Taft's Running Mate.

From The Richmond Times-Dispatch, 20.
"Jim" Sherman is the weakest Of Jo-
seph G.. Cannon's three personal hench-
men on the floor of the House. There
is nothing radical, Independents or adj
vanced about Jim Sherman. He is an
old-1ine party man of the oldest line
there is. To the centre and foundation
of his being he stauds for every idea,
tenet and policy that Democracy is
pledged to fight. He is a faithful
industrious. accommodating and SUBJ
servient wheelhorse, who has worked
long enough and hard enough to have a
rich reward drop into his facile palm.
= Taking orders is Jim Sherman's long
suit. Joseph G. Cannonon, a hard
master, in the apt phrase of j. Sloat
Fassett: "He belives in party purposes
and disciplines." In the matter of the
tariff he warmly shares the views of
his master, Payne and Dalzell. His
large canning factory in Utica has
doubtless stiffened his views as to a
schedule which will guarantee "a rea-
sonable profit to American industries"

Taft's Weak Point.

=. Wharton Barker, who was the Popu.
list candidate for President four years
ago, is not a Taft admirer Mr.. Barker,
in an interview declared: W.
81 consider Taft's nomination the
weakest that could be made by the
Republican party. 1 have seen a good
many national conventions, but 1
never saw any fall sc fiat as the one
just closed. In these days a good
base ball game attracts more attention
than a national convention. Their are
four questions that will cost Taft many
hundreds of thousands of votes: The
Aldrich financial bill, recently passed;
the Taft decision on the labor question
while he was a Federal Judge; his
course in the Philippine Islands, and
his attitude i'll supporting Roosevelt in
the dismissal of the colored troops. His
nomination will not have any bene-
fetal effect on the business world"

1t has been the custom for several years
for the PENIS Grove Tribe of Redmen to
have a day of sports, and general recrea-
ton. This year the Tribe Invited Viola
Council, Jr. 0, U. A: M; Washington
Camp, P. 0. s. of A.; Lieut.. E. H. Green
Camp, S. of V. and Liberty Fire Company
to unite with them in the celebration OF
the day. The Societies soon caught the
vision and the inspiration OF such an
occasion. Committees were appointed
and met last Saturday evening and decid
ed to set apart Thursday, July the Thir-
tieth, for a Civic Gala Day, a day in
which the community and surrounding
country could participate. A committee
was appointed to prepare a program for
the occasion, which reported on We'd
nesday evening of this week. The report
was adopted and ordered published in the
RECORD. 1t give a clear idea of the COM
mittee's purpose to make this the largest
day in the history OF Penn's Grove. The
Societies have each contributed $1,000 to-
ward q fund tor arrangements for the
event. The committee calls upon the
citizens of Penn's Grove and the people
of the entire surrounding country, to unite
heart and soul in making Thursday,
July 30th, a day Of the broadcast and high
est amusement and recreation.

fhe Benefit Of Fire Wardens.

Reports made to the New Jersey Fore
Reservation Commission show the value
of the new law requiring fire wardens in
townships and other districts containing
wood land. 1t is shown that thousands of
dollars have been saved in this way to
South Jersey.
In Cumberland County $4,000 worth of
cord wood was saved by fighting II fire.
To June l, 249 fires have burned 1854
acres and destroyed property valued at
$2S, 224. While that ia bad enough in
1908, S5,046 acres were burned and the
estimated loss was $305, IA.

The New Jersey delegate to the
Denver convention will present the
name of Frank S. Katzenbach as a can
didate for Vice President, because Of
his big run for Governor last fall. His
nomination might be good policy but
we fail to see where the prin-
ciples come in. But then the New
Jersey delegates may inhale the microbe
of progressive democracy when they get
in the pure and rare air of Pixies Peak and

Gunners Take Notice

Chapter 204 of the laws of the last
New Jersey Legislature makes it I'M
lawfnl for any person to tresspass ON
the occupied lands OF another for the
purpose of hunting with gun or fish
or game enumerated in the statues,
without the consent of the owner or
person in possession Of such lands first
be obtained. The fine for violation
may be ten dollars or ten days impris-
onment, or both.
This law would appear to make it
necessary for all gunners to obtain
permission before going on lands be-
longing to others. Whether the words
occupied lands used in the statue
covers woodlands and marshes, not
fenced i'll, may possibly be open to
question,

