BETS ON ELECTION

Interest in the Presidential cleo
ton was manifest in Wall street,
New York yesterday, by many bet
ting offers. Large sums to be wag.
cred are placed in the hands of brOk-
ers, and the anticipation Of Il three
corncrcd fight led to all kinds Of pro-
posals, with various odds mentioned.
OF Taft money there seemed to be
plenty and one offer Of 5000"
against 100000 that the President
would be reelected caused much com
ment. 1t is understood that this
wager will have to be covered in
it's entirety. and that the sum will
DOT be split up.
Tea thousand dollars MAS offered
against $1,000 that Gov. Wilson will
be elected.
From the source of the S3H, 600
offer came another offer Of 10 i,
no limit mentioned. that neither can
didatc would obtain sufficient votes
in the electoral college TO elect him
and that the matter will have to- &c
before the House OF Representatives.
In the event Of IL lhr1e-cOrnercd

NOVEL BRAID DAISIES
THEY ARE MADE OF REVIVED
Rlck-RkCK TRIMMING.
csbocfon of Them Placed at the Side
of White Lingerie or Straw Hat
Gives a Most Pleasing
Effect.

| On one of the expensive little hats
| for children seen the other day
| wreath of daisies was used with great
! effect. It was a model sent out by a
! noted millincr in Paris, yet any
! needewoman could reproduce it. The
! whole story hinges around the making
Of the daisies.
Do you remember the old-fashioned
rlck-rach braid used on our baby
dresses? In those days our mothers
were busy in sewing together this SER
pentine braid in straight bands, In
more intricate flower designs. or in
motifs that were inset on yokes and
sleeves. Rick-rack trimming has been
revived. It IS so easy and SO very Of
fective that it comes back with dou-
BILE appeal.
The braid is serpentine and general
~ white in color 1t can be sewed at
the points and very easily twisted IN
flower that. when yellow center OF
braid or linen is added. resembles a
daisy with pleasing fidelity.
Some daisies can be mode IN double
rows; some IN triple rows. The dais!
form then changes TO q dahlla; but
whatever the flower may be, it Is at
tractive.
When one daisy is made you will re
peat the process. which Is very easy,
and add the daisies In straight line
or in an irregular wreath, one follow
ed by two or three in q group.
\ huge cabochon Of these braid
daisies placed at the side or white
lingerie hat or fine straw shape viii
look new and will remind one Of the
popular field flowers that have been
accorded so much favor this spring.
From the millinery Idea the clever
woman can depart into other fields OF
dress. On dainty little flower frocks
OF figured batiste. null or muslin. lit
tie clusters Of rick-rach daisies can be
placed at the gtrdle. on the ends OF
sashes or IN garlands that hold up the
drapery at the side Of skirt.
A high waist line can be outlined
with these pretty little flowers. AS
the rick-rack braid Il procurable In
several widths, daisies can be made in
several sizes. and delightful variety
can be given by grouping little and
big flowers.
Rick-rack can BE- bought at the art
needlework department or at the no
ton counter Of any large store. There
promises to BE much work in this new
flower idea. Isn't Il fine to be able to
use an old idea with such excellent
results?

they gave their services and ability

The National Republican Convention

The eyes of the whole country is now
turned towards Chicago. The Repub-
lisan National Convention meets there
next Tuesday to nominate d candidate
for President. President Taft has
made a fairly good President i'll his
Conservatory way of doing business and
deserves a denomination.
Five months ago there Was 10 for
midable opposition to his ie-nomina-
ton. Senator Robert NJ. / Ioli-tte,
of Wisconsin was leading all I'm: but
not all effective contest I'm. rs ner-
Vous break down in Philadelphia. The
public enumeration of his principles did
not suit certain interests. They saw
that President Taft would De a weak
candidate and their only hope was TO
back former President Theodore Roose-
Welt who had declared lie would not be
4 candidate. But with him promises
and declarations are but WOrus to be
uSS1cu Wltu do outto HIS pOioOlldl III
terest. HIS invective campaign against
President Taft has sIirred up ii biggest
split in that party iii It's history. 1t
can only be compared to The split i'll the
Democratic party over ihe slavery
question in 1860.
If either Taft OF Roosevelt be nomi-
mated they either will most likely be
slaughtered at the polls next November
A majority OF the delegates are
neither Tor L oft nor Roosevelt. Sena-
tor A. B. Cummings, OF Iowa, and
Senator La Toilette will have delegates
enough to hold the balance when the
convention meets. 1t is probable that
a dark horse will be chosen. If not
Cummings, then another not now
mentioned.

After completing her education at Perki-

taught. eight years continuously in
Gloucester and Salem counties, five
years of which was at the Cove school,
near Penns Grove.

Civil Service Law Unfair

The State Civil Service Commission
has decided that tile SECRETARIES Of
county tax boards are stale employees
and cannot be removed. The law re-
quires the tax boards TO consist of three
men, OF whom must not be of the
same party. Two OF HE three were
Republicans until Gov. Wilson's cleo
tiOn. His appointment OF Democrats
made the county boards have a Demo
cratic majority. Some proceeded TO
elect Democrats to be secretaries, as
all the twenty. one boards had Republi-
CAN secretaries. The clTll service COM
mission has decided u these secre-
taries have lite POSITIONS AS none re-
sign their sinecure poSitl, : with 81 600
positions ana few uie, thete afe htlle
hopes ter Den Oclats getting these posi-
tons.
IL is all right to have a civil service
Law to require a certa qualification
Tor All office, but i'll our Democratic
form Of government every man who
meets that qualification, should have as
much right 10 ill 1t as TIL other. The
building up Of all office h Ilding oligar-
chy i'll d democracy show ) too much of
a monarchy and is Inconsistent in a
democracy where every nan with the
same mental and moral qualifications
should have the same legal standing.
