THE PRBDoNuNATING ISSUE THIS YEAR.

With the largely increased registry of about five
thousand in the city and upward of sixtyfour hun
dred in city and county evidence of live interest
paign has assumed life and will be fought with
increasing intensity to its close.
The one predominant ISSUE which includes every
thing else is whether reactionary influences to
regain control That issue is broadly defined in the
Congress districts. The who thrown out
of power in 1912 because of their serytude to special
interests and their cynical contempt for popular
rights the men whose acts in government brought
about the tremendous upheaval in the Republican
party at Chicago trying to get back into power
to undo the great Democratic constructive work of
this Congress and restore the power of Wall Street
and the trusts at Washington.
But associated with the Republican reaetionary
candidates and in sympathy with their objects
the other candidates their ticket The election of
these candidates in county city would magnify the
victory of reaction and make easier the election of
reaetionary President in 1915
Every candidate for county and city Office elected
this year will be in Office in 1916 and will then use
all of its opportunities and influence in the election
for President and Congress. A Republican reac-
tionary mayor elected this year could do much during
his term, by patronage and otherwise, to make Re-
publican majority in Newark in 1916. Mr.. Raymond
already has prospective converts in tow with
promises of Office if he shall be elected
1t was we'll said at Trenton the other day that
the presidential campaign of 1916 begins with the
this year. And it does The fight this year
is for advantages of position The reactionares are
endeavorng to get control of Congress, and their
object is to also State county and municipal
offices in States to give them a frmer footing.

STOCKTON ON THE FULL CREW LAW

The announcement by Mr. Stockton the Demo-
cratic candidate for State Senator that if elected he
will oppose the repeal of the full crew law by the
Legislature is emphatic. Mr. Stockton speaks both
with knowledge and experience and is we'll qualified
to pass upon the justice and policy of this law. 1t
remains to be seen how many other candidates for
the Legislature will follow the example of Mr. Stock
ton and put themselves record on this law.
The full law not freak of egsla-
ton. No brought before the Legislature
was more carefully debated. Public hearings were
held the railroads represented by their able
lawyers and labor had its spokesman One side
represented the interests that have stubbornly re-
fused to safeguard human life at grade crossings,
and the other by pleaders for humanity
In any decent Legislature the full crew law would
have prevailed and it did On the plea of necessity
for reducing expenses the railroads would have this
law which protects both the trainmen and the public,
abolished. Mr.. Stockton says What do the other
legislative candidates say?

A GOOD EXAMPLE FOLLOWED.

Jersey City has now adopted the plan of Mayor
Haussling to give fair deal in the pur-
chase of some of the necessaries Of life Municipal
officers have purchased fish at the seacoast for sale
at a public market in Jersey City at seven cents a
pound a slightly higher price than Newark con-
sumers pay but about one-half the fish trust price
A good example seldom fails OF Imitation In
another year no doubt all the cities of the State will
have their fish markets. and If the Legislature does
not nut the trust out business by taking and
the fisheries for the people, the munich
palities may be able to do it.

OUR NAVY $4,000 SHORT OF MEN.

1t is acknowledged by the acting secretary OF
the navy that there is shortage of $4,000 men in
the navy and that If should be forced upon
this nation only ten battleships of the first line
and eleven of the second could be placed in commits
sion More than a score of warships are out of COM
mission and most of them hopelessly out of date
Because of the constant duty of the battleshps in
international affairs battle practice of the ships
has also been greatly curtailed,
Nor does this statement by the secretary OF the
navy tell all the story. There is a perilous lack of
subsidiary vessels, of torpedoes and ammunition and
other equipment Congress has stinted the ap-
for the navy to such degree that the
one great arm for the national defense is danger
ously crippled And think of the comparatively small
American navy being short of 700 men!

