Titanic.

The sinking of the Titanic is the
most fearful tragedy of recent years.
The horror of 1t is more than the mind
can grasp. In the construction Of this
magnificent vessel every effort was
made to excel all other ocean going
steamships; every modern device
known to the science of ship building
was used to equip her and yet the first
voyage was fatal one. The triumph
OF human ingenuity was short lived.
But what shall we say of vessel adj
Yertised as the largest, best and safest
ever built, that did not carry enough
boats and life RATS to keep one third
OF its human freight alive for few
hoursp But for this fact nearly z, 200
rescued men aud women would be
speeding toward home to-day. In the
number and prominence OF the victims
only was this ocean story a new one !;
men among our richest in intellect and
character, as we'll as money, were sac
riheed, stepping back in line with the
! common sailors to await the death
plunge of vessel well supplied will
every possible luxury, but with ne
room for boats or RATS.
Some snch horror as this seems to bt
necessary for the reconstruction of hu
man rights. and the Titanic disaster
will doubtless be the end of allowing
"unsinkable" boats to sail with one,
third of the proper number of life
boats.

Remodel Schools in LambertvilIe.

The Board of Education Wednesday
evening decided to proceed with the
work of remodeling the First aud
and Third Ward buildings to meet the
requirements of the state laws.
The interior of the First Ward build
ing will be remodeled 80 AZ to give ex-
ira floor space to each OF the four
rooms. In order to do this, it will be
necessary to move the stairway from
the centre of the building to the rear.
The interior of the Third Ward
building will also be remodeled and a
four-room addition added TO the build
ing. This will enable the Board to do
away with the rented building in the
Second Ward and also relieve the con =
gestion in this school.
1t is the intention of the Board to
have all this work completed by the
opening of the school term 10 Septem

The appoi ntment of Vivian NJ. Lewis
as Vice Chancellor, while giving much
pleasure to his many friends, eliminates
him from the prospect of being the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, to
succeed Woodrow Wilson, and others
are throwing their chats into the ring"
at great rate, Senator Prince, of Pas
sale, was the FIRST to take shy and now
comes Senator Gaunt, of Gloucester.
Both of these men are well qualified, by
experience in state affairs, to fill the Of
fee, but the time is not yet ripe for
starting things" along this line. When
the Republicans are ready to train their
minds in that direction Senator Colgate,
OF Essex, will loom large on the hori-
zon. His availability is well worth con
sidering, together with his marked ca
pability for the place.-Chronicle.

Veteran Uses Tobacco Captured From the
C0nfederates.

Throughout all the land there is no
war veteran more vigorous than Jo-
seph s. Trumbauer, aged 70 years,
of Allentown, Pa, who still chews to-
bacco captured from the Confederates.
1t is of the old fashioned navy plug
brand and veteran Trumbauer de-
clares there is none like it. He en-
listed in the First Pennsylvania Vol
unteers and served until the close Of
the war. While his regiment was
part of Sheridan's army he was de-
tailed TO guard property along the Ma
nassas Gap railroad, at Sha rpsburg,
Va. He seized 200 pounds Of Confed-
crate tobacco. What he could not
carry along was securely hidden until
he was mustered out of the service,
when the tobacco was shipped north.
He still has about twenty pounds Of il
andlikes ii so much that he is very spar
ing in giving any OF it to his friends.

A Good Choice.

awhile the Presidential situation is
just now taking most of the attention
in politics, yet the fact that New Jersey
will soon elect another governor is not
lost sight OF entirely, particularly in
South jersey. 1t is said that there is
an under current at work with view of
bringing Senator George w. F. Gaunt,
OF Mulica Hill, to the front when the
time comes for the Republican nomi-
nation. The senator has been prom
nent figure at Trenton for four years,
and his reelection last year, when ev-
erything else went Democratic in this
county, has brought him prominence.
The Senator is at the head OF the
State Grange, powerful organization.
He has travelled in the interest of the
Grange in almost every hamlet in New
Jersey. He is practical farmer, al
though retired, he conducts one Of the
largest farms in South Jersey.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer, April Ist

Clara Barton.

Clara Barton was born in Massa-
chusetts village, but she became citi-
zen of the world through her skill as
nurse and her untailing supply of kind
ness
Where war or famine or pestilence or
any widespread disaster afflicted hui
mainly she was present help and her
name and tame became the property of
the human race.
When the Civil War began she be-
came a volunteer nurse and worked so
hard and SO constantly that the soldiers
knew of her though they might not have
seen her and everyone was ready to aid
her in work that ended only with the
war.
Since then for half century she has
been Il prominent worker in the Red
Cross organization and was for many
years at the head OF the American
branch.
Clara Barton was the bravest of wo-
men and one ofthe most self-sacrlhcine;
veteran of every war for half century,
heroic figure in every disaster, always
ready, always willing to aid suffering
everywhere.
In spite of all the risks ran in war
and pestllence, Miss Barton lived be-
yond her ninetieth birthday and died
peacefully in her own home, and every
where when the Red Cross work is
mentioned there is thought for Clara
Barton, monument not made with
hands, a blessing for one of the finest
products of civilization.

The liquor traffic il intrepched in
the customs of society. We must go
after it, then, with the pledge of total
abstinence for others sake. The liq-
uor traffic is protected by the peoples
ignorance. We go must after it in the
Sunday schools and public schools
with Thus saith Nature, thus saith
Reason, thus saith the Lord"
The liquor traffic is safeguarded by
the law. We go after it into the legisla-
ture aud parliament, and we will give
them no rest for the soles of their feet
until they give us better laws than we
have yet achieved.

Dog Meets Every Train.

John Foster, of Valley, Hunterdon
county, owns dog which is more reli-
able than the best alarm clock ever
made, he says. The dog meets the
train on the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, which every day brings the
morning papers, gets a copy for his mas
ter from the hand of the baggageman,
and legs il as fast as he can back to the
house without tearing or damaging the
sheet in any way, 1t is as much a part
OF its life to meet the train as it is for
the milkman to leave the milk at the
back door.

The People Rule.

About half the states have now cho-
sen delegates to the Republican ma
tional convention. and President Taft
is we'll in the lead. But Pennsylva-
MAS vote suggests the possibility Of
like results in New Jersey and Ohio,
while the Pacific states are in doubt
and may return large Roosevelt vote.
So the nomination, which week ago
seemed almost certainly assured for
Taft, must now be conceded to be in
doubt.
The people rule this country when
they choose to do so. That they want
leaders whom they can trust is the re-
suit of Saturdays primaries in Penn
sylvania. -Philadelphia Press.
