The conference yesterday demon
stratcd the danger OF all such meetings.
Absolutely nothing can come Of them
that does not comprise a surrender Of
the dignity and self-respcct Of Regular
Republicans. These Union Republic
can members have no purpose but to
serve Addicks. and all conferences par
take of the nature of a poker game,
where each is trying TO 'ldo' the other.
At the exact psychological moment
Addicks appeared on the scene, making
It evident that all the while he had been

can members we are glad that no fur

PREVENTIVE OF SMALLPOX

Il have conducted experiments on
numberless cases and where the dis
covery has been administered inwardly
have found that vaccine positively
will not take on those persons. l was
delighted when l was conscious of my
success and at once notified the Acad-
emy of Medicine, with the result that
my conclusions were found to be cor
rect by the officials of that institution.
"The discovery is of such value that
the French Government will at once
make use of it. Already the matter
has found its way into all the medical
journals of Importance in France, and
the medical institutions and hospitals
there Will use it in place Of vaccina-

The Star Of Empire
! Ma Chicago Intor Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
"The construction Of the Siberian
railroad has practically reduced the
earth's size by one-fourth," says Prof.
Frederick Austin Ogg, in the Chautau-
quan for January. In other words, the
construction of the Siberian railroad
has reduced the journey from st.
Petersburg TO the Pacific from one Of
many months to one of few days
In the same way the construction Of
our own Pacific roads reduced the jour
Hey from Chicago to the Pacific from
one of a hundred days to one Of a hun
dred hours.
When the United States secured a
foothold beyond the Mississippi the cry
OF the American people was Westward
the star of empire takes its way" and
in fifty years they had a foothold on
the Pacific, $500 miles away. But il
was not until the railroads had cut the
journey down to one of days that the
empire Of the farther West was con-
quered.
When the Russians broke through
the Ural Mountains their cry was
Eastward the star of empire takes its
way" But for fifty years the spirit OF
empire groped blindly acrocs the 1000
miles Of unknown territory, with no
goal in sight. When the Cossacks in
1886 discovered the Pacific the real
Russian march eastward, based on de-
sire for sea power, began.

The Boz and the clrarette

From the Newark ADVERTISER
The Legislature twenty years ago
passed an anti-cigarette law. which for
bade the sale OF cigarettes to youth
under l6 years OF age. The statute
has been imperative ever since. The
public school teachers In Camden have
now appeald to the police authorities
TO stop the sale of cigarettes to school
children. They say the habit of cigar
dtte smoking has become so common
|amOng school boys that many are un-
unable to concentrate their mind ON
their studies and that they fall asleep
in their seats.
About the same complaint should be
made by the teachers of an the schools
In the cities and towns of the State.
Unscrupulous dealers make no bones
of regularly selling cigarettes TO chill
dren OF all ages and in quantities as
small as q pennyworth. The police
lcannotysearch out these violators of the
law and the legislative act provides no
machinery for enforcement The rem
edy seems to lie in voluntary associa-
ltiOn.

GOOD ROADS ECONOMY

There is a widespread demand in
this State for better roads and we want
to see this Legislature do something
in the matter We don't carerwhich
party gets the credit, or whether it is
divided. We take It for granted that
there is enough intelligence among the
members 10 sift the conflicting sugges-
tions and formulate some sensible
scheme which shall use the money in
the treasury to advantage.
No high salaried officers are re-
quired; in fact, those who should be
put in charge OF the building of the
roads ought to be expert road engi-
neers, who may or may not be Della
wareans.
In nothing have we Jagged behind 50
much as in the matter Of roads. The
Estate road in many places is not a whit
better than when il was laid out under
the direction OF William Penn. The
horses and wagons met the same OBJ
struction as the earlier ox-carts, and
automobiles find not a particle Of i'm
lprovement. In certain parts of Kent
and Sussex about once i'm three years a
crowd of men and boys, with shovels,
throw the sand to the middle and round
Il up. The teams wallow through this
and the rains wash il till the same con-
dition prevails in TWO months that was
met before.

DR.. Guyula Ullman, French physician
of Chester, was yesterday notified that
the Academy of Medicine, at Paris,
France, has bestowed upon him a silver
medal in honor of a discovery which
he has made regarding a preventive of
smallpox, which, it IS saiC. may take
the place of vaccination
The Academy conducted examinations
along the same lines some time ago
which it is declared fully corroborated
what DR.. Ullman says regarding his
remedy.
Speaking of the matter DR.. Ullman
said:
Il do not mean to declare against
vaccination, | believe in it heartily and
as a proof of my faith / have had all
my own children vaccinated, but this
remedy will take the place of vaccina-
tion and prove a boon to those who dc
not desire to submit to incubation. II
is medicine that can be taken inward
ly and will make one proof against the

VERY SIMPLE DUTY

"With whom shall we dicl1er?" is the
question that seems TO be agitatlng the
minds OF many members OF the Legis-
ature. For the Regular Republicans
the solution seems simple. Dicker or
deal with nobody. There is no occa-
sion for Il.
Sometimes good politics aud good
policy are not in conflict. This situa-
ton does not call for great wisdom;
only Straightforward honesty and back
bone are needed.
a minority party usually holds its
caucus, nominates its officers and pro
ceeds TO vote for them. This lis the
position OF the Regular Republicans.
To enter into deals Immediately low
ers men in the public estimation and
ties their hands
There should be no deal, no under
standing with either the Democrats or
the Union Republicans. The Regular
Republicans should make known their
faith by going into the Legislature un-
trammeled. and not bound with alli-
ances that must excite suspicion.
II their candidates receive support
and are elected they will be victorious,
and yet have no debts to pay. If
they fail to elect the officers they
name, mo blame can attach to them.
We had hoped that we had gotten be-
yond petty politics, and that all acts
could be performed before the puhlic
gaze. These diclers, these secret con-
claves are sinister and unnecessary.

Unions vs.. National Guard.

Springfield, Ill.,. Aug. 2G.-When the
Fourth Infantry, |. N. g., Colonel j.
Tanner commanding, went into camp,
Second Lieutenant Charles r. Taylor
of company G. Carbonate, failed to
report for duty, but instead sent in his
resi- naticn, stating thas he had been
compelled TO resign on account of the
action taken by the Switchmen's un-
ion at Carbonate, which has threat
encd to expcl him from the union in
case he remained in the national guard.
If his statement can be proven it is
probable that the state will take some
action, rs such rulings on the part of
labor unions adverse to the national
guard have been held by the courts as
Illegal. A thorough investigation OF
the case will be made by the adjutant
general
