Report TO the Board of Chosen


In the report of the proceedings of the
Board of Chosen Freeholders last week,
the report of the Committee under whose
supervision the Franklin township county
road was constructed was omitted. We
therefore give it space this week as fol-
lows -
TO the Hon. Board of Chosen FreehOlders Of
Gloucester County.
Your Committee appointed to look after
the construction of the Frank Invite gravel
road, beg to report that they have made
periodical inspection of the work during
its progress, and upon notice from the
Supervisor we again visited the road in 8
body on the 18th inst. We made twenty
careful measurements as to quantity of
gravel, and found an average depth of III
inches, while the contract called for only 4
inches in depth, or forty per cent. more
gravel on road than specified, and without
any extra cost TO the county. This was
done so that there could be no question as
to quantity of material in the future, and
to avoid any disagreeble criticisms and
scandals. The Committee is free to assert
and proud of the fact that they have the
cheapest county road now built in South
Jersey, only costing about twenty per cent
of the cost of our other county roads. We
will also predict that this road will be
more satisfactory for len months of zach
year. The total amount of contractors bill
was seven thousand, three hundred nine
dollars, and twenty-six cents, (7309 26)
This road, as with stone roads, will require
repairs, and we would most earnestly urge
that this Board take action neces
sary to secure some valuable gravel pit
near its line. All the bridges with one
exception have been recently rebuilt; all
the small ones have been replaced with
iron pipe which we fortunately secured
just before the rise of prices Of iron. We
are especially grateful to hear the favorable
comments from the travelling public and
the property owners along its line who will
be called upon to pay ten per cent. Of the
cost. There is not one advise criticism
from citizens, nor are there committees to
demonstrate against its acceptan,e e. Ia
view of these facts, and what we learned
by our personal inspection, we most cheer
fully recommend the acceptance of this
road at this time.
Yours truly,

Late sdvices do not bear out the state
ment so often made in official documents,
that PHILIPPINE private soldiers only partici-
pate in the war because they are afraid OF
their officers. Gen. Otis believed in that
theory once, but since he offered $40 cash
and personal immunity to every Filipino
soldier who surrendered a gun, he has
changed his mind. Only one Filipino
offered to take advantage Of that offer, and
before the money was paid to him it was
found out that he was acting in partnership
with one of our own soldiers, who had cap
tured the gun surrendered, and was trying
to secure some pocket money through the
credulity of General Otis. Speaking of the
Philippines, there is much talk in Washing
ton concerning the recent activity and dar-
ing of the Filipinos, who seemed to be able
to operate during the rainy season, even if
Gen. Otis cannot. Their attack on train
within thirty-fye miles of Manila was
certainly not the act of towards

The Constitution presumes on the ignor-
ance of it's readers when it undertakes to
screen the bosses vino debauched the
primaries behind candidate Stanger.
The people are making the pertinent in
quiry, what is there at stake, as between
Solomon Il. Stanger and George E Pier
son that a great corruption fund should be
used at the nominating election to nomin-
ate the one and defeat the other? What
good purpose is accomplished and what
principle vindicated Whose interest is at
stake that calls for the expenditures Of
sum ranging from So 900 to 5000 to
nominate a given candidate for legisla-
tive office? Not the farmers, not the work
ingmen NOT the taxpayers. None Of
these put their earnings in the hands Of
the bOOdlers to buy votes and maintain
speak easies. Did the State Board OF
Agriculture put up this sum to benefit the
farmers? did the glass blowers association
go into it's treasury for this sum? or did
Loudenslager, MOffett and Barber aud
those they represent?
And in a deal of this kind, where do the

The fact stands out clear amid all the
pomp and circumstances of war" and the
thunderOus shouts of the commercial pa
triots, that the American flag is used to
give self-government to the slsve-holding
and piratical Mohammedan despotism of
Sulu, and to deny self-government to the
higher order of the people of the Philippines
who are Christians and want free govern
ment, patterned after the American Re-

What would be the result to the Demo-
cratic party should it's leaders bribe it's
own voters TO vote for certain candidates
employ Republicans at bonus of $40 and
81 head for every Republican vote poIled
at the nomination of candidates, dispense
liquor by the wholesale, and debauch the
young men Of certain communities. There
simply wouldr't be man in the county SO
mean as to do it honor by sfiIiation with
it. The above, reversed ,is not fancy tale
but q true statement of what took place at
the late Republican primaries in certain
towns in this county. How proud the Re-
pubIicans ought to be of its machine.

