A DEVELOPING NATIONAL GUARD.

cTa HE new instructions to the National Guard from the adtutant
generals Office prescribing the training to be had at the
armory as distinguished from that in the field shows pro
gressiveness in the development of the State guard. In the armory
the men are to be instructed in all the essentials of field duty
including camp sanitation, engineering, first aid, etc. Field duties
wll consist of practise marches as well as evolutions, the making
OF entertainments, cooking, etc. In former years armory duty was
a routine of squad, company and battalion drill, while field duty
meant Il lounge for Il week under tents, with a repetition of drills
and guard duty. Meals were served by a restaurateur, camplife
discipline was lax and rules were violated with impunity. The
National Guard with such a training was worthless as a military
establishment Under the operation of the Dick law it is now
being licked into military shape. There are some defects that can
be remedied only in a constitutional way, but even while they
remain we are in "A fair way of soon getting a'second line of defense

Novel Suggestion.

No earthly punishment can follow the
man who hanged himself to a door last
night, leaving his wife to support their
two children. 1t is interesting to con-
template the punishment he VIII get

point of view, but as a matter Oh
human justice. However, that Is not
the important question al present.
The thing for society to think about
is the support of the widowed mother
and her orphaned children. Drink MADE

A cLAMOR DEARLY PAID FOR.

tn ATERSON would have joined the other municipalities years
ago in building Il trunk sewer. and at a cost very much less
than the present estimate, if its authorities had not per
mitted themselves to be Influenced by unreasoning and fanatical
clamor by one or two of the local newspapers that represented
the enterprise to be engineered as ii corrupt job in the interest of
Newark. That driyel, kept up day after day, held up sewer build
ing until the increased cost of labor and material added about 20
per cent. to the construction expense. What with the increase in
the assessment and the expert and lega, expenses, as well as
damages Paterson is compelled to pay, the city has been well
penalized for its newspaper rot. If the trunk sewer could have
been constructed within eight years after the first commission was
appointed the Passaic river would now be purified, it would be
attracting thousands of home-seekers from New York, residential
property in the Passaic Valley would be worth millions more than
it is and Patersons as well as the other communities in the sewer
age district, would be experiencing large benefits.

THE DEBAsEMENT OF THE STAGE.

1Ma HE parading of women made notorious by crime or lmmo-
raEty on the public stage or platform to cater to morbid
curiosity and make profit out of II is an evil that Will prop
ably exist as long as audiences can be attracted by such exhib1
tons. Beulah Binford, the abandoned girl who figured IN the Beat
tie murder case in Virginia. is booked for appearances on the stage
in Northern cities. Her engagement for such d purpose is an out
rage on the stage and Il gross afront to moral sentiment. But a
case of this kind is really one for the public to deal with. This
scarlet woman. with her malodorous record and the faint of a
great crime against pure womanhood on her skirts, would quickly
disappear from public sight if her appearances brought no profit
to her merecenary manager. -

BANK CONSOLIDATION IN NEW YORK.

M7 ONSOLIDATION of banking interests goes on irresistibly.
" In New York another great merger of trust companies with
combined deposits of more than $S2OOOO00 and capital and
surplus of 1913 27S,00O is about to be effected. The two banks are
controlled by men belonging to the Standard Oil interests, who
can give the consolidated bank powerful support. With this back
ing and the economy of one establishment and one set of officers
instead of two the share value of the stock must be appreciated
greatly. BY the merger, too, the new bank will have resources to
greatly enlarge the scope of it's operations.

pERpLEx1TlEs OF THE ELECTION LAWS.

m WELLINFORMED politician in Jersey City, who announces
IN his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for sheriff,
managed to make a proper fling of his nomination petition,
but failed to comply with the requirement of the law Tat in five
days he should designate the committee to handle his campaign
funds. BY the law that omission is construed as a refusal to ac-
cept the nomination. The incident illustrates the intricacies and
perplexities of the new election laws. The average man does not
make a close study of the letter of the law, and even the simplest
statutes are bewildering to the many. The Geran law is so com
plicated in its machinery that the lawyer legislator who introduced
it failed to understand it months after the act was passed and
signed.

SCHOOL DANCES IN WINTER, TOO.

IT T is the purpose of the Jepsey City School Board to continue
during the winter the neighborhood social gatherings and
dances in the public schoolhouses that were authorized in July
to combat the influence of the public dance halls. The school roof
dances in the summer have given every satisfaction to the com
missioners. The experiment in Jersey City is being watched by
public educators everywhere. If the results fulfil the hopes of the
school board there will be a demand in all cities for the utilization
of school buildings for a purpose so beneficial to the morals and
spirit of the neighborhoods in which they are located.

POLITICS ON BOTH BORDERS.

1ITa HERE are hot politics on both our northern and southern
borders. In Canada the reciprocity issue is being fought
out with a fereeness and vigor seldom witnessed in Cana
dian politics. In Mexico a presidential election campaign is on and
the partisans of Madero and Reyes are keeping the country in a tur
MOL from end to end. There is no danger of any armed collisions in
Canada. There is always more or less violence in Mexican politics.
After the turbulence in our two neighbor countries shall have
subsidized the United States will begin to enter upon its presidential
election, and the signs are that it will be one of the hottest ever
waged.

Mobile, Ala.-"I suffered for seven years, with womanly trouble" writes Mrs. Sigurd Hansen in a letter from this city. q felt weak and always had a headache and was always going to the doctor. At last I was operated on, and felt better, but soon had the same trouble.
 My husband asked me to try Cardui. I felt better after the first bottle, and now, I have a good appetite and sleep well. I feel fine, and the doctor tells me I am looking better than he ever saw me"
 If you are sick and miserable, and suffer from any of the pains due to womanly trouble-try Cardui.
 Cardui is successful because it is composed of ingredients that have been found to act curatively on the woman ly constitution.
 For more than fifty years, it has been used by women of all ages, with great success. Try 1t. Your druggist sells it.
