Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1908-07-23

The Glass Bottle Blowers National Con-
Yention, in session in Baltimore last week,
adopted the following resolution, with only
one dissenting voice; "Resolued, That we
deplore our inability to secure favorable
consideration in the Chicago platform of
the Republican party, and that we give our
unqualified endorsement to the labor planks
of the Democratic platform adopted by the
Denver Convention of that party, and rec
ommend the same to the favorable atten-
tion of ali our members
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1908-07-23

Theodore S. Burrows has been appointed
by Chairman F. B. Davis member OF the
County Board of Elections to succeed Mr..
George E. Pierson. Mr.. Pierson has been
one of the representatives Of the Republican
party on this Board since its creation, Is
years ago, and the opinion of those who
have noted his course there is that be per-
formed his duties in judicial rather than
partisan way. To be able to do this, in
that position, requires elements of fairness
not found in all of MS, yet we believe the
Gloucester County Board of Elections in
the past has applied that rather than the
partisan test in all its decisions. May it
always be so.

Pi.

This is eminently the pie season-aH the
good pie things being fresh from the bush
and dished up to hungry humanity hot off
the bat, and deyoured with keen relish
There is one kind Of pi however, that the
general public knows little about-printers
"pi.n One peculiarity of this pi is that it
is always seasonable, is quickly made. and
not readily digested. 1t produces nervous
prOstration, the blues, drives printers TO
strong drink, and demoralizes the business
Of the printing Office Printers employ all
their skill to avoid making pi. They justi-
fy the forms with great care, they examine
every quoin to see it is driven home; before
the form is lifted every column is tested,
and if the least evidence Of weakness be APP
parent, there is further justification, and
the quoin keys are given another twist.
The DEMOCRAT Office had it's first exper-
fence with pi last Thursday-it was d
fourth page pi. That page had been justil
fed and locked by our most skillful printer
II was safely passed to the elevator, lowered
to the press room, passed safely to the press,
and as il was being laid into its place on she
bed, went into pi.
We are NOT going to tell the story Of last
Thursday afternoon in the DEMOCRAT Of.
fee. If there was anything about that page
last week, reader and advertiser, give credit
10 pi.

How 10 Keep Baby,s MIX Warm.

Cover a hot water bag with one Of
outing flannel in which there has been
made a pocket about the size of the
baby's bottle. When going TO bed fill
the bottle as usual and place it in the

hot water and put it at the bottom OF
the baby's crib, covering it with q
blanket, says the Delineator. When
the baby wakes for its bottle in the
night the milk will be ready in an in
slant.

WASHING OF EYES.
How to Battle Them Properly With
L otiars

EOtiOnS,
If more persons knew that the eye
balls need bathing quite as much as
the body, no dressing stand would be
without an eye cup and lotion for this
purpose. In washing the eyes use a
special glass that may be bought at
any druggists. This cup is shaped
something like wineglass, except that
it is elongated instead of round and
has a rim that slopes down in the mid
die to fit the eyes.
To use this little vessel fill it three
quarters full of whatever lotion or
liquid is prescribed, then place it close
ly about the eye and throw back the
head In this position open and shut
the eye, so that the ball is thoroughly
bathed.
AS to the lotion for the bath. an ex-
cellent and simple wash that will
cleanse the ball and relieve a feyerish
or tired sensation is made by boiling
and filtering half a pint Of water and
pouring into it while still warm one
half teaspoonful of refined borax and
ten drops of spirits of camphor, says
the Washington Star. Let this cool,
then filter again through piece Of
thin muslin.
The cup may be partly filled with
this liquid morning and night and any
time during the day when the eyes FEEL
tired 1t should be applied as pre-
viously directed and after using for a
al %I,o x-ol
low scum so frequently seen on eye
balls and always so disfguring. Be
fore applying any lotion the eyes must
always be carefully bathed in warm
water
For eyes that are weak a tonic wash
recommended by English oculists is
made in this way: One-half of an ounce
Of rock salt and one ounce of dry sui
plate of zinc simmered in a perfectly
clean, covered porcelain vessel with
three pints of water until the ingredi-
ents are all dissolved. Strain through
thick. clean muslin, add one ounce OF
rosewater and cork tightly. Use when
the eyes feel weak. If the lotion
smarts, add a little water. The eye cur
should be kept perfectly clean.
If after simple home treatment the
eyeballs continue to show yellowish
appearance no time should be lost In
consulting a physician, for something
wrong with the system is indicated
Any Inflammation of the eyes is likely
to exhibit itself by secretion on the
lids in the morning, and this condition
should be checked before it leads into
another more serious state.
After bathing with either of the 10
tons given the edges of the lids should
be. covered at night with paste made
of two and one-half centigrams each OF
oxide of zinc and subacetate of lead
twenty-five centigrams Of oil of sweet
almonds, three grams of white vase
line and three drops of tincture Of
benzoin.
1t is well to have this compounded
by chemist, for should there be the
least lump or grain it is apt to find its
way into the eye and cause irritation
In making any lotion at home toe
much care cannot be given to filtering
and should the liquid become cloudy
after a time it must be strained again
to prevent causing irritation.

