NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Woman's Ballot Thrown Out.

Miss May Kerwin, employed in the
Bank of Montclsir as a stenographer,
was surprised to learn that the vote
she cast against the adoption of the
town improvement plan in the Sec
ond District of the Second Ward had
not been counted. She also was sur
prised to learn that she was the only
woman in Montclair who voted at the
special election. When Miss Kerwin,
who lives with her mother in No. 81
Montague place, entered the polling
place the election officers thought her
request to vote was a joke and they
smilingly permitted her to cast a bal
lot. When the vote was being count
ed in the Second Ward the officers
found Miss Kerwin's ballot, which
was identified because it was not in
closed in an envelope. She had
marked it in opposition to the town
improvement plan. When the young
woman was told that her vote against
the proposition had not been counted
she said: well, it wasn't needed,
anyhow, and I'm glad 1 had an ex-
p~erience which SO many suffragists
crave"

ILLINOIS SENATOR INDICTED.
Grand Jury at Springfield Acts in
Alleged Bribery Case.

Springfield, Ill.-An Indictment for
perjury was returned against State
Senator D. w. Holtslaw, of. Iuka, a
Democrat, by the ~Sangamon County
Grand Jury, which investigated ale
cations of bribery in the Illinois Leg
is1ature. The Indictment Is based
principally on the testimony of Sena-
tor Holtslaw that he did not know of
and had never arranged for a meet
ing between himself and J. w. Knox,
of Chicago, representing the Derby
Desk Company, of Boston, the low
est but unsuccessful bidder to supply
the House and Senate with furniture.
After his denial State Attorney
Burke produced a letter alleged to
have been written by Holtslaw to
Knox on January IS, 1910, saying:
at has been arranged that I should
see you"
Senator Holtslaw returned from a
church missionary convention in Bal
timore, which he attended as a dele
gate from Illinois. He is one of the
Democrats who voted for William
Lorimer for Senator.

leaving the organized institutions of
Christianity, said: 81 am sorry to GO
Wherever this way is paramount,
the deserts of human baseness speed
lily blossom as the rose.
We also say that this way Is a way
of solid satisfaction. There are no
dissatisfied one here. Any man who
looks and listens will discover a great
deal Of dissatisfaction in this world.
The numberless suicides, the thwart-
ed ambitions, the shattered hopes,
~reiterate the experience of one of old,
VANITY of vanities, all is vanity"
But, on the other hand, the deyout
follower of the Christ utters no wall
of complaint. He exclaims in a shout
of triumph, 1.-THE path of the just is
a shining light that shineth more and
more unto the perfect day"
Once again, let me say that this
way of our Christ is a reasonable
way. 1t is not true that we must bid
farewell to reason and violate the hu-
man intellect when we become fol-
lowers of the Christ. Ever since tie
Wise Men of old brought the gifts of
gold and frankincense and myrrh to
the feet of the infant Christ, the in
tellectual a~ristocracy of the centuries
has been bringing it's choicest produc-
tions into His service. The intellect
may be transcribed. 1t is never
transgressed. We oftentimes come to
the border land where reason ends
and faith takes the torch to its ulti-
mate goal; but never is it necessary
to violate the God-given blessing of
the human mind in order to become
a consistent follower of the Man Of
Galilee.
And now l might emphasize other
aspects of this way in that it is the
way of safety for the individual as
we'll as for organized society. If we
are standing upon the immutable
truths of the Christ, we may exclaim:
"The eternal God is our refuge and
underneath US are the everlasting
Armsi" 1t is the way of life and not
the way of death, and blessed be
God, this way of pleasure and attract
iveness and satisfaction and reason
and safety and life is accessible-not
upon the ground of any patent of hu-
mar nobility, not upon the basis of
material possession, but upon the
broad and gracious invitation of Him
who not only said: ST am the way"
but who also said: Come unto Me
all We that labor and are heavy laden
and I will give o rest"
And so we bring our questioning,
with Thomas, to the Christ and find
in Him a solution and an answer,
and we get some faint conception Of
the commanding spiritual eminence
occupied by st. Paul when he said:
For me to live is Christ"

Bits of ouotable wisdom.

Praise consists in the love of God,
in wonder at the goodness of God, in
recognition of the gifts of God, in
seeing God in all things He gives us,
aye. and even in the things that He
refuses to us; so as to see u whole
life in the light of God; and, seeing
this, to bless Him, adore Him and
glorify Him.-Manning.
When thou receivest praise, take
it indifferently, and return it to God,
the giyer of the gift, or blesser of the
action.-Jeremy Taylor.
Do not fancy, as too many do, that
thou canst praise God by singing
hymns to Him in church one a week,
and disobeying Him all the week
long. He asks of thee works as well
as words; and, more, He asks of thee
works first and words after.-Charles
Kingsley.

When the Mists Have Rolled Away.

When the Mists Have Rolled Away.
Once I was visiting a friend near
the foot of the Southern Catskills.
When I retired he told me there was
a beautiful view from my room win
dow. So in the morning I awoke
early, expecting to enjoy it. But as
I looked out l saw nothing save the
ordinary landscape of that section, of
fields, rocks and trees, and a long,
narrow strip of water they called
''the lake." over which hung a heavy
mist. During the course of the day,
however, the mist lifted and hoated
away, and then I saw what my friend
meant. There rose the beautiful
mountains, clothed in the many-hued
foliage of autumn, rising on hill.
thousands of feet above us, and
crowned with gold and purple in the
afternoon sun.
It is often SO with the Word. We
see only very ordinary things in it be-
cause the mists have not been dis
persed from our minds and hearts.
When the Spirit drives the mists
away, then will we see the grand
mountains of Gods eternal truth and
be glad in the Lord. The preacher,
the Sabbath-school teacher, all stu
dents of the Word, should pray for
the Holy Spirits presence when they
would receive the Word for their W
life or enforce it upon others. To
have the Word bring forth its full
and proper fruit in u " hearts,
or from our speaking of it to u fell
low-man, it is necessary ito be filled
with the Spirit"-Rev. C. P. Det-
mars.

1t is related of a small boy who

text, he said: THE text was, 1 keep

of Selling Liquor Illegally.


Salt Lake, Utah.-In its zeal to alb
