FOUND! "A NEW KIND OF CI7ZZEN---ON
THAT REMEMBERS ELECTION PROMISES
BY w. G. SHEPHERD.

Special CofrespO0donc0 TO Tne FfeBS
PERTH AMBOY, N. j., Dec. g.
What do you think Of American
citizens who believe that election
promises ought to be fulfilled?
Such citizens are to be found in
New Jersey, on the shores of the
Raritan.
There are about 600 soldiers
watching them.
Father John Gross of the Hun
garian Catholic church at Perth
Amboy leads the new movement.
This is how it started:
At the Valentine Fireproofing
works, after election, few of the
Magyar and Polish workmen, who
were getting 80 cents a day, re
membered they had been told that
If Taft were elected their wages
would be raised. All of them who
could vote had voted for Taft.
They started strike Their en-
ployers gave them $1.30 day and
that ended the strike. But their
action started the memory works
of the workmen in one, two and
then three of the nearby terra
Gotta works, which have all recent
ly joined the International Fire
proofing Co., trust.
About 500 of the 5000 strikers
Of tof Crncc'
church. H. M. Keasbey, vice presi-
dent of the trust, called on him for
aid. Father Gross. talked to his
men.
They told us that if we would
vote for Taft our wages would be
raised after he wa selected" said
the men.
Father Gross had been through
the Pullman and the team drivers
strikes in Chicago.
In every factory in New Jersey
men were told to vote for Taft.
There's plenty of prosperity right
now" said the priest to Keasbey.
these promises must be full
filed"
That night some of the "Remem-
berers" started to wreck the plant
of the Standard Fireproofing Co.
The next day six companies of the
Second regiment, National Guard
of New Jersey, under Colonel E. A.
DUNCAN, left their desks, benches
and daily toll, and gathered at
Perth Amboy, with guns.
That night some of the 'Remem-
berers" marched too near the
plant. Several strikers were
wounded
The third day Keasbey began to
agree with Father Gross. He Of
fered to raise the wages of the
men from 1917 cents to IA cents
an hour. The men wanted more.
A member of the New Jersey
Legislature came to the front-Dr.
W. E. Ramsey, assemblyman from
Middlesex.
'All over New Jersey, where the
trusts rule he declared, work
men were promised that if they
voted for Taft their wages would
be increased. American citizens
too often forget election promises,
but these men have been reminded
of them by their wives and chill
dren. There's plenty of prosperity.
It's dividends the trusts are think
ing of. 1t would be good thing if
all American citizens remembered
election promises like this"
If my superintendent gave the
men any promises, 1t isn't my
fault said Keasbey.
Then fire your superintend-
ents," said the Hungarian priest.
IF | make a promise for my bishop
that he doesn't like, l will be dis
missed"
And here at Perth Amboy they
are gathered, citizen soldiers, bear
ing arms against citizens, all be-
cause some men want election
promises carried out.

FOREST FIRES.

Destructive forest fires have been uncommony
this They have been raging every part of the state
causing immense loss in the destruction of property other
than dry grass and standing timber 1t may strange
in face Of the present stringent and federal laws for
protection of forests and the presence of of rangers
enforce the laws and guard against fires that these sweep
ing confagraons should be apparently increasing instead of
decreasing 1t should be remembered however, that have
had phenomenay longcontinued hot SPELL following an
unusually dry winter During exceptionally hot summers
would be something Of the ordinary brush fires
not more frequent than under other circumstances Their
occurrence does necessarily imply necency on the part
of officials charged with the oversight of such matters And
such fires are not always attributable the carelessness of
campers or hunters Nature herself and does play
the role of ncendiary under certain conditions Still there
can be question that of them brought about by
human agency with careessness leading factor. When
ev do occur however, officials aud private citizens should
work together tremendously under intelligent head for
their extinqushmen When the fire fend abroad in his
frv it is 10 time agge redape rules issued from
WASHINGTON. Hard common is infinitely better
reliance than volume of general rules issued thousands Of
miles from the danger lines. In Calaveras county much
friction is reported to have occurred between the forest service
officials and local frehghters. The latter wanted to back
fire in accordance with methods which long experience had
taught them to be effective The officers, the other
hand wanted to adhere strictly the formulated rule that
back should be started greater distance than
sixty feet from the fire line If such rule does exist it is
about absurd anything that could be imagined and
men would necessarily have expose themselves fearful
risks in attempting comply with it. An official in COM
nand of frehghting should have full discretionary
powers and be hampered by anything in the shape of
redtapeism

Ancient Fashion Jareon.

The language of the fashion plate
and the woman's paper Is sufficiently
appalling to the mere man even in
these days of emancipated and. we
may presume, more grammatical wom-
anhood; but. according to an extract
from a fashion journal of 1887, the jar
gon of those days was even more as
founding. This is how the paper de-
scribed the dress of certain Mile. d.
at the opera:
"She appeared in a dress of 'stiflcd
sighs.' ornamented with 'supertluous
regrets the bodice cut in a perfect
candor' point and trimmed with in
discreet complaints Her hair was
dressed in sustained sentiments with
Il headdress of sustained conquest
ornamented with several 'fyaways'
and 'downcast eye ribbons, and her
collar was 'beggar on horseback color"
No doubt all these marvellous terms
conveyed some meaning to the fash
ionable woman of the days when
French society danced on the edge OF
the volcano of 1889, but to their de
scendants of today they have abso-
lutely no meaning.
