Having had over three months ia
which to register, there is no reason
why any voter who has neglected that
important duty should be around
annoying busy business men on pri-
mary day with his freeholder petition
In fact, no blame should be attached
to any business man II he should
refuse to waste his time 10 signing
such petitions. n a voter can furnish
good excuse for failing to register,
such as sickness or absence from the
county, his request for aid should be
cheerfully granted. But the citizen
who has failed to register, through
carelessness or neglect, should be left
without vote, just to teach him
lesson.

Neutral on New York Situation.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 8.-Presi.
dent Roosevelt will maintain an atti-
tude of absolute non-interference In
'the political situation in New York
during the coming campaign, it was
learned Tuesday. The president, from
time to time during the remainder of
the summer, will receive at Sycamore
Hill number of political leaders, but
it is said that this does not mean he
will in any way interfere with any
nomination.
He has been appealed to by con-
gressmen, assemblymen and others in
the New York gubernatorial situation
in behalf of various candidates, but
he has adhered to his policy of strict
non-interfcrence. He is greatly inter.
ested in the election of Judge Taft
to the presidency and he will do all
that it is legitimately proper for him
to do to secure Mr.. Taft's election,
but further than that he will not go.
