rers of Col. Roosevelt. Judge
Ships address WIS not half bad
but the fellow Downey had not
talked Ave minutes until he toss
ed aside the CLOAK Of progressive
ness and stood in his true light
Q h~ypocrite, a traitor to the cause.
Pretending to preach Progressive
ness his real object YVES a personal
and malignant attack on Senator
Warren. During his scurrilous
remarks he admitted he was not a
success - county attorney Of
Albany country. The facts are,
he wasa most hmentable failure
in that Office. Malice aud hatred
Of Senator Warren shown out in
every syllable Of his address. But
the browning infamy Of reaso to
the cause Of Col. Roosevelt and
Progfessivsness came at the end
Of his scourge, when this political

THE BULL MOOSE MEETING
X. Richard Ship and Sheridan Downey
held forth and made Several Votes
fer Senator Warren

A fairly good crowd greeted the
two Bull Moosers, E. Richard
Ship and young Sheridan Dow
ney at Jensen hall Tuesday night.
Gus. Jensen, the unsuccessful
candidate for county commission
or on the Republican ticket, in
troduced the speakers.
The address of Judge Shipp,
which came first, was gentleman
ly and logical thruout, tho very
short. He INDUCED in no per-
sonalities and his courteous man
uer and evident ability won him
the favor of the entire audience.
Sheridan Downey was then in
troduced. He began here, as else
where, by saying that he was
bearing his own expenses and was
not in the employ of any person,
company or corporation. Then
he launched into a TRADE of abuse
of Senator Warren and kept it up
to the end of his address, disgust
ling the people and ending up by
advising everybody to vote for
the democratic members of the
Legislature. in order to defeat
Senator Warren. Not a word did
he have to say of the Progressive
principles; not a word concerning
Roosevelt-nothing but abuse of
Senator Warren.
The Snn has heard nothing but
expressions Of disgust from those
present concerning Dovney's
talk. The progressives are bit
terly disappointed and the repub-
.licans are amused. Nobody but
the democrats are pleased, for
they are the only ones who did
not come in for abuse and vitu-
peration. His speech had the
effect to make many votes for
Warren snd many voters, who
were leaning to the opposite side,
are now solidly lined up for Sen
|ator Warren. If young Downey
is doing everywhere as he did
here, he is the greatest Warren
booster iu the state.

A Chastity Fiasco

This is the penitentisry record.
of Governor Carey for the first
twentysone months Of his admini-
stration:
Forty criminals escaped.
One murder.
One suicide.
One lynching
Part Of the penitentiary plant
destroyed by convicts.
Over a score of desperate cri-
minals at large to commit further
crimes.
The citizens of Rawlins terroriz z
ed.
The cost of running the peni-
Tertiary increased twenty percent.
The State disgraced in the Press
of the country.
And last but not least, the life
OF a good citizen of RawliDs sacri-
feed.
What a CHASTITY tiasco?
The dispatches say: "Charles
Stressner, killed by the con victs,
was a highly respected citizen,
he leaves a wife and daughter
who are heartbroken."
The sorrow in this little house.
hold can justly be charged up to
Governor Carey.
If the recall law we're in force
In Wyoming Governor Carey
would never serve out his term,
Tor the people would vote him out
OF Office with a greater majority
than they voted him in.
The attempt is being made to
put the blame on the warden and
guards. They are to blame in q
measure, but the greater blame ID
on the Governor who compelled
them to adopt his fool policies.
There is but one excuse for tn,
Governor: he is in his dotage
He should resign.
Ii he were decent he woulc
resign.

Denver Monday and WIS met here
by his manager, j. r. Hewett,
who had come in from the Fitz-
gerald ditch camp Saturday to
meet him. The party went on
out to the ditch camp that after
noon. Mr.. Fitzgerald said he felt

ton and the way the work was
moving forward at the camp. He
says that if the weather holds
good he hopes to have a large

the winter sets in, thus insuring

TIE SARATOGA CEGsFIM
In such . pilapidatsd Condition that II
Causes Stranger" to wrtts Prutsst

