Taxpayers are now getting their tax bills
and will have no trouble in seeing how the
the new order of things costs. You were
promised smaller taxes when the Spring and
Fall elections were merged! You were to be
saved the immense expense Of those use
less Spring elections, and you would be
happy in the fact that you would have no
trouble in selecting your candidates for
Freebooter, Assessor, Collector, Township
Committee, etc. You wasn't told who
would select these officials, but you have
found out. Mr. Watkins henchman came
TO ten men ia the township and asked to
have them sign a petition to make "BilI
Jones, Assessor Sam i Nobody. Collector,
etc etc. Ten voters signed the petition aud
and the Township Clerk did the rest
Taxpayer, did you miss that good old
fashioned Town Meeting, where you had
heart-to-heart talk with your township
servants? Where you told them what you
wanted done; where you had say as to
who should be nominated, and how your
hard earned dollars should be expended?
Do you like this secret method of nomin-
ating candidates two months before elect
ion?
Do you like this scheme Of centralizing
all political power in Boss in Wood
bury?
II you have enough Of the kind Of good
government the organization is giving you
there is just one method Of relief, vote for
candidates when are pledged to their repeal
The Democratic candidates.

washington LETTER,
WASHINGTON, %. O., Oct. ii. 100,

WASHINGTON, ~. u, Oct. A, 1905.
That there is not now any harmony be-
tween the recognized State leaders and the
administration is eyinced by the refusal of
President Roosevelt to go to the rescue Ct
the party in this Falls State elections. No
other Republican President has ever refused
to aid his party in State election.
Especially has this been true when the
party was in danger Of meeting with de-
feat, as is the Republican party Of New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. These
States are recognized as being Republican
States, and in former years the admins
tration regarded loss to the party as a
rebuke to the Republican President in
power. But President Roosevelt does not
appear to take this view of the situation.
He assumes the attitude of being wiser
than his party and refuses to support the
state machines. Especially is this true Of
Pennsylvania, where the Philadelphia ma
chine is attempting to iptrench itself
against the assaults Of the independent
Republicans and the Democrats
Previous to reentering the cabinet, secre
rotary of the State, Root. who is regarded
as the closest friend and ADVISOR Of the
President, made an open attack upon the
Philadelphia organization. He referred to
the Republican leaders in Philadelphia as
bo0dlers and thugs who were masouerading
as Republicans. This attack is looked
upon as coming virtually from the Pres
ident, and real expression Of the attitude
of the Republican administration. While
the appeals for help coming from New York
and Ohio were not met with such disfaYor
at the White House, it is stated that Sena-
tor Dick, who is chairman of the Ohio State
Committee, and Governor Odell, of New
York, received very little encouragement
from the President.

Letter to Woodbury. MIL and Lumber Co

Dear Sir: Do you want to sell Deyoe
leaG-and-zinc for your town and country?
The whole doctrine of it turns on these
three points
(1) 1t is all paint and true paint;
(2) It is the strongest paint;
l3) 1t is full measure
Because it is all paint, true paint, pro-
portioned for strength and full measure,
az Il takes least for jobs.
(2) Looks best all the time;
{3) Lasts longest;
{4) Gathers the trade, and holds Gus
toners.
There is no such argument for any other
paint; there is no other such paint; there
is nothing but talk for any other paint.
Deyoe is the paint, if you want the facts on
your side.
The country is full Of experiences; we
bring these experiences to bear on your
trade, if You sell Devoe
Yours truly,
F. F. DEyoE & Co,

MIR. Lawson is going to call great con-
vention of policy holders in life insurance
companies, and declares that before he gets
through with his disclosures there will be
from 100 to 15o big insurance men serving
from eight to fifty years in the peniten-
tiaries Of the country. And people are not
poo-hooing Mr.. Lawson's assertion like
they did year ago They couldn't believe
he was telling the truth when he started
his story Of ''Frenzied Finance" but the
broadest assertion that Mr.. Lawson made
about the methods of the eminent fnanciers
were marrow when compared with the facts
that have,since developed. It is probable
that the eminent financiers themselves will
hardly care to engage in any controversy
with Mr.. Lawson at this stage of the game.

