MiddleseX county should carefully
consider who it sends to represent it
in the Senate. The county is one of
the most important in the State and
it's interests at Trenton should be
guarded by a trustworthy senator A
man of sound Judgment, unqucstioned
honesty and the courage of his con-
victions hould be selected; a man who
has the confidence of the people and of
the higher State officers. Such a man
is William II. c. Jackson, the nominee
of the Republican party.
He has proven his right to the Of
flee. For two years he has been one
of the county's representatives in the
Assembly. He has studied his col
leagues and has learned the ropes"
so to speak. He has gained the knowl-
edge that can only be acquired by ex-
pericnce in the Legislative halls. He
has fitted himself for a step higher
and it is luz him that he be promoted
that step.
Promotion hould always follow
work well done. The most successful
legislator is not the one who can talk
the longest or the most eloquently, but
the one who is quick to grasp the
iilGdlllS una importance OIL proposed
laws as they are presented; who has
the ability to secure the passage of II
bill desired by his people; who has the
influence to kill a measure calculated
to injure his county.
Mr.. Jackson has proven that he has
all these qualifications. Tie is no UNI
known quantity. 1t was largely through
his work that the bill for the estab-
lishment of the School of Ceramics at
Rutgers became Il law. He was also
active in the interest of all other bills
affecting the college.
His excellent business training and
conservative business methods served
him well on the important Appropria-
lions Committee. His Legislative record
shows that he was active in securing
appropriations for the Improvement of
roads; in securing Legislation for the
encouragement of manufacturing in
terests in the county; in helping the
Spanish-Amcrican Wal Veterans to Sc
cure the clothing allowance due them.

Alexander Robert Fordyce, Jr., who is
making a hustling canvass for election to
the Assembly, is a good type of the young
American in politics. He was born in
New York City. When he was young his
family moved to New Jersey and he now
resides on a farm at Dayton, South
Brunswick township.
Mr.. Fordyce attended the public schools,
Stevens High School and Rutgers Gram
mar School. He entered Princeton Uni
versity and was graduated from there in
1886. He was prominent, influential and
popular in college. He studied law at the
New York Law School and was graduated
in 1888. In the same year he was ad-
mitted to the bar and has been practicing

But why has this ichness not been

a queer way for a business man to

You and I and the rest of the com
mon people are not assessed less on

then has been and is assessed less and

den somewhere in Mayor George Vieh-

"friends"--the friends who are press
ing the button and pulling the string
of the political jumping jack?
Taking into consideration the fact
that formerly we were assessed for
less than the true value of our prop
erty, the tax rate for the current year
is higher than it ever was before.
1t is two dollars and sixty-five cents
on every one hundred dollars OF our
property. 1t is ten points higher than
last year-fifteen points higher thar
in 1900 and twenty-five points higher
than in 1898. 1t would have been at
least ten points higher yet If Perth

values a number of million dol

from the old Snoozer's tax bills:

THE NEXT CONVENTION.
[Pocahontas Record

We notice that several Of our ex-
changes have taken their cue from
LATE Young's Capital and are endeavor-
ing to create the impression thruout the
state that there will be no contest over
any of the nominations in the repub
lican state convention next summer.
1t is conceded fact all over the state
that Governor Cummins has made one
Of tho best executives the state ever
had, and will have no opposition.
Lieutenant Governor Herriott is en-
titled to a second term and Judge
Bishop will no doubt be returned to
the supreme bench. Not SO, however,
with successors to Railroad Commits
sioner Palmer, and Superintendent of
Public Instruction Barrett. These two
latter will have served the state for
six years each at the expiration of
their present terms of Office and there
is sentiment growing turnout the
state against the long term, at any rate
1t is a bad precedent. The state is
filled with good material and the
younger men of the party ought 10 be
encouraged and given an opportunity
to get to the front. County Superin.

There is no reason for believing that

productive of harm; on the contrary.
lit is the common experience that when
moderately INDUCED in it serves to al
lay restlessness and irritability, but the
sequel to the habit of inhalation may
indeed be dire, the heart and nervous

many cigaret smokers inhale the smoke
into the lungs, as may be seen from
the fact that very littis>of the smoke

InhaIins Tobacco Smoke.


On the labels of some of the boxes
of cigarets at present being sold to the
public is statement to the effect that
the cigarets are made of the purest
tobacco and paper obtainable, and
that, therefore, the smoke from them
may be inhaled safely and without ir-
ritating the respiratory passages. We
do not hesitate to say that such state
ment is highly mischevious, and that
the practice of inhaling smoke into the
lungs Is attended with considerable
risk to the health of the smoker.
1t is to be feared that the cigaret is
responsible largely for the prevalence
of this Objectionable habit of inhaling
tobacco smoke; the pipe or cigar
smoker is as rule, not addicted to
1t. because probably the smoke is too
strong or too irritating. But the fact
that the smoke of a ciraret may be un-
irritating does not minimize the evil of
drawing the smoke into the lungs, for
by this method the absorption of the

BRoLAskrs MlLLlON.

One of the dupes OF Brolaski, the
get-rich- quick gambler, is authority for
the statement that BroIaski got away
with a million dollars. This investor
claims to have fully Investigated and
to be absolutely certain that the pro-
moter took with him to Europe the
equivalent of million in cold cash
which had been feeced from the $500
investors whose names were on Brolas-
ki's books. None of this, he says, can
he recovered by law. If the investiga-
ton conducted by this investor" is to
be accepted as final Broiaski is beyond
reach of legal measures looking to the
recovery Of the money or his prqsecn-
ton for crime He was not guilty of
embezzlement, as he simply gave his
own personal note to the victims in re-
turn for their money. There appears to
be but one feasible plan to get back
even portion of the million, which is
to compromise with the swindler on his
own terms-if he is willing to compro-
mise on any terms.
Thirty-six hundred rcople trusted
Brolaski with an average of $500
apiece! That would amount to nearly
100000 paid in by confiding inves-
tors to q firm without standing in the
business world and to an agent con-
fessedly a gamester and bettor on the
chances and yicissitudes of horse rae
ing. The average business man will
wonder how these people came into
possession of $500 apiece and how they
managed to keep it as lohg as they did.
Nobody feels particularly sorry for
their loss. When Brolaski paid back
half of their investment they received
more than ordinary horse sense would
give them any right to expect. They
simply transferred their accumulations
to MIR. Brolaski in exchange for expe-
rience of which Mr.. Brolaski seems to
have had sufficient supply to meet
all demands in this direction.
II 1t is true that the law is defective
In reaching the case OF such swindlers
as Brolaski then there should be legis-
lation to meet the need. That every
investor with the get-rich- quick man
was attempting to get something for
nothing is outside the case entirely. The
law is made to protect the greedy and
foolish as much as the wise and tenn
perate. The government thru the postal
department Is giving its attention to
frauds of this character With q view to
their suppression by exclusion from the
mails, but 1t is doubtful IL 1T will be
able to suppress the sale of racing tips
unless where a guarantee to win is
made part of the transaction. 1t would
seem, however. that an industry init
mateiy connected with and practically
a part of gambling may be suppressed
by law and lacking the existence of a
legal barrier to a business SO plainly
opposed to the public welfare and good
morals that no time should be lost in
