DENOUNCES POLITICAL
PATENT Medicine MEN
Bitterly AssaiIs Critics Of Republican
Party Both Within and Out Of the
Observation-Disclosures Of Republican
Form Of Government.
(By Associated Press.)

Rochester, April Accommodation of
the critics of the Republican party,
within and without its ranks, Of "po-
litical patent medicine men," Of the
men who would destroy the independ-
ent judiciary" and of 'those who tell
us that we must buy their political
patent medicine or fail to carry the
next Presidential election" formed
the keynote of the address before the
Republican State Convention here to-
day of Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Golumbia University, the con-
vention's temporary chairman
"The Supreme Issue of 1912" was
the subject of DR.. Buffers address.
This he defined as ''the maintenance
of our Republican form of Govern
ment." In conclusion, he declared
that the chief measures of progress
confronting the nation were the enact
ment of a Workingman's compensation
law enactment of proper monetary leg
islation; revision of the tariff, supple
mentary legislation to the antitrust
law; judicial settlement of interna-
tional disputes; economy in govern
ment, and legislation to shorten the
laws delays. He said, in part:
What criticism is made of the Re-
publican administration Of the nation
during the past sixteen years? There
is first, the honest and fair criticism
of our opponents from whom we differ
in many matters of fundamental polit-
ical policy. This criticisf is a natural
and necessary incident in the conduct
of republican form of government.
Second, there is criticism from an
element which, however numerous,
is certainly in full possession of its
powers of speech, and which is found
in part within the ranks of our own
party and in part within the ranks of
the Democratic party. In includes
the whole of the Socialist party as
well as some of those whose mental
\ lscondition is one of such blissful ele-
walton that they cannot find any politi
I cal association quite satisfactory to
/ them.

Anty Drudge Talks about Wall Paper.
Mrs Noybsr- See how soed and dingy this wall paper
looks And it's only been on few weeks. Oh, I'm
disgusted trying to keep my Kitchen neat and clean
A,rtv Dsdoe-'Tn tell you, my dear. you'd use
FesNsptha soap and not fill your kitchen with steam
from boiling Clothes your wall paper would look nice.
And you'd do your washing with less work, In less
time and get the clothes cleaner winter and sweeter
than you did by the old method of boiling"
You can't blame the clothes if you
boil all the life out of them and then rub
them to shreds against washboard.
You don't wear them out; you wash
them out.
You give them harder wear that way
in one day than you can possibly give them
in whole week on your back
It's all in the soap you use.
Fels-Naptha helps the wear.
It's just as gentle with clothes as the
finest toilet soap is with the skin.
You don't have to boil the wash with
Fels-Naptha. You use cool or lukewarm
water; that won't weaken the fabric.
And you don't stand over a steaming
tub, rubbing and scrubbing to loosen the
dirt
Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt.
Just soap the clothes thoroughly; let
them soak for about thirty minutes; then
rinse.
1t saves you lot of time and coal and
labor and you get better results than you can
possibly get with hot-water-and-scrubs soaps.
Fels-Naptha is best for household
cleaning too.
Follow the directions on the red and
green wrapper.

School Report

The New Jersey school report for 1911,
a bound volume of 583 pages, has been
printed and is being distributed, The
printed reports of the various county su-
perintendents are interesting. In his re-
port for Salem county, Oscar o. Barr, gu
p~erintendent, says that the school build
ings in the county, with very few excep-
lions, are moi in good condition and that
scarcely a district in the county complies
with the laws which relate to the con-
struCtion and care Of water closets and
that a majority of them are actually unfit
for use.
The new school house at Walnut
Grove, near Elmer, is cited as the best
one room school building in the county.
Elmer and Salem are the only districts
which have attempted to enforce the
compulsory attendance law. Mr.. Barr
calls attention to the low salaries paid
teachers in the county and says that sew
teral of the rural one room schools pay but
$50 per month. He says: "Our. Boards
OF Education have trouble in securing
teachers for rural schools, simply because
they are not willing to pay as much as
the average teacher demands, and there
for rather than pay an experienced or
trained teacher at least fifty dollars a
month, they will engage N of no exper-
fence or training for forty dollars per
month";" There are few modern and up
to-date school buildings in the county
says Mr.. Barr, but Pittsgrove township
has two one room schools which conform
to the requirements of the law, and the
same township has a four room building
at Norma, which may be considered a
modern building.
