JUDGE GARRISON delivered an energetic
charge to the Camden grand jury last
Tuesday. After telling it to investigate
an alleged murder, the Judge said "The
Prosecutor informs me that there are
large number of cases of minor degree,
but they are of real importance. They
cover gambling by means of policy SELL
ing, and also a number of violations of
the law by selling. liquor on Sunday.
You are not here to make laws, but to en-
force them. 1t is not for you to consider
whether the laws are just or not. The
law prohibits policy selling and liquor
selling on Sunday. Upon your actions
depend considerable Your actions are
far-reaching and have great influence on
others. Every man has something of the
element of coward and something oil
a hypocrjte in him. This is true of the
members of the Legislature. There are
many of them who will vote for laws
that are unjust in order to gain power
and depend upon corrupt officials not te
enforce them. If you want to break w
this business, enforce the laws, and the
men who are sent to the legislative hall,
will then only pass laws that they intenc
shall be enforced"

AT the top of this page next week we
shall have the name of the Republican
candidate for Governor, and of the rnan
whom we expect to elect as chief executive
of the state for the next three years.
Thursdays convention will be lively
gathering, and its conclusions cannot be
foreshadowed, notwithstanding the news
paper reports to the contrary. The con-
test will probably be narrowed down to
two candidates, Kean and Griggs, and the
latter Is by no means in the rear. The
election for delegates in Elizabeth, Kean's
own city, resulted dsastrously to the
latter, as he only got two out of Is. The
state convention will be composed of the
best element of New Jersey Republicans,
and it is hoped they will make no mis-
take in their choice.

tainly made bad break when he gave out
declarations purportlng to show the atti-

stirred up great Indignation against Lentz

Dress Goods the Dry Goods
Test-There are few really
great retail Dry Goods stores
in the world. Paris has two,
possibly three. London has
none that will compare favor
ably with those in Paris. The
ideal store has not appeared
in New York.
Philadelphia has Wanna

seals this as the great success
in American retailing. We &C
cept the verdict and justify it
by appeal to the perennial
stock of Dress Goods.
Years ago we made the stan
dard: The most complete

No variation, no declenslon in
quantity, or variety, has since
been tolerated. The collection
is always unique perfection.

most important industrial events in the
history of the South. Congress has ap.
propriated $25O,OOO for a Government
building and exhibit, while the legisla-
lures and leading commercial bodies of all
the Southern States, as well as many of
those in the North, have arranged for ex-
tensive representation. More remarkable
even than the local and National interest
in the Exposition is the attention that it
has attracted in foreign countries. Not

American republics making large and
varied show, but also number of the

AFTER three futile attempts to take the
America cup from us the yacht that came
from the other side has given up and will
be taken back to England. At no time
did the English boat give any evidence
of being equal to the American yacht.
The result of the contest is not salts
factory to either side, Americans being
disguised with the foreign sportsman,
who certainly did not conduct himself in
a manner to gain many friends. and the
English people are dissatisfied because
they claim their boat was unfairly treat
ed, although they frankly admit that the
American boat was the better craft. The
results of last week will possibly put
stop to international racing for some time,
but this will cause little regret in view of
last weeks contests.

AS to that dead Beat
Board"

EDITOR News: will you please
publish this in the News for the
benefit OF the people In Lawrence
county who have read an article in
last weeks Picket about the State
Board Of Equalization, which they
copied from the Republican BaI-
ner. That Article is the rottsnest
Republican campaign lie that has
been published in Kenu Ky The
man who wrote II is All ignoramus
or a professional political liar.
A D,mocra. presented a bill in
the last Legislature TO destroy tht
Board and s, me hnne,t Republic
cans helped defeat The hill and keep
the Board
was one Of hestcrelafics Of the
Board this year and heard mort OF
the counties committees l,llthelr
tales of woe and make their speech,
es. All the committees who tx
pressed themselves said they were
satisfied that their county would
get justice.
The Committee from one county
stated on oath thatthey listed their
property at only so per cent. Of its
value when the law requires 100
per cent. Several counties admit
ed to the Board that the property
in their counties was not listed as
high as it should have been. Any
man who will try to, can easily
understand that the State Board
did not do an arbitrary act, and
there wasn't one committee that
complained Of the Boards decision
in regard to its county.
1t isn't the counties that want
justice that do the kicking on the
State Board, but the counties that
list their property away below cash
value, and know that they ge; jus.
tice they will also get raise.
This IA cent raise" in Mercer
county should have been IA per
cent, but is as near the truth as the
rest Of il.
The campaign excuses that the
Democrats are giving are not 10
per cent Of the campaign lies the
Republicans are springing.
Each newspaper in the State will
soon receive a copy Of the work
done BIZ this Board, but it remains
to be seen whether any paper will
correct the lies it has started oil
kept going.
