New Brunswick, Jan. 10:-Theo-
dore Strong, who was turned down
by the republican county committee
at its meeting Saturday, when the
committee organized and elected an
ti-Strong men to Office, issued a state
ment this morning in which he ac-
cuses the committeeman of unfair
dealing and declares that he Is not
down and out yet
In his statement Mr.. Strong says
that until few minutes before the
meeting H. Raymond Groves was the
candidate of the Carson faction for
county chairman. When they saw
that they would be beaten five to
one, however, they withdrew.
Continuing Mr.. Strong says that
Perth Amboy may have thought that
by choosing a vice chairman of the
other faction (Carson's) that they
were healing the party differences,
but by naming Mr.. Drake they have
made sufficiently bad things vastly
worse.
II see," says Mr. Strong, chat l
am once more to be politically kill
ed. First the freeholders were to
do 1t, then Mr.. Conger and now GER
tain members of the county commit
tee nominated and elected by friends
of mine as friends of mine are to do
it. Time will tell. My opponents
are unable either to nominate
or elect anyone, but they are past
masters in the art of stealing men
after they are elected.
Naturally Mr.. Carson did not
care to have for chairman brother
of William Pfeiffer, who is a rival
candidate for the collector of the
port. Perth Amboy had already de-
clined to support Mr.. Groves before
it had caucused on Mr.. Pfeiffer."

TALKS OF PRESS
AND IT'S PEOPLE
Maj. Hemphill Lectures at Yale on
Clean Observation-Disclosures
Yellow Tendency.

New Haven, Conn.,, April 90
Maj. J. C. Hemphill, editor Of the
Richmond Times-Dispatch, made a
plea for cleaner journalism and
cleaner newspapers in an address at
Yale university tonight. He was de-
iivering the first lecture under the
Bromley foundation, provided for by
Mrs. Adelaide Bromley, in memory of
her husband, Isaac Bromley, Yale
'53. The subject Of his lecture was
"The Public and the Press"
"The press in these abundant
times," said Maj. Hemphill, "speak-
ing generally, is in the business for
the money there is in it. The most
potent force in shaping and direct
ing the thought and sentiment Of the
country, it is yet beggar at the
door Of patronage. Little or no inde-
pendence is actually possessed by the
journalists who preach independence.
1t must be- said, however, to the
credit or discredit, as you please, of
the public, that it reflects largely
the character Of the newspapers by
which it is served.
The Yellow Streak.
1.-THE yellow streak runs not less
through the press than through the
people. The shame of the press is
that it has catered to the worst ten
denotes Of a corrupt and malodorous
age. Its mission ought to be the ele-
vation Of the public; instead, it ad-
vertises its degradation; fairly shrek
ing against any restriction upon its
liberty, it converts its liberty into
license.
"Broadly speaking, the most SEN
sational and irresponsible newspapers
make the most money, and there has
been noted for years the gradual deg
radiation Of the American press to
the American level. Some Of the
cleanest and most self-respecting
newspapers are published in New
England, but even here the tendency
toward a lower conception Of jour
nalism can not have escaped the OBJ
servation Of those who are interested
in the development of our civiliza-
ton.

No Ideal in Existence.

1.-The ideal newspaper does not
exist; it is doubtful that it ever will.
The newspapers of today, like the
churches, represent this or that view
Of political questions; this or that
industry or Individual or section ;
they possess the enthusiasm Of ad-
voeates, they lack the wisdom Of the
judge.
''There is no profession so exact
ing, none requiring so extensive and
accurate knowledge Of history and
philosophy and political economy;
none calling for so great patience of
opposition; such clearness and firm
ness of judgment, such courage of
conviction, and such careful regard
for the rights of others. That is
why, in my opinion, the newspaper
should be, in fact, the judge and jury,
and not the swift wit or the paid
counsellor in the case on trial before
the people.

The Unworthy Papers.

''There is not an old man or a
young man, in this audience who has
ever known the issues involved in a
political campaign to have been fair
ly presented by the opposition press.
That newspaper is unworthy which
for personal profit or political gain
for itself or its party misrepresents
the position of professional or polit-
ical rival; that follows any particular
course because it is 'popular;' that
joins in the defamation Of any man
because there is something to be
made out Of it, either in the way of
increased circulation or adventitious
Importance.
"What both newspaper makers and
newspaper readers most need, if they
would reach the best settlement of
the question in which they are inter-
ested, is no party spirit or sectional
fervor, but broad tolerance Of opinion

BABYs SKIN TORTURE

When our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands we're a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours Of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally l got set of the Clticura
Remedies and l am pleased to say
we did not use all Of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and half to see If 1t would return
but 1t never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. l hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,
