Citizens Ticket Goes Down With Gap
tain and Most Of Crew.

Monday afternoon, May 4, at the
former residence of Mrs. NJ. b. Grum-
hine - East Main street, surprise
nartv was rendered the candidates on
The citizens ticket. AS to the sur
nrise' pare of the entertainment, the
flair was a complete success, not one
of the gentlemen concerned having
the slightest idea that he was to meet
with the reception accorded him. The
CHESTS began to arrive at II m. and
from that time until there was a
steady stream, each person being well
coined by the reception committee. The
time was spent in lurid conversation,
throwing the hook, knocking, and other
diversions of a pugnacious character.
In response to numerous calls, one or
the "surprisees" recited the following:
| had a little boomlet once
Which was my joy and pride,
I watered it and rendered it,
But soon it 'paled and died.
Another. who had been surprised"
before. responded with these beautiful
lines from Tennyson entitled Hard
Luck"

Smeared with butter good and
wide,
But when it fell upon the floor
1t always struck on the buttered
side.
At a late hour all who could de-
parted for their homes after wishing
the "citizens" many more surprises OF
q similar character. What the "citi-
zens" said we leave to the imagination.
Among the 667 guests present were
the following:

Tells why there is nothing so
good as Diapepsin to cure
Indigestion and sour
dis0rdered Stomach.

The question as 10 how long you are
goin to continue sufferer of lndiges-
ton and Stomach trouble is merely
matter of how soon you begin taking
Diapepsin.
If your stomach Is lacking In diges-
tive power, why not help the stomach
to do its work, not with drastic drugs,
but reinforcement of digestive
agents, such as are naturally at work
in the stomach
Scientific analysis shows that diges-
ton of food requires Pepsin, Nitro
genous ferments and the secretion Of
hydrochloric acid
When your food fails TO digest II is
proof positive that some OF these
agents are woefully lacking in your
digestive apparatus.
Eat 22-gratn triangule Of Diapepsin
which is harmless and tastes like can
dy, contains pure Aseptic Pepsin, Dia-
stase, Papain, Calcium Carbonate,
Tasteless Cascara, Ginger and other
natural elements necessary to diges-
ton, and when placed at work in a
weak stomach and small intestines
supply just what these organs are call
ing for. These Triangules of Diapep-
sin promptly stimulate the Gastric
glands, increasing the digestive juices

FRANK 3. HOWE. Editor and Publisher
Whose Judgment Was Best.

We have all along suspected that
Washington is the poorest place In
the country TO form forecast on the
political situation. The perspective.
there Is not the true one and the poll.
tlcians there are too far from their
constituents But OF all the poor
Washington forecasts John Harris
seems able TO guess the farthest
wrong. Here is what Harris wrote to
the Burlington Free Press no longer
ago than last Monday:
"As shining example Of political
mendacity of the most virulent and
insistent kind | have in mind a Taft
daily paper In the north end of Yer
mont, which in respect to the presl-
Dental campaign, habitually states
what is not So AS an illustration, IL
yet insists that "a majority of the dele
gates elected from Massachusetts are
for Taft" The official figures prove
that the Taft ticket was badly defeat
ed In every one of the congressional
districts except the sixth. The pres
ent outlook is that these two dele
gates, even II he retains them. are all
that Taft will receive out of the 80
votes OF the state. And yet. this pa
per spreads abroad the story, utterly
baseless, that Taft has carried
Massachusetts," This is only a fair
sample OF dozen other instances"
The st. Adams Messenger which
Harris plainly refers to IN the above
is able to take care OF itself but It IS
interesting TO note how far Harris
statement is proved by results-in
other words just how good a prophet
he is. The Massachusetts Republican
state convention held Friday passed
resolutions of which the following is
a paragraph;
"A resolution declaring the prefer.
ence of the convention for Mr. Taft
for president was submitted TO your
committee. Upon consideration we
have unanimously agreed It is unwise
to include resolution in favor of
any particular candidate in the plat
form. A number of the committee are
favorable TO Mr. Taft's candidacy and
we all recognize that majority OF
the delegates TO the convention desire
his nomination
Of the four delegates at large elect
ed two are pronounced advocates OF
Taft and the other two are not
unfavorable TO him and warm
supporters Of the administration. In
addition two district conventions have
been held in Massachusetts so far
and both of them passed resolutions
endorsing Taft. This does not IN
clude the sixth where the primaries
were on the straight Taft and anti
Taft issue and Taft won more than
Ito /.
] Harris refers to the several Yer
mont papers supporting Taft in sucl
endearing terms as example of viru
lent political mendacity" some epilep
tic sheet" another hebdomedal curl
osity" and some crossroads Bingville
Bugle". We are unable to identify

