After a careful and conscientious
scrutiny of the almanac and a
thorough perusal of the weather
report we feel that we can prognos.
ticate with reasonable accuracy the
weather conditions for next Tues
day. The morning will open clear
and calm, with cooling streaks in
Democratic townships. AS the day
wears on the air will become de-
cidedly frosty in the aforementioned
townships, while the atmosphere
in Republican strongholds will
gradually warm up all day, and in
the evening there promises to be
warm times at all Republican head
quarters, with snow, sleet and rain
among the Democrats.

Active measures are being taken
by Morristown merchants to do
away with the trading stamp They
have come to realizing sense of the
fact that the stamp benefits no one
outside of the stamp companies
themselves and are determined tol
get rid of them. The stamp com
panies are using every means to re-
tain their hold on the merchants and
are making all sorts of inducements
to the dealers to keep in with them.
To one merchant lhe> offer free
advertisements, to another some
thing else and in this way and that
way they are doing all in their
power to force their stamps on the
merchants and the public. They
fully realize that if determined
stand should be taken here it would
give the trading stamp business
black eye and thefoere will not allow
them be to driven out if they can
possibly help it. A stand ha,
been made here against them and
and it only needs a title backbone
to be successful. There are rumor>
to the effect that the trading stamp
people propose to force the stamps
on Morristown whether or 10.
They are preparing to open stores
here themselves and sell all sorts
of goods and thus compel our peo-
pie to buy their stamps This may
be good legitimate business, but we
very much doubt if Morristown
will allow stamps concerns to come
here and drive out of business our
own people, who have been in bust
ness here for years, especially when
it is known that it is being done
simply as matter of spite.

Listen to no proposition of the
Democrats to trade off. Vote the
straight Republican ticket.

The leaders of the Jefferson
Lincolnites of Boonton understand
their business. They nominated
themselves for offices to which they
could never hope to be elected and
then gave every other member of
the party bona fide ofice-had
them all appointed challengers for
the coming election. There were
just ninety of the rabble and ninety
of them were appointed.

Next Tuesday is election day
and the privilege of voting will be
accorded to every American citizen
in this county who is properly
registered 1t is to the interest Of
every voter to vote at this election,
for County Clerk is to be elected.
The office of county clerk is one of
the most important of the county
offices and you should see to it that
your vote is vote for the man best
fitted to fill that office and look
after the impor ant affairs of that
office. No sane man can for mo-
ment doubt that the present County
Clerk, Mr.. Daniel S. Voorhees,, is
by far the best fitted and the most
capable of any of the candidates
who have been nominated. He has
the ability and the experience No
fault has been found with him b,
any one. M fault can be found
with his conduct of the office.
After cudgeling their brains fol
months few Democratic papers
have discovered that Mr.. VOORHEES,
has had an experience of some
twenty odd years in the office and
consequently should not be re-
elected for a second term For
the first time in the history of
man it has been found that years OF
experience units man for bust
ness Of all the ridiculous argu-
ments that have ever been made by
men of any party or of any faith this
certainly outstrips them all. The
originator of the argument is surely
entitled to comfortable room in
the State Hospital

The fall campaign has been very
quiet. The Democrats have had
no enthusiasm and the Republicans
are so we'll organized that the
chances of Democratic success are
practically nil. A feeble effort has
been made by few to defeat Mr..
Baker, but they have found him SO
strong in every section of the
county that they are all but ready
to acknowledge their schemes use
less.

Many complaints have been made
about the drilling on the Morris street
railroad crossing. Freight trains are
allowed to stand over the crossing
for an unreasonable length of time.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the board of aldermen
sometime ago, but it must be they
have never done anything about it.

LESSLER BRIBERY CASE

Report Will Exonerate Congressman,
and Quigg Also

The subcommittee appointed TO draft a
report Of the findings of fact in the Less
Ter bribery. case before the House Com
n.fttce OF Naval Affairs will hold its first
meeting tomorrow. The delay in the
matter has been caused by the absence
from Washington Of Representative Tay-
Ter. who is to write the report.
II will be found that Quigg said nothing
about an offer Of money to DobIin in re
Epect to Lcsslcr's vote. although it will
be held that Doblin did make such rep
reservations to LessIer. The friends OF
the Holland Submarine Boat Company

that If 0uigg and Lessler are both eX-
onerated the company shall be accorded

Senator Wellington by request yester-
day introduced a joint resolution for an
amendment to 5he Constitution limiting
private fortunes to $4,000. 600 and pro-
viding for the forfeiture to the Govern
ment Of any excess OF that amount as a
public nuisance. folly, or peril.
The preamble to the resolution re
cites:
whereas the private fortunes into
which the national wealth is being con-
gested. gigantic though they be, are as
yet only in their infancy; and, being
transmitted practically incorporate and
intact, these fortunes are in process OF
rcdoubIing, by compound interest and
compound dividends. from the present
hundreds of millions Of dollars each into
eventually thousands Of millions Of dol
lars each, and are already an offense
against public policy. simple justice, vi
tai religion. and common sense; and
whereas the trainers Of the Consti-
tuition would undoubtedly have provided
some such limiting article could they
have foreseen the need; and

before he LETT the chamber he eXacted
an agreement that the Statehood bill

intimated that he was taking no chances
on the opponents having the measure
laid on the table on snap judgment Sen

Commenting on the interview given
out BY Baron Speck Won Sternberg. the
new German ambassador to Washing
ton on the Monroe Doctrine. when hs
arrived in New York yesterday. the
''Vossische Zeitung" recalls the fact
that on previous occasions similar as
surances were given It greatly regrets
this, and thinks it hardly ereditable
that it should be considered necessary
to make fresh statement OF the ia
nocence Of Germany's designs.
The paper says that neither the Ger
man government nor the German people
are interested in the Monroe Doctrine.
It has never been among the orders Of
the day, and it is annoying TO find that
unprincipIed politicians have been able
to SOW the seeds Of mistrust betweea

petty intrigues and always fight with
honorable weapons.
