The announcement that John G. Ward
has been made to resign his $25OO posi-
tion as Chief Factory inspector, by Gov
Murphy will not make the Demo-
Gratis of Salem county mourn. Since he
has held his sinecure position the last
seven years it was his duty to see that
the child labor law was enforced. Under
his administration there were practically
no prosecutions and this led to consider
able complaint from labor organizations.
The management of his department was
practically taken out of his hands some
months ago and given owe to the Gov
ernor's private secretary John L. Swayze,
who is q lawyer. The hardest duty Mr..
Ward has done since he held Office, be-
sides drawing his salary was to get the
Jews in Pittsgrove Township to vote the
Republican ticket at each election, SO as
to reduce the Democratic majority to
about 80 where it use to be $50. Mr..
Ward has been well rewarded by his
party and has no cause to complain, now
that he has been forced to resign because
of failure to do his duty.

some Women Who Said They Would
Never Vote, and the Funny Trans-
formation They Underwent When
They Got the Chance.
Mrs. Ida M. Weaver, Of Boise, des-
criDed the workings OF equal suffrage
in Idaho at the recent National Suf-
frage Convention in Washington. Mrs.
Weaver is the wife Of the Adjutant-
General Of Idaho. She said:
1.-The equal suffrage amendment was
adopted In Idaho by a majority Of al
most two to one, and IL the question
were submitted again I believe 1t
would be unanimous.
There were some women who were
highly conservative before the ballot
was granted. and we thought we
should never get them to vote; but let
such q woman have ON the ticket q
member OF her immediate family or
n Of her friends, and she will come
out on time. One dear little woman
in Boise wept when the judges de-
cided that equal suffrage had been
legally carried, but at the next cleo
ton her husband was a candidate for
councilman. and it Is said that she
was the first woman who voted. AN
other woman, when / asked her to
give Is cents to help carry the amend
ment. said. 81 would rather give a
dollar to defeat you" After suffrage
was granted. she was our first city
clerk.
AT our first State election in which
women voted, q woman was chosen
State superintendent of Public In
struction, and she has raised our
schools to ., higher standard than they
ever reached before. A woman form
erly very conservative Is on the Board
of Regents Of the State University.
She 10 believed 10 be the second wo-
man In the United States to hold such
q position. In consequence Of equal
suffrage, our jails have been renovated
and the law that formerly licensed
gambling has been repealed. One
thing In very noticeable: when we get
together and caucus for q nominee.
the men always ask. VIII the women
" u8mk IL 10 HOW HuUWQ CQdE
the women, irrespective OF party. Will
unite against any man Of notoriousIy
bad morals.
1T has been made an objection to
equal suffrage that the bad women
would vote. / can only speak Of my
own city. The bad element there is
large, but they r the hardest women
in the world to get to the polls. It
takes a great deal OF money and urg-
ing to bring them out. One candidate
did once try TO get the bad women to
vote for him. He brought them to the
polls very late, in order that the good
women might not hear of 1t and bury
him under their superior numbers. He
was defeated, ! am glad TO say; and
now that man could not be elected to
the lowest Office in the city"
Mrs. Weaver brought with her let
tiers testifying to the good effects Of
equal suffrage, from Governor Hunt
Of Idaho. the Chief Justice, and other
prominent persons.

Mr.. Bryan ON His European Travels.


Rev. JIM. Buckley in Christian Advocate.
Nj. William J. Bryan, who ran for
President twice, and whose first nomina-
ton was probably the result of his ora
torical power, is, as our readers probably
know, travelling in Europe. After hear
ing him for two hours and a half on a
literary occasion and on an August day,
while sitting on a hard bench within a
few feet of him, and disagreeing with
him in almost everything he said, we
were yet enchanted, and afterward de-
cIared that there had been few orators
equal to him in the history of this coun-
try; for which a subscriber wrote declar-
ing that we did not know oratory when
we heard it. He has been invited to a
great many dinners and there have been
contests of oratory and wit between him
self and Mr.. Choate. Both in England
and France his oratory is commended in
the very highest degree. and in praising
the recent speech of Lord Rosebery
probably the greatest extemporaneous
orator that England now has or has had
since the death of Mr.. Gladstone) at the
unwilling of a memorial to Macaulay,
The London Times couples Mr.. Choate
and Mr.. w. J. Bryan as Americans
whose style of oratory is stamped with
the mark Of a fine literary tasteo and
who command "a wide range of literary
allnsion." 1.-THE Tines goes further
and says that besides Lord Rosebery,
Mr.. Morley is the only English speaker
who may be ranked with these We
have never noticed an extraordinarily
vide range Of literary aIlusion in Mr..
Bryan's speeches, but regard him as an
orator who would be the idol of all the
rank and file Of any political party to
which he might belong. Had he be-
lopgod TO the party which defeated him.
- y Of the Irish members OF Congress
sid about another, he never would have
bpon defeated.

William R. Hearst, editor of the New

for the Democratic nomination for Presi-

1900, when all other so-called democratic
editors failed to measure up to true
democracy, makes him the most deserv-

party, OF all who have been mentioned
for the nomination.

signs of a machine forming in the State
Board of Education, and says the next
Legislature is to be asked to pass a law
providing for an Inspector of High
Schools. Our State educational system
is the last place to foster a machine, and
instead Of multiplying useless Offices, the
Legislature had better kill the snake if it
can be located. Register. The
signs are that the machine has already
been formed in the State Board Of Educa-
ton and that David Baird, of Camden,
turns the cranks in the Board to his
whims.