less our readers can. but after all tina
has come TO light we would rather b

Local Option Hearing.
HITCH OVER CIVIL SERVICE
BILL SEEMS PROBABLE
So Many Conflicting Views That
Legislature May Adjourn With
out Any Action at All.

TRENTON, March 1.-The eighth
week of the New Jersey Legislature,
to be opened tonight, promises to be
the busiest and most important of any
i'm the term. 1t should be the opening
of the final month of the session, for
normal legislatures lever remain more
thar twelve weeks at the capital.
Whether this Legislature will prove
normal is a question.
Following the local option hearing
this afternoon it Is expected that much
business will be transacted tonight.
The Senate is now considerably ahead
of the House.
The Senate has passed the Alderman
civil service bill. the commissioner OF
state reports bill and other reform
measures urged by the Governor, and
they will go to the House this evening.
The civil service measure, however,
has shoals ahead The Alderman
scheme viii cost the State $4,000 a yeaI
for a commission and this will meet
with opposition in the House.
Assemblyman Ginnelly, of Mercer
County, will introduce a civil service
bill tomorrow night, providing for civi
service without any expense to the
State. This is in keeping with the
Leavitt bill now pending in the Senate
In view OF the conflicting opinions II
may be that no civil service enactment
will result this year.

result of the partial suspension of ferry
traffic the under-river trains from
Brooklyn and Hoboken were packed to
the limit of standing room.
On the sound the fog was reported
to be as thick as in the upper bay and
shipping of all kinds was delayed. The
steamer Plymouth, of the Fall River
line, due here this morning, was obliged
to anchor at Wldtestone, L. l., whence
the captain informed the New York
office of the delay.
The ferryboat New York. of the Full

TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE
IN TIL MARCH SCRIBNER'S.

The March number Of Scribner's
Magazine opens with a paper OF adj
venture by Arthur Ruhl. who crossed
the Andes in winter, from the Chilean
side OF the Argentine foothills, about
100 miles. The Andes here rise to an
appalling height, and Mr.. Ruhl was as
sured that to make the trip in winter
was one of extreme hazard. He took
the journey lightly. and before his gay
spirit the hazards dwindled to ordinary
hardships with amusing Incidents by
the way. all Of which he tells in a
graphic manner
Charles M. Pepper in his third arti
Gle, THE Transformation of Transpor-
tation," takes the reader to the oppo-
site side of the world and shows how
modern invention is making over the
Orient; the motor-car is used by Brit
ish engineers in Soudan. although it
has not yet supplanted the camel
caravan; even the Ottoman Empire has
railroad projects. His description of
the great road planned to Mecca (the
only road in the world whose inspira-
tion is ~religious) is most picturesque.
Another romantic project is the Bag
dad railroad. The whole article is
filled with signs of the awakening of
the Far East to modern invention.
Madame Waddington describes va
rious amusing Ceremonies and Fes-
rivals" in the neighborhood of her cha
teau. BY way of contrast the simple
life OF the French Canadian habitant
is described by the artist. Birge IIar-
rison. who has lived among them.
