The Mystery Of Pagan, Mayor Of JefSe,
City.

There never breathed a more determined
fighter for honesty and deceney in politics
and a fair deal for the people than Mayor
Mark Pagan of Jersey City, who was elect
ed for third term last fall in the teeth of
both machines, and with his hand openly
turned away from the bosses, who had been
trying to purchase him for three years.
Lincoln Steffens, in the January Me-
C5uye's, tells the strange story Of Mark
Fagan-how poor boy, with little or no
education, he grew into an honest man, and
finally into that very unusual phenomenon,
an honest politician.
This story from Mr.. Steffens, is more
dramatic than fiction, and stranger. It is
full of mystery. Pagan is man of modest
ability, and yet he did his work with unus-
nal persistence and sanity. Nobody pre-
cisely understood the reason not even the
people Of Jersey City. Mr.. Steffens has
discovered the reason. He has solved the
mystery. Both the mystery and the solu
tion are extremely interesting.

Opposed to Vaccination.

a circular just issued by the Montreal
Anti-V Vaccination Society gives, among
Others, the following reasons for the stand
taken against compulsory vaccination:
Vaccination means the poisoning of the
blood. Il is the introduction into the cir
culation Of toxic puspoison that exudes
from running sore. Those vitality strong
are able to resist its influence, and appar-
emily recover without noticeable harm, but
many suffer severely, and pneumonia, diph-
iberia, and scarlet fever are only few of
the diseases that are often produced as after
results of the lessened vital strength and
polluted blood that vaccination frequently
causes. And this statement applies in large
measure, it is felt, to all sernms which are
produced from artifcially diseased animals
Smallpox is only possible to those who
closhe heavily, bathe infrequently, eat very
heartily, and exercise very rarely. 1t is
the accumulation Of impurities in the blood
and the inability Of the inactive pores of
the skin to assist IN the elimination that
give this disease its victims. Smallpox,
when treated properly, is easily and
quickly curable The medical pro-
fession, through class legislation, has made
itself inassailable. Millions Of human lives
have been sacrificed to hallow superstitions
which are abandoned only as they become
questionable. Certificates Of death due to
vaccination are labelled serysipelas, =
consumption, . blood poisoning, infant
Debility Throughout the civilized world
at the present time the vaccination deIusicn
is almost eyerywhere in full sway
The Herald Of Health, estimates that ten
millions Of dollars are paid to physicians in
England annauly which would not be paid
if the law did not enforce vaccination.

reached the tracks the Maurice RIVER express
that passes Woodbury. at $40 struck her,
and hurled her body against the iron post
at the end of she iron fence that divides
the tracks, and keeps passengers from
crossing the tracks except at the opening.
So great was the force Of the impact that
the iron post was badly bent. Death must
have been instantaneous.
