Is. He has. therefore reigned for 45
years, and yet was not by any means
an old man. His reign during this
time was the most momentous and far
reaching of any in this ancient en-
pire- perhaps the most remarkable in
the changes that have gone on during
that time of any nation in history.
He found his country beset with
grave difficulties. both internal and ex-
ternal. For seven hundred years there
existed in japan feudalism. the most
unique and perfect that the world has
ever seen. 1t was his glory to see
this ancient feudalism changed into a
strong. united national government. In
addition to this, foreign complications
were settled and perfected on an hon

"Mikado" Will Not Be Given,
Because Of Rulers Death

Then there was another question.
IL we do not put on the Mikado wnat
can we put on? The answer to this
was that the company was not pre-

Finally it was determined to adopi

BLOWERS DEMAND
AN INCREASE

Atlantic City, n. j., May 2S.-Glass
blowers of New Jersey are deeply in
terested in the outcome of the wage
battle to be started here tomorrow by
representatives of the glass manufac-
turers and the Glass Bottle Blowers
Association, who are meeting at the
Marlborough-Bl Blenheim prior to the
annual conventions of the two bodies
which take place in August next
Although the greatest secrecy is be-
ing preserved by the men on both sides
it is known that a cut that may go as
high as 25 per cent. will be demanded
by the manufacturers ON the plea that
semi-automatic blowing machines are
supplanting many skilled blowers in
all branches of the trade and making
possible the starting of many new
factories by employers who secure
cheap, nonunion labor to run their ma
chimes. The employers may also ask
for control of the men employed on
machines now held by the men who by
this control have been able to hold up
wages for several years past
The men, led by President Dennis A.
Hayes, will resist all proposals for re-
auctions and will submit the matter to
the annual meeting of the blowers in
Olean, N. Y, before meeting the bosses
again in final conference here. They
claim that the recent boom in the glass
trade entities them to a raise instead of
a reduction, and will ask for the in
crease in hope of securing something
in a compromise.

YESTERDAY:

Il have given the campaign my at
tention for several weeks anu all my
time for the past two weeks and
cannot help being struck by the great
change of sentiment in New Jersey.
To my mind all doubt as 70 the result
is cleared away and I believe that the
President will carry the State,
THE total delegation viii be ours,
with perhaps the exception Of two dis
tricts, we have an excellent chance,
and the people are beginning to real
ize exactly what the campaign means.
The absolute necessity to all thinking
people of the State. | cannot, how
ever, urge too strongly upon all the
voters of the State who believe in the
denomination and election Of President
Taft to vote as they think and to see
that every vote is recorded If this is
done, President Taft will receive an
enormous majority in the State

STONE HARBOR

1t is hoped by the officers of the
automobile club that there will be
gool turnout of autos tomorrow morn
ing in front of the Commercial Hotel
at O'Clock for the run to Stone Har-
bOr and of course it will be understood
that all of the auto owners, whether
members of the club or not are invited.
The South Jersey Realty Co. has
sent out invitations for a free dinner
for all (or at least up to 20 or so
people, and they will also provide a
launch for some Harbor trips, free
The run is only about 4S miles, the
roads are good, and it will be a de-
lightful way to spend the day
If anyone desires, they can run down
to Wildwood or Cape May and come
home by moonlight, but probably the
attractions will be so great at Stone
Harbor that they will prefer to remain
there.
The beach at low or half tide is a
lovely place to take a spin on, and it
is almost equal to Ormond or Daytona

Rural Districts Show that Roosevelt
Sentiment Greatly Pre-

In vote of less than 1000 through
out Cumberland County, Colonel
Roosevelt gets about 1000 plurality
over President Taft with now and
then a vote cast for United States Sen
ator Robert NJ. LaFollette.
Roosevelt carries every ward fnd
township in the entire county on the
preference vote with the exception of
Greenwich. There Roosevelt had %

Millyille was the banner producer of
Roosevelt majorities, giving a major

a Roosevelt majority of 11S, with Ian

Colonel
In all of the townships it was a

Thus the rate uns all over the coun-

ment for, Roosevelt and against Taft
The Democratic vote was practically
a sweep for Governor Wilson, the dn-
instructed delegates getting but scat
tering votes of the nearly 1900 Demo-
cratic votes cast in Cumberland.
Betchner, the insurgent Wilson candi-
date has, according to the best returns
obtainable, 1S7 votes in the entire

THE VOTING WAS LIGHT
About One Thousand Republican
Votes in Primary Boxes
Yesterday.

In Bridgeton yesterday the Repub-
lican voters gave Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt 54S votes and Taft 991. La
Toilette had a few scattering votes,
probably a score.
In the preference vote Roosevelt
carried each of the five wards of the
city, and all of the ten voting precincts
excepting the first of the Second Ward,
which gave Taft so votes to Roosevelt,
Al, and the third precinct of the Third
ward, which gave Taft SO and Roose-
Welt 50. However Potter and Marvel,
the Roosevelt district delegates, won.
over Minch and Edge in the latter pre-
cinct.
The preference vote in Bridgeton is
as follows:
First ward, 1st precinct-Roosevelt

There was some interest in the re-
suit of the counting of the votes of the
district delegates here. In Bridgeton,
Frank d. Potter, the pledged Roosevelt
delegate, secured 51S votes. thirty
votes less than the Roosevelt prefer
ence vote. B. H. Minch, the unin-
structed candidate, who was supported
by the Taft following secured 1868
votes, which was 29 votes less than the
Taft preference vote. Potter's major

In the preference vote on the DEM

Betchner made personal canvas for
himself, but no attention was paid to
him or his candidacy, and in the en-
tire city he secured but SS votes out of
the nearly 400 Democratic votes cast.

