Davenport Helped stranded Minister

Confirmation of the recent reports
that Mehmed Ali Bey, the deposed
Turkish minister, was financially
"broke" when he left Washington came
in statement from a friend of the ex-
diplomat. "Mehmed was absolutely
stranded" said he. "In fact, he had
to part with valuable Arabian horse
in order to raise enough funds to take
himself and family to London. The
animal was purchased by Homer
Davenport. Mehmed valued the ami
NAL at $4,000, but / don't believe he
got that much for it,"

Mr.. Fowler was among the half
dozen Republicans with courage to
ldefy the lash of Speaker Cannonds
whip, and to refuse their vote to the
ridiculous Aldrich-Vreeland bill, with
it's reversion to worn-out and discred-
tied currency expedients and its utter
" insincere pretence of a need for
hasty overnight legislation for safe
ty. There are undoubtedly members
o. the Aldrich-Cannon cabal who
would be glad to see political punish
ment administered for such insubordi-
nation to their machine, and there are
crafty political bosses in New Jersey
who would be glad to get the personal
benefit for their own nenchmen. 1t
rests with the voters or the district to
say whether such a scheme shall be
carried out ON the eve of a Congress
which will inevitably be called upon
for thorough and expert consideration
of the problem - currency reform

For years the New Jersey voters of
the Fifth Congress district have been
represented in the lower. house at
Washington by a Republican who has
reform than any other man in Con-
gress. Representative Fowler has
fought increasingly for the adoption in
our currency system of those sound
principles which would protect busi-
ness and industry from needless panics
caused by money famines and from
the periodical disturbances which al
ways threaten when they do not bring
panicS. lie has not yet succeeded in
his purpose thanks to ancient supersti-
tions on the one hand and on the other
to powerful speculative influences that
are bent upon the perpetuation of a
currency, in one form or another, that
can be used for counters on the great
gambling tables of stock markets rath-
er than to provide chiefly for the re-
quirements of legitimate business. But
while Mr.. Fowler has not yet induced
CONGRESS- to do what it oupht to do
for the convenience and safety of the
FARMER, the manufacturer, the mer-
chant and the wage earn er--the pro-
ducers OF the nations wealth---he has
so aroused public interest in this vital
matter that the fight is sure to be won.
1t may be that the speculative ele-
ment winch perpetrated the Aldrich
manipulators, and which is bitter
against Mr.. Fowler for having oppos-
ed its programme with al the energy
and ability at his command, may strive
to prevent his denomination, knowing
that If he is returned to the House
OF Representatives he will go on with
the fight until it is won. But the Re-
publicans Of the Fifth district OF New
Jersey can renominate and re-elect the
man whose valuable service in the ma
tional halls of legislation las been an
honor to New Jersey that is recog-
nized with gratitude throughout the
United States Indeed, they could not
fail to send him back to his patriotic
work without marring the fame which
he has brought to his district and
State, and without injuring the best
interests Of the country.N. X. Press.

We trust that the Republicans of
the Fifth Congressional District OF
New Jersey will lose no time, as the
date for the primary nominations APP
proaches, in making known their sem
timents regarding the present Repre-
sentative. Mr.. Charles N. Fowler. Mr..
Fowler has been one of the most use
full members of the House, since his
first election to it during 1896, in keep
ing the problem of intelligent currency
reform constantly before, the people.
AS chairman of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee in the past session,
he performed a highly important part,
even though the bill which he drew up
was unsuccessful in the House. Our
readers are aware that we did not
agree with Mr. Fowler as to the prac-
ticability and advisability of all the
propoals of his currency measure: but
that it approached the problem on cor
rect lines grappled with the imperfect
banknote system courageously, instead
o. reverting to temporary makesnifts
and thereby forced on the community
the broad consideration of the subject
every one familiar with tne situation
has readily believed.

OBITUARY.
FRED W. BARDoN.


Fred W Bardon, son of Fred B. Bar
don, of Madison, died Friday at his
parents home, 27 Greenwood avenue,
that place, after an Hines of many
months. He was operated upon five
weeks ago, but did not recover from
its effects as was hoped Mr.. Bardon
was born July 26, 1886, and had always
lived in Madison. He obtained a wide
reputation as a bowler, being men,
Der of the Madison team in the Lacka-
wanna Bowling League, proving its
fnalnstay. NOn the organization of The
Alert Bowling Club, he became mem
Der of that organization in the same
league. He captured the individual
championship of the league last season
and the year before, and was secretary
Of the association. Mr.. Bardon was
also well known as baseball player,
pitching for the Alert team of Madi-
son with much success last season.
Illness prevented his participation in
games this year.
Mr.. Bardon had wide acquaintance
and was one of the most popular young
men in Morris county. His interest in
sporting affairs was responsible for
some of this, but the greater part of it
was due to his keen sense of fairness
and display of sportmanship in con-
nection with all branches of athletics.
The funeral was held at his late
home, 27 Greenwood avenue. Madison
on Monday afternoon at three o'clock.
