THE MOTOR CAR IN THE PRESENT WAR

The Importance of the motor car in modern war;
appears strikingy in the hurry call of the British
war office for one thousand chauffeurs to the
continent There will be training camp period
for these men. What they have to do in war they
know how to do now, and they expected to go to
the front Immediately Until the complete history
of the is written shall not know how vast a
part has been played in by the motor car and how
potent factor has been the chauffeur-sodier.
1t appears that Germany, in it's wonderfully thor
ough preparation for this war, made the best of
the motor for transportation Motor trucks for
provided, together with of all kinds
for transport When mobilization ordered every
private was Communicated including most of
those of foreign tourists in Germany. In the trans
port service the motor is doing the work of the
mule in the American army.

THAT sublimated Methodistical Hill
Boothby, who reads her Bible in He
brew" is the way q contemporary de-
scribed Miss Boothby, whose birthday
is celebrated on October 81. Hill
Boothby owes her distinction to the
fact that she was very greatly adj
mired-in spite or perhaps because
of her Methodistical ways-by the
great literary dictator of his day, DR..
Johnson. That famous man. when he
was well past his youth, used to call
her his sweet angel and his dearest
dear and wrote many letters to her
In which he assured her that she was
the only woman upon whom his
heart reposed.
Another woman born on October u
who gained some distinction was Mrs.
Margaret Maxwell English a Scotch
woman. She was born in IVA, and
being left a widow with three chill
dren and a very small annuity she
turned her attention to writing as a
means of self-support. Some of the
Scotch ballads and songs she wrote as
q result are much admired. and she
was a friend of the poet Burns.
Catherine of Valois is by far the
best known of the women born on
October II. She was the daughter Of
Charles VI, King of France, and
when she was nineteen she married
the thirty-three-y ear-old King Henry
V of England. then a widower. Cath
crimes parents were both decidedly
undesirable in spite of the fact that
they were rulers Her father was
hopeless lunatic and her mother, who

NO PERSONALITIES AGAINST RAYMOND

It is to the credit of the Democratic campaign in
this county that it has been fought without any mud
as ammunition. Nor probably would the Republican
campaign be less creditabe in this respect than the
Democratic if the knocker supporters of Mr. Ray
mond had not injected into It the scurrility that char
acterized their former campaigns against Mayor
Haussling, all of them signal failures
The party in power is Democratic, and therefore
TO be held responsible for acts of government. Par
tisan attacks upon city administration never give
credit for anything Good deeds and public benefits
are ignored or misrepresented Defects. however
triAing are magnifed into sins and crimes motives
are maciously reflected upon and honesty is ques-
toned
On the other hand the party out of power is re-
sponsbe nothing except the msdeeds of its repre-
sentaves in Office in the past, which are too easily
forgotten by the average citizen. The Democratic
administration of Newark is we'll prepared to meet
any fair criticism and attack. The city government
has thrown open its books for inspection and offered
every facility for investigation
This was never done before by party in power
But the assailants of the administration have not
availed themselves of this opportunity to make good
their vague charges and insinuatons, and the cam
paign SANDER has continued while Mr. Raymond in
his speeches has paraded cookedup figures furnished
him by who refused to visit the City Hall to
inspect its books and who know no more about the
affairs of the municipality than Mr.. Raymond does
Mayor Haussling has been directly and indirectly
naligned in this dscreditabe campaign and evidently
the only reason why his character citizen which
was assaed in former campaigns, has not been de-
famed the fear of retort upon the Republican
mayoralty candidate. It is a tribute to the Demo-
cratic campaign that 1t has not been personal in crit
icisms of Mr. Raymond although personality in his
case would not be the caumny that has been heaped
upon Newark's worthy mayor by Mr. Raymond's
present supporters.

THE JOEL PARKERs.

