OFF,4,000S STRONG,
To COLLEGE POINT
It's Mark A. Sulliyan's Busy
Day Mayor Wittpenn Con-
spicnOusly Absent.
FESTIVE SPIRIT STRONGLY
MIXED UP WITH POLITICS
Association May Decide to
Throw Its Strength Solid
ly on Shrieyalty.

JERSEY CITY. Sept, 1.-THE Robert
Davis Association, of Hudson county,
took about 1000 Democrats today, ac-
cording to estimates. TO College Point,
Long Island sound, ON the annual out
ing of the organization. There is more
politics to the square inch in that
part of Long Island today than there
are leaves on the trees, With a warm
primary fight for the nomination for
mayor OF Jersey City and another con-
test for the shrievalty there is plenty
of food for speculation. lots of room for
Matching out more plans and numer-
GUS chances to lay a bet If anybody
feels that way and wants to back any
body that the Davis Association doesn't
favor.
The Davis men are for the nomination
of Mark A. Sullivan for the mayoralty
and are not slow in making their pref
erence known. Mr.. Sullivan himself
went on the outing today, but Mayor
Otto Wittpenn, who used to be the
"white-haired boy of the Davis Asso-
citation, was conspicuous by his abb
sence.
other Omcials Present.
Sheriff Kelly, City Clerk Michael l..
Pagan, County Chairman James Hen
nessey. Patrick r. Griffin and Register
John ]. Mcmahon, the members of the
big Five" were there, to be sure, and
Congressman Eugene F.. Kinkead, who
aspires to. the Democratic leadership
in New Jersey, was the busiest mortal
at the Point. Mr.. Kinkead has taken
a live interest in the outing. and has
been very active in his efforts to make
it a pronounced success.
When Robert Davis was alive his
wish that the turnout should be a vast
one was all that was required to make
1t so. Last yea there We're 5000 on the
Davis excursion.
The organization may decide to throw
its strength solidly today to some one
of the candidates for sheriff of Hud-
son. The shrievalty situation Is still
somewhat mixed and giving the leaders
some concern.
The parade that preceded the outing
passed the City Hall at 10 o'clock, but
Mayor Wittpenn, as has been his rus
tom, was not there to review 1t.
Mortimer ]. Gleeson was colonel Of
the parade. The other officers were:

Mr.. Peace was everlastingly right
in his statement before the Chamber
OF Commerce Monday night as to the
general efficacy of the paint brush in
improving the appearance OF town.
There is probably nothing else in all
the world that for the same cost will
accomplish as much in the direction
indicated as a generous application
Of the paint brush. And Mr.. Peace
was also correct in his further state
ment that a stranger, in looking
over Henderson, is liable to get the
idea that paint and paint brushes,
which in most cities and towns are
found to be necessary and reasona-
bly, cheap commodities, must un-
dOubtedly be both very dear and
very scarce articles hereabouts, il
one might Judge of the situation
from the only too plainly apparent
need OF them on almost all hands.
Following the suggestion OF the
same speaker, who meant all that
he said for the good of our city, sup
pose that a general painting cam
paign be instituted at once. What
a wonderful transformation in the
appearance OF things it would soon
bring about. A few progressive citi-
Eens, it is a pleasure to note, have
already set the pace

Everybody in Henderson, both
great and small, high and low, rich
and poor, should read the article on
the front page Of this paper, by
flowers Friend" and give it care
full consideration. The gifted writer
is right in after a great and growing
evil in this community, and one that
is very badly in need OF a swift and
effective remedy. And we most
heartily concur with the writer in the
opinion that strong and business
like organization of the retail gro
cerymen is the one and the only prac-
teal means by which this evil can be
successfully combated. One great
trout b most people in this day
and till. - that they have been hu-
mored and petted until too many OF
them are like spoiled children, and it
is therefore not an easy matter for
them to decide just when they are
stepping beyond the bounds of reason
in their demands upon the retail
merchants. We do not like to think
that any of them are of such dis
position that they would not care.
But who, may we venture to ask, is
to blame for this feature OF the situa-
ton? Would it not be better for all
concerned il the retail merchants,
who suffer most as a result of the
present system, could get together
and agree to quit this humoring and
petting, this spelling OF their custom
ers, and hereafter do business on a
business basis? 1t has already gone
so far as to eat up most of the legiti-
mate profits of the retail business
derived from the city trade. Any
ordinarily good housekeeper certain
ly should be able, by taking just a
little time in the early forenoon to
make little inventory of supplies on
hand as we'll as little list of those
needed from the store, to decide what

A little business and executive ability
in the management of household az

pity for any household if the one who

Every farmer boy in Vance county
should read the communication from
Mr.. t. B. Parker, director of BOYS
Corn Clubs, published elsewhere in
these columns. 1t is surprising, as
we'll as disappointing, to note from
Mr.. Parker's statement that this
county is not yet represented in this
contest. The highest yield yet pro-
duced in the State on one acre WAS
226x bushels by Mr.. J. ]. Bats, of
Wake county, last year. The soil OF
Wake county is no better than the
soil OF Vance and there are Just as
good farmer boys in this county as
there are in any other. 1t ought to
have at least fifty farmer boys in the
contest. About 1000 is offered in
the State as corn prizes and it is not
too late yet to enter and win q prize.
Mr.. Parker will be pleased to send
blanks to any boy who wishes to en-
ter the contest. Do not write to him
60 enter your name, but ask for a
blank to fill out, as only those who
nave signed applications in his Office
will be considered members of the
corn club. Mr.. Parker will send with
the application blank a Boys Corn
Club button. There are boys in this
county who should be members OF
this club. Why not send in their
names at once and see if they can't
win some of this prize money.
