REPUBLICANS

As 'REF0RMERs''

Ex-Mayor John ]. Fitzgerald of Paw
tucket at a Lincoln party rally In the old
town hall, Rumford, said:
THE Republicans In the general as
sembly have voted every year against
the reforms that they are now offering
in thcir platform"
Ex-Gov. L. f. C. Garvin. Thomas +.
Cooney, Col. Irving .. Hunt. and James
$, McCabe. also spoke, and Gerald E.
Mowry presided.
James s. McCabe, the first speaker.
said: This year the Republicans are
advocating the very reforms that the
Democrats and Lincoln party put before
the people last year. What made the Re
publicans do thls7 II was because they
found that their immense campaign fund
was OF no avail last year. and they had
TO pick up reforms To get your votes. Are
they sincere2'
Col. Irving o. Hunt said: What has
been the result when young Republicans
have tried to lift up their party by ad-
vocating reforms? They have been tod
ers would be short. The young men have
then Joined the Democrats, who have con-
sistently fought for the reforms that
they now have in their platforms"
Thomas r Cooney said: 1.-The Repub-
lcans had a bank examiner plank In
their platform, also equitable representa-
ton and enlarged powers for the COVER
nor, last year but nothing was done by
the legislature Ask the Republicans IL
their record shows that they will do this
year what they promised but did not do
last year."
Ex-Gov. l.. f. C. Garvin said:
when has Mr.. Jackson advocated
publicly any reforms before? He has
been called a reformer by paper out

sitlon I'm the senate for three Years, but

Jackson. II rs said. drove Mr. Brayton
out OF the state house. IL was public
sentiment that drove Brayton from the
state house. and Mr. Jackson has done
nothing during his term i'm public office
TO cause such sentiment.
I'VE know that ex-senator Wetmoro
for years has supplied the money that
was used TO corrupt the state
John j. Fitzgerald said
"The Republican party has stated that

Prof. Rotch told OF his long series of
experiments with miniature balloons for

The balloons are made OF rubber and
carry special Instruments for recording

ture. which are attached to parachures.
When at a great height the hydrogen
with which the balloons are filled ex-
pands to an extent where the balloons
themselves explode and the parachutes
carrying the instruments and the records
make on the trip float down to the earth.
During the course OF his experiments
Prof. Rotch has sent up some 30 balloons
and a great number OF the parachutes
have been returned TO him. or the fast

When you go to buy a suit Of furni-
ture nowadays in one of our depart
ment stores you don't have to specu-
late as to how it will look in your room
nor whether it will fit in or not AS
soon as the salesman sees that a par
ticular suit has met your fancy he calls
for a porter or two and turns them
loose in one Of several rooms fitted up
around the main showroom, setting
them at work removing all the furni-
ture in it. Then the suit that you seem
to be laundering after Is placed in ap-
propriate positions in this room, and
you can see at glance just how the
bedroom or parlor or dining room will
look if you buy that particular suit.
There are a dozen of these smaller
rooms around the main showroom, and
as each one is decorated in different
manner it is easy to pick one out that
approximates the scheme of your room
at home. Like many modern ways of
selling goods it is expensive in the be-
ginning, but it pays In the end, for this
plan of showing goods seldom fails of
its intended effect-New York Press

that the toads awake from their win

They often have been literally frozen
stiff, but they return to life as healthy
as ever and on the first baImy night
migrate toward the nearest breeding

SEVERAL suggestions have been made in
connection with the Office of Auditor of
the county of Burlington, the general
feeling being that the salary of that off
cial might be increased with benefit to the
Auditor and also to the county. As the
case now stands, however, nothing along
that line can be done without legislation
which must be general in its character.
The law creating the Office of Auditor
fixes the salary at $500 per year. The
Trainer of the law probably did not have
any idea of the work that might be en-
tailed upon an officer who gave the duties
the attention they demand Burlington
county ard possibly one other, are the
only ones who elect an Auditor by the
people, in other instances the election is
by the Board of Freeholders who have
the power to fix the salary. There is not
the slightest doubt that Auditor Worrell
is not paid anywhere near what he is
worth to the county. 1t would be good
thing to have the law so amended that the
Auditor could be paid salary which
would warrant his giving majority of
his time to the Office. The method of
paying money to Freeholders and letting
them settle with the persons they have
employed is. not a good system, as has
been shown in more than one instance
where the county has been called upon to
pay unsettled claims left as legacy by
retiring members of the Board who have
either left the county or whose financial
responsibility was not sufficient to sustain
suit for recovery of funds. The payment
Of every individual bill should be made
by the Auditor and Collector. This
would entail time and labor, and the sal
airy should be made sufficient to cover
those items. 1t would be a paying in
vestment all around.
