BUSY PLAN
MING To TOUR STATE
CONTINUED from page ~

ent political unrest in the country,
which condition will never be quiet
ed, in my opinion, until some ac-
tually tangible result is obtained.
The people are taking a greater in
terest in the affairs of state than
they ever evidenced before, and on
every side there are signs of the
times. For instance, it was looked
upon as a practical impossibility to
pry loose a republican vote in Maine.
A crow-bar was required, and yet
they We're secured this fall without
violence. That the voters in all sec
lions of the United States are seek
ing different government is shown in
the fact that men not previously pub
licly identified with politics are be-
ing drawn into the present prima-
riss."
DR.. wilson said that he was not
sufficiently familiar with the opera
ton OF New Jerseys pre.ent direct
primary law to express an opinion
upon it. But" said he, we may
rest assured that out of the existing
chaotic character of our political gov
ernment will come some satisfactory
result to the people. I know how
they feel. 1 have talked with them
indiscriminately-on the trains and
in railway stations, and 1 get all over
the country at times, and~there is
widespread dissatisfaction"
1t is expected that DR.. Wilson will
open his campaign In Mercer county,
probably in Trenton shortly after
the Fourth District Congressional
Convention. DR.. Wilson is said to
feel that he is misunderstood in Mer-
Ger county, the home of Frank S.
Katzenbach, Jr., and it is his wish to
have an opportunity to speak to the
people of the county. Plans are al
ready being made for a mass meet
ing to be addressed by DR.. Wilson,
and it is likely that Mr.. Katzenbach
will preside.

pawninq Bank Bills.

"Pawnbrokers don't think much of
ten dollar bills as pledges" said the
city salesman. 81 saw a man pawn
one the other day for $3.50. When
asked why he didn't spend his $40 in
stead of soaking it for a little more
than half the amount he explained that
he wanted to keep that particular bill.
Twice before he had tried to keep a
certain bill by giving it as security to
a friend who had so many bills that he
wouldn't need to spend that particular
one, but both times the friend got his
money mixed and the keepsake was
lost after all. This time he depended
upon the pawnbroker to tide him over.
To pawn money struck me as a very
curious proceeding, but the broker as
sured me that 1t is frequently done by
people who attach a sentimental value
to a particular bin or coin."-New York

A DUKES LOVES.

The Force of the Attacks Were Meas
ursd by His Appetite.
In the late eighteenth century a DR..
Moore was tutor to the young Duke
of Hamilton of those days, whom he
accompanied on the usual continental
tour. The duke was hen eighteen and
was susceptible to feminine charms,
He had just fallen a victim to the
black eyes Of a married lady when DR..
Moore made this report to the youth
full peers mother:
"This is the third passion the duke
has had since we crossed the sea. They
generally affect his appetite, and can
make a pretty good guess at the height
Of his love by the victuals he refuses
to eat. A slight touch of love puts
him Immediately from legumes and
all kinds Of jardinage. If 1t arises a
degree higher he turns up his nose at
~fricassees and ragouts. Another de-
gree and he will rather go to bed sup
PEERLESS than taste plain roasted veal
or poulets of any sort. This is the ut
most length his passion has ever come
hitherto, for when he was at the court
with Mile. Marchenville, though she
put him entirely from greens, ragouts,
and veal, yet she made no impression
on his roast beef or mutton appetite.
He fed plentifully upon those In spite
of her charms. l intend to make a
Thermometer for the dukes passion
with four degrees-Q greens, ~ fric-
assess and ragouts, g. roast veal and
fowls, a. plain roast mutton or beef
and If ever the mercury mounts as
high as the last / shall think the case
alarming."-Argonaut