The Power of Advertising

The power of advertising is told by
a manager of the toilet department of
a large New York department store.
"We have six different makes of one
toilet article" he said, "and they are
so near alike in quality that even ex,
perts can't tell the difference between
them, yet we sell as much Of one as
we do all the others together. just be-
cause the manufacture is everlastingly
advertising it. The other five sell in
proportion to the amount Of advertising
given to them. If there is any difference
in quality, it is in favor of the poorest
seller. Los Angeles Times.

WALTER WILLIAMS.

Walter Williams, editor and
proprietor Of the Columbia
Herald, recently appointed to
the deanship Of the school Of
journalism to be established at
the University of Missouri, seems
to be a prophet without honor in
his own country. The Missouri
Oven, published by the students
Of the University and reputed to
reflect their almost unanimous
sentiment, says the following:
With the announcement that
Walter Williams has been elected
to the position of Dean of the
School of Journalism, the board
of Curators might have made an
interesting contribution to the
Publications of the University if
they had given out a statement
of his qualifications for the po-
sition and the methods by which
by which he obtained it. Since
the board did not see fit to make
public these matters, it remains
for the Oven to call attention to
them.
In regard to his qualifications;
Is he a college man? Not that
anyone ever heard Of. Is he a
journalist? His paper does not
show it. He knows nothing
about metropolitan journalism.
That is not the only kind, to be
sure, but is it not important
that the Dean of the School of
Journalism in the University
should know something about it?
Is he a teacher? No one ever
heard Of his being such except
in connection with a certain Sun
day School class which he was
invited to discontinue for the
good of the church in which he
held it.
Why then has he been elected
to such a position? There is but
one answer. He elected him
self. A hard thing to sayf
Probably, but truth is frequent
ly harsh. How did he consum-
mate the deal? Let's see. He
was a member of the Executive
Board of Curators. The dea.
to give him the position was
Matched in the Executive Board.
And it may be noted here that one
member of that board made the
boast not many years ago tina
: he and Walter Williams were The
board and ran the University
Does not that smack of graftg
1t may also be noted that tn,
statutes of the State provide tina
no one whei is related to a member
+ of the Board even by marriagl
shall be elected to a position il
the University. In the light 0
: that statute what do you think o
the Board electing one of its owl
d members to a position7 Wha
do you think of the membe
who has been The Board electinl
himself to the position? What

FROM THE RECORD.

Hon. Robert Lamar of Nilsson
ri succeeded on April 10th in get
ting a speech spread on the Con-
gressional Record. Judging from
its contents it was written some
ten or fifteen years ago; for it is
hard to believe that in any part
of this state conditions are such
as would provoke any man to
write the following;
We may for a passing moment
admire the tinsei and the glitter
of the fashionable belle; but we
worship and revere, and would
die for, the mother that taught
our infant lips to lisp their pray
er 1t is an enigma why women
aspire to be masculine All expe-
rience and all history teach us
that it is the womanly woman
that commands the respect and
admiration Of her own and sue
ceeding generations. 1t is that
type of woman whom the artists
have delighted topaint, and whom
the poets have been inspired to
describe.
Mrs. Browning's Aurora
Leigh" Tennyson's Dora
Ami, Maud and the Prin-
cess" Owen Meredeth's Lucille,
Longfellow's ''Evangeline, "
Writers Maud Muller" and
Burns Highland Mary could
never have been conceived or
written of the new woman. 2
If the new woman had been
in fashion when Byron lived, in
stead of writing the lovely lines
"She walks in beauty like the
night,
o. cioualess cIImes and starry
skiee"
he probably wouldhaye write L.
She walks in boomers sorter
tight,
The cynosure of staring eyes

Muller now, instead of saying
maud Muller, on a summers
day.

Meath her plug hat glowed the
