been built about two years ago.
The fire was discovered In the ha:- at
about $50 O'Clock. There Is no theory az
to how 1t originated unless one of the
hired men had been smoking.
As in most hay fires, the blaze gained
quick Roadway. In a few moments the
barn seemed to he roaring furnace, the
flames Les ping high in the air and illumi-
mating the sky. The lower part of the
barn quickly filed with smoke. making
1t impossible for men to release the nine
calves The glow of the fire was plainly

II LOGlc OF THE FIGURES IN ESSEX.

~ \ examination of the election returns in Essex county falsifes
nv and makes ridiculous the charge by Chairman Grosscup,
of the State Democratic Committee, that the Democratic
party organization and leaders in Essex had robbed the Democrats
of the fruits of victory in the Legislature by defeating their own
legislative ticket. Sheriff elect John T. Monahan received "a, 130
votes. Harry V. Osborne's vote for senator was 3, 495, or 365 more
votes than Monahan's. The Democratic Assembly vote ran as high
as 23,SS3, or 62 less than Osbornes. Monahan was elected. The
united vote for Simpson and Brierley for sheriff was polled by the
Republican and Democratic "progressiyes" to defeat the organiza-
ton candidates. 1t could not be charged that the Democratic
organization tried to defeat Monahan for sheriff, and yet if the
Simpson vote had gone to Baumann and the Brierley vote to Mona
han the latter would have been defeated. The fact is evident that
both Osborne and Monahan, as well as the Democratic Assembly
ticket. were heavily cut by the Wilson Democrats. The vote by
districts makes it plain that while in the poll for sheriff the Wilson
men gave their votes to Brerey and Simpson, in the poll for SEN
afor and assemblymen they voted for Colgate and the Republican
Assembly candidates, as there were. no Independent Democratic
legislative candidates to support. If there is logic in plain figures
it is plainly demonstrated in this case that the defeat of the Demo
cratic legislative ticket, senator and assembymen, was accom-
plished by the votes of the Wilson Democrats for the Republican
candidates for Senate and Assembly.

FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1911.
WHY ESSEX WAS AVOIDED BY WILSON,

I'D Ut why was Essex county deserted during the entire cam
lid paign by the Governor and State Chairman Grosscup, ana
what effect did that have upon the Democratic legislative
ticket? 1t is on record that the Essex County Democratic Com
mittee forwarded an earnest request to the Governor to make an
address in this county and extensive preparations were made for a
massmeeting. The request met with a refusal, and Essex county
was the only large county unvisited. This action was accepted as
a reputation of the Democratic ticket in Essex and as an in1ma-
ton to the Wilson Democrats that the ticket was under the
executive ban and that they should not support 1t. What other
construction could be placed upon the Governors refusal to say
a word in a county known to be the pivotal one in the election?
But il was said last summer that it would be policy for the GOV
ernor to have Il Republican Legislature on his hands next winter
81 ms te keen him in the limelight. There was more glory in fight
ing an opposition Legislature than in bossing a Democratic one.
Does this remark furnish the key to the mystery of the Governors
studied avoidance of the pivotal county during the campaign, even
though one of his most devoted adherents in the Legislature was
in sore straits and needed help?

DIR. ]. NJ. Buckley, editor and divine,
addressing a New York city Sunday
school, related an incident that greatly
interested the children. He told of
meeting a ragged, hungry-looking lit
lie girl in the street on a wintry day,
and when he questioned her she recited
a pitiful tale of an invalid mother and
brothers and sisters without food.
After giving her a silver dollar, the
doctor followed her at a safe distance
to see what she would do with the
money.
Nov children what do you think
was the hrst thing she bought with
that dollar?" asked DR.. Buckley.
Hands up!'
One child after another ventured a
guess, but none proved correct. Finally.
a little boy whose appraised hand alone
remained was asked for his answer
to the question.
"A basket" he said.
Correct said the doctor. There

The boy still hesitated, and DR..

coin.

"Be-because," stammered the young

Mrs. Upton Sinclair, in an interview,
condemned the religious bigot and ia

that beautiful things are bad.
