tion with the elders OF the church, and

| Sentiment in this county is almost unan-
imous on at least two proposltions-t that
the County Board of Taxation is failure,
and that uniting National, State, County
and Municipal elections has not resulted
either in economy of election expense or in
better municipal governments.
Governor Fort in his first message to the
Legislature, said:-
'sThe Board in each County consists of
three members. They are paid by the
State, and their annual cost 30 the State is
| S9l 200 besides the expense to the coun-
tiesp
s'Such an expensive piece Of government
tai machinery should only be maintained If
results beneficial to the State or to the citi-
zens flow from it. For myself, 1 have been
unable to discern any advantage resulting
TO the State or the people from these
Boards study OF the situation IN the
| light of events seems to me to indicate the
opposite result The ostensible purpose of
the creation OF these Boards was to procure
| the equalization of values. II this were the
reason, then the two years they have been
established is a long enough time to accom-
plish this end, and their further existence
is unnecessary
In the selection Of County candidates
this year, the Democratic party ADOPTED a
platform of principles, and among the dec
laratIons Of that platform the repeal of both
these obnoxious laws is demanded, and the
candidates nominated pledge themselves to
so vote, if elected.
We understand that one of the Republi-
can legislative candidates personally fayors
wiping out the Tax Boards. But if Govern
or Fort failed to accomplish this we are
warranted in the deduction that the job
cannot be accomplished by the party that
created them This is one of the reforms
that cannot be secured within She party.
How futile then for Mr.. Gaunt to say
that he will do what Governor Fort, with
all the power Of his high office, was unable
to accomplish.
This reform, then, must be accomplished
by Democratic reprpsentatives-me of the
opposite party from the sixty three reoip-
len Of the 81, 200 state dollars referred to
by Governor Fort.
This issue is with she taxpayers, who pay
the money and take their choice.

OUR COUNTY CANDIDATES.
JOSEPH r. NEWTON.

The people of Gloucester county this
Fall are to be more than congratulated that
they have the opportunity to vote for such
a man as Joseph r. Newton, OF Woodbury.,
for member OF The State Senate A cleaner,
more straightforward, more honest, more
trustworthy, more estimabIe gentleman is
not to be found in the countv-yea, and
even in the>State. Mr.. Newton is man
OF character, integrity and stability. He
stands for that which he helieyes to be right
through thick and thin. He has the courage
Of his convictions, and once ne believes he
is on the right track cannot be turned from
his purpose by the tricks or subtle subter-
fuges of those who would bend man of
ordinary experience to meet their desires.
Mr.. Newton always has pleasant word
for everybody. Years Of practical business
experience has given him a knowledge Of
men that is SO much needed in the modern
legislator
Do you know Mr.. Newton? If not,
make his acquaintance. He will visit every
section of the county between now and
November third, and desires to meet every
body in the county, no matter what his
political creed may be.
sYou can always judge a man by the
company he keeps. " says the adage, but
you can also tell mans worth by what
his neighbors think of him. When you are
in Woodbury. ask anybody about s.Joen
Newton. II that man has been citizen
here long enough to know she people Of the
town he will tell you, even il he is Re-
publican, that Mr.. Newton is one of the
very best citizens of Woodbury., and would
make an excellent representative of the
people. But better than heresay is actual
acquaintance with the man himself. Years
ago Mr.. Newton carried the Third Ward of
Woodbury. when nominee for Council,
and made an enviable record, and in No.
yember he is going to carry the whole city
We urge again, meet Mr. Newton, and
learn for yourself that our candidate for
Senator meets the needs of the times.

NIill the CeKS 40 Dry?

Last week, the firm OF r NJ Sharpless.
Of West Chester, Pa, manufacturers Of
milk separators, served notice on their
employees. that if Bryan and Kern were
elected, they would be obliged to close
their works, as there would be no mere or
ders for separators. This news reached
Mr.. Bryan, at Paris, Missouri, and be at
once made reply, as follows:
"a press dispatch announces this morn
ing that a Pennsylvania manufacturer OF
separators has given notice to his employees
that the factory will close down for an ex-
tended period if | am elected This ls the
most discouraging threat that | haye yet
read | had supposed that the COWS would
go on giving milk under a Democratic Ad.
ministration as we'll as under Republican; /;
but, If as result of my election, COWS are
going to dry up in November and not be-
come fresh again for four years, it will
really be serious matter.
There must be some mistake about this
separator business. The men may be
manufacturing the separator that the Res
publican party has been using, for it ha-
been using separator that has separated
the cream from the milk, and is has given
the cream TO the monopolies, and the SKIM
med milk to the rest Of the people. That
kind Of separator will no longer be used
and those who manufacture it may find
their occupation gone, but for the rest of
the people it will be glad day, day of
rejoicing

Bio Bankers Oppose.