MILLT0Wh MAN is TO
Be HON0RED IN NAVY

Midtown, Sept. 19:-Emil Falk,
of Midtown, a gunner's mate on the
battleship Iowa, plunged overheard
on September l between the steel
hull of the battleship and a lighter
alongside from which she was coal
ing in the effort to save the life of
shipmate James e. Stanley.
The Iowa was lying off Annapolis,
Md, at the time, and Stanley, falling
from the forecastle of the ship, was
stunned by striking the lighter, and,
slipping between the two vessels,
was drowned. Falk dived several
times to see If the body could
have come up under the lighter.
This act. Acting Secretary Nicholson
declared, was fraught with the great
est danger, due not only to the risk
OF being crushed between the bulls,
but also of being drowned Under
meath the lighter.
In acknowledgment of his bravery
Navy Department officials have COM
mended the conduct Of Falk In the
highest terms, Falk enlisted at Buff
falo, and is a resident Of Midtown,
where his father, Joseph Falk, lives.

FOR NEW HEAD
AT PRINCETON
Woodrow Wilson's Resiqna.
lion TO be Acted Upon by
Trustees Oct. 20.
MCCLELLAN Is SUGGESTED

Princeton, Sept. 19:-News that
President Wilson would tender his
resignation to the Board Of Trustees
of Princeton University at theiI
meeting October 20, has brought sew
eral suggestions for filling the posi-
BILE vacancy. AS far as Princeton
alumni and residents Of Princeton
are concerned they have little idea
Of what will be done to name a pos
sible successor to President Wilson,
who will present his resignation and
let it be acted upon in a manner
deemed best to the board. He will
either go into the election as presi-
dent of Princeton or as q private
citizen, and If elected will drop his
college duties altogether. If defeat
ed he may return az president. The
board may not act upon his r~esigna-
ton until after election. In case It
is decided to accept the resignation
and to fill the vacancy former Mayor
George B. Mcclellan, of New York,
a sometime resident Of Princeton,
and a graduate of the university;
Stafford Little, lecturer succeeding
President Cleveland, and q non-par-
tisan In the dispute over the Prince
ton graduate school, looms up as a
strong possibility.
Mr.. Mcclellan is suggested be-
cause of his prominence as a repre-
sentative Of Princeton and Of his ex-
tensive study of political conditions,
and It is pointed out that he would
make a strong candidate with both
factions Of those who took part in
the graduate college discussion. That
a mar should be chosen who has
played hands off in this matter
would, according to the belief of
many, serve to heal the breach
caused by the trouble of last year
Mr.. Mcclellan has just stepped aside
in politics and his selection would
give him an opportunity of working
along a different, but still very use
full, line.
Dean Andrew f. West, of the
graduate school, is another who is
prominently mentioned and whose
participation in the graduate school
matters makes him a well-known
figure among alumni. Professor
West has procured large gifts Of
money for the university, the most
notable of which have been the wy
man millions, the Proctor gift and
other large sums donated for the
erection of d~ormitorfes.
Henry Burchard Fine, dean of the
university and next In authority to
President Wilson, is also suggested
as a likely successor. He Is we'll
known among the alumni of the in
stitution. President John Finley, OF
the College Of the City of New York
and also a graduate of Princeton, is
also being mentioned.
President Harry r. Garfield, son
of President Garfield and now presi-
dent of Williams College, is men
toned In this connection.

New York and the Surf.

Few New Workers ever stop to think
that n of that city's chief attractions
Is the surf. Philadelphians must go
1fty-six mileS to the ocean. Though
the folk Of Baltimore and Washington
live on tidewater, they must travel for
surf bathing to the capes. Boston is
the only other large town on the At
lantic seaboard besides New York that
has the ocean at its back door. San
Francisco and Los Angeles are the
only Pacific coast cities within trolley
ride of ocean beach. None of the Mex
lean gulf cities can be compared to
New York as a seaside resort, and as
10 New Orleans, another MECCA Of the
pleasure seekers, that lies more than
100 miles above the mouth of the Mis-
slssippi. But, including Coney Island
and Rockaway, a good many miles of
Greater New York are bounded by the
ocean. This fact, just to consider the
money making SIDE Of 1t, means an
enormous revenue to the metropolis
from the inland parts of the country.
1t is an advantage other great world
eenters, such as London, Paris and
Berlin, do not enjoy.-Argonaut.
