The Court of Errors and Appeals
has set aside the conviction and
granted a new trial to Allison NJ. Mac
Farland, who is under sentence to be
electrocuted for the murder of his
wife in Newark. 1t was charged that
he poisoned her The ground for
granting new trial was the impro-
per use of the famous Bunny letters
as evidence in the case.

Some of the regular Rebuplican poll
tieians at the State House are charg-
ing the New Jersey delegates to the
Republican National Convention with
unfaithfulness because they refused
to vote for the nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt. One of the Regulars said
today: The New Jersey representa-
tiyes at Chicago were specifically Sc
lected as Roosevelt men and they were
in duty bound to vote for him whether
he wanted them to or not | think
they betrayed their trust
Two or three of the stalwart Repub-
licans from this state who attended
the Chicago Convention as spectators
are claiming Colonel Roosevelt showed
himself to be more of a dictator than
any of the so-called bosses in the
party ranks in this state against whom
the Progressives have raised their
voices. 1t is charged by these men
that Roosevelt absolutely bossed his
delegates and that his dictorial me-
thods became obnoxious to some of
his followers.
The Regulars are finding fault along
another line, and that is the large
contributions made by the Progressive
leaders, such as $2500 by former Sem
ator Colby, and $500 by former Gov
ernor Fort One of the Regulars said
today that the intent of the corrupt
practices act was clearly against such
large contributions, but through an
oversight the amount that candidate
for delegate to a National Convention
could contribute was not specified in
the law. 'If the Regulars had vio-
lated the spirit of law in that man
ner," he continued, 'the Progressiyes
would have set up a tremendous howl
the way the law was being violated.
AS this letter is written the Wilson
boomers at Baltimore are doing their
utmost in behalf of the Governor for
the nomination for President. The
outlook is that there are only two fac
tors which may defeat Governor Will
son. One of these is that William
Jennings Bryan should sweep the
Convention and himself win the nomi-
nation as he did in Chicago in 1896.
The other factor that can beat the
Governor is a combination of Charles
F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall
in New York and a coterie of big
money kings who think that Wilson
is too progressive. New Jersey has
more than a thousand Democrats in
the Convention City looking to the
interests of the Governor. One OF the
features of the Convention is the little
influence that former Senator James
Smith, Jr. and James R. Nugent, the
leaders Of the Anti-Wilson move In
this state have among the delegates.

the government.
The United States spends annually
sos, 100000 for the maintenance of
standing army, SIPS, 100000 for it's
naval establishment, and $4,000 900
annually for diplomatic representa-
tives abroad But the United States
government spends nothing annually
for good roads, The Democratic
House, however, has appropriated
$l6,0OO,000 annually for improvement
OF public highways, and if the Repub-
! llcan Senate does not chloroform the
bill, Congress will have inaugurated
a policy that will permit the farmers
OF the nation to receive a just share
of the benefits of the vast government
expenditures.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
If the Republicans are swept from
power on November 5 because of their
failure to keep tariff promises, it will
not be the first time that the tariff
operated to the same end against the
party of protection.
During the war the tariff had been
elevated to the skies but afterwards
the Democrats tried to have it redue-
ed. By 1880 the Republicans had to
notice the demand They promised
downward revision but in 1882 passed
a bill making only slight reductions.
The public got mad just like it is now
over the Payne-Aldrich bill and in.
1884 elected Cleveland
When the Republicans got into pow
er again they boosted the tariff which
had been lowered by the Democrats.
Prices went up, the rank and file be-
came indignant and in 1892 again
made Grover Cleveland President.
Under the present system of excess
i've protection, those who toll are
each year finding it more difficult to
make living, while the comparative
handful of millionaires who chiefly
reap the benefit of this toll spend
their time in idleness and dissipation,
their fortunes meanwhile increasing
in almost exact proportion to the in
crease in cost of living.
The result is that many Americans
especially the hardworking poor, are
becoming plainly disguised with the
way things are going; disgusted even
with this form of government, and
are turning to socialism.
This feeling on the part of the
wage Garner is simply history repeat
ing itself. Extravaganza and poverty,
the history of the world shows; never
made good bed-fellows in republics
designed as cradles of liberty 1t
is obvious that the high cost of living
problem should be solved before the
unrest grows greater. The earlier it
is settled, the better for the repub-
lie Which party will solve it, the
Republican party or the Democratic
party? The Republican theory has
always been that the heavier the tar
iff tax on the things eaten, worn or
used by the people. the better for the
people. The Democratic theory is
that to reduce taxation is to reduce
prices. The people must choose be-
tween the two policies, the policy of
protection or the policy of merely
enough tariff to raise sufficient reye-
nue. to meet the actual expenses of

