KATzeMsAeH, "sTRADpLER.r

Sometimes the issues of campaign
are made hy political managers, but
other times issues force themselves
into prominence because they spring
from questions that are vital to the
public welfare.
The Democratic candidate for gov.
crnor, Frank s. katzenbaeh, ,Ir., Is go
ing about the state telling the voters
that the great issue of the campaign
Is honesty in public Office. From all
parts of the state, however, comes an
lnsistent demand from the people that
the two candidates for governor make
plain their attitude on the question OF
the Sunday sale of liquor.
Judge Fort, the Republican candi.
before IT was made and since that time
has been most emphatic In his decla
rations In favor of the enforcement OF
the bishops law.
TN the other hand, Mr.. katZenbach
has lodged aud evndcd the issue and
apparently cannot he induced to say
II direct word upon II,
The conclusion Is unavoidable that
Mr.. Katzenbach hopes by his silence
To induce both the advocates and the
opponents of an open Sunday TO be
licvp that he favors their side of the
question
Political history in New Jersey clear
ly shows that the people have no use
for siraddlcr.

GRATITUDE TO POLITICAL PART


a cynical philosopher has defined
gratitude us n "IlYcly sense of favors
TO come" How far does that definl
ton apply to the sentiment of the PEG.
pie toward the political parties? Are
the people mgratefnl for benefits con.
ferred and too trustfully apprecIative
Of prospective benefits that may never
he realized?
If SO then they Will turn from the
Republican party that IN the last ten
years has given extraordinary benefits
TO the state and will put their trust In
the Democratic parry that IN the past
utterly forfeited the public confidence
aud Is now seeking power with nj;
kinds of promises of good conduct and
public service.
4 Democratic victory In New Jer
sey this year would show that there
Is really no such thing as popular graf
itnde and that the people value prom
ige more than performance, however
great Then what incentive can there
Ice for good aud faithful government
What future benefits can the people
expect IF they turn their backs upoL
those who have laborcd in their inter
est to favor those who have beer
recrcant TO every Promise given by
them when they were in power?

Don't be whining about not having
a fair chance. Throw sensible man
out of the window and he'll fall on
his feet and ask the nearest way to
his work. The more you have to be-
gin with the less you will have in the
end. Money you earn yourself is
much brighter than any you get out

fast in the morning of life whets the

He who has tasted sour apple will
have the more relish for sweet one.
Your present wants will make future
prosperity all the sweeter. Eighteen
pence has set up many pedler in
business, and he has kept his carriage.

find fault with that; you need not be
a horse because you were born in a

Some people are hard to make un-

respondence in the HERALD. We re-
quire in any event signed to the let
ter the full real or legal name of it's
writer. If such writer wishes to have
the matter published over a fictitious

sign such an assumed name ON a line
above the true one. Some scribblers
from Betty this week furnished the
non de plume, then under it instead
of both their first and last name, the
Christian name is given alone, the

The HERALD thinker takes cOgni-
zance of the playful twit both Daw-
son and Mill-Boy takes at him over
the chicken-loving weakness of our
fraternity. Two great minds blowing
down the same furrow. This WALLER
leg propensity has always been i'm
puted to Methodist preachers, since
we have been big enough to take no
lice, but if the barn yard owners
want to tempt us with the fatted
fowls, all we have got to say is we
will endeavor to sustain the reputa-
ton they accredit to our profession,
If good breasts grow in the cacklers
in mind. Now as to watermelons.
Whew-e-ei Dawson certainly didn t
play fair to eat that huge and lus-
cious red-meated fruit, and then tell
us about it, when none are here to
satisfy the whetted appetite. Our OIL
factory senses seems to almost again
sniff the air as in boyhood days and
catch that delicious musky smell
which alone is given off by a fine ripe
watermelon, as it rips and pops open
ahead of the in plunged knife. How
can we get even with these mischevi-
Gus fellows.

AS to the little troubles, who ex-
poets to find cherries without stones
or roses without thorns? Who would
win must learn to bear. Idleness lies
in bed sick of the mulligrubs while
industry finds health and wealth.
The dog in the kennel banks at feas
and the hunting dog does not even
know that they are there. Laziness
waits till the river is dry and never
gets to market. Try swims it and

but Try made meat out of mush-
rooms.

In the family relation every one
should always be at his best. The
home ought to be a heaven. thought
to be as nearly heaven as is possible
on earth. There should be no pur-
posely withered flowers about the
hearthstone and no purposely clouded
sunbeams. Selfshness alone ought
to be sufficient to make home conduct
exemplary. Certainly all want a
pleasant home. Certainly all want
smiles instead of frowns. Home
should be just one blaze of sunshine,
but it cannot be while some member
of the family circle is swapping and
fault-finding and selfish. Do people
ever go more deliberately and insanely
at work to make themselves miserable
than they do when they deliberately
cloud the lights of the only place on
earth where they have any reason to
expect anything like perfect quiet and
happiness?

