The question asked by the New
York Sun, "Who is the biggest liar in
the United States?" remains unan-
swered. If a crazy newspaper could
be materialized into personality, we
should say that the Sun is the biggest
liar, in its uncalled for and wicked
abuse of President Roosevelt.

Chief justice Emery is reported as
saying that he finds heavy fines
against rumsellers more effective
than Jail sentences. That we are
sure is not the common experience.
OF course there are rumsellers who
have become so low and thoroughly
debased by the traffic that they have
no pride or self respect. The only
calamity they see about a Jail SEN
tence is suspension Of business for
few weeks. But with the socalled
"high toned" rumsellers, it is far diff
ferent. The fine amounts to moth
ing-that they can easily collect from
their customers-but they fear the
frowning walls of a Jail. We have
known many such to abandon the
business when confronted with this
alternative, showing that they still
have little pride left.

The great engineering feat of con-
structing a tunnel under the hitherto
unconquerable Hudson, linking New
Jersey with New York, has been com
pleted, and trains are now daily pass
ing through the tunnel, which has
cost sixty millions of dollars. Won
derful achievement of wonderful
age! This new means of transporta-

summer remaining sections of the
Hudson Il Manhattan Railroad, COM
prising in all eighteen miles of tunnels
and subways, will be finished and in

in that he carried out the old ideas
of Hamilton who believed that one
tenth of the people were born booted
and spurred to ride the other nine
tenths who were born saddled. He
referred to writings of Blaine, to
show that he at heart favored a low
tariff in preference to high tariff
and told how the high tariff ruins the
income of the farm. He closed with
very eloquent sentences when he said

Roosevelt and then gave a dozen in

Congressman Chas. ID. Carter was
next introduced Mr.. Carter said he
did not attribute all good things to
the democrats and all evil things TO
the republicans. He eulogized La.
Toilette. republican senator from Wis.
la Toilette were turned down at the
Republican national convention and
how about the same ideas were in.
corporated into the democratic plat
form at Denver. He said the republi.
cans for the past twelve years had
iseen teaching false doctrines and
now they were the victims of these
false teachings. They have led the
people to believe that republicanism
stands for prosperity while democracy
stands for adversely. He then traced
the different panics OF the country
and showed that nearly all of them
had taken place under republican
rule and republican policies had
caused all of them. He told of the
legislation the people might expect as
! long as republicans are kept in the
saddle and, tariff legislation is left in
| the hands of John Dalzell Of Pittsburg
| Pa. as II Is now. He referred to the
! Aldrich currency law. The president
was taken TO terms for mixing NJ
with a mud singing political row
with Gov. Haskell. At the mention oi
the name OF Governor Haskell the
! people cheered and repeated hurrahs
for Bryan and Haskell were heard.
Mr.. Carter and Mr. Franklin were
repeatedly cheered. The crowd was IN
a good humor and the mention OF
Bryan always brought applause.
F. A. Bonner and Chief OF Police
Garrett who had the rally in charg,
are due the credit for it's success.

TORCH LIGHT PROCESSION
AND DEMOCRATIC RALLY

The political demonstration last
night surpassed the expectations OF
the people. A thousand voters and al
most that many school boys were in
line of march with lighted torches

Main and doubled back down the
street and passed up again to the
opera house amid the shouts of thous
an1s of democrats the band struck NJ
Dixie and the crowds went wild. Hats
were thrown into the air and the
others for Bryan passed. from one to

red lights shed a glow upon the
crowds that made the scene a most
impressive and beautiful one.
When the opera house doors were

until scarcely seat was left and
hundreds were turned away.
Sidney Suggs called the vast audi
ence to order and introduced A. c
Cruce as chairman OF the evening. Mr.
! Cruce approached the front of thC
stage and made few remarks abou
| the importance of the election. HI
