We hereby express our allegiance
to the great principles Of government
-ld95cated by the national democratic
party upon which we believe the fu-
ture welfare Of this republic must
depend.
We reaffirm our allegiance to that
greatest living exponent of democratic
principles, William Jennings Bryan,
and endorse him for our presidential
nominee in 1908.
We emphatically demand the reason
able and proper control Of transpor-
tation and transmission companies and
the supervision and control Of all en-
terprises engaged in interstate COM
merce.
We favor the improvement Of the
waterways Of the Missouri valley and
the establishment ow water transpor-
tation wherever practical throughout
the Union.
We believe that the patriotic ele-
ments Of the republican party are no
longer able to control or influence
that great political organism. We be
lieve that the machinery Of the party
has fallen under the insidious influ-
ence Of the great plutocratic power
and organized monopolies Of this ma
ton.
We denounce and condemn the ma
tional republican party for the lavish
use Of moneys belonging to the peo-
j pie Of Oklahoma in the reclamation
service in other states, and pledge
e our members in our national congress
+ to use their best efforts to require th'
e clamation service b use the money be.

STANDS BY DISMISSAL.
President on: Brownsville Affair
senator spooner Defends Him.

President on. Brownsville Affair
senator Spooner Defends Him.
President Roosevelt sent special
message dealing with the Browns
vile affair to the Senate yesterday.
He declares that the evidence against
the dismissed Negro soldiers is con-
elusive, refers to them as midnight
assassins," and says there is no doubt
of his legal and constitutional power
to dismiss them. The part of the
order barring the dismissed men from
civil employment under the govern
ment, however, he revokes. The
message was accompanied by letter
from Secretary Taft, giving the evi-
dence taken at Brownsville.
The reading of the message was fol-
lowed by debate in which Senator
Spooner took the leading part. He
held that when the President exer-
cised his powers as commander in
chief Of the army the Senate had
no authority to review his actions,
and contented that Congress had no
power to legislate specifically to
restore the discharged sold iersp de-
claring that review could only be had
by impeachment proceedings, which
must originate in the House.

THE REVIVAL MEETINGS.
A Good Attendance and increasing |
Interest in the Meetings.

A Good Attendance and increasing
Interest In the Meetings.
Despite the unpleasant weather
there has been a very good attendance
at the revival meetings held in the
Methodist and Baptist Churches which
were started with the beginning of
the year.
In the Methodist Church Rev. Mr..
Urmy has preached each evening and
the singing by chorus choir has
added much to the interest of the SER
vices, while Mr.. James solos have
been appropriate andl effective. The
services will be continued with pros
pect of being of great spiritual inter-
est and profit.
In the Baptist Church there has
been an increasing interest and at
tendance. Rev. Mr.. Horsman has
preached each evening and occasional
ly sings solo to add effectiveness to
his remarks. The singing has been
supplemented with solos by different
persons each evening, and by system
of having the various organizations of
the church to look after the details of
the meetings on different evenings,
variety and interest has been aroused.
The prospects for the coming weeks
are very good and the meetings will
be continued. A feature is child
ren's meeting on Saturday afternoons
at 4o'clock to which all children are
invited.

James Dugan Shoots His Grandfather.
william Hagan on Friday Night.
James Dugan, nineteen years of age,
is in the county Jail awaiting the re-
suit of injuries inflicted upon his
grandfather. William Hager, at Mend
ham, last Friday night. Dugan had
been stopping with his grandfather
for some time and on Friday they
quarrelled on occount of Dugan's con-
tinued idleness, according to report.
After supper the older man left the
house to evade the grandson and
walked to the Stephen Babbitt house,
occupied by James Morrison and went
in. Soon after his arrival the young
man arrived with his grandfather's
shot gun and fired at him through a
kitchen window, striking Hager in
the head and upper part of the body.
His jaw bone was fractured, his tongue
injured and other serious injuries in
flcted from which it is doubtful if Ha-
gan recovers.
Dugan ran away after the shooting
and although posse was organized
and made a search, no trace of him
was found. On Sunday morning he
walked into the Black Horse Hotel
where Marshall Beavers of the Dor.
ough arrested him without resistance
ond brought him to jail. On the way
he said that he did not know the gun
was loaded, also that he had seen en-
ough of Mendham.
Hager was taken to All Souls Hos
pital, where he still remains.

Why a Lauter !?

Hyou propose to purchase a piano,
you are naturally interested in securing
the best possible from the standpoints
of musical excellence, fine workman
shipand certain durability. Itbehooves
you to investigate carefully before
reaching a decision.
Why a Lauterp If you will but
enter our factory and inspect the Lauter
Piano in course of construction in the
various departments, and will satisfy
yourself as to the extraordinary pains
we take to secure excellence in every
detail, you will have answered for your
self the interrogations that you may
have had in mind.
Our factory is at all times open to
visitors. We like people to examine
into the details of the Lauter construc-
ton, for we do not think there is an
other piano manufactured that is so
carefully and painstakingly manufac-
tured as the Lauter. For example, we
season our soundboards for two years,
whereas the usual maximum time is
two to three months; we devote hours
to the finishing off Of minute items in
j the interior mechanism, whereas the
same work is finished usually in few
minutes; we introduce large number
of unique devices to secure durability
at all times.
The resulting product of our fac
tory, whether GRAND, SMALL
GRAND, PLAYERPIANO or UP
RIGHT, is an Instrument of peculiarly
delightful tone, equisitely fine finish
and beautiful appearance.

A Marked Day at the Library.


Last Monday was a marked day at
the Library, for at that time the No.
1000 was written upon a borrowers
card. The library opened free to the
public October19, 1906, since that time
the reading room has been steadily in
creasing in popularity and averages
from Is to 100 per day. The largest
number visiting the library occurred
December 16, 1906, 387; 302 of these
either asked the librarians for infor-
nation concerning special work or
drew books. For number of years it
has issued the smallest percentage Of
fiction in the state, 36 per cent. At
the present time there are LOIS per-
sons who have signed the requirements
and drawn books, about one-eleyenth
of the population. One-quarter OF this
number are children who thoroughly
enjoy the excellent collection of juve-
nile fiction which has been selected for
their use.
The librarians are always ready to
assist in preparing special work, and
those who have had occasion to use
the reference library appreciate the
valuable collection. No other library
in the state can boast of better col
lection of books bearing upon NewJer-
sey history. For number Of years
special attention has been given to
this subject.

The Lauter
Playerpiano

There has been a remarkable demand of
late for the LAUTER PLAYERPIANO. This
demand has been equally pronounced in our
wholesale trade from all over the United States
and in our retail trade from our various local
warerooms.
People of musical discernment are quickly
realizing that with this wonderful instrument
revolution is brought about in the home. The
family that may have been without music be-
cause there was no one in the house who could
play is now in possession of the means by which
music, music of the soul, is available when wanted
With the Lauter Playerpiano any non-play-
er can play all classes Of musical composition
classical, popular, operate, dance, vocal, etc.
All that is necessary is to select the music-roll
of the composition desired, insert it in the spool
box and begin playing by working the treadles.
The most artistic effects are readily obtained
through control of tempo, expression and accent
by the small levers placed conveniently in front
of the keyboard. You may never have played
piano. but you can play the Lauter Playerpiano
inteligently after a few minutes instruction 1t
can also be played by hand-TWO PIANOS.
