TRIUMPH OF THE REFERENDUM

The Common Council has voted to submit to the voters the propositions of Mayor Wilson regarding certain cipaI enterprises which the mayor desires pay for by the issuance of bonds.
 There can be no objection to this action which has been taken by the ctys legislative body. There be none to the mayors course in inviting public judgment upon his program.
 For number of years the Democratic party has de- manded that there shall be bonded indebtedness and no charter changes without the of the electors
 For number of years this new spaper advocated the referendum upon such matters believing that the people themselves who have to pay the bills, ought to be suited about proposed and possibly costly changes nicipal methods.
 For long time the organization of which Mayor Will son member opposed this reasonable method of set ting public questions.
 Mayor Wilson's position is therefore distinct con cession to public demand It marks vast improvement his anteeecon and inaugural position, which that large debt should be created will nil far the people were concerned
 The readers of this newspaper will not be surprised at this notable victory for the referendum They have become accustomed to finding The Farmer in the front of progress leading the demand for democracy city, state and nation
 This is not the first time they have seen opposition give way to support and democratic policies with both the small and the large conquering violent foes in politics and journalism
 The triumphs of tax equalization in manufacturing values of the principle of direct primaries and of other reforms are too recent to be forgotten 4L
 The'question comes upon the wisdom of the may pr's proposals The creation of debt of $2000OOO serious matter Some of the projects proposed by the mayor have already been adversely considered Their wisdom may be open to doubt These questions upon which this newspaper will shed much light it can not for the purpose of arbitrarily preventing ssg any policy project but to aid and assist it's read CTS ln forming wise judgments upon evidence.

BRYAN TELLS DANIELS THE
 WEST IS SAFE
WARNS HIM ABOUT CoNCEDING NEBRASKA OR OTHER STATES
 TO THE ENEMY.

Sea Girt, N. J.. Aug. 21-William Jennings Bryan took hand in the conduct of the Democratic National campaign long enough yesterday to send message to Josephus Daniels, chairman of the Democratic Campaign Committees Publicity Bureau, warn ing him against the issuance of state ments conceding such Western States as Nebraska, Colorado. and Utah to the Republicans.
 MT. Daniels could noteat first make out what the warning meant, but he found that dispatches had been sent out from Sea Girt to Western news papers declaring that he had brought to the Little White House the result of canvass of the National Commit tee. which showed ten States against Gov. Wilson
 'It doesn't sound like you to be con- ceding anything to the enemy wrote MT, Bryan from West Virginia, where he is busy on the Chalatauqua circuit, '1et alone my own State of Ne braska' ''
 MT. Bryan declared that if the Ma tional committee had information that Colorado and Utah were against Will son, the information was all wrong. He said that everywhere where he ap- peared on the lecture platform and mentioned Gov. Wilson there was in- | From the Far West, he said, all of his letters were enthusiastic in prom ises of support, and indicated that Wilson sentiment predominated. As to Nebraska, he said. he was certain the Republicans had no chance to carry it.
 MT. Bryan was not the only Dem- ocrat who took MT. Daniels to task because of his supposed interview
 Mayor James Dahlman of Omaha, who is an anti-Bryan man, wrote fully as confident as MT. Bryan that Ne braska was for Wilson and objected to it being assigned to the enemy.
 From. Utah came this telegram:
 What the blankety blankety blank do you mean? Utah is for Wilson. We object to being conceded away
 Mir Daniels over the telephone dic.- tated statement last night declaring that the messages from the West, and MT. Bryan's message of warning. had all originated from q totally spurious interview.

 Today who will maintain that there is beauty in physical inferiority? When 95 per cent. of the women are fitting themselves to baLg at type writers all day, to teach domestic arts, to serve the sick in hospitals, the nla- jority of them must be on their rect much of the time.
 Under this strain the time will come when the woman with tiny feet will house with frail underpdnning, as disproportionate, inharmonious.
 Foot binding as practiced in China has long been scorned as barbar1sm. Yet the practice of wearing pointed shoes by both women and men is the same thing, often painful and enfee- bling.
 What agonies the girl with six sized shoe has undergone in past years. She approached the shoe store to be. fitted as if she were being haul ed up in police court for some moral turpftude. Happily for her saner day is coming.
 The normal foot for men is probably about an eight size. As the average female height can only be about ten per cent below the normal male height, it is likely that from view point of strict proportion a six size shoe is little below the normal for women instead of above.

