THE BOYS CORN GROWING CONTEST.
Will terminate in the big corn show in
the Mount Holly High School building
November 20. Prizes valued at over
$500 given by men of the county will
be distributed. The fact of getting 100
bushels of corn to the acre has been re-
allied in this state. 200 bushels is with.
in range of possibility and may be reach
ed this year by the Burlington county
bows who have enrolled in the Agricul-
tural contest, which will terminate as

bushels on one-quarter of an acre. The
average corn crop for this county, accord
ing to the last rural census, is 40 bushels
to the acre. This year al boys are en-
rolled in the contest, and have been
growing corn, potatoes and raising chick

colt, of Cinnaminson as chairman, have

Theatres.
AUDITORIUM, BURLINGTON
1.-THE Spring Maid"

The joyous operetta, 1.-THE Spring
Maid, although in its third successful
season will be seen at the Auditorium
Theatre, Burlington, on Tuesday, Oc-
tober %, with Hattie Fox and Osborne
Clemson in the leading roles of the
Princess Bozena and Prince Aladar.
Both of these favorites scored huge
success last year. Local theatre-goers
will have their first opportunity to see
the romantic opera with its pretty story
of the dashing Prince, who would fiirt,
and the saucy Princess who leads him
on that she may finally teach him a
lesson. 1.-The Spring Maid" is considered
to be nearest TO the musicalized version
of that old but fascinating play, "She
Stops to Conquer, that the world has
ever known. There are sub-plots and
Emergencies in this modern operetta,
but through it all is the romance begun
in mischief and ending as all pretty
love stories should end
CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILA.
Our readers will miss the interesting
notices of the Orpheum Players which
have been published weekly, giving ideas
of the plays to be presented, but there
will not be any more of the publications
for some time, possibly never again
Owing to certain conditions made i'm
perative by the Philadelphia building
authorities changes in the Chestnut
street theatre will have to be made if
the place is to be kept open. The ex-
pense of these Improvements is said to
figure up many thousands of dollars and
it is a question whether it will pay to re-
open the house. Those who have en-
joyed the performances given by the
Orpheum Players will regret the passing
of this favorite theatre.

Water Tax Cut.

The State Public Utility Commission
has made public an order pleasing to the
people of Wildwood. The people win
their protest against the charge of the
Wildwood Water Company for the in
stallation of water meters in houses.
The water company has been charging
property owners for the installation of
water meters. The property owners took
the matter to the utility commission
and the order now issued is as follows:
The New Jersey State Public Utility
Commission orders that from now and
after this date the Wildwood Water
Works Company shall pay the cost of
meter boxes upon the installation of
such boxes.
The board further orders that the
Wildwood Water Works Company shall
make an equitable division of the charge
for the boxes and appurtenances, based
on the cost of such boxes. 1t also de-
termines that the existing rates and
charges are unjust and unreasonable and
fixes the following as just and reason
able: Minimum yearly charges, for
properties containing u rooms or less,
$40; 10 up to Is rooms, $14; IL TO 20, $18;
20 or over supplied by 1-inch meter. $50;

Left $40 for Repairs.

Claiming that his machine had been
damaged by the neglect of another au-
toist, Frank p. Shipp, of Bordentown,
caused the arrest of Matthew l.. Mitchell,
of Baltimore, Md.
Mitchell, who is employed as chauf-
feur for Emanuel Strauss, a wealthy
business man of Pacific and Lombard
streets, Baltimore, is said to have driven
his car into the Shipp machine without
any warming from his horn.
Shipp was driving along the Bruins
wick pike, near GAINESVILLE, Sunday
morning, when the Baltimore mans car
ran into his machine. The Bordentown
mans car was damaged on one side.
Shipp followed Mitchell into Trenton.
where he met Motorcycle Policeman H.
w. Smith and ordered him to arrest the
chauffeur for violating the auto law in
not sounding his horn while passing
him.
When Mitchell was taken to police
headquarters his employer got Judge
Naar on the job and said he wanted to
settle matters so he could be driven to
his home in Maryland. Strauss said he
did not believe the machine was badly
damaged and left $40 for Shipp to pay
for the necessary repairs. The Baltimore
man said if there was any change he
wanted it sent to his home.

BEF0RE the primary election the New
ark Neaos gave "a dozen reasons why
the Democrats of Essex county should
defeat James r. Nugent for membership
on the state Democratic committee.
The last and probably the chief reason
was because he is Jim Nugent and that
is enough" How far the desire of the
Newark paper was gratified is a matter
of record now, as Nugent was successful
by large majority. Nugent may be
compelled to drink alone" outside OF
Essex county, but within his own baili-
wick he has any number of faithful
friends who will not only drink with him
but will gladly pay the freight.

