Republicans and Trusts.


Republican Congressman Lorimer, of
Chicago, thinks that Republican denun'
citation of trusts in their State Conyen'
lions will not be enough to satisfy the
people that the party is in opposition to
their creation or bent on their sestric'
ton. lie doubts if even a plank in the
platform of their National Convention
next year will achieve that object.
1.-THE people, he says, "will ask why
we have not legislated, and why one
Republican Congress could not fad
time for such legislation in its three
sessions, and why another Republican
Congress has been in session six months
without doing anything" The Chica-
go Tribune is disposed to agree with
the Congressman as regards the present
Congress, in any event. The Repub-
licans, it calls to mind, will be in the
majority in the Senate and in the House,
and it declares further that they should
either take steps to cure the defects in
the present national Antitrust law or
show to the satisfaction of the public
that those defects cannot be remedied
except by a constitutional amendment
giving Congress greater powers than it
has now. This is putting the subject
in a more practical form than we have
previously found it, aud it is an indica-
ton that there is considerable feeling
on the trust question in the western
section of our country.

Died at 1O3,

Mrs. Miriam Barber, died at her
home at Almonesson on Thursday of
last week, aged 1903 years. She was
born August 20, 1895, in the vicinity
of Oldmans Creek, Salem County, and
was first married to Augustus King by
who she had two children, both of
whom died.
In 1917 she married Edward Barber,
and had ten children, six of whom are
now living, Andrew j. Barber, Emaline
Eastlack, Adeline Eastlack, of Almon-
essen, and Mrs. Edith Carter, of Black
wood. Her husband died Oct. %, 1884,
in his Tooth year.
The deceased was probably the most
remarkable ~centenarian South Jersey
has ever known. AT 80 she was as sup.
pie as a person forty years her junior,
and cooked all meals and did all the
homework for a large family. At %
she was able to prepare meals and husk
corn, and on the celebration of her Tooth
anniversary she helped to prepare the
dinner for the 100 or more children,
grandchildren and great grandchildren
who had gathered to pay their respects
Shortly after this celebration Mrs, Bar
Der was deprived of her sight, which
affiiction preyed on her mind to such an
extent that her constitution began fail
ing, and this alone is assigned as the
cause of her life being shortened.
Until two weeks ago the deceased was
able to feed herself, but since then and
up to the time of her death she has been
taken care of by her grandchildren.
She had upwards of 40 grandchildren
20 great grandchildren and one great
great prandchild. Her mental facul-
ties were unimpaired, and up to the
time of her death she was not the least
childish.

New Jersey Counties


New Jersey was settled early in the
seventeenth century and during its first
hundred years it developed into nine
counties with boundary lines loosely
defined, and it wasnot until 1909, i'll the
beginning ofthe eighteenth century, that
an act was passed defining the boundaries
of the nine counties. These were Ber-
gen, Burlington, Cape May, Essex,
Gloucester, Middlesex, Monmouth,
Salem and Somerset,
During the eighteenth century four
more counties were set off. There were
Hunterdon from Burlington in 1713,
Morris from Hunterdon in 1873, Sussex
from Morris in 1863, and Cumberland,
from Salem in 1747.
Eight counties were created during
the nineteenth century, the first being
Warren, after the lines had remained
unaltered for seventy-seven years. 1t
was set off from Sussex in 1924,
Passaic came next, being set off from
Essex and Bergen in 1887. Atlantic
was set off from Gloucester in 1887,
Mercer from Hunterdon, Burlington
and Middlesex in 1888, Hudson from
Bergen in 1910, Camden from Glouces-
ter in 1914, Ocean from Monmouth in
1850 and Union from Essex in 1857.
During the last forty-two years num-
erous attempts have been made to set
off new counties, but seems to have be-
come a settled policy not to create any
more counties. Jersey City journal.

The Democratic State Committee
held a meetin., 1t Asbury Park on
Monday to discuss plans for reorganiz-
ing the party for next years Presiden-
tial campaign. Chairman Gourly sug-
gested that a committee OF five be ap-
pointed to prepare a plan for organic
ing every voting precinct in the State,
said plan to be submitted to the various
County Conventions this fall for their
action. 1t was adopted.
We believe this is a most excellent
suggestion and would lead to democrat
ic rule in the Democratic party. We
have attended conventions for about
fifteen years and there has been no uni
formity or rule in the organization.
We have noticed that when there
were loaves and fishes to be had that a
certain few usually nominate and elect
a chairman and then vote to give him
all the power to appoint committees
which he usually packs to his liking.
The delegates elected have no say and
find their time wasted in attending as
they have little voice or vote.
At other times when old rings are in
public disfavor and there is little chance
of any loaves and fishes to be caught
the delegates are given a say in the or
ganiZation and left to run things while
oil. leaders are not in sight and very
often in silent cahoots with the Repub.
licaDs.
The organization of the Republicans
have been far more democratic than
that of the Democrats which should
not be so. The new plan of State
Chairman Gourley should remedy this.
But the State committee should have
set a good example by its own actions
in accepting William f. Morgan as the
Committeeman from Burlington Coun.
ty to succeed A. E. Conrow who died.
MI. Morgan was the choice of the Bur
lington County central committee, but
the State Committee admitted L. G.
Budd who trains with the gold men.

About one month ago my child, which is
fifteen months old. had an attack of diar-
rhoea accompanied by vomiting. / gave it
such remedies as are usually given in such
cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for
a physician and it was under his care for a
week. AT this time the child has been sick
for about ten days and was having about
twenty-five operations of his bowels every
twelve hours, and we were convinced that
unless it soon obtained relief it would not
live. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