The spirit exhibited at the banquet of the Joel
Parker Association in the Kruger Auditorium last
night revealed thoroughly aroused party organza-
tion spirit in Essex county and it presaged victory in
the elections next Tuesday
The six hundred men who sat at the tables and
responded with much fervor to the addresses were
in personal touch with the entire electorate of
the county ,and they had come to the banquet hall
with absolute confidence in party victory in city
and county
The Joel Parker club is Newark institution and
its history honorable 1t has conserved the
Democratic spirit and Democratic principles for
years, upheld the Democratic faith when the party
long out of power and kept alive party courage
until the time for the people to return to the
principles of Jefferson. And no doubt the Joel
Parkers will be fourshing institution and power in
Democratic politics long after the who sat at the
banquet board last night shall have passed away.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.--The first.
VAGUE tremors of unrest which SHY
cred over the industrial, commercial
and financial interests of the United
states in the fortnight or two follow
ing the explosive outbreak OF the ram
European War having subsidized some
what economists and experts in spe-
citic lines and students of humanitar-
;an nroblenlss generally, many of the
most distinguished of whom are gath
cred in Washington, have come TO the
conclusion that the appalling conflict
will not. in the long run, greatly erect
this country, If we remain neutral
The situation, says washington
economists, is as follows:
! War increases scarcity rather thall
must he paid for with goods. Money,
az course, is merely the token, the
symbol of ownership. Each piece OF
money is not more than CIRCULATING
representative of it's equivalent IN
GOODS. Let anyone who doubt this try

ter of a five-d dollar gold piece. In war
times commodities increase IN price on
a proportional scale. The only thing
actually cheapened is the money IL
self This situation is of advantage
only to the man who went into debt
before the rise in prices began; he can
nav off his old debt with cheaper
money. The farmer benefits from war
when food products Increase more
rapidly than other commodities.
An upward movement in prices for
the necessities of life may be expected.
AZ is stated, because consumption is
augmented by a tremendous waste in
wartime. The reduction in consump-
tion viii be apparent only as applies
to the more luxurious products.
Spectators win reap a harvest
from the war. 1t is claimed. and
there will be an increased number of
middle men. Transportation facilities
may be expected to become less and
more expensive on account of the
turning of the railroads to military
purposes and the increased rates of
marine insurance.
American wheat is expected to rise
| because Russia's only wheat outlet
| probably will be through the Medi-

One of the most interesting con-
illusions drawn by the Washington
economists Is that Germany. Austria
and Hungary can feed themselves in
definitely. 1t is predicted that the
lighting principally will be carried
on along national frontiers and thai
therefore, countries will not be de-
structively over-run. For this rea-

unprlncipled, dissolute Spanish prin-

For keeping the brlght-witted
little Catherine was put into con-
vent. and she was still uncontami-
mated with the ways and wiles OF
court life when she was married to
the brave Henry v, the hero of Agin-
court.
Henry V. survived his marriage to
Catherine only two years, and then
she went into retirement with her In
FAINT son. In her retirement she was
constantly attended by a Welshman
Owen Tudor. Before long catherine
fell very much in love with her loyal
protector, and she was probably Sc
cretly married to him. They had
two children, daughter, Tacine, and
a son named Jasper.
When Catherine died her son by her
first husband, Henry v, assembled the
throne. and over his mothers grave
he placed a stone in which she was
called the widow of Henry Y. Evil
IDENTIFY the marriage to Owen Tudor
was for the time being to be over

to be regarded as illegitimate. But
the tables were soon turned, for Jas
per married and had son who man

VII. the first of the Tudor dynasty.

STYLED the widow of Henry V. and IN
its place caused one to be erected

The late William P. Frye, of Maine,
for many years United States senator
from that State and, earlier, repre-
sentative in the Lower House OF Con-
gress from the Lewiston, Me-, dis
trict, said to rpe, in the summer OF
1884, that there was no member OF the
House in whose personality and IN
whose career he had found greater
interest than in the instance OF KEEP
resentative Robert NJ. McLane, of
Maryland.

the time | never failed to drop my
work and carefully listen and also
watch MIR. McLane when he took the
floor.
81 think, without exception, he was
the most graceful member OF the
House during all my service there.
His gestures were modes. They APP
peared to be unstudied. They aided
admirably in expressing his thought
They consisted usually of a slight
movement of the arm, never violent,
always gentle. and yet at times it

Emergency Currency.

