ACCORDING 60 the census OF 1900,
there are in New Jersey l5,4S1 manu-
featuring establishments, with an ag-
gregate capital of s502, 1874, 0S2, and af-
fording employment to 24I, 5S2 persons.
The wages for that year amounted to
sll0,0SS, sos, and the value of the out
put was s61l, 748, 933. In the face Of
these statistics it is little wonder that
the Democrats Of this State are anx-
ious to get away from the National
issues. A platform that declares pro
lection to be robbery will find little
favor in industrial New Jersey West

MIR. Gibson Has Nothing TO Say.
John S. Gibson, the deposed secre-
tary Of the State Committee, on being
interviewed on the subject, says: All
I will say is that ! never asked mem
Der of the State committee for his
vote or for his support in any way for
the place. I did not turn a hand to
secure reelection, and now that it is
over ! will only say that am a loyal
Republican and will do what can in
my small way to bring about the sue
cess OF the party's ticket
Mr.. Gibson evaded replying toother
questions with the remark, do not
wish to be drawn into a controversy
with anybody, and must refrain from
making any further statement. =

BASE INGRATITUDE.


Contemplate especially the treat
ment given to ex Governor Werts and
see what base ingratitude it is. II
ever a man sacrificed his own interests
for those Of his party it was he. It IS
notorious that he was literally dragged
from his place on the Supreme bench
of the State to run for Governor in
1892, thus giving up a life time of a
lucrative and exalted station for a
three years term as governor. This
sacrifice, we say, was forced upon
Judge Werts by leaders of his party
contrary to his wish and Judgment,
and when they knew 1T meant almost
certain ruin to his future prospects.
The act was essentially moral murder
of the most cruel sort. There is not
the slightest evidence that Governor
Werts has ever been nything but a
loyal Democrat, or that he has at any
time lent himself to the furtherance
of Republican schemes or interest.
There is nothing in his antecedents to
justify suspicion that as member OF
the Equal Tax Commission he will not
act with honesty and wisdom and for
the best interests Of the common
wealth. The course Of the Democratic
papers that we have referred to
toward him because he has accepted
that trust is, therefore, unjust and
contemplate in the last degree

On revision Of the war claims on

troller Of the Treasury has found that
there is 1922. 4ls. 80 due the State, and
has directed that warrant issue
therefor. The State claimed $685.
492 95 for interest paid on bonds issued
to raise money toad the United States
in the War Of the Rebellion. The
auditor disallowed SAFE, 659.75, and an
appeal by the State from this decision
resulted in a revision and a partial
victory for New Jersey.

and endeayors to satisfy the people
that when reform Is needed the Repub-
licans will bring 1t about.
Mr.. Bryan distinctly declares that
the money issue is not abandoned, but
is simply held in allegiance. He knows
and he says that all the anti gold
standard sentiment of the country is
in the Democratic party and In this he
is fully sustained by the Republican
platform itself as well as by the ut
terances of every recognized leader of
the Republican party. Ii the money
plank of the Republican platform
speaks the truth, every silver man in
Nevada ought to vote the Democratic
ticket. Ifthat plank does not speak
the truth everybody ought to vote
against the candidates OF the party
for which it speaks.
The prospects of Democratic success
are Frightening every day. The al

all is not well with the g. o. p.

iii II. FOWLER ON THE POLITICAL
SITUATION.


Representative Charles n. Fowler
was among the prominent Republicans
wi1u were in Trenton Tuesday, and
who talked over the political condi-
tons of the State. They were all con-
fident Of Republican victory in No
yember, and Mr.. Fowler, who had in-
formation from various sections Of the
State, believes that 10000 majority
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks is a fair
estimate Of what New Jerseys record
will be, Mr.. Fowler has too high 81
regard for the intelligence Of the
voters in New Jersey to share in the
doubts of the pessimistic Republicans,
to believe that many have forgotten
the disaster that came to the country
through change Of administration.
He belfves the very nature OF things
makes New Jersey safe for the Repub-
lican national and State ticket The
manufacturing, commercial and other
interests to which the political con
test Of the Nation is of vital impor-
tance are likely to unite capital and
labor for continuance of the present
administration policies. Mr.. Fowler.
warns the Republicans Of the State
against apathy, from which more dam
ger is to be feared than from the
strength of the Democrats in the
State.
= The outlook in this, Mr.. Fowlers
district, was fayorably viewed in the
survey of the field by the lenders in
their conference. In Warren county
the Republican situation is considered
quite as satisfactory as in any Presi7
Dental year. There is Democratic
discord in the county, and the result
will doubtless be the cutting down Of
the Democratic majority. In Morris
county Daniel S. Voorhees,, the coun-
ty member of the Republican State
Committee, said Mr.. Fowler is strong
er there than he was in 1902, and
most favorable report from Union
county was given. Harmony prevails
and there viii be no trouble from fac
tional differences such as resulted in
the defeat of the county ticket last
fall

