Colossal Nerve Of Office Boy Secured
Desired Permission From Hls
Dazed Boss.

The office boy wanted a new er-
cuse. He had buried countless
grandmothers, brothers, sisters,
aunts and cousins, but he felt an en-
thusiasm for the baseball game that
day which had to be gratifed by hook
or crook.
Suddenly an idea struck him. Ap-
preaching the easy boss with an air
of familiarity, which had been nur-
tured by long usage, he asked;
"May | leave at noon today, sirY'
''Why, my boy"
"There is a fancy fair at oul

URGES ALL DEMOCRATS
TO TURN OUT AND VOTE
SENATOR DAhItlSESUtSClHD
Chairman Of Publicity Bureau Of
Democrats National Cam
paiEn Committee Makes
Appeal 10 Voters

The Commercial is in receipt
of a letter from Hon. Josephus
Daniels. chairman Of the publi-
city bureau Of the Democratic
national campaign committee, in
which he urges all Democrats to
90 to the polls on election day
and cast their ballots for Wilson
and Marshall.
There seems. says Senator
Daniels, TO be no reasonable
doubt that Wilson and Marshall
will be elected on November 5th
1t is not enough that they should
receive a majority of the elector-
al vote. Every good Democrat
wishes them to be president and
vice-president by virtue of hav-
ing not only plurality but a ma
jority of the popular vote. The
question of whether they will
have a majority depends upon tie
South. In your state it is certain
that the electoral vote will go fol
Wilson and Marshall. Many
Democrats, therefore, do not see
the need of going to the polls
and voting. Under this condi'
ton. the danger is that Wilson's
vote will be small in your state
and if small in your state anG
other Southern states, his popu-
lar vote will not be as large as
the sentiment in favor of hi
election"
Continuing, Senator Daniel:
says: "As a Southern man,
know the difficulty of getting out
a full vote in a contest wher
there is no need for it to secure
the election of our candidates
but in this campaign you will ap
preciate the Importance of Viii
son having cast for him in the
ballot boxes every vote to which
he is entitled. | am therefore
writing to beg that in every is
sue of your paper, from nov
until the election, you will cal
upon your people to come out ant
vote so as to poll a full Demo
cratic vote for Wilson and Mar
shall. If this is done in ever.
Southern state Wilson and Mar
shall will not only have a ma
jority of the electoral vote bu
a majority of the popular vote
You appreciate the Importance o
this. If he is elected by only
plurality the Republican an
the Progressive parties will sa
that by combining they can de
feat US next time, whereas,
the Democrats have a majorit
over both the opposition fou
years hence will find it difficu
to give us trouble"

Wayfarer'S Note Book
OLD sETTEE AND METHODIsM


Philip H. Wood, a druggist at Tenth
and Spruce streets, this city, has an
old settee that he and other members
of his family prize, not only as an
heirloom. but also owing to its asso-
citation with early Methodism in Salem
county. n J. 1t is more than 100 years
old, and never has been out of the pos
session of the family Through Jere-
miah r. Wood, of Holly Oak, a brother
of Philip, the Wayfarer has been able
to obtain some interesting facts rela-
tive to the old piece Of furniture that
still is in a good state of preservation,
THAT settee had been in the pos
session of our family many years
when my mother, who was Elizabeth
Bacon Mulford,, daughter of William
c. Mulford Of Salem. n. j., was born
in 1873" Mr. Wood said. "She played
on and about it when she was a little
girl. In those days the Methodists did
not have a church in Salem They
called themselves the Society of
Methodists and held meetings in the
homes Of the members. My grand
father was a devout Methodist. and
his home was one of tho meeting
places. The settee that my brother
now has was used as the 'mourners
bench in those early meetings. anC
there is no telling how many times Il
served that religious purpose"

DON'T SCORN THAT MAN
NJ. C. Robbins.

Be careful, do not scorn that man,
Because his clothes are poor.
Don't look upon him with contempt
Nor drive him from your door.
We know he is not dressed in style;
His garments are not new
But underneath that ragged coat
There beats a heart that's true.
That poor old man has worked all
day;
Toiled hard for bread to eat
He's glad that he can comfort bring
To wife and children sweet.
He's borne the burdens bravely,
And nobly done his best,
And now as evening shadows fall
He's seeking home and rest.
That mans an honest man, you know;
Gods noblest work, we're told
'Tis better SO to be just that
Than revel in much gold.
But you must treat him with respect.
For he's your brother, sure,
Perhaps he lives above your head
Because his life is pure.
He may not wax in gilded halls,
Not sit at sumptuous boards;
In luxury he may not dwell.
Nor many dollars hoard.
But he may read his title clear
To mansions i'm the sky.
So careful be. don't scorn him now
Nor pass him coldly by.
Perhaps if he had had his rights.
And not been crushed by you.
He, too, might in a palace dwell
Among the favored few.
But no, stern poverty has kept
Him ground beneath your feet,
But one day when the reckoning
comes
The rich and poor will meet.
Perhaps It's then-you will be called
To take a lower seat.
Because while here on earth you
crushed
The poor beneath your feet.
'Tis so consOling just TO know
That day will surely he
When all will meet their just reward,
And poverty go free.
