! DR. WILSON AND ' THE CONSTITUTION j The President of Princeton University, who is now also the Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey, is ae- '• j claimed by his friends and supporters ' j as pre-eminently a student of the j science of government and as a supreme 1 j authority upon public affairs. It would ! be folly to. challenge his scholarship or I to deny that he has in recent years de- < voted many utterances to discussion of 1 civic interests. But .these facts cause us - to regard with the more surprise one of ' the most recent utterances authorita- < lively imputed to him. i In "The Newark Star," a paper owned 1 James Smith, Jr., which might al- < most be regarded as his representative 1 organ, so intimately are it and its pro prietor associated with his candidacy, 1 find Dr. Wilson reported as saying: f "I would put in the power of the c prosecuting attorney, the privilege of al- c tering indictments to include officials j who crawl to oover and might be located a were the laws of evidence more clastic." j If those words mean anything — J Or. Wilton is not given to speaking idle ' words, they certainly seem tc mean that a prosecuting attorney should be empow- 1 ered at will to include in an indictment J persons whom the grand jury, which e the indictment did not thus in- " elude. Thus, if the grand jury indicted 1 Smith, the District Attorney might in- ^ dude Jones and Robinson in the same " indictment, although the grand jury had '' and refused to do so. n The fifth amendment to the Constitu- ° tion of the United States, forming a pifrt n of the commonly called Bill of Rights, e regulating the exercise of federal L authority, provides: ti "No person snail be held to answer for ® a capita] or otherwise infamous crime,

unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury." * The Constitution of the State of New " Jersey, regulating the exercise of state r authority, in Article 1, Section 8, pro1 .Ida. "No person shall be held to answer lor a criminal offence, unless on the presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases of impeachment or in cases cognizable by justices of the 1 peace, or arising in the army or navy, or in the militia, when in actual service I ' in time of war or public danger." Without conceding precedence to any one in New Jersey over Dr. Wilson in r scholarly familiarity with these two in- | strumcnts, we cannot repress a feeling of euriosity concerning his harmonizing of his own words with the sections which we have quoted. It is obvious that the , offences which he had in mind as de- i munding punishment were not such as were to be dealt with by impeachment ' j or by a justice of the peace, or such as j j had arisen in the military services? In- ■ ' deed, a conspiracy against the laws of i I tlie United States might well be regarded ] as an infamouB crime. It is difficult to j I escape the conclusion, therefore, that Dr. i ' | Wilson wouid have persons held to an- I swer for serious criminal offences with- ! ' j out presentation or indictment by a i . grand jury, contrary to the explicit i provisions of the constitution of the I State of New Jersey and the United States of America. We would add that thus to empower a Attorney, who is often an ' intense partisan, to arrogate to himself the functions of a grand jury and to place under indictment at his personal ' 1 discretion and pleasure any captives of ' his individual dragnet, would be a re- ' | vival of the "lettre de cachet" system to which the citizens of New Jersey would not give their approval.

■SKETCH OF REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR Trenton, Sept. 2L— Vivian M. Lewis, who was nominated for Governor at the State Republican Convention in Trenton, was born in Paterson, June 8, 1609. He is accordingly the youngest "mini., sioner of banking and insurance the i State has ever had, just ss he was the 1 youngest Chancery Clerk. His military i was begun in 1896 and 1897, when . served as judge advocate of the <^| j Seventh Regiment of the NatioflP i Guard. He was retired with the rank t of captain when the guard was reorgan i 'red. Many of his Paterson friends call l "captain" now, but the title i doesn't follow him to Trenton very I welL j I In his younger days Mr. Lewis was a i man, having entered that pro- i soon after leaving school. He ] served for a time as the representative j of the Associated Press and was also I correspondent for several New York < papers. Later he studied law, i and in 1898 was elected to the Assembly. | was re-elected the two following i and in 1900 was floor leader for ( the the majority. . Retiring from the Legislature Mr. c devoted more time to his law practice. For several years he was counsel for the State Board of Health \ and in 1904 waa chosen city counsel for 1 He resigned a year later to ( clerk in Chancery by appoint- f ment of Governor Murphy, that office a been made vacant by the resig ) nation of Edward C. Stokes, who received the Republican Gubernatorial d nomination. When Mr. Stokes was o elected Governor he reappointed Mr. ii for the full term and the nomina- e was promptly confirmed by the b r Mr. Lewis continued to serve in the p I Chancery office, making new friends in .

all parts of the State and attracting i P much attention among lawyers because e of his business-like administration, un- . til April of 19(»9, when Governor Fort appointed him as head of the State Der partment of Banking and Insurance. The . s Governor had another man picked for ( I the place bnt the bankers of the State i . objected, and the appointment was not I . made. It was then suggested that Mr. i Lewis be named. The bankers were I , satisfied and his appointment was made, | to the great surprise of everybody ex- I , cept a very few in the innermost circles. ' , Commissioner I-ewis' term has been 1 . marked by several innovations. For in- I r stance, he adopted the plan of putting 1 f I out quarterly statements. He adds to I , them the totals of other statements, < . making comparisons. Then again, he i . iias adopted the plan of making recom- j | , i mendations in his annual reports. In j I . j the last annual report he intimated that j t , it was bad business policy for the banks i I . j to pay ruinous rates of interest in order ( r ; to attract deposits. The blinkers took j I ' the hint, and since then there has been 1 , less "bidding" and more stability in this j ] ..respect. 1 - I s | ( : 1 I COTTAGES SOLD BY 1 f AGENT FENDERSON j , | j Several cottages have been sold since [ I , the season closed.

