Only 1897 Pass Election Tests

Out of about $500 men nominated by
the county chairmen throughout the
State for the position of election officers
only 1,037 passed the State civil service
examination and are eligible for appoint
ment to the boards of registry and cleo
ton.
Less than hall the men nominated APP
peared to take the examination. OF the
number who took the test lis failed to
pass, SO that the total number who took
the examination was /, 1852.
A list Of about 6, 100 eligibles was car
ried over from last year and those names
were certified this year by the State
Civil Service Commission to the county
boards of election, together with those
who passed this year, so that the total
list of eligibles is about 7,l37.
The total number of election districts
in the State this year is 1884, and as
each district requires four officers the
total number of officers needed is 1886
Not all the election officers have to be
appointed this year, however, as under
the Geran act the terms Of only two
members of each board, one OF each
party, expire this year. In the new dis
tricts, of course, all four members will
have to be appointed. The total num-
Der OF election officers to be appointed
therefore is approximately 300.

Texas, where a number OF the scientific
men OF the bureau are now at work, max
ing a survey of the oyster beds in that

Morality and the Fashions

From the Syracuse Post-Standard.
Fashions III women's dress are a con-
slant subject of comment some times
for their absurdity, Which calls forth
satire; some times for their unhygienic
character, which calls for warnings
from the physician; some times for
Their immodesty, which may excuse a
protest Of another sort.
The style of dress at pre sent chiefly
i'll vogue has been before the public
long enough fol is all to grow accus-
toned TO it as a fashion, and the pro-
test against it which'lately appeared in
a medical journal on the ground c. i'm
morality would have come with more
force, perhaps, had it been mac e earlier.
Laughing at the hobble skirt and max
ing burlesques of ii on the stage has
had no effect, 80 superior is fashion 10
ridicule, so foolish the idea that the
taste Of male humanity has any inf1u-
ence ulOn the type of the thing that
women choose TO wear.
But that the fashion is immoral in
It's tendency is a charge much more
serious and beyond doubt it is easier to
make dress immoral with the present
fashion than it las been i'll the past. 1t
depends entilely upon the wearer That
women can clothe then selves comfort
ably and with modesty according TO
the present day dictates of fashion is as
indisputable as that women can, if they
choose, dress themselves so that the
vulgar stare of the stleet corner loatsr
will follow them wherever they go. No
woman thus clad can fail to know what
lmpre ssion she is creating; no person
seeing a woman thus clad cali help sus-
pecting that she has deliberately chosen
to make herself IN immodest spectacle.

Salem, N. j., Aug. IA, 1912.
To the Residents of Salem County,.
1t has been stated in the papers cir
culating throughout our County and
The First Judicial District tnat l would
be a candidate for the nomination of
Congressman from our District. | have
been urged by a number of friends and
acquainIaEces In the District to enter
the race for Congress-, and have had
local support promised to me all over
the District, and some how the idea
has become more OF less general that 1
intend to be a candidate. l think that
it is only fair to tile residents of Salem
County that l state my position i'll the
matter.
Last fall l solicited lie support of all
the voters OF u County and promised
them that if elscted L would carry out
the trust which they committed into
my hands for a period OF three years to
the best of my aO lily for the welfare of
our County and The State at large. /
feel that | am ana have tried to be in
my position as Senator of the County,
the representative not of patty, but
having been elected l am the represent
alive Of all the people of the County in
the senate, and consequently have a
duty to discharge toward all the County
to the best of my ablll.y wi b a view 10
their best welfare ana highest good.
1t does not appear TO he lair 10 the
voter of the County, who committed TO
Inc a trust to perform during the period
OF three years upon the promise on my
part that | would perform 1t to the best
of my ability-a trus. Which l sought
from them, and which they did not
thrust upon me, to lay the same down
a the end OF Ii year purely for The
sake Of pr r>onal ambition. For this
reason l Lave decided not 10 become a
candidate and " lematn III the Seuate.
/ also feel That L cdn be of more service
TO our County and to our STATE by re.
naming i'll the State and try ing to be
true to the trust which has been COM
mitted to me.
Whether OF not l could be elected to
Congress at this time is a question
which only an election could determine.
Many friends and acquaintance all
over the District have assured me it is
not only poss.bl this fall but exceed
ingly probable thai l might be elected,
but, however, this may be, my feeling
is that | am justified in the course
which l have taken and that it is my
duty to remain i'll the Senate, and when
duty calls there is III other course
which a person can take.
Again thanking the voters of the
County for the support which they gave
me last Year, and assuring the residents
OF The County, that l shall endeavor to
carry out the trust which has been com.
mitled to me Tor the best interests, /
am, Very truly,