How TO Remove Mildew.

Mildew may be removed by moisten-
ing the article in lemon juice and plac-
ing in the sun. As fast as it dries re-
new the lemon. If this is not effective,
make paste of soft soap, to which
you have added one tablespoonful Of
powdered starch, the juice of a lemon
and a little salt. Spread over the spot
and place in the sunshine.

the bottle into the mules stomach
The mule gave one startled gasp and
struck out across the prairie, and was
lost to sight. The surprised farmer
stood for while immersed in deep
thought, and then he said: stranger,
please give me the rest of that turpen-
tine; I've got to catch my mule"
Friends and ex-brothers of the one
time Iroquois Club, I have always
stood just where I stand now, square
ly upon the principles of the founder
OF the Democratic party and the
Trainer of the Declaration of indie
pendence; but the Democratic Donkey
has gone galloping over the political
prairie until it is lost to the sight of
it's original adherents.
1 am not in the race to catch that
donkey, and if you are, you will find
that you have to keep plumb full of
a different kind Of turpentine in every
campaign.
And so I received your communica-
ton with qualification and gratitude,
and so withdraw from your club with
pleasure and without the slightest hard
feeling.
Good luck and God bless you, and
may you all be able to keep up with
your mule. Sincerely,
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST. ,

PROTECTION FOR DEPOsITORs.
Postal Savings Banks Offer a Salts
factory Measure of Protection.


factory Measure of Protection.
Mr.. Bryan's scheme for the protec-
ton Of depositors is to make solvent
and prudently managed banks pay the
losses Of the insolvent and imprudently
managed. 1t is plan to make every
bank go security for every other bank,
and it may well be questioned if a law
imposing such an obligation without
the consent of the person charged
would be sustained by the courts.
Mr.. Taft, discussing this subject, said
that he favored postal savings banks as
a protection for depositors rather than
the Brya ms mcfheoecmfwyp cmfwyp
the Bryan scheme of enforced liability.
The distinct advantage of the postal
savings bank proposition is that it
would provide for direct government
responsibility. The depositors would
be guaranteed against loss by the
government, because the banks would
be government institutions. There
would be no possibility of loss, and no
injustice would be inflicted upon other
banks like that to which they would
be subjected under the Bryan scheme,
if they were compelled to pay losses
incurred by banks over which they
had no control.
Postal savings banks in other coun-
tries have given great satisfaction, and
there is no question that they would
be conducted as safely and in every
other way as satisfactorily in the Unit
ed States. The government be-
ing the banker, would properly be
charged with responsibility to the de-
positors and others doing business
with it.
On the other hand, the State has no
more authority to make banker re-
sponsible for the debts of another
banker than it has to impose a like
responsibility upon a merchant for the
debts of other merchants. Surety is
matter Of voluntary contract, and the
essential element in any financial OBJ
legation is consent on the part Of the
person to be charged. To force a
banker to insure the payment Of the
debts of another banker is to impose
upon him an obligation against his
will, which would be manifestly un-
just.-Denyer Republican.

