What are We Coming To /

What military contingency is the army
department. of our United States consider
ing in the near future, in the making into
law of the bill now before the New Jersey
legislature, which would compel military
service from each and every man in the
State of New Jersey between the ages of
eighteen and forty-five years, except only
those who are exempted from military duty
by state or federal enactment? What reason
is there at present for any such drastic and
arbitrary military service as this bill is
meant to compel? Is the United States of
America to be transformed from civil to
military power, which is always a despo-
tism, and If it IS, for whose glory and
benefit are these sweeping and most unre-
publican changes to be made?
Surely not for those men who on short
est notice are 20 leave their farms, Offices.
off anywhere and at any time on the &C.
casion of disputes and disturbances between
capitol and labor, or to become lannon's
flesh" as Napoleon aptIy termed it, to
further the personal ambition for glory
and military conquest Of few in power
who will reap the harvest should the cam
paign be successful? Were the men who
seek, or those who profit directly by the
horrors of war, the ones who are to be
principally affected by this military meas
ure, there would be no cause for protest.
But it is equivalent to, and is meant to be
equivalent to, a standing army, which is
a menace to the peace Of any community
which supports it.
Any set of men in the United States who
advocate the increase of her standing army
without definite and present need Of such
tax on the community, and hindrance to
the usual peac, full avoeatIons of her citi-
zens, are menace to the civil governments,
and consequently to the republican form of
government as prescribed in the constitu-
zion. What do they want the soldiers for?
Are they going to get the men ready and
then get upa war Are the soldiers to be
modified for the uses Of capital in its
struggle to force labor to its own terms as
has been done several times recently /? Let
the jersey men look beyond high sounding
titles and guilt buttons, TO the real mean
ing Of this most dangerous and unrepubli-
can inovatioa. NEMESIS.

washington's birthday celebrated.

The Americus Club, the Democratic or
ganization of the City of Camden. oele-
brated the birthday of the Father Of His
Country and the 18th anniversary Of the
Club by banquet in Temple Theatre ban
quet hall on Monday evening. The guest
of the evening was Congressman Wm. Ran
dolph Hearst, OF New York, and Congress
man Allan Benny, Of this state; Congress-
man Geo. f. Burgess, OF Texas; Congress-
man F. E. Shofer, OF New York; Assem-
blyman Swackhamer, of Somerset county;
James E. MARITIME, Of Union county, made
speeches. Mayor Nowery was POSTMASTER
and presided. Mr.. Hearst held reception
and after making a brief speech at the
opening Of the banquet, returned to WASH
ington. Congressman Burgess made the
speech of the evening, and for an hour held
the ose attention of the large audience
The toast to which be responded was
Democratic Opportunity" and his analy-
sis Of the political outlook was encourag-
ing TO Democrats. There are but four par
amount issues in the campaign on which
we are about entering, he said-The
Trusts, the Tariff, Colonialism and Honest
Government. He favored no candidate for
nomination, but assured the banqueters
that the National Convention that is to
meet in St. Louis July 9Th, next, would
make no mistake either in its statement of
principles and the true issues nor in the
selection OF candidate His references to
Cleveland and Bryan were both cheered to
the echo.
Congressman Benny's speech dea al
most entirely with Site issues. He re-
viewed the history of the party in this
State for the past twenty-five years, and
asserted that the reason we had been I'M
successful for the past nine years was be-
cause we had not been worthy of success
We need new State Committee, he said;
retaining enough of the old for counsel and
enlisting new blood for war. "The Spirit
of Democracy" was responded to by Assem-
blyman Swackhamer in stirring, earnest
half hours speech.
Congressman Skaters speech was largely
plea for the nomination Of Congressman
Hearst for president.
Among the 500 guests of the club were
representative Democrats from Cumber-
land, Salem, Burlington and Gloucester
counties, and northern counties of the
state, prominent among those noticed
was Leon Albeit, Jr., of Hudson; ex-Sena-
tor Gebhardt, Of Hunterdon; Senator Strim-
pie, of Salem; ex-Judge Cox and A. H.
Swackhamer, Esq, of Gloucester.
We desire to congratulate The Americus
Club on the success Of its effort both to do
honor to the memory of the greatest
American and to celebrate another mile
stone in its history. Mr.. John A. Smith,
President of the club, is entitled to espec-
ial credit for the perfection of all details of
the happy event.

zErlkat portion Of Supervising Principal
Frey's monthly report to the Board of
Education, published on our first page)
relating to the subject of test examination
prepared by The Society of Educational
Research, and submitted to the pupils of
Woodbury. schools, must interest every
parent in Woodbury.. The fact that our
schools have been raised to a standard that
permits them to rank with the best in the
country, is result which the Board of
Education, Principal and teachers have
been striving for, and that the first oppor-
tunity for comparison shows such results
STAINED is gratifying to all concerned.
This showing was not attained by acct
dent; wisely arranged courses of study and
systematic, hald work, are surely the foun-
dation of successful educational system.
These Woodbury. has had for the past five
years, and the GLOUCESTER COUNTY DEM
ocRAT would do Principal Frey and our
teachers an injustice did it Withhold from
them the credit that is theirs for the pres
ent standard of educational excellence in
Woodbury..
But the good work has just commenced
Under proper conditions Woodbury. can
easily stand at the head in all that makes
for well rounded, thorough public school
system. What has been achieved in the
past five years has been accomplished under
difficulties which proper school facilities
would minimize.
We believe Woodbury. is ready to give
its schools these necessary facilities.

Mrs. Roosevelt's Transformation of the

cost $500, 600 and the walls of the annex
already, in less than two years, show large
assures, and evident signs of disiutegration
In one place the plaster has cracked from
floor to ceiling. The ugly little box built
for the Executive office, which cast SOS. 90
when the White House was renovated, y
is now obviously crumbling away and will
probably have to be torn down within two
or three years.