W. W. WEST.

The man whose name is written
over this article resides at Richton,
in Perry county. He was raised in
Wayne county and but lately mi
grated to the town of his present
abode. West is a practitioner of the
law, is younger man than his OPP
ponent, Mr.. McAllister, but is en-
joying a very lucretive practice.
This is not his first entry into poll
tics. He came very near being elect
ed representative in Wayne several
years ago. Then he a little later
than this, and since his removal to
Richton, offered for the place to which
he now aspires, State Senator, but
discovering that there was some
question being raised as to his eligi-
bility he gracefully withdrew, but
now is on the hustings with nothing
as to constitutional or statutory quail
ifications against him. His personal
life and record are known to the peo-
pie of the district, his acquaintance
extending to its remotest bounds.
He is rather late about sending us
his announcement, but his campaign
is already fully launched, so that it
devolves upon us to say but little
about him. as the saying has already
been going on for some time. The
people are better qualified to Judge,
and it is their Office to do so, whether
or not, he will make legislator of
the type they are going to require to
set in the upper house of our next
law-making body, than we. It is
within our province only to present
his name with these few directory
and leave it up to the stuff
ragists to do the balance. This per-
forms our function The balance of

Her Monument.

She built it herself, and she did not
know that she had monument. She
lived in it, but did not know that it
existed.
Her monument was her home. 1t
grew SO quietly, as quietly as flower
grows, and no one knew-she did not
know it herself-how much she had
done to tend and water and train it.
Her husband had absolute trust in
her. He earned the money; she ex-
pended it. And as she put as much
thought in her expenditure as he put
in his earnings, each dollar was doub-
led in the expanding. She had in
herited that mysterious faculty which
we call taste, and she cultivated it
with fidelity. Every home she visit
ed she studied, tho always uncon-
sciously, as though it were museum
or all art gallery; and from every visit
she brought away some thought
which came out of sher loving imag-
nation fitting it.jnto its appropriate
place in her own home. She was too
genial to be an immitator-fo immi-
tation is always of kin TO falsehood-
and she abhorred falsehood. She was
patient with everything but a lie.
So she never copied in her home or
on her person what she had seen else
where; yet everything she saw else
where entered into and helped to
complete the perfect picture of life
which she was always painting with
def fingers in everything, from the
honeySuckle which she trained over
the door, to the bureau in the CUES is
room which her designing made new
model of art for every new friend, IL
it were only by new nosegay and a
change of vases. Putting her own
personality into her home, making
every room and almost every article
of furniture speak of her, she had the
gift to dray out from every guest his
personality and make him at home
and so make him his truest and best
self. Whether man or woman of the
world could long resist the subtle in
tiuences of that home; the warmth of
its truth and love thawed out the
frozen proprieties from impersonated
etiquette, and whatever circle of
friends sat on the broad piazza in
summer or open fire in winter knew
for time the rare Joy of liberty
the liberty of perfect truth and per-
feet love. Her home was hospitable
because her heart was large; and any
one was her friend to whom she could
minister But her heart was like the
old Jewish temple strangers only
came into the court of the gentiles,
friends into the inner court; her hus-
band and children found a court yet
nearer her heart of hearts; yet even
they knew that there was holy of
holies which she kept for her God and
they loved and revered her the more
for it. So strangely was commingled
in her the exclusivepess of love, it's
hospitality and its reserve.
All, blessed home builder, there is
nothing so sacred on earth and no
earth so divine as the wife and mother
who makes it.

Must ask our County Correspon-
dents to sign their real names on
each weekly budget. We prefer this
to having you sign it one time and
the Non De plume alone thereafter
Its q simple little thing to write your
assumed name, then right under it
your real name in full. Never fear
that we will print the real name,
when a non de plume is signed above
it. You might draw line between
the two names if you wish. This will

to print. But it's not required.

Reflection

Yes, when we consider that SO vast
a number of our young people. espec-
tally the boys, make such lamentabIe
mistakes, we are led to reflect. The
boys, our boys, how soon they become
FESTIVE under the restraints of home,
and determine to become independ-
ent, and go out to mingle with the
promiscuous crowd, become familiar
with its ways, listen to it's oaths, its
songs, its obscene jests, learn to
smoke, to chew, to gamble, to associ-
ate with evil companions and at last
crazed by the devil, rum, commit
some overt act that brings them
down to shame, and disgrace falls on
those who love them best.
All who fill our jails and stand be-
meath the shadow of the gallows have
once stood where you are standing
now. Have you not seen that mother
kneel and heard her pray that you
may walk Alright, and heard that
fathers warning voice bidding you
beware? Every true friend you have
on earth unite to bid you choose
Alright. We hold the mirror up that
reflects the downward course, the
fearful end, and with no motive save
your good and no desire but your
future happiness.
