LINCOLN once said, ''YOu can
fool all of the people some of the
time; and some of the peoble
all of the time; but you can't
fool all Of the people all of the
time" And the truth of that
statement is made evident in the
recent election and primaries in
the different states.
Editor Murphy, in the Mime
apolis Tribune says: "The first
election under Taft's admins
tration, and the primaries in
several states make it plain to
him who runs what has been
seen for long by political insight
and experience. The Republi
can party, in the fervent melting
potofnew moral issues, is passing
through a new birth like that
which first brought it into being
out of the compost heap of Wing
dissolution in the fierce heat of
conflict between slavery and
freedom
1t is written in the richest Of
American blood that no question
is ever settled until it is settled
right. The great question of
Rum Rule is still before the
people of Wisconsin. 1t is not
settled simply because Capt.
VIM. M. Louis was not nominal
ed in the recent primaries.
The issue is a live one because it
touches the highest interests of
all our people.
There is nothing so vitality
near the American as the Ameri-
can home, and whatever effects
the home, effects the life of the
republic. 1t is, then. a true ak
ium that in a government like
ours, the political life of the
nation will rise no higher than
the morals of the home will let
it. Hence, whatever effects the
moral life of the home. strikes at
the vital part of our body polite.
Drunkenness is a curse. not only
to the home, but to the nation.
1t weakens the intellect, dis
qualities the judgment, destroys
the will, and fills the almshouses,
prisons, and asylums. 1t is
used as valuable asset by the
INSCRIPTIONS politician, and,
since it makes criminals who
must be prosecuted at the ex-
pense Of the taxpayer, paupers
who must be supported by the
taxpayer, and interferes with
the inst purpose of the ballot, it
is not right to deny the people,
who must support the entire
system of drink, the right to say
by the ballot, whether or not
they want the saloon.
Under the present system,
the cities, towns, and incorpor
ate villages vote to retain the
the saloon at the expense of the
entire county, while those living
outside the interpretations. who
are usually the heaviest taxpyers
cannot vote on the question. is
IT RIGHT?

We are wondering now, what
the Legislature of Wisconsin will
do when it meets in joint session
this winter to elect a U. S. sena-
tor to take the place Of Robt. M
LaFalette. The people, by an
over whelming majority have said.
at the primaries, that they want
Mr.. LaF'ollette to go back to
Washington. They have express
ed their confidence in his ability
integrity, and their approval of
his political ideals. They
believe he is right that he
has their good at heart;- and
that he will not sell himself or
or his constituents to any bidder
no matter who bids, nor how
high the price.
1t seems to US that. after such
a decisive expression by the
people of his state, no man will
have the audicity to do other
than vote for him.
We are hoping, trusting, be-
lieving, and praying, too, that
the time will soon come
when the senators will be
elected by the people. Who can
show US any good reason why
they should not?

REPUBLICAN, MAJORITY

Bridgeton, Oct. 24:-David Baird,
the republican leader of South Jer-
sey and a candidate for the United
| States senate to succeed John Kean,
was In Bridgeton Saturday. Mr..
| Baird, who came here in his auto
mobile, accompanied by State Comp
troller Henry J.. West, met a number
of men prominent in republican poll
tics, including ex-senator Minch and
Postmaster Morris Davis.
One of the objects of Mr.. Baird's
visit was to endeavor to restore har-
mony in this county, in which the
Stokes and anti-Stokes republican
factions are far apart. There is no
Disgusting the fact that Assembly
man Isaac T. Nichols, the republican
candidate for state senator, as well
as his managers, are very much ex-
ercised concerning the election. The
democratic assemblyman is excep-
tionally strong and the reports from
| Millville are to the effect that he will
carry that republican stronghold
with a plurality of not less than 500.
1t is thought that Nichols will carry
| Vineland by a small plurality, but
this is likely to be offset by a large
vote for Durham in Lands township.
Another republican stronghold that
Is likely to give a majority for Dun
ham Is Commercial township, the
oyster section.
There is much dissatisfaction with
the arrangements In Cumberland for
the Lewis demonstration here Tues
day. The county committee, which
is controlled by the Nichols faction,
will bring Lewis into Bridgeton, the
county seat, in the morning, and
after he has visited the factories will
take him to. Millville, where he will
spend the afternoon, and the only
speech he will make will be in Vine
land. This is the smallest of the
municipalities in the county and the
most inaccessible, and 1t is openly
declared that the arrangement is
made for the benefit of the Vineland
borough ticket.
Again, the program is to have
Congressman Gardner and Assembly
man Nichols accompany the guberna-
torial candidate, and they will speak
in Vineland, while former Governor
Stokes, who carried the county by
$500 majority as the candidate for
United States senator, Is being en-
tirely ignored and will not be asked
to make an address.
The County Republican Committee
Is complaining that 1T is impossible
to secure any considerable amount of
contributions to the campaign fund.
The majority of the county officials
are openly opposing Nichols and
some other parts of the ticket, and
they declare that they cannot con-
tribute for the success Of candidates
they cannot vote for.
In the meantime the democrats
have taken advantage of their oppor-
tunity and have effected an organiza-
ton that embraces the entire county
and harmony prevails throughout.
Leading democrats declare that they
are certain to win the senatorship,
and that Cumberland county will
give Mayor George Hampton, the
democratic candidate for congress, a
large majority.

