"The endorsement of Mr.. Bryan
was fair exchange for the Iaudation
Governor Wilson gave the Nehras-
kan.
There have been times when
some of MS have differed, he said.
We differed, however. as to meas
ures and methods. but not as to
principles. Through all the rise and
fall, the ebb and flow of opinion
and beliefs, we have all been fol-
lowing the n fixed goal--tha goal
pointed out by the principles and
preachings OF William Jennings
Bryan
ttAt the conclusion of his speech
Governor Wilson said it was incum-
bent on all good Democrats to apol-
ogfze for ever having doubted each
other. and the diners discerned an
effort IN the part of the New Jer-
sey executive to put aside for all
time tie attacks which he had made
IN earlier days upon Bryan. That
the Nebraskan accepted the sug-
gestcd apology was very evident
from the mamie in which he Jump
ed from his seat and shock the hand
of Governor Wilson.
Throughout the banquet there
was an accumulation of evidence
that Mr.. Bryan is looking with favor
upon The candidacy OF Governor
Wilson. There were those who were
willing to quote the Nebraskan as
having declared himself unequiv-
osally Ia favor OF the New Jersey
governor, hut Mr. Bryan did not
commit himself Ia words when he
made his speech. which was the last.
one the program. Ills whole course
throughout the banquet. however,
was one OF extreme favor to Cover.
nor Wilson.
1t is doubtful il any person is
closer to Mr.. Bryan than Senator
MARITIME, Of this state. At the close
of the banquet the senator had quite
a talk with Mr. Bryan and while he
would not quote what the colonel said
to him concerning Governor Wilson,
and the Colonel himself is leaving
everything to Inference so far as his
exact view of presidential candi-
dates Is concerned, Mr.. MARITIME said
that the Nebraskan would be found
later openly fighting for Wilson's
nomination.
While there are many who insist
that Mr.. Bryan is dead politically, it
Ia noticed that he Ia still given a
great deal OF consideration by all
factions. In fact, all Democrats adj
nit hat it viii be impossible for
the party to win without his sup
port. Governor Wilson has all the
qualities to unite the party and
from the Republican ranks as
we'll, something possessed by none
of his rivals. His nomination and
is practically assured.

MORRIS N BASIN.

TO sell the Morris canal basin at
Jersey City to the Lehigh VALLEY
elk aadforS56U.O looks like
pretty good deal as far al the rail-
road Is concerned. The site Is eas~
lily worth a million or two and there
doubtless are corporations that
would like to get 1t at any price.
This abandonment OF the Morris
canal presents many problems.
There is no doubt that tt to a use
less waterway as 1t stands and
something should be done. Perhaps
1t Is necessary for both sides to
made concessions In order to arrive
at d conclusion. The people have
every confidence In Governor viii
son and IL he agrees on 100000 for
the canal basis there must be good
reason. At any rate, we do not see
where the railroad has any room for
complaint.

Governor Wilson looms larger
than ever as a candidate for the
nomination for President on the
Democratic ticket since the meeting
OF the national committee In Wash
ington ana the Jackson Day BAN
aret There IL not the slightest
doubt that he Is the fayorise OF the
rank and file of the voters, and
those party workers who are closest
to the people were quick to get IN
line for him. In summing up the
situation, Chairman Grosscup, of the
Democratic State Committee said:
II am pleased beyond measure at
the wonderful reception we received
as friends of Governor Wilson and
I am sure that the presence OF the
New Jersey delegation here has had
a very good effect In convincing
Democrats In other states that the
governors home folks are certainly
his friends and admirers. Govern
or Wilson himself received what was
probably one OF the greatest oya-.
lions ever given to q prominent pub

Mr.. Bryan and his friends has prov

LOVE AFTER DEATH.

Published by request)
They say if our beloved dead
Should seek the old, familiar place,
Some stranger would be there instead,
And they would find no welcome face
] cannot tell how It might he
In other homes: but this know:
Could my lost darling come to me,
That she should never find ii so.
Ofttimes the flowers have come and gone
Ofttimes the winter winds have blown
The while her peaceful rest went on,
And have learned to, live alone.
Have slowly learned from day to day
In all life's task TO bear my part,
But whether grave or whether gay,
hide her memory in my heart.
Fond, faithful love has blessed my way
Friends are round me true and tried.
They have their place; out hers to-day
Is empty as the day she died.
How would 1 spring with bated breath
And Joy too deep for word or sign,
To take my darling home from death
And once again to call her mine.
! dare not dream the blessed dream.
II fills my heart with deep unrest,
Where yOnder cold, white marbles gleam
She still must slUmber-GOd knows best.
But this I know, that those who say
Our best beloved would find no place
Have never hungered every day
Through years and years for one sweet
face. S A. /.

at another, and the skillfui cook never

serving.