The Constitution has taken considerable
space in recent issues to make it appear
that Senator Ferrell made no effort during
his Senatorial term to be Of service to his
constituents, and has published, with a
glow Of satisfaction, scurrilous paragraphs
from "Davyn Baird's personal organ up in
Camden.
1t should always be born in mind tbat
under the rule Of the Lentz, Baird, Dickin-
son gang who have ruled the legislature
since the Republican party has been in
power, measures fathered by Democratic
legislators were doomed in advance to
defeat, The legislature has not been a
deliberative body, and only the s'elect'' Of
the gang, every one of whom now has a
revolt on his hands in his own county,
more permitted to enjoy the distinction Of
having passed bill.
During his entire term Of Senator, Mr..
Terrell was always in his seat in the Senate,
and gave respectful attention to all de-
mands of his constituents. As to his votes
they were always recorded in favor Of
meritorlous measures, as it was uniformly
against bad measures.
Bills prepared by the Grange and by the
Fishermen 5 Association, received his hearty
support
Mr.. Ferrell opposed the Childs' Labor
bill as originally introduced in the House
fixing the limit at which children could be
employed at is years, and secured the
adoption Of an amendment fixing the limit
of IA years.
He opposed the compulsory oath and fee
features Of the same law that required the
parents of children seeking employment to
take oath and pay two fees for their own
and physicians affidavit, claiming that
people having children they desired to
have employed should not be required to
pay two fees for afidavits. Here is another
instance where Mr. Ferrell was friend Of
class who had no special representative
in the legislature.
Mr.. Terrell favored the appointment OF a
special labor inspector who should be prac-
teal glass worker, to inspect the glass
plants Of South Jersey.
Mr.. Terrell introduced the most impor-
tant labor bill presented to the legislature.
1t provided for arbitration in lieu of strikes
in all troubles between employers and their
employees, and provided system sug-
gested by the methods by which the great
anthrancite coal strike in Pennsylvania
was settled, by President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Terrell was not mixed up in any of
the legislative jobs for which legislatures
have recently been famous. A corrupt
lobby didn't have him by the coat tail, or
by the collar, either.
He didn't come home from Trenton at
the end of the session with his pockets full
Of corporation money, nor his skin full of
corporation wine, but the same courteous
gentleman that was elected three years
before, his clean personality unimpaired,
his honor unimpeached, and his integrity
unquestioned.
Neither s'Dayy" Baird's editor up in
Camden, nor ssDavy" Watkins editor here
in Woodbury., can detract one iota from
the position Thomas NJ Terrell holds in
the hearts Of the people of this county. nor
can they smirch his character nor make
him appear deadhead, nor demogogue
in the legislative business.

Camden's Republican newspapers having
laughed at the idea that that city has 5000
phantom voters, and the grand jury having
ignored the charge, Clarence B. Croft, pres
ident Of the Legal Voters League, and
other reformers, are out with cameras
taking snap shots Of places from which
voters are registered in Baird-town The
pictures secured include cornfeld, which
is claimed by the Camden assessors to be

Chief Justice Gummere has rendered
decision that no recount of votes cast at
primary elections is possible under the
general election law, that the general cleo
tion law does not apply to primaries. In
other words, if you are counted out at a
primary election there is nothing for you to
do but to take your medicine. And yet
very heavy expense is put upon the tax
payers of each county and township to
hold these elections which are in fact no
elections at all. Is it not about time that
Republican legislature were voted out for a
while? Ferrell and the whole Democratic
ticket ought to have rousing majority in
Gloucester county where the counting out
process was so fiagrantly exercised.

The Constitution says that Senator Fer
rell voted for the Primary election law in
1902. If this statement is just as true as
some Others in the Organization organ, it
isn't true. But it is fact that Mr.. Terrell
is against it now and if elected will endea-
yor to have it amended so that those who
practice fraud at future primaries may be
punished, or have ii repealed. That is the
important consideration now.

