WHAT Is A REPUBLICAN?

Now shat the New York World has after
year of travail ascertained to its own salts
faction the true definition of Democrat
which, by the way, leaves Bryan, Hurst and
most of the other party leaders in recent
years out of the fold, it would be interesting
for some paper to conduct prize puzzle con-
tanning on What is Republican,
Take tariff reform. Taft and BeYeridge
favor it. Knox and Fairbanks oppose it.
Roosevelt and Cortelyou are 'smum."
Take railroad regulation. LaFollette and
Roosevelt advocate it. Foraker and Platt
and Kean,e ais, object TO it. EIkins, Shaw
and others say little.
Take the income tax. Roosevelt and Taft
are its champions. Root and Penrose dislike
it, Most Of the leaders dodge.
The Republican party is in truth as badly
divided as the Democratic. The issues are
all confused and interwined In this state
Colby took up the radical initiative and
referendum doctrine before Bryan did.
Ifto-day the name Republican means any
thing, pray what?

The Coming Campaign.

The Republican and Democratic leaders
are beginning to bestir themselves to get
the machinery in operation for the great
contest this fall in which governor, seven
state senators, and sixty members OF the
assembly, beside the local officers are to be
elected. The preparations are required TO
be conducted With more speed than usual,
because this year the primary election will
take place two weeks earlier than in years
when no governor is to be chosen. Under
the amendments to the primary act passed
in 1906 the primary election in years when
governor is to be elected shall take place
on the second Tuesday in September, in
stead Of the fourth Tuesday in September
as in other years This will bring the pri-
mary election this year on Tuesday, Sep
tember 10.
The most Important events in the ap-
preaching campaign will be the state con-
yention Of the two parties for the nomina-
tion Of candidates for governor. The dates
for these haye not yet been fixed. Election
day will be Tuesday, November 5.
The election law provides that the certif-
cations of nominations for state offices must
be filed with the secretary of the state 25
days before election. or this year before
October 10. Therefore, the state conyen-
tions must be held before that date. Every
party will want as much time as possible
for the gubernatorial campaign and to give
it was the purpose Of placing the primary
election two weeks earlier in gubernatorial
years. 1t is likely, therefore, that the
conventions will take place near the last of
September.
Each political party will be entitled to
elect delegates to the state convention at
the rate of one for every 200 votes cast by
such party at the last gubernatoriaI cleo
tion,s and one for each fraction thereof over
100. To all other conventions the delegates
will be elected at the rate of one delegate
to every 100 votes cast by such party for
governor at the last preceding gubernatorial
election and one delegate for each fraction
there Of over 40.

HARRY A. DeHART, the Thoro-
fare, n. j., wagon builder, was born
lin Jersey City, 1860. He attended
school in Newark and Pennington, N.
y. At II years of age his father
placed him in the store of Sharpless
& Bro, Eighth and Chestnut streets,
Philadelphia. After staying there
three years he entered the employ of
the American District Telegraph Co.
and had charge of a branch Office at
the Reading Railroad Station, Ninth
and Green streets, at that time the
main station in Philadelphia. Having
Ia desire to become a wagon builder
at the age of Is years he went to
Paulsboro and served four years at
blacksmithing; again going back TO
Philadelphia and entering the best
shops got a practical knowledge of
platform wagon work In 1888 he
built small shop in the village of
| Thorofare, where he built the first
DeIIart wagon. 1t took just one year
to make that first wagon, which is still
| in use and owned by Brooks Bros, of
Westyille. Mr.. DeHart had an eye
| for business and saw there was a de-
mand for good wagon at a fair price,
and he devoted his energies to that
end. Year by year the fame of the
! DeHart wagon spread, until to-day
| they are found in every section OF
| New Jersey where wagons are used.
The business has not been of a mush-
room growth, but rather like the oak,
| slow and sure, until it has become one
! of the leading manufacturing enter
prises of South Jersey, with business
relations in every section. From one
wagon the first year, he now can turn
out several each day. Mr.. DeHart is
a&practical mechanic genius and in
yentor. He has invented several prac-
teal devises and Improvements on
wagons, notably the low down bolster,
| the cut-under and the sure-grip brake.
Last year he made nearly one hun
dred truck wagons, besides farm, ex-
press, ice, coal and business wagons.
| He employs none but first-class work
men, a number of his present force
having been in his employ for several
years His factory is equipped with
| all kinds of modern machinery, and is
stocked with the best quality of oak
and wagon lumber, wheels, axles and
every tAiHS ueeu III lHe DuiluluS VI
first-class wagons. When wagon
leaves his factory it is safe to say that
there is none better and few its equal.
The large number on the roads prove
| their wearing qualities. The latest
improvement is the roller axle which
decreases the draft so per cent. He
has sold several this year.
He carries in stock large variety
of buggies and carriages of all grades
and prices. Don't hesitate to go to
his works when in search of vehicle
of any kind.