The hUusekeepeT who cans her own
fruit and vegetables often finds that the
top OF the jar will refuse to come of
when she wants to open ii.
To overcome this 'invert the top of the
Jar in not water Cboiling hot. but not
holling), taking care that the water is
not deep enough TO touch the glass. The
principle is TO expand the metal top.
Then open as usual A minute or two is
sufficient: should il remain in too long,

THE BEGINNING
OF PHILOSOPHY
Every One Must Be His Own Re-
source.
BY FRANCES l.. GARsIDE.

When a baby begins TO suck his
thumb, his mother says, "How cunning. 80
Wise aunt says, 'It will spoil the
shape OF his thumb" ''It will spoil the
shape OF his mouth" says another wise
aunt, and wise uncles look at the little
atom of humanity over their glasses
and say that awful word microbes"
The result OF this family council Is
that the day comes when baby puts his
thumb in his mouth and Il tastes bitter.
He has his first experience in disappoint
ment in a friend and sets up a howl.
Then, returning from force OF habit TO
the faithful companions Of lonesome
hours, he again puts his thumb into his
mouth. gets another proof OF the peridy
of friendship, and his howl Is renewed.
He is cured OF the habit, and the wise
relatives never know that they are not
as wise as he, for when he first turned
to his thumb for comfort he was demon
strating q great idea.
Take the Best You Can Get.
1t is this: When one can't get what
one wants. be content with what one
can get.
He wanted his mother. II was all
he knew of comfort. life, and love. Ii
was denied him, and with a philosophy
which should have been encouraged he
put his thumb in his mouth and was
content.
We who are older than the baby and
who claim to have imbided wisdom from
the fount OF the ages have made no dis
covery more important than he made the
first time he found he had thumb and
that it would go into his mouth.
II was a discovery on which wisdom,
philosophy, Imagination, resignation, So
lace hone, and faith are based.
When one can't get what one wants, he
content with what one can get.
Instead OF exhausting ones vitality
straining the patience and forbearance
of others and wasting time because one
is denied what one wants, there is sub
lime wisdom in turning to what one can
get and making the best Of that
II the drought impairs the peach crops, |
turn from the trees. with their blasted |
promise, to the ogrelike globules trailing |
their way across the field and be thank |
full for pumpkins.
The baby. unconsciously, was not only |
finding consolation in a substitute; he |
must be his own resource in time Of
trouble.
FaIth Comes from within.
He found comfort in himself: he found |
that when one is disappointed the faith |
that sustains must come from within.
When he put his thumb in his mouth |
he demonstrated every principle OF phil
Osophy.
When his little brow is wrinlSled with
wisdom and the hairs on his head that /
have come with the years have also gone
with them he will make no discovery in
life greater than this:
When one can't get what one wants, be
content with what one can get.

BY DOROTHY DIX.

II there is one piece of advice more
than another that I would like 70 give
to young women II is this-put on the
soft pedal, girls.
Play the tune of life pianissimo. Walk
gently. Speak softly. Cultivate reserve.
Remember that II isn't enough for a girl
to be good. She must look good and
act good
1t is pity that young girls cannot be
made to understand that nothing else in
the world is so beautiful and so charm
ing as the ignorance and innocence, the
shyness and modesty. Of maidenhood. II
they did realize this we should not be
shocked by the horrible spectacle that we
see every day Of nice little girls who are
doing their level best to act as II they
were bad, and as II they belonged to a
class that is not even named in their
presence.
This Is a dreadful thing to say, but il
Is only too true, as you will see II you
look about you.
Makes Goo-EoO Eyes.
Behold. for instance, the girl who has
big, beautiful eyes. and who says, like
Anna Held's song. "I can't mako my
eyes behave" which means that she
ogles every man that comes within her
radius.
/ know such a girl as this. II she's
in a public restaurant and she sees a
man at another table she will roll her
eyes at him, and wink and blush. She
makes eye plays at every man she meets
in the street car. She languishes at the
butcher boy, and gazes soulfully at the
shoe clerk, and goo-goos at any every
thing in trousers that crosses her path
Now this girl is as good as gold at heart,
but some day she's going TO be grossly
insulted by some man who has misread
her eye signals. And she'll be to blame.
Not he.
Then there's the girl who INDUCES inl

she meets them downtown for dinner or

She thinks doing all these things great