FOR A new
STATE SURVEY

The last Legislature made provision
for the beginning of an archaeological
survey of New Jersey and placed the
work under the direction of the State
Geologist. A modest appropriation
was made available at once for work
during the coming summer, and a
somewhat larger appropriation was
inserted in the regular bill to permit
continuing the work for another year.
If the results of the first two years
work meet with public approval, there
is little doubt but what the survey
will be continued.
1t is proposed to investigate Indian
village sites, burying grounds and
quarries to which the aborigines re-
sorted to for material for their arrow
heads, etc. Ultimately it is hoped that
it will be possible to publish a map
showing the location of many of these
ancient sites. Any persons having
knowledge of their location will assist
much in the Initiation of this work by
communicating with DR.. Henry B.
Kummel, the State Geologist, Trenton,
n. ]. The small sum available this
year will not permit an extended sur
vey and it is hoped by the information
obtained from volunteers that much
unnecessary travelling may be avoided.

Delegates in New
Jersey.
COLONIES BIG
VICTORY HERE
New Jersey Primaries Show Peep e
Are Very Strong for Colonel
Roosevelt and Against
Taft.

President Taft whirled through New
Jersey, asked for vote of confidence
in himself and an endorsement for his
administration. He did not get it.
President Taft assailed Colonel
Roosevelt, declared him to be dan
gerous egotist and a menace to the
country, and the voters of New Jersey
promptly gave T. R. tremendous ma
iority, defeating Taft by a vote of
nearly to 1, and rolling up major
ity for the Colonel of more than
10000.
The sweeping victory of Roosevelt
in New Jersey was the last blow to
the present administration, the bosses
and Office holders combination.
The complete official returns may
give Taft 4 delegates, although the
Roosevelt headquarters claim that
Roosevelt will have every district in
the state excepting the sixth and he
may get that.
The entire state is for Roosevelt
The Roosevelt sentiment is about the
same all over the state, United States
Senator Frank Q. Briggs and Governor
Franklin Murphy are badly beaten, and
they will not be members of the Ma
tional Convention. Yesterdays vote
indicates that Briggs will not be can
didate for United States Senator this
fall.
Throughout the state the vote was
light, probably about so per cent of
that cast on election day. At midnight
on the basis of the returns, it was
estimated that Roosevelt had beaten
Taft about 21a toll
In Hudson county, there was a
sweep for Roosevelt and Wilson. They
carried the delegates from the eleventh
and twelfth congressional districts, as
we'll as part of the eighth district.
George L. Record, leader of the pro-
gressives, in Jersey City, said that the
vote would be 8 to / for Roosevelt.
At the Taft headquarters in Hoboken,
it was conceded that Roosevelt had
won the county by vote of two to
one. Mayor Wittpen, leader of the
Wilson forces in Jersey City, predicted
that the plurality for Wilson in Hud-
son county would be $4,000.
At midnight it was virtually conced-
ed that Colonel Roosevelt had cap
tured the delegates -at-large They are
John F. Fort, Everett Colby, Frank
B. Jess and Edgar B. Bacon
K. w. Gray, secretary of the Taft
Business Mems League at Newark,
conceded that Roosevelt had carried
the state on the preference vote and
that he would have the four delegates
at-large. 1T looks" he said; "as if
the president were badly beaten"
Ex-senator James B. Smith, Jr.,
who has been one of the strongest OPP
ponents of Governor Wilson, is elected
as a delegate from the ninth district.
James A. Nugent, who has been lead
er of the anti-Wilson forces, is elected
a delegate from the tenth congress
sional district. He is also elected as
state committeeman.
In fifty districts in Essex county, in
Guiding part of Newark, Roosevelt got
1870 and Taft 1853 votes. This indi-
Gated that Colonel Roosevelt carried
the county by 2500 In the same dis
trict the Smith and Nugent forces had
beaten Governor Wilson by about 2
to 1, which indicated that Governor
Wilson would lose the county by about
5000.

CARE OF THE VETERANS.

Governor Colquitt's recent order
that all INDECENT Confederate soldiers
shall be taken into the Confederate
Home and cared for has put Maj. L.
Lyles, the new superintendent, up
against proposition he can not meet.
AS a consequence he called upon the
governor to inform him that he is
taking care of all that he can and will
continue to do so, but that he can
hardly take care of all of them.
At present there are at the home
400 veterans. He believes that 425
can be cared for. The capacity of the
home has been rated at $40 BY care
full figuring and the elimination of
some minor expenses, it is believed
that the additional number can be pro-
vided for.
There are fifty-seven applications
for admittance to the home outstand-
ing and approved and twenty-five ap-
plications filed and unapproved. Three
whose applications have just been ap-
proved have been ordered in and
there are thirty-three other orders
for admittance outstanding Austin
Statesman.
Here is work for the next legisla-
ture. Texas is too big, too great and
too rich for the report to go out that
she can not care for her grand old
Confederate heroes who can not care
for themselves. 1t must be borne in
mind that every man who was Con-
federate soldier is now seventy years
Of age, or close to it, and few of them
can care for themselves after reaching
that age. If they have not compe-
tence, or some one to provide for
them, it is up to the state to do it.
She should not be niggardly about it
either. Let the capacity of the Home
be doubled by the next legislature If
necessary.

RAISE FOR LETTER CARRIERS

Washington, Sept. 30.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock, under a recent au-
thorization of congress, today in
creases the salaries of about $4,000
rural letter carriers.
The compensation on standard
routes, averaging about twenty-four
miles and of which there are about
10000, is raised from $1,000 to $1100
year, with proportionate increases
on shorter routes.
This involves an additional cost of
about s4,O00OOO year, and is the sec
ond general increase in salaries dur
ing the present administration.
When the rural delivery system was
started sixteen years ago the carriers
were paid 5000 year.
