Members Of the board Of health said
today they expected to make the same
recommendation TO the city council for

before. The council again will refer it
to the finance committee, where it was
argued at three long meetings and
finally referred back 10 the board Of

The instructions of the finance conn

bers of the board expect to reduce the
cost OF the plant they want from $44o,-
600 to about $230,oo0. They also wiz
consider the $4,000 bid of the Forsyth
Crenators Company
Another grave danger arising from
the garbage heaps in the city has been
cited to the board of health by parents
whose children cluster about the un
healthy piles searching in the hlthE
refuse fol coins or leather scraps from
which they make "sIings.
At the corner of Greensferry avenue
and Ashby street more than two dozen
boys were using the vicinity of the
dump heaps as Fairgrounds.

The Issues of This Campaign

factCrily and more generally borne out
by the history of modern Europe and
the founding of this democratic repub-
lie than that the progressive evolution
of men in the matter of politics rs from
diversity of pribileges toward an
equality of rights That is, that the
past progress has been all in this di-
reCtiCn since the maximum of diver
sity prevailed in the aspect Of the in
dividuai lord and the individual serf.
And if this be the case, it cannot be
an unreasonable conclusion that if suf-
ficient time be allowed for the evolu-
ton. the progress Of change will con-
tinue TO go on, accelerated by the dis
semination of knowledge ands educa-
tiCn, until some ultimate condition is
evolved. And that ultimate condition
can only be at the point where diver
sity Of privilege disappears and every
individual in the state is entitled to
identically the same opportunities from
the cradle TO the grave as regards life,
liberty, property and education. In
short. such an ultimate condition as
will secure TO every man from womb

vantages which creation has provided
for the race and his share of the wealth
created by defunct generations while

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR NEXT

3. He stards for trust legislation
which WI prevent the control of
prices through any sort OF monop-
oily.
4. He stands for the income tax and
believes that wealth should share
the burdens as we'll as the bless
ings of government
5. He stands for the rights of labor
and the protection of the man who
earns his bread by the sweat of his
brow, as shown in his record as
governor of New Jersey.

WOODROW WILSON IS DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

they would concede Wilson about $40

Simple eating is urged by Berlin
newspaper as reform that should be
aimed at in Germany for the salvation
of society. The present extravaganza
in dining, it is asserted, threatens fl
nanciaI impoverishment as well as di-
gestive ruin. Why is 1t that Germany
has such famous spas? The tntima-
ton is made that the reason lies in
the circumstance that Germany has
so many gluttons, who go to the wa
tering places, penitent in the spring
and summer, to make amends for the
over-eating and overwhelming of which
they have been guilty during the win
ter. The Berlin paper says: 1t would
be a genuine public service on the
part of the leading society personages
If they would begin by practical ex-
amples to wage war on the sensual
luxuriousness Of modern entertaining,
as far as the culinary end of it is con-
cerned. Only by return to simple
and sensible dinners can we avert
genuine economic and physical perils.
Circumspection in the same direction
would not go amiss in the United
States. There has been growth of
extravaganza in the outlay for luxu-
ries of the table. Many men of means
have eaten themselves into evil phys
ical condition.

A Chicago doctor counts speed In

suffer, particularly in the business

without thought for the abused di-

questionably right, says the Indianap-

care little about what they eat-this
in spite of the fact that they possess
hotels and restaurants in which all
the Injuries of the world are served
and markets which supply wonder
full variety of products. Notwithstand-

they are not fastidious as to quality.
They have their preferences in foods,
of course, but if what they especially
care for is not Immediately available,
they accept what is at hand, gulp it
down, dash off and forget within ten
minutes what it was they ate. Quick

time In the business district in all
cities and have an enormous patron
age. They came in response to de-

blame because their patrons insist
upon eating in the shortest possible
time, nor is the food they serve nee
essarily at fault.

closing of his undergraduate days at
Princeton by breaking into the Inter-
national Review, in its issue of Au-
gust, 1879, with an article entitled
Cabinet Government in the United
SIXTIES" The article contrasted Brit
ish and American systems of govern
ment, pointing out advantages in the
British.
In the fall of 1873 Wilson took up
tie law course at the University Of
Virginia, where he INDUCED in long,
dropping moustache and in member
ship in the glee club. "She Sleeps, My
Lady Sleeps" is shown by old pro-
grams of university concerts to have
been one of Wilson's tenor solos.
In May, 1882, he carried his law di-
ploma and an oratorical prize to At
lanta, Ca, where he opened an office
for the practice of law. The office,
however, did not prosper, and after 10
| leisurely months he gave up. The At
lanta experiment, however, was far
from eventless. Although litigants
gave him nothing to do, he was not
idle. He improved his time by secur-
ing the promise of Miss Ellen Louise
Arson to be his wife The Axons were
prominent Georgia lowlands family.
The young couple were married in
1876.
In the fall of 1885 Mr.. Wilson began
teaching political economy to the girls
of Bryn MaWr. From this institution
he went to Wesleyan university, where
he remained until called to Princeton
in 1890 to occupy the chair of jurispru-
dence and politics. In 1902 he was
elected president of Princeton.

From this time on it was a series of
breaks to the Wilson column. Every
new ballot swelled the total until the
necessary number for a nomination
was annexed by New Jerseys COVER

DR.. Woodrow Wilson was born at
Staunton, Va, on Dec. %, 1856. When
Woodrow was 2 years old his father
took pastorate in Augusta, Ga, and
soon became one of the most noted
ministers of the South. Tommy
Wilson, the Augusta schoolboy, is de-
scribed by Prof. John T. Derby, one
of his teachers, as quiet and exception
ally studious. The most important in
structor of young Wilson, however,
was his father.
The Wilson's moved from Augusta
to Columbia, S. c., in 1870, DR.. Wilson
resigning his pastorate to take the
chair of pastoral and evangelistic the
ology in the Southern Presbyterian
Theological seminary. At Columbia
Tommy attended Charles Parnwelrs
private school. At the age of IL he
entered Davidson college at Davidson,
N. G..
He did not finish the year at David
son, for he fell i'll before examina-
tons came on and was taken to his
home, now at Wilmington, N. c..
where his father had taken a pastor
ate. Here Wilson took things com
paratively easy for year. Except for
tutoring in Greek and a few other
studies that he thought might be nec-

bushels per acre. Wheat and oats will
go 80 to 55 bushels respectively, while
