JOKE ON THE JAILER.
Bertha Keller Had Negro Dressed
as WOman--Puzzied Jai!er.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. BIS
"Oh, Mr.. Rogers, come quick, there is
a strange colored woman in here and
we are afraid" shouted Bertha Kel-
Ter from the woman's department of
the MiddleseX county jail yesterday
to Jailer Rogers.
The iailer hurried around to the
department and found the womaI
parading around with a small satchel
in her hand. 3
Unable to get anything from the
woman as to who She was or where
she had come from, he returned to
his desk and tried to find out when
she had been committed. She GER
tainly had not been there earlier in
the morning and he could find nc
commitment for her. No one had
seen the woman enter. The jailer
was mystifled as to how she had
broken into the Jail. The PAPER
mache roof vas intact.
Then Bertha and her companions
began laughing. The j%ailer's sus-
picions we're aroused. He found that
the supposed woman was a man
.masquerading in woman's clothes.
The masquerader proved to be Joe
Upton, a negro witness who is being
held in the witness department in
connection with the charge of muir
der against Thomas Dade. The wit
ness department is just above the
woman's department, and while there
is a paddock on the door the paddock
is generally left unlocked in the sta
Pile during the day. Bertha Keller
had opened this door. called Joe
down stairs and dressed him up in
some clothes which the women of the
department produced. She and her
companions thought that it was. a
great lark.
Jailer Rogers says he was just on
the point of ordering the supposed
woman out of the jail when the joke
was discovered.

vA L u people can lose nope Wnle tner courts ad JurleS remain
u~nblemished and administer justice fearlessly and unrelent-
ingly. United States senators and representatives who, re-
lying on the loose ideas of honesty pervading their environ
ment, have betrayed the trust of the people find that no perverted SEN
from the fate Of C0MMO MALEFACTORS.
The easy going disuse of political privileges by honest citizens falls
far short of a willingness on their part to overlook or tolerate a vile
traffic in votes o. a abominable bartering away of the peoples inter-
eds in places of trust.
An army of teachers in our schools and colleges are by their lives
of self sacrificing and conscientious devotion to the cause of education
making UNREMITTING PROTEST against prevailing selfshness
and avarice. =
From many thousands of pulpts throughout the land is ceaselessly
enforced the inspired assurance Nbetter is a little with righteousness
than great revenues WITHOUT RIGHT.
1t is possible that the expression tanned money" originated in a
somewhat fanciful idea, but i'll American Technology it will always
suggest the moral senshiveness and redemptive qualities of American
character.
1t may be that directors of organizations who have invited the
confidence of the people and who have NEGLIGENTLY OR VI
CIOUSLY betrayed their trust will not thereby lose caste among their
fellows in the guild of riches; but there are millions of their country
men who will persist in measuring their conduct by the plain, simple
standard of moral recttude.
The American character has received no DISABLING wounds
or hurts. 1t can be relied upon to save our institutions, if its moral
fiber is not further weakened by the creeping corrosion of greed or
wicked neglect ,
AND THESE CANNOT OCCUR IF THE MASSES OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE WATcHFUL, FAITHFUL TO THEIR GREAT
TRUST AND IN ALL THINGS PATRIOTIC.

Manufacturing Methods
OF Germany and America
BY CHARLES NJ. scHwAR, President of the Bethlehem steel corpor

49, on get some idea of the difference in practical ideals Of
Germany and the United States in conversing with man
y s s4.sin. m 1 5hs hSsfif,3 s oP o1r hf success fns e dsl lsas
dwels upon the unapproachabe QUALITY of his work.
The American is apt to boast that he produces, say, five locomotives a
day, The German would rather boast that he produced one locomo-
tive a day, but the best locomotive in the world, So it is through the
whole range of industry. ~
L suppose that it is only natural that our attention should have
supply of cheap products, because our national growth has been so
great and so swift. There has been nothing seen like it before in hui
man history. And it is only proper that the United States should have
credit for bringing the steel industry to a point, both as to supply and
price, which made possible the present movement for THE RECON
STRUCTION OF THE WORLD ON A STEEL BASIS. The
glory of that can never be taken away from us. 1t may be that we
have not developed an art or a science as great as that of Europe. But
own time; and America has certainly broadened the foundations of
the worlds industrial life and has in that way contributed to the COM
fort and betterment of humanity.
But, having mastered the problem of immense AND ECONOM-
ICAL production, we are now face to face with the question raised
by Germany, with her scientific spirit and technical schools. We have
the best supply of raw materials in the world. We have the most en-
ergetic and intelligent population in the world. There is no reason
why we should not now address ourselves to the question of the
HIGHEST WORLD STANDARDS in everything.
We are apt to forget that the world is constantly seeking for the
best, that we cannot make anything TOO GOOD for the market.
WE CAN OVERCOME COMPETITION IN TWO WAYS; ONE is
BY SELLING CHEAPER AND THE OTHER is BY MAKING BETTER.
THERE is NO REASON WHY WE SHOULD NOT LEAD THE WORLD
IN BOTH. lE%

The Effective Boycott In China
BY Captain A. C. BAKER of the United States Cruiser Raleigh

BY Captain A. C BAKER of h United States Cruiser Raleigh
L is nonsense to talk of the boycott as dying out The CONNER
cMl situation in the south of China Is absolutely at the mercy
- of the guilds. There are seventy-one of these, and they con-
troll trade with an iron hand, and they have given orders
NOT TO HANDLE AMERICAN GOODS.
American houses in Canton are full to the roofs with -four, and
they cannot bulge it. In the meantime Australian merchants arc
chartering everything they can get their hands on to rush their infe-
rnr -four into the market to take advantage of OUR difficulty.
Not only the Australians, but the japanese also, are taking advan-
tage of the boycott to get our business. Cotton mills are being estab-
lished in China BY JAPANESE HOUSES, and, with cheap labor
and no transportation charges, they are in a position to drive us out Of
the field. They will also develop the steel ore of Korea and probably
the oil. In this way our vast kerosene and steel business there will be
taken over BY III JAPANESE
THE ONLY THING THAT COULD RAISE THE BOYCOTT WoUL
BE TO REscIND THE CHINESE EXCLUSION LAWS, AND THIS, C
COURSE, WILL NOT BE DONE. 1T LOOKS AS THOUGH OUR sUs ,
NESS RELATIONS WITH CHINA WERE DOOMED. THE BOYCOTT /
is GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY THERE.
