A Reliable brokerage Firm.

Stocks will largely enhance in value
and wheat and corn likely be much
cheaper when the present crop is har-
vested, is the prediction made by Fred
W. Voigt, field man of w. B. Smith
& Co., the we'll known brokerage firm,
which has forty offices scattered
through New York, New Jersey, PEN
nsylvania. Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts,, Vermont and Canada.
While in Morristown on Wednesday,
Mr.. Voigt visited a number of clients
in the interest of his house and made
arrangements whereby orders in the
future can be 'phoned direct to the
New York Office withoutcharge to the
customer w. B. Smith & Co. is one
of the Oldest firms on "the street, be-
ing established over thirty years. Ex-
ceptional facilities are offered The GUS
toners for speedy transmission of or
ders, special wires connecting the New
York office in Bowling Green Building,
with the various exchanges of which
the firm are members.
The present Lawson campaign ana
the utmost confidence which trade in
terests generally have in the election
of Taft and Sherman, Mr.. Voigt said,
will shortly have marked effect on
stocks. Thousands of investors are en-
tering the market for the first time
and much low priced stock has and will
be taken out Of the hands of the specu-
lative element by this new faction.
w. B. Smith & Co. agree to answer any

Uncle Toms Cabin.

We stand and stare as we see the
glaring headline and our Thoughts
quickly wander back to the days OF
yore-days when the gifted authoress,
Harriet Beecher Stowe, first favored
US with her immortal work. The young,
the old, the gay, the careless, all at
different times have heard or seen the
beautiful play depicted on the stage,
or have perused the pages Of the book.
The heart interest is so intense that a
magnetic influence seems to assert it,
self at times and draw us again within
the portals of the playhouse to witness
those thrilling scenes of Ante-B Bellum
days, and we can safely propheSy that
its memory and action will linger with
us, as it has done with past gener-
ations, affording amusement, pleasure,
pathos and instruction for young and
old alike. A grand and stupendous
production of this immortal play will
be given by Stetson' S Big Double Com
pany at the Lyceum Theatre on Tues
day evening, Sept. 1st. A novel fea-.
tlIre that has been added is the mar
yelous street parade, which will be
given IN the principal streets at noon.
We feel safe in echoing the words of

NEW YORK PAPERS ON FOWLER
The Fitch District Congressman Com
mended by Metropolitan Journals.
USEFUL CONGRESSMAN.

1t is a matter of regret that the COM
plications of county and district poll
tics should throw any doubt upon the
denomination of Representative Charles
N. Fowler, of the 9Th New Jersey Dis
trict Mr.. Fowler could be i'll spared
from Congress, where his expert
knowledge of financial topics has been
of great value to the country, and will
be of still more service in framing 6
financial legislation of a permanent
character, a difficult task which will
be before the national legislature dur
ing the next session and for several
sessions to come
OF the subject of finance Mr. Fowler
is one of the few thorough students
in American public life. In the House
of Representatives he is easily the
leader in his grasp of this subject, and
his position as chairman of the. House
Committee on Currency and Banking
has enabled him to use his knowledge
effectively in opposing unwise make
shifts and in forming the opinion of his
fellow members and of the country at
large in favor of genuine currency re-
form upon sound principles.
The Republicans of Union, Morris
and Warren counties cannot replace
Mr.. Fowler with any other man who
can serve the country as well as he
can upon this difficult ana gravely im-
portant subject. No other man whom
they can choose will occupy so promi-
nent and important a place in the ma
tional capital as their present repre-
sentatie, nor reflect as much credit up
on the district. Mr. Fowler should be
renominated.-N. Y. Tribune.

The surface of New Jersey politics
this year is disturbed by some notice.
able cross currents, but we trust that
no local and temporary interest or
sentiment will prevent the renomina-
tion and reelection of Congressman
Charles N. Fowler in the Fifth Dis

Warren Counties cannot very well af-
ford to dispense with representative
who has at all times served them with
credit, and for whose recollection this
year reasons of great force and weight
may be urged.

longer required for the transaction of

Congressman Fowler's bill a distin-
gushing merit above any other pro-
posal made during the session
The Fifth New Jersey District would
be ----advised should it set aside a
Congressman who has won for himself
such title of distinction in favor of
any other aspirant for the place, since
il is hardly possible that an untried
Congressman would be able to per-
form services in which his district
would feel the same degree of pride.
In a peculiar sense the Nation has
need of Mr.. Fowler in the House of
Representatives.. There is hardly any
other Republican Congressman in the
whole list who Is so urgently and con-
spicuously needed.--N. Y. Times.
