well leavened with Rooseyetism, and the beginning of an attack

bigger rift in the party than the tariff has done.

This is not enough. Democracy may

Of the century-the restriction of ignor-

in the courtroom. So long as there Is
a body Of the people ignorant. that
ignorance will breed a greed that will
be duped by demagogy. and always the
greed equipped by cunning will outuft
greed equipped by ignorance. The
problems this this nation has solved
have been for the most part simple
problems. They We're problems in the

the abolition of slavery concerned the
distribution of wealth. 1t was simple
subtraction, but TO deal justly with

A JERSEY CITY


of the United States outside of North Jersey the city has appeared
as a mere "jumpingof place" for railroad travel. The interstate
traveller on a train passing through the dingy tenement district
could see none of the farer aspects of Jersey City, and regarded it
as an unattractiye back door of the metropolis across the Hudson
occupied by railroad tracks and squaid tenements. There has
been a lack of civic pride in Jersey City, too, that has seriously
worked to her disadvantage. The Jersey City journal says the
intent of the celebration last week was to advertise the city" 1t
Is a good intent, and Jersey City needs proper advertising to make
outside folks know it is not a jumpingO off place or a back door;
that it has some exceptional natural advantages, fine residential
streets, and plenty of room for expansion, in spite of the great
area absorbed by the railroads or lost in the salt marshes.

of Being Connected With Play

craving and printing, has been dismissed
on charges of being connected with hand
book playing Of the races, in which 1t Is
said a number Of other employees are in

lowed Quesada to turn In his resignation,
and then issued a statement to the effect
that he knew of the race playing that
had been going on among the employees of
the bureau and that in the future he
would consider the sending out Of money
to be played on the races as sufficient
cause for the dismissal Of any employe
Of the bureau. He said also that he knew
it was possible to put down bets with the
handboOks within a short distance of
police headquarters, and he did not pro-
pose to let the temptation be thrown in
the way Of any of the 1000 employees Of
his institution.
Will Not Countenance Gambling.
In the course of his statement Director
Ralph said:
II have not sufficient legal evidence for
the conviction of any particular hand
book maker. but have turned over to the
detective headquarters evidence that. II
it is followed up, will put some of these
books out Of business

this matter and If could l would like to

Wages Must Not Be Wasted.
The director concluded: This is no

down to the hard fact of a man who

and l have had women that l knew and

hard luck stories about house rent being

ing when the husband was making plenty

Il do not want temptation of that sort
thrown in the way Of the men here, and
have served notice on such as needed
it that they would have to cut out gam
bling If they wanted to go on working