Mr.. Taft says he is in favor Of postal
savings banks-so does the Republican
platform. The Republican party has been
in power IL years. Why hasn't it estab-
lished postal savings banks? Mr.. Taft op-
poses guaranteeing bank deposits. The Re-
publicans in Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin
and other states advocate guaranteeing de-
posits. but the big bankers oppose this pro-
tection. What the big bankers say goes
with the Republicans. Why do they wish
postal savings banks? Because they know
the money deposited in postal savings banks
would 90 into the big banks and strengthen
their control Of the finances of the country.

TRUSTS ARE NOT HURT
But Business in Other Lines Has Beer
Seriously Affected by the Panic
That Still Hurts.

Mr.. Taft Says that the panic is about
over and that conditions have about
reached normal. That does not corre-
spond with the view of the Chicago
board of education that $1,000 children
go to school hungry, partly because
their fathers cannot get empi5yment
and because of the increase in tle
cost of living.
The Saturday Evening Post of re-
cent date, contains more statistics
showing that, according to the reports
OF the New York savings banks. the
number of accounts opened for the
year ending July l was $1,000 less
than for the year before while the
number of accounts closed was 4S.O0O
greater than the year before. The
amount deposited was $4,000, 600 less
and the amount withdrawn $41 ,OOO. coo
more. This shows a large shrinkage
in the savings Of tie people of that
state. And now comes a New York
wholesaler with the statement that on
July D the firm addressed d letter to
the wholesale grocers biscuit bakers
and confectioners of the United States.
asking for figures showing trade con
ditions at that time compared with six
statements for the eastern states.
southern states and the middle west:
Staple groceries. 10 per cent less in
the eastern states. II per cent. less in
the southern states and per cent. in
tie middle west
Sales of groceries classed among
the luxuries, 10 per cent less IN The
eastern states, 1S per cent less in the
southern states and Is per cent. less
in the western states. The falling OF
in biscuit and bakers articles and in
confectioners trade shows substantial
ly the same per cent"
TO show how the trusts can escape
from the evils that afflict others. Mr..
Bryan recently called attention to the
fact that a recent issue of the Wall
Street Journal shows that the Interna-
tional Harvester company made larg-
er net profits last year than In any
preceding year, and the directors OF
the International Harvester company
are largely the same as the directors
Of the steel trust.

WILLIAM G. ALLEN.


Two weeks ago, at the first meeting of
the Bryan and Kern Club, one of the most
prominent Republicans in the county, and
an office holder in Woodbury., took the floor
as Mr.. Allen was taking his seat after a
short speech, and said: Gentlemen, ! have
already told you | was out for Joseph R.
Newton for Senator and was open to CON
vicsion as to the rest OF the ticket. | have

everybody in the county does knows that
what the gentleman above said is true. Is

Col. Edwin A. Steyens, Of Hoboken, head
Of the well known Castle Point family, has
written letter TO William J. Bryan, as
suring him Of his support for presi-
dency Of the United States.
In '96 and 100 Colonel Stevens was against
Mr.. Bryan's nomination and election. He
was one Of the large number of Democrats
who helped in both those years TO swell
She Republican majority. The fact that
She Taft managers haye refused to make
public the names Of the contributors to the
campaign fund before election is feature
Of She Republican campaign that has made
Mr.. Taft's candidacy particularly obnox-
ions to him. Then, he said, too, at Stew
ems Castle yesterday, that be is opposed to
the running Of the nation by any cliques,
either Of trusts or Of men; and that he
tbinks the interests Of the people will be
safer in Mr.. Bryan's hands than in MIR.

Mr.. Taft was forced upon bis party, and he
is now being forced upon she country, by
Mr.. Roosevelt.

'sThe Republican Plan Of Regulating
The Trusts"

In a speech in the West Mr.. Taft told the
people that if Mr.. Bryan succeeded he
would put trust controlled articles on the
freeslist, but that the Republicans would
not do anything of the sort, but ''the Re-
publican plan of regulation is the proper
remedy The Republican plan of reg
ulasion'' has been in operation y years,
with the result that under Mckinley 1877
new trusts were organized, and under
Roosevelt 107 new ones began business. II
ssshe Republican plan Of regulating is
proper. why do trusts multiply and why do
they continue TO practice extortion?

years has been connected with the national
organization, brought the disturbing news