Joint Interests.

Labor needs capital to secure the best
production, while capital needs labor in
producing anything The share of each
laborer in the joint product is affected
not exactly, but in general way, by
the amount Of capital in use as COM
pared with the number Of those who
labor. The more capital in use the
more work there Is to do, and the more
work there is to do the more laborers
are needed. The greater the need for
laborers the better their pay per man.
Manifestly, it is in the direct interest
of the laborer that capital shall in
crease faster than the number of those
who work. Everything which legiti-
mately tends to increase the accumu-
lation Of wealth and its use for pro-
duction will give each laborer larger
share in the joint result Of capital and
labor.-Hon. VIM. Fl. Taft, at Cooper
Union, New York City.

and in detail has shown it's capacity to
govern. By the homestead law, with
equal generosity and wisdom, it distri-
buted the immense national domain
among the citizens who were willing
to cultivate it and who have convert
smiling homes. 1t built the Pacific
railroad, which has bound the union
together from east to west and made
the States beyond the mountains among
our most loyal and prosperous COM
monwealth. 1t redeemed our paper cur
rency and made all our forms of money
exactly of equal value, and our credit
the best in the world. By persistent
honesty in our finances-in the face of
obstacles which might have daunted
the hardest statesmen-it has reduced
our interest charges so that in any
mart on earth we can borrow money
cheaper than any other people. We
have by the patient labor of years re-
formed and regulated our civil service,
so that patronage has almost ceased
to cast its deadly blight upon the work
of our public servants.
Brilliant and Glorious Record.
It's record is but a succession of bril-
liant and successful achievements
which have raised the nation to a
world power of the first rank and which
have vouchsafed to our people the max
imum of benefits with a minimum of
cost. Some things it has accomplished
may be mentioned here:
The homestead law passed by Re-
publican Congress and signed by Abra
ham Lincoln.
The national banking laws, which
gave the people a currency stable in
all parts Of the country.
The system of internal revenue tax
alton by which approximately one-half
Of the ordinary expenses Of the gov
eminent have been raised from malt
and spirituous liquors, tobacco and
cigars.
The constitutional amendments,
which abolished slavery, created citi-
zenship of the United States, as dis
tinguished from citizenship of the sew
eral states, and established equality of
suffrage.
The Civil Rights act, which extended
to all persons the equal protection Of
the laws.
All existing laws for pensions to war
veterans.
The resumption of specie payments;
the reduction of postage; the money
order system; the establishment of the
railway mail service.
Rural and city free delivery.
The endowment of public schools,
agricultural colleges, ETC., by grants Of
land from the public domain.
The establishment of the Circuit
Court of Appeals to relieve the Su-
preme Court and no longer require
litigants to suffer delay of three or
four years in securing a decision on
appeal.
The principle of reciprocity, by
which we reduce the duties on certain
imports from countries that offer cor
responding advantages to our exports,
and thus extend our foreign market.
Statehood for Kansas, Nebraska,
Nevada, Colorado, North and South
Dakota. Washington, Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming and Oklahoma.
The Sherman antitrust act
The national bankruptcy law of
1867 and 1898, which relieved many
thousands of unfortunates and restor-
ed them to commercial or Industrial
activity.

A Persian newspaper recent ly printed a denunciation of the Shah and his government, accus- ing them of tyranny, corruption and inefficiency, and asserted that the Shah devoted himself to bestial orgies instead of doing his duty as a ruler. There was a time, not so long ago, when the editor would have lost his head for that. But the Shah is no longer an Oriental despot of the old school. He brought an action for libel, and when the editor offered to prove his charges in detail and demand the dethronement of the mon arch, the Shah withdrew the suit. The world surely is nov ing with velocity.
