s7oKEs's SUGGESTION OF ROOSEVELT.

A HY should former Governor Murphy question the judgment
WV of former Governor Stokes in suggesting the probability
of the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt as the Repubh-
can presidential candidate in 1912? Is not a presidential candidacy
open to party discussion until the nominating convention shall have
named a candidate? And has any particular candidate secured a
mortgage on the New Jersey delegation to the convention! NOR
should the fact that a man has said he was not a candidate exclude
him from consideration. else we shall have to change the old formula
and declare that office should go only to the oficeseeker. The
paramount thought of a party is to secure a candidate whom the
people will elect, not merely a candidate who wants the nomina-
ton and who has certain personal qualities that commend him TO
the few. The Republican party next year will need a strong and
inspiring leadership. Mr.. Taft gives no inspiration and has lent no
strength to his party, which is compelled to apologize for his con
fessed errors and blunders. Why should former Governor Stokes
or any other Republican close his eyes to patent facts at a time
when Republican party sentiment, dissatisfied with Taft, instinct
lively turns to Roosevelt? Why should anyone be inhibited from
voicing that sentiment?

SHALL THERE BE LEGISLATIVE dRAFT2

TA OR many years the taxpayers of the State looked on passlvely,
if not consentingly and saw every Legislature convert It's
organization into public spoisgivng. Men who had been
elected by the people to make laws TO. the moral and material wei
fare of the State set the example at once of looting the public
treasury By creating and maintaining useless salaried offices. This
practise has cost the StHe hundreds of thousands of dollars, put
the demoralizing example has been infinitely more costly. Even
n "reform" legislature has not disdaned this dishonest practise.
The Assembly last year had on it's pay7rolls nine sinecurlsts. The
Senste had twenty three. More than twelve thousand dollars, vir-
tualy flched from the treasury, was paid to these official vermi1orm
appendages by Legislative appropriation. The next Legislature VIII
be Republican in both branches and the responsibility for another
similar raid on the treasury in the organization of the two houses
will rest entirely upon the Republicans. They can be assured that
it will be pointed out and commented upon if the practise shall
be continued. The civil service law has greatly Impoverished OPP
portunity for the oficeseeker seeking reward for party services.
There is no civil service for officers and employees OF the Leglsla-
turc, who are appointed only for each session. So the demands
upon legislative majority members have increased in number ana
urgency, But the plain and honest course for the Legislature to
pursue is to organize i'll the same way as a private corporation
would do and employ no more help than is legitimately needed.

A PARCELS POST BILL.

O. ENATOR BOURNE'S parcels post bill is one of a number to
be introduced in Congress, and it goes somewhat beyond the
overcautious recommendation by the postmaster-general.
There are $4,000 carriers on rural mail routes and they carry only
one-ffth the amount of matter they can carry. Given parcels of
not more than eleven pounds each they can deliver without any
additional equipment cost. The system can therefore be established
ut once on alIithe rural postal routes as easily as on any selected
one, and at the rates proposed by Senator Bourne, ten cents for one
pound packages and four cents for every additional pound up to
the maximum weight. The system can be put in operation in time
for the results to justify its extension TO cities and towns even
before the present session Of Congress comes to a close.

Glory.
Glory.
. dreamer dreamed of glory

01OES
A dreamer dreamed of glory
Along some Turing way,
He saw his white plume shining
Amid life's grand arrsy.
His dream went soaring skyward
Above times rush and roar,
And so he missed the glory
That blossomed by his door.
A humble soul, ~undreaming, .
Trudged %blithefully along
The little ~hedged-in highway
And lightened toll with song;
He gave no thought to glory
And fame's unending strife,
He lived and loved, and beauty
Bloomed sweetly in his life.
Who seeks afar for glory
All weariiy S. all roam,
And find no end to seeking,
For glory dwells at home.
Where human hearts go singing
To make the n day bright,
True glory to crown them
With peace at candle-light.

LABOR MONEY wRoNdFULLY OBTAINED.

NAME of the officers of the Federation of Labor states that the
w compensation paid to barrow, the lawyer who had charge
of the Mcnamara case, was at least 100000. This money
was earned by the sweat of labor and the subscriptions were OBJ
tanned by false pretenses. barrow knew as early as last July that
his clients were guilty. The money was contributed in the belief
that they were innocent and bounded, otherwise there would have
been NJ contributions. DarrOw received the contributions and en-
couraged them by his attitude and assurances, and about onehalf
of the whole goes into his own pockets. Is it permissible for a
LAWYER to do such things? Is not that money justly recoverable
by the deceived and wronged thousands of workingmen who paid it
out of their daily wages? 1t seems monstrous and Ubiquitous that
in such Il case the sympathies of wageearners should be grossly
misled and PLAYED upon with the ends in view of defeating justice
and enriching a criminal lawyer.

in what proportion to maintain con-
sistency so that it can be distributed
over the land by sprinkler. The land
is the richest quality of peat bog and
is now being thoroughly drained. @.
e. P. Seattle, Wash.
Answer-Lime is often added to
soils that are highly acid but the con-
dition that exists in this case does
not seem to warrant the use of lime,
especially added to the manure. AS
matter of fact it very nearly de-
stroys the value OF the manure.
Lime rock which can usually be
obtained at from three to four dollars
per ton is better to use for high acid
soils, but not mixed with the manure.
1t is possible that the peat bog
mentioned is deficient in phosphorus
as we'll as being highly acid, in which
case the lime rock would not put 1t
in first class condition. Barnyard
manure is usually counted upon to
aid in furnishing humus to the soil
as we'll as various fertilizing con-
stituents but when added to peat
soil there would Of course be no bene-
fit from the humus since there is too
much to begin with.