cording to his friends, upon his
nerves. There came a time when his
nervous system failed to yield the
energy which he needed. This time
was coincident with his advocacy of
prohibition and total abstinence, and
these were policies which a majority
of the citizens of Massachusetts then
held He felt that he needed a physi-
clans counsel, and he got that coun-
sci. The doctor prescribed a few
spoonfuls of whiskey mixed with
water, which was to be taken at
meal times, and light tonic of that
kind at bed time. Mr.. Bird acted
upon the advice and speedily found
that the taking of little wine for
his stomach's sake was doing him
good. He therefore bought a small
demijohn. or key, of excellent swhis-
key, and he had no sooner placed it
in his house than a storm of criticism
was raised.
Did you know that Frank Bird
has bought liquor and has it in his
house?' was question put frequent
iy to one and another of his friends.
At last the criticism reached his
ears. Had he been trimmer" in
politics he would have offered a
plausible explanation. Instead of that
he said: II am today believer IN
total abstinence, but l do not think
that the taking of medicine pre-
scribed by doctor violates my con-
viction. I am today believer in
prohibition, but do not believe that
the use of spirituous liquors should
be prohibited to those who accept
prescription and act upon
it, That is what / believe. / have
done nothing inconsistent with that
belief, for if l have then the State
of Massachusetts should refuse to
grant license to physician to
practice his profession"
That is all the explanation Mr..
Bird gave and upon it he stood. He
was not willing to dissimulate in
order to gain political honors.

The first question that should occur to the voter
Is what candidate for mayor has done to
benefit the community. With what good enterprise
or public service was he identified? In what way did
he contribute to the public welfare? What interest
has he taken in the things that make up the social
political and industrial life of the community?
Now it would be easy to these queries on
behalf of Mayor Haussing who has been in the
public eye for years and whose record stands out in
the limelight It may truthfully said of him that
he has been important and active factor in
thing that tended promote the city's welfare and
be hard to point to another citizen who compare
with Mayor Haussllng In that respect. plain and
unassuming citizen, Mr. Haussng has been un-
pretentious in all he has DONE but it is the less
conspicuous.
In what way has Mr.. Raymond his Republican
reactionary opponent distinguished himself as citi-
of Newark, promoter of its welfare and the
welfare of the people? The most extravagant
eulogst of Mr.. Raymond is silent that point. He
has no record to cite. All that be said of Mr..
Raymond is that he is lawyer and that his interest
has always been that of making in his profess
sion The human interests that Mayor Haussng
has had for many years entirely foreign to Mr..
Raymond, who has always held aloof from the people
and occupied exclusively with his private and pro-
fessional affairs And the ripe experience of Mayor
Haussling, valuable to his employer, the
Newark public, is wholly lacking in his opponent.
Mayor Hausslings claim for reelection is based
performance. Mr. Raymond offers nothing but
promises, and these of doubtful kind. Experience
has taught that as rule promises by political candi-
dates amount to more than pie crust. They are
usually broken. Performance cannot be questioned.

terms can be trusted to make good for a fourth

Americas Opportunity in Oleomargarine

ports about $4,000 tons of butter
from Denmark and produces $4,000
to 100000 tons of oleomargarine at
home. AS both of these supplies are
now much curtailed, there should be
good opportunity for American
churners of oleomargarine. Most of
this product now made in the United
States is mixture of oleo oil and
neutral lard with cottonseed oil,

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
To Cure Simple Juandice, Drink Plenty

BY DIR. LEONARD KEENE HIRsHBE RIG
A. B., NJ. A, M d. Johns Hopkins.

To Cure Simple Jusndice, Drink Plenty
Caesar said that Gaul was divided
into three parts. But the noblest
Roman of them all, although he was
ambitious, must have buried ac-
curacy with his bones.
Gall is divided into more parts than
there are Pittsburgh pickles. Gall

gall devils, not to speak of melan-
choly, biliousness, jaundice and a
flock of first cousins unmentionable.
That lil1able old rogue, Falstaff. says:
"You that are old consider not the
capacities of us that are young; you
do measure the heat of your livers
with the bitterness of your gals"
Here he phrases the truth that there
are few things more bitter than bile
and fewer which more justify sour
spirit.
So important has this matter of
bile, biliousness and the gall been
that the Anatomy of Melancholy"
large folio, written by the great
Burton, Is still an antidote to this
liverish NORWOOD.
Melancholy itself comes from two
Greek words which mean black bile,
for in the early days of medicine
anyone chased by the blue devils,
who was depressed in spirits, was
supposed to be full of bile.
Even nowadays home mongering
doctors tell you when you are de-
pressed and low spirited that you are
bit bilious.
| Gall is bitter secretion of the liver,
which was i'm use from oxen, goats
1 and sheep, as a medicine, even in the
pre- Roman days. In Matthew xvii,
"a, you are told they gave Him vine-
! gar to drink mingled with gall.
OK bile is an effective and harm
less laxative. 1t is a great aid to a
sluggish liver. The old fallacy of
giving calomel--a dangerous salt of
mercury, half brother to the malig-
nant bichforide--to stimulate the liver,
now gives way to the administration
of OK gall or the bile salts.
There are other superstitions asso-
ciated with the bile stream. Bilious
ness and the CALLED jade or stalled
horse are the least, Sir Thomas
Browne. the famous English physi-
clan, tells of one of these. married

