SOME STRAIGHT TALK.

Former Judge Adrian Lyon gave a
talk straight from the shoulder at
the meeting of the Roosevelt Club
Tuesday night. His words were we'll
worth hearing. Reading them is the
next best thing, and anyone who did
not take the trouble to read a re-
port of the meeting as published In
yesterdays EVENING NEWS should
do so without delay.
Judge Lyon got right down on the
ground floor and spoke the truth in
a manner to make the honest citizen
rejoice. The hearty applause which
greeted his remarks showed that
those present were with him. The
great trouble with the Republican
party for several years past has been
the lack Of a nan with backbone
enough to speak out the facts that
everyone has known but few have
dared to mention above a whisper.
The EVENING NEWS has re-
peatedly declared that a new leader
ship would be necessary for the Re-
publican party before 1t could claim
success In this county. While there
has been a certain weakened op-
position to the bossism of Theodore
Strong, the men leading this oppo-
sition, whose names everyone knows,
have done a great deal Of talking
prior to elections and during the
months when politics were quiet, but
as soon as the time came for fixing
up a STATE and waging wal against
the boss when 1t would be most eff
f~ective, these so-called leaders have
scurried about to find a soft berth
for themselves and, through agree
ments and deals, made their own po-
sition secure, then fell In with the
boss's program. Those who were
ready t carry on the fight have
been left high and dry.
1t looks, however, as if a real fight
Is on now. Even though 1t requires
the organization Of a third party to
do this the result will be the same II
the Republican party, under such
a leader as "Dory" Strong, and
would-be leaders as Carson and 9TH

ers, Is utterly routed and passes in
to history,
The rank and file of the Republi-
cans of Middlesex have been thor
oughly disguised with the tactics
that have been carried for years past
and welcome a chance to come out
into the open and battle for political
freedom, as Judge Lyon aptly puts
it. They are tired of deals and COM
promises whereby the bosses take
care of themselves and their bench
men and the people get nothing.
With a complete third party ticket
for county and state offices in Mid
dlesex there is no doubt that hun
dreds of voters will welcome the op-
portunity to break away from the
old organizations and show the
would-be bosses what they can do.
Judge Lyon deserves credit for the
fearless and Independent stand he
has taken. He has shown himself in
this instance to be a man Of back
bone, capable of putting up to the
voters the exact condition of affairs.
No doubt those who are hit the
hardest by the judges remarks will
quail under the onslaught, but the
people know that the Judge has
spoken the truth and he cannot
help but stand higher in their esti-
nation as a result.
The followers of the Bull Moose
have every reason to feel encour-
aged over the situation as it stands
today. The people. as a whole, will
welcome the opportunity to smite
the bosses and wreck the machines
that have dominated public affairs
SO long. Let the leaders in the third
party movement carry forward the
work with as much earnestness as
Judge Lyon displayed in his speech
Tuesday night. There Is no telling
what n determined set of men can do
when they set out with a definite
purpose in view.

A SYMPOSIUM OF SALADS.

A good meal 10 a good salad and
bread and butter, and most people will
be well satisfied with such food.
One may use what she has at hand,
making simple or complex combina-
lions. The nice thing about a salad
Is, 1t is SO easy to put together. A
banana or two with a few lettuce
leaves and a tablespoonful Of nuts, a
sprinkling Of salad dressing, and one
has a most satisfying salad.
It is always wise to keep a jar OF
good salad dressing in the ice chest to
call upon at all times. The French
dressing Of Oil and vinegar is liked by
almost everybody and is still easier to
prepare than the cooked or mayon-
naise dressings.
Melon saiad.-Take a fine melon
Ia musk melon, scoop out the fruit
in smooth tablespoonfuls. Place in a
salad bowl and sprinkle with three
times as much oil as vinegar, a table
spoonful Of powdered sugar, a shake
Of salt and paprika. Place on ice and
thoroughly chill.
Waldorf saiad.-Mix together equal
parts Of celery and tart apple cut IN
uniform d~iceshaped pieces, half as
much, by measure, OF nuts (either
hickory or walnuts), and pour over
any desired salad dressing.
Dale saIad.-To one pint CT cooked
peas add a pint Of celery out In small
pieces, a. cup Of walnut meats and one
cup Of orange. Serve with mayor
naise dressing.
Crab eaIad-One-half pint Of crab
meat, two punches Of celery, two hard
cooked eggs minced very fine, one to-
mato cut In slices, laid in a border OF
lettuce with the crab mixture in the
center. Garnish with capers and
serve with French dressing.

New Ideas In Marking Linen.

Fashion In marking linen changes to
some degree every season, SO that let
ters from a half inch to foul or i've
inches long are permissible. A safe
rule for the conservative ~needlewom-
an to follow is: For tablecloths, let
ters two inches long.
For napkins, letters three-Quarters
of an inch long.
Sheets, two inches long.
Other articles are marked according
to the state of the embroidery. But
the best method Of marking linen ts
a problem which presents itself very
often.
There are many ways to choose be-
sides the plain embroidered initial
stamped either in script or block type.
Perhaps the most attractive method Of
working large initials Is to en-
broider over fine net, cutting away
the linen underneath, SO that when
finished 1t will give a transparent eff
feet that is unusual and beautiful.
The work is not difficult, and can
be done rapidly by one who has any
experience in needlecraft.

SHIFTING POSTAL WORK.

In his efforts to make the latest
postal. law which closes all the post
offices on Sunday, as easy as posi-
BILE, Postmaster General Hitchcock
has announced that certain classes
of mail will be available on Sunday.
He declares hat such mail will be
sorted out on the railway mail trains
in order to simplify the work Of dis
tribution in the post offices on Sun
day.
In explaining the reason for en-
acting the law as it was passed, 1t
was declared that 1t was to give the
post office employees a day Of rest on
Sunday and would ease up on their
work as much as possible.
1t will be noticed, however, that
in the post offices it is piling up the
work on the man who works in the
railway mail car. Here is a govern
ment employee with whom the people
at large are but little acquainted.
AS they stand on a station and see
a mail train pass they catch a
| glimpse Of a postal clerk in the a
door ready to throw the pouch out
| and to take on a new one. This is
about all the people know Of the
work inIthe mail car. AS a matter
Of fact, these men are among the
hardest worked and most imposed
upon employees of the United States
government. They work under great
pressure for many hours at a time
at comparatively small wages. Men
are frequently put in positions
above them who know little of their
duties and meet all kinds of hard
ships entirely inconsistent with the
work to be performed.
When protests are made the men
are liable to be discharged. Con-
gress recently prohibited employees
from appealing to any congressman
for relief. Thus these men have be-
come literal slaves of the govern
ment, being denied even the privi-
lege of appealing to their representa-
| tives.
When 1t Is desired to ease up on
any other department in the postal
service the work is pushed on rail
way mail clerks because, not coming
in contact with the public, it is pos
sible to impose on them more with
out arousing the Indignation of the
people.
The government civil service is
painted In glowing words in the ad-
vertisement sent out for young men
to take the examinations, but there
is little encouragement for a man
after he is once in the clutches Of
the government and after 1t is too
late to secure a position elsewhere.
The only fair thing the government
can do is to pass a civil service PEN
sion bill so that these men who de-
vote their lives to government work
at wages that barely afford a living
will be at least assured of some in
come when they have become too
old to perform duties they have
faithfully performed 80 long.