 Of the issues that Col. Roosevelt has threatened to drive home to Gov. Wi1- son and smoke him out" Gov. Wi1- son took up another one yesterday in a speech at the Interstate Fair Grounds at Trenton before 1000 mem bers Of the Mercer County Democratic League.
 The Governor gave his views of what and what he thought of a man who tried to "sit on the fence" in the pres ence of this specific issue, taking nc firm position upon 1t.

'The time has come when men who seek public office must de clare themselves for or against the special privilege and the interests, ol else declare themselves for the people election. This is Democratic year not because we want it to be Demo- cratic year. but because America is responding to the impulses that are stirring the whole world, that has just given up the republic in China.
 And nowhere in this awakening is it possible for special privilege to withstand the power of public opinion You remember that here in New Jer- sey under the old system small groups of men nominated candidates for of flee, then named the men who were to count the votes, and so controlled the processes of legislation. There were men who called themselves Democrats in this bipartisan alliance, but they did not represent the rank and file of the Democratic party any more than the Republican members represented the rank and file of the Republican party. Any man who makes a busi- ness of politics will make a. deal with the other side. When I became Gov ernor of New Jersey I hadn't been in politics long enough to promise things I did not intend to carry out"

TWO SPLENDID CITIZENS

This is the land of opportunity. In the countries of the old world per- son born into given walk of life is pretty sure to stay there. Exceptions occur, but they are not numerous ir relation to population. Tn this coun- try, however, there is still a chance for men of ability to rise from the ranks to positions of great affluence authority or power. These chances are more numerous here than any where. except in Australia, New zea- land, Africa and Canada.
 Two citizens of Bridgeport recently passed away are examples of the fa- voring environment which America furnishes to her gifted sons. Jesse B. Cornwall and Frank J Mulcahy .who passed away within 3 few hours of each other began as poor boys. and rose to positions oi ununsual industrial power.

FIRST THINGS

The movement for an eight-hour working day, which has now spread all over the industrial world and has won success through legislative en- actments in many countries, had it's beginning in Baltimore 46 years ago today, when a convention of represen- tatives of organized labor bodies made the first demand for an eight hour day. Thirty-six states of the Union now have eight-hour laws of some kind or another. The most general application of the statutes Is to pub lie works, mines and srneiters and to train deGpa tchers.
 The royal house of Bernadotte. which has ruled over the destinies of Sweden for century, had it's begin ming 102 years ago today, when Mar shal Bernadotte of France was cf1os- an prince royal of Sweden. The son of a peasant, immediately became king in fact and later in name.

DEATH OF GENERAL BOOTH

The death of General William Booth, at s3, removes man who has been powerful for good, since his boyhood. At Is he began to preach to the very poor of London Later he established the Salvation Army, which he built into great organization, with bar racks in 54 countries During the last few years of his life his eyesight fail- ed, but he continued his labors with industry. and resignatio to his fate.
 The pith of his genius was his mighty desire to aid the impoverish- ed, the drunken and the criminal. The human timber that was rejected from the social structure he tried to re- generate. The net result of his labors was to restore to usefulness thousands upon thousands of men.
 He differed from some other refor- mers in relying solely upon the grace of God for the saving of his friend less But he did, nevertheless, supple ment his efforts to convert the sinner, by seeking to establish him in a friendly environment, and one calcu- lated to assist him in material way.
 The Salvation army barracks scat tered over the world were so many : refugees for the homeless. Special quarters were established for unfor- tunate women None were too mean. sco broken, or too steeped in offense to be unwelcome at these places. The methods of the army, as General Booth established them. were spectacular. To many we'll meaning persons these methods made no appeal, but they were adapted to the work General Booth wished to do.
