 cratic Majority.

The election today has been quite spirited, although rather quiet. The polls at both the Pres colt boxes opened promptly at 8 o'clock this morning, and a steady stream of voters have
 been pouring in all day. The vote in Missouri township will exceed by 100 the vote in the state election, but this is ac- counted for any reason of the fact that no poll tax receipt is necessary, which permits every one to vote, who is otherwise eligible. And on account of. the tremendous negro vote the Re- publican ticket will show big gains. It is predicted West Side box will go for Taft and Young, but the vote on East Side will more than offset this vote and give the township to Bryan and Wallace. No report has been received from the interior of the received this afternoon from the full Democratic vote is gotten out there need be no apprehen- sion of the result of the ticket.

MULES OF MEXICO.
They Are Even More knowing Than
Our Own Meek Brand,

They Are Even More Knowing Than
Our Own Meek Brand.
Everybody knows that all mules
are brainy, but the mules Of old Mex
leo have something on other mules for
sort of prescience of their own" said
man who has spent many years in
the neighboring republic. "a Mexican
mule will do Just so much work and
not blamed bit more.
THE riding mule, for instance, is
fully aware Of the distance, down to a
rod, he is supposed and required to
traverse In the progress of one travel
ing day, and all the sharp sticks or
goads or dynamite on earth won't get
him to do bit more than what he
knows to be the correct distance. The
Mexicans have got peculiar saying in
connection with this characteristic of
the Mexican mule. You ask a Mex
lean, for instance, how far it is by
mule back to such and such a point.
Two days journey IL you are not
rushed but three days If you are in a
hurry the Mexican will reply.
His meaning Is that II you don't
ask more Of your mule than you should
ask OF him, the mule will be able to
make the trip in two days. But If you
attempt to drive the brute he'll soldier
on you, and in consequence the Jour
ney Will take you three days."-Ex-

THE PHILIPPINES.

Do we in this country really believe
in square deal? Or are we content
merely when we are getting along
alright. 1t Is one thing to demand a
square deal for ones self and to be
Indifferent when the case has to do
with other people
| Take the case Of the Philippines,
The Philippines have every right to
just such favors as we have given
Porto Rico. And yet we have granted
to Porto Rico free trade with this coun-
try and imposed tariff on the prod
ucts of our far eastern possessions. Is
| that a square deal?
We have spent much money on the
| NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., roads, etc. The
Philippines appreciate all these things,
but they say what is good government,
education, transportation and develop
ment If we can not make enough mon.
ey to live on. They look at Porto
Rico with justly envious eyes and
the comparison does not help the sit
uation. The Islands are aware of the
splendid services Of Taft-and they
look forward with delight to his cleo
ton as President of the United
States. They at last see a raw of
hope.
Already the best citizens of the
Philippines have commenced a petit
ton to Congress which has already a
hundred thousand signatures. The pe-
tition sets forth the discrimination be-
tween the two possessions of this
country
1t is not strong enough to say that
this is unfair. 1t means trouble for us
later on If we do not grant this petit
ton. We shall stand in a much bet
ter light by granting it voluntarily.
Both Roosevelt and Taft have fav-
ored this subject of free trade for the
Philippines. And we sincerely trust
that the Republican voters will pledge
their congressman to adequate action
on the matter. We hope that Taft
will have the qualification of signing
the bill in which, as in all other mat
tiers pertaining to the welfare of the
Philippines, he is so sincerely inter-
ested.

WAYNE TOWNSHIP.
Trustee
JAMES H. HOWARTH,
Assessor
CHARLES E. POTTER,
THE GANG.

The recent disturbances around the
court house yard have brought us face
to face with Juvenile crime again.
Juvenile crime is different. not only
In extent and degree from adult
crime-but also has in almost all
casesdeveloped from the gang"
Authorities on Juvenile crime agree
that the Juvenile criminal except in
rare cases has no predisposition TO
crime and needs only proper influ-
ences for his development into good
citizenship. II there were nothing
else to prove this 1t would have ample
grounds for belief in the wonderful
results which Judge Lindsey of Den
yer has brought about.
Judge Lindsey of Denver has done
more for the Juvenile crime in this
land than any other man. His court
Is based on the parole system. and
he brings things to pass by putting
the boy on his honor. The bows know
that the Judge is on the square"
And when at last the boy has to go
to the industrial school-he promises
the judge that he will go-and he
does. Any boy who breaks his prom.
ises to the Judge is social outcast
among his friends
And this is the reason. The Judge
treats the boys not as criminals but
as boys. While he saves them from
the police methods-he also impresses
on them that If they abuse the priyi-
leges they get at his court, there win
be no more privileges for them. It
works.
Judge Lindsey recognizes that the
chief cause of crime is not the gang,
but the lack of things for the gang to
do. He recognizes that the treatment
for Juvenile crime is honor and con.
sideration and that the preventing is
giving the boy something to do. The

