THAT WHITE HOUSE DINNER ON THURSDAY.

Governor Forts visit tic the White House next Thursday has been SO widely
commented on n sc much conjecture has been made a IS to tits possible ur-
port that it assumes something OF the aspect Of a national incident H.
as darkly hintcd, the legs of New Jerseys executive under the presidential
mahogany mean a compact whereby the. Roosevelt ticket in the Chicago
VEN will be William H. Taft and John Franklin Fort then, indeed, the
incident is national but that is pure conjecture and it may &c pure romance.
President Roosevelt makes no bones Of showing his preference Tor his
secretary of var for the Chicago nomination, and naturally his sohcitude
would extend to tho choice of a running mate for Taft. If Taft is nomi-
natcdf r President the vce-p resdential candidate must be taken from the
East. Hughes, IF New York. would he a good candidate, but he is N the rum
ming fn the presidential office and would not stand for second place. Apart
from Hughes what other New York man would be available? Senator Knox,
Of Pennsylvania, would dc, but also is in tho presidential race and besides
his State is sure in its vote anyhow.
New Jersey, sandwiched in between New York and Pennsylvania and
representative OF both. m of the whole East, IA offer several good vice
presidential candidates, and naturally the most prominent is New jerseys
present Governor. New Jersey may be doubtful and a Jersey vce-pres-
DENTAL candidate might secure the State for Taft. Hence the conjecture as
the real object of the White House dinner to Governor Fort may not be
altogether extravasant and u of the way

What is the relation Of the order of

1.-THE order of the Eastern Star is not
a branch of Masonry; its relation to the
latter fraternity Is that zone are elig-
ible to the Eastern Star save master
masons and women of certain degrees
of kinship with such. The order was
originated in February, 1850, by DR..
Robert Morris. He first conferred the
degree in New York, in Hope Chapel,
ZIG Broadway, in 1858. In 1855 he pro-
mulgated a system of organization OF
subordinate bodies, known as %constel-
lations. In 1859 he devised a new and
simpler ritual. providing for subordi-
nate bodies, known as families. In 1855
DR.. Morris turned the whole informal
system over to Robert Macoy, who de-
vised the present organization of subor-
dinate chapters, the first in New York

The pinch of the times is provocative of thought in politics. When men
realize in their circumstances that politics has something to do with their
individual welfare, that politics Is not. merely a sentiment OIL passion, but
something that relates to their bread and butter, they are disposed to
think and act more circumspecty than otherwise. When times are good the
average man is optimistic and he is careless about government and it's af
fairs. He run to sentiment and craftsmanship in his politics and a person
aty has more claim for him than a policy II principle. When times are
bad he becomes interested in the causes thereof and sonchous for their
removal II sheen truly said that demouades are always conservative,
and there is a reason. A seCgovernng people know that in their politics
they can make or mar their own fortunes, and they are insinctively con
sentative in the policies they favor a such times, when conservatism spells
safety
1t has also been said that New Jersey is prominently a conservative
State and it is as its whole political history shows. 1t has the oldest State
constitution in the United States and its judicial system is patterned on
that of England nor than a century go. And New Jersey is perhaps the
most prosperous State of the Union and has the largest decennial growth
Of any State. The logic of the present time leans therefore to conservatism
and lot to radicahsn, both in the State and nation. There is a deal Of
sober thinking going on among the voting masses everywhere, and it is
stimulated by the apprehensions for the future that are felt by every man
who is capable Of intelligent thought.
