There are probably but small per

Hssy,o ever think about the condition of
the people of the Philippines. They
are just.forgotten in the daily exac-
tions of our modern civilization. But
as we bought the Philippines and are
continuing to be responsible for their
welfare, we should know bow they are
faring under our"beneficient assimila-
tion-n
AS Secretary Taft, the Republican
candidate for President, has been the
virtual dictator of the policy OF the
United States towards the Philippines,
the conditions there may take on Po-
Iitical significance
In recent issue, the Inter-Island
News published at Zomboa nga, p. L.,
said:
nTaft's sympathies are altogether
with the great and powerful, and, in
: his estimation, the rights are para
mount 10 the rights of man. He is a
natural born autocrat, and, with a
hungry mob Of place hunters back of
MIN would set about creating strong
centralized government which would be
the stepping stone to the abrogation of
the most cherished rights of the AM
eriean people. In our estimation, his
government of the Philippine Islands
proves this beyond all dispute, since it
was continuous assaultup the rights
Of the people through arrogant con-
troll of the judiciary, abolishing trial
by jury, appealing from verdicts Of not
guilty, increasing punishment on APP
I. peal, denying American citizens the
! right to keep arms. and the enactment
of severe libel and sedition laws Let
his record of despotism in these Is
lands be warning t, the American
people TO trust Taft in no position
where he can demolish the structure of
their government.
Whether this pen picture of Taft and
mis- doings is true, or exaggerated, there
must be enough truth in it to cast
grave doubts about his fitness for
President of the United States.

.srhe reason why men who nina
their own business succeed IS because
they have SO little competition"
This practical and challenging pro-
position has been catching our eye ana
challenging our attention, as 1t hangs
upon the wall in the office of a certain
professional man.
1t is silent witness to a great truth
which has been widely recognized
but very poorly practiced and seiooA
self-applied.
Constantly has it r minded US OF me
need of concentration, constantly mas
il EXPORTED to the imperative need O
knowing ones calling, and, knowing
il, to do it; to do ones own work, ana
let your neighbours alone. Consistently
has it been chanting the refrain CT
recently popular air: "If it don't con-
Germ you, why, let it alone; which
song ought to become national gan
them.
Winding ones own business is an
high calling indeed; calling to the
high attitudes of isolation; to fine
field for noble spirits who do. not fear
loneliness, but " no dare win success
by being peculiar.
There was a time when even wise
men tried to do little of everything,
their own business and that of others,
too, the hero of the community was
then the "Jack Of all Trades;0 but his
day is past, his sun has set, and his
glory has departed; for the world IN
this age of reason and common-sense,
an age of specialist and specialization,
demands that man find and attend
to his own business; that IA all do one
thing and do it well. The hero toda y
is not the meddler, but the medalist,
one who has made good and won out
by minding his own business, who,
knowing aud doing that nightly an d
well, has arrived then the world sits
up and takes notice that he is on the
job.

Here we find some com pensAtion for

other peoples business.
But, seriously, these are only the
ones who go around making noise

This does not necessarily mean in

coUN TAX BOARDS.

In its report to the Governor of the
work for the past two years, the Nor
ris County Tax Board says it has dis
covered that property in the country
districts has been assessed Gin most
instances double ia proportion to the
towns and boroughs Of the county, and
that some of the latter were entirely
out of preparation to each other, the
smaller properties usually having the
higher rate of assessment"
There was "very great discrimina-
tion between the individual taxpayers
in the several municipalities, and the
smaller the property the higher the
valuation proportionately. We also
found that in some municipalities
practically no personal property was
assessed and that little. regard was
paid to figuring rates and totals"
The same conditions existed all over
the State, and it was to correct them
that the county tax boards were
created. In Monmouth county the
seaside resorts were receiving the
benefit of the discrimination. Five
years ago Atlantic City doubled its
valuations in a single year-before the
Avis law was passed. There is still
plenty of work for the county tax
boards to do, and they should not be
abolished until it has been as nearly
performed as is possible. Trenton

New Book by Rev. A. M. Sherman.
Andrew M. Sherman is engaged at
present upon a book intended primar-
lily for boys of twelve years and up
ward, but which is suitable for those
of mature age. 1t is entitled The
Story of Ny Boyhood and its Adven-
lures" by Ralph P. Bixby. The story
is woven about the boyhood life of
Bixby as supposed to be recorded by
him when a boy of twelve to fifteen.
The writer speaks in the preface of a
visit to aged friends in the Bay State,
who permitted him to select from the
antique furniture in the garnet of the
house, which was built not later than
1850, two pieces for his own use. In
his inspection of the interesting
things in the attic he comes upon an
old account book tucked away under
the caves. Carefully opening the vol
ume, yellow with age and exposure,
he finds upon the first page the in
scription which forms the title of the
book. He sat down and began to read
and finding the volume of great inter-
est, spends hours in it's persual. After
much persuasion he secured the con-
sent of the writer, an old boyhood
friend to edit the work and publish it,,

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

A STORY was sent out by the Taft
Campaign Bureau at Washington Fri
day morning to the effect that the
solid delegation from New Jersey will
be for the Secretary of War and that
the Taft men, headed by Governor
Fort and Senator Colby were prepar-
ing to annihilate the Republican or
ganization in New Jersey. While this
may be the view of the Taft managers
the indications here point an entirely
different way. 1t can be put down as
certain that the New Jersey delega-
tion to the Republican convention
will not be instructed for any Presi-
Dental candidate. The party leaders
are all for Governor Fort for Vice
President but they are opposed to ty-
ing up at this time to any Presidential
candidates and they will insist that
no instructions be given at the State
convention. just who will be the
four delegates -at-large is still unset
tied. United States Senators Briggs
and Kean are practically assured OF
two of the places, and there seems to
be no question but that State Asses
sor David Baird, of Camden, will also
be delegate-at-large. The fourth
man will rest with Essex county. Gov
ernor Fort has declared that he wants
to go, while it is known that former
Governor Murphy is equally anxious
to go. The indications now are that
there will be lively contest between
Governor Fort and Ex-Governor Muir
ply for control Of the Essex county
delegates to the State convention.
Whichever carries Essex will be given
the support of the other counties.
Former Governor Griggs, of Passaic
county, is also an active candidate for
delegate-at-large, but it is not likely
that he will get very far in the inter-
esting scrap that is now on in the Re
publican ranks.
