For
He that would love life,
And see good days.
Let him refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips that they speak no guile
And let him turn away from evil, and
do good:
Let him seek peace and pursue It.
For the eyes of the Lord are upon the
righteous,
And his ears unite their supplication:
But the face of the Lord is upon them
that do evil.
AS the sword of the best-tempered
metal is most exible, SO the truly gen.
erous are most plant and courteous in
their behavior to their inferiors-

RUN DOWN BY EXPRESS TRAIN
Mrs. schenck, of Littleton, Dies in
HOSPITAL as the Result.

Mrs. w, A. Schenck, of Littletcn,
was killed by the Morristown express
while backing down from Morris Plains
shortly after five O'Clock on Saturday
afternoon. She was walking between
the tracks between Hanover avenue
and the Higgins cut when seen by the
brakeman, who had the whistle and
brake in charge on the rear platform.
He whistled to draw her attention,
but instead of stepping away from the
train she walked right in front of it
before he could bring the train to
stop. She was violently thrown by
the impact of the bumper of the car
and had bad cut in the head
both of her legs broken and her back
injured. The victim was placed in
the cars and carried to the station,
where hurry call was sent for an am
bulance, but just after her arrival in
Memorial Hospital she died.
Mrs. Schenck was about sixty years
of age and not in the best condition
mentally. Some time ago the matter
of placing her in the Morris Plains
Hospital was considered, but her con-
dition improved so that it was not
considered necessary and she remained
home. On Saturday afternoon her
husband was home painting fence,
but his wife in some way eluded him
and the first he knew of her departure
was the news of her end. She had
walked to the Morris Plains station,
leaving letter for her husband in the
post office, which he received some
time after when he was called. Then
she walked on down Speedwell avenue
rapidly and down Hanover avenue to
the railroad, the gateman who knew
her by sight being surprised at her
presence there.

TIE PLATFoRNr.

The platform endorses the admins
tration of President Roosevelt and OF
Governor Fort and stands by the Re-
publican policy of a protective tariff.
1t was drawn by former Gov. Stokes,
Hamilton E. Kean, United States Sena-
tor Briggs and Congressman Gardner,
appointed by the State Committee last
Monday night to make a draft. 1t is
as follows:
1.-The Republicans of New Jersey re-
affirm their adherence to the principles
OF the Republican party. Under its
guidance the country has grown in
wealth and morality, until it is the
most powerful among the nations OF
the earth and pre-eminent in it's in
tluence for Justice and right
The administration of President
Roosevelt, supported by Republican
Congress, has raised the standards of
fair dealing among nations and men,
both at home and abroad
We earnestly uphold and commend
his management and direction of ma
tional and international affairs; his
views and recommendation for peace
and arbitration in dispute among ma
tions; for the strengthening of our
army and navy-that we may be so in
vincible as to preclude the danger of
attack for justice and fair dealing, ir-
respective of race, color or condition :;
for the right and equal enforcement of
the laws; for honesty and integrity in
financial, commercial and industrial
life for the protection of the rights of
the people and for the development
and proper conservation Of our i'm
mense national resources.
"The Senators and Republican rep
resentatiyes in Congress have faith
fully guarded the interests of Our
State and Nation, and have been iden-
titled with the important legislation
of the last decade. Their long service
and ability have reflected credit upon
New Jersey and we commend their
course to their fortunate constituents.
We endorse the progressive and
energetic administration OF Governor
Fort and the work of the Republican
Legislature. But a few months in Of
flee our Chief Executive has already
made reputation for himself and the
State of which the citizens of New
Jersey may be proud
The Republicans of New Jersey
stand for principles rather than de-
tails, and ii changing conditions re-
quire an adjustment of tariff schedules
we must emphatically insist upon the
full maintenance of the protective pol
icy, that the revenues of the Govern
ment may be preserved, American
wages maintained at the highest
standards, and American markets pre-
served for American industries. Ma
tional prosperity has gone hand in
hand with protective tariff. The W ell
fare of the people demands the con-
tinuance of this American policy.
Relying upon the discretion OF our
delegates to voice the preference Of the
Republicans of New Jersey at the next
convention, we refrain from hamper
ing their action by suggestion or by
specific instruction, indulgingsat the
same time the hope that New Jersey
may have representation on the Ma
tional ticket.n

Brush Burning Law Changed.

The amendments to the brush burn
ing law are important and sensible
AS amended the law provides that
hereafter permits are not required to
burn brush, waste, ETC., when the fire
is set in public road, garden or a
plowed field, and is more than 200 feet
away from any woodland, brush land
or field containing dry grass or other
inflammable material. In all other
cases permits must be obtained from
the fire warden at all times of the year
(not only from March 10th to May
31st, as formerly. Permits must al
ways be obtained for burning brush
close to forest land, or in field con-
tanning conbustfble matter lying next
to forest" The minimum penalty
for burning brush without a permit
has been reduced to $40. For other
violations Of the fire law the penalty is
still not less than $50. All penalties
hereafter are paid into the state treas
ury. No part goes to the informer.

The Importance of the work OF the
Sunday School is being emphasized
this spring, in number of the coun-
ties Of this State, by the holding of
exercises in the Sunday Schools, in
which the main features OF modern
Sunday School work are set forth and
the various movements for improve
ment are explained. The second or
third Sunday of May is being used for
this purpose in some counties. The
exercises are furnished by the New
Jersey Sunday School Associations
office at Newark. The near approach
of the great international Sunday
School Convention at louisville, KY,
June 1928, makes this observance of
"N New Jersey Sunday School Day"
both timely and helpful, as many are
anxious to learn more Of the scope Of
the united Sunday School work.
