ANOTHER Of the plants of the Roebling
Company Is to be removed from Trenton
to the rapidly growing town in Florence
township and large force of men is en-
ployed in grading and building and
before spring opens there will be many
new houses and other buildings on the
tract. This means much to that neighbor.
hood and to the county. The industries
that have already been located at that
point and the increase In the valuation OF
property has greatly aided the township
Of Florence In the matter of taxation and
has added many dollars to the budget of
Burlington county. The authorities OF
Roebling haYe built the place at their own
expense while paying money in the public
treasury and all they ever asked for has
been refused them. They want a stone
road to Bordentown. Not only do they
want Ii but they need 1t and they ought
to have 1t. There should not be the
slightest hesitancy in putting aside some
other road that has already been approved
and allow Roebling to get in at once with
the road that is not entirely for their ben
eft but for the good of all who have
business dealings with the place. Under
the system pursued by the Board of Free
holders the member from Florence has
not yet seemed to be able to bring the
influence to bear that would benefit his
township, while others have had nj
trouble TO get what they asked for. Per
haps the reduction of the number of mem
bers of the Board of Freeholders might b,
beneficial, for we believe five business
men. looking at the matter in the propel
light, would say that Roebling should
have preference in the matter of an alb
solutely necessary stone road over som,
localities that are not doing as much fo
the county as Is the prosperous manufac
turing town up the river.

FORMER GOVERNOR Edward Casper
Stokes believes there is nothing like being
in the limelight and he told the young
Republicans of Middlesex county as much
Thursday night at New Brunswick, In
explaining why the Republican leaders
should dignity the personal campaign OF
Governor Wilson, seeking an endorsement
for the Democratic nomination for the
President of the United States. Mr.. Stokes
is right In his contention that when the
Governor of the people, not of a party,
takes the stump to advocate partisan
policies and crafty personal ambition. by
attacking individual citizens by name,
including his predecessors In Office, 1t is
the duty of the assailed to make answer
to the assailant. And he did Thursday
night in plain, unvarnished terms that
showed clearly the hypocrisy of the re-
organized Democracy under new leader.
ship" as Boss Wilson calls 1t. His review
of the Wilson campaign was impartial
and honest, and in summing it up he took
occasion to show the improperly, the
downright demsgogy of the Governor, In
using his Office for the building up Of a
party machine, a function that is foreign
to the prerogatives Of the Office. And he
made 1t clear that there Is not in the laws
of the Legislature single reform measure
of purely Democratic brand, quoting
Governor Wilson In support Of the declar-
alton. Mr.. Stokes had wide field for
criticism Of the Governors partisan
attacks on the men and measures who and
which were responsible for. the States
present prosperity, and he made use Of it
to the best advantage his limited time
would allow Camden Courier.

SLEEPER, of the Palmyra NeDs, attempts
to come back, not with any new ideas,
but with the hackneyed affairs that always
are on hand when no good argument can
be offered. TIE MOUNT HOLLY News is
designated mud-slinger, which coming
from the Palmyra end is rather funny
Ii there ever has been a mud-slinger to
beat the Palmyra man, we would like to
see him trotted out And the mud has
not been thrown out In an open manner,
but has been distributed under the guise
OF contributions, the names of the writers
not being made public either through
fear or shame. And Sleeper prides him
self on supporting good men when he has
repeatedly allowed statements in his paper
that have reflected on many good citizens.
Then there is another stock reply, that
about small circulation. That ought to
hurt, but it does not. And In another
place the Palmyra sheet says we are sup
porting Stecher because we 'have to" or
get cut out of the political printing with
out which we cannot exist. That's awful.
Sleeper says we cannot read him out of
the Republican party. That is SO, for 1t
Is long time since, If ever, that he was
In that party. He is just what we
designated him before--a "sorehead, -
with seldom good word for anybody and
with many kicks at people who are at
least his equals as good citizens, If not
better. His manly" qualities are plainly
portrayed by the letter he wrote to the
editor Of the Rioerside Press in which he
tried to get the latter out of legitimate
business and leave It clear for Sleeper,
coupling the request with the statement
that he had salary to fall back upon and
intimating that he would eventually win.
He gave another instance of his man
liness'' when, after having knocked hard.
and had 9 comeback on him, he played the
baby act and threatened libel suit. OF
course as our circulation Is very small
these remarks will reach a limited number,
but we reiterate what we said last week.
we are glad there are not many of the
stripe of the Palmyra Neaos man In our
ranks.

William T. Stecher has never been known

perate man. does not use liquor nor to-
bacco In any shape and has always borne
good reputation. The stories that have
been circulated against him have been
given publicity merely for political effect
Certain people have agreed that they do
not want him to be Sheriff and they will
use any little thing they can catch on to
for the purpose Of defeating him. Will
liam T. Stecher will make good sheriff
and he should be elected.
