WILSON'S BROAD APPEAL.
(From the Boston Post J

The practical wisdom of Woodrow
wilson's nomination by the democratic
party is already proving itself-or bet
ter, being proved by events that are
as irresistible as they were inevitable.
In the first place. the great indepen-
dent, semidetached vote of the United
States, a vote that has made presidents
more than once, has declared with an
enthusiastic unanimity for the COVER
nor of New Jersey. Without excep-
tion the influential Independent news
papers the country over are for him;
the leaders of independent thought
and movements are for him; the
powerful independent organizations,
political and otherwise, are for him.
There is no longer, if there ever was,
the slightest doubt that he will attract
the whole of what % years ago would
have been called the "mugwumpD ele-
ment. the element that twice made
Grover Cleveland president.
Another accession of strength is
coming with remarkable promptness
from the progressive wing OF the Re
publican party. The Roosevelt candi-
dacy idea is falling fiat, and men are
hurrying away from it into the Will
son camp, some of them formerly I'M
portant leaders in the colonels arms
At least one of his seven governors
is frankly talking Wilson. Roosevelt
is spurring himself on to make
declaration and be a candidate, but
the effort is visible and the need has
passed. The progressive can satisfy
himself and his ideals best by voting
for man who is not only in sym
pathy with him, but is going to win.
And finally, as the great and spien-
did foundation for his successful CAM
paign, Woodrow Wilson has and will
have the support of an undivided demo-
cratic party. The schism hoped for
by the other fellows has not arrived,
and every passing day puts it stlli
further into the realms of the impos-
sible.
No Democratic candidate for presi-
dent in generations has. had such an
impressive triple alliance of fayorlng
elements.

THE SERPENT IN THE HEDGE.
A Whole Book in Less Than Column
by DR.. Frank Crane, in New York
Globe ON Some Laws of Success.


Law is not commandment or rules
Law is the way The laws of nature
are the ways nature operates. The
laws of mind are the ways of mind
The laws of God existed before the
Ten Commandments which simply ex-
pressed them.
Legislatures really do not make laws
for the States; the laws are present
in the bosoms of men; the daW-making
bodies only try to perceive and give
form to them
Law is Inherent in men and things.
Find them out, observe them, and
succeed. Try to break or dodge them
and you are a fool. The stars fight
against you.
Law is God God always wins.
Thousands of young people are be-
ginning their business careers. What
ever their calling, whether merchant,
lawyer, physician, writer, actor, or
whatever, there are certain laws that
govern the art of making good. Here
are some of them:
Watch your health. The sickly
person is at a tremendous disadvan-
tage. There is no prodigal on earth
so foolish as one who is spendthrift
of health.
2-Eat as little as is necessary.
Leave every meal while you are un-
stated. Eat Slowly. Chew your food.
3-Let all alcoholic liquors abso-
lutely alone If you have your youth
you don't need whiskey. If you feel
the need of it at all, the more surely
you ought to let it alone.
don't use tobacco. 1t may not
be wicked, but the point is that it can
do no good and may do you harm
5-Take care of your teeth.
6-Exercise Don't over-exercise.
BE dependable. Be punctual Be
loyal. Create reputation of being
one that does not have to be watched
or guarded against.
S-Be polite-always, everywhere.
9-Be clean; keep your clothes
clean, your body clean This is an
antiseptic age.
10-Be honest. Don't lie yourself,
and get out of any business that in
wolves crookedness.
11-Associate with persons who
know more than you and who are
better than you; keep away, as much
as possible, from low people; at least
observe this rule in forming your
imtimates.
21-Learn your weakness ard guard
against it.
13-Whatever you do, do it at the
top of your capacity. The best way
to a better job is to do the one you
have WELL
41-Speak well of the absent. You
never can tell when your contempt
uous word will get around to the man
you speak Of
15-Watch your spare time. Get
in the habit of learning some useful
thing in your leisure hours.
16 Face the sex question, find out
the truth about it, and keep it settled.
1t has ruined more lives than any
other one thing.
17-Dont be afraid. Let no one
intimidate or alarm YOU
1S-Keep your money matters
straight Save a part of every bit you

WILSON BY WAY OF BAGHOT.

