THE same great democrat insured
the perpetuity of liberty, when he
wrote the bill of rights.
Seeking Il Leader.
THE republican contest is only a
battle between the great interests.
1t is a contest of syndicates. The
truth is at last manifest, and democ-
racy will triumph.
The situation is epochal. The
contest will not be a summer day ex-
cursion. 1t will not be won in a sin
gle campaign.
Special privilege is entrenched. Its
emissaries fill high places. Its re-
sources are incalculable. Its allies
are legion. 1t fights to retain the
right to plunder the greatest nation on
earth.
THE prize is enormous. 1t will not
be yielded without the most desperate
resistance.
Fronting such a contest, we are
about to select a leader to whom we
must entrust the party and the ma
tional honor.
Let me tell you OF such a leader.
He was born in the good old demo-
cratic state of Kentucky. There his
eyes first opened to behold the love-
light shining in the face of a demo-
cratic mother. Mingled with the
notes of her lullaby, the myriad
sounds of farm life were borne to his
baby ears.
about the next thing he heard was
his democratic father reading a
democratic platform. He has been
a democrat ever since
This man sympathiZes with the
common people. He recognizes the
nobility of labor. His feet have felt
the sharp stones of adversely. He
loves the common people because he
is of them. He has seen them labor
at their tasks and he has bent his
own back in toll. He looks his fell
low men in the eye from his own lev
ell You need not strain your neck to
see him. He has never ceased to love
the common man. He has never been
ashamed of his early poverty"

TO DISCUSS
SEX HYGIENE

The forces for and against the
teaching of sex hygiene in Orange
schools are lining up for a skirmish
tonight which may precipitate the
pitched battle looked for at the meet
ing of the Board of Education next
Thursday.
1t is expected that the teachers COM
mittee of the Board of Education will
report favorably on the continuation
of this study. The opponents of this
unnecessary education" are still con-
fident, however, that they will win out
in the long run
Petitions are in circulation setting
forth the reason why the subject of
sex hygiene should be discontinued.
DR. Herman G. Cassini, member of
the Orange educational body, declared
today. that the petitions are being
signed by hundreds of parents who do
not approve of giving plain informa-
ton to immature children" DIR. Cas-
SIM led the fight against the teaching
of the subject.
The entire board membership has
been invited to the committee session
tonight. The real fight on the report
will be next Tuesday night, when the
committee report favoring continuance
of the study will be submitted to the
board for acceptance or rejection.
"We will likely be beaten at the first
session of the board" said one of the
commissioners opposed to the instrue-
tion, ''but l think in short time the
public will back up our objections"
The Circolo d. Emancipazione Pro-
letaria, of 81 Cone street, Orange, has
adopted resolutions favoring the sex
hygiene instruction and calling upon
the Board of Education to enforce 1t
regardless of the various protests ad
vanced."

Baumann May Be
Named for Board

1t Is extremely likely that C. Valen-
tine Baumann will be appointed police
commissioner to succeed Commissioner
Bonnet, who sent his resignation to
Mayor Haussling last week.
Although a number of other names
have been mentioned for the position,
among them that of Albert j. HOLE,
it is believed now that Mr.. Baumann
is in the lead of the race.
Mr.. Baumann ran for sheriff on the
Republican ticket last fall and was
defeated by Sheriff Monahan He is
well known in official circles in New
ark and has served as member of the
Board of Works. In the City Hall 1t
is said the appointment of Baumann
would be a popular one.

DON'T STINT
CANAL CASH.

Chief Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd
this afternoon submitted the following
report to the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners, urging that the
ship caanl plan be pushed and not
limited to the expenditure of but
s1,O00,O00.
ITO the Board of Street and Water
Commissioners of the city of New
ark N. j:
"Gentlemen-Referr to the dock
and ship canal project, 1 beg to advise
the board that | have practically be-
come convinced that this proposed pub
lie Improvement ip the interest of the
best development for the city's future
growth should be considered on a wider
scope than limited to the use of $1,OOO,-
900 and attempting to get something in
the way of dock facilities in addition
to the land by the expenditure of that
sum of money.
"The studies so far made by the
different commissions have been too
closely restricted by the limitation
placed upon the development proposed
on account of the fact that only one
million dollars was available. | have
not, however, changed my opinion in
regard to the advisability of the city's
controlling the nature of the develop
ment that should take place on the
meadows, and | would, therefore, rec
ommend to the board that it seem to
me to be advisable for it to now take
some definite action which would show
to the public that it does not intend
to use any part of the present available
funds to construct the proposed ship
canal. but that it is the judgment of
the board that the acquisition by the
city of the land included in the canal
ozne so-called should continue, and
that the city Should become the owner
of this entire Sc ion, and that its fu-
ture development should be given fur
ther consideration and study before
any monesA be expended upon the
actual construction work.
This would place the cit yin a po-
sition where ii could at least control
what is to be done with this so far un-
used meadow land, and would also give
assurance to those who have formerly
objected to the ship canal project that
no portion of the. present available
funds would be expended on any such
construction until further expert advice
had been obtained and that project be
given further study and investigation
along broader lines than has heretofore
been attempted, Respectfully sub
mitted.
