OUR TRENTON LETTER. YIEWS OF FREUN6BUYSEN. Senior Frelingboystn who vill So Senate President, Probable fiaberiatorial Candidate The certainty that Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, of Somerset County, will be oontinaed |as the President of the State Senate when the incoming Legislature organizes, by virtue of which office he will serve aa Acting Governor of New Jersey in case Governor Fort is abeent from the state for any considerable period of time during the coming year, makes the former's views concerning the important questions of statecraft of importance to the people aside from the fact that he also is a prospective candidate for the next Republican Gubernatorial nomination. As President of the ^Senate Mr. Frelingbuysen may not only be required to aerve temporarily as Acting Governor, but should the office of chief executive become vacant by death or otherwise the duties of office would fall upon him to perform until the second week in January, 1911, when the candidate elected next fall will be inaugurated. Id this respect Mr. Frelinghuysen's attitude towards questions upon which their is a difference of opinioo among political leaders are much of pertinence irrespective of his ambition to be a regular candidate for the Governorship. This situation has been accentuated recently by the lively discussion following former Governor Murphy's declaration that be favors the repeal of direct primary law, is opposed to the popular election of United States Senators, has doubts about the value of the Civil Service law and believes that every man occupying a public office— from the judiciary down to the most minor official jobs— should contribute to campaign funds of the political parties with which they are identified. As Mr. Murphy is chairman of the Republican State Committee, there has been much interest in ascertainng^the views of the men who are considered aspirants for the Gubernatorial nomination to be made next fall. Discussing the so-called "political creed" of Mr. Murphy, Senator Frelinghuyaen says: "I opposed the direct primary law in the Senate tecause 1 believed the people of my county did not want it, as I wai convinced a large number preferred the convention and township meeting plan. However, the law wa* passed and until opposition to it takes concrete form, and makes it apparent

(hat a majority demand its repeal, it should remain in force. In m > opinion it has much merit and should belgivea a fair trial. "In reference to enforced • campaign contributions, all who hold office solely by reason of the success of their party are, so far as I can see, " always ready to show their appreciation in supporting the party by conI tributing to its expenses. I oppose the laying down of any arbitrary rule wnich could in any way be construed as making it obligatory on them to con tribute. I believe it would be a serious mistake to have it uoderstood that . judges should make contributions to the I party in control at the time of their , appointment. I believe the impartial . aud unblemished standard which prej vails in this State would be impaired if r they were expected to mage contribut lions. The judiciary should be above . politics and th e bench should be free , from even a suspicion of political in- , fiuence. As for civil service, I am I opposed to its repeal. It is a wiee law, , and is, and will be, of great benefit to , the public I have seen no clear sign t that the people favor its repeal. "As for the electiofi of United States Senators directly by the people I will favor whatever the people want The opportunity which the voters will have ' next year will indicate to what extent they take » direct and personal inter- ! est in the matter. Until 1 see the re1 suit of 6ucli expression I will reserve ( n»y judgment, as I believe that great caution should be exercised before we depart from the method of selection ( which was created through the wisdom of the writers of the constitution and ' the founders of the republic " GOOD NEWS. ■ Many Cape May Readers Have Heard It and Profited Thereby.

This will 'be the prineipal and most important use of the waterway. The resorts are distant from the farms and generally separated from them by wide stretches of morass. With the improved means of reaching a market for produce, agriculture will be greatly encouraged, and, as land in the regions through which .the waterway passes is very cheap, many laborers In the city who have knowledge of husbandry will Jbe induced to acquire small farms and raise truck for the market. As the newly organized company is to act as a purchasing agent, the settlers can sell their produce on their farms or by delivery at the nearest point on the waterway."— > , Newa'k Star.

Therefore, if a resident of Hudson. Essex or Mercer went hunting in one of the South Jersey counties and desired to cross over to ' Philadelphia in order to take a late train to his home, he could not carry with him into Pennsylvania and back into New Jersey tbe birds and rabbits he had killed ; and a Mercer or Burington county hunter would be similarly handicapped after a gunning trip in Hunterdon, if he desired to come home trolley.
