Behold the Wooden Indian,
Who stands outside the door,
And guards with, frown and hatchet
The old tobacco store.
He never beats a grocery bill,
He never told a lie.
He never took a longing look
AT bourbon, fizz or rye.
Behold Wooden Indian
A mass of oak and paint:
He never made crooked move,
In faith, he is a saint.
He never bought a stack of chips,
Aud sat into a game,
He never rushed a chorus girl
Or tllrtcd with a dame.
Behold the Wooden Indian,
Who on the other hand.
Was never known to help the poor,
That fill our glorious land.
Who never heard the piteous cry
OF him who starved alone
Who never gave hungry dog
So much as one small bone.
s.sH2
Behold the Wooden Indian
(And clay is much like wood)
Who never did a bit of harm.
Nor yet a bit of good.
His family is not extinct,
In fact one often meets,
A lot of Wooden Indians
A walking on the streets.

S N s. III ER VII, BE
NEXT GOVERNOR
Declares Charles A. Swear.
ingen, a Prominent Business
Man Of Parkersburg.

CHARLESTON Feb. 10. (special)
Charles A. swearlngen, Of Park
ersburg, who is in Charleston as an
Interested spectator Of legislative pro-
ceedings and the attendant political
sidelights is one Of PaFkersburg's
most prominent business men. and
one who takes an active interest In
Republican politics, Mr.. Swear
ingen's business takes him into many
counties Of northern West Virginia,
and he has opportunities during cam
paigns to pretty accurately size up
the political situation.
On the pending gubernatorial con-
test, Mr.. swearlngen today said:
MY Judgment Is that the next
Governor of West Virginia viii be
Secretary of State swisher His can
didacy, most fayorably launched In
the beginning, has steadily grown.
1t has ridden over obstacles placed in
Its way by opponents, and arrived
now at chat size, when 1t is safe to
predict that nothing can stop It's
progress.
There is that about Mr.. swisher's
life-his battle against poverty in his
boyhood, his digging in the coal
mines Of his State, his development
as a successful and PROSPEROUS busi-
ness man; and his brilliant series of
political Victories won with chlyal-
rous dash against heavy odds, which
appeals to the imagination of most
West virginians. Swlsher and sue
cess being with the same letter-and
Romance with It's R, is next door to
s in the alphabet. Mr.. Swisher's
public life has been Economically sue
cessful.
81 think the methods that have
been used to stay the growth OF the
swisher candidacy were conceived in
blunder. Instead of weakening his
candidacy, they have served merely
to call attention to the weakness Of
the candidacy of his opponents. Some
people claim to be unable to account
for Mr.. swisher's remarkable strength
with the people. A number OF rea.
sons might be given, including his
sincere devotion to his friends, his
thoroughly democratic manner, his
splendid public record, his party 10y,
atty and energetic enthusiasm, but
these, in my Judgment, amount tc
naught compared to one factor, which
have never yet seen printed in q
newspaper. That is, there are 10000
coal miners in West Virginia. They
claim swisher,, and justly so, as one
of their own kind. Don't delude
yourself with the thought that these
miners have no sentiment and no 10y,
atty; they have both. Having man
who was once a coal miner as gov,
ernor of their State appeals to Their
sentiment and arouses their loyalty
That they know the story of Mr.
swishers struggles as boy in the
mines, l found on my travels among
them. Things of this kind travel
rapidly among the miners, who
through the officers of their organl.
cations keep we'll informed on what
directly interests them and bears on
their welfare. The 10000 miners Of
this State will do more to nominate
and elect Charles Wesley swlsher
than any other factor friendly to his
ambition"
Mr.. swearingen will remain in
Charleston the balance of this week

70 the BTENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy. Apr S:-At the
borough council meeting last night
Counsellor Pearse stated the present
status of the hole-in-thewall case
which has been pending in the courts
for some time.
Mr.. Pearse stated he had con-
versation with Vice Chancellor Stew
enson on the subject. Il told him,
he said, that there had been adverse
comment by the public generally on
the delay caused by not having his
opinion, that not only the council
had been blamed for being so slow
about 1t, but also the court had been
blamed for being so slow. He asked
me If there had yet been any decision
In the Metuchen case which, although
the facts and situation are different,
the proceedings are the same.
ITO reiterate, / might say that at
the time we argued the case the vice
chancellor said he would not decide
1t until the court of errors and ap-
peals had passed upon the constitu-
tionality Of the act which was In
volved In the Metuchen case, that a
decision was expected at the next
term of court.
THAT was last fall and that deci-
sion has not yet arrived. told him
1t had not arrived and really some
thing should be done. / thought time
was being lost and although I did
not want him to report useless
opinion, nevertheless a good deal
would be gained If he would decide
the case. He told me If the case at
Metuchen against the p. r. r. was
not decided at the June term Of
court, If would advise him of the
fact whether it was or not, he would
decide our case, at least he said he
would take the matter up"
The case of the hole-in-the-wall
was started against the Pennsylvania
railroad by the borough and Middle
sex county Jointly to force the rail-
road to remedy the nuisance as 1t
now exists. When the county joined
in the proceedings Alan H. Strong,
the attorney for the county, turned
the matter over to George s. Silzer,
as Mr.. Strong is the railroads at
Itorney.
The case in Metuchen is the action
brought by that borough against the
Pennsylvania railroad for the condi-
tion OF Main street where 1t passes
under the railroad there.

Joseph Kramer kWSkes TO Find
That Vision Was Well Found
ed Nothing Missing.
lNTRUDERs WERE SCARED OFF
Another Burglary Took Place Last
Night When Thieves Entered
Charles Harmsen's Bakery Shop at
81 Hall Avenue and Made Away
With Five Loaves Of Bread and
Two Coffee Cakes--Warrant Out.

Seldom does a man dream that
burglars are trying to enter his
house, and on awakening, find his
dream come true, but such was the
case with Joseph Kramer, proprietor
Of store at $40 State street, last
night.
Mr.. Kramer, this morning, told
the following story: Il was unable
to sleep we'll last night and shortly
after midnight l thought ! heard q
dog walking through my yard. Later
heard another noise and raised the
window, but raw nothing.
''It must have been after 8 O'Clock
when I fell asleep and then dream
ed that burglars were In the house
and l was yelling Police When
arose this morning still remember
ed my dream, but did not say any
thing about 1t to my family. Later
I had occasion to go to the room in
the rear of my store where I keep
some goods, and to my surprise
saw a number of boxes lying on the
floor gave the matter little thought
as I believed that a rat had probably
knocked over the pile.
"a little later, while In the rear
yard. / saw that the little window at
the back of the storeroom was partly
open and a box and several planks
were lying near the building. / also
found piece of iron which was prob
ably used to pry open the window. /
realized that my dream had been
true and an attempt had been made
to rob my store. Just what time the
thieves were at work do not know,
but In all probability, when opened
the window, they were below and
were frightened away. Nothing was
missing"
Detective Huff made an investiga-
tion this morning and he has the
piece OF iron used by the burglars.
Another Burglary.
A gang Of six youths entered the
bakery of Charles Harmsen, at 81
Hall avenue, shortly after midnight
and stole five loaves of bread and two
coffee cakes. Soren Nicholson, OF
109 Barclay street, who is a partner
of the baker, saw the men and sworc
out warrant for their arrest before