CONGRESSMAN GARDNER Congressman John J. Gardner has a J - record in the public service which few public men over attain. He has proven ■ his ability in every public office he ever j held. He has served his- country and his constituency faithfully and honorably. It is idle to say that he has not an ardent and successful champion of labor interests. His record proves different. He is himself a veteran of I |he Civil War and it is foolish to assert that he has not exerted himself to I the limit for the benefit of the old soldier. His reoord proves the eontrery. He waa a strong factor in the i securing of a postal savings bank law. i He was a great figure in securing the i Cape May harbor appropriation and hit i vote has been recorded for every good 1 measure which has passed the Congress, i He has been a trusted aid-to one of the t greatest presidents the country ever 1 William Howard Toft, and has ] supported his policies effectively. it | would be a mistake at this time to dis- i pouss with Congress man Gardner's ser- < vices. His great experience and his na- c tional reputation and standing are too valuable to this district and to the country to lose. I The Gazette firmly believes that it I will be for the best interests of Cape I May County to re-elect Assemblyman F Christopher Hand and to plaee in the 1 office the regularly honestly c and fairly nominated candidate, Walter • Homan. ' J It is not the purpose of this paper t during the present campaign to abuse B ratify the candidates of the oppos- k party, nor wouid we permit it in our t columns over the signature of others, 1we insist that there is no valid P reason existing today why a single Re b publican in this whole county should « cast hi) vole for either Mr R lof-kvrll 0 vote for BJackwell

or Mr. Melvin. They represent the Democratic party, they would if elected use their offices for tfe benefit of that party, • and after election would laugh at Re- 1 publicans who had been so short-sighted - as to put them in power. ; While it may be that when frauds rampant in primary elections mem bers of a party may feel that they have I an excuse for refusing to accept the result as final, but in the present campaign not a shadow of suspicion of unfairness can be charged. The primaries < open and every man and candidate i his chance, and the voters decided, J good majorities that they wanted i and Homan on their ticket. Had i the result been reversed you would to- t day find both of these gentlemen working l for the ticket, regardless of their own ! personal defeat. This being true, they I the right to ask the same loyal ( j support from their late antagonist, and |( j from every good Republican in the | As was very tersely said last week ■ 1 our contemporary, the "Star," the I ^ plea that the Sheriff's office is not a | ( ■ political one would very quickly be for- j gotten by our Democratic friends an j f hour after their candidate received his | i certificate of election. Don't commit an I f j error, fellow Republicans. Get busy in j ] of pour party's chosen candi- : , . dates.— Cape May County Gazette. | j Looking over an abstract of the j ^ things Hon.

WALTER M. H OMAN'S CANDIDACY To refuse to support Walter M. Homan for Sheriff because be has not , been known in public office before is , equivalent to saying to every man, no matter how worthy, that he cannot hope for preferment at the hands of his fel low citizens unless he is an old stager whoee business has been holding offices. Homan has won by bis own -nsitltil efforts, a standing in the community which entitles him to consideration. He carried on successfully business of various kinds, which involved the bandling of Urge sums of money and required the keeping of numerous accounts accurately. He aspires to the honor of serving hU county as Sheriff and be stepe out from the ranks and says so. presents his claims to the people and they sanction his ambition by their votes at a direct primary at which all untrammelled freedom of choioe. No candidate ever came before the people more naturally or more squarely and no candidate ever bad a better cUim to the support of every Republiand every good citizen. AS TO HIGH PRICES Up to I860 and perhaps longer the priee of granulated sugar was 12 cents ! pound or more, flour was $11 per sirloin steak 26 to 28 cents per ' pound and other beef in proportion. eoffees, spices and many other ' edibles much higher than now. Cloth- 1 ing was neither so cheap nor so good. ' Cleveland's election in 1892 there 1 began a great stump in prices of things, ' simply because factories had shut down, ' of all kinds was placed upon the most economical basis, there was I work and little money. The comparisons in the matter of prices are 1 based upon the CleveUnd era, but in • order to have prices of that kind you've •

