The other day Secretary Shaw and
Private Secretary Slater were return
ing to Washington from Elkins, W.
Va, where the former had delivered a
speech. In the Pullman, opposite Mr..
Shaw, sat a schoolbOy going to his
home in Texas from Princeton prep
aratory school.
The chap gazed critically at Secre-
tary Shaw's long coat and broad
brimmed SLOUGH hat and engaged him
in conversation.

spirited conversation then began
about crops, and the young fellow
learned that the man with bronzed
face and SLOUGH hat knew the differ
ence between silo and filled cheese.
He Quizzed Shaw at a great rate. Final
ly as the train pulled into the depot,
Secretary Shaw took his turn at ques-
tioning.
Where are you going?"

American Money in Cuba.

Cuba is being bound to the United
States with chain of gold that cannot
easily be broken. American capital and
the representatives of the men who
possess it are pouring into the island.
During the last two years fully $780,
1000 of American money has been
invested in Cuba, outside of Havana.
In that city, also, American capital is
being laid out freely on new projects.
American colonies can be found in
many parts of the ISLAND. Some of the
cities are f~g,nning to take on an
American appearance in architecture
and industry. Most of the railroad de-
velopment of the island is in the hands
of Americans Trolley lines, such as
are common in this country, are reach
ing out in every direction.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

AS between murderers, there Is,
perhaps, not much choice, yet poor,
wretched Fred Lang, in the New
Brunswick Jail awaiting sentence of
death for the murder of Katie Cor
don, is conducting himself in a way
to deserve much more sympathy than
the immensely wealthy Harry Thaw,
who deliberately killed Stamford
White. Those who have read Lang's
pathetic letter to his mother, con-
Tossing his guilt that it may be easier
fofhim to die, can hardly fail to con-
trast it with Thaw's attitude toward
his own mother, whose supremest eff
forts are being exerted to save her UNI
worthy Sol from the electric chair,
Lang's mother will have nothing to
do with him, yet he lavishes upon her
his dying affections. Thaw's mother
is treated with contempt, though she
is spending her fortune for him. Lang
will, in all human probability, be
hanged at any early date, for even
his counsel have no defense to offer
for him, not even that of emotional
insanity. But Thaw. the pampered,
degenerate o and the heir to mil
lions, will have astute counsel TO fight
every step of the way to the death

Warships Should Be
Limited by Interna-
tiOnal Agreement
BY Captain a. t. r1AHAN. U. $. N. Retired

i" OW long is the present race OF SIZE in s~hipbulding,
with steadily increasing cost to be maintaineds In all
nations the responsible authorities soon will have to recog-
~ nme that naval development has become a mere matter OF
international competikong TO which no logcal-andAwhat
is more important, NO PRACTtCAI-end is in sight.
aa This cannot endure Indefinitely sooner rather than later the rep
resentatives of the people vii. intervene, and, as usual under such cir
cumstances, will do something MORE RADICAL THAN BENE-
FICIAL unless anticipated by we'll weighed professional suggestions.
Eliminate the question Of size, and other qualities will fall rapidly
into their true RELATIVE proportions. How shall this be done2
I see no way save by INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT, as, for
instance, an accepted limitation that no naval vessel should be built
exceeding a certain displacement. With that sole restriction, leave
the question Of classes, speeds, ornaments, numbers, to the determine
ton of each state. Undoubtedly such limitation would affect coun-
tries differently One with relatively shoal waters would be advan-
tagged bya size not transcending the channels of her ports, but those
enjoying greater depths might protect themselves in the negotiations
without sacrificing the principle of SOME limitation. In the pres
ent race, also, wealthy nations have an advantage over poorer; but,
as all suffer, that ones neighbor suffers more is scarcely reason for
refusal. Money spent on naval shipbuilding is spent, doubtless, with
in the country, but, while the benefit obtains to a class, THE COM
MUNITY BEARS THE BURDEN.
1t is said, the suggested limitation would be artificial Doubtless,
but all conventions simply are artificial methods of solving difficulties
which, in the nature of things, cannot otherwise be overcome; the
remedies of the physician are artificial means for combating a dis
order of nature, and the nature of things naval has constituted now a
set of conditions in the obviatng of which all nations ar interested,
though not all equally.
The original motive of the first Hague conference was the limita-
ton of ornaments. AS far as known to me, no well reasoned plan
for attaining this end was then submitted, and the question of arbita-
ton took precedence of all others. 1t remains to be seen whether
anything more definite in the way Of ARREST OF EXPENDL
TURE will come before the next conference.
"a DO NOT BELIEVE THAT NATIONS WILL CONSENT TO RE-
STRICT TIE AGGREGATE STRENGTH OF THEIR NAvEs BY ANY
OTHER METHOD THAN THE EXERCISE OF THEIR OWN DIscRE.,
TON, BUT 1T MIGHT BE RECOGNIZED THAT THE RACE FOR
GREAT SIZE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN HIGHER SPEED WITHOUT THE
SACRIFICE OF OTHER QUALITIES HAS NO GOAL ATTAINAsLE.