The Democratic platform favors 81
provision and a gradual red uction Of the
tariff" Ofcourse, if protection is rob-
berry, as Democratic orators are fond
| of declaring from the stump, to throw
down the tariff barrier schedule BY
schedule and section would be to COM
promise with crime. The whole in
famous system would have to be de-
| stroyed by the party which stands
forth as the champion of the mas
ses." But it is for going slow and re-
yising with a SOLICITORS hand Why
this gentleness with iniquity?
The answer may be found in the
prosperity Of the new South and it's
hopes of future thrift and well being.
II is the Southern Democrats who
supply most Of the electoral votes
that are found in the party column in
every Presidential election. The new
South is synonymous with the manu-
featuring South, which fiourishes by
virtue Of q Republican tariff law.
lake, for instance, a town like Union,
in the Piedmons section Of South
Carolina. In 1890 it had 1000 inha-
bitants, and business was dead. 4
To-day it has 1000 and business IS
humming, thanks to the robber tariff.
Union has six cotton mills that give
employment to 1900 operatives and
support 5000 people. The annual
payroll is s65s,O00. The assessed pro
perty valuation has risen In eleven
years from 1918, $50 to s1,72I, 5lI. I'm
ion has fine electric light and water
works systems, modern sewerage,
cement sidewalks and macadamized
roads, a public library and five graded
schools.
Union is for gradual revision OF the
tariff-Very gradual. Intact, it would
like to stand pat. And the con-
dition and hopes OF Union are those
of hundred like centres of industry
in the South. Hence it is that the
tariff plank In the Democratic plat
form is sounding brass. N. Y. Sun.

debates ever witnessed in the state was drawn to an amicable close.
 Ordinarily there is nothinp spectacular or clamorous in con- nection with the naming of re- publican candidate for governor in Arkansas, but the representa- tive body of citizens there assem- bled and the eulogistic nominat- ing speech made in placing the name of Harry H. Myers before the convention and his eloquent acceptance would have rivaled a convention of like character in any state where a republican nomination was equivalent to an election. All in all, it is only how you look at it, whether trip to the capital city is interesting. Green Forest is only 150 miles from Little Rock but to reach it by rail che must travel over 300 miles, by the way of Seligman, Mo-, and Mister, I. T., and at the latter place you are no, closer to your journeys end than when you started, although you have travelled 150 miles. A. J. R.

Col. Eli. Dodson of Bellefonte, was in town Monday, looking to be in better health and in better spirits than we have seen him for years. The Colonel told us of re- ceiving & few months ago his old army pistol, a Colts Navy, that was taken from him when captur- ed by a federal officer at the Pea Ridge battle. The Colonel re- ouested the officer to let him re- tain the pistol as it was his prop ertv; the officer said he would gladly do so, but his instru otlons would not permit it. The officer several months ago wrote to Col Dodson asking if he was the oEfl- cer whom he captured at Pea Ridge and took possession or his nistol. The Colonel replied that he was, stating the circumstances incident to the capture, upon re- ceipt of which by the officer the pistol was expressed to Col. Dod- son. It was gone just forty years and eight months. It is needless to say that the Colonel apprecl- ates fhis old war relic very highly, not for it's intrinsic value, but the history connected with it.-Boone Banner.

 Good Council from Many Sources
 Buttermilk will take out mil dew stains.
 Old napkins and tablecloths make the very best of glass cloths.
 To take white stains from fur niture rub with hot milk and tur- pentine or oil and turpentine.
 A few tabIespoonfuls of kero- sene oil in a pail of warm water will facilitate the polishing of mirrors and windows.
 Cakes will never burn at the bottom when baking if a little salt be sprinkled on the oven shelf under the cake tin.
 An excellent and simple method of making lamp throw out a clear bright light is to place a small lump of camphor in the oil.
 When you mop the floors add to each pail of warm water two tablespoonfuls of carbolic acid. It leaves the wood in a sweet and healthy condition.
 To keep mice away, scatter small piecies of camphor in your cupboards and drawers. They greatly dislike the smell of cam phor and will go away from it..
 To preserve the fresh green color of vegetables like peas, beans, etc, the lid of the sauce- pan should never be put on while they are cooking, as this will ruin their color; and never leave vegetables to stand in water after they are cooked.
 Beeswax and salt will make rusty flat irons as smooth as glass. Tie a lump of wax in rag, and keep it for that purpose. When the irons are hot, rub them first with the wax rag then SCOUT with a paper or cloth sprinkled with salt.
 Hot water will often restore flowers to freshness even when every petal is dropping. Place the stems in cup of boiling wa ter, and leave them until every leaf is smoothed out; then cut of the stems, and put this bouquet into lukewarm water.
 Food articles that are damp should never be left in ord mary paper. Paper is made of wood pulp, rags, glue, lime, aud simi- lar substances intermixed with acids and chemicals. When damp it should not be allowed to come in contact with things that are to be eaten.
 In ironing handkerchiefs, it is useful to remember that the mid dle should be ironed first; to iron the edges first causes the middle to swell out like balloon and makes it difficult to iron satisfac- torily. Test the iron car efully before using it; a piece of rag should be on hand for that pur- pose.
 One of the most important parts of washing is the sorting o1 the cloths. There are many stains which, like those of pers- piration disappear magically with little cold water and soap, oth- CTS, like fruit and coffee, whicf must be treated with boiling water but are permanently set by luke warm water. If it is the practice of the family to soak all the clothes in cold water before the washing has begun, a great many stains will be permanently set but if the various kinds of stains arc carefully sorted out ane properly treated hours. of rubbing will be saved.