From the Toledo Blade.
A new form of emergency currency
is circulating in Georgia. It is the
certificate of a probate judge, acting
as trustee, that he holds cotton at Z
cents a pound as security in ware
house receipts, the certificate bearing
per cent. interest. The papei~ car
ries the names of banks and mercan-
tile houses which will accept 1t as a
deposit or as payment for purchases.
Denominations are one, five and ten
dollars. The issue and circulation of
these certificates are against the law.
The Federal government alone is en-
powered to print or coin anything in
theA shape and meaning of currency.
But 1t will be surprising IL anything
Is done about 1t. The government
wisely chose to say nothing in 1907-0S
when clearing house certificates were,
nut out to the amount of millions of
dollars 1t was of infinitely more i'm
portance that the country should have
money with which to do business,
meet the pay rolls, keep the corner
grocery from bankruptcy and. the
home from starvation than it was to
keep every statute rigidiy enforced

is a sort of singing quality. although
very different from what is called in
donation.
II sometimes thought that there
was no member of the House whose
career was so varied and of such ex-
tent as was that OF McLane. He had
been a member of the House of
Representatives when Lincoln served
in Congress. His service there be-
gan during the administration of
President Polk. After THAT, he was
much occupied with diplomatic mat
tiers. He carried with inviolable Sc
screcy the story of the message which
at the outbreak of the Mexican War
he took from President Polk to GEN
eral Zachary Taylor.
HE was practically minister to
China. He was one of the powerful
intellects of the East who became
familiar with conditions on our Pac-
ific Coast. And now, when he is
seventy years of age, he is governor
of Maryland.
81 hope McLane has carefully pre-
served his correspondence and has
recorded in his diary or in some con-
venient way his various life as a law
yer BY the way, ! learned by acct
dent that NcL.ane was trained as q
soldier, having been, I think, q cadet
at Wes Point.
"But after all. as .think of him, I
find myself recalling with especial
vividness the peculiar grace of his
personality. the charm of his gestures
and the melodious quality of his
voice for these were characteristics
which distinguished him from the
great company with which he was as
sociated as member of the Lower
House

FREIGHT HANDLING BY ELECTRICITY.

What the storage battery, invented by Thomas A.
Edison, has done toward solving the transportation
problem is shown by figures presented at conven-
ton of electric vehicle makers and dealers in Phila
delpha An electric truck used in freight handling
is so small that it can be into box car, and it
does the work of twelve hand trucks. One of these
vehicles moved 90 900 tons of slate in twentyfour
hours. Experiments at New York steamship piers
indicated a saving of nearly $4,000 in year from
like amount of freight handled in the old way. When
il is considered that the cost of loading and unloading
heavy merchandise by hand at terminals is higher
than that of hauling it by rail or water, the value
of MIR. Edisons invention as economic factor may
be appreciated.

contrary. Devastated as is Belgium,
the people of Brussels raised mil

tons in London and France have been
heavy. In this country several funds
are being raised and in this city more
than $4,000 has been secured, but that
is a trifie compared with the total
which must be raised to keep millions
of destitute non-combatants from
starvation. The need is urgent, and

