Col. Sam B. Harrison OF Pied
mont, attended the launching of the
West Virginia down at Newport
News, Va, recently and assisted
with the dedication of the new
cruiser. Miss Kathaline White, the
daughter of Governor White, broke
q bottle of wine over the PROV oil
the boat and wasted it. Col. Sam
B. also used a bottle (perhaps
several) in the dedicatory services,
but did not waste it, consequently
was inspired to perpetrate the fol-
lowing sentiment
To-day the great cruiser West
Virginia has kissed the seas, named
in honor of the cherished Mountain
State, manned as she will be by the
patriotic sons of our glorious coun-
try. AS she sails on the grand
restless ocean and carries Old Glory
TO all parts of the world, ! offer
this sentiment: West Virginia, God
speed you; may you ever protect
our flag in sunshine and In storm,
but, above all, may the angels of
peace ever rest with you.

Ether and chloroform so useful in
sending men to sleep, have the very
opposite effect on plants, which are
stimulated to the greatest possible
activity by these drugs. In Den
mark and Germany advantage has
been taken of this fact to force flow
ers in rooms and glasshouses and to
make them bloom out of season.
The results are said to be marvellous.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Now we want to say right here that
the candidates springing up so rapid
ly all over the county for the Repub-
lican nomination for Senator, will
have to make their. intentions if elect
ed regarding the vote for the successor
to United States Senator John Kean,
known Enthusiastically to all before the
County Convention is held. If the
Honorable John Kean is not re-elect-
ed for another term it will be because
the Republican party is ungrateful or
that the Democratic party has major
ity of the Legislature. New Bruins
wick Daily Press.
Governor Murphy says that the
newspaper men of the State are most
of them honest themselves and want
to see honest men in public Office.
Right he is. If the public would only
be half as insistent upon honesty as
are the majority of the newspapers,
we'd have an honest government in
deed. Passaie Daily Press.
The new primary.election bill not
the sort of law that is desired. The
most serious objection to it is that it
abolishes the secrecy. of the ballot and
vertually prohibits independence in
voting. Every man who participates
in the primaries held under the law is
REQUIRED to state how he will vote at
the election ensuing. and if he should
vote otherwise he would commit per-
jury. Camden Courier.

II the Legislature must rush humid
reds OF bills through during the last
week or ten days of the session, then
let 1T adjourn for two or three weeks,
give the governor time to act on the
bills thrown at him; then reconvene
and correct blunders and spass upon
the measures that have been vetoed.
Then the legislators may go home
without danger of being called back
again. Elizabeth Daily Journal.
The Journal is right in the stand
it has taken in this matter. Our con-
stitutional fathers never meant that
one man should make all t he laws for
New Jersey, the members of the leg
islature acting merely as clerks, draw
ing up the bills and getting them in
shape for him t o pass upon. This
borders too much on the one man
style of government. The time Is
coming when the people will demand
a change in the-present method. The
extra session which will soon convene
would be a good time for the law
makers to consider some of the COVER
nor 8 vetoes.

AS the managers point out, baseball
is necessarily anoisy sport and is not
at all fitting for the one day in seven