The fight in Monmouth county

ate with the primary election to be
held on September %. 1t will be
the aim of the Journal to assist in
nominating a ticket that will not be
controlled by the present Monmouth
county machine. and while its object
may not be accomplished, yet it will
have made a fight for a principle
which must ultimately win. The
nomination of a ticket on a~Colby
platform would surely attract thou
sands of democrats to it's support, as
it is an every day occurrence that
one hears democrats say I am a
Colby democrat" which must mean
they agree with his principles and
will vote for men nominated on that
platform. Ok

From the Matawan Journa

(From the Matawan %Journal.)
The present editor of the Red
Bank Standard could not have read
the Journal very closely since De-
cember last, or it, would not have
stated that our advocacy of the
New Idea" in politics was due to the
disappointment Of the editor in not
being reappointedi postmaster.
The Journal for more than sixteen
years has supported the principles
and candidates ~ef- +he republican
party. While It is true the party. at
times could have named better men
for Office than were named, yet the
editor has felt that it was to the best
interests of the party to support a
poor republican rather than advocate
the election of any democrat to Office,
hence hasebeen consistent in the SUP
port of party principles.
In the present movement the Jour
nal is advocating many Of the prinqi-
pies heretofore enunciatHdzin repub-
lican platforms, antDZis willing to aid
in an effort to have other republicans
in the county and state carry them
out, rather than those who have in
years past controlled the politics of
the party as well as the members of
the legislature.
Last December the Monmouth
county machine seated a man from
this township as one of it's members
who was not entitled to a seat there.
In the borough primary his ticket re-
ceived but forty-siX votes against 116
for In opposing ticket, yet the ma
chine said f~orty-six was a majority of
116. Before the machine gets
through with Matawan it will find
out that the people here dornot figure
that way. Since the decision of the
machine in December the Journal

THN "HoLE I'M THE WALL."

The Hole in the Wall" was turn
ed into a regular sewer Saturday af-
ternoon when water was rushing
through the place over three feet
deep. 1t carried with it sand by the
wagon load and the little 'hole" was
blocked. This has been the condition
of affairs for many years and the
Pennsylvania railroad has totally ig-
nored the protests of the people who
have had to use it..
Now the Hole in the Wall" is a
part of a great state highway, travel
ed as much, if not more, than any
other road in New Jersey. This dis
graceful condition is being brought
before the public as never before and

THINK 1T OVER

Senator Dryden announces that he,
too, will stand on his record for re-
election. Senator jackson has ac-
knowledged that he has nothing bet
ter 10 stand on. Wonder If these
men think the people are as indiffer-
ent to public affairs as they used to
be? There WASH etime when. if a
3t-ia :
ompleA fayfly stepped into the
see'dlslf and, patting himself on his
chest, said: 81 stand on my record
the people would gather about, cheer
and exclaim that he must be all right
They let it go at that and the machine
cry ran smoothly.
Things are different powx The vot-
crs are not accepting n record sim
ply because a man says he stands
upon it. They like to know n little
about that record and an investiga-
ton Is not going to improve either
Senator Dryden's or Senator Jack
sons ,hances.
Dryden was a railroad and corpora
ton senator from the time he entered
the senate to the last adjournment.
He made a lengthy speech in favor of
a lock canal across the Isthmus of
Panama, but when he talks about
serving the people of this state, he
gives his constituents something to
think about.
Now, Senator Jackson, the ma
chimes candidate for state senator
from this county, is scheduled to vote
for Dryden IL he is reelected. Per-
haps he isn't Jackson's choice, but
that makes no difference. As long as
the corporations have drawn up their
plans and hate sent word to the
biua EGm 1uO
bosses how to play their men, Jackson
will do his part like a little soldier.
