DAVIS Herald.

A high military authority tells in
graphic and thrilling phrases what war
with Mexico would mean. This famous
writer describes the modifying of armies,
the life in camp and the awful impact of
contending forces on fields of carnage.
All the lights and shades through which
soldiers pass are delineated by the hand
of a master.

Real confessions of cocaine fiend.
After great difficulty story has been
obtained which rivals De Quincey's
Confessions of an Opium Eater" The
story tells in minute detail of the fall,
step by step, of once prominent Phil
adelphia lawyer. To-day he is an un-
kempt, tragic figure-a slave to flakes. "
He has no ambition; he has but one de-
SIRE more flakes" His story is one of
stirring realism and forcibly demon
strates that truth is stranger than fic-
ton"

Political Notes

Early in the field, as a candidate for
Sheriff, is Clark b. Rogers, former
coroner, living at Bordentown. He has
definitely announced his candidacy. A.
Engle Haines, of Lumberton, has not
yet been heard from positively, but there
is not much doubt that he will be on
hand when the proper time comes. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Haines was
very favOrably considered at the last
election for Sheriff and would have
made strong run had he allowed the
use of his name. William T. Stecher is
also said to be in the field again, feeling
that he was not properly treated in the
last campaign and he is said to want
chance to make good. 1t is quite early,
and there is no doubt there will be any
quantity of candidates when the time
for definite action arrives.
Friday of next week the old system of
governing the county will be resumed
and instead of the five men who have
been attending to that duty there will
be 81. There are many conflicting items
in the laws which govern the Board of
Freeholders and there should be COM
plete turnover in the legal department
of the body. For years it has been the
custom to do work on the guessing
system. Anything would seem to go,
and considerable did go that had to be
brought back, with the probability that
some went that will never again be heard
of. The idea of doing hundreds of thou
sands of dollars of business in the man.
ner that has prevailed in the past is
ridiculous. Even now it is reported
there is law that will give the members
of the Board of Freeholders $500 each
year instead of the 81 per diem, but no.
body knows whether it is true or other
wise. Good law and sound common
sense are greatly needed with the incom
ing administration.

UPHELD by decision of the Supreme
Court the Lackawanna Railroad Com
pany has given notice that it will not
honor for rides on it's trains orders for
passes now issued by the state of New
Jersey for numerous employees and
clerks. This corporation took the stand
it now reaffirms early in the year. 1t
sees no reason why hundreds of men,
merely because they are employed by
the state, should not pay their fare as
other railroads running through the
state will follow the example of the
Lackawanna to great extent. Possibly
some of them may hesitate about cut
ting off the free rides of the Governor,
Judges, and Others; possibly the law will
not allow them to, as there is a provis-
ion somewhere which mentions officials
who are entitled to ride free under the
conditions by which the roads received
their charters. But it is quite certain
that there will be reduction in the
number of passes which are now en-
Joyed by many passengers. Some of
them have business at the capital once a
week. The members of the Senate and
Assembly go to that place during the
session and some of the clerks go there
daily. AT other times the passes are
used for pleasure, or for profit, in
saving railroad fares of the holders
There have been instances where the
valued pasteboard has been loaned or
sold. With the privilege of free trans
portation taken away Governors day"
will not be nearly so attractive as in the
past, and Trenton will be less alive than
it usually is at certain times in the
week. Nobody will deny that it will be
hardship for the members of the Legis-
lature and the clerks and other employees
TO pay their railroad fares, but that may
be overcome by increasing their salaries
or by having them spend more time
legislating than they do now, and not
be content with one day week. 1t is a
question whether the gentlemen referred
W AtAF y AAOo eAAN AAe5AAo w NC CeiiltCi llCC
during the session of the Legislature,
but there does not seem to be any reason
why they should be so favored during
the entire year. In Pennsylvania a law
has been enacted which deprives men,
bers of families of railroad employees
from being given free transportation
Ministers who have been carried at re-
duced rates have also been put on the
''cut off, list, although a decision has
been made which will allow the latter to
be carried at half rates, provided the
tickets are not used entirely within the
state, but are to convey the passenger to
any station in continuous interstate
journey. The railroads are continually |
crying hard times and are asking that
freight rates may be advanced. 1t is
generally conceded that passenger trains
pay little, if any, profit, and it does
seem as if there was much justice in the |
action of the railroad to aid in cutting |
down its expense account by reducing
the number of free riders.

Mr.. Peacock pressed for a verdict of
not guilty as a case had not been proven
beyond a reasonable doubt.
Judge Homer said that certain facts in
the case were as plain as daylight. He
wanted to give defendant the benefit of
very reasonable doubt, and said he would
think the matter over before rendering
judgment

TUESDAY, DECEMBER %, 1918

APPARENTLY impervious to the car
toons and jibes thrust at him on nation
al affairs, President Wilson has tossed
off the criticisms with an air that inn
piled that he was above noticing such
things. But there was a meeting of a
club in Westinghouse of those affairs
where everybody seems to be a shaft for
the hits that are sent forth and nobody
is immune-and song that was sent
out there got under the skin of the Presi-
dent. He was at home afflicted with
the grip and this may have had some
thing to do with his getting ''peeved.'
II he had been present there is no telling
what would have happened. At any
rate he ordered an investigation of the
song and its singers, who happened to
be army and navy officers. The New
York San thinks the statement that the
song was one that had been brought out
at the meeting of the club for thirteen
years should appeal to the President.
Roosevelt and Taft did not see anything
wrong in it, they sat at the tables and
listened to it. The San thinks that all
who, for thirteen years, have been sing
ing the suddenly Objectionable song
should be brought before the tribunal
that is investigating the affair.
CHARGING the grand jurors of Essex
y, last week, Chief Justice Gum
mere urged upon each member the
sanctity of the oath he had taken: ''the
counsel of the state, your fellows and
your own you will keep secret" The
Chief Justice intimated he had heard re-
ports of outside interference with men,
bers of grand juries as well as of leaks
from the jury room. Both of these he
said must cease. What the particular
instances may be that prompted Justice
Gummere to thus speak are not known
but they are probably the same that
prevail in every community. 1t is safe
to say that it is rarely a grand jury is
drawn that some member is not sought
and attempts made to secure clemency
for persons whose offences are to be pass
ed upon. And as to leaks" well they
have been SO frequent as to make that
part of the oath farce. 1t has never
been any trouble to get some informa-
ton of what transpired in a grand jury
room. Not very long ago THE News
called attention to a case that had been
considered by grand jury and made an
innocent remark which was at once
taken up by member of that body who
came as near as possible to telling what
happened in the room. When the grand
jurors were selected by the sheriff it was
hard work to secure the names of any of
the members in advance but once sworn
in the parties desiring to secure favors
got busy. 1t is even easier now under
the new law. In THE NEWS of last week
was published the names of the men
who are liable to be called as grand
jurors and while there is nothing by
which it can be told which twenty-three
will serve, the publicity gives chance
for interested persons to take chances
and speculate on the result. There is
only one safeguard to the sanctity of the
secrets of the grand jury room and that
is for every member, prospective or
actual, to repel all advances and to adj
wise the court of all attempts to influence
action.
