Tsbze MoarrHS, l J so WILSON AND THE GOVERNOR SHIP. The following press dispatch was sent out from Seagrlt, N. J., Monday afternoon: "Governor Wilson returned to-day from a visit to the home of a friend near Seagrlt and an nounced that he would forego his weekly trip to Trenton, and again go Into seclusion to-morrow to write his speceh of ac ceptance. Governor Wilson hopes to write the speech within two . or three days. The Governor's friends announced to-day, but only on condlton that their names would not be used, that ' Wilson had decided definitely not to resign the Governorship during the Presidential cam paign." It seems since the Governor failed to secure a pension from Mr. Car gie that he is determined to get a pen sion from New Jersey's State treas ury. Since his nomination for Presi dent he has been making a visit to the State Capitol only once a week, and this week will not go at all! At this distance it appears that Gover nor Wilson should give the Gover nor's office some little attention, or; that he should resign. Governor Wilson probably has two reasons for not resigning. He tells his Democratic friends that if he re signs the State of New Jersey will have a Republican Governor, as the Lieutenant-Governor is a Republi can, but it is very probable that his strongest reason for not wanting to resign is the fact it would separate him from his monthly pay check. However, the Governor is due it to the tax-payers of New Jersey to at tend to the matters of State or send in his resignation. COMPLICATIONS OF THE POLITI CAL SITUATION. The Philadelphia North American has a most interesting editorial onin offief 5ome Qf them for Hf We the complications that confront those need a simple recall method that will who repudiate the stolen nomination be effective. for Mr. Taft and who want to vote for Roosevelt, the people's choice. The North American is one of the oldest Republican papers in this country, it was one oi iu iuut iu- fluential papers to support the move-' ment to organize the Republican party, when the old Whig party no I . J il. :a . r tuugei jcpicBcuieu me mieresui ui justice and humanity. The editorial begins as follows: "A wag, in discussing the present political situation, said the Progressives had a menag erie on their hands, but had no canvas to show under. While we would not thus illustrate the- existing political economic crisis, we must admit that polit ical conditions appear to justi fy the joking figure of speech. "But, as paradoxical as it may seem, what appears to be a weakness in the Progressive bat tle is really its greatest source of strength. It arises from the clash of opinions deeply rooted in the very fundamentals of Pro- gressiveism, the only controversy ' among the Progressives being as how best to make effective the policies on which there is little or no divergence of opinion." The North American then proceeds to review the conditions that exist in the different states, and says: "One thing is certain. And that is that no one rule can be laid down which will do justice and at the same time yield the best practical results to the Pro gressives of all the different states." That paper then goes on to show that it is not necessary to organize a new party where the Republican state organization represents the will of ie people and repudiates the fraud nd theft perpetrated by the monop- oly agents and Tory bosses at Chi cago. Continuing that paper says: "So much for the politically practical phase. Colonel Roose velt, who understands the polit ical complications which the Progressives are obliged to con tend against, lays down one rule founded on moral principles, which he holds should be ad hered to in all states. "Mr. , Roosevelt's contention now is entirely consistent with his course at Chicago standing r I squarely upon the proposition that fraud Titlated for Mr. Taft al moral and legal claim to the nomination. "That being the case, the Colonel contends, Mr. Taffs stolen status must not, under any contingency, be recognized." The North American then says that it will be a good thing to have one or more new party movement when ever necessary to express the will of the people, aa was necessary to elect Lincoln. The editorial concludes as follows: "When Fremont was nominat ed for the presidency in 1856, there were several distinct par ties In Pennsylvania which fun damentally rested on the same principle. The Pennsylvania delegates who voted for Fremont in the same Republican conven tion were sent there by the Peo ple's party, and not by the Re publican party. "The Fremont campaign was carried on through scores of dif ferent party organizations throughout the country, with a wide diversity of party names. Not until 1860, four years later, was it generally believed that the title 'National Republican would be the name under which the diversity of parties working for the same end would be gath ered. And it was not until 1864 that all these forces were united in a uniform party organization and under the same party name. "History is bound to repeat it self with relation to the present movement. No one can predict with any certainty under what title the Progressive forces will ultimately make their decisive fight. And it is really the least important question before the Progressives. It is important, however, that in states where the Progressives have gained control. by years of unceasing battle, there should be every ef fort made consistent with moral principle to conserve for the Progressive cause the power that has already been won." A RECALL THAT WILL RECALL. There is nothing new about the principle of the recall. It is now in the constitution of the United States and the constitution of every state in the Union. Congress is now trying to recall a Federal Judge by the method of im peachment. Nine times before Con gress has tried to recall a judge or other Federal civil officer, but has each time failed. Thus unworthy men have been permitted to remain We need a recall that will recall. WEST VIRGINIA FOR ROOSEVELT. j Governor Glasscock, of West Vir- ginia has declared that the Pr0gres- give Republicans are in control of the Republican party in his state and that therefore it is not necessary to organize a new Progressive party there. He says that his state is for Roosevelt as the true Republican candidate for President and that there will be no Taft electors in his state, unless some bolters from the Republican State Convention organize a Taft third party movement. The same thing will be true in this state, if the will of the people is expressed at the next Republican State Convention. MADE A JOB FOR HIM. The following is from the Kansas City Journal: "A political worker it was in the 'old' days went to a member of the. Legislature of his State and asked for a job as door-tender. " 'Find a door without a door tender and you can have it,' were the big man's instructions. "The worker looked around iur beverai uays ana men re ported. " 'I can't find a door without plenty of door-tenders.' " 'No door?' '"Nary door. Guess I'll go home.' " 'Wait a bit. You've been a good party worker. I'll have a door cut for you.' " The above is given space here be cause it is so applicable to Demo cratic good government in this State When the North Carolina Legisla ture meets the Democrats dish out the jobs to the faithful as long as the jobs last and they create more jobs until all of the very faithful have been rewarded for party work, at the expense of the tax-payers. "It is easy to understand why a Republican would want to vote . for Mr. Simmons and scratch the balance of the ticket."- Dur ham Herald, Dem. We thought we were a Republican, but .according to the Herald's way of reasoning, we don't "understand. Congressman Martin Littleton, of New York, wants the House and Sen ate to appoint a joint committee to study the trust question. Thus ad mitting that the Democratic poli ticians don't know anything about the trust question after all. WITH THE EDITORS.

