Former Governor Werts Dead

George I. Werts, the last Democrat
to be elected Governor of New Jersey,
died in Jersey City last Monday, aged
63 years.
From 1856 to 1892 he was Senator
from Morris county. He resigned in
1892, when Gov. Albeit appointed him
to be a Supreme Court Justice. He
also soon resigned that position to accept
The nomination of Governor. In the
contest he defeated John Keen, Jr., by
a plurality of 1925 in 1862. fI1L
Governor Fort nominated him in 1908
as one of the commission of three 70
revise the public statutes, but because
of ill health he resigned after serving u
year.
During his two terms as Senator he
was a leader and a master mind in snap
ing legislation. He dlafted the secret
ballot law, under which our elections
are now held, and it has been SO Salts
factory that it has not been materially
changed i'll over twenty years. He also
drafted the Werts license law i'll 1889,
and it has been proved so satisfactory
us a license law that there has been no
material change since. 1t provides that
if a holder of a license ''shalI sell liquors
on Sunday, OF to any person known in
the neighborhOod to be OF confirmed in
Incorporate habits, OF who is visibly
under the influence of Intoxicating liq-
uors, his license shall thereby become
forfeited and void" On second con-
viction the person shall be disqualified
from receiving a license in this State.

Girls In a Foreign Atmosphere.

A German American author, Frau
Won Ende. whose book was published
in Berlin the other day, undertakes tc
explain wig so many American girls
are captivated by the nobility Of the
continent. She says that very many of
these girls never get an American edu-
cation. They are often taught by Ger
man or French governesses and reared
in surroundings which are intended to
initiate those Of cultivated Europeans.
Even cheap limitations of foreign fur
niture and paintings may affect a girls
ideals Of the things desirable in life.
American girls are expatriated "be-
fore they make their first trip to Eu-
rope" says this author, and the men
they meet in American society have
nothing In common with their vitiated
tastes. What everyday life fails to do
in creating a foreign atmosphere fer
the idle mind is supplied in the for
eign novel with its heroic nobleman,
as impossible as he is romantic. An
attractive young woman cannot be long
abroad without meeting the Prince
Charlie Of her dreams, and after that
American simplicity has no chance.

While the price of some farm crops
have increased greatly, others have not.
The increased demand for tomatoes
was so great for eight years that the
market price exceeded the contract
price to growers. Last year the grow
ers caught up with the demand n
down went the price below the cost OF
production. Likewise with sweet pota-
toes which are low. Lessening the de
mand for anything and increasing the
supply is one way of decreasing prices,
but when there is general rise in prices
after an increase in the dollar crop it
necessarily follows that the intrinsic
value of money is decreasing, because
the intrinsic value of wheat, corn
meats and vegetables as food products
to give life and strength never increase
nor decrease. Thinking OF this lesson
in political economics may teach some
how to better understand the money
question which will he an issue, like the
tariff, as long a organized governments
exist.

The latest large Dreadnoughts cost
nearly twice as much to build as the
former class. so it is retrenchment in
name only for the navy department to
ask for but one new n this year.
However, the new are twice as pow
erful as the old, and the addition Of
but one a year is equal to the addition
Of two before.

MEAT FROM ABROAD.

New Zealand Mutton to Undsrseli
Homo Mutton-Would Be Cheaper
but For Duty.
We have begun to import frozen
mutton from New Zealand. This is
startling statement to make, but 1t
Is true. Meat Is so dear in America
that our importers now find that they
can bring mutton all the way from
New Zealand via London, pay the
American duty of a cent and half
pound upon it, undersell the meat trust
here and still make a profit. The At
lantic transport liner Minnewaska
brought from London few days ago
S91 frozen mutton carcasses, and other
steamers are reported to be bringing
more.
The way has therefore been opened,
and it may prove to be permanent.
England has been importing mutton
from New Zealand for many years
because her home grown mutton is too
scarce and too dear for her working
population. New Zealand mutton sells
in England for 20 cents a pound, but
it enters the country free Of duty. 1t
is good and wholesome and has been
described as "such meat as Americans
have not had the pleasure of feasting
upon"
OF course the duty of a cent and
half pound ought to come off at
once. The foreign mutton could then
be sold that much cheaper. AS long
as the duty lasts it is an encourage
mcnt for the home meat spectators to
keep prices up. We are seriously to
blame as nation Of consumers in
allowing our system Of trade to be-
come corrupted by monopoly. We have
let the trusts put rope around our
necks. We must loosen that rope by
removing the tariff, and we should
never rest until we get a satisfactory
answer to the question why great
country like America with bOundless
agricultural resources should have to
import food from an insignificant little
country at the other end Of the globe.
