state Road Law.

A state law which is probably known
very little about by the ordinary resident
but which is at present receiving some
consideration by the governing board Of
several townships in this county, reads, in
part, as follows =:
Owners or occupants of land abutting Oh
any highway in any township shall, during
September of each year, cut and remove
all briars, brush and weeds and IN case Of
failure to do so, the township committee
shall cause such work to be done, and the
owner shall pay such expense incurreds
with costs, if suit be necessary before
justice of the peace. The law provides a
penalty Of SIS and costs of action against any
person who shall place in any public street
or highway of the State broken glass, bot
ties, loose stones, or other materials that
are nuisance and are liable to cause injury
to horses, vehicles, pedestrians, bridges or
any animal. And any overseer of high
ways who places crushed stone or gravel in
the roads Of an inch and one-half or more

tlnue plethOric until the retirement of
President Roosevelt next March. OF
all the various large and medium sized
funds in the hands of the various
bureaus and departments, only this one
remains, almost untouched In all 9TH
er departments the congress has to
come to the aid Of the paymaster with
a deficiency appropriation in every
congress, but not so in this isolated
case the case of the trust busting de-
partment. During the fifty-seventh
congress Mr.. Bartlett, Democrat, pro-
posed an amendment to an appropria-
ton bill to provide d fund of a quar-
ter of million to be used by the at
torney general in prosecuting trusts.
The Republicans found they were be-
ing put in a hole, so Mr.. Hepburn
hoped up and proposed to increase it
to half a million, for who could be so
great an enemy of the wicked trusts
as four flush stand patter of the
Hepburn school? So, with fierce and
gleeful yell. Hepburn saw Bartlett and
raised him. Right here let me give
pause to those WHO would thougntIeSS-
ly and without due elaboration accuse
the g. o. III. of extravaganza. Did the
Republican party, through its high Off
GERS in the department of justice,
squander this fund in riotous, fierce
and bloody assaults on the octopi? Did
it blow in this great fund sending trust
magnates and tariff robbers to the cold
and grated cells? Hardly. OF that
fund of 100000 some $40 900 plus lies
moldering in the vaults of the treas
ury, and Philander, he who knocked off
the outer and public semblance of the
trust known as the Northern Securities
company, has quietly retired from the
fight. Trust busters, even to the ex-
tent of busting one trust, are not
wanted No other need apply. On
with the dance! Let trusts be uncon-
fined!

The action of the Democrats will COMPEL

AS to West Virginia.

The signs of the times indicate that
West Virginia Democrats are coming
into their own again. The nomination
of ex-senator Henry G. Davis for the
vice presidency seems to have aroused
them to state of greatest enthusiasm.
He is West Virginia's Grand Old Man
and has done more to develop and en-
rich the state than any other man,
living or dead They had great Dem
ocratic convention at Parkersburg and
nominated an unusually strong ticket
In the meantime the Republican party
in the state appears to be going to
pieces. A Republican nominee for cir
cult judge and a Republican nominee
for presidential elector have declared
for Parker and Davis, and the Repub-
licans are blue as indigo Republicans
have held West Virginia for ten years
by colonizing Virginia negroes. 1t is
said that at one election not long ago
a train load of colored repeaters were
hauled clear across the state in Il spe-
cial train and were voted at every
polling place on the route. But the
Democrats are preparing to prevent q
repetition of such an outrageous per-
Torrance by taking a poll of the col
ored men in the state in time to ascer-
tain who are and who are not entitled
to vote. Not only are the state admin
istration and the electoral votes of
West Virginia at stake in this contest,
but legislature is to be elected which
will elect a successor to Hon. Nathan
b.. Scott, Republican in the senate of
the United States. Personally Senator
Scott is an amiable man, but it would
do the hearts of Democrats everywhere
good to see him replaced by Hon. John
Z. AIcGraw, one of the best Democrats
in the mountain state. West Virginia
now has five Republican representa-
tives in congress. The chances are
good for the election of at least three
Democratic representatives this fall, a
contamination devoutly to be wished
Mr.. Roots fling at Senator Davis by
reason of his age appears to have acted
in the nature of a boomerang not only
in West Virginia, but elsewhere. The
newspapers have made Mr. Roots life
miserable by furnishing innumerable
instances of men much older than our
vice presidential candidate who have
performed great deeds and rendered
imDOrtant services.

Senator LODGE and Reciprocity.

Senator Lodge ana hSci ProCitys
Sensitive and aesthetic persons will
be greatly grieved to know that Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu-
sets is in hot water and is making the
fight of his life to be reelected to what
some individuals denominate 1.-THE most
august legislative body on earth" The
senator is a great scholar, prolific
author and, according to his auto
biography, was graduated from Har-
ward" He is the great apostle of
purity and sweetness in politics theo-
retically and the Republican boss of
Massachusetts in practice. 1t may
cause the soulful Observation-Disclosures
agony Of spirit to call him boss, but
he is as much one as Mr. Murphy Of
Tammany or as was the late Senator
Matthew Stanley Quay of Pennsyl-
vania.
What's in name? That which we call a
rose
BY any other name would smell as sweet.
Senator Lodge is the bosom erony
of President Roosevelt, and wicked
newspaper men about Washington
have gone so far as TO declare that at
great trouble and wear and tear Of
both body and spirit he, at an adj
vanced age, learned to ride horseback in
order to accompany Colonel Roosevelt
in his equestrian trips, which may or
may not be an invention Of the enemy.
However that may be, the senator is
learning to his sorrow that 1t is a most

The Widows Mite.

No doubt the Republican managers
wish most fervently that the widows
of all Republican multimillionaires
would follow the example of Mrs.
Mark A. Hanna, who has just sent her
check for $4,000 to the Republican
campaign committee of Ohio. In fact,
they would be delighted if the wives
of living multimillionaires would chip
in.

certainly did the proper thing, though
most men would not have manifested

fact on which it is to be commiserated.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1904-08-18

In the meantime the New York
Democrats are trying to induce ex-
Secretary Of War Daniel S. Lamont to
run for governor. Dan is the most
genial of mortals and declares that any
good Democrat can carry New York,

Science Finds New Animal

A beastie novel to biologists and all
other scientific lists is a cross be-
tween a dog and a raccoon and has
lately made a trip from northern ia
pan, it's fatherland, to the New York
geological gardens. The Japanese call
it a white fox and the American sci
entists say that it probably resem-
b1es white Arctic fox more than any
other creature, but they are christen-
ing it a raccoon dog. The director OF
the New York geological park finds a
puzzle in its habits, for all allied spe-
cies of animals are inclined to hiber-
nate in winter, and borrow suitable
bedrooms wherever found for their
winters nap, and when they do not
find a bedroom at hand they are fully
able to dig a burrow of their own. The
little alien from Japan, however, des-
pite severest winters cold, is up and
about with no drowsiness and has
such small, short and weak feet, with
feeble claws, that it is not fitted to
dig burrows. 1t is in general poorly
equipped for self-preservation, has
small, weak teeth, and needs a home
whose population includes no bears,
wolves or foxes.

made on children and adults, NJ. N