basis because gall is bitter, irri-

A ouEERLY.AorrNG STATE COMMISSION.

The State Water Commission. which created
for the purpose of conserving the potable water OF
the State for the people, and not for the benefit of
private corporations spectators has pursued a
singular course in respect to water supply for the
municipalities this section of the State and it has
justified some unfavorable criticism.
When these municipalities took up the proposition
for joint development of the Wanaque watershed
it was switched off in a mysterious way to make
place for plan to buy the plant of the East Jersey
Water Company, which only one municipality has
favored The commission ordered appraisal of
the value of this plant, with view to its purchase
has held up the municipalities by various pretexts
apparently with the idea that the water company
plant would be accepted as matter of necessity
The demand is made upon the State commits
sion that this long and uncomfortable delay shall
be9ended. Newark has reached point in its water
supply at which immediate action is necessary to
get an additional supply and Newark wants one
equal to the Pequannock supply. The city does not
want the polluted and chemically doctored water
from Little Falls.
There is to be conference by representatives of
the municipalities with the State Water Commission
next week and if the commission does not change
its singular attitude the municipalities should adopt
a course of action to compel recognition of their
rights II is not forgotten that the State Water
Commission intrigued at Trenton to get legislation
to saddle twenty million-doar reservoir upon the
ratabes of Newark and other cities in the Passaic
valley.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

spoke in All Souls Church on young
criminals.
1t Is plain that Mr.. Cropsev shares
the modern view sthat every effort
should be directed to the reformation
of Youthful delinquents and that the
whole design OF the penology of the
day is to keep such delinquents from
the jail and consequent association
with criminals.
The district attorney brought out
some interesting statistics, in his
Thursday night talk. The average
citizen has the notion that most bur-
glars and other violent criminals are
men of mature years, many of them
recent occupants of jails, and all with
a long apprenticeship in crime to
their discredit.
This is not so at all, as Mr.. Crop
sey shows. This is what the district
attorney says:
Statistics show that the greater
number of serious crimes are
committed by the young. There
were 800 such convictions In this
county last year. quarters
of the criminals were under
thirty years. More than a third
were boys who had not reached
the voting age and all the rest
between thirty and forty, a very
few ever occurring over that age
II is. indeed, a remarkable revela-
ton of juvenile depravlty that Mr.
Cropsey unfolds when no assures us
that more than a third OF the cri-u-
inals who come under his official re-
view are less than twenty-one years
old. Surely, the home and the church
must be losing their hold on the ris-
ing generation.

BIRTHDAY OF. NOTED WOMEN
OCTOBER ~
BY MARY MARSHALL.
Augusta Victoria
Copyrighted 1914.

The birthday of the German empress
comes this year in the midst of great
unhappiness. The Empress Augusta
Victoria is fifty-six years old today
Before her marriage she was the prin-
cess of Schleswig- Holstein- Sender
burg Augustenburg and she is a year
older than Emperor William H., her
husband. She has had six sons, all of
whom have been active in the present
European war, and one daughter, Vic
toria Louise, whose marriage last year
has been rumored to be UNHAPPY.
The names of two distinguished ac-
tresses appear on the birthday calen-
dar for October 22-the French come
dienne Emelie Madeleine Brohan and
the clever impersonator, Cissie LOTUS.
Emile Brohan was a daughter of the
immortal Suzanne-one of the great
est French actresses of all times. She
was born in 1888 and was known by
the stage name of Madeleine, for it
was the French fashion of those days
to call famous actresses by single
