On Friday evening Deputy William Fl.
Dobbins installed the officers of New Jer-
sey Lodge, No. ], Knights of Pythias, of
Mount Holly. During his trip through
out the county Mr.. Dobbins has received
much praise for his efficiency in this work,
which was made evident from the fact
that the entire ceremony was conducted
without the aid of a book, the Deputy
having committed to memory the entire
ritual, which contains over fifty pages.
i The new year was started with one propo-
sition for membership. On account of the
lodge having been the victim of an i'm
poster who recently appeared in town, an
amendment to the bylaws was offered
Final action on this proposed change vii
be taken on the 18th inst, when full at
tendance of the members is requested. A
committee of five that was appointed vii
. furnish entertainment next Friday night.

The Democrats positively refused to
accept N. d. Phelps of Barre, who is
one of the Republican senatorial NOM
inees, and whom the majority of the
Barre Clement delegates were insist
ing should go on the fusion ticket.
On this name the fusionists agreed to
disagree. The Democrats refused to
mix with straight Republican NOM
inee, but the other side to the con-
tention, Mr.. Phelps being an avowed
license man, finally accepted him, and
on the Clement ticket his name stands
in the place of d. NJ Miles of Barre.
In other respects, the Clement ticket
is the same as the Democratic, the
politics of each nominee being desig
mated in the enumeration given above.
There is evidently work and per-
plexity accommodating for the people
who will count the ballots on election

THE KIND OF MAN WEST POINT
MAKES.


There is no jealousy of the classmate
who rises by merit. At the mention
at the alumni meeting of the name of
Brigadier General Franklin Bell, a
first lieutenant of cavalry at the out
set of the Spanish war, men who had
once ranked him cheered with whole
heart. They knew the man and knew
that he had worthily won. his star.
The most unpopular brigadiershlp of
recent times was not that of either
Wood or Funston, non graduates, but
of graduate who was honored for a
name and not for the work he had
done. Work That is the gospel of
West Point.
Once he is through the four years
drill the cadets pride in it begins and
grows from year TO year, until it is a
memory more precious than all his
honors. At eighty it surpasses de-
scription by an outsider, who can only
refer you to General Longstreet and
others. The alumni, as is the Gus.
tom at commencement time, slept i'll
the cadet quarters, each sharing his
old room with his old mate where
possible. At two a. m, when one
who was past seventy was still play
ing boyish pranks, he was asked by a
younger man if he did not intend to
take any sleep.
"Sleep!' he replied, sleep now
I'll have enough time to sleep dur
ing West Points next centennial y
The outsider, and especially cadet S
mother, may think that there is not
enough leniency for boys lapses
but men who hold in trust the lives
of companies regiments bripades and
armies are not supposed to have
| lapses, particularly in action Again,
we hear that the system is so rigor.
Gus that it breaks down the health OF
| the students. Perhaps it would if the
cadet were allowed, after the day
work, to inhale cigarette smoke and
hang over beer mug until the small
hours of the morning. With such al
auxiliary, an elective course of lee
| lures has been known to undermine
more than one university mans con.
stitution. No college or preparatory
school can show such healthy look
ing set of boys at West Point. The
physical regime clears their heads for
an amount of mental work impossible
| under other conditions. They not only
obtain more instruction in four years
than they could sewhere, but from
raw youths they have become accom-
plished gymnasts, swordsmen, horse
men and artillerists, infantrymer
! and engineers. II that veteran
wounded in two wars, General Ling
street, is sample of the physical
wrecks" which West Point produc-
es, we cannot have too many of them