(From the Denver (Col) News.)
In 1894, Woodrow Wilson wrote an
article on Walter Bagehot, the great
English student of constitutional gov
ernment, in which he had this para
graph:
Moreover, there is a deeper lack in
Bagehot He has no sympathy with
the yoiceless body of the people, with
the t.mass of unknown men" He con-
ceiyes the work of government to be
a work which is possible only to the
instructed few. He would have the
masses served, and served with devo-
ton, but he would not like to see them
attempt to serve themselves. He has
not the stout fiber and the unquestlon-
ing faith in the right and capacity OF
inorganic majorities which make the
democrat. He has none of the heroic
holiness necessary for faith in whole
sale political aptitude and capacity.
He takes democracy in detail in his
thought, and to take it in detali makes
il look very awkward indeed
What finer enunciation of the demo-
cratic idea could any one wish? AS
a matter of fact, this one paragraph
could serve as political platform
today, so shrewdly does it hit at the
root of present matters The issue
today is whether the people shall rule,
or whether power shall be vested in
the hands of a limited few who arro-
gate to themselves all virtue and wis
dom. And just as woodrow Wilson
stood on the side of the people 20
years ago, SO does he stand today.
Gloucester County Democrat., 1912-07-18

earn Don't borrow. Don't lend.
Don't go into debt for personal needs.
Don't spend what you do not have.
Keep money in your pocket.
19-Keep cheerful Don't worry.
Don't pity yourself. Be a good loser.
2O-Dont let failure upset you. Any
fool can get along when successful
The real man is the one who knows
what to do when he fails.
21-Finally, reverence yourself. This
is the very essence of any religion.
Don't hold yourself cheap or of no
account
These are some of the laws of sue
cess. A man may think he can neg
lect some one or two of them and
succeed. But as sure as he lives he
will suffer.
These are the hedges of life. And,
says the Wisest Man, who so break
eth an hedge serpent shall bite him.

nler Governor John Franklin Fort
will be one of the two delegates-at
large from this state to the National
Progressive Convention in Chicago
August s. There is some talk that
George L. Record may be the other
one chosen.
The third party men in this State
will have to make all their own fight
as far as nominations are concerned
at the general election in November
Under the primary election laws the
Progressives will have no standing
whatever at the primary election in
September and all their nominations
as a party must be made by petition
The only way they can secure nom
nations at the September primary
will be to run Roosevelt men on the
Regular Republican ticket.
- =
Sea Girt will see the most notable
gathering in it's history on August
when Governor Wilson formally will
be notified of his nomination for Pres
ident. The ceremony will attract 9
large crowd to the Little White
House" and the company will include
national figures from all sections oi
| the country as well as scores of prom
inent Democratic State leaders. Sen
atoraelect Ollie James, of Kentucky
who was chairman of the National
Convention, will make the address
notifying Governor Wilson of his
nomination. The Governor is now
preparing his answer and in it he will
discuss national issues for the first

BRYAN.
From Golfers.

The services done by Mr.. Bryan to
his party and the country will not be
forgotten Nobody has in recent years
illustrated more wonderfully the truth
that the United States is country in
which men often grow surprisingly
after they have reached middle life.
Mr.. Bryan at Baltimore had all the
honesty, courage and sympathy which
have made him leader of the Demo-
cratic liberal masses, and he had
maturity, a strength, distinguished
economy of effort, olgic, of control,
which marked him as more formid-
able and a more complete figure than
he has cen before in any of his
campaigns We liked the boy orator
of 1896 We admire and trust the
fighting statesman of 1912.

A law taking effect July 4th provides
that all milk bottles must be of full
standard measure size. There has
been an investigation of milk bottles
in present use and they were found to
run from one to seven ounces short of
the measure the buyers thought they

William L. Waldron, State Superin-
tendent of Weights and Measures, has
commenced crusade against milk
and cream dealers who sell these
commodities by the bottle" Mr..
Waldron has found many such deal
ers whose bottles contain short meas
ure. Under law passed last winter
milk and cream must be sold in bottles
guaranteed to contain full measure,
and Mr.. Waldron declares that he will
strictly enforce this law hereafter
The Supreme Court yesterday hand
ed down very important decision
affirming the order of the Board Of
Public Utility Commission requiring
the big railroad companies of the
state TO sell Communication tickets from
inland points to Jersey City, Hoboken
and Camden. Under the decision the
railroad companies will be prevent
ed from compelling commuters to pur-
chase tickets to New York or to Phil
adelphia, paying for them a higher
rate because such tickets come under
fnter-stata commerce. The decision
is far reaching because by compelling
the companies to sell intra-state tick
cts to terminal points in this state
the traffic, including the rates of fare
may be regulated by the State Utility
| Board.
Congressman Oscar F. Underwood,
of Alabama, one of the opponents CT
Governor Wilson for the nomination
for the presidency, was the guest of
Governor Wilson at luncheon here
yesterday at the Trenton Coantry
Club, and during the meal they dis
cussed the campaign In most cor
dial manner Congressman Underwood
expressed his loyalty to Governor Will
son and predicted his election. AS
soon as Congress adjourns, he said,
he will offer his services to the Nat
ional Committee and will be glad to
render any duty asked of him for the
success of the ticket. Lieutenant
Governor Thomas F. Conway, of New
York State. also visited Governor Will
son yesterday and predicted the sue
cess of the Wilson and Marshal tick
ct. He also thought that New York
State would elect a Democratic Gov
ernor this fall. Perry Belmont, the
New York banker and advocate of
publicity in campaign contributions,
called to see the Governor and had
quite a talk with him on campaign
matters.