ance that not penny will be lost or

up TO the ever-enlarging ideals, If he
would attain his full height
A good business education opens up
any young persons mind to the pos
sibilities that lie In the proper ham
ding OF money; 1t teaches the funda-
mental principles upon which all
trade is based; it trains the mind 70
accuracy and the hand to technical
proficiency; 1t frees the merchant
from doubt and worry as to the exact
standing of his business, by giving
him precise knowledge as to how to
ascertain its condition.: 1t prevents the
clerk from sinking into nediocrityA
by furnishing him with a stepping
stone to success that leads through
the Office of the proprietor himself:
1t gives confidence to the inexperi-
enced applicant by furnishing him
with a knowledge Of affairs that is
possessed only by the fortunate few;
and, throughout life, it gives a poise
and balance that Is impossible to
him who knows nothing of the fixed
laws by which his business Is con-
trolled.
Education doubles a mans value
many times in many ways. Booker
r. Washington says: THE colored
graduates of Tlskegee have raised
over $50 bushels OF sweet potatoes on
an acre of ground in the same loca-
ton where an uneducated colored man
raised less than fifty bushels to the
acre.
The highest service a young man
can render to himself and to the
world is to make the most possible
out of the stun that is In him, to de-
velop himself not partially, not mar
rowly, not In a one-sided manner but
systematically in a large way
He who would stand on that high
plane OF spiritual, mental and physical
manhood for which he was created
must keep pace with enlightened
progress. read, study, think, observe
and develop soul and body to their
highest powers. None can be ignored
or cultivated at the expense OF any
other without working injury to the
complete man. They are independent
in Gods plan.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT

In the ardor of the assault upon Democratic cit
adels in Newark and the county the Republicans and
their knoeker auxlares have entirely overlooked the
Republican Board of Freeholders which only recently
shooed away the investigators of the Public Welfare
Committee when tley asked permission to examine
into the expenses and efficiency of the county
ment
There were reasons, and they given in
statement made last night at the Joel Parker dinner
by Freebooter Candidate Lewis. This statement Is
clean-cut exposition of the extravaganees of the
county board and the synopsis of the statement in
The Star report today will be read with interest and
enlightenment There is no vague accusation. Mr.
Lewis presents concrete facts. And 1t is remarkable
that up the present time there has not been word
of mention of county extavagance by the assaants of
the city administration. For example, taking the year
1905 the county rate 90. In 1903 1t was
boosted to .63 and Increased each year until 1t
reached .6940 in 1914. Why was the rate jumped?
The increased salaries and other expenses tell the
story. Every salary raised and new salaried
offices were created many of them sinecure Jobs.
The total salary increase in six years was from
$3f6,043 to $5S9,910. difference against the tax
payers of $273S67 The figures of tax rate increase.
salary increase and swollen institutional expenses ex-
plain the silence about the county government which
has been so carefully preserved since the election
campaign opened.

why should 1t be questioned that
it pays to develop to its fullest extent
all that is best in man and to equip
him with the wisdom that all past
generations have worked to discover
and make available?"
We might as well ask: VIII IL pay
a rosebud to unfold its petals and
fling out it's fragrance and beauty to
gladden. the world? VIII it pay an
acorn to become an oak?
Speaking especially of business edu-
cation, Lyman j. Gage, ex-secretary
of the treasury, once said: 1T gave
me the power to analyze financial pro-
positions; it taught me how to keep
accounts myself, and when / passed
away from the period of apprentice
ship or clerkship to higher duties
was enabled to determine the quality
of those discharging similar fune-
tions over whom had charge" Pres
ident James A. Garfield, speaking on
the same subject, said: Business COL
ieges furnish their graduates bet
ter education for practical purposes
than either Princeton, Harvard or
Yale" And Henry Ward Beecher de-
cIared: whatever vocation you may
choose as your life work, there can
be no question that the first stei, is
to obtain a practical business educa-
tion.''a
The radical evolution in business
methods. the long strides in civiliza-
ton, the multiplication of inventions
and discoveries along all lines which
the past half-century has witnessed
necessitate an infinitely broader and
better training for men and women In
every walk of life than was requisite
twenty-five or even ten years ago.
1t Is true that the opportunities
open to young men are greater today
than they ever were before; but, on
the other hand, there never was a
period in the worlds history when
the qualifications requisite for success
in any line of worthy endeavor were
of q higher character.
