Rule Of the People.

Mrs William Al Eilicotts little aneednte of
Woodrow Wilson told in The Evening Sun yes
terday, is interesting in that it shows that the
Democratic candidate believes in popular rule
in private well In public. 80 So =*'S
To many individuals. the politician who ex-
presses and reiterates his belief in the rule of
the people smacks somewhat OF the demagogue
They do not believe in ii themselves and they
can't understand how any other sensible man
They haven't read history Alright No system
Of government is perfect but the faults of
Democracy are far less than those of any
other form devised by man. Where any class
ts left to rule unhampered II goes wrong. When
cass clashes against class and individual against
individual and the interests of all parts OF the
population make themelves felt: when every
man is moved to fight for his interests In proper
ton he feels himself likely to be injured or
helped; out of this clash and struggle and
contention Is likely to come sum total of opin-
ION that is wise and helpful and just Demo-
crazy is government by such consensus of opin-
ion AMI that Is what Wilson means by rule of
the people.
He and most otser thoughtful in this
country are sincere believers In it.-Baltimore

About haf the increase causes suffering to

is due to the tariff and the trusts.
Relief can be found by lowering the tarirr

Roosevelt and Taft not only offer no relief, but
deny that the tarif Is the chief cause of the
unnecessary increase in the cost of living.

water was finally shut off.
When Mrs. Wilson returned to her

She heated some water and placing her
feet in it sought to draw the frost from
them. After the bath she went to bed.
In a short time pain compelled her to
SEND far a physician. He ordered the
woman taken to the hospital. Gan
creme had set in and an immediate
operation was decided upon.

Water Clerk and Head OF De-

change Personalities.

Directing to statements contained IN
the annual report of Frank Scheiman,
water clerk of Orange, that more than
half the water pumped into the mains
of the city is wasted, Isaac Travis,
superintendent of the water depart

meeting of the water committee of the
Common Council last night. He ac-
cused him of not knowing what he was
talking about 'and trying to put the

Travis and Schieman are two of the
oldest officials of the city, both in age
and point of service. and much excite
ment marked their argument. Person
alities were exchanged and the discus
sion reached fever heat. Mr.. Travis
declared that Schieman had no busl-
ness to make the statements, as they
pertained to matters outside the ONCE
of the department, and Mr.. Schieman.
in reply, shouted that If he had not
made them the taxpayers would never
had known anything about the work
ings of the department.
you don't know anything shouted
Mr.. Schieman to Mr.. Travis; you
never did and you never will" Mr..
Travis jumped to his feet and asked
the committee If the clerk had any
authority to make references to mat
ters outside the workings of the de-
'partment, and the members replied
that he had not.
Mr.. Travis then moved that Mr..
Schieman be told what he should do,
but before anything further developed
Schieman angrily shouted thai he had
taken an oath to perform his duties
to the best of his ability, and said
that in his estimation Travis did not
known anything about the workings
of the department, and 1t was up to
him as an employee to make the facts
known. Councilman Freeman, who
had stood between the two men, jok-
ingly interrupted the exchange of the
repartee and asked the aged men If
they would cease arguing until he
went home and got a pair of boxing
gloves.
This incensed Mr.. Schieman and he
declared he has been subjected to much
abuse and said he would not stand for
it any longer. From then on the men
continued to relate the trouble that has
arisen between them until Councilman
Smith finally raped his gavel and the
argument stopped.

LOOKING FOR SKIN
FOR sCALDEO BABE
Grating Operation Must Be
Performed on Two-year-
old Boy.

T-wo-year-old Leo Rikofsky, of 34z
John street, East Newark, is today
being prepared for the ordeal of a
skin-grafting operation. The tot re-
ceived what is known as a third
degree burn. The muscles of his back
are exposed as the result of falling
into a tub of boiling water.
The operation itself is of little mo-
ment compared with the matter of
where the necessary skin is coming
from. The father and mother of the
youngster are both small people, and
the latter has work of a laborious char
acter. Mrs. Rikofsky has other chill
dren, and her household duties are
many. Neither feel that they can
spare the necessary euticle. Leo, how
ever, is soon to be removed to a New
ark hospital.
Left by his mother in Charge of Mrs.
Victoria Galinski, an aunt, the young
ster romped about the house. His
curiosity aroused when he saw steam
coming from a tub, he toppled forward
into the boiling suds. Mrs. Galinski
heard the splash and snatched the
child from the tub.
She removed its clothes, and with
them came a piece of skin more than
three inches wide and four inches long.
She ran screaming with the youngster
to a nearby druggist. Instead of sum-
moning a local doctor, the druggist
summoned medical help from Newark,
and it was fully two hours before the
physician arrived. He did all posi-
BILE 70 alleviate the pain. DIR. T. Leo
Callan, Of Harrison, was finally called
in and assumed charge Of the case.
The baby continually holds its hands
over it's face. 1t suffers severe pain
when it moves either arm.