LIVED WITH HER
OUTLAW LOVER
Girl of Prominent Family in
East, Found With Desper-
ate Horse Thief.
CAUGHT AFTER A FIGHT.
ULMER GAVE BATTLE WITH A
LARGE kNIFE-PRETTY TWEEN
TY-YEAR-OLD AFFINITY WEPT
BITTERLY.

New York, July 31.-After a desper
ate fight in the woods near Fleming,
ton, N. J., Deputy Sheriffs arrested
Bert Ulmer, notorious horse thief
who had been terrorizing upper New
Jersey and Pennsylvania for several
years.
AS they overpowered him at the
door of a deserted old barn. they
found within the place Miss Mabel
Able, a pretty twenty-year-old girl,
member of one of the most prominent
families of Hunterdon county.
Yes, I've been living with him in
the woods for a month" she said 81
love him. and I'll make you send me
to Jail with him. l helped him to es-
cape and I'll do it again if l have a
chance. That's the kind of a girl l
am"
Ulmer, who was sentenced to 10
years imprisonment in the Eastern
Penftentiary at Philadelphia, a year
and half ago, was transferred, when
he feigned insanity, to the insane asy-
lum at Norristown.
Miss Able, the authorities now
learn, helped him to escape from there
by sending him a duplicate key to his
cell door concealed in a plug of to-
bacco. Then, when he got away, she
joined him near Pennington, and they
took to the woods together.
The two were boy and girl sweet
hearts before Ulmer went wrong. He
began to steal horses to raise money
to marry her. she says.
Shortly after Timers escape from
Norristown, the girl vanished from
her home at Pennington and the police
figured that she had gone to meet her
sweetheart and that they would not
go very far away. A systematic
search was begun and this morning
a deputy sheriff caught sight of u
mer carrying a bucket of water into
a ruined barn. He summoned aid
and returned. This time Timer saw
him and, whipping out a knife, put up
a fight. Only the officers revolvers
induced him to give up.
Miss Able wept bitterly when she
and Ulmer were brought into the
town. She said they had lived in a
cave before taking to the barn and
she had been very happy.

ODD USES FOR FISH.
Ono Makes a Good Barometer, Another
Weathercock.

Ono M lakes Good Barometer, Another
Weathercock.
Fishes have been put to many queer
uses while still alive, but probably the
strangest was that suggested to the
war department by an inventor The
propulsion Of submarine torpedoes was
the subject under discussion, and he
proposed that a shark be imprisoned
In tube at the rear end of the projec-
tile, Its movements to be controlled by
the active application of electricity.
In case the shark attempted to swim
away it was to be given an electric
shock and In this way kept on its
course until the torpedo had reached
its target.
Another remarkable use to which a
fish has been put is as a barometer
The leach Is very susceptible to atmos-
pheric changes, and when retained in
an aquarium is likely to throw itself
out at the approach of or during any
remarkable change of wind or wealth
er. or If in pond or stream will some
times jump on the bank. 1t has been
kept alive in aquaria as a living ba-
rometer from the superstition that GER
tain movements indicate particular
changes that are about to occur in the
weather. In Russia the dead body of
Cottus gobio. the miller's thumb, is
used as weathercock. Hung by a
single thread, 1t will point to the direc-
ton whence the wind blows.-Minne-

In an automobile were Instantly killed
last night at the Hunting Park avenue
crossing of the Reading Railway by
by an express train bound into the
city.
The automobile was struck in the
center and demolished, while the re-

along the station platform.
They were so badly mangled that it
is doubtful If the bodies can be posi-
lively identified.
1t was impossible to find enough of
the automobile intact to gain any de-
scription of it.