One cold winter day Abraham Lin
coin came upon a poor man who had
been hired to chop up an old hut into
lirewood The poor fellow was bare
foot. thinly clothed and shIvering from
the cold. and he was so weak that he
could hardly raise the AK.
Lincoln stopped the man in his work
and said. How much are you getting
for this job?"
"A dollar" said the woodchopper,
"and with it must buy myself a pair
Of shoes"
You go inside and warm yourseN
for few minutes" said Lincoln as he
took the Ak from the woodChopper.
Then he swung the ak nightly and
soon had the old hut split up into kin
dlings. He had done it so quickly that
the man could hardly believe his eyes.
The poor woodchOpper received his
money and bought his shoes and never
forgot the kindness of Abraham Lin

SLEEPERS ARE NiE!-c,a,:
AT CAMBRIDGE CHURCH
Pastor Says They Are Harmless and
Don't Critieise Sermon.

Sleeping men are welcome at Union
Congregational church, Cambridge
Mass, Of which the Rev. Allan A.
Stockdale is pastor Or. Stockdale says:
TT isn't because men are afraid they
will go to sleep In church that so many
Of them do not attend, but they hate
to be nudged by their wives and are
afraid OF the consequences after they
get home.
Let them go to sleep II they want
to. They are harmless when they are
asleep. Do not poke or nudge or pinch
them. Sleeping men in the pews when
l am preaching do not worry me at all.
On the other hand. they often cause me
pleasure. The sleeping man can't find
anything to complain about in my ser
mon or write indignant letters to me
afterward
There are many reasons why men
go to sleep. Many Of them have been
hustling during the week, and when
they come into a warm church and
restful pews they can't avoid sleeping.
Heavy air and heavy sermons are also
responsible. The music is soothing
too. Let the man fall asleep. The
rest will do him good perhaps"

About ST. Valentino.

How our simple valentine customs
ever came to be connected with so So
Der and reyered a person as st. Nalen-
tine has ever been mystery. There
are many theories as to how this came
about, but the most probable one is
that the custom descends from the an
Client Romans and can be traced to
their festivals of the Lupercalia,
which came on the 18th Of February.
At this celebration names of young
women were put into a box, from
which they were drawn by young men.
The fathers of the church put their
veto on these personal drawings and
in place OF the young women's names
substituted the names of the saints,

saint for the coming year. This change

1911 Sale of Red Cross Seals Estab-

Greatly increased income for the
fight against tuberculosis resulted from
the sale of the Red Cross seals in the
Christmas season.
Four hundred thousand dollars worth
Of these seals which were purchased
by the public and placed on the bacl;
Of letters last December have been
distributed. This means 40O00,OOO
seals at l cent each, an increase of To-
100000, or 33 1-3 per cent, more than
the amount disposed Of during the hol-
idays Of 1910.
The seals were sold under the gen
eral direction Of the National Rcd
Cross and the National Association For
the Prevention Of tuberculosis. These
organizations reserve together 1919 per
cent. The cost Of printing the pastors
and various charges are paid out of
this allowance, and what remains OF
that percentage is divided between the
two national organizations for their
