Why does Great Britain buy
Its oatmeal OF us?

Certainly 1t seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason Is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people. the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade. o.
How we'll he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re-
ports on Quaker Oats. This brand is
without a rival; is packed in regular
packages, and in Theoretically sealed
tins for hot climates. 81

HEAD OE R,NAI BIRTH.

In this land OF opportunity, where
the Jew has had a fair chance, un-
hindered by hampering laws or Bit
ter feeling, the international indie
pendent Order of B'Nai Birth
Sons of the Covenant"-has grown
to great size and has proven of value
In the swift advance of the Jewish
people. Five years ago Adolf Kraus,
of Chicago, became its head, and is
about to begin another term of five
years in office.
The story of Adolf Kraus, says
Hampton's Magazine for September,
is the story of hundreds and thou
sands of Jewish immigrants who
have made this the land of their
adoption. F~orty-lve years ago he
came to America, q boy of fifteen.
He had little money, and nothing be-
fore him but the necessity of earn
ing a living and the chance to make
good in a country whose language
and whose Institutions were strange
to him. At twenty-sfx he had mas
tered the language and the prepara-
ton necessary for the practice of
law, had passed the state bar exam
ination, and entered into the legal
profession in Chicago.
Since then, his life has been one
of steady progress. In law he has
achieved fame and wealth, he has
ben a force in politics, he has held
the offices of corporation counsel,
president of the Chicago Board of
Education, and president of the Civil
Service Commission.

CLAWS
CAMPER ON
STATEN ISLAND

New Dorp, 8. l., Aug. 20:-Swooping
down upon him while he was gathering
driftwood on the shore below South
Beach, S. l., a big black eagle severely
clawed Henry Merritt, of st. Paul's
avenue, New Brighton, yesterday morn
The huge bird was not driven away I'M
til twenty-five campers ran to the as
sistance of Mr.. Merritt with sticks Of
wood.
Merritt, a railroad clerk, is one Of a
number of young men who are camping
a half mile below South Beach. While
on the beach he heard the tapping Of
wings and felt a Tightening grasp on
his right shoulder.
AS he struck backward with one hand
he caught a glimpse Of the eagles
wings. Frightened out Of his wits he
let out a loud scream. The eagle's tai
u sank into the skin while Merritt
was fighting desperately to make it let
go its hold. He struck the bird several
times with a piece of wood, but it only
held the tighter and brought blood from
both Of his hands with its beak.
Other campers frightened the eagle
and it flew TO a telegraph pole. None
had a tireaarm and it sat there for some
time before soaring away to the South.
Merritt s wounds were cauteriZed by a
physician.
Among those who helped brighten the
eagle away were John Clark and Henry
Sendt, both of Tompkinsville.

THINKS MAYOR
SHOULD HAVE
MORE POWER

Trenton, Aug. 20:-Peter Backes,
who drafted the Bishops law, and
who was counsel and chief inquisitor
of the Excise Commission hat two
years ago conducted an exhaustive
investigation into excise affairs in
all parts of the state, discussing the
~declination of Mayor Mravlag, of
Elizabeth, to accept another term of
office on the ground that 1t is i'm
possible to enforce the Bishops law,
said:
Since the enacting of the So
called Bishops law" it has become
the practice to lay the entire fault of
the failure to enforce the excise laws
to the short comings of this law. Es-
pecially Is this true of the prohibit
ton of sale on Sunday of intoxicants,
and hence this law comes In for it's
share of abuses from public officials
and others on the one side who wish
to see all laws properly enforced,
and on the other side from persons
who feel that their business or So
called personal liberty is being In
terfered with by this law.
1T may be well to remember that
aside from the law our Crimes Act
has always prohibited the offer, ex-
posture or sale Of liquors on Sunday,
n made the offense a misdemea-
nor, punishable by a fine not exceed
ing $1,000, Or by imprisonment for
a term not exceeding three years, or
both.
The Werts Law, passed In 1889,
as well as the Bishops law, passed
in 1906, prohibits the sale of liquors
on Sunday by a license holder and
subjects him to a penalty of for
fixture of his license for this viola
ton.
Mayor Mravlag's declaration that
this bishops law is impractical and
cannot be enforced Is an admission
that the criminal law of this state
is being ignored and cannot be en-
forced in Elizabeth. The fault lies
rather with the enforcement of the
law by the properly constituted arms
of the municipality, namely, the po-
lice department and the excise
board; these departments, knowing
well that they are not amenable to
the executive head, the mayor, for
their failure to enforce the law, sim
ply wink at violations.
"In this respect our present sys-
TEN Of municipal government Is rad
ically wrong. We elect an honorable
man mayor, simply give him an emp
ty title with no power to compel a
compliance with laws, yet, on the
other hand the public at large hold
him personally responsible for VIC
lations of theSlaw. and all he can do
is to use moral suasion. He pos
sesses absolutely no power as mayor
to enforce a compliance with the
law.
"If I may be permitted to suggest
a reemdy, / would give every execu-
tive head of the municipalities in
this state the power to remove a sub
ordinate for cause. / would also
give a like power to the governor of
this state. 1t will only be by the
enacting of such a law as the one
suggested that the evil of which
Mayor Mravlag complains, and of
which other chief executives have
complained, will be remedied."

