Good News From the Youths
COMPANION.

We have had to make The Youths
Companion larger TO get in all the good
things that Companion readers ought to
have. The added amount would make
four hundred pages of standard magazine
size and print; but we have kept the price
just the same-$I.7s for the ffty-two
weeks of 1911, and all the issues for the
rest of this year free from the time you
send in your subscription
We would like to tell you what is in
store for Companion readers next year.
We cannot do it here, though; there is
not room. But send us your address on a
postal card, and we will send you the
beautiful Prospectus of The Companion fer
1911, announcing many new features, to-
gether with sample copies of the paper.
We think you will agree, when you
have read them, that there is no other
paper that gives quite so much of such a
high quality as The Companion.
The new subscriber receives a gift of
the Companiod's Art Calendar for roII,
reproducing in thirteen colors and gold a
beautiful water-color garden scene.

What might have been a serious acct

Of our village on Saturday afternoon
while driving to Kinkora TO meet friend.
The horse she was driving refused to cross
the trolley track near that place, but in
stead made sharp turn which upset the
carriage, and the occupants were obliged
to step cut without assistance and regard

said that as soon as the young lady re.
gained her equilibrium her first request
was for a whisk broom to brush the dust
off her clothes. This characteristic ACT
readily discloses the identity of the fail
lady, and further comment Is unnecessary.

THERE is one point that should be kept
before the people In the present campaign
and that is the fact that back of Woodrow
Wilson, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, Is the same old gang that was
repudiated several years ago. There was
the coal combine scandal, the racetrack
outrages, the attempt to steal a senate,
the thefts at the state house, number of
occurrences which caused the people to
arise and turn out the fellows who were
responsible for the acts which were heap
ing disgrace upon the fair name of our
state. Time has wrought changes since
then. for 1t was several years ago that the
Republicans succeeded the gang that cared
nothing for the reputation of New Jersey
New voters have come into politics since
then. New voters will 60 to the polls
this year and cast their first ballot. It is
well that they be made acquainted with
the conditions that exist before they were
given the privilege of the ballot. The
same old gang that was back of all the
deviltry that caused the people to take
matters In their hands. still lives and is
back Of Woodrow Wilson. whose election
they are clamoriug for to the utmost of
their power. Does any one believe that
all this effort Is disinterested and that the
old gang think for moment that If VIII
son Is elected they will be ignoredi As a
Democratic politician once said ELECT
your Sheriff first; we'll attend to the rest. +"
30. practically, the old gang Is working
to elect their Governor. They will attend
to the rest afterward.

Lewis to the Front.

Vivian N. Lewis, the Republican can
didate for Governor, is now bringing his
ideas Of how the affairs of the state should
be managed clearly and forcibly to the
front.
In the talks he gave to the people In
Gloucester county last Thursday, he
robbed his opponent of good deal of his
thunder when he declared that 1t is his be-
lief that labor unions are not only bene-
fetal to the workingman, but beneficial to
the country. He argued that they elevate
the dignity of the country, and insisted
that they have as much right to unionize
as capital has to combine under the cor
poration laws.
MFR. Lewis also declared for pure bal
lot. Said he: I'VE want ballot that will
give the citizens square deal at the polls.
wish for the day when not penny will
be spent at the polls on election day.
believe In parties and leadership of an in
telligent character, but do not believe In
parties being dominated by bosses. The
day of the political boss is over"
Mr.. Lewis attitude towards corporations
is made clear in the following declaration:
II am opposed to the formation of any
corporation that might in any way be en-
abled to swindle the people. Let there be
law enacted that will make 1t a criminal
offense for corporations chartered in this
state to conspire in restraint of trade. Let
there be no fine possible. Only jail for
the guilty."
Mr.. Lewis is warming up to his work,
and letting loose some of that energy and
sincerity for which he became conspicuous
when he was member of the house of
assembly and leader of that body.
He did not hesitate to say on his
Gloucester tour that there is room for i'm
provement OF the policies of the Republi-
can party, and admitted the necessity for
what is now called progressive Republi-
canism. He realizes, too, that there are
greater reasons for change In the policies
of the Democratic party, but the leaders
of that organization don't realize this fact,
and are content to work for the advance
ment of their own interests rather than for
the interests Of the people.
Republication" said Mr.. Lewis, 'fs,
in fact, becoming more progressive. but
Democracy is the same old party whose
policies brought the country to a state of
panic the last time, and every time the
Democrats have controlled"
For the first time, Mr.. Lewis referred to
the fact that the Democratic party In this
campaign Is heavily financed. and that the
money is being contributed by the great
corporations.-State Gazette.
