A WORTHY EXAMPLE.

While Perth Amboy is agitating a
non-partisan ticket for the election
of a Board of Education this fall, we
have a worthy example in Keyport
and Spotswood. No one will deny
that there are Just as good party
men in both these places as there
are in Perth Amboy. When 1t comes
to handling their own municipal
affairs, however, they are for the
best interests of the place in which
they live. In both Keyport and
Spotswood the republicans and dem
ocrats have got together on a local
ticket and petty political fights have
been eliminated. They work on the
principal that a~party name merely
does not make a good mayor, and if
they have a good man who will take
the Office they all join in electing
him regardless of what party he be-
longs to. At the same time their
party Affiliations do not suffer. When
1t comes to voting for a republican
or a democrat where such distinction
actually means something the voters
In both these places are just as loyal
to their party as in any other town.
The republican voters of Perth
Amboy would do well to study the
conditions In Keyport and spotswood
and apply the same principle to the
election of a school board in this
&city. An effort Is being made here
to take the schools out of politics.
There is at present a school board
OF nine\ members divided between
the two parties as equally as posi-
Bile. This was done by a democratic
Board Of aldermen when that board
might have had all democrats II 1t
had wanted to. The democrats have
endorsed this board and will have
the same nine men placed on the
ticket this fall. The republicans are
asked to do the same. Some repub-
licans who are opposed to the idea,
a had nine other republicans
placed on the primary ballot and it
is for the voters of that party to go
to the polls Tuesday and say
whether they will nominate the
non-partisan board, the same as the
democrats have done, and thus keep
the schools out of politics, or
whether they will nominate the
republicans and thus cause a fight at
the polls.
We have had experiences with
mixing politics In school affairs be
fore, 1t was as a result of that ex-
perience that we voted to abolish
the, old system Of electing school
commissioners and adopted the pres,
ent method. The new method will
be little better than the old. how
ever, If We are going to keep up the
political feature. Here is a chance
to eliminate this. 1t is up to the
republican voters to do it at the
primary Tuesday.

Mo More Drums,

In the battle of Waterloo the English
forces had over ninety drummer boys
killed, and the French lost nearly 200.
From that date on the armies of the
world began to dispense with drum
mers In war, and now no army has
them. Bugles are used instead of
drums, and most buglers are at least
twenty years old.

concern. and to go below 2 1000 is
alarming. This year the republican
majority fell to $1,000, the lowest
in many years. The fact that the
democrats did not gain much shows
that the Yankees are still faithful
to the Grand Old Party, but they are
decidedly Disguised with the leaders
of their party and the, way it is be-
ing run.
Thus Michigan, Wisconsin. New
Hampshire, and Vermont take their
place with Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska

progressives in the republican party,
When will the leaders of the regu-

Jersey going to do along this line?
The warning is plain for the repub-
licans.

FLOUR MAY GO LOWER.
Buyers Refuse to Take Interest Unless
Mills Make Reduction.

New York. Oct. 3.-That flour prices
must be materially reduced to effect
business is the opinion held by buyers
generally and by many of the mill rep
resentatives on the local market. Tha
northwestern mills are still holding
rather stubbornly to high prices, al
though willing to make some conces-
sions, but apparently not enough to
meet the views of buyers. The mills
contend that cash wheat has not de-
clined sufficiently to justify the reduc-
tions asked for, but buyers say they
can afford to wait and under present
circumstances it is only a matter Of a
short time.
Soft winters are weak and buyers
would demand excellent quality if they
were willing to pay as high as 450 il

around the s5 mark for the best
brands. but the amount of business
done at this figure is small and buyers
Fare more inclined to consider $4.S5 as

Baltimore, Oct. 3.-The recent ac-

commissioners in placing an armed
guard around police headquarters in an
effort to resist the seating of tempor-
ary board constitutes resistance of the
lawful authority of the state in the be-
lief of Governor Austin L. Crothers.
He declared today that he will take
all necessary steps to put it down. even
to the extent of calling out the militia
to enforce his orders. States Attorney
General Isaac Lobestraus has advised
the governor that he has a right to call
the militia power of the state in case
any resistance is made.
The members of the board are under
charges of incompetence and miscon-

SEES BETTER WORK.
Hudson Says Every Church Member
Eventually Will Be Missionary.

Every church member eventually will
be missionary. according to the pre-
diction OF Marshall A. Hudson, foun-
der Of the Baraca- -Philathea organized
Bible class movement, made at an
Auditorium mass meeting Sunday
night. Several hundred persons were
present.
Let no one think that he can send
another to do his work olong these
lines" said Mr.. Hudson. 'fIf you want
to get the credit for having saved a
50 Tou must do the saving yourself.
The spread of Christ's kingdom de-
nands that every church member be-
come a missionary. All of us can do
missionary work in our offices. our fac
tories, our homes, and in our pleasures
and friendships.
Il firmly believe that very mans
ticket through the golden gates is void
unless it has the endorsement of one
or more souls saved by the holder. I
think a man worth lot more than the
dollar or dollars. No man has right to
think that his business is Of greater
Importance thar the saving of a mans
soul aid his future happiness"
Several successful meetings were
held throughout the day by Mr.. Hud-
son, two at the Y. NJ. c. A. and one
at the First NJ. E. church at 2:30 in
the afternoon which was Well attended.

TO REPLACE NAVY
Lieut.. Gen. Miles Sees a Great
Future for Aeroplane.
Declares That Warning Nations
Must Now Consider Craft.

Denver. Oct. 3.-The aeroplane, in
stead of being an adjunct to the navy,
is likely to replace it. SO far as coast
defense is concerned. in the opinion
of Lieutenant General Nelson A Miles.
U. S. A. retired, who made the state
ment on arriving here.
''The aeroplane eventually will be a
means of coast defense" said the gem
eral, discussing aerial navigation.
"Aeroplanes can be built by the score
for what one battleship costs. Their
use would curtaiI greatly the expense
of building coast defense vessels. When
aeroplanes can fly hundred miles
out to sea and drop explosives over
hostile fleets these fleets will be eau
tious about attacking a coast. And
this condition will come.
Already any nation which goes to
war must reckon with the aeroplane
They would be extremely advantageous
in reconnoitering and when up 1000
feet would be practically immune from
injury by rifle shots.''
