THE REPUBLICAN "sTAY AT
HOMEU

One great reliance by the Democrat
ic politicians for party success is the
Republican stay at home" In the
election of 1904 PAS, 1914 was the figure
of the total Republican vote of the
state. Last year the total Republican
vote was 17O,24S, a falling off Of 74,910
On the other hand. the Democratic
vote of 1904 was 164,566, while last
year it was 168,S16, an actual increase
of 1880
1t is evident that thousands Of Re-
publican voters last year believed that
it was not necessary that they should
go to the polls to vote because there
would be plenty of other Republicans
voting to elect all the party candidates
by good majorities. So they yielded to
all kinds of excuses for neglecting
their duty as citizens. The big slump
In the party vote last year and the dis
astrous results in Essex, Hudson and
Passaic ought to be a lesson to these
easy going Republicans.
The vote of every Republican in the
state will be needed on Nov 8 to main.
tain Republican supremacy in this
state. 1t never pays to win victories In
advance. Overconfidence has lost many
battle In actual war and many q
campaign In politics. And apathy and
Indifference to party duty are enemies
within the camp.
Every Republican should reflect that
when he fails to vote he gives ha1 q
vote to the Democratic party.

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Difference Between Instinct and
REASONING Power,


Reasoning Power.
Most animals have little self con-
sciousness, and their reasoning powers
at best are of low order, but In kind
Mt least the powers are not different
from reason in man. A horse reaches
over the fence to be company to an
other. This is instinct. When 1t let's
lown the bars with its teeth, that Is
reason. When dog finds its way
home at night by the sense of smell,
this may be instinct; when he drags a
stranger to his wounded master, that
Is reason. When a Jack rabbit leaps
over a bush to escape a dog or runs in
a circle before a coyote, or when 1t
lies fat In the grass as round ball Of
gray, indistinguishable from grass,
this is instinct. But the same animal
Is capable Of reason-that Is, Of a dis
tinct choice among lines of action. Not
long ago rabbit came bounding across
the university campus at Palo Alto
AS 1t passed corner 1t suddenly faced
two hunting dogs running side by side
toward it. 1t had the choice Of turn
ing back, its first instinct, but dan
gerous one; Of leaping over the dogs
or Of lying on the ground. 1t chose
none Of these, and its choice was in
Simultaneous. 1t ceased leaping, ran
low and went between the dogs just
as they were in the act of seizing it,
and the surprise Of the dogs as they
stopped and tried to hurry around was
the same feeling that man would
have In like -"Evolu-

eIowino the Nose.

Medical experts are calling the atten-
ton of the public to the Importance Of
performing the nose blowing operation
In scientific and hygienic manner.
First one nostril and then the other
should be blown without undue VIC
lence. Doctors state that the two nasal
passages should never be closed at the
same time. If they are INSTRUCTED, as
In the case Of cold, the back of the
throat is filed with compressed air,
and this. together with the discharge
and the microbes which 1t contains,
may be driven through the eustachial
tube into the middle ear and lead to
serious results. A great authority ON
the subject used to forbid his patier IS
to blow their noses when suffering
from cold. The course is hardly one
which will commend itself to those in
the habit of catching colds. The best
advice would seem to be that when it
is necessary to blow the nose blowing
should be done gently.-London Mail.

Shall We Now
Swap Horses?
Hon. Frank o. Briggs Quotes
Abraham Lincoln and Asks
Pertinent Question.

