Excauate English PompeH

TSARLY next year it is planned to begin systematic excavation AND explora-
r. ton of the English Pompen. This is thu site of veruamiun, the first
- Roman city built in Britain, which fourished for four centuries.
The site is about a mile from st. Adams Cathedral and the area to be 4
plored is about $50 acres 50 far, as has ben learned, the plan Of the city was
similar o that of Pompei A$&M E+N## @e
There are probably few sites in Great Britain which have such a wealth Of

But in spite OF this spoiaton it is believed that the site may. when the

PRESIDENT TAFT'S
IMPLICATION TRIP

have brought the great sections closer together. President Taft
carried a message from the East to the West and from the East and
West to the South which will be deeply impressed. Much of the
zdiHculty in legislation at Washington arises not, as too generally
believed, from lobby Influences, but from sectional misunderstand-
ings and jealousies due to a lack of proper knowledge of each other.
It was in the East that the proposition for national irrigation of
the arid regions of the West was opposed. 1t is in the West that
the proposition for a subsidized maritime is opposed. National
waterways have had the greatest opposition in the East and South.
1T is Middle West sentiment that opposes the governments naval
program. The conservation of the nations natural resources is
antagonized in certain sections. And yet all of these things are
Of national scope, and no section can be benefited or injured
without benefit or harm to others. President Taft, representing
the nation at large, and only national interests, has talked and
labored to reconcile these sectional differences, and his mission,
now nearly ended, may have the most important results at the
ceminR session Of Congress

and convicted is pretty sure of a severe sentence. Frank T..
Magowen, of Trenton, robbed the mails. He had enjoyed a good
reputation, which won for him the intercession of influential men
in the State, but his past record and his friends opportunities
availed him nothing. The fact could not be rubbed out that he
had deliberately robbed the mails, and on Saturday he was sen.
fenced to fifteen months in the Federal prison at Leavenworth.
This policy of the Federal government is safe, as we'll as just.
The property in the mails belongs to the people, who have en-.
trusted it to the are of the government. The one danger it is ex.
posed to is the robbery by the governments servants. The govern.
ment does not assume the responsibility of the common carrier.
1T does not repay losses in the mails, so it should be doubly and
trebly vigilant to see that the mails are not robbed. and I'M means
to that end is exemplary punishment of every postal thief when
caught.

FIRST SHOT IN TIL
SENATORIAL FIGHT


the official head of the Republican party organization in New
Jersey. lies in those passages that relate to Governor Fort, and
the interest excited will be Statewide. The statement charges
inconsistency, insincerhy and duplicity. The Governor is an Or
pheus with his Tyre, who alures with his sweet music and prom
Uses. Mr.. Murphy has a literary style that is all his own. His
invective is always veEyety, but none the less direct and pene
trating. And why should the former Governor, now that the
primaries and elections are over and the legislative session two
months removed, dip his pen in gall and pen these scathing words
about the Governor he helped to nominate and elect? The answer
is to be found in the United States senatorship, for which there
are several avowed and unavowed champions in the field. Mr..
Murphy forces the fighting, which has heretofore been under cover.
He comes out in the open with an attack in a quarter where one
prospective candidate may be intrenching himself and gathering
forces. 1t is always a long fight for the United States senator.

tacks and counterattacks, strategic positions Will be captured
and retaken, the noise of the conflict will be heard above the clamor
of debate in the Legislature next winter, and it will be heard in
the Republican State convention that dominates a candidate for
Governor.

Seeing that the rMataews controversy

paper in the past few weeks, l would
like you to give me a little space fol
my nonsense, but to prove that all the
young men educated in the Barringer
High School are not gentlemen, and
not only bigoted, but that they are
illiterate and prejudiced against the
foundation Of all governments; also the
source from which this country got
the majority of her men to wash this
magnificent land of ours in their blood
is the Roman Catholic Church. These
young men come out and say that they
will not be dictated to-" l, as a youns
a would like to know what kind OF
a friend Of humanity he is who Will not
receive dictation from his elders. Oh,
| guess that is a student of the honor
able, we'll learned Mr.. Mathews.
These young men who participate in
the r%idiculing of the faith know nothing
about 1t, or they would know enough
to reverence a man in the station of
life of the Rev. Father .Quirk. But
these monographs know but very little
of anything or they would be polite,
no sarcastic. "A little learning" says
Shakespeare, leads a man to destruc-
ton" This may be applied to their
east as we'll as to Mr.. Mathews.
These half-learned pupils are making
an easy case of it for the Board oil
Education, for they are showing what
Mr.. Mathews is teaching them. You
would think, for their teachers sake,
they would keep still, but no. they are
coming out proving to be his phono-
graphs. They are also showing thai
they like bloodshed more and more
Are we going to have such pupils and
such a teacher in our high schools
Are we going to have such teaching
Are we going TO pay a man to lead oui
city to be a tank of blood and crime
instead of a peaceful city. and oul
citizens to be cannibais instead O.
human beings?
Young men, don't be making such
parrots of yourselves and such faitf

fearing and well-learned men, q credi,
