One of the other conventions,
that of the Spanish War Veter-
ans, took action that will be sure
to arouse considerable protest
from many good people all over
the country. They unanimously
and unreservedly moved for the
reestablishment of the canteen
in the army and pledged them
selves to work for a bill with
this end in view as soon as Con-
gress meets.

Be SURE YOU'RE REGISTERED,

should personally see that his name
is on the list.
Next Tuesday is the only registra-
ton day before the primaries, in cit
les of less than 10000 population,
according to the attorney generals
opinion, and unless a citizen is regis
tered he cannot vote.
1t will not do to leave this matter
to be attended to by some politician
or friend. There is too much at
stake this year to run any risk.
To be sure the Board of Canvass
ers are supposed to the city
and arrange their list, yet they are
liable to make a mistake or omit
some me-.
Be sure that no mistake or Omis-
sion is made with your name.
Remember all the machinery of
party government is in the hands o.
Boss Strong's ring" in this county.
This ring is fighting for its life
this year and it behooyes every voter
to see that no ground is left for any
dispute on technical grounds.
1t is not probable that any mis-
takes will be made Intentionally, but
that will not remedy matters II a
voter goes to the primaries Septem-
Der 25 and finds his name is not on
the list.

KEEP WHAT is GAINED.

Where are the bishops and the
clergymen this fall in the agitation
over the new excise law, commonly
known as the Bishops Law"
Last winter these leaders in reli-
gious work labored hand in hand to
get the bill on the statute books. 1t
is true that the measure as passed
was not the bill that was drawn up
by the bishops, but it has succeeded
in closing practically every saloon in
the state on Sunday and has been the
means of doing away with the back
rooms" in saloons.
This is a great deal along the line
that the best people of every COM
munity labored for, and now that it
has been accomplished they should
lend every influence to keep it.
So effective is the ley law that we
find the liquor men fighting hard for
the repeal of the measure. The labor
unions, in some instances, have TAX
en- up the cry and would-be candi-
dates are being questioned regarding
their attitude toward the law.
All this means that the element
opposed to the Bishops Law" will
either do what it a to defeat the
party which passed the bill or will
fight for its repeal at the next ses-
sion of the legislature.
In the meantime what are the
friends of the measure doing? II the
law was worth fighting for before il
was passed, it is not equally worth il
now that it is on the statute books?
If it was not wrong for the clergy
to dabble into politics and preach
sermons in order to influence the
voters to make it a law, it is no more
wrong to dabble into politics enough
to keep the law where it is.

BUY STAMPS HERE.

The plea made by the Jersey City
Journal to help boom that city ap-
plies very fercibly to Perth Amboy.
This city, like the Hudson county
metropolis. has a large number of
factories the main Offices of which
are in New York. The government
bases it's estimate of a city upon the
business done in the sale of stamps
at the p~ostofIice. If all the stamps
used by the various concerns which
have factories here were bought in
Perth Amboy, the local p%ostoitice
would be considerably advanced, and

vor to win their votes for the nomi-
nation.
These candidates for the nominal
ton would appeal direct to the peo-
pie, and when primary day comes
around, instead of voting for dele
gates to a convention pledged to
nominate this man or that, THE
PEOPLE WOULD VOTE FOR THE
MAN HIMSELF, and the one receive
ing the most votes would be the
nominee.
COULD ANYTHING BE SIMPLER
AND COULD THE WILL OF THE
MAJORITY BE ATTAINED MORE
EASILY?
There would be no such thing as
sending delegates unpIedged. When
IL delegate is not pledged the people
lose their power to nominate. An I'M
pledged delegate is free to ignore the
peoples wishes and to obey the
bosses.
A direct primary law solves the
problem of bOSsism and the reform
crs will pass such u law if given IL
majority in the Legislature. The
means the end of their power.

A 1T OVER"

