AFTER MUCH noise and buster Oh the
part of his opponent, President William
III. Taft has been nominated for another
term In the Office of chief executive of the
United States. The term opponent" is
used because there really was but one
man against the President and he was
Theodore Roosevelt, the man who
manipulated a convention so that Mr.
Taft would be the nominee and then be-
came angered because he could not manip-
ulate and control the President So
much has been said on this subject that 1t
Is not necessary for country weekly to
enlarge on 1t. There has been an
exhibition of "rule or ruin," that ha
not only been distasteful to the people of
this country but has subjected us to the
sneers and ridicule of the residents of
foreign lands. For the first time In our
nations history the President has been
compelled to take the stump in self-de-
Tense against the attacks of one who
seems to think he is the only real article
of virtue In the land. He has been set
aside, but with his unparalleled egotism
he seems to think he Is still sit" and Is
willing to 60 before the people as an in
dependent candidate, even If he does not
get single electoral vote. But noise,
bluster and all that sort of thing have had
their day. There were many men who
stood steadfastly by Roosevelt, but when
they were called upon to bolt and join a
third party declined to do so. The
nomination of President Taft is a just
acknowledgment of his admirable adj
ministration. The people will ratify this
nomination at the polls.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.
Charles Frederick Nirdlinger's adoption
of Jose Echegaray's "El Gran Galeoto" is
play of extreme power and we'll calcu-
lated to show to splendid advantage
Charles Balsar and Marion Barney in the
leading roles.
During the week of July Ist the Or
pheum Players will present this masterful
drama which served to star for several
seasons William Faversham and Julie
Opp and which also set the press and
theatre-going public talking of its merit
from coast to coast. Just one instance
being the New York Times, which spoke
of 1.-THE World and his Wife" as follows:
''Fine acting plays are rare enough to be
welcome at any time at such a period
when plays for the most part are written
to meet the requirements of personality,
or at best the limited resources of two or
three people of doubtful talent. A work
which puts whole company on its mettle
is something of novelty.
"Such play was FL Gran Galeoto' of
Jose Echegaray, acted here in Carnegie
Hall some ten years ago, and such play
it remains in The World and his Wife,
under which title Charles Frederic Nird-
linger has adopted it to the requirements
of the modern English-speaking stage. -
Built on a powerful premise-the in
evitable result of calumnious gossip-the
play moves steadily to its tragic outcome.
And that, by the way, is none the less
tragic because, when all the possible evil
of malignant tongues has been accom-
plished, two of the principals are thrown
into each others arms
Next week Philadelphia theatre-goer
have ample reason to rejoice in welcoming
back their favorits, Charles Balsar, to the
Orpheum Company, William Ingersoll
going on his vacation which will continue
until September.
Mr.. Balsar is one of the most sought
after and popular actors of the present
day, and while this verdict is unanimous
from coast to coast, no city, perhaps, is
more demonstrative in their fond regard
for him than Philadelphia. Manager
Laferty has given him an excellent play
and part for his reception week as don
Ernesto, +" in Charles Frederic Nirdlinger's
adoption from the Spanish, ''The World
and his Wife"

THERE is q statement that certain prop
erty owners in Mount Holly are going to
pay the cost of oiling the road ON sections
Of streets in which they are interested
These streets are not county roads so that
the action Is all right, but there is an In
quiry which arises here affecting roads
which are county charges. In many
sections the highways are In deplorable
condition. Portions of the road between
MountHollY and Burlington are in very
bad shape That between Mount Holly and
Hainesport needs attention badly until
one gets near the Chester line, then 1t is in
better shape. This Is noticeable In all
roads that are close to Chester. 1t is per-
fectly natural that the county road super
intendent should believe that charity be-
gins at home" and think that he is justi-
fed In keeping the roads In that section
in admirable shape, but is there any reason
why all the money should go in one
placer Take the road from Moorestown
to Mount Laurel into consideration. 1t
has been In existence for years and until
the present time 1t has had nothing done
to 1t and has been disgrace to the county.
A contract has been or is about to be
awarded to resurface a portion of the
road. 1t Is said the appropriation for re-
pairing roads has already been exhausted.
This should be looked into. There was
committee appointed to adyise with the
county supervisor In the expenditure of
this sum. Has it done so. or has the sup
ervisor been given free rein In the entire
WI no
party who contracted to furnish broken
stone for repairs, agreed to pay the freight
to certain points II that is SO why was
Freebooter Hart compelled to give his
personal check for freight before the rail-
road company would release the stone
Was the station to which the stone was
consigned outside of the +. o. b. arrange
mentf There are several points In con-
nectiou with the stone road question
which might be looked into with possible
great advantage to the county. 1t would
not be bad idea to have an itemized
statement showing where the money has
been spent during the past five years, so
that the taxpayers may know just how
equitable the distribution has been. An
other point while on this subject is that
there Ia report that application is to be
made for new road that will run through
a certain section of Chester township In
the neighborhood, close to, If not right past,
the farm of the supervisor. Nobody will
raise any objection to this If the road is
needed more badly than in any other
sections, but we recall the point raised
more than once and that is that as soon as
the county Is In position to build a new
road 1t should be the one giving the large
manufacturing industry at Roebling a.
chance to get In touch with outside
country. Very patiently the people OF
Florence have been waiting for this actual
necessity and very frequently have they
been given the cold shoulder. 1t would
seem as IL the time to give them re-
cognition was pretty nearly due.
