A WHOLESOME EXAMPLE.

It is generally inspiring to notice
the manner in which Governor Wood
row Wilson, of New Jersey, is admin
istering the affairs OF that state. The
splendid poise and sanity Of his judg-
ment and actions bring him more and
more into the limelight for considera-
ton as a presidential candidate
Recent news reports relate the
manner in which Mr.. Wilson showed
his independence of party bias by nam
ing a Republican leader a man of I'M
questioned ability and merit, as judge
of Essex county and by yetOing the
bill introduced by a very close friend
all in the same day In each in
stance, Mr.. Wilson sent to the legisla-
ture a concise message, giving his
reason for the course pursued in each
instance.
These are but a few instances of the
genuinely business-like and constant
Iy wise methods pursued by Mr.. Will
son in administering the affairs of
state He looks not merely to the
pIacating of party affiliations by pat
ronage but he takes the broader view
of doing what is just and most salts
factory for the entire commonwealth.
He has shown that he is not only Il
practical man but also a man with a
conscience.
Mr.. Wilson is probably the greatest
exponent of the principles of dem
ocracy and Democratic government
who is engaged in political life to-
day He is the impersonation of real
Democratic principles The rule of
the superior people" as he terms the
vested interests. must end in favor of
the masses
A fuller statement of his views, TO
which reference was made in the fore
going paragraphs, are as follows
Under the demoralizing influence
or SUCH policies as are emDOdled Ill the
high protective tariff, this has become,
in fact, the theory of the republican
party The superior people, the
people of large business and of large
experience must, in their view, determ-
inc and be sponsors for the policy Of
the country.
at is against this theory that the
great reaction has set in. The first
victories for the people have been
won; victory after victory will follow
these first successes until We have
again carried our institutions to their
first inspiration and founded once
more absolute confidence in the peO-
pie as thir own masters and arbiters. -

No Place to Smoke His Kind.

A remark that sounded like the
right thing at the right time was made
at a banquet the other evening by AL
bert H. Coggins, the young lawyer who
ran for magistrate on the city party
ticket a few years ago, says the Phil
adelphia Times.
AS the cigars were being passed, one
of Coggin's friends iocularly remarked
that he ought not to take any, as he
had several of his own in his pocket.
That's true,' said Coggins, 4
have several of my own in my pocket
but, you know | wouldn't dare TO
smoke such an inferior brand in such
superior company"
He got the cigar.

PERHAPS Not,

An instructor in a church school
where much attention was paid to
sacred history, dwelt particularly on
the phrase And Enoch was not, for
God took him" So many times was
this repeated in connection with the
death of Enoch that he thought even
the dullest pupil would answer COR
rectly when asked i'll examination:
State in the exact language of the
Bible what is said of Enoch's death.
But this was the answer he got;
"Enoch was not what God took him
for. "-Brooklyn Life

(New York WOTld)

There is nothing in life but the joy OF
the minute,
There is nothing in love that We do
not put into it,
There is nothing can happen unless We
begin it,
There is nothing worth winning but
what We can win it.
There is nothing so sad as to set US
assigning,
There is nothing we'd do that is not
worth trying,
There is never a danger too great for
defying,
The beauty of earth it is folly deny
ing.
There is never sorrow should cause
us repjining,
For sorrows are made for the spirit S
refining;
So turn all your clouds inside out til
their lining
Of silver shall rival the sun in its
Ginning.
If you think that too long you have
waited and striven,
Then remember you've cotton as much
as you've given.
In the loaf of your burden just look
for the leaven;
For Gods in the world-and the world
is His heaven.

= NEWEST EVENING FROCkS y


From London comes the idea of the
newest evening frocks. They have
broken all records this year, for the
decollete gowns are practically with
out backs, so narrow is the line of the
bodice seen at each side. A fayorite
style is the deep V-opening, the point
of the V not finishing until it reaches
the waist. Another style is to have
the corsage cut U-shaped, displaying
the minimum of bodice and maximum
of back
With these gowns the decolletage in
front is proportionately low, and in
many cases not a vestiege of sleeve is
to be seen. AS gloves are very often
discarded, the result is quite startling.
One of the favorite decorations of
some of the new evening frocks is a
simple huge rose of plant sheeny vel
vet This is big enough to cover the
front of the corsage completely and
repeat the colorings of the gown.

Here in this room she used to sit
Where, by that window, stands her

Often her hands forgot to knit,
Intent upon the garden there.
An old kind face, that kept it's youth

The soul of Esther, heart of Ruth
Were hers, that helped her still to

The garden, whispering through its
flowers,
Spoke to her heart of many things
That helped her pass twilight

With old, divine rememberings.
There she would wander like a ghost,
Or stand just where that white rose
swings,
And listen, for an hour almost,
The dusk go by on nighthawk wings.

TRIPPER GRIEVANCE NOW

Agreement-Await Return

the street railway strike, friction has
arisen over Section Is Of the agree
meat, and street car men all over the
city are anxiously awaiting the return
of General Manager Brooks from a
vacation, when the matter can be put
squnrely up to him for adjustment
Division Supt. Hayes, OF the Sher-
man and Baker lines, Is the rock upon
which the tempest is centering just
at present The men declare that he
has openly violated section 10 rela-
tiv to extra trippers.
The agreement states specifically
that no car crew on q regular" run
shall be required to take more than
one "tripper" car out in seven days.
The ID. u. r. IL expected 20 Keep
enough extras" on the hired list, to
take care OF "trippers."
For instance, crews on duty from
noon until midnight are not expected
to report until the next noon. But II
called for ''tripper" service, they must
report at the barn from which the
ftripper" car goes out, at, perhaps,
4 o'clock In the morning. This breaks
up their sleep, and their hours OF
rest, as they must be back on duty
when their regular run starts.
On the Baker and Sherman lines.
several men have been penalized in
various ways because they refused 70
take out trippers when ordered to do
so by Hayes. There 10 much feeling
over the matter, on account OF the
principle involved. The men figure
that II they allow the company TO
break one provision of the agreement,
all of their recent trouble will be for
