BRYAN HIMSELF AGAIN.

Same Old Way.

breaches Economic Adsurdities In
Same Old Way.
Mr.. Bryan, who started out very con-
servatively at the opening Of the cam
paign, resolving evidently to get the
confidence of certain editors and bust
ness men who could not stand his
aforetime radicalism, has broken
through the traces and given up trying
to be good. His speech on the trusts
at indianapolis puts him back In his
old position of advocating the destruc-
ton of anything that does not meet
his views without regard to method or
consequences.
AS usual, he Is not specific as to
what means should be employed to
carrys out his designs. He simply In
general way wants to destroy the so
called trusts both large and small, re-
gardless of the consequences to others
engaged in similar business or OF the
consuming public. He tells us one day
that the American people should be Oh
lowed to purchase where they can buy
the cheapest, and another day he tells
us that the money from the pockets OF
the people is flowing into the Golfers OF
the trusts. If the latter be true 1t must
be because the people are buying
where they buy the cheapest, and If
the trust made goods are the cheapest
then they serve the consumer rather
than injure him.
Mr. Bryan simply does not know
what q trust is. Mr.. Bryan does not
know how to handle financial prob
lens. Industrial problems or even po-
litical problems. We have on our stat
ute books today laws providing for the
machinery to punish any illegitimate
business and to remedy any inequali-
ties or injustice Mr.. Bryan has not pur
forth any views showing how to I'M
prove present methods.

BRYAN AT TREASURY HELM.
How Would Business Men Regard
Secretary Chosen by Him?

How Would Business Men Regard
Secretary Chosen by Him?
How would the financial community
like to face a panic under Bryan
secretary of the treasury This ques-
ton goes to the heart Of the degree Of
confidence which could be placed in q
Bryan administration. Even If we had
a new Bryan, sobered by the response
bflity of his Office. would business men
feel the assurance of prompt, energetic
and intelligent action to protect the
public faith and save the money mar
ket from disturbance which would be
looked for under a secretary of the
treasury named by Mr. Taft? Business
men are likely to ponder this seriously
between now and November.
1t Is not necessary to assume that
Mr.. Bryan still favors opening the
minis to the free coinage Of silver to
raise q grave doubt as to his attitude
on all questions affecting the mainte-
nance of the financial fabric of the
country. Up to the convention Of 1907
he would not even agree to an express
sion of opinion that the silver question
had been sidetracked by the great out
put Of gold, and his present associa-
tons and surroundings are such that
II Is doubtful If he could make any sin
cere declaration which would go far to
establish confidence In his financial
sanity.-Boston Transcript.

Indian BurIaIs.

The Indian method of burial was to
fasten corpse upon cross sticks sup
ported by poles in the ground or In the
boughs of the treetops Here the air
and the elements silently disposed of
the lifeless clay until in year or so
but little remained to bear evidence of
a tomb, perhaps some broken sticks
In the top and few scattered beads
or human bones beneath the burial
place. l cannot conceive of anything
more pitifully grewsome than an In
dian burial ground of this type.
have seen them In the fall Of the
year, when the winds were shaking
and swaying the platforms and wiring
ing the leafess trees, Haunting the
burial rags like signals OF distress from
the dead and whistling through and
over the whitening bones and neglect
ed remains of those who had many
time withstood the tempest and storm
when the breath of life stirred within
and Navy Life.

AS LONG as ''war record" seems to be a
point In the Congressional campaign, it
may be of interest to men who were In the
civil war to know how Congressman
Gardner stands In regard to the old
soldiers. He was one himself, and saw
four years of active service. He went in
a private and came out as sergeant, and
at all times his weapon was musket.
He was volunteer and was mustered out
.'by reason of expiration of service" He
was 81 years of age when his time expired
and he carries seven wounds received In
battles. He has never received pension.
The regiment in which Mr.. Gardner served
had the record of being In over 90 import
ant battles, among them being the Battle
of Williamsburg, Bottom Bridge, Fair
Oaks, two engagements, Seven Pines,
seven days battles including Glendale and
Malvern Hill, Bristow Station, Second
Bull Run, Fredericksburg, two engage
ments, and Charlottesville. The Second
N j Brigade of which Mr.. Gardner's
Regiment was part, went into service
1000 strong and at Charlottesville there
were only 200 of the original members to
answer the roll call In this battle Mr..
Gardner received his most severe wound,
and one which has been torment to his
life ever since.

