Mr.. Gtbson,s Presumption.

John S. Gibson's candidacy for the
craftsmanship of the Essex county Re-
publican committee has brought out
the damning fact that he was born a
Democrat and that it was not until
1880 that he saw the error of his ways.
With his youthful record darkened by
such an awful shadow, it is amazing
that Mr.. Gibson should dare to raise
his voice in Republican councils. 1t is
appalling presumption in a man who
has been a Republican only twenty
three years to aspire to party leader
ship in opposition to the undefiled pa
triot, Carl Lentz He ought to be
promptly suppressed and by the same
token so should every other aspirant
for party honors who ever voted the
Democratic ticket. v West JerseyPress.

Grover Cleveland will not again

invitation to his party to renomi-
nate him for Congress next year is
accepted, it is certain that he will
have to run his campaign without
the aid OF Grover Cleveland as
stump speaker. Mr., Cleveland got
himself into a peck of trouble by
conserving to make that speech for
Mr.. Flanagan last year 1t brought
down on him an avalanche of inn
portunities to make speeches all
over New Jersey, and he felt that
he had made one of the small mis-
takes of his life"

Dover is to have a trolley line.
Morristown hackmen raise the rate
of fare. That S the difference. Do
yer citizens take an interest IN town
affairs-an active, fighting interest.
Morristown residents pat themselves
on the back, pat themselves quietly
and with dignity. Then they fall
asleep with a satisfied smile on their
faces. Some day they'll wake up
to a realization of the fact that
money isn't worth a snap unless 1t
is used. Capital and enterprise to-
gether may accomplish much. Cap
ital that merely rests is only a back
ground for bluff. Bluffs are usual
lv of short duration. Morristown
has capital and, if it would, could
easily become one of the most pros
porous towns in this section of the
country. Clever writer's have told
Of its advantages. Wealthy men
realize them, but conceal their ex-
istence and discourage their devel-
opment. If Morristown's highest
ambition is a social and not bust
ness one, then Morristown is top
notcher. If this city desires to
progress, then its business men must
get hustle on. Witness the Num-
Der of wagons sent here by the big
establishments of Newark and New
York. They represent the expend-
iture of many thousands of dollars
annually, and not all of it comes from
the wealthy classes either. Enter
prise might have tendency to re-
duce this amount considerably
How to apply that quality must be
apparent to the thoughtful. An
other of the evils is the lack of har-
mony between the business men and
the clerks organization. Both are
being injured by the friction which
arises, for if business men are not
prospecting the clerk is the first to
feel it. Morristown needs more
push, more general work-to-
gether sort of push-the kind that
moves things and makes town of
this size something more than a
mere sleeping place for the business
men of the metropolis When this
germ is fully developed you will see
a city here that will make its inhu
ence felt throughout the State. IN
til that time comes it will be mere
ly a large bedroom. Get together.

rational and intimate acquaintance,
the scale would soon tip the other
way. This does not apply alone
to the young, but to bachelors and
spinsters, widowers and widows.
Their natural inclination is to
marry, but this is in great meas

The chances Of stenographers,
typewriters and private secretaries
for desirable marriages are the
envy of their less fortunate sisters.
Even housekeepers often marry
employers who have been a prize
coveted by many women in their
own social set. Now the students
of these matters come forward
with the statistics to prove that in
the capture of a husband the
trained nurse leads all the rest,
says Ida Hustled Harper. Many
reasons are given for this fact, but
that one is sufficient which was
expressed by the poet century
ago: When pain and anguish
wiring the brow, ministering
angel thou" Men always have
wanted to marry angels--or have
thought they did. In case of the
nurse, the white garb and the
way she has of lowering over the
patient heightens the illusion.
She cannot flirt with another fell
low and torment him, and get
angry, and be selfish and exacting,
and show the unlovely side of her
character, as professional ethics
will not permit it. And then the
patient is at leisure; he cannot even
get into the mischief which Satan
holds in reserve for the idle; there
is no other woman near at hand (;
his illness has taken the conceit
and general bumptiousness out of
him; his innate desire to be waited
on and fused over is gratified; and
SO it is the most natural thing
imaginable for him to fall In love
with his nurse.
The greatest aid to marriage is
propinquity. If the students Of
sociology who are mourning over
the decline Of wedlock could only
devise some means of bringing
men and women together in a

1t is interesting to note that the
Newark News on Sunday last in its
Morristown correspondence said
that the announcement made by

contest for the craftsmanship of the

committee was having a queer eff

1t is also interesting to note that
the editor of the Banner wrote the

The report that Senator John
Kean is TO manage the New Jersey
end of the national campaign next
year will not surprise those who I'm.
derstand how close he is to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and how much the
President trusts to his judgment
concerning New Jersey affairs. But
the news will jar those who have
been getting ready to push along
the movement to retire Mr.. Kean
and send somebody else to fill his
place in the United States Senate.
Inasmuch as the presidential cleo
ton and Senator Kean's fight for re-
election are coincident, the Senator
will thus be in very strongly forti-
fed position. AS the representative
of President Roosevelt and the re-
publican national committee Sena-
tor Kean will pretty nearly control
the situation and it will require an
extraordinary effort to dislodge him.
Newark Truth.
Senator Kean seems to think that
he has heard nothing about this,
but it may be case of temporary
thoughtlessness on his part BY
the way, who are the parties said to
be trying to dislodge the Senator
If the Senator is really close to the
President their task will keep them
rather busy for time.