The Gloucester County Republican
bosses. Loudenslager, Moffett and Barber,
are just laughing in their sleeves at their
success in the recent primary election, and
congratulatiDg themselves on their ability
to hoodwink the Republican voters. They
turn of statements of fact as to bribery Of
voters, employment of intoxicants ETC., as
slanderous attacks" and rely on the stale
old chestnut employed by ringsters of the
Quay order to drive honest voters back into
the harness. The honest Republicans Of this
county are no more counted in the present
calculations than the Filipinos, and the
machine is supreme.

Sulu Slavery. Polysamy and the
Constitution.
49, VEL. N.

From the Yale Review.
If we are to rule the Sulu archipelago
through the Sultan. why not rule Luzon
through Aguinaldo? His abilities have
been amply tested. In this matter we
find both example and warning in the
experience of England and Holland with
Malay dependencies. England in the Ma
lay peninsula has had a problem some
what similar to ours. but by policy of
Cancellation and concession to native feel
ings she has ruled through the native
princes for twenty-five years four protect
ed States. There has been only one brief
outbreak, and that was at the begin
ming. On the other hand, we learn some
thing of the heartbresking WEAKNESS Of
conquering Malsys and of making them
stay conquered from the contest of the
Dutch in Achin in Sumatra. The Dutch
undertook to conquer and annex the Aehi-
nese in 1873 Achin is less than half the
size of the single Island of Luzon, and its
population is about one quarter of that
of the Tagals alone. After four years
temporary paciication was secured; co.
900 Dutch soldiers had perished in the
field and hospitals and $8O,OOO,O00 had been
expended. But that was not the end. In
1881 the Achinese broke out again, and
eyer since there has been a wasting and
desultOry warfare. If such has been the
experience of an old colonizing Power fa-
miliar with the East for three enturies
why should we, as novices, be more sue
cessfnl in the same course of conquest
Our own ideals, humanity, the experience
of other Powers and the lesson of the last
months all unite to enjoin upon us to for
sake our present course and to make q fair
trial of the policy of conciliation and sym
pathy.

CLOTHING FOR MEN

We believe the present deluge of
advertis about clothes will help
US and yon One metaphorically
stands on a soap box and yells,
"Mine's bestl" Another, to fol-
low the simile, mounts : barrel and
says, mines best, tool"
Now, who is telling the exact
truth? We are not questioning any
ones candor-but facts are facts.
Can't be that all the clothing is best
for sight and feeling will convince
one that there are differences. The
$3.50 "hand-me-down, as sewed-
like-a-bag clothing is called, is not
tailored like $40 suit, no mat
ter who says SO. Our SIS suits are
better than our $40 ones; this ism t
an age of miracles. Not every suit
is tailored allke-some have the
shaping kneaded in with hand-taken
stitches; others are shaped on ma
chimes which, though cheapest work,
is claimed to be best, if honestly
done. And one of Philadelphia S
crack tailors makes the claim
Think it all over.
Risks are plenty; seeming guar
antees are plenty-but you are apt
to be met with ha ha if you take
the clothes back for redress.
There is one different, separate,
odd store-its clothing business will
increase 10 per cent this year. be-
cause it not only talks fair, but you
find it acting fair. And. proved in
wear and lasting good looks, our
clothing is cheapest.
Stylish business suits, fancy cass;-
mere-vest single or double breasted
-$8. so, $40 and $12-cheapest
are good, the others better.
SIS is the better price to pay for
suit for hard wear every day
work at desk or ofice-because
fabrics don t cost US much more
and we can afford to put in a
lot of work that tells in the
wear and continuedgood shape.
Remember, you get nothing for
nothing-it is the sellers game, and
ne knows. The best you can do is
to find store whose management
knows how, and does it, store that
is content with smallest profit on one
suit, for the sake of selling most
suits-and then hold to that store.
Suits up to $50.
Overcoats, $3.50 to $50.

CIothino. The first point that we
make sure of in gather
ioF Doys ing clothing for boys
is that it is GOOD. And it wouldn t
be good, and it wouldn't be cheap
no matter how little it cost-if
there was particle OF cotton mixed
in the fabric of which it was made;
for then the cloth would fade, and
draw out of shape if sprinkled with
rain. And SO we have not a single
suit of clothes in this store which is
not made of fabric that is every
thread wool; then all seams are
carefully sewed and buttons strongly
sewed on-clothes that mothers fee!
safe in putting on the boys.

excellent suits are ready ioday. The
last lot went long before the demand
was supplied Suit includes double

COLUMBUS, Aug. 11.-Bruno kirves.

the crime, but shortly after he was az
rested, he is alleged to have said that he
.'did it because the girl loved her
mother better than himself" Insanity
was the defense il the two trials, and a
stubborn effort was made TO prove he
was unaccountable for his actions, but
without avail