We hope our readers will find every one
Of the DEMocRA ATS twelve pages interesting
this week, because we have made especial
effort to make them so. We have motive
in this effort TO please the people OF the
county-we want to start our thirtiesh year
better than we haYe started any previous
year. II the DEMOCRAT has been a salts
factory newspaper to its patrons in the past
we want this issue to be an Indication that
we expect to make it a better, more complete
county paper in the future. We would like
TO pledge ourselves to print perfect news
paper, but that will be impossible Of ac-
oomplishment until we can secure perfect
editor, perfect corps OF printers and cor
respondents. They are not in sight, and
we have no idea they will materialize this
year. We can promise, however, that the
DEMOCRAT will be all that it has been
truthful, clean and enterprising; deYoted
to the public welfare, ready to aid all
movements looking to the betterment Of
conditions in city, county and State; pro-
noting prosperity, encouraging faithful
officials, encouraging the good and dlscour-
aging the evil, as we see it,
The DEMOCRAT has seen many improve
ments in Woodbury. and the county during
the span of its twenty mine complete years
here, but it expects the near future to sur
pass any period that has gone before. We
believe Woodbury. is going to increase in
population and importance in the near
future as it has never increased before. We
have the best train service the city has ever
enjoyed. We are going to have better
schools, better streets, and our advantages
as an up-to-date. healthful place of resi-
dence are going to be better understood and
more generally recognized than ever before

Section AZ, page II, of the School law
reads: Such Board Of Education shall in
its corporate name, sue and be sued pur-
chase, lease, receive, hold and sell property,
real and personal. !"
Councilman Burkett, before he voted
against the proposition before Council Tues
day evening to appropriate $50, 900 to pur-
chase school site and build and furnish a
school house, said be twas in favor Of vot-
ing this sum Of money for those purposes,
but he wanted to know what he was voting
for
The DEMOCRAT would gladly give Mr..
Burkett the information he desires if it
could, because as newspaper it is its busi-
ness to print all the news it can get, but it
occurs to us Mr.. Burkett is unnecessarily
agitated. The law does not impose any
such responsibility on councilmen, but it
does impose on them the duty Of deter
mining the amount of money the city
should expend for schools.
Mr.. Burkett seems to agree with the
Board Of Education and the Board Of School
Estimate that $50, 0o0 is reasonable
amount, but be wants, besides the duties
the law imposes on him, TO select the land
tne site.
Not in single instance does the school
law impose any duties on councilman in
the matter of the schools.
Section 48 says Such Board of (Edu-
cation) shall be vested with all the prop
erty Of every kind, etc.
Section 40 says ''Ths title to school prop
erty, real and personal, and the title to all
lands shall vest in the Board of Education. !"
And SO we might quote section by section,
without finding one iota Of responsibility
laid on c3unclImen as to where schools
should be built or as to the plans for build
ings or furnishings.
The Board Of Education, after due con-
sideration, fixed $50, 900 as the amount
required for improving our schools the
Board Of School Estimate, by vote of
three in favor, one against, and one not
voting, affirmed the Boards finding, and
councilmen assert they favor such an
appropriation if they can select the site.
Our observation is that councilmen have
troubles enough without taking on those
wEich the Board Of Education, under the
law, is required to solve, and we hope to
see councilman occupy solid ground in
voting for or against school appropriations.

The investigation of the Trenton Insane
Asylum by the Ham committee has dis
closed condition that almost makes ones
blood run cold. That white men could be-
come such brutes as the testimony revealed
is beyond belief if not told under oath.
The loose, lax methods Of financial admin
istration, the uncleanly condition of the
premises are bad enough, but when to these
is added murder, the limit is more than
reached. The removal Of Doctor Ward
isn't enough, the entire batch Of heartless
uncompetents should be cleaned out, and
the people won't be satisfied until they are.

Governor Glenn Of North Carolina has

plaudits Of the whole country. A U. S.
Judge undertook to interfere with the en-
forcement Of the police power Of she State

Of great railroad for violations Of a State
Law. The q. S. Judge has abandoned bis
contention, and South Caroliaa courts are
enforcing South Carolina law, as they have

On several occasions the Chosen Free.
holders have considered the advisability Of
erecting a county asylum and removing the
fifty inmates from the State institution.
Such coarse would be economical, saving
the county several shousand dollars year.
But whenever the subject was advanced on
the ground Of economy, the movement was
killed by the argument why talk economy
when the welfare Of unfortunates is at
stake" Does anybody believe, since the
revelations by the Hahn committee, that
the State Hospital authorities have had the
welfare Of the unfortunates before their
eyes or at heart either They haye taken
the county's money aud abused its unfor-
tunate ones.