In reply to some of Governor Fielder's

In reply to some of Governor Fielder's
criticisms, former Governor Stokes saws:
Governor Fielder says the present cleo
ton laws are models and corruption and
fraud at the polls, except through dis
honest election officers, are almost elm
mated OF course, if every one was hon.
est, no restrictive laws would be neces-
sary, but the very paper in which the
Governor attacks the Republican plat
form for safeguarding the ballot contains
big headlines announcing the issuing of
warrants for dishonest election officers.
In spite of the election laws which he
holds up as models and for the improve
ment of which he attacks the Republi-
can platform there occurred outrageous
frauds to which / have referred under
Governor Fielder's own administration
and in Governor Fielder's own county,
where his party faction controls the po-
lice and city government of the largest
city, and where the prosecutor of the
county, whose duty it is to enforce the
election law, is of the same party and
friendly to Governor Fielder, and these
frauds were perpetrated by the Demo-
cratic party, of which one newspaper
says Governor Fielder is the leader. 1t is
travesIty and an outrage upon honest
government that such crimes against
suffrage should occur. The Republican
platform insists, and l solemnly pledge
the people OF this state, if elected Gov
ernor, to insist upon the passage of legis-
iatiOn to prevent such frauds

CHAIRMAN BuGBEE, of the State Re-
publican Committee, does not like the
manner in which Messrs. Fielder and
Colby have been singing mud at former
Governor Stokes and he has issued a
statement that bristles with very strong
suggestions. Mr.. Bugbee says:
1.-The candidate who intemperatelv as
saults his opponent is using the best
means to betray the weakness of his
own cause His personal attacks disclose
first, his lack of legitimate argument
and secondly, his consciousness of his
opponents strength.
There are great issues at stake in this
campaign, and these issues should be
decided on basis of principles and not
of men. But evidently, Mr.. Fielder, the
Democratic candidate, and Mr.. Colby.
the third party candidate, are so fright
ened at the multiplying evidences of Mr..
Stokes popularity that, either in COM
mon fear Of Mr.. Stokes or by reason of a
mutual understanding, they are practic-
ally disregarding each other in their
public utterances and daily indulging in
nndignified and incorporate attacks
upon the Republican candidate.
.sIf both these gentlemen elect to con-
tlnu6 THIS style VI campaigning, may
not be able to resist the temptation to
call upon them to defend certain things

not previously intended to embarrass
them. Were / inclined to meet them on

Democrat candidate to explain how he
accomplished his rise in politics up to
the time he became State Senator. /
MIGHT ask him for the name of the no
torious boss of Hudson county who made
his political career possible and if Con-
gresham Kinkead, his Wilson campaign
manager, was not political protege and
business partner of that boss. And
might ask him why he made right
about face on the Fitzherbert charges in
the State Senate. And might ask him
wiz he introduced in the legislative ses-
mon OF 1911 Morris canal bill with a |
Ioker that would have robbed the state

pockets OF certain favored corporation. |

IT is interesting to read some OF the
things that were said by prominent
Democrats prior to the primary election.
Mr.. Lamonte, commissioner of banking
and insurance, said the nomination and
election of Governor Fielder would be a
serious blow to the cause of progressive
Democracy as exemplified by President
Wilson. Mr.. Lamonte said he believed
that when the people of the state awolxe
to the true situation it would result in a
demand for the nomination of some can
didate other than Governor Fielder,
And we have not noticed any change in
sentiment on the part Iof Mr.. Lamonte.
Then Mr.. Osborne, who made an active
and aggressive campaign for the Pro-
gressive nomination, had something to
say about Mr.. Colby, who was successful
at the primary. He asserted, in speech
at Elizabeth in August, that he did not
pretend to think much of the progressive
ness of those 'want-to-win-quick" Pro-
gressives who are more concerned about
offices than they are about the principles
that 1--WE are fighting for He said it
would be as impossible for conservative
to win the governorship for the Progress
sive party in 1918 as it would have been
for conservative to have won the Presi-
dency for the Republican party in 1860.
ut will be no cinch for the Progressive
party to overcome their handicap and
win this year." said Mr.. Osborne, and
insisted that it might be done with q
radical candidate. After slightingly
abiding to the conservatism of Mr.. Col
by, Osborne went on to say that he
would, if nominated, have good chance
of being elected and that the fighting
on the Progressive side would not be OF
1.-The imitation variety" AT the same
meeting George l.. Record took hand
in the talking and said Mr.. Colby was
for reactionary programme, lodges
both the recall of judicial decisions and
the recall of public officials and has
taken no stand on the constitutional con.
vention." And with Messrs. Osborne
and Record there is nothing to show that
they have changed their opinion

Press Comments.

SENATOR MARITIME of New jersey is
SO slightly regarded in his home State
and in Washington that his TRADE in
viting a worldwide commercial war
against the United States would cause
no alarm were it possible to confine its
echoes to within the borders of this
country. Unfortunately, his presence
in the Senate, due to the Intervention of
President Wilson, assures worldwide cir
culation to his uniformed and ill-advised
remarks, and that at time when for
the promotion of the national welfare
the international relations of the country
require the application of sedatives
rather than the injection of irritants. 1t
is the duty of all respectable Americans
to inform their friends of other countries
that Jimmie MARITIME represents no fac
ton of the United States, states the
cause of no party, and speaks only for
the edification of asses-New York Sun.
In CONNECTION with the Fitzherbert
case, was Senator Fielder webbing or
imming?-Trenton State Gazette.
He was trimmer" There isn't any
doubt about that. Fielder signed the
committee report finding Fitzherbert to
have acted in a manner inconsistent
with the duty and trust of a Senator.
Then, when it came to vote on Fitzher-
bert's guilt and his expulsion from the
Senate, Fielder voted with his Demo-
cratic colleagues as matter of party ex-
pediency. He was looking ahead to the
need of Fitzherbert's vote to help put
him in the Senate Presidency and make
him Acting Governor. He got that vote
later.
Governor Wilson, it will be recalled,
herbert. The letter was never written.
The Senate was disgraced for another
year by the presence of the man who
had been found by majority of his col
leagues to be unfit for the honorable
position of a Senator.
Fielder was trimmer" and Wilson
did not keep his word. That is the plain
truth about the Fitzherbert case. Cam