One of the favorite reasons given
by those who hesitate to openly join
in the reform movement is that they
are afraid it is only a case of down
ing one machine and its boss to build
up another machine with IT'S boss.
Anyone who holds this idea speaks
without learning what the reform
movement stands for. There is one
plank in the CoIby-Fordyce platform
which should be thoroughly UNDER
stood and emphasized. 1t is the plank
pledging the candidates to pass a law
providing for the DIRECT PRIMAR-
les.
A direct primary means that there
will he no such thing as political con-
ventions i'm county affairs. Ii places
the nomination of all candidates d.
RECTLY IN THE HANDS OF THE
PEOPLE.
Instead of going to the primaries
to choose delegates to IA convention,
the voters go to the primaries to
choose men for nomination.
Under the present primary law the
voters elect 1OS delegates in Middle
sex county, who are entrusted by the
people to nominate the candidates
for office.
ALL THE POLITICAL BOSS HAS
TO DO UNDER THE PRESENT
SYSTEM, THEREFORE,, is TO GET
CONTROL OF A MAJORITY OF
THE 1Os MEN AND HE CAN DC
TATE WHO SHALL BE NOMINAL
ED.
But if there were no delegates ut
all and the people nominated the can-
didates themselves, how would the
bosses and their machines keep con-
troll?
is IT NOT EVIDENT THAT BOSS
ISM AND "RING" RULE WOULD
BE AT AN END?
This being so, if the Peformers pass
a law creating a direct primary, how
can they be building up a machine
with bosses of their own?
THE LAW WHICH PUTS THE
PRESENT BOSSES OUT OF BUSI-
NESS WOULD KEEP ALL OTHER
WOULD-BE BOSSES OUT.
Under a direct primary, such as
the reformcrs favor, much of the
red tape in politics would be done
away with and the expense of cleo
lions would be greatly reduced.
For instance, in the present cam
paign in Middlesex county, with a di-
rect primary law, any person who de-
sires to he state senator would SO
declare himself and he wo,,id then

BURCLAR RS RODE
IN CA RRIA GE
They Sg1enf Abouf In a Hond-
some Vehicle While Rob
biGG Apartments.

Three Of the most Industrious bur
glars that ever fell into tie hands Of
the police have been taken to head
quarters from the Harlem police court,
says the New York Herald. They adj
nit they are the men who have been
ransacking the fats of Harlem to such
an extent that some tenants were
afraid to enter or leave their own
apartments, while others migrated to
neighborhoods less popular with the
fraternity. In the manner in which
they would sweep a fat clear of ev-
erything that could be sold and in the
extraordinary frequency OF their visits
they broke all records.
William Hall, or Call, or Mulcaire.
the ringleader, admits about 400 bur-
glaries within the last two years. For
Detective Sergeant D. G. Riley he
identified twenty-five places he had
robbed within the last two months and
told where he had disposed of his loot.
His raids were made generally in the
daylight and always with the aid of a
carriage, he said. In three montL.
there has been scarcely a day that Hal
and his two partners have not hired {.
carriage for the purpose of carrying
off their booty.
Sometimes they used coupe, bU.
more often they hired a stylish T cart,
with a convenient locker under tie
rear folding seat for slowing their
plumber.
Halls assistants were Fred Martin,
man unknown to the detectives, and
Stephen. Hazen, a youth Of twenty, a
nephew of a wealthy and prominent
resident of the Bronx. Hazen has but
six months experience in this work,
though he has been arrested before on
a charge of assault. He was an en-
ployee at a storage warehouse at a
salary of $25 a week.
Martin, good looking, erect young
man of light complexion, was the
driver of the plumber cart or carriage.
Hall planned and executed the thefts,
and Hazen used to help carry the loot
to the carriage.
All three took a hand at pawning
the plumber. Halls plan was to watch
for fats where the curtains We're
drawn. He would ring the fats bell
to make sure it was empty and then
gain admission to the house by a ring
at the bell of another fat, Martin
would stay on watch on the box of the
carriage, and Hazen would wait be-
low until the fat had been cleaned out
by Hall, who generally broke in the
front door and then helped carry the

A CARRIAGE.
goods down to the carriage. They rare
" drove off until they had taken every
thing salable. Speaking of a recent
robbery, Hall said that they made five
trips upstairs for plumber On the last
trip they heard the signal Of warning,
but succeeded in eluding the police in
their carriage. At this place they OBJ
tanned $1,000 worth of loot. Cut glass
and silver were their specialties, but
they would neglect nothing. They
would even take little trinkets and
children's souvenirs.
At Hazen's house the detectives
found, in addition to dozens of pieces
Of cut glass, packages of jewelry, since
identified, and eight pairs of trousers
Credit for the arrest of this remarka-
bly, energetic trio is due to Detective
.. G. Riley, who was assigned, with
Detectives Kear and Collins, to this
important case Of burglary. Riley dis
covered Martin disposing of a big
silver pitcher. Martin said two men

1t will be remembered that during

Roosevelt became intensely furious
over the charge made by Judge Parker
that the great corporations were being
Systematically assessed and were con-
tributing enormous amounts to the re-
publican national committee. In fact
one day, despite the advice of his
party friends the president issued a
long letter to the American people in
which he denounced in bitter terms
the charge declaring that all he asked
and proposed to give in the campaign
or in the Office OF president was "a
square deal"
At the same time, Chairman Tom
Taggart of the democratic national
committee issued a dare to Chairman
CorteIyou of the republican national
committee to publish the complete list
of contributors to the campaign funds
of the two parties in 1904. Mr.. Cortel-
you ignored the challenge at the time
and still ignores it.
