Halloween Is Merrily
Celebrated.
Streets Filled With Mummers.
Many Grotesque Costumes.

Halloween was celebrated this year
on large scale, and the costumes
made even the grouchy ones smile.
Very nearly every funny character
was represented, the sidewalks and
doorways being filled with merry
crowd watching the procession.
Tramps. devils, cops, prizefghters,
Chinese, letter carriers, fat and lean,
all marched side by side. Tresses
that had been introduced to peroxide
flew across the shoulders of many a
maiden. But her face was covered
with mask, and she didn't care what
anybody said. The man who wore
an old overcoat will probably have it
pressed today for his Sunday best and
a couple of hobble skirts will be sewed
together for Aunt Maria's street dress.
Every old garment lying around the
house was pressed into service. The
older some of them were the better
the public liked them.
Halloween was also celebrated by
many in holding house parties. where
various kinds of games were played
Strawrides were also in order, and
the participants arrived home at day
light this morning.

phia, and authorized the Secretary of
War to make additional contracts to
the amount of 100000.
Congressman Wood secured an ap-
preparation of s125,0O0 for an addition
to the Trenton Post Office. Al
though New jerseys quota had been
reached owing to the large appropria-
tion for the Jersey City post office,
through his persistency the Trenton
appropriation was finally obtained.
He secured an appropriation of $780,
600 for the Princeton Battle Mouu-
ment, which the citizens of Prince
ton had been endeavorlng, without
success, to obtain for twenty years.
1t had become the recognized policy
of the government to make appropria-
tions for monuments of patriotic
character to be located only at the
Capital.
He has kept in close touch with all
parts of his District by making peri
odlcal visits to the principal towns in
each county, thus affording his con-
stituents an easy opportunity of con-
sulting him on Congressional mat
| ters.
Congressman Wood voted for the
Hepburn railroad rate law, the pure
/ food law, the meat inspection law, the
consular reorganization law, and all
the other measures advocated by Pres
| ident RooseveltFwhich made his ad-
ministrauion such a brilliant record of
achievement. He also voted for and
supported all the Taft bills which
were so heartily approved by Theo-
dore Roosevelt in his Saratoga
speech, including the amendments to
the Interstate Commerce law, the
safety appliance law, the law relating
to the publicity of campaign expenses
the conservation law providing for
the separation of the surface from the
coal and mineral deposits, the law foi
the establishment of Postal Savings

ment over every common carrier and
over every corporation engaged in in
terstate commerce. A great tribunal
has been created in the court of COM
merce in which any shipper, however
humble may make his complaint and
secure quick and effective relief. In
that court the United States govern
ment itself becomes his attorney, and
prosecutes his proceeding, if it is a
just one.
Great reclamation projects have
been undertaken in the West and
Southwest. Hundreds of millions of
dollars have been expended to irrl-
gate arid lands, to curb water ways
and to make homes in the desert %and
wilderness. It has been wisely pro-
vided that ihe benefciaries of these
expenditures shall bear the burden
and repay the loans to the United
States government; but government
initiative under Republican legisla-
tion has babe millions OF, arid western
acres to blossom like the rose.
A great program of conservation of
national resources has been mapped
out and entered upon with the result
that valuable water sites, great miner
al deposits and enormous acreage of
timber lands in the public lands of the
West have been reserved for public
use instead of private exploitation.
In fourteen years more money has
been spent upon river and harbor i'm
provements than was ever spent in
twice the same period. Right at our
gates the great work of canalizing the
Ohio river is going on. The total ex-
penditure on this work alone will be
over $40, 900, 900, and its completion
within the next few years is absolute
| ly assured.
In fourteen years more money has
been spent on public buildings, for
the use of national governments in
| various cities and towns of the coun-
! try than was ever before spent in
| twice>that period. The money has
| helped to adorn West Virginia cities
and towns, it has prepared adequate
and dignitied homes for public SER
1 wants. It has employed labor, and
/ has everywhere made the power and
! the authority of the United States
| government visible in monuments of
brick and stone.
A system of Postal Savings Banks
| has been authorized, and is now be-
ing established. A system that will
insure to timid depositors absolute Sc
curity for their savings that will af-
ford banking facilities for remote COM
munities that does not have them
now, and create reservoirs of liquid
funds to be drawn on in time of panic.
These are some of the things credit
ed Ito Republican administration.
They are splendid record of effective
legislation. The m ere roll call makes
list of the most advanced and most
progressive reforms that this or any
other country has ever enjoyed during
] like period of time.
On such record there can be only
one verdict.

