DEMOCRATS OF
METUCHEN ACT
Endorse Ticket and Expect
to Carry Borough.
tpsctdI TO the FVENING NEWS.

Metuchen, Aug, 23:-Local Dem
ocrats held a rousing meeting in
Robins Hall last night. Wilson and
Marshall were endorsed as the first
order of business. The meeting then
endorsed William T. McAdoo for an
other term as borough assessor. AS
he is decidedly popular with all par
ties he will probably have no OPP
position.
Other endorsements were Charles
Tausig for tax collector to succeed
Jesse Perry, and Eben H. Veen and
Charles Veghte for councilmen. 1t
was agreed that Congressman Scully
would carry the borough safely in
spite of his Bull Moose opponent
here. There was much Hughes SEN
timent for United States senator, al
though it developed that James
Smith, Jr., has some friends here.

He Must Make Himself q

If he can succeed in seeing him

a student of money. The first thing
he must do is to study in order the
following subjects:
l. Appropriation.
>. Equipment of himself as
worker.
3: The daily leisure he enjoys
BY appropriation is meant this.
If he is a family man. certain fixed
items OF expense must be met reg
ularly. He should sit down and
make out an accurate list of these.
He should study this list until he
is positive that il is right, that it
represents only those things that
are necessary 20 himself and to his
family. one Of three results win be
before him. CO The appropriation
is beyond the amount he earns, (2)
or it is equal to 1t. leaving no mar
sin. 60 or 1t is below it and ac-
tually does leave him a margin.
II he finds that he is living be-
yond his income or even within it,
his duty is to begin again and re-
apportion his expenses so as to
leave a margin, for the future is
only secure when a margin exists.
It may be ever so small, but it pos
lively must exist. or he is skating
on ice so thin that he is in CON
slant danger Of breaking through
and drowning himself and his loved
ones.
There is required of him moth
ing less than actual courage brav-
cry Of the highest kind, to give up
things he has perhaps been accus-
toned to. and to establish the mar
gin he must have. but if he is Sc
rious and manly he Will do il. His
position now is this: He earns
definite amount. Every time the
contests of the pay envelope is dis
tributed there Is something left for
the savings bank, or for life insur-
ance or for both.

Difficulty of Living Down
Inherited Impulses.

1t is a reversion to the original
mode of living when our ancestors
roamed through the forests and
dwelt in tents huts and caves. 1t
is difficult to live down the i'm
pulses that have descended to us
from the habits of centuries ago.
The original savage keeps creep
ing out in us. We are constantly
on the verge of becoming wild men
of the woods again.
A few centuries of civilization
have hard work battling against
the hundreds of thousands of years
that our race lived through before
it struck civilization.
1t takes old momentum long
time to WEIR out. 1t requires con-
slant struggle to keep from drop
ping back into the hole that man
kind has crawled out of and that 1t
is homesick to fall back into again.
1t is the same with man as with
brute beasts. I met on the cars the
other day man who had along
with him a Siberian dog. The ami
NAL was gentle and could be safely
played with by little child. but"
said the gentleman, there are spots
of wolf in him and were I to let
him run wild in the woods for six
months all the savageness belong
ing TO his ancestry would break out
in him, and he would have to be
shot or Gagged"
In man or beast civilization ls
not permanent quality 1t is
against nature and becomes extinct
unless constantly renewed. we are
kept respectable by restraints.

Human Beings Held in Place
Like Bricks in a Wall.

Like bricks in a wall. we are
held in position in part by the hu.
man bricks that we are wedged in
between. 1t is unpleasant to fall
below the expectations that others
have concerning us. and those to
whom we are total strangers have
no expectations regarding us one
way or the other
They will not be surprised. there
fore, If we behave well, nor any
more will they be surprised If We
behave badly. People who are good
Christians when living among
Christians easily turn reprobates
when let loose among people of the
other kind.
It is true TO creed, that "once q
saint, always saint" but Ii does
not always seem quite true to fact.
Clamp a steel spring and 1t win
retain its enforced shape SO long as
the clamp is on, but remove the
clamp and it will fly back to the
form that it was in originally; even
after thousand years it will fly
back.
There is great deal of efficacy,
therefore, in clamps. Going away
from home and from usual sur
roundings and people is, therefore.
dangerous, for it means removing
some of the clamps.
Much of what we commonly sup
pose to be our virtue is simply the
unnatural and enforced shape in
which we are held by external
pressure. There has recently been

clerk who spends all of his salary
and the clerk who saves part of

between the owner of a business
and the man out of a job
And Andrew Carnegie, whose
success. in accommodating money is
known to everybody, thus speaks
of the losses that the improvident
man must suffer:
The failure of the man who does
not save his money is due not only
to the fact that he has no money
with which to take advantage Of
the opportunities that come in the
way of every man, but also, and
particularly to the fact that such
man is not able or fit to avail
himself of these opportunities The

tn HIS is the time of the year
when good many people
are leaving home, or, it had

town where one sleeps, where one
takes his meals and where one
keeps his trunks preparatory to
going into the country or going
