g OUR FLAG is THERE RlGHTFULLY
THERE"

Those were the words of the late Pres
ident Mckinley concerning the Philip
pines. Various are the schemes of
the anti. Imperialists for dealing with
the Philippines. In Washington the
Democrats in each house of Congress
have a plan The House Democrats
want to establish protectorate for eight
years and then haul down the flag and
leave the islands and the people to the
tender mercies of the native leaders.
In the Senate the Democrats propose to
turn the people over to an International
protectorate. Now think of it! No
wonder the Chicago Chronicle says of
this plan:
ut does not make any difference
which form of folly the Democrats in
Congress adopt. Both policies are
equally unwise and bad A majority of
the American people never will agree to
surrender an acre of the foothold which
they possess in any part of the world .
The Chronicle is a Democratic paper
which probably represents the voice of a
large number of Democrats in the West
as well as in the East To its own
party the Chronicle addresses this need
full warning, mo political party in this
country can gainIa majority of the votes
with the "scuttle" policy for platform. !"

THE ISSUE,

The question to be decided on Tues
day next by the voters of Morristown
is whether it shall be governed next
year by the Republicans or the Demo
Gratis. The records of the town ever
since its incorporation show that the
Republicans have invaribly managed
its affairs more economically than their
opponents. A recent instance of
Democratic extravaganza was the sign
ing of contact for lighting the town
for three years at the present high rates
in spite of strong Republican protest.
Naturally those whose private interest
it is to have Board of Alderman which
is lavish in it's expenditures favor the
election of the Democratic candidates
and are doing their level best to elect
them. The Republican candidates are
all worthy of the hearty support of the
voters without regard to party. The
very fact that the Democratic candi-
dates are decent men is no reason in
itself why they should serve on the
Board of Aldermen. Every Republi-
can voter should go to the polls without
fail, on Tuesday and vote straight
ticket.

AN UNTlMELY QUOTATION.

Some years ago Philadelphia preach

practice of having the children quote
some scripture text as they dropped
pennies into the contribution box. On
the first Sunday in question, little

DR.. BARKER AND THE SEWERAGE
PROBLEM.

The Democrats of Morristown finding
nothing true to say against DR.. Barker
have adopted their usual policy of mis-
representation. They are asserting that
Dr. Barker has always been and is now
opposed to providing a system of sewer.
age and drainage for Morristown. That
is absolutely false.
On January 90, 1896, DR.. Barker,
while opposing proposed act to pro-
vide for the sewerage of Morristown,
made it clear that his opposition was
not to a sewer, as such, Though he re-
CARDS a common sewer as common
danger), but to the plan of sewage dis
posal then proposed namely, that of
filtration.
He further objected to that act be-
cause its provisions were such that the
cost of that system was to be so assessed
and collected as to infiict gross hard
ships on the owners of property belong
ing to the working classes DR.. Bark
ers own words were:'
The proposed acts makes extensive
and cast iron provision for dealing with
delinquent assessments against the PEG
ple who will not or cannot pay them
These are so stringent and so costly that
great hardship would be inflicted upon
people who have mortgages upon their
little homes and whose incomes were
lonly sufficient to meet the daily wants
OF the family and pay the interest upon
their loan; or the still more unfor.
tunate class who, by reason of sickness
or other adversely, found themselves
unable even to pay their interest. How
would either of these classes be able to
nav an assessment for sewer construc.
tionY 1t would be impossible to avoid
the forced sale of their homes. without
a hope of ever being able to pay the
various costs, fees and interest, besides
the original assessment"
With the present act, in which these
defects are remedied, DR.. Barker is in
hearty sympathy. A vote for DR.. Barker
is a vote cast for man who under
stands public questions thoroughly and
where honesty and resolute character
are feared by those who have designs of
their own to promote at the expense of
the town.

Mr.. Burke is well known Demo,
cratic Office holder in the First Ward,
who owes his election to the Board of
Aldermen solely to the votes of Repub-
licans who were induced to vote for him
simply to help that gentleman "make
a good run in Republican Ward"
Mr.. Burke is to be commended for his
untiagging devotion to the interests of
the Democratic party, irrespective of
the worth of its candidates. He was
never known to vote fer a Republican,
no matter how worthy. We ask every
Republican voter in the First Ward to
cast straight ticket for the candidate
of their party, Stephen S. Day Mr..
Day is well known business man and a
property owner in the ward. He is ac-
tive, intelligent and broad minded, and
can safely be entrusted with Aldermanic
honors. Don't make the serious mis-
take of voting for his opponent for per-
sonal reasons. Mr.. Day is entitled to
the vote of every First Ward Republi-
can. That will make his election sure.
Don't split the ticket.

1t is genuine pleasure to support the
candidacy of Edward K Mills, who is the
nominee Of the Republicans for Alder
manship in the Fourth Ward. He comes
of a family which has always been
identified with the interests of the town.
He has the education, ability and time,
so necessary for the successful discharge
of the duties connected with the office
for which he has been named. Besides
this his training as lawyer will be of
great service in dealing with the intri-
cate questions which of necessity must
soon come before the Aldermen for set
Element. 1t is unfortunate that Mr..
Mills has been unable, owing to serious
illness in the family, requiring his pres
ence in a neighboring city, to give per-
sonal attention to the canvass, but we
trust the voters of the Fourth Ward
will see to it that they elect him as their
representative in the Board, at this time
when every taxpayer is interested in
having low tax rate and an intelligent
administration of town affairs

The course of Alderman Grove while
a member of the Board of Aldermen
has been wise and consistent with his
well known veins as to progress and
an economical administration of town
affairs. He deserves the united support
of every Republican in the Third Ward.
The record of his opponent, Mr.. Arrow
smith, who once answered to the roll call
as the misrepresentation from that ward,
is easily spelled with an 90" There
are so many questions of vital interest to
the town to be considered by the Alder
men this year that it would be the
height of folly to elect the latter when
the opportunity is afforded of returning
the Republican nominee, whose record
is one which coinmends itself to all tax
payers. Vote for George Grove for
Alderman from the Third Ward.

"POOR WHITES" TO RECEIVE ATTEN-
TON

Attention is being very generally
called to the need of educational faclli-
ties for the poor white children of the
South, and there is prospect that some
of the wealthy men of the country will
exercise their generosity in this direction.
1t is field that has been comparatively
neglected. There have been many gifts
for the establishment of negro schools,
not because of any feeling of partially,
but because there has been discrimina-
ton in the South in favor of the whites
and the common understanding is that
the blacks are especially and urgently in
need of help. To educate the ''poor
whites" and to establish industrial train
ing schools for them will be to better
their social condition and habits of life

The great popularity Of Peruna as

called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
tonics are to be found In many drug stores.
These remedies can be procured by the
druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Pc

Thus II is that druggists are tempted to
substitute the cheap limitations of peruna
