Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1907-07-04
eerfuI.

One of the most promising Of the
new Democratic members elected to
the Sixtieth congress is Hon. w. p.
Ashbrook of the Seventeenth Ohio dis
trict. He is young, handsome and
capable. Withal be is an optinlist, and
optimism goes long way in this
world. Recently Brother Ashbrook
was interviewed by the Washington
Post and talked in this CHEEKY manner:
1.-THE next senator from Ohio is likely
to be Judge Judson Harmon of Cincin-
natl said Representative w. P. Ash
brook of the Seventeenth Ohio district,
formerly represented by Mr.. Smyser.
This is because the Democrats are more
than likely to carry the next state legis-
lature," he went on. 1.-THE Republicans
have a majority of only three members
in the house of representatives, and this
will be reduced to a majority of one. Car
mi Thompson, formerly speaker, was
elected secretary of state last year He
will be succeeded by a Republican B. w.
Baldwin Of Auglaise county, who has
been appointed member of the board of
public works, is likely to be succeeded by
a Democrat. w. S. Stevens of CIermont
county died and will be succeeded by a
Democrat. My successor will be a Demo-
crat. Thus the majority is reduced to
one. In the senate the Democrats have a
majority of one. If the two houses come
together on joint ballot at any time, they
will therefore be tied. If the Democrats
don't make enough out of the Foraker
Taft squabble to elect enough additional
Democrats to the legislature to enable
them to choose a senator. miss my
guess
Hon. Thomas i. Crittenden, ex-rep-
resentative in congress. ex-governor
and ex-consul general to Mexico, has
declared for Governor Johnson of
Minnesota for president. Just what
Colonel w. J. Bryan and Governor
Folk will think of Colonel Crittenden's
output l do not know.

a Tall Statesman.

Hats of to my good friend Hon. Cy-
rus A. Sulloway, representative from
New Hampshire, who stands six feet
seven in his stockings. He is not only
taller than any of his colleagues CT
than any senator, but also taller than
any member of the house of commons
or house of lords. The tallest common
er, Eric Hambro. who has just resign
ed, is only six feet five and three-quar-
ter inches, while Lord Ampthill, who
can't resign even If he wanted to, is
only six feet four and a half inches.
Thus, even in the small matter Of phys
zeal altitude, our statesmen beat the
Britishers.

d great work. Seward went to his
grave hearing "roastsn on his Alaskas
policy-roasts4 that were simply false
prophecies. He could do nothing to
defend himself At that time Alaska
was an unknown quantity, an inchoate
wilderness, as it still is to a large ex-
tent. The following from Leslie's
Weekly is quite apropos:
June 20, 1907, the fortieth anniversary of
the day on which the Alaska annexation
treaty went into operation, is a date
mark of great importance to the United
States When shortly before his death,
in 1872, William II. Seward was asked
what he believed to be the greatest
achievement of his public career, he an
swered, 1.-THE annexation of Alaska" He
added, however, ttBut the American peo-
pie will not grasp the value of that ac-
QUESTION for a third of a century yet
This shows that Seward, the empire
builder, was also a prophet. Seward has
been dead for thirty-five years, and it is
only in recent times that his countrymen
have appreciated the Importance cf Alas
ka as a possession. Strong opposition was
offered in the house of representatives in
1867 to making the appropriation Of ST.
100000, the price which Seward paid to
Russia for the province. Said one of an
nexation's opponents in that chamber
.sAll that Alaska will ever be able to pro-
duce are polar bears and icebergs." For
several years a nickname for the region
was Stewards Folly" But time has vim
dicated Seward

Bread and Wine.

History has a strange way Of re-
peating itself Revolutions have been
caused before now by rise in the
price Of bread, and it begins to look a
little as If there may come revolution
in France from the price OF wine. It's
a fight by the natural wine" makers
against the artificial wine'' makers.
Any movement that can collect togeth-
er 100000 people on short notice must
be Of far reaching consequence, espe-
cially among a people so mercurial and
emotional as the French. The hero Of
this wine crusade, Marcelline Albert,
has been dubbed labor's Napoleon.

The GEORGIAN.

The immediate success Of the
Georgian, the new evening atlanta
paper edited by my brilliant, eloquent
and loyable friend Colonel John Temple
Graves, is one of the most interest
ing phenomena of our times. The
Georgian had no experimental stage of
living on short commons. It was a
magnificent triumph Of journalism from
the beginning and now has a circula-
ton of fifty odd thousand, which is
remarkable for paper in city the
size of Atlanta, and its circulation is
rapidly growing. Colonel Graves, At
lanta and Georgia are to be congratu-
lated

tarin. If It Is to be Bone at all. but the
fact Of It is that It is not intended to
make labor high. The men who make
this argument in order to get labor
support are the same men who import
foreign labor to keep down the prices
they must pay to laborers at home. They
are the men who sell to customers in
America steel rails for SIS ton and sell
them abroad at $50 or s22 making a big
profit on an article which confessedly
costs about SIS. The argument that pro-
lection makes high wages is a ridiculous
faIlacy They have always been higher In
America than in Europe. But in Europe
the highest wages are paid in free trade
England and the countries where they
are lowest have the most rigid ssy-stems of
protection.

