THIS IS THE DAY.

This is the day when the citizens
of MiddleseX county and the state of
New Jersey declare whether they
shall continue to be governed by the
large corporations which have held
this state in its grasp for many years.
There is hardly a voter in the state,
particularly among the great mass of
common 'nople, but who, at one time

bigger, you have seen pri-
and up, and you have asked
yourself how you were to help your
self.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY HAS Ar
RIVED.
To-day, you, the republican voters
of MiddleseX county, have before You
a young man who has been cast asiG ,
by the ''macbine' because he has re-
fused to do as the bosses commanded
hm.-~eHe has appealed to you direct
to see if you will stand for such treat
ment for an honest public servant
who has tried to serve the people.
More than that, this young man
has come out before the people with
a platform and a declaration of prin-
ciples. He is opposed to corporation
greed and bossisin, just the thing

A vote for Fordyce delegates also

to put her theories into practice is be- cause she has been disarmed by the doctrine of the modern State, the germ of which is contained in the Dec- laration of the Rights of Man" That declaration, which proclaimed liberty of opinion even in matters of religion and affirmed that no corporation nor individual can exercise power which does not expressly emanate from the nation, has naturally been condemned by the Church. The council of the Ma sonic order directs attention to the fact that it is these two doctrines which are now in conflict. If Well-intentioned de- lenders of the modern State support the claims of the Church, 1t will be be- cause they are ignorant of their real significance. But Freemasons, faithful to the glorious traditions of their prede- cessors, will strain every nerve to se- cure the triumph of the ideas proclaim ed in the Declaration of the Rights of Man.

Said the eldest to the youngest: Lo I know the road he's taken, He is waiting where the pile he light ed burns, His word is on my spirit and my faith is still unshaken, We must follow, follow, follow till he turns" Said the youngest to the eldest: Listen listen, o my brother, To- the fire in the valley has gone out, But up among the mountains he has lighted him another, We must follow, follow, follow, we must shout Said tho eldest of them angered: To. the stripling has been drinking But the youngest only curled his pleasant lips He is watching on the mountains where the sun he loved is sinking We must follow, follow, follow where it dins, So they sought him down the valley, arm in arm in friendship linking, And they stumbled on the ashes in the dark, But they found him on the mountains where the sun he loved was sink ing,
 With his fingers spread to shield a newborn spark, And he laughed them out promise, those abandoned in the hollow, There are other flames and other suns besidei But to know him you must follow follow, follow" So they followed, followed, followed till they died,

ARIzON4.

There has been some talk that there is strong sentiment in Arizona in favor of joint statehood. but it hasn't made it's appearance yet, and those ac- qualnted with the situation don't ex- pect it. A good Illustration of the sentiment that is strong there is the following resolutions passed unani- mously by th- Republican and Dem ocratic conventions of Arizona: "We are unalterably opposed to joint statehood between Arizona and New Mexico end would prefer to remain a territory rather than to have joint State with Mexico"
 It seems that there has also been some talk that there wouldn't be a fair count of tho votes on the question of statehood. So the President has di- rected the governor of Arizona and the governor of New Mexico to have representatives of statehood people present at the canvassing of the votes. He says he doesn't believe there is any truth in the talk, but he wants to avoid all criticism. Governor Kibbey of Arizona has invited representatives of the statehood folks to serve on election day and witness the count in each pre- cinct, and Governor Pagerman of New Mexico will doubtless do the same
 It has been a long, and in some ways queer struggle. It is about to end, for awhile at least, and Arizona will have the peace she has wanted She will also have prosperity.

Theories and conditions.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier;
 The statement which appeared in the news columns of the Journal and Cou- rier relative to the "get-rich-quick' schemes of life insurance is well illus trated on pages SS2-SSS of Dawes Unique Manual of Life Insurance" for l905-l9O6. As there given, the es- tirnated bonus" or dividend at fnatur- ity, on twenty-year endowment poll cy for $l,000 issued on the life of a man twenty~one years of age, will be s52s. This would be equal to a little over fifty-three per cent. of the total premiums paid in, which at S40O7 per annum, would amount to $9sl,5O in twenty years. The preposterousness of this estimate becomes apparent when 1t is compared with the actual divi- dend record of the company which makes it, as given on the opposite page, where we find that the average an nual dividend, or bonus, returned by said company during the past five years amounted to only forty-seven hun- dredths of one per cent. of the total pre- miums it collected. Surely the man agers of that company must be super latively optimistic, and abound in faith and nope. T. E. DAVIES.

ENGLAND AND TIE EATING SEA

ENGLAND AND THE EATING SEA
 The sea is England's danger as well as her defence, It is eating away the coast, especially on the eastern side, at a rate that is disturbing. Professor w. B. Hodgkinson comes forward with a suggestion for stopping the destruction. He would build structures of sheet iron, length about six feet. height four feet to five feet and breadth about four feet or little less. Strength of sheet iron two millimetres; iron to be hot pitched when new. A series of these structures to be moored by means of a wire or chain cable in position at low water, so that they form slight arc with the concave side to the set of tide and current; when one set has become logged with sand and gravel another series could be placed in front of the gaps in the first series. The distances apart would be about the width of the structure itself. Made of common rolled iron they would be very cheap. Con- struction would be a mere trihe, the main cost being really in the pinnng down of the holding cable. Iron does not rust very rapidly in sea water after the first few weeks. If made of metal 2-S millmetre thick they would last for years, even exposed to wind and water When completely covered with sand and water they would last an indefinite time.
 This seems a little more adequate than sweeping the water away with brooms would be, but perhaps England will vet have to be surrounded by a concrete sea wall.
