or suspend his right to throw the weight of his influence on the side of boss elimination and general reform in the party to which he belongs because he is President of the United States. And what an influence that is! It will be fearlessly used now and after the President lays down that office, for he is not the sort of man to let his faculties rust in the inglorious case of private life. We can have nothing ap- preaching such a leadership for the regeneration of the Republican party in New-Jersey. But contiguity will certainly bring to us a reflex influence of prodigious weight. And it is safe to predict that we shall find State leaders of the party equal to the oc- casion, in the equipment both of con- science and brain power A change of "bosses" is not what the friends of re- form in the Republican party in New Jersey demand A substitution of highminded, unselfish intelligent and courageous leaders for the rule of rna- chine politicians and corporation mer- cenaries is what is sought for, and the struggle between the powers of good
 and evil will continue until that happy consummation is reached. Pending.

 so the test of experience will soon ex-

DEVELOPING AN ART SPIRIT.

We are preaching continuously the necessity of developing an art spirit in this country as an offset to the domi- nant commercialism, and we are even going to the extent of importing a di- rector of the leading museum from the most successful European museum. Both of these are advisable, but surely tkev intimate our customary way of going at a thing from the top-as we did in the slavery question, to instance the largest--a1d surely they do not promise the formation of a better taste nor familiarity with better things. The most obvious method of improving the national taste, of encouraging an Ameri- ican art, has been neglected, has even been legislated against. It appears that this neglect is to be lighted, if the American Free Art League can obtain its ends.
 As all Americans know, the tax upon imported art is tremendous; is, in prac- tical effect prohibitive This is to say, that we want no art standards, and therefore no art, in this country. As a conseuuence in accord with the Ding ley tariff and preceding similar bars, we have had no models, no standards, and therefore a taste which was ob- viously immature and a spirit which struggles against the difficulties of a vacuum. There are Americans who own valuable. invaluable objects of art, They bring them into this country, as did Mrs. Jack" Gardner. under pre- tence of making them public exhibits, or they store them in London quarters, as does J. Pierpont Morgan, waiting until the bars are thrown down. Europe, of course, is very glad of this. The treasures remain there. if the own ership does pass. But the plan is ut terly absurd. Our lectures and our teaching and our museums are in vain
The daily morning journal and courier., 1905-12-14

unless we can have daily familiarity with the best things.
 The American Art League has form ed itself to this end; the removal of the duty on works of art. No one wants it there, except the wise men of Congress, who see in these imported treasures a means of swelling the na- tional revenue. The artists certainly do not want it there, as protection against foreign competition" Every American artist is on the side of free art since these know that their own work will sell only when the American people are able to appreciate. and dis criminate. There cannot be a market without public taste. And there can not be formed public taste without suggestions and corrections from &C., knowledged good examples. We must buy our taste before we develop it.-St. Paul Despatch.

MEANWHILE THE PEOPLE WILL
 LEAD.

We regret to find few of our New
 Jersey Republican contemporaries, of whom better things might be expected,
 inclined to treat the movement in this State for franchise limitation, equal taxation, lobby extirpation and the
 general purification of our politics and
 government with levity or distrust,
 and to regard 1t as mere play to the galleries" by a set of leaders who are at bottom no better than those whose rule of the party they seek to supplant. It is charged by some that these new men are planning and posing" sim ply for their own aggrandizement. We have already more than once allured to imputations of this kind. In our judgment they either come from sources which at heart are hostile to the new leaders and the cause they represent, or from persons of right meaning, but who have been deluded by the crafty enemies of reform into the acceptance of the degrading theory we have re- ferred to. There is really no present reasons to suspect that the principal promoters of the movement for party

The Contrast
The world is just as beautiful
And nature just as fair
And blessings just as plentiful
And love is everywhere,
As in the days when were young,
And life seemed made for pleasure,
When not a song left unsung,
Nor stinted in its measure.
But, oh, we miss the dear old friends.
The sweet familiar faces.
The new ones cannot make amends
Nor fill their vacant places.
We miss their loving words of cheer
That ushered in each morrow,
Inc tender. Sympa rhiZing tear
In winter days OF sorrow
We miss the footsteps at the door.
The touch of loving fingers,
And, though ne'er shall see them more
their presence with fingers
The flowers they loved, suggest each
spring
Some tender recollection
And autumn, with its glories. brings
Sweet thoughts of their affection
When Amerthystine rays unite
With gold and amber huSheS-
And twilight, with its mellow light,
Is bathed in crimson bushes
We think of those who passing on,
Are lost to mortal vision
We loved them so, and yet We know
They're safe in fields Elysian-

Southern Women in War Time.

We had one cotton mill to spin the
warp The people stood in line to
get bunch of cotton for warp. The
filling was yarn, cotton, flax and tow.
We got our dyestuff from the forest;
it was almost as bad on timber as the
tanbark trade is now. There was
great rivalry among the women to see
who could have the prettiest dress. l
have a quilt made of cotton and linen,
called a Confederate" quilt.
The clothing for every member of
the family was made from the raw
material, carded, spun, woven, dyed
and made with homespun thread.
The tow linen cloth had one pecul-
iarity. 1t was a great stretcher. 1t
was often exchanged for other things.
A man and his wife started to town
with cloth sufficient to get some arti-
cles; on the way he remembered he
needed a gimlet also; he told his wife.
They decided to tie the ends of the
cloth to two saplings, he to stretch a
gimlet out of it.
1 took great interest in the silk in
dustry- We fed the worms on null
berry leaves, and such beautiful silk
we did have-a bright stripe in a
cotton dress made it very fine. A
family made gloves, beautiful silk
mitts, with bees embroidered on the
back Nothing went to waste The
thorn trees furnished us pins and
hairpins. Our millinery was our
GROWING effort. Hats were made OF
cotton thread crocheted, put on a
block, stretched very stiff and ironed

and all kinds of material for trim

commander-in-chief Kinq.

Commander-in-Chief King is a ma
tive of Maryland and a splendid type
of those unflinching loyalists of the
Border States who remained true to
the Flag amid all the trials to which
they were subjected. At the age of
II he enlisted in the sixth Maryland
volunteers, and with his regiment fol-
lowed the fortunes of the Third and
Sixth Army Corps in the campaigns of
the Army of the Potomac to the close
of the war. He was prisoner of war
three times, being disabled for life.
After the close of the war Comrade
King, in the face of a hostile local
sentiment, took an active part in the
organization of the Boys in Blue"
which was afterward merged into the
Grand Army of the Republic, of which
he was one of the earliest members,
being Past Commander of old Dittman
Post, No L, afterward becoming a
member of Wilson Post. No. L, where
