Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1902-09-11

The primaries to elect delegates to the
Democratic Congressional Convention
will be held throughout this county on Sat
urday next. This initial step to the selee-
ton of candidate for the most important
representative Office in the gift of the people
should interest every voter whose allegiance
is with the Democracy, because the eyes OF
the people of the District are directed to
the selection of this candidate as they have
not been before in generation.
The bestowal of the Democratic nomina-
ton for Congress in this District will not
be an empty honor this year, if the party
exercise wise discretion in the selection Of
the candidate. This is fact recognized
and understood from Camden to Salem.
Thousands of Republicans stand ready, aye,
are anxious. to enlist under the Demo-
cratic banner for this election, and this
knowledge should be an incentive to enthu-
siastic and patriotic effort all along the line.
Several names have been mentioned in
connection with the nomination, among
them being ex-Judge David ]. Pancoast,
Charles Albertson, ex-Judge Richard l..
Miller, Chas. Mann, of Camden ex-Con-
gresham Terrell, of Gloucester; Robert
Gwynne and Jonathan W. Acton, of Salem,
any of whom embody in their personality
and attachments characteristics which fit
them for this great trust.
Let it not be said that the Democracy OF
Gloucester failed in any duty in this i'm
portant hour; come to the convention with
full ranks, determined to do your part i'll
the supreme duty of the hour.

Three thousand head of cattle from
Canada passed through this country en-
route to Europe last week. And the bit
ter part of it is that when these cattle ART
slaughtered on the other side of the ocear
the meat will be sold cheaper per pound
after being freighted these thousand O
miles, than the same quality Of meat is sole
for in this country. Secretary Shaw is SURE
that it would not be good thing for us tt
get this meat cheap, because it would
necessitate taking the tariff off of cattle,
To take the tariff off Of anything is bad
thing according to Secretary Shaw and bis
fellow Republicans The consumers have
to pay these tariff exactions OF suffer. And
at present they are suffering.

AS winter approaches the problem of
heating our homes, public institutions and
business places, is one that rises continually
in mind 1t forces itself to the front.
The coal strike is apparently no nearer a
solution than two months ago. The coal
merchants of city and country refuse to
take orders, for the good reason that they
cannot fill them. In Philadelphia the
Board of Education has charted ships aud
will import %, ZOO tons of anthracite coal
from England, at cost of $3.50 per ton on
the wharf in Philadelphia. While this
move solves the heat problem there, thou
sands of other Boards of Education are not
in so fortunate position. There is not a
pound of anthracite coal in the cellars Of
Woodbury's school houses, aud an effort will
be made to burn soft coal. How sue
cessfully it can be handled is problem OF
the future but we are all hoping for good
results. Thousands of homes, accustomed
to comfort, will this winter go back to
primitive methods of heating. Wood stoves
will be set up, and the kitchen and living
room will be the only ones heated in the
home.
But these necessary make-shifts are OF
small moment when compared to the
suffering that must follow lack of fuel.
What is to become of the poor in the great
cities It would seem that knowledge Of
what is to follow further continuance of the
: lockout between operators and miners
would weigh nightly in bringing the
contending parties together. 1t remains,
we believe, to the anthracite coal operatives
to be the last great industry to deny recog-
milton to Union labor-the last to grant tC
human beings the same rights they have
taken for themselves They have organized
and fixed the price of coal in the United
States. Why deny their employees the
right to organization for the promotion oil
their welfare, and position to have
their protests heard and considered
Arbitration is recognized as the rational
and lust avenue through which difference
between employer and employee may be
adjusted. Why should these coal opera
tives, in whose hands the comfort as well al
the necessity of the country rests, SCI
themselves above all considerations o
Justice and doom the poor to suffering
business to stagnation, and the masses tt
prisation?

In some portions of our county, notably
in Monroe and Franklin townships, the
farmers are employing italian labor with
much success. The italian is worker,
steady and reliable. On the subject of
negro farm labor, the Paulsboro Press said
last week 1.-THE introduction of negro
farm help into South Jersey has resulted in
a material increase in lawlessness and a
feeling Of insecurity on the part of the
women of farmers families. 1t has gotten
ga that eollored men must have half day
off every week, and on Monday mornings
the chances are about even that they will
IA materialize. 1t will be good time for
the farmers when they can dispense entirely
with such help"
