BROTHER JACOB l.. BUNNELL of the
New Jersey Herald" Newton, an
nounces himself as a candidate for the
senatorial nomination in that county,
next fall. He says Friends of the
editor of this paper are sufficiently
kind to say that the service he has
rendered the party for so many years
through the columns of the Herald,
and the. repeated assurances given
during the senatorial campaign of 1906
that he would be the Democratic SEN
atorial candidate in 1909, should figure
as valuable assests the coming year.
We would be little less than human If
we failed to place proper value upon
the encouraging words and promises
of support that come tolus from nearly
every, if not every voting precinct in
the county. Suffice it is to say that
while approaching the senatorial NOM
nation as a recognition of loyal and
conscientious service, should the Dem
ocratic party in it's more mature judg-
ment deem it proper to award the
honor to either Messrs. Morris, Tiff,
Simpson, Meyer, Martin, or Price,
they will have the same enthusiastic
and effective support of the Herald
and its editor personally as has been
given in the past. +" ~
Certainly If any one ever deserved
the favor of his party Brother Bunnell
is the man. Always loyal to his con-
victions he has ever given hearty
support to the party candidates, and
the fact that Sussex county is always
Democratic is due in no small degree
to his efforts. The only fault we have
to find with his announcement is that
he is not aggressive enough. The pol
iticians have his assurance in advance
thathe will support the other fellow,
and they will take advantage of it.

THE usual comments on the waste
of time by the Legislature Is now go
ing the rounds of the press, The idea
seems to be that all the business OF
the Legislature should be crowded in
three or four weeks. This is all bosh.
When 1t is considered that it takes at
least a week after bill is introduced
toget it printed and about as much
longer to get it to the people inter
ested, it is plain to be seen that tc
have a short session it would be neces-
sary to have all bills introduced the
first week IL the people are to have
anything to say about them. There
is enough pernicious legislation as it
Is and if it was all crowded into a
months time there would be far
more. Fully thirty per cent. of the
legislation now is to repeal and amend
defective bills of former sessions.

JACOB o. ARNOLD is to be congrat-
ulated upon the result OF the recount
of the votes in the Second ward by
which he secures'his seat in the board
of aldermen by good majority. In
taking up the matter he not only was
standing for his rights but also for the
Republican party in the town. This
gives a good working majority in the
board and will doubtless save much
contention. Another good feature of
the recount is that it settles some
questions in regard to what consti-
tutes marked ballots, The Republi-
can members of the election board
we're evidently easy to permit twenty
seven ballots to be thrown out with
out making a vigorous protest and
holding up the returns.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

There lisa strong movement through
out the state to make the Strong law
which permits the people at gen.
eral or special election to change the
system of county government from
board of freeholders to county COM
missioners mandatory. The change
is demanded in the interest of effici-
ency, of economy and of fixed re-
sponsibility. But it's hard to bring
about the reform when there are so
many freeholders and prospective
'freeholders to oppose it. Two or
three men dominate the proceedings

Sweet Sandwiches.

Sweet sandwiches are new and may
be made from thin slices of stale or
rather tough cake, having layer of
ground or pounded nuts or nuts pound
ed fine in mortar and held to the
cake by the thinnest possible layer Of
jam, marmalade or jelly.
A bit of preserved ginger placed at
intervals on the slices before they are
laid together is delicious. Maraschino
cherries cut in quarters may also be
used. M
When sandwiches Of different kinds
are served on the same plate they
should be so arranged and marked
that the guest may choose according
to his or her taste.
A sweet sandwich having cherries
inside should have half a cherry on
one corner, and that with preserved
ginger should be similarly marked
with ginger.

THE SCHOOL MONEYS.


The Freehold transcript" says that
now the people are asked to either
pay state tax or submit to have
their school moneys cut off, which
would amount to the same thing. "
There is one fact about that liberal
donation Of two and a half million
dollars to the school fund that should
not be lost sight of. For just one year
the schools have had the benefit OF
that unexampled generosity on the
part of the Legislature. The results
have not been encouraging. In fact,
they seem to have been almost
opposite to what was expected. In
many instances taxes have been in
creased instead Of lowered.
If the state treasury was overlooking
with money, the policy adopted would
be bad. 1t begets prodigality and ex-
travagance. The people can be de-
pended upon to support the schools,
and there are many directions in which
a portion Of the railroad taxes could
be spent to much better advantage.
AS to a state tax-there are many
worse things, that could happen to

THOUGHTFUL. men are concerned
over the fact that the census gather
ers at Washington have secul e statis-
tics going to show that in the twenty
years between 1887 and 1906 there have
been nearly twelve million marriages
and nearly one million divorces. That
is an alarming show of the want Of
sanctity for the marriage tie, and it is
no wonder that the good. people of the
country are getting up in arms against
the ease with which it is dissolved.
An interesting feature of the statis-
tics is the fact chat business panics are
unfavorable to marriage contracts,

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
10 Make SECURING Balls.

Not every housekeeper knows how
to prepare securing balls. The follow
ing is a good method: Mix fuller's
earth and strong suds of white CASTLE
soap to stiff paste, then work this
into balls about the size Of hens eggs
and allow them to dry.
To use, first remove all surface dirt
with brush after shaking and sponge
the soiled places lightly with tepid wa
ter.
Then rub gently, but very thorough
", with one of these balls. The gar
ment should be hung in dry place for
day or so, then the dry earth brush
ed off, After this 1t is ready for press
ing.
Another way of making these balls
is to use five ounces Of pipeclay, three
ounces of powdered French chalk and
three ounces of alcohol. This paste
should be nodded into small balls and
set aside to dry.

 Some of your translations are quite good l do little of it myself in my spare moments. 1 am not taking your machine, for you and 1 know how very nearly impossible it is to sell a sec ond-hand typewriter.
 You will forgive me, my dear col league, for not signing this letter, and you need not fear a return visit from me. There is nothing worth taking in your rooms.'

Measures Hardness of Metals.

An instrument to measure the hard ness of metals has been recently de- vised, more especially designed and found very useful in the manufacture of tools like twist drills, where the hardness has to be kept between mar row limits. It consists of a glass tube, within which a steel ball of 40 grains weight, treated by special process so as to have jewel hardness, falls freely. The height of the rebound of the ball measures the hardness of the metal it strikes. Were the area of contact between the dropped weight and the metal larger, so that no ap- preciable dent were made, the rebound would be measure of elasticity rath- CT than hardness. The height of the rebound is measured on a scale. of which 100 is the average hardness of carbon steel, which is also found to be the safety limit for steel tools after relocating and tempering ready for use.