Hon. Frank o. Briggs, United States
senator and former chairman Of the
Republican state committee, had the
following to say about the campaign
just closing:
"One of the homely wisdom sayings
Of President Lincoln was this: DO not
swap horses when you are crossing a
stream The situation in state as
well as national affairs forcibIy re-
calls that saying. We are in the midst
of a transition period, created by pro
gressive Republican policy, a transit
ton from old and outworn conditions
to new and better ones.
ut is not necessary to point to the
magnificent work of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, and yet the situation in
this state bears a close relation to the
national policy. The New Jersey cleo
ton next month may have an impor-
tant bearing on the national contest in
1908. The spirit of reform is in the
air. 1t was prominent In state legisla-
ton Of the last two years. and that
legislation embodies a greater amount
Of practical reform than all the legis-
Iation of the previous twenty five years
combined
1.-THE Democratic party has had no
hand whatever in the accomplishment
of this reform. Every one of the great
measures passed bears the Republican
stamp, was Of Republican origin, was
passed by Republican votes and ap-
proved by Republican governor. The
ltate policy out of which these meas
ares come is continuous performance.
Republican reform is only partly
complete. There are reforms that are
now well outlined in the Republican
programme, and they will be taken
up and put into laws with the same
resoluteness that other statutory re-
forms We're effected.
"Shall the people of the state who
have been so greatly enriched by Re
publican legislation and who have ev-
cry reason to look forward to the ac-
complishment of other benefits, now
well matured, turn their backs upon
the Republican party and the Repub-
lican reform programme and commit
power in the state to the Democratic
party?
I'm other words, shall the forward
movement in this state be halted, shall
the hands of the clock be turned back.
shall the men who so grossly abused
the peoples confidence in the three
years that they held control in state
affairs be restored to power? Shall
we swap horses while crossing the
stream?"

magic III the world for that, 1 fear"
When Helen woke the next morning
the words "at the end of the trail, at
the end of the trail,' kept ringing in
her ears. Soon their significance fash
ed across her. She had promised to
give him an answer at the end Of the
trail, and today they were to start for
home.
With each step of the way she de-
bated the question, What did she
know of him? Only that he was strong
and handsome, full of certain shy hu-
NOR, lover Of nature, courteous and
gentle, yet firm and masterful Was
that enough to Justify her taking the
unknown on faith?
From time to time she watched his
manly figure swinging along with pic
turesque ease and freedom, and her
heart thrilled with the pride Of possess
sion. He loved her, and she was quite
sure But she did not have to say the
words until the end Of the trail should
come into view.
1t came at last, just across a noun
tain stream that went surging noisily
past them. On the edge Of the stream
the guide paused and waited for the
others to catch up with him.
There's no wading across today"
he observed knowingly. 1.-THE stream

fore. I'll have to carry you girls over"
, One by one the others were landed
safely on the opposite bank. Helen
was oblivious of their squeals Of fear
and shouts Of laughter. All she could
think of was that In few minutes it
would be her turn. At last he stood
before her, looking down thoughtfully
upon her upturned face
"Are you readyT he asked gently.
''If the guide is" she answered.
Then he took her In his strong arms
and stepped into the rapidly flowing
stream. She could feel his labored
breathing, but even when his foot slip
ped on rolling stone she felt no fear.
Just as they reached the other side
Helen suddenly let her head rest
against his shoulder
''That was lots more fun than wad-
ing she whispered shyly.
In his glad surprise he almost lost
his footing. but only for a moment.
Observing that the rest Of the party
had already disappeared from sight.
he held her close and kissed her again
and again.

trail now, dearest" he said, looking
down lovingly into her eyes.

"And never feel the burden, little

THE DEMOCRATIC APPEAL.

An incident of the campaign in Es-
sex county shows the nature of the
appeal being made by the Democratic
party for votes. At a meeting in the
interest of it's candidates the chairman
in introducing speaker urged every
voter to vote the Democratic ticket Sin
the name of God" and the speaker SO
introduced made a fervent appeal for
the Sunday opening of saloons.
At the same meeting the speakers
table had at one end pitcher of ice
water and at the other a quart Of
whisky, and each speaker when intro
duced took a drink of whisky before
beginning his speech. Such an obvi-
GUS appeal, not to the sober drinking
man, but to the disreputable element
in the community, deserves a strong
rebuke from every citizen who loves
decency.