On December 13, 1848, Chas. W. Elkin-
ton was born at Muilica Hill. In the
spring Of 1860, 123 years after, he entered
the store of n. T. Stratton & Sons, Of
that place, as an apprentice to the mercan-
tile business and remained with that firm
until the year 1880. On October 16, 1884
he began the business Of general merchan-
dising in store on the site of his present
business place. No business man in the
entirescounty is better known than Chss
W. Elkinton, and more favorably known.
spoon in his mouth nor in his hand, either.
The age at which he entered business is
proof of that, but he had what was more
valuable, sterling traits Of character.
Twenty years with one employer shows
that he was born slayer, and 81 years
successful merchandising shows that he
learned the business we'll. Step into his
store some day and look around, and you
will be convinced that he is an up-to-date
merchant. For years his store has been
the trading place of central Gloucester
county and now his business is high water
mark
Besides leading in the merchandising ac-
tiyities of his home town, Mr.. Elkinson
has given freely Of his time and energy to
advance the material prosperity of Mullica
Hill. He represented the township of
Harrison in the Board of Chosen Free
holders for two terms; he aided in TIE
establishments of the Farmers National
Bank of Mulliea Hill and was chosen Pres
ident, position he yet fills to the satisfac-
ton Of all interested.
The boys who read this brief, important
sketch of the life of this successful business
man can draw valuable lesson therefrom-
select the business you prefer and stick.
Be energetic. wide awake, and above all,
be honest. Every community has need for
such men, and success is sure.

How Burbank Grasped Opportunity.

Luthur Burbank's early life in California
was attended by many bard experiences.
He was very poor, and was obliged to take
any work that came TO hand. He cleaned
out chicken-coops, helped in market-gar-
dens, got an odd job here and another
there, passed through a very severe illness,
went 'son the tramp for work until finally
he was able to start little nursery OF his
own account. Then he was on his own
ground with a fair start. To outsiders he
seemed an honest, Woodworking young
fellow, who might make his living, but not
much more. Then, all at once, he did
something that made those who knew
about it look at him. An order came for
10000 young prune-trees. Could he fill it
in nine months He hadn't prune-tree on
his place, and how was he going to supply
90, 900 in nine months lie got together
all the men and boys he could find to plant
almonds for him. They grew rapidly.
When they were ready, he had 10000
prune-buds ready for them, and in a short
time the prunes were budded into the
growing almonds, and before the time was
up, the trees were delivered to the delighted
ranchman. And have seen these 10000
prune-trees. They are growing to-day and
| it is really one OF she finest orchards in
California. From "a Little Visit SO the
Home Of Luther Burbank" by George
Wharton James, in the August Circle.
At meeting Of the State Democratic ex-
ecutiye committee, held at the Coleman
house, Asbury Park last Saturday, the resig-
nation Of William B. Gourley, OF Paterson,
chairman Of the committee, was read and
accepted Another resignation, that OF
Secretary William K. Devereux, Of Asbury
Park, was also offered, but the committee
refused to consider il, and it was laid on the
table. Mr.. Devereux gave increasing busi-
ness cares as his reason for asking to be re-
lieyed Of the seoretaryship. Tuesday, Sep
tember IL was fixed as the date for the Demo-
cratic State Convention, but no successor to
Chairman Gourley was elected. Another
meeting for that express purpose was called
for August 10, and committee named to-
report on that date man as Mr.. Gourley's
successor. The committee consists Of James.

FUEL COMPANIES
DENY CONSPIRACY
AIege That Government Was Not
Oefrauded Out of Utah
Coal Lands.
QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
UtHh Fuel 60. Pleads For Its Right to
BE Brought to Book only IN
New Jersey.

IN an effort to retain possession OF
The Utah coal lands, which Uncle sam
under the vigorous proddlng Of Theo-
dole Of Washington. is seeking 70 re-
gain Tor the public domain, the COM
panies declare IN answers filed to gov
erumcnt suits i'm the federal court that
the statute OF limitations protects
thom Also that the suits are void
because the Moreton trust company
is not made party defendant and
finally th5t the court has no jurisdic-
jion. That conspiracy and fraud were
practised during the requirement of
lhc land is most vigorously denied.
The answers are live w number ana
cover about 100 typewritten pages
each Two are fled by the Utah Fuel
company, and three or the Pleasant
Valley Coal company, one of the suits
being filed against this company alone.
Previous to Ming them the companies
had presented dcmurrcrs which were
uvcrruled on Jan. n on the broad
ground that the state had no right 10
transfer little TO mineral land within It's
borders which was the contention OF
the government attorneys.
TO the four suits in equity the More
ton trust company was made a de-
PENDANT, and to the one case In chan
Gerry the Pleasant Valley company was
named alone. 10 this last case de-
NAL Is entered that the court has ju-
riSdictlon and also that II has a right
Ia proceed with the trial ON account Of
the operation of the statute OF limita-
tions The claim is put forth also In
connection with the portion on which
coal mines are not yet operating, that
the land Is grazing and agricultural IN
character. ana therefore subject To
state election.
The Utah Fuel company begs to re-
mind he government that II belongs
Ia the glorious state of New Jersey,
and that therefore a mere federal court
out in utah is totally without jurs-
diotlon, there being no place to sue
the company but New Jersey. Denial
OF attempt To- defraud The government
Is entered, The eases will probably
be postponed until the fall term Of the
court for trial.
