak from over-work. The heart may be weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. You can make a weak heart strong by taking Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy. Get a bottle from your druggist, take it according to directions, and if it docs not benefit he will return your money.

The gamblers bad large amounts Incited. ran some of the most notorious Joints around New York, wen itrenched In power and controlled politics.

But that waa not Port's way.

Just there occurred another indlent that showed the timbre of the The bishop's law was then Jvely Issue In Jersey politics. Thgt aw provides for the removal of winscreens and other obstructions to vision from all saloons and drinking plkcet on Sundays and election days. The liquor Interests, of course, ppoggd It. and the politicians advised Fort to sidestep the Issoe or gi ight on iu indorsement, but tbat again waa not his way. He came out flatfootedly for the law and made It me of the chief issues of bis cam-

■tga.

And he meant It He proved that after he waa elected go verier. Allan He City found it out In a rather Jarring manner. There Sunday closing Joke, or waa till Fort told them that if they did not obey tbe law he woould call an extra session of tbe legislature and aee what could fie done absut It. Then Atlantic Cily awakened to the quality of the man.' Long Branch had done before, and for tbe first time in her history acually closed her saloons on Sunday. The natives have not got over the wonder of tbe thing to this day. More Than a Party Man. Thgt Fort has a real spinal cot imn In place of tbe cartilage that too often does services for that Important organ is revealed by v other incidents of his career—for example, fight against the bosses of bis own party to bring about a better financial system for Newark or his opposing the wishes ot thd pollticli Jy Inaugurating civil service in the Manhood transcends partlaaclam. Courage and conviction are higher than politics. Governor Port Is a psrty van. but he is more- He Is loyal to tbe organisation, but doss nol

Trenton now. And that recalls re* Bore this digressive aide path to Governor Fort, for that la Just whst Fort has to do. Tall and Hsndaoma. I found ths governor about handsomest man I bare rut against since tbe days when I to play chasa with Charlie Magoon la Lincoln. Magoon wore bat sren In those days, as though he had a prophetic hunch that he wi be his excellency of Panama and Cuba some day. I think Fort has even over Magoon In tbe matter looks Indeed, In a Job lot of governjts be would have all the rest look lag like cheap Imitations. He Is tall. not too tall, fleshy, but not too fleshy; youthful looking for his year* and yet redeemed from a loo adolea oent appearance by an Iron gray close cropped mustache. Hit photo graphs are like him and yet fall to reveal the fine lines of hla face. If I were ordering a governor to fm the Ideal specifications at every point 1 do not see how I could murti Improve on Fort. Truer be has not the t »• a be rant whiskers of Hughes, but fee that I can forgive blm with my whole

heart.

My talk with Governor Fort w«s >t an Interview, but a chat I war.;1 to know the man, not to pump him or put words Into his mouth, l.e said one thing, however, that caught me. It expressed hla Jubilant faith

mandate from the people. To Fort Is aeemed a triumph of human he.: esty and popular government. He favored election of senators by the people. He believed, with De Tocquevlllc. that the cure for the evils of democracy fa more democracy. Put their honor. The masses wn their capacity for orderly vovernment. Trust them. These are Indications of whal he really did say. but he got my goat right here Indeed, he got It from his first traflk look and hearty word. My heart I not a partisan, and it always dli

like real mem

Public Speaker Early in Life John Franklin Fort was born i 1852. when hla uncle was gorerr'., i He comes from an old stock, ihei< being In the family an old oak trank, dated "Roger Fort. IMS." It is plain that trunk was never subjected tbe mercies of the modern bagsai smasher. Young Fort graduated fron. Pennington aemlnary and In landed to eater college, but financial reverses prevented. He taught instead then went to Albany Law