On dit that the administration will
not send any Of our battleships to Pa

would irritate the Japs to such an ex-
tent that they would jump on US right

and would jump so suddenly and I'M

our battleships into the Pacific the bet

Japs In Texas.

The latest news from Texas is that
the lumber mill owners, having grown
weary of the shiftless negroes and
Mexicans, are employing Japs in their
stead. 1t is said that the number OF
Japs now so employed in the Lone
Star State amounts to 5000 or 1000
and is rapidly increasing. The state
ment, hard to believe, is also made
that one Jap does the work usually
done by two negroes or three Mex
leans. All of which is important, If
true. There is no question about there
being a widespread and growing feel
ing of discomfort in the south with the
negro laborer and that he must i'm
prove his ways or he will find him
self supplanted to large extent,
which will hasten the extinction which
inevitably awaits him on this CONT
nent. Certain of the southern states
are making systematic efforts to de-
fleet the tide of white immigration to
the southwark and appear to be sue
ceeding somewhat. 1t is being made
apparent in Europe that the tale about
life and property not being safe in the
south, which has been assiduously cir
culated up north and abroad for, 10,
these many years, is a lie made of
whole cloth. This matter has been and
is being investigated by the ambassa-
doris and ministers accredited to our
government, particularly by the Italian
ambassador and the German ambassa-
dor Their reports are decidedly IA
yorable to the south. By reason of
favorable climatic conditions living is
much cheaper in the south than in the
north. Not so much food, clothing or
fuel is necessary. Houses cost less.
Cattle run out in comfort all the win
ter. All these facts. when generally
known, will take white immigrants
into the south in constantly augment
ing numbers.

Especial Washington Letter.


~ 7Y good friends General Charles
lhMl H Grosvenor of Ohio and
il Charles b. Lands of Indiana,
who have been swearing by
the beard of the prophet for a decade
that under the benign influence of the
Dingley bill, from which. according to
their philosophy, all blessings flow,
there is not a tramp in America, must
feel an unpleasant sensation when
they learn that the railroads kill from
1900 to 1880 tramps annually. Now,
it's clear as crystal that the railroads
could not kill tramps unless there were
tramps to kill. Nor can it be assumed
by these astute and agile statesmen
that the railroads kill all the tramps.
Perhaps, as a matter of fact, they
do not kill more than one out of a
thousand, which forms some basis
for ascertaining the whole number of
tramps in this land of the free and
home of the brave The above figures
were given in a carefully prepared pa
per read by Mr.. o. f. Lewis, superin-
tendent of the two largest charity SO
cieties of New York, before the late
national charities conference at Min
neapolis. VIII Brother Grosyenor and
Brother Lands admit their error and
cease to make such preposterous asser-
tons? Not on your life-not so long
as they believe that anybody can be
roped in to vote the Republican ticket
by SO doing. They probably will fol
low the White House example and de-
clare that Lewis is a liar and horse
thief because he has dared to tell the
truth.
Worse and more of it for Grosvenor,
Lands ct i'd genus omne, the Phila-
delphia Press, Republican organ edit
ed by ex-Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith, admits the truth Of the
foregoing figures, and the Washington
Herald, independent, speaks editorial

Repertoire at The Phillips.

Manager o. G.. Murray, of the New
Phillips vaudeville theater, who Is
making a thorough study of the amuse-
ment question: has many good things
in store for the patrons of his house as
time goes by He and the other man.
ayers associated with him are making
arrangements by which the vaudeville
and stock companies presented can be
steadily improved upon and the various
features that go with this style of en-
tertainment made still more attractive.
That the Richmond public will support
combined vaudeville and stock is quite
evident from the liberal patronage
that was accorded the past week. For
this week the same plan will be fol-
lowed and the Ethel Desmond company
in addition TO the six vaudeville num-
bers presented, which are to be varied
from those of the past week, will pre-
sent two complete shows. For Mon
day. Tuesday and Wednesday after
noon and night, they have selected "A
Life for Life and for Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, both afternoon and
night. What a Girl Will Do These
are among the best in the large roper
toire that is put on by the Desmond
company. Patrons of the house are
virtually getting two shows for the
price of one and at virtually no adj
vance in prices as matinees are played
without a change from vaudeville adj
mission and at night only few of the
seats are held at sum slightly in adj
vance of that charged for vaudeville. 1t
would not be possible to give so much
for the money were it not for the long
run the company is afforded which
thus reduces the heavy expenses Incl
dent to jumping about the country each
week
There will be the usual souvenir mat
inee on Wednesday and special matt
nee for children on Saturday.