THE majority of the Republican voters
of Burlington spoke In favor of returning
the present members of Assembly to
Trenton next winter, and those who con.
tested for the Office are willing to accept
the verdict. The voters should do the
same. There was no Misunderstanding
no Misrepresentation. Messrs. Lewis and
Trick plainly stated their views on the
question of local option. They did not
gain votes through trickery and, having
been given the nomination on an issue
fairly joined, the people should see that
they are reelected.

THE SPEECH.
In conclusion General Grub said that
although he was a great admirer of
Roosevelt, he wished to put this logical
statement before his friends: President
Roosevelt, with Taft as a secretary in
his cabinet, could not curb the power of
the trusts. Roosevelt by his hard crack
at the heads caused the greatest panic
In history of the United States How
can Mr.. Taft, with the same experience
and same knowledge, do more than the
PRESIDENT Gentlemen, here Is a man
from the people. a man believe Is hon
est as any man that ever lived. His
persistency has been made a mockery,
but gloat In his pluck when he can
arise from defeat, smiling and strong as
ever. Such men like these are never
defeated. Had he not some good ideas
he could not again be touring the
country speaking to multitudes. 1t is
unreasonable to call him unsound. The
American people would not stand and
listen to the same man for twelve years
without considering him insane If his
theories were not excellent and could
not he practicable. say, why not vote
for Mr.. Bryan He can do no harm to
the country, and the probabilities are
that he can do great amount of good. "

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
Many Important Measures Enacted by
the Majority.

the Majority.
The Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth con-
crosses will go down in history as rec
ord breakers because of the large num-
Der of important measures enacted,
measures having directly to do with
the great business interests of the
country and standing between the peo-
pie and corporate greed and oppres-
sion. The Fifty-ninth congress opened
a new era in American legislation, CIV
ing emphasis to the fact that the con-
stitution is amply sufficient for all the
needs of the people. safeguarding their
interests and furnishing them ample
means of protection. The Fifty ninth
congress was Republican congress,
and all the great measures enacted by
1t were Republican measures, original
ing with the Republicans and passed
by Republican votes.
There is still much to be done to per-
feet the work begun by the Fifty-ninth
congress. Experience has demonstrate
ed that a Democratic congress cannot
be depended upon to work out any
great system of reform. No reform
in administration or in legislation has
ever come about under Democratic
regime. AS at present constituted the
Democratic party is made up Of too
many isms to be safe In handling
great questions of political economy.
Two great questions will soon come up
for legislation-a revision Of the tariff
and a remodeling of our currency sys-
tenn. Twice since 1880 the Democrats
have attempted tariff legislation. and
twice the business Of the country was
brought to the verge Of ruin and hum
dreds of thousands Of workingmen
were thrown out of employment.
Twice within the last thirty years the
Democratic party has set up its stand
ard of monetary legislation First 1t
declared In favor of putting the print
ing presses to work in manufacturing
greenbacks without limit and, second,
by declaring for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16
to 1. No evidence has been furnished
that the party has recanted from its
stand for fat money. Is 1t safe to
trust the party now?

AT RECENT meeting of Democrats in
the Second Congressional District of this
state, one of the speakers attacked Con.
gresham Gardner on his record on labor
question. Mr.. Gompers, president of the
labor federation, has always been one of
Congressman GARDENERS best friends and
in a speech at Washington praised the
latter highly.

AT THE last meeting of Merchantville
Borough Council an ordinance passed first
reading providing for the increase of the
assessors salary from 5000 to $500 per year.
The assessor last elected had to be coaxed
to take the position at the salary paid, and
1t is feared If the amount is not increased
a competent man cannot be retained In the
office. This is the case in many places,
The salary paid these officials is not at all
In accord with the work they do or their
portance of their labors. In some town
ships In this county the assessors get the
munificent salary of $75 per year and are
compelled to pay all extra expenses from
1t. Take the township of Washington as
a sample. The law requires the assessor
to attend the meeting of the County Board
of Taxation In May and as much oftener
as asked to. This means absence of at
least two days from home and he must
bear the expenses of the trip. The last
Legislature passed an act providing that
assessors In townships having population
of over 1900 shall be paid not less than
three hundred dollars per year. This
affects but one or two townships in this
county as the townships and cities having
larger population have been paying salar-
les above that sum. There are several
municipalities with less number of In
hsbitants where the assessors have to do
more work In proportion than the same
officials in the largely populated towns but
they are not paid in accordance with the
labor they must perform. Pay a compe-
tent man good salary to act as assessor,
give him a sum that will compensate him
for giving his time and attention to the
work exclusively and there will not be so
much complaint on the part of those who
feel aggrieved at their assessments.