CONGRESSMAN WOODS
MAGNIFICENT RECORD

Congressman Ira w. Wood has al
ways been very much interested in
the extension of rural free delivery
service. During his service in Con-
gress about fifty additional routes
have been established, practically
covering his whole District. He is
also very much in favor of the estab-
lishment of Parcels Post.
He has secured the passage of a
great many priva tie pension bills for
exceptional cases, and expedited the
adjudication of hundreds of other
cases in the Pension Bureau.
When the meat inspection law was
passed the shipments of many farm
ers all through the Delaware Valley
were;held up at the freight stations
owing to the lack of information as to
the provisions of the law. As soon
as Congressman Wood learned of the
situation, he took the first train to
Washington and called upon the Hon.
James Wilson, Secretary of Agricul-
ture. AT Mr.. Woods request, the
Secretary said that he would send a
special inspector up to Trenton the
next day to explain and adjust mat
ters. Congressman Wood secured an
automobile, and in company with the
inspector visited every freight station
through the Delaware Valley, and on
the Lehigh Valley and Central Rail-
road of New Jersey as far as Pitts
town and Pennington. The inspector
made out blank certificates for the
shippers, and gave instructions to the
freight agents. The congested con-
dition of the meat shipments, which
was occasioning great concern to the
farmers, was at once relieved.
In every river and harbor bill that
has been passed during Congress
man Woods term of service, there
has been inserted and passed either
an authorization for a survey or an ap
preparation for the improvement o
the Delaware River between Trenton
and Philadelphia. 0.000 was appro
prlated for the removal of Perriwi!
Bar, and the river and harbor bill Q

of $100, 00U for the improvement of th

What have fourteen years of Repub-
licanism done for the American peo-
Pile?
It is we'll to take stock of Republi-
can administration, credit it with it's
achievements and debit it with its
failures. ''By their fruits We shall
know them," and the Republican par
ty is willing to be tested and tried by
what it has done.
In 1897, the Republican party found
the American people in condition of
business and industrial depression.
The passage of wise protective tariff
law by Republican Congress and a
Republican President, set the wheels
of industry moving, started the fires
in the furnaces, drew the idle work
men to the mills and placed the Amer
ican people on safe and certain path
leading to prosperity, the like of
which the world had never seen be-
fore.
In 1896 Republican policy and Re-
publican leadership were all that
stood between this country and flood
of cheap money, depreciating the ma
tional currency and reducing us as a
financial nation to the same basis as
Mexico. China and Japan. The hon.
est dollar, worth the same in New
York, in Chicago, in San Francisco,
in London, in Paris, in Constantine
pie was assured to the American peo-
Pile by the Republican leadership for
all time.
In fourteen years the manufacturing
plants and manufacturing products OF
the American people have increased
over rs per cent.
In fourteen years wages in every
branch of industry have increased
and hours of labor have been shorten
ed. Today the carpenter, the brick
layer, the plumber, the printer, the
railroad brakeman, the railroad con-
ductor, and practically every other
kind of workingmen among our 80
100000 of people get higher wages and
enjoy shorter hours. than the same
class of men did in 1896
In fourteen years the Republican
party has created great American
navy, and sent $100. 900 fee
girdling the oceans and flying the
American flag in thousands of strange
ports.
II fourteen years it has created an
effective army, safeguarding oul
island possessions and coasts and
forming a nucleus for home defense.
Two great and victorious wars have
been fought. The territorial posses.
sions of the United States have. been
enlarged and her position among the
first rank of nations assured.
In fourteen years the rural free de-
livery service has been extended until
today there is scarcely a hamlet so
remote or farm house so distant that
is not in almost daily touch with the
centers of trade and commerce.
In fourteen years system of rail-
road rate legislation has been con-
structed, which absolutely completes
the authority of the national govern
