Opposes James MARITIME

ODDOScN JdiUcs HbAfAhhNs
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
I am not personally acquainted with
Mr.. James e. MARITIME, but 1 am quite
familiar with his views on the tarin
and the money question, without men
tioning some other very important
questions.
I think it would be little short OF a
crime to elect such a man to the Uni
ted States Senate as the representative
of the Democracy of this State. He
has absolutely no right to presume to
represent a conservative State when
there Is so much at stake and when
the livelihood of employee and en-
ployer may be endangered. No man.
no matter how high his position, should
so forget himself as to attempt to foist
such a man upon the party. no mat
ter upon what plea.
There Is absolutely no sentiment for
this man MARITIME In the community
and there is some underlying motive
when the Governor OF this State stulti-
hes himself to the extent of advocating
an exponent of doctrines which are
deadly to the most vital interests of
the State.
1t ia time for men to come out and
talk plainly on this question. 1t is un-
b~elievable thai the joint assembly OF
the House and Senate, of this State is
not alive to the true feeling OF the
people of this State. AS between James
Smith, tr, and James E. MARITIME, VINO
can hesitate? Former United States
Senator Smith knows the people of this
state and knows the needs of the State
He is conservative, successful and has
the confidence of the people of this
State. James E. MARITIME Is most dan
gerous where he should be most sound
This is MOI a free trade State, and It is
not a free silver State. James e. Mar
tine is an open and avowed advocate
of both. He should not get n vote II
the Joint assembly. Yours respectfully
NEWARKER.
How Marines Own Town Views Him
To tho Editor Of the Evening Star:
A short time ago the citizens OF
Piainfeld attached their names to 6

cast upon his character. The missivs

II all arbitration problems were as
simple as the one now presented for
solution by Haiti and santo Domingo
the prospects for lasting world peace
would be very, very bright indeed.
1t liz only necessary that the arbiter
be big and strong enough to say in
rendering his decision in each case pre-
scented for settlement: This, gentle
men, is my verdict, and understand
me 1t goes as it lays. If either or
both of the parties to the former dis
pute see fit to question this decision
they have me to lick"
Haiti seeks the good offices of Uncle
Sam in making peace with it's hostile
neighborhood, and If the invitation is
accepted it won't really make u great
deal Of difference whether or not Santo
Domingo feels like letting 1t go at
that.
The little West Indian republics are
fortunate In having a big, good-natured
elder brother to settle for them their
little disputes fairly and TO see that
they stsy settled.

Miss Myers and the filter went into

she scarcely dared to look at her

When she reached home Aunt Ju
was in the back yard gossiping with

stairs with her burden unseen. She
slowed the box away on the top shelf
OF her closet where she knew Aunt Ju
would not be apt TO SEQ It. Then she
bathed her face and hands and went