Opened S chooI Houses To Wider Use

In the August American Magazine
appears an article about Edmund j..
Ward, creator of the school social CELL
ter idea which has spread to many
states Following is an extract from the
article.
"The Rochester School Board had in
hand an appropriation of five thousand
dollars to pay the expense of beginning
the wider use of the public school build
ings and grounds, for a blind man could
see that all that half-idle, conveniently
located public property should be put to
some larger use, and they were looking
for a man to take charge.
"Mr. Ward had been director of the
toughest recreation field in Buffalo and
President of the Directors Association
there, acting pastor OF the Church of the
Covenant in Washington, organizer OF
the Mems Club in Silver Creek; had seen
eight years of football and other athletics
had won the highest oratorical honors at
at college and thrown the champion
heavyweight of Cornell. He spoke OF
some of these experiences. Then-he
remembered. I'D walk across the con-
tinent to work on that job he said, but
l can't take it; Pm black-listed.' And
he told why he was off the faculty at
Hamilton.
"That would be the end Of the story if
the president of the School Board hadn't
been George M. Forbes. DR.. Forbes look
ed Mr.. Ward. Then he said: You've
had the training. You see the POSSIBLE
ties. Ii in addition to these qualifications
we can get a man who is willing to sacri-
fee himself for what he believes, | think
he is the man we want. If you'll prove
that last statement as to why you're leav-
ing, l will favor your appointment by the
board
."That was how Mr.. Ward became the
hired man of all the people i'll the city,
not simply the hired man, the minister
of one variety OF the good people, the
professor of few selected youth, but the
community hired man, OIL the job of SER
wing the folk in getting their moneys
worth in acquaintance and understanding
in wholesome recreation and the Joy OF
democracy.
"And at the end of two years the peo-
| Piles school buildings all over Rochester,
some of them equipped with gymnasium,
library, games, motion picture machines,
were being used as common citizens, COM
mon council chambers, centers of neigh
borhood; and it was demonstrated that
| people OF all creeds, parties and incomes
are just folks, and enjoy getting together
as they used to in the little red school
house back home. The American insti-
tuition had developed the Social Center.
ut was at about this time that Cover
nor Charles E. Hughes spoke at a citi-
zens' banquet in Rochester and said of
Mr.. Wards work:
" am more interested in what you are
doing and in what it stands for than in
anything else in the world. You are but
t~ressing the foundations OF democracy.

The United States Senate has passed
a bill permitting American ships to go
thru the Panama Canal free without
asking the consent of England or any
other foreign nation. In financial cir
Giles there is a cry that there should be
more currency with which to transact
business. Currency is that which pass
es current i'll the place OF real lawful
money, a promise to pay money. More
currency is called for, not real lawful
money. When the u. S. Senate gets
independent enough TO coin ali the law
full money needed wi lhout waiting for
the aid and consent Of any other nation
we may begin to feel they ale entirely
free from British financial domination.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one a to cure deafness,
and that, is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
nearing. and when it is entirely closed.
nammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
nearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

In dealing with the complicat.

reform of our banking and cur

ought to consult very many per
sons besides the bankers, not be-
cause we distrust the bankers,
but because they do not neces-
sarily comprehend the business
of the country, Notwithstanding
they are indispensable servants
of it and may do d vast deal to
make 1t hard or easy. No mere
