Some Question, Asked Thi, Last Week

What is your opinion of the cause
of Roosevelt's success?
His absolute honesty-living one
day at time. And everything he
does is because he thinks it is right
and not because of the effect it will
have on his tomorrow. He never
hesitates from a policy standpoint.
Do you mean what you say about
the possibilities of Newark?
We do, and then some.
Is the POST backed by any man or
institution?
No.
Do you expect to continue?
We do.
Are you going to continue yellow
journalism?

What is your line OF policy to be-

Why don't you advertise patent
medcinesa
Because it is questionable adyertis-
ing We have two of the best drug
stores in the State. The proprietors
are reliable and can and will give the
advice on these medicines needed.
Do you travel on the Blue Blood
express or gravel train?
Government forbids passes. News
paper men pay their way or walk.
What do you think OF the increase
| of the public school teachers?
No teacher ever got one half Of what
| she earned or deserved.
| Are you in favor of sewer?
| We are, and if you are mot, it is
time to change your mind.
| Where can we beautify the towr
without much expense?
| The church lawns could be mad,
spots of beauty. They should be the
best kept in town.
The lawn at the pumping station il
not in keeping with it's surroundings
That is public property. We woul;
suggest that the Councilmen acquaint

but look at the difference it woult

COOPERATION A SOLVENT

For some reason or other the co-opera-
tive system in trade has not fiourished
in this country. In England. on the
contrary. it has proved a great success.
probably because the population is more
compact and more homogeneous than it
is with Us. Yet there be no doubt
that the co operative plan when
efficiently conducted is n of the most
effective ways of preventing an arti-
fetal rise in prices, for the simple
reason that it does away almost entirely
with the middleman and his profits.
From the official report we learn that
in Great Britain in 1905 there were
2,243 cooperative societies. OF this
total al3 We're wholly productive" in
their operation, SS7 wholly 'distribu-
tive" and l,0s6 partly productive and
partly distributive. The assets Of these
societies amounted to more than $JS,-
600, 900, and the business transacted
reached to over $500. 600, 900. showing
a clear profit of S5l. 900, 900, a large
proportion of which went rs dividends
or bonuses into the pockets of the 2,679,-
900 members. That the societies are
large direct employers of labor is seen
in the fact that $45, 900, 900 were paid
out for wages.
As is we'll known the great majority
of the members of these societies con
sists of working people, and the pc
cuniary advantages they reap from
being ]co-operators and buying their
food and other articles from their own
stores is very great and solves to a very
large extent the problem of high prices.
In all probability if the cooperative
system were firmly established in this
country it would lower the price of
commodities rs well meant but
spasmodic efforts canno do. Or, better
still. it might prevent those combina
tions which determine prices to suit

FOURTEEN MISTAKES OF LIFE

Judge Rentoul of London, England,
is a philosopher much admired in that
metropolis. Speaking at n banquet re-
Gently, he gained much applause by de.
scribing the following as the fourteen
important mistakes people make i'm this
life:
To attempt to set up our own stand
ard Of right and wrong and expect ev-
erybudy to conform to it.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To try to measure the enjoyment of
others BY our own.
To look for judgement and experience
in youth.
To endeavor to mould all dispositions
alike.
Not TO yield in unimportant trifes.
To look for perfection in our own ac-
tions.
To worry ourselves and others about
things that n be remedied.
Not to alleviate all we can all that
needs alienation.
Not to make allowances for weakness
es of others.
To consider anything impossible that
we cannot ourselves perform
To believe only what our finite minds
~ grasp.
To live as If the moment, the time. the
day, were so important that they would
live forever.
To estimate people by some outside
quality, for it is that within that makes
the man.
In the purse Of his speech the Judge
told a number of amusing anecdotes.
One was of the clergyman who told the
bride-to.bc it was very serious to get
married. Yes, was the answer, but
1t Is more serious not g." got married."
Among the aphorisms employed by
the judge were:
"|Stubborness over trinos block the
business of life, though it does more for
the lawyer than all other phases of hu.
man life"

prettier than q bulldogs nose. but we
find that the bulldogs nose is about five

Many of the residents Of Austin were

The deceased moved from Austin

hood as a cobbler. He studied law
while on the shoe makers bench. and
how thoroughly he mastered his lessons
is shown by the fight he won later on.
During his twenty years or more OF
active practice in the law i'll Austin he
was connected with all the big litigation
of the time. Among the q notable
of these legal battles may be mentioned
the Manhattan line suits. the Reese

IMAGINATIVE BRAINS

To q person acquainted with mining
camps and mining camp methods, 1t
seems q pity that some means have not
been devised to prevent the circulation
of the magnificent monumental lies
which are almost invariably circulated
when a new district is discovered. The
newest boom camp, JarbidRe, is appar-
emily destined to suffer more than its
share from the effects of the picturesque
stories %emanating from imaginative
brains of this class of romancers. From
that camp have com tales of wealth
exposed, on the surface, ready to be
taken, compared with which Dumas
Count of Monte Cristo would seem n
cheap tale. A few ciphers added to the
estimate of one of these do
not seem to make u particle of differ.
ence. The remarkable thing in this
connection is hat there seem to be
people who believe them. These, are
the unsophisticated mortals who read
fambuoyant advertisements, wait
patiently till they find a particularly
wild statement made by some magma
tive fake promoter, some fine sounding
promise of impossible profits, and then
rush frantically in to hand over their
savings. When it finally dawns upon
them that their money is gone from
their gaze, never to return, then is the
time that the big lament is heard.
They curse the mines, the mining
business, mining men, mining machin-
cry, and all the dips, spurs, angles and
appurtenances thereunto belonging.
This is the thing, more than any other,
which has prevented and is still delay
ing the development of the wonderful
of the country, for when IL
of these unsophisticated spectators is
bitten, his wall is so loud, so steady and
so persistent, that no can be heard for
miles around.
One would suppose, with the country
filed as it is with newspapers, with the
mails guarded with the never sleeping
agents, with the legislatures passing
laws to discourage them, that the bust
ness Of telling fairy tales about mining
camps would become Improbable.
There appears, however, to be a never
decreasing supply of people ready to
believe u yarn, if it is well told, and
the more improbable the story, the
more people there are waiting with
mouths wide open, ready to swallow
the bait, hook and ar.-Wonder News.