Several newspapers are pointing to the
fact that none of the Vice Presidents OF
the United States who have hitherto be-
come President by accident-Tyler, Fill

nominated to succeed himself as Presi-

nou of the fate that may be in store for
President Roosevelt. But then Mr..
Roosevelt is not like any other Vice
President and conditions are different.

the villain, off the stage, restores the
sight of the artist and reunites the long
separated couple in the last act.
Of this archaic plot told in lines mag
nifcently level and Astounding in repetf-
ton, the Ferris Stock company at the
Lyceum theater makes enough to leave us
grateful that the company has been so
greatly strengthened for the winter sea-
son. Staged with that intelligence and
attention to detail most marked since
Lawrence Barbour came to the Lyceum,
and set with good taste, the weeks bill
is made possible largely thru the efforts
of Ben Johnson in the role Of Arthur
Eastman, the artist, and Grace Hayward
as the artists wife, who becomes the wife
Of the Hon. Talbut Vane while believing
her first husband to be dead. The finale
of the second act where, thru the med
ding Of a shrewisf stepsister, Hester
Eastman, Arthur Eastman's wife is driv-
en- from their country refuge, and the
blind artist and his little son are made
to follow into terrible storm, Is eff
fectively done.
Little Clark Marshall, Minneapolis boy
Of some seven summers, successfully
made his debut as the artists young son,
and Lewis S. Stone, who has done all
things well since coming to the company,
greatly strengthens the production by his
playing Of the son grown into famous
manhood.
With one or two exceptions the situa-
tons are forced to such an extent and the
play Is so tiresomely talky as to furnish
excuse for the apparent lack of enthusi-
asm exhibited by the players.

IMMIGRATION FROM ITALY

New York is beginning to wonder II
Italy isn't nearly depopulated. For sew
eraI years Italian Immigrants have been
arriving at that port by the hundreds OF
thousands, until it seems as tho there can
be but few left In the little country over
the seas Italian immigration has again
set in, however, early as it is in the year,
and the prospects are that there will be
greater numbers coming from that coun-
try during the present year than ever be-
fore Ten thousand have arrived during
the last two weeks, and 5000 more are
expected any day. Information from
abroad is to the effect that every steam
ship that is to sail from Italian ports dur
ing the next three months has had every
zach of space engaged for immigrants,
and many thousands who cannot get pas
sage from Italy will go over to Germany
/ and come on German ships. A good many

went over last fall to spend the winter

AT THE THEATERS
Bijou-"Our New Minister"


After period of riotous melodrama in
which all traditions Of the stage are torn
to pieces by a fusiade of revolver shots,
fired continuously by the assembled COM
pany, the sun of legitimate drama once
more shines at the Bijou and the normal
portion Of the theater's clientele retofces
in seeing something that can be assini
lated without wrencl1ing the constitution.
When Denman Thompson and George
W. Ryer sought to repeat the enormous
success of "The Old Homestead they
naturally built along lines in which they
had succeeded. ''Our New Minister"
however, contained so little that is novel
in thought or treatment that one is not
surprised because the latter play re-
manned SO long on the market uncalled
for. ~. I
But just as s"The Old Homestead and
"Way Down East" have remained strong
in favor because of their faithful draw
ing Of rural characters and the whole
someness of the atmosphere in which the
story is told, so "Our New Minister ap
peals to those who want to see, skillfully
played, something which we can believe
really happened and which will leave with
us better thoughts Of things instead Of a
bad taste in the mouth.
It may be that the violent contrast Of
fered by "The Queen Of the White
Slaves last weeks bill at the Bijou, and
| the present charming, altho un-nove
/ picture of New England village life, ac-
| counts in large part for the favor will

Buffalo, N. Y.
De Forest Porter, one Of the best
known advertising men in western:
New York, has the following to say.
regarding his experience in Buffalo:
yes, I have been writing Buffalo:
advertising for quite a number of
years and have had charge Of the
advertising for the H. A. Medium
company. the William Hengerer COM.
pany and the Sweeney company.
II have found, as is the experience:
of nearly everybody who directs the.
publicity Of a department store, that
the surest and most profitable invest
ment Is the liberal use of newspaper
space. I advise continued systematic
advertising, and I believe that a def
mite space in a newspaper is an ad-
vantage to the advertiser. I believe,
too, that the daily store news of a
department store can be made SO in
tense1y interesting that many read
ers Of the paper will turn to it every
day and consider 1t one Of the first
duties Of the morning or evening to
become posted on what Is going on
at the store. I do not believe in ad-
vertising just for the sake of adver-
Using, and I would never use a line
of space unless I had something to
tell. I would use all the papers In
city if my business was large enough.
| "As a few broad principles for sue
cessful advertising, I would say: Don't
use space unless you have some spe-
cial thing to offer; make attractive
display; conform to an individual
style; always make good every adver-
tised claim; use good, up-to-date
Illustrations; state your story plainly;
tell what special merit your goods
possess, or why you can sell at such
a low price. Don't crowd the matter
and keep persistentIy at it-such pub

tile destination is the essential condi-
tion Of contraband OF. war. Our gov
eminent admits every Important fact in
this question of contraband. In its
Spanish war code it laid down the ra-
tional and modern law on the subject as
backed by precedent and the most in
telligent practice. The court Of prize
and the captor are subject to the laws
Of evidence and definite laws Of proceed
ure as in the case Of other courts Of
lawful jurisdiction. The captor can get
no more than the rational Interpretation
of the laws of evidence permits. He
cannot assume that anything is destined
for enemy's use or has belligerent des-
tination unless he has proof. Even the
Russian Interpretation, as revised, is
that irregularity Of ship s papers or
other suspicious circumstances, might
vitiate the assumption Of innocent char
acter, but where such suspicion is raised,
the burden of proof to warrant legal
seizure is to rest upon the captor.
