How Is This for Conseryatism?
1t was no obscure member sitting
down away back that bobbed up III the
House at Washington and proposed
that Uncle Sam take possession of all
coal, coal beds and coal mines In the
United States and all lines of trans
portation, agencies, instruments and
vehicles of commerce necessary for the
transportation of coal"
1t was the Republican chairman OF
the House Judiciary committee who
proposed all that.
1t was man chosen for his sup
posed cool-headcdness, conservatism
and respect for the constitution and the
laws made in pursuance thereof as
head of the most conservative commit
tee Of the House.
1t was man chosen by the Speaker
of the House, who is supposed to stand
very near the head of the Republicans
party of the countryside party which
denounced and booted and ieered the
appropriation plank of the New York
Democratic platform last fall-tlle
plank which the Democratic nominee
for Governor of that State made haste
to repudiate.
1t was John ]. jenkins of Wiscon-
sin, Republican supposed to stand ut
about the farthest remove from reyo-
lutionary socialism, who proposed to
distance the New York Hill platform
and give the country n tremendous
send-off in the direction Of State social
ism.
What has happened to the Republi-
can party lately?
1t looks a good deal like panic and
general run for the tall timber

There has been much discussion of late on the
subject of trusts, and New Jersey is largely in
terested in the matter by reason of the large
number of corporations organized under her
laws. The fees and taxes from these corpora
tons are sufficient to pay the annual expenses
of the State, to pay large proportion of the cost
of our public education, and to leave a handsome
surplus besides. Other States. obvious of our

Jealousy is a constitutional psychological NAL

1t posons the dearest joys of life; it penetrates
into all the pores of the skin. Every drop of
water is saturated with its venom; it impreg-