WINTER IN LAP OF SPRING
Frost And Snow From Southern
Missouri to Canada.
Damage to Fruit in Missouri VIII
Amount to Thousands of DOL
lars-CoId ia Texas.

Jefferson City, Mo, April Ire
ports received here indicate that frosts
and snow, which were general through
out Missouri last night, have done
thousands Of dollars damage to crops.
In some places in the state snow fell to
the depth Of two inches, and tempera-
lures Of from 5 to 10 degrees below the
freezing point have been reported.
The cold and snow N the north cen
trail portion of the United States estab-
lish almost a record for this season of
the year. Snow is reported over the
area from Buffalo, N. Y, to Helena,
Mont, and from near the southern
boundary of Missouri north in Cana
da. Killing frosts are reported over
the entire northern section Of the coun-
try, and freezing temperature was re-
corded as far south as the Pan Handle
Of Texas.
A dispatch from Louisville, KY,
says thousands of truck gardeners in
several states south of the Ohio river
are on the anxious seat again, as the
result of the cold snap, which is gen
eral throughout Kentucky, Tennessee,
Georgia, North Carolina and South
Carolina. AS the weather conditions
indicate freezing temperature at many
points in these states, only cloudy
weather can prevent heavy damage to
fruit and vegetables. The greatest ap-
prehension is felt in South Carolina,
where the crops are we'll advanced and
frost warnings have been issued. A
killing frost would mean the loss OF
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
farmers and gardeners.

President Roosevelt is the guest of

Forth Worth & Denver line.
Gov. Mcdonald and party met the
presidential special at the border of
the state and presented the strenuous
executive with an embossed license to

Advices from Southern Colorado
say the snow is two feet deep in the
locality of the presidential camp and
the fall continues. P. B. Wells, a
Meeker hunter, who arrived at New
Castle, says it took nearly five hours
to make the 20-mile ride from Camp
Roosevelt, and his horse was worm to
exhaustion when he reached here.
THE weather is at least three
weeks behind the normal, he said.
There has been an unusual fall of
snow here this winter, but not in ten
years have l seen the conditions so
bad as this at this season.
According to Wells the camp is now
in perfect shape 1t has been practi-
cally decided to track the game with
dogs and to follow with horses. This
is considered one of the most danger
Gus sports, and the bad condition of
the ground makes it doubly dangerous
now.

A GREAT RAILROAD MERGER
Union Pacific, New York Central
and Chicago s. Northwestern.
Consolidation VIII roduc h
Greatest Railroad System With
the Greatest Capital.

New York, April 17.-According to
the details Of the underwriting, the
greatest railroad bond issue ever made,
$3.50. ,000, 900 must be made by the
Union Pacific, to consummate its
merger with the New York Central
and the Chicago & Northwestern rail-
roads.
The consolidation will produce the
greatest railroad system in the world,
with the greatest capital. Its total OF
stocks and bonds will be greater than
the national debt of the United States.
There is not enough cash in the United
States to pay cash for the capitalized
value Of the system. The total mile
age of the system will be 1924.
The plan of the consolidation is all
underwritten, and the promoters are
merely waiting for a favorable time
to announce contamination of the
scheme. There is to be an issue of Is
per cent. Of stock made by each of the
roads to be absorbed. That issued by
the Chicago & Northwestern is to SO
as extra dividend to the stockholders.
That issued by the New York Central
will be sold to stockholders at 125, pro-
ducing S2S, 125, 900 cash, with which TO
make improvements already planned
on the system. The total stock of both
roads is to be purchased by the Union
Pacific with bonds. The Central stock
will be takent at 200 in 4 per cent.
bonds and the Northwestern at 300,
with a 31a per cent. bond. All Of these
bonds have been underwritten, and
enough stock of both systems is
pledged to vote for the plan to carry
it through.

within "a hours off the Formosa or

huge quantity of supplies and medi-
cines. Cables to the admiralty do not
mention any Russian wounded on
board the vessel.
Notice of an imperial order from
Toxic has been received here stating
that Making harbor on the Pesca-
