One of the essential feature

One of the essential features
the campaign this year in
the election Of supervisors, will
be the question of roads. The
candidate who is not right and
competent in this matter will
be a lonesome Willie" when the
vote is counted. The demand for
good roads has become almost
universal, and most people know
when the money has been ex
pended judiciously on the public
highways. Many dollors are spent
to get good roads with no ade-
Quate result no matter whether
the money was spent with the
motive of graft, dishonesty, or
with honest purpose, the loss to
the public is the same, and is
OnerOus. This obtrudes the re-
quirement that the men who have
the building of our roads in
charge must be competent as well
as honest.
No good citizen objects to
money being spent to advance
public welfare, but when it is
wasted through incompetency OF
graft, he is doubly justifiable
in making complaint.
The position of every candidate
for an office that has any bear.
ing on road building should h
exacted by the voters and thel
he should be carefully weighed
as to competency and integrity
along with his position. If NJ
should be found wanting in ans

The advanced stage of sOcia
life demands better public high
ways, than ever before in tho
history of the world. The i'm

How Gold Plate 10 Made.

Talking OF silver gilt plate. it IL
often spoken of as gold plate. One
hears Of the gold service at Windsor
castle, OF the gold plate owned by SOW
ereigns of Europe and by other per.
sons in this country as well as abroad
AS matter of fact, these so called
gold services are silver gilt, and only
few pieces of pure gola are owned
by the English crown or any other
crown. 1t may interest our readers to
learn how this fire, mercurial or water
gildlng--for 1t Is known by all of these
three names--is done. Pure gold and
mercury are mixed into paste. 1'he
silver article to he gilded has been
chemically cleaned, Is rubbed all over
with this paste, which has been placed
in silk bag, just as the blue used In
washing is put in bag. When the
piece of plate has been rubbed over
it is perfectly white. 40 is then put
INTO mn Nor0,i and gradually the MGR
curry goes OF in fumes, leaving on the
article deposit of pure gold, which
has practically become one with the
piece OF silver and will last for centu'
ries. London Cor. New York Post