MR. TAFT RECEIVES NEGRO DEL EGATION. Acknowledged His Debt of Gratitude to Xegro Delegates at Chicago Brownsville Affair and Lynching Discussed. Washington, D. C, July 1 Pres ident Taft in a speech in the East room of the White House to a dele gation from the National Civil and Political Negro League today public ly acknowledged hidebt of gratitude to the negro delegates to the Repub lican National Convention pledged and instructed for him who stood with the Taft forces through the fight.

The delegation presented resolu tions to the President asking for the restoration of the battalion of the 25th infantry that was involved in the Brownsville affair, and urging him to recommend a Federal statute against lynching. Mr. Taft said in reply that he had done everything possible under the law in regard to the 25th infantry. He deplored lynchings, he said, but did not be lieve that the United States govern ment could interfere in the State laws. "A man who has been engaged in a lynching within the Federal juris diction who comes up to me for exec utive clemency will have his petition received with that feeling on my part that there is no crime that ought to be more severely punished and more completely condemned." MANY SENATORIAL MISHAPS. Some Have Been Expelled While Oth ers Resigned to Escape the Axe. (Washington Dispatch to Baltimore Sun.) Since William Blount, of Tennes see, was expelled from the Senate, in July, 1796, for conspiracy against the Government in attempting to bring together certain Indians and British agents, many Senators of the United States have been called on to defend their titles to their seats. M ine most notaoie recent case wasi that Of John H. Mitchell, Of Oregon, who on January 17, 1905, arose int the Senate and addressed himself to the charges made against him that in 1902 he had conspired with Binger Merman, commissioner oi tne L.ana w -t - 1 -" 1 Office, to defraud the Government out! of public lands. During the trial it was brought out that Mr. Mitchell had received $2, 000 from S. A. D. Pullen in this con nection. Before the case came to a vote Mr. Mitchell resigned.

Polk and Garrett Davis, of Kentucky. The charge against Davis was that he bad written a letter containing this sentence: "The people North ought to revolt against their war leaders and take this great matter into their own bands." Mr. Davis explained that he did not mean to Incite to Insurrection and the resolution to expel was with drawn. The vase of Alexander Caldwell of Kansas, in the Forty-second Con gress, was similar to the Lorimer case. It was charged that his elec- . . tion was tainted with bribery ana Senate was proceeding to unseat circa I'f.v when he resigned. ' In 1873 a committee which had In vestigated charges against Senator James W. Patterson, of New Hamp shire, reported in favor of his ex pulsion. The resolution was not act ed upon. A case charging misuse of his of fice was brought against James F. Simmons, a Senator from Rhode Is land, in 1862, but no action was tak en before adjournment, and Sim mons resigned before the next session convened. Thinks Hryan Spoiled the Pie. South port News. " I iws peaking to a friend of the support which Speaker Clark had strangely drawn from known reac tionary sources, Colonel Bryan saked: "What is the value of Mr. Murphy's support, if that support is necessary to a nomination? Is it not the value of the nomination itself? And would not a President be very ungratfeul If, j after receiving the highest honor In ; the gift of the pe0ple in the world, he j should turn a deaf ear to one without whose ald hs elevation would have been impossible?" ! Would Mr. Bryan have us think Ifhnt Uon Tammanv ennnrtoH Y,m n Denver in 1908. and reallv caused his nomination, that he would have "turned a deaf ear" to the wishes of Charles F. Murphy had he been elect- Pf? Was Bryan's idea of honor such as to betray his State into swinging her vote over to Wilson and so cause a stampede to him? Champ Clark was Nebraska's candidate, and Mr. Bryan was instructed to vote for him. Already the effect of the treachery to the Democratic party is bearing fruit. ESenator Pettierew. of South Dakota, is one of a dozen orominent men who are so disgusted with a party which is still under the thumb of a man who has three times led to it to defeat, that they have left the ( party and win support the third par tv. CamD Clark has manv loval fiends who see in Bryan's actions a ; well laid plan. The end is not yet. Progressive Party Stirs Connecticut wartrora, July 19.
