TOMORROW.

Tomorrow Is the day to
vote. Every citizen of New
Jersey goes on record whether
be fayors an administration
for the people, or whether he
would rather have the state
run by the Board of Guar
dians.
Woodrow Wilson went be-
for the people q year ago with
certain definite promises. He
declared that he would be the
peoples representative IN
Trenton. He further declared
that his party needed o reor-
ganization along new and
more progressive lines. He
also promised, # elected, to
become the real leader of his
party as well as governor Of
the state.
All Of these promises have
been carried out. The gov
ernor has proven himself the
representative of the people.
He has successfully reorgan-
1xed his party along progress
I've lines. He is actually the
leader of the Democracy as
well IS governor Of the state.
Tomorrow, by their votes,
the people will say whether
they approve or disapprove
Of what the governor has
done. The whole country is
watching the outcome of the
election in New Jersey this
year. Governor Wilson is the
most prominently mentioned
of all the likely nominees for
President on the Democrat
ticket next year. The reforms
he has been instrumental in
placing on the statute books
In New Jersey have attracted
wide attention. New Jersey is
on trial. The nation wants to
know whether we approve OF
them or not. The people
throughout the country are
watching to see whether vii
son Is sustained at home OF
whether he is turned down.
"A Democratic Legislature
means Wilson is approved. A
Republican majority means
Wilson is repudiated. Your
vote for assemblyman will tel
how yon stand. Which shall
It be Mr.. VoterY 1t is up te
you to speak tomorrow. The
issue IS plain.

ING NEWS Saturday. Mr.. Enrich
draws a very interesting pen pic
ture Of life in rural Russia and ap-
~parently he was contented and hap
by, enjoying all the advantages OF
civilization perhaps even more than
if he were living in the United
States.
Yet how sudden and mysterious
was his death. being shot down by
an assassin through a window
while sitting In his home. We a
this is typical of Russia and offsets
all the pleasant features tha Mr..
Enrich has told about in his let
ter. 1t must be admitted, however,
that such murders are not unknown
and the stories of our crimes and
l~ynching may sound Just as horri-
bic in Russia as their crimes sound
to us.
The great contrast between the
two countries is to be found in the
education and enlightenment of the
masses. Probably the peasants of
Russia are contented and better off
than IL they were struggling in
America. But this is working on
the principle that where ignorance
Is bliss it's folly to be WISE" We
might, with the same reason, say
the great majority of negroes were
happy and contented working as
slaves on the southern plantations,
therefore let them alone. On the
same ground we might refuse to
send missionaries and civilization to
the heathens and savages In differ
ent parts of the earth, believing
them satisfied and contented in their
ignorance and superstition.
We are told that peasants of Rus
STA are bitterly opposed to new in
teryentions of civilization and prog
ress. They refuse to adopt new
and modern methods in farming.
When the new ideas in the way of
machinery and other labor saving
devices are brought to them, they
destroy them. 1t may have been
because Mr.. Enrich enjoyed the
electric light and all the
modern conveniences In his home
that brought about the dislike that
into hatred causing his un-
death.
New Jersey Is having her first ex-
perience with an employers liability
.s
law this year. We find that, accord
ing to Mr.. Enrich, Russia has strict
laws regarding the protection of the
working Instead of imposing
new here, we r merely
the protection to the employee
4
hat other nations have had in
rogue for many years. A real
of the facts makes it
lain that some Of the ~so-ealled
backward nations are not as black
IS they are painted and boosted
progress and civilization is not so
ar in advance of all the rest as we
ire sometimes inclined to believe.

Francis Xavier Fox, miner

dence hospital with a bullet in
his breast and the bone of the
right leg above the knee shatter-
ed by three bullets, while Jack
Dillon, shift boss at the Stewart,

Several days ago Dillon's wife
left him, going to work for Mrs.
Fox. On the morning of the
trouble Dillon appeared at the
boarding house and asked the
proprietress to intercede in his
behalf and endeavor to get his
wife to return to him. Mrs. Fox
suggested he go and talk with
the woman for himself, which he
did. The wife declined to return
to him, however and he departed
and in the afternoon as Fox was
sitting on the poarch Dillon I'M

revolver in his hand, and without
a word shot Fox in the breast.
Fox ran around the house, Dillon

him, and three more shots took
effect.

Tucatan's. Water Caverns,

Since Yucatan. where the Mayas
built their strange cities, is Of coral
limestone formation, it follows that it
would have been a desert but for it's
subterranean rivers and the cenotes,
or water caverns, which give access
to them. The Mayas noted the courses
Of the underground streams and built
their towns round the cenotes. Many
cenotes are now found surrounded by
ruins and give indications Of the
methods employed by the Mayas to
reach their cool waters. In Uxmal a
cenote about forty feet deep is inhabit-
ed by a peculiar species Of fish. At
Bolanchen there is a cenote having
five openings in the rocks at the bot
tom of the cavern. Ladders made by
tying three trunks together lead down
a total distance of 1,40O feet, but the
perpendicular depth from the surface
to the water is not more than 500 feet.

Chinese and Chinanan.

On the subject of surprising modern
words it is notable that the Oxford
dictionary finds no earlier instance of
"Chinaman.' in the sense of a native
Of China, than 1854, when Emerson so
used it. The previous word was "Chi-
nese," from which the plural 'Chi-
neses' was formed by Milton and his
contemporaries, and the false singular
"Chinee' by modern Americans. But
"Chinaman'' in another sense, that of
dealer III china, was in use long be-
fore 1854. The Oxford dictionary gives
three instances Of it from London di-
rectories Of 1772. 1901 and 1919, but
does not notice that in 1853 one "Joh1l
Crowther, Chinaman," was gazetted
bankrupt. 'Chinawoman' in a SINH
lar sense goes back to Ben Jonson.-

Ridinu = Giraffe

General Wood Of the English army
was the hero of many adventures, but
the one he called the strangest is the
time be rode a giraffe in India. With
a party of friends he was being en-
tertained by the rajah Of Jowra, who
exhibited his rare collection OF wild
animals to his guests. General (theD
Major, Wood was a daring horseman
and on a wager offered to ride the
giraffe with no bride save rope.
The rajah warned him of the danger
but be would not listen. So the giraffe
was brought to a balcony. from which
the major vauted on it's back. In
stantly the great creature was off like
the wind, and, once fairly started, it
settled down into Il curious galEop that
soon made the rider so sick and dizzy
that he fell off like log, receiving a
blow on the head from the animal's
knee and then in the face from it's
foot. He was unconscious for an hour,
and the first use he made Of his voice
was to- resolve that he would never
ride a giraffe again.

Iennxson's RHYMES.

AS an example of faulty rhyming
the great Alfred Tennyson is being
held up by an English critic as in the
very forefront of offenders. He is
shown to have taken license as great
poet that would have damned any
small rhymer. The critic gives as ex-
amples of Tennyson's imperfect rhymes
''river'' and ''ever," ''given'' and ''heav-
en- which are considered too conven-
tional to be criticised. He then passes
on to the famous "Charge Of the Light
Brigade" where Tennyson, with the
inaccurate ear of the thorough Briton,
rhymes ''onward' and hundred"
''said" and ''dismayed," hundred" and
"thundered." "hundred'' and "blunder-
ed ''hundred' and "wondered," all in
that one short poem. One may look in
vain through the works Of Longfellow,
Bryant, Lowell or any American poet
of the first rank for such orthoepical
laundering, which passes without Ques-
ton among Britons.
