When MI. Stokes came to Trenton
he looked eve younger than his years,
thirty-one, and he was very reserved
and unassuming in his manner. He
sat in the last row in the old Assembly
chamber, near the door, and except to
answer roll call his voice was seldom
heard. One day toward the end of the
session the House was considering the
bill for the establishment of excise
boards in the local option counties of
South Jersey. The debate had been
Iong drawn out, the recess for luncheon
was due and everybody was hungry
and anxious to get away when ''the
boy member from Cumberland OBJ
tanned the floor. No attention was
paid to him when he began, but he
had not been speaking five minutes
before the chamber was hushed in
silence and everyone was hanging
~breathlessly on the eloquent words
which fell from the youthful lips. 1t
has been many a year since such fin
ished oratory had been heard in the
old chamber, and from that moment
the reputation of Edward Casper Stokes
was assured. The IeXt year he came
back to the house and during the ses-
sion made a few speeches which in
, 1904-10-26

would be a barren waste.
The rapidly growing suburban prop
erty wealth in New Jersey is due to
the same cause. The railroad opened
up the Orange mountains and built up
the Oranges, Montclair and other
beautiful places. 1t transformed Ber-
gen County from a sleepy agricultural
section into a region of suburban bor-
oughs. 1t made sandy South Jersey
blossom like a rose. 1t brought thou
sands ofmanufacturing enterprises into
the State. 1t built up towns and ham,
let's. Without the railroad in whole
regions in New Jersey, land would be
worthless for any purpose.
In short, the prosperity that is adj
mired by the Boston Transcript owes
its existence to the vast benefits the
State has received and is getting from
the railroads, benefits sthat make the
annual taxes paid insignificant by
comparison.
But the people of New Jersey know
how to bear prosperity as well as adj
versity. They feel that the big sur.
plus in the treasury should not be
maintained from year to year., but
should be put out in public improve.
ments or to help the municipalities.
Republican administrations have ex.
pended large sums for improvements
and for that sensible policy they are
now under the fire of Democratic criti
cism. With the Republican policy
outlined in the State platform they
are content. The legislation of the
next three years will be all that the
people a wish.-Newark advertiser

"DO IT TODAY"

The time-worn injunction, "Never
put off til tomorrow what you can
do today" is now generally present
ed in this form: "Do it today" That
is the terse advice we want to give
you about that hacking coug or de.
moralizing cold with which you
have been struggling for several
days, perhaps weeks. Take some re-
liable remedy for it today-and let
that remedy be Br. Boschee's Ger
man Syrup, which has been in use
for over thirty-five years. A few
doses of il will undoubtedly relieve
your cough or cold, and its contin-
ued use for few days will cure you
completely. No matter how deep
seated your cough, even if dread
consumption has attacked your
lungs, German Syrup will surely eff
feet cure-as it has done before in
thousands of apparently hopeless
cases of lung trouble. New trial

Triumphs of Modern Surgery

Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery. Or
gans are taken out and scraped and
polished and put back, or they may
be removed entirely; bones are
spliced; pipes take the place of di-
seased section of veins; antiseptic
dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries be-
fore Inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matu-
ration and in one-third the time re-
quired by the old treatment.
Chamberlain Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. 1t is an anti
septic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain
and soreness. Keep a bottle OF
Pain Balm in your home and 1t
will save you time and money, not
to mention the Inconvenience and

had many imitators. but this particular
school ~ fiction is not now in vogue.

that he would gladly welcome n new