1 got to have times of that kind and it - you have times of that kind there will e be no money in the hands of the aver- -, age person to buy the low prioed things. . Compared with the prices of prosperous 1 eras in the history of the country present day prices are not high but low. | ■ As far back as 1874 when wheat was a staple crop in this county, it brought t $1.80 per bushel F. O. B. any local station. b Wheat is now quoting at 97c to $1.02. - Work for which men averaged $40 per ■ month in the 70's and 80's is today i drawing $70 to $80 per month. Men » occupying the same relative position in I, community in an economic sense 1 in those days, as many of those enjoying 1 automobiles do today, would have hesi- - tated before parting with sufficient > to purchase a wheelbarrow. A Trenton exchange has the following ' j true remarks about the Democratic can- ' didato for Governor: ' "A North Jersey paper which, for years, has been laboring without success : to accomplish Republican defeat, says ' j that Dr. Wilson has been chosen for his 1 j fitness for tlie position of Cliief Execu tive of a gteat State. Just what con- ' ! stitutes thiV peculiar 'fitness' Is now ' somewhat in doubt. Dr. Wilson is un1 ! questionably a gentleman of much 1 I but what there has been in his ' ) training or experience to specially Tit' I for the ofi'ee of Governor over more j deserving Democrats of high standing ■ we fail to see. He was born in the j i South, is in every sense an aristocrat, 1 | and since coining to Princeton has de- '! voted himself to university affairs. | ! Theoretically, of course, he knows all , j about government affairs, and in theory, j perhaps would do as well as President as he would as Governor. But what ' does he know about the needs of New ' j Jersey 1 He has never mixed with its ' I people, much less with the Democratic i party. He probably never would have I a resident of New Jersey had he I not been called to Princeton. Why j then, is he so peculiarly 'fitted' for the ; place for which he has been named ?" — i Mt. Holly News. 1 | "Direct nominations of the genuine , i is what the voters of New Y'ork . ] will demand this year. They look to the , Republican party to give them real di- ^ rect nominations." — New York Press. , i "What evidence is there of that? [ a few political dancing der- , I visbes shriek that the people are wild j for direct primaries doesn't make it so. j Where do they derive their authority , to speak for the people. What creden- 1 j tials do they hold for acting as the pub- 1 mouth piece. Is it hypnotism or ■ hysteria or what that explains the ■ acceptance of a handful of mouthy polit- i icians with axes to grind at their own ] modest estimate of themselves as t oracles." — Long Branch Record • • • • | | The prevalence of infantile paralysis [ the cities is causing many to seek im- t munity by removing to the seashore. c

' CITY COUNCIL WILL ; RAZE OLD TANKS ■ THE LARGE IRON TANK TO BE r PLACED IN COMMISSION Action Takes is yr-r- to Many Complaints of the Tax Payers, and | High Pressure is to be Restored. The regular monthly meeting of City Council was held on Tueeday evening ' last, and the following business was transacted : 5 A communication was received from ' ' the Atlantic Rairoadl which seated that they would miintain an express train Council refunded money to the Went- ^ set estate which was collected as water [ rent from an unoocupied property. The bond of Peter Berger for tapping the sewer was accepted. The committee on streets reported the completion of work on Yacht Ave. : Resolutions were placed before Council ! requesting that body to endeavor to , in Philadelphia at 830 A. M., to take , effect next summer, which was passed A motion was placed on the books to order the big tank put in use and to the wooden tanks removed, this is the result of many complaints of not sufficient water pressure and will undouteblv be greatly appreciated by many property owners. Tbe uniformed city employees were granted their usual vacations. Two city notes for $5000 were renewed, also two for $10,000 and a new was issued for $5000 to meet current

t All bills were < rdered paid when funds j were sufficient. K. 2. GRAVr£ BUYS VALUABLE PROPERTY Mr. N. Z. Graves has purchased the k property at the corner of Decatur and t Washington streets owned by the Cape May Real Estate Company and used by them for office purposes. The price is r said to have been $15,000. It is one of . t he most valuable properties in tbe busj ness section of the city and will no doubt be greatly improved. The office , of the Cape May Real Estate Company , may be established on the new Cape May tract, t Dr. Wilson is an aristocrat. He never worked with his hands and he : came from an ancestry that had slaves to do their bidding. He has no sym pathy with the working people, and he has shown this in his literary publics- ' tions. We balrfve that it waa Job who said: "Oh, that mine enemy would 1 write a book/' Dr. Wilson has written a lot of books, deep works of learning and science, ideels and theories, and these are his record. His attitude throughout has been one of hostility 1 against labor, and especially against 1 labor union organizations. He regards' aman who works for wages as simply part of a machine, a commodity, to be • considered only at its market value, to be bought for the lowest price possible. In Dr. Wilson's mind, organization is only proper among capitalists and big corporations. Working people are of a lower class of human beings is the expressed opinion of Dr. Wilson, and have no such rights and privileges. — Paterson Call. The signs are encouraging for Republican success in New Jersey at the coming election. The ranks are being closed up. Tbe hopefulness and boasting of the Democracy is like s dash of cold water in the faces of the clashing factions of Republicanism. When the enemy is at the walls is no time for quarreling in the citadel." Man the battlements!" is the cry, which shofald be responded to by "regular" and "progressive" alike. We do not believe there will be any skulkers. Congressman Charles N. Fowler was defeated for renomination and for preference in tbe Senatorial fight, but he is not sulking. He wotinHs the right note. "I am a Republican," he says, "and will work for the party's success." P. Martin, defeated "progres sive" candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, adhounces that he will work and vote for the election of Vivian Lewis, his successful rival. That's proper spirit. The Democracy cannot win New Jerif Republicans will be true to their principals. The differences between cerdivergent elements in the party be fought out later.