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, Aug. 20:-RepublIcan
leaders in New Jersey are almost a
unit now In interpreting the action
OF the Essex county republican COM
mittee in endorsing Banking and IN
surance Commissioner Vivian M
Lewis to lean that the Passatc
county aspirant will surely be the
republican gubernatorial nominee. II
Is calculated that he will be nomt-
mated on the first ballot with a big
margin TO spare. With 973 dele
gates sitting in the convention, it
VIII require the votes of 484 Of them
TO make the nomination. Friends of
Mr.. Lewis say that as the situation
Is row lining up he will have at
least 700 delegates ready to vote for
MIN when they enter the conven-
ton.
Barring ~exegencies that may bring
out unexpected "favorite sons at
the last moment, 1t Is figured about
the, State House that a~spirants other
than Mr.. Lewis who will have their
names presented to the convention
will be William P. Martin, of Essex,
who will probably receive between
100 and 125 votes on first ballot;
Senator Edmund Wakelee, who will
receive Bergen county's so delegates
as a complimentary vote; Senator
Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, with IS
from his home county of Somerset
and possibly a few more from the
upper end of Union and a handful
from South Jersey, and Pierre P.

more than so out of the 173 votes in

egates representing the South Jer-
sey counties, to the Passaic man.
commissioner Lewis will be NOM
mated for governor by the republi-
cans beyond any question of doubt"
said a close friend Of Mr.. Lewis to-
day. This result Is in prospect
without his having made a single
promise to reward any man with an
office or to use his influence In other
ways for the advantage of certain
politicians, especially with reference
to- the fight over the United States
senatorship."
Commissioner Lewis's friend init
mated that within a short time he
would Issue a statement declaring
himself on important questions OF
state-craft concerning New Jersey,
This statement, it is intimated, will
commit Mr.. Lewis to progressive

CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL -
OBJECTION
BY WILLIAM n. BAWDsN.

PRIDE.
Preixed to Poor Richards Alma
nae of 1857 is a discourse by Benja-
min Franklin, a paragraph from
which runs as follows:
Poor Dick further advises, and
says:
Fond pride of dress is, sure, a very
curse;
Ere Fancy you consult, consult your
purse.
And again, Pride is as loud a beggar
as Want, and a great deal more
saucy. When you have bought one
fine thing, you must buy ten more,
that your appearance may be all of
a piece; but Poor Dick says, TITS
easier to suppress the first desire
than to satisfy all that follow 1t.
And 1t Is as truly folly for the poor
to ape the rich as for the frog to
swell In order to equal the OK.
Great estates may venture more,
But little beasts should keep near
shore.
It's, however, a folly soon punished;
for, Pride that dimes on vanity sups
on contempt, as Poor Richard says
And in another place. Pride break
tasted with Plenty, dined with Pow
erty, and supped with 1nfamy."
1t would appear, upon a little con-
sideration, that these words are as
valid for 1910 as for 1857. At any
rate, they find their illustration now,
as then A greater than Franklin
said long before his time:
Pride goeth before destruction,
And a naughty spirit before q fall"
False pride tempts a mar to lie and
steal, and both men and women to
sell their virtue and honor. Truly
it is said, Otis easier to suppress
the first desire, than to satisfy all
that follow it."
A mere school boy, still In the
grades, of honest parentage, al
though IN moderate. circumstances
desires to have what the parents of
his playmates are able to purchase
for them. A note Is taken home, as
If from the teacher, but written and
signed by himself, setting forth that
certain school articles have been
broken by the boy and must be paid
for, under pain of expulsion. With
out investigation the money is sent
by the boy, who spends 1t in accord
ance with his desires. Having es-
capped detection, the deception is
again practiced, until It is discover
ed. The boy lies to his teacher, lies
to his parent, is guilty of forgery
and of securing money under false
pretenses, and all to crafty pride.
ALI this did not happen more
than a thousand miles away, and is
adduced simply because It is 80 ex-
cellent an illustration Of the path
one treads when urged on by pride.
If you take counsel OF pride. your
path may differ In detail, but 1t can
lead only to the same end. Better
learn the lesson before It is too late.
One nay be pardoned for n Of
Tense, but such mistakes should
never be repeated. One may make
a fool of himself in many different
ways, but should y do it the
same way twice.