STEEL SUBURBAN
COACHES FOR p. R. R.

The first lot of all steel suburban
coaches built for the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Company have Just been re-
ceived. These cars have been sent
to New York, where they will be
used in the suburban service out of
the Pennsylvania station.
The new all steel suburban coach
es are fifty-four feet long, seating
e~ighty-two people. Through special
designs which have beenaused, the
weight of the car has been materially
lessened as compared with the wood
en- coaches, the latter carrying 1910
pounds Of dead weight for each pas
senger, while the new steel suburban
coach carries only 1918 pounds of
dead weight per passenger.
The suburban coaches have -vesti-
bule ends and are made entirely fire.
proof. Heavy steel girders running
from end to end are calculated to re-
sist any shock in collision. The cars
are lighted by electricity and are
fitted with green plush cushion seats.
The Pennsylvania railroad system
will shortly have available for use
on its lines east and west of Pitts
burg and Erie 1888 solid steel pas-
senger equipment cars. This includes
some 600 Pullman parlor4 and sleep
ing cars, as well as a large number
of suburban coaches such as the COM
pany's shops are Just beginning to

FOR
A SILVER CUP
Bijou Theatre Patrons to
Decide on Most Popular
Club In City.
ST. , ANIH0NYS LEAF

Exceptional interest is being. mani
tested in the silver loving cup con-
test at the Bijou theatre for the most
popular club, social or athletic, In
the city. The contest is now at it's
zenith, just q week old, with a week
to follow.
So far the st. Anthony Baseball
Club leads with 554 votes to their
credit. The votes cast up to Satur-
day night are as follows: Goodwill

publican Club,6; B. P. O. Elks, Q;
and Alpine A. c., e."
Despite the lead of the st. An

STATE COMMISSION
MAY LOSE $4,000

Trenton, Oct. 24:-Unless the
State House Commission gets busy
at once New Jersey will lose the
$4,000 that was appropriated by
the last legislature for the extension
of the park On the bank of the Del
aware river at the rear Of the State
House.
The act under which this appro-
priation was made allows 5000
for the work of extending the park,
$4,000 of which Is to be expended
during the present fiscal year, and
the remaining 100000 during the
next fiscal year. This means that
this years appropriation must be
taken advantage of before Novem-
Der 1, the beginning of the fiscal
year..
1t is understood that Governor
Forts attention has been called to
the matter and that he has urged
upon the State House Commission
the necessity of doing something at
once. The work most needed at
present is the removal of a sand bar
In the river at the rear of the State
House and the filling in of the land
that will be needed for the park.

40 STEEL CARS
FOR |. Y. R.. R.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

"FSN
New York, Oct. 24:-An order for
forty, all-steel vestibule passenger
coaches has been placed with the Pull
Railroad. They are to be delivered in
be put into service at once.
The need of the new equipment has
grown out Of the increased passenger
traffic on the Lehigh Valley. Several
new trains have been added in the last
few months, and the running time be-
tween New York and Buffalo has been
shortened, but he demands upon the
Company indicate that still further ex
tensions of the service will have to be
made.
The newaall-steel cars are of the la
test design. They are 6S feet, 4 inches
over all, and weigh about 10000 pounds
each. They have electric lights-on,
over each seat-and automatic ventila
tors. Not anywhere in the structural
parts of the cars will there be any
wood. The "trim, - the doors, the win
dow frames, even the frames of the
upholstered seats, will be metal. Thus
the ears will be absolutely freproof.
The surface floor is to be iexalith, a
plastic hreproof composition laid over
the corrugated steel floor plates. This
composition, when polished, will have
the general appearance of marble. The
seat legs will be bolted to castings i'm
bedded in this material and rivited to
the steel plates underneath. This tends
to. make the seats virtually a part of
the steel structure, and gives a solidity
conducive to the safety and comfort
of passengers.
In addition to the forty coaches, the
Lehigh4 Valley has ordered from the
Pullman Company two combination bag
gage-library buffet cars, each IS feet
long and containing chairs for 23 pas
sengers. These have all the appoint
ments of the most modern car Of that
type and, like the coaches, are steel
throughout.
In the future the Lehigh Valley Rail.
road will follow the policy Of having
all its new passenger cars of freproof
construction.