Saratoga, Oct, 22nd, 1912

Saratoga, Oct, 22nd, 1912.
Editor Saratoga Sun:
Al q stranger in Saratoga I
took occasion to visit the ceme-
terry east of town yesterday after
noon and was surprised to notice
the condition of the fence sur
rounding same, which is entirely
torn down.
1 understand there is a n As
sociation in this vicinity, whose
duty it is to keep the cemetery in
a respectable condition and,
while speaking of the matter with
several citizens, I was induced to
write to your worthy paper, call
ing public attention to the con-
dition of the fence.
1t is bad enough for a citizen Of
your town to see the cemetery
fence in its present condition, but
for a stranger to notice It, it cssts
a bad reelection on the town and
the party or parties having csms-
terry under control should have
sufficient public spirit to remedy
the fault.
Stranger.
The Sun wishes to call the At
tention of the people of this town
to the above communication. It
simply shows how We gradually
fall into a rut and remain there,
getting a little deeper, day by day,
without knowing it Now that
our attention has been called to il
we can all see that the cemetery
fence is simply a disgrace to the
town and we think STRANGER
has dealt very gently, indeed,
with the subject. The owners oil
the ground are not to blame
They have offered to almost give
the cemetery grounds to the town
and We understand a committe OF
ooancilmen were appointed te

"Sherd" Didn't Show Up

The Sun acknowledges a very
pleasant call from E.. Richard
Ship, the Progressive candidate
for the Supreme bench. The
judge is An old newspaper man
and naturally made himself at
home in the Sun Office and was
welcome. But young "Sherd" fail
ed to show up. Sorry awfully
sorryl He might have been able
to explain the difference between
his statements that he il not be-
ing paid anything for his services,
that he is bearing his own ex-
penses,e etc, and the charge that
he is drawing as much as $500 at
a time from the banks on tele-
grams signed by Robert D. Carey.
Still, he might have been a little
reticent on the subject, for it
stands out in ugly contrast to his
assertions that he isnot under pay
which everybody knowss he is.
Perhaps, after all, the money
which is said to CONS from Mr.
Carey is only a "loan".

Mr.. and Mrs. E. L Wheeler and
their daughter, Miss Bessie
Wheeler, will leave shortly for
Oregon, where They expect to
make their future home. They
will go frst to The Dalles, where
they will visit for a time, bat ex-
pect to locate in Wasco County,
which borders on the Columbia
river and the county from which
come the famous Hood River
strawberries. In that famed re-
gion they will buy a farm and
settle down for the remainder of
their lives. They have been re.
sidents of Saratoga for many
years and have many friends and
well-wishers here, whose kind
wishes will follow them. Let ut
all hope that they will be prosper

and fifty thousand put on the
roads of this State.
Zone of the first reforms I will
undertake when the present con-
tract expires in April, will be to
put this penitentiary OF a decent
basis.
''These convicts should be used
in the improvement of highways.
They should be taught useful
trades" ETC., etc.
The Governor was given a free
hand in his scheme of reform.
What has he doneY
The convicts were put to work
improving the roads-in the vici-
nifty of the Governors q. Y. ranch.
The Governors horses we're
hired-the tools bought at the
store of the Governors nephew.
The history of the institution
since Governor Carey assumed
charge has been a story of crime
and shame. II has included muir
der, arsen, suicide, lynching. So
many criminals have escaped that
even the exact number is not
known. In all of the previous
years the escapes aggregated four.
In the two years of Carey rule
they have reached upward of fifty.
The lost of keeping the convicts
has increased seven cents per head
per day. With 200 convicts that
is $14!00 per day. For the rs
months of the Carey rule this
amounts to nearly $4,000. It's
up to Carey to explain who has
grated this ten thousand dollars.
And then when confronted with
his own criminal incompetency
the Governor plays the baby act
and whines:
81 am not responsible, it's you
bad citizens of Rawlins and John
Baird and Robert Forayth."
What do you think of that2
, 1912-10-24

look into the cmatter and to arrange
for it, purchase. Let us have a
report from that committee and.
we hope whom it does make a e
port that it will recommend that
the town at once buy the cemetery
and have the fence put into re-
spectacle shape. We are notata all
surprised, but We are inexpressibly
shocked, when We are told that
sheep have been driven right thru
the cemetery, over the graves of
our dead. But there was nothing
to keep them out. For shame!
Let ussbuy that grounds a tonce'
and put the fence in decent shape.

