Governor Hughes continues to
prove that he is governor. Hughes
is making a fine reputation for a
presidential candidate next year. The
republicans will have to name some
such man as New York's chief execu-
tive, La Toilette or Taft, in order to
win. There can be no compromise.
The fight, so well started and carried
on by President Roosevelt, must be
continued, and the people will have
it so. If the republican party fails
therein Bryan will sweep the coun'

HANDLING THE SNOW.

Much praise is due the street de-
partment, under the direction of AL
derman Stacey and Street Commits
sioner Fullerton, for the able manner
in which it handled the snow storm
yesterday. All Monday night, while
the storm was raging furiously,
gangs of men were hard at work
keeping down the drifts in the princi-
pal streets and preventing the snow
from piling up in front of the fire
houses and hydrants. The work
seemed in vain for as fast as the snow
was shoveled out, it was swept in
again in great binding gusts, but the
men kept on and when the people be-
gan to stir yesterday morning the
snow plow was busy, paths were be-
ing broken and the man who had to
report for work early found walking
comparatively easy although no troll
ley cars were running and railroad
trains were anywhere from an hour
to three hours late.
BY daylight city teams were at
work carting away the snow from
the business section of the city;
crossings were cleared and the city
was ready to do business at the regu-
lar hour
While the snow plow broke the
paths it did not clear the sidewalks
by any means and every citizen
should see to 1t that the work is done
without delay. 1t is a duty he owes
to his neighbor as well as to himself
1t is to the street department, how
ever, that the credit is due. 1t has
now established a reputation for IT.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY. 6.
briggs FOR SENATOR.

The election of Frank o. Briggs to
the United States senate is decidedly
satisfactory to the corporations and
the machine politicians, but decidedly
against what the people of the state
have been fighting for. Mr.. Briggs
does not measure up to the position
to which he has been elevated. He is
a ring man just as thoroughly as
was Mr.. Dryden and the people of
New Jersey can expect little from
him. When it comes to a crisis Mr..
Briggs can be depended upon to let
the controlling faction in the senate
which, at present, is the corporation
interests, rule him. He is not man
of convictions strong enough to
stand out against all odds If he be-
lieves a thing is wrong. In short
Mr.. Briggs can be depended upon TO
support President Roosevelt as long
as Roosevelt can control the situa-
tion, but as soon as the corporation
senators see their opportunity to de-
feat the President there is little
doubt but that Mr.. Briggs will be
with them. The republican party.
has improved its position but little in
the selection of Frank o. Briggs for
United States senator.

@Hightstown is getting dead

could have a few more things as
early closing nights, order wag-
ons which bring the whole store
right to the back door of the
farmer and the rural delivery
we might go to sleep and never
wake up Wouldn't it be peace
ful?"
Cheer up sad heart. Those who
de not know the place might think
Hightstown was "deader" than the
proyerbial door-nail. Don't be so
: hard on the town. sAll the things
mentioned, such as early closing, de-
livery wagons and the rural delivery
are the signs of real progress. 1t is
evident that Hightstown is getting
in the swim, so to speak Let the

in these modern ideas, arouse him
