After convicting Senator Quay of about
every known crime against the people,
John Wanamaker's latest assault on the
"Old Man" of Pennsylvania is that he
didn't write the only speech he ever made
in the Senate. There is an impression
abroad that the "Old Man" of Pennsylva-
mia has prototype here in New Jersey. In
defence of the Old Man" of Pa. and N.
j., it may be said, however, that their
method of operation is along the lines Of
Addition, Division and Silence, rather than
speech making.

An observing citizen, in communication
published on another page, breaches the
question of Greater Woodbury. in spirit
of fairness to city tax payers. There is no
question that residents on our borders reap
the benefits of schools, lights, fire protect
ion and water, all expensive adjuncts Of
our city government, without contributing
to their maintenance. Not from any fault
of theirs, but because the city has out
grown her original limits. We believe that
public sentiment would readily cristalize
and support movement TO create Greater
Woodbury..

The Democrats in Congress are ready to
vote the government all the money that
will be needed to thoroughly thrash Spain,
even to the extent of an issue Of from
100000, 900 to $500 100000 in coin bonds
but they have made it plain to the schem-
ers who have been sounding Congress on
the subject that even if every gun owned
by Spain were trained upon the Capitol
building, in easy range. they would refuse
to vote for the issue of one single gold
bond. Their position on this question, in
which they are supported by all the Popu
lists and considerable number of Republic
cans, stopped all talk about the issue of
gold bonds, and the bill that will be re-
ported from the Ways and Means Com
mittee to the House. as soon as the actual
fighting begins. win provide for 8 per cent