Two Years OF Grim
inal Incompctency

Two years ago in his campaign
of villi6cation, Governor Carey

Alarming Insanity Statistics.

The statistics Of insanity in this
State are enough to scare anybody.
The new Commissioner of Charities and
Corrections appears to be quite will
ing to let the scare go as far as pos
sible. Mr.. Byers, who now holds the
office, has been putting forth a state
ment which is calculated to strike
terror far and wide. This is the way
the hea"'ine read, spread over big
type and circulated al. Sver the State:
Insanity is Increasing.-Five Hundred
Each Year Become Demented in New
Jersey Alone.-11,340 Wards Being
Cared for by State.-Applications for
lat Predetermined Children Have
Been Received. 1t seems dreadful,
and it is evident that the gentleman
in charge of the bureau means to
make the statement as bad as posi-
BILE, but in order to avert a panic it
may be remarked that figures may be
made to lie just as easily as some
other things, and too much credence
should not be given to officials who get
over-anxious for extra appropriations
and want to exalt their Offices. There
will be always as many wards OF the
State" as the State will provide for,
in the way of comfortable accommoda.
tons. This is especially true of the
insane. If the facilities were greater
and the conveniences more refined.
there would be ten times eleven thou
sand maintained at the State expense
There is no objection to this form Of
charity, only it should not be counted
as showing a tendency toward degen
eracy and defective conditions in the
State.

TAN SHOES ALL THE VOGUE
Edict of Fashion That ~Deslgnates This
Pretty Color Will Be Welcomed
Buckles or Ribbons.

Tan shoes are again in fashion.
That light putty color which was SO
much in fashion in France last winter
and which one feared would become
fashionable here is fortunately mis-
sing. All the Russian tans are used
in pumps, in OXfords, and in two
eyelet ties. Buckles still take pre-
cedence over ribbons, except in the
Oxfords and on pumps.
True, a wide number Of women pre-
fer the more or less huge buckle on
their pumps, but you will notice that
the w~elldressed woman who is smart
ly turned out in every detail will wear
the plain pump, with its fiat bow of
corded ribbon, such as the men wear,
no matter what its heel.
Buckles rightly belong to slippers,
but there is no breach of good taste
in choosing one of kid, of gunmetal,
or of %japanned metal on a pump of
dull kid. If one wears patent-leather
slippers, with Spanish heels, then the
buckle may be of silver, of gilt, or OF
cut steel, but it is to be hoped that
American women will go back to their
original method and keep this bril-
liant footwear off the streets in the
morning hours.

Fish With False Teeth.

Cap Wilson, the inventor Of as many
different kinds of spoons as there are
fish that will take them, has discov-
cred a new lure for catfish. He was
on an outing among the sloughs of the
Sacramento river, when one Of his
companions found him on the deck Of
his launch, roaring loudly.
whats the matter?" he inquired.
Matter? Huh! There's a $40 cat
fish down under this boat, an I'm
a-goin' to get him If I have to seine
him out"
How do you figure a catfish worth
1902"
This way: I was standin' right here
a-cleanin' my new set Of false teeth,
when he come up to the top, looked at
me an opened his mouth. l grabbed
for the boathook to gaff him an
dropped the teeth. Plump they went,
right square into his mouth. Now
he's down there crackin' crabs with
my teeth, an I got to "a clam chow
der outen a salmon spoon."-Saturday
Evening Post.

THREE CURED OF ECZEMA

when a child, I suffered eight
years with eczema. l could not sleep
at night, and had sores all over my
chest. We had doctors and none could
do any good, until my mother saw the
advertisement Of the Cuticura Rem
edies in the paper. We used the
Cuticura. Soap, Ointment and Resell
vent, and they cured me Of eczema.
I also used them on my five children.
Two Of them had eczema very badly.
When my children had eczema, l was
not worried at all, as I knew the Cuti-
cura Remedies would do their work.
They had sores all over their heads,
their hair would fall out, and they
would scratch all night and day. They
had it on their heads, face, and in
back Of the ears so that l thought
their ears would drop off. l washed
their heads and bodies with Cuticura
Soap and they are as clean as the
driven snow.
"Cuticura Soap and Ointment also
cured my children Of ringworm.
would not be without the Cuticura
Remedies. They are wonderful"
(Signed) Mrs. Violet Cole, 26 S.
Redfield ST., Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 29,
1910. Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold everywhere, a sam
pie Of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. L, Boston.

