The fool, the mad. clumsy fool to send

insane telegram that would set every

apprehension as to what the future might
hold for the man and woman she had
left behind her-the blind man raving in

the wife he had repudiated, and whom he
would never again see.
She had been thankful to find that her

Every mother knows what lot of fun
the baby gets out of crawling about tha

But every mother has looked with

how the delicate little garments are cooked

But all that was before the Fels-Naptha

Heads List of "FirSt Ten"
Among the Tennis Players.
ALSO FIRST IN DOUBLES
Ranking Committee of the U. S. L.
7. A. Completes Its
Work.

NEW YORK, December 14.-Maurice
E. Mclaughlin of San Francisco heads the
list of the first ten among the tennis
players of the country, according to the
report made public today by the rankin g
| committee of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association. With T. c. Bundy of
Los Angeles. Mclaughlin also heads the
list in the doubles class.
The rankings are based on the stand
ing Of the players for the season of 1912
and not on the judgment Of the commit
tee as to the relative merits of the in
dividual men. For ranking in the singles
class. each player must have participated
in at least three tournaments, and in the
doubles class each pair must have taken
part in two tournaments. At the re-
quest of the Pacific Coast Tennis Asso-
citation. none of the players of that divi-
sion is ranked except those who played
in eastern tournaments this year.
Others in the first ten" in numerical
order are r. Norris Williams. Wallace F.
Johnson. Cynwyd. Pennsylvania; William
]. Clothier, Wynnewood, Pennsylvania;
Nathaniel w. Niles, Boston: Thomas c..
Bundy, Los Angeles; Karl H. Behr. New
York: Raymond d. Little. New York;
George p. Gardner. Cambridge. Mass,
and Gustav F. Touchard, New York.
Ninety players in classes Of ten each
also were ranked by the committee ac-
cording to their standing in tournaments
this season. No numerical standing was
awarded in these classes. as the players
thus designated were found to have made
about the same records. The committee
also listed thirty players whose records
probably entitled them to places in some
one of the ten classes for singles, but
who failed to file their seasons cards
with the association. The second and
third groups of ten-designated as class
1" and "class 2" respectively, are as
follows:
Class 1-George M. Church, Alfred S.
Dabney, w. Merrill Hall, F. H. Harris,
w. T. Hayes A. H. Mann, jr. Lyle f.

st. Johns is going to have a basket ball
team to rival its great foot ball team OF
shown are not to be credited. Last night
it won from the Gallaudet quint by a
big margin. outplaying 1t in every depart
ment of the game. The Kendall Greeners
could not do much against the defense
put up by the Annapolis team, nor
could they accomplish anything in pre-
venting St. Johns from scoring almost
at will.
1t is likely that the Maryland Aggies
will play a much harder foot ball SEIZED
ule next fall than they did last season.
The Farmers will probably drop one or
two teams which they have met for the
past few years and substitute stronger
teams instead. 1t is certain that one of
the larger elevens will be met, and there
is a possibility that two will be played.
There is some question being raised.
though, as to whether or not it would
not be an unwise policy to break into a
schedule in which several Of the larger
elevens in the south would be played in
one year. 1t had been planned to take
on one of the big teams next fall and
add another the following year, but
whether or not any departure will be
made from this is not known.
The George Washington-Cath Uni
versity game. which has been scheduled
for next Friday night, will be played
Thursday instead The Brooklanders play
ed the Navy in Annapolis Saturday, and
it is not desired that two contests come
on successive nights, especially when one
of them is with team of the caliber Of
the Navy.
The announcement has been made that
the George Washington track meet will
probably be held after all. Word came
yesterday from Mr.. NJ. G. Slarrow, who
is manager of the track team this year,
to the effect that the meet would be held
and that date would be announced this
week. 1t was stated by him that definite
arrangements were now being made
whereby the games would take place and
that they were practically completed, and
it only remained to settle upon a date.
1t will be gratifying to the supporters of
the school, to the public in general and
to the athletes in this section if the
meet is held. If the George Washington
meet were to go under. as has been
pointed out. there would be but one set
Of games in this city and that would
hardly be enough to satisfy. Two big
affairs of that kind can be supported
and there is no reason why they should
not. There is no reason why the George
Washington meet should not be a finan-
cial success, and it will be, if the at
fractions are secured.

GOVERNOR BLEASE.

The utterances being accredited to Cover
nor Blease, of South Carolina, could be passed
unnoticed if they were from any other person
than The governor Of a great state. We doubt
very much if Governor Blease represents the
entire sentiment of South Carolina, neverthe-
less all his remarks at the convention Of gov
ernors, which has just been held at Richmond,
Va, are made as the spokesman of the COM
monwealth.
When a man defes the Constitution and de-
spises all law and order, he shows himself to be
an unfit person to hold a responsible public
position under a republic. There is no greater
power in this form of government than the
people who choose their own leaders. If these
leaders guide their constituents in a manner
that will tend to break down the government,
sooner or later disaster is bound to come.
Governor Blease believes that he has been
called upon to accomplish an important job
and is determined to go about it, regardless of
all restrictions. He thinks he knows what
ought to be done and desires to do it without
regard for the members of society in general.
The governor makes his boast that when his
colleagues, who bave criticised his remarks,
have passed ipfo political oblivion, he will be
occupying~d seat in the United States Senate.
1t will be a sorry day for the country when
such a fhan as this occupies a seat in the upper
house ~

THE PROGRESSIVE CONFERENCE.

While Republicans are trying to arrive at
some plan for recognizing that party, the
great Progressive movement is busily at work,
perfecting it's organization and making plans
for the future. The conference now being held
in Chicago is attended by body of men as en-
thusiastic as if it were just prior to an election.
This is remarkable owing to the fact that
once election is ovdr the average citizen i'm
mediately forgets all about politics and allows
the political bosses to work out their schemes
for the next campaign. Any one who thinks
that the Progressive movement is merely a
temporary split from the Republican ranks
need only follow the proceedings of the confer
WINGED of their mistake.
The Progressive party met with far too
great a success in the recent election to pass
out Of existence at this time. For the mem
bers of that organization to quietly fall back
into the ranks of the Republican party, allow
ing the old leaders to continue as before,
would be like having the tail wag the dog.
The Republican leaders have been left high
and dry by the rank and file, and the great ma
jority of the voters who once followed the G.
y. L. are now in the new organization.
While the Republicans are fussing and stew
ing as to what course to pursue, the Progress
ives, with undiminished enthusiasm, are
forging ahead, more determined than ever to
carry out their program. For those Repub-
lican leaders to suggest a national convention
in an effort to get the Progressive element
back into the ranks this present Progressive
conference, now on in Chicago, should be a
convincing answer to their proposition. 1t is
noticeable that all the talk of get together
comes from the Republicans, the Progressives
being thoroughly satisfied with their own pc
sition at this time.

WE WANT LIGHT!

Perth Amboy demands sufficient light at the
Central station at night and along the path
way leading to the station. These lights must
be kept burning continuously all the evening.
This is a small thing for a city of this size
to ask. We are ashamed to ask it, thus let
ting our sister cities know that we are so far
behind the times and allow the railroad to thus
ignore us. But to remain silent longer is only
playing into the hands of this parsimonious
corporation that now turns the lights at the
station off after the departure of every train
only to turn them on again when the next
train approaches. PERTH AMBOY IN