Suits, the Remedy.

The danger to foot-passengers by
trolley car driving ceased a long time
ago, the injuries at present occupying
the courts being almost entirely con-
fined to cases where those who use
the car are hurt. This is partly duo
to the avoidance of the peril by those
using the streets, who have learned to
observe the tracks. The trolley a
follows n straight line. A larger
part of the public safety is due to the
fact that an accident" has made the
trolley company pay heavy damages.
The police and general laws having
failed to stop the killing by automo-
biles-whose stealthy approach and d.
rection can never be gauged-it is pos
sible that a system of suits under the
damage act may be more successful.
1t seems that money counts more for
safety than threat of criminal prosecu-
ton. 1t is evident that something
must be done, to protect the people
who use the streets.

Observation-Disclosures is expressed
by workingmen throughout the city
and county we what they claim is a
direct violation of the state law relat-
ing to the hours of labor of employees
of the state and county. Work being
done under the supervision of the
State House Commission, of which
Gov. Wilson is chairman, and under
the direction of the Board of Freehold
ers, for which Newton A. X. Bugbee
is the contractor, is involved. The City
Commission is also a party to the VIC
lation in so far as the commissioners
are responsible with the state for the
building of the retaining wall at the
State House Park. The work being
done by the state is the retaining wall
that is to protect the State House
Park, and for which he Whiting Turn
er Construction Company, of Balti-
more, is the contractor. On this job
men work nine hours a day. The coun-
ty work which it is claimed, is done
in violation of the law is the South
Warren Street bridge, IN which men
work ten hours a day. 1t is stated by
the men interested that n of the
first laws signed by Governor Wilson
was Chapter 243 of the session of 1911,
entitled IAN act to regulate the hours
of labor of mechanics, workmen and
other laborers employed in the cor
struction or repair of public works of
the state of New Jersey, o of any
county, city. township or other NUM-

MOST JOYOUS MOMENT
OF the Trio, Probably Representative
Redfield Had the Best occa-
sion to Smile.

The talk In one Of the cloak rooms
Of congress turned to the thought Of
the happiest moments In ones life.
Senator Bailey said his anne the day
he wore his first pair Of trousers. And
Paul Rowland Of Ohio declared his
big moment Of JOY was when he was
permitted once to drive a chariot in
3 pony and dog show parade.
Representative Redfeld, who is a
wise chap, even If he does hail from
Brooklyn, said it was when he was
going to school and trying to master
long division. Three or four aisles
over from where he sat a boy yawned.
1t was not an ordinary yawn, but one
of such genuine expression Of feeling
toward things In general that it at
tracted Redfield's attention. He was
fortunate In having a paper wad right
at hand, ready for any emergency,
and he aimed this at the boys caver-
nous mouth. The wad went right
square into the goal and-well, Fourth
of July fireworks are tame to the
stunts that boy did in the next few
minutes.
He says he almost smiled once or
shipboard when the vessel gave E
lurch and threw a platter full o.
beefstead, gracy and all, over The
o%pen-faced shirt front Of a pompoui
passenger across the table.

More Privacy Needed.

PROFESSIONALLY there is need of
more privacy and less interruption
of the proceedings in the House of AS
sembly, but it is doubtful if the deslr-
ed results will be secured by tinkering
with the present arrangement of the
chamber. On numerous occasions
Speakers have shown that order can
be maintained and business promptly
dispatched with p~artitioning off the
members from those who are quite as
much interested in the proceedings as
are the lawmakers. The easiest and
cheapest way to secure to the Assem-
blymen the privacy they desire, and
which they should have, will be to
abolish about three-fourths of the use
less positions that have been created
during the last thirty or forty years IN
order to reward political workers n
relatives. That will not only save the
expense of making alterations, but will
materially reduce the cost of the an
nual sessions. There are now no more
members than there were half a cen
tury ago; the volumes of the session
laws are not as large as when private
legislation was enacted, and the work
has not materially increased. Much
Of the disorder and disturbance is ere
ated by the little army of clerks, pages,
~doorkeepers, gallerykeepers and other
~sinecurists who have little to occupy
their time, and they can be kept under
restraint-if they must be continued
by a presiding officer with backbone.
