AT THE SHRINE OF A POET
Provencal Women of France Have
New Grace Because Mis.rai
Sung Of Them.

Paris.-Frederic Mistral, who died
on March "a, was of course still alive
at the time of our visit to Aries. Al
bert Bigelow Paine writes in the Cen.
tury He was the light of modern
Provence. We began to realize some
thing Of this when we saw the photo
graphs and various editions of his
poems in the windows of Msrseilles
and Ak, and handbills announcing the
celebration, at St. Remy, Of the fifth
eth anniversary Of Gounod's score Of
Mistral's great poem, "Mireille.'
But we did rot at all realize the full
ness Of the Provencal reverence for
the master" as they call him, until
we reached Aries To all Provence
Mistral is god, an Apollo, the cen
trail sun from which other Provencal
singers are as diverging rays" What
ever Mistral has touched is glorified.
Provencal women walk with a new
grace because Mistral has sung of
them Green slopes and messy ruins

trails song. A Mistral anniversary is
celebrated like Declaration of Inde-
pendence or a Louisiana purchase
They have even named a wind after
him. Or perhaps he was named after
the wind. Which ever way it was, the
wind has taken second place, and the
people smile tenderly now, remem-
bering the master, when his name is
mentioned.
He loved Provence. When he was
awarded the Nobel prize, he forgot
that he might spend it on himself, and
bought and restored an old palace,
converting it into museum for Aries.
Then he devoted his time and ener-
gies to collecting Provencal relics and
today with it's treasures and associa-
Ions, the place has become shrine
Provence has produced other noted
men, among them Alphonse Daudet,
who was born just over at Mines, and
celebrated the town of Tarascon with
his "Tartarin." But Daudet went to
Paris, which was perhaps a sin. Not
but that Provence is proud of Daudet
he. too, has statue at Nimes-but
Provence worships Mistral.

j. S. SCHOOL HELPS
Aids Educational Awakening in
New Chinese Republic.
Plays Prominent Part in Spread of Lib
eraI ldeas-Judse Loblnger's Ad-
dress at Recent Commence
rnent Day Exercises.

Shanghai, China.-At the commence
ment day celebrations at st. Johns
university, Shanghai, an American in
stitution which has prospered in re-
cent years, Admiral Tseng Ju-cheng,
military governor of Shanghai, in
spected the cadets and paid them some
well-deserved compliments. At the
presentation of degrees Judge c. s.
Lobinger of the United States court
for China gave an address on the sub
Ject Of American educational work in
Asia. He congratulated the university
upon having sent out so many to take
their place in the new situation which
confronted China, and observed that
in the future development of China St.
John promised to play larger and
still more honorable part One of the
facts which most impressed a new
conner to China like himself was the
predominance of Americans in the
educational awakening of China. In
the vicinity of Shanghai alone there
were several institutions of higher
learning which, like st. Johns, owed
their origin and existence to American
initiative.
The speaker instanced Soochow and
Marking universities, and said these
institutions could be found duplicated
in almost every one of the 1S prov
inces. He went on to refer to the in
creasing number of Chinese students
in universities In America, and said
that the forces of higher education in
China were largely under American
auspices. A very considerable por-
ton of members of the American Uni
versity club of Shanghai were Chinese
who had graduated in American uni
versities. These were facts which
could hardly escape the notice of even
the casual visitor.
What was not so obvious was that
this educational effort Of America in
China was part of great national
undertaking begun long ago, and now
carried into almost every part Of
Asia.
Along with the spread Of the Eng
lish language, there had been diffused
ideas Of democracy and liberty Of
which the English language and liter
AZURE was so complete vehicle. The
movement had had much to do with
the Balkan renaissance, it was behind
the struggle of Persia for liberty, and
1t was playing part in the modern
movement In China, It was to be hoped
that the present intellectual and po-
litical changes now being wrought
would be accompanied by CORE
spending moral awakening.
Mere learning without character was
dangerous, and the government lack
ing moral basis rested upon sand
Along with other nationalities Amer
leans naturally hoped for larger
share in China's foreign trade. II 1t
was to be the good fortune of America
to become the teacher Of Asia, he did
not fear that it's commerce would flow
entirely or chiefly into other channels.

He has obeyed the orders of Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson, without ques-
ton, and Hunterdon County should
be represented by an independent
man, who will represent the people
and not Woodrow's rank bossism.
Counsellor Willard Parker, of
Pennington, has been most fire.
quently mentioned as a candidate on
the Republican ticket, for the Con-
gressional nomination, and while he
is man Of high integrity, he would
not make as good a candidate as
former State Senator Elijah C.
Hutchinson of Mercer County.
Senator Hutchinson has had wide
experience in legislative work, and
was the most aggressive and fearless
State Road Commissioner that New
Jersey has ever had.
He is extensively engaged in bust
ness, himself, and knows what kind
of legislation is needed for the gen
eral public good, rather than some
fanciful theories evolved by people
who have never conducted even a
peanut stand
There are no other avowed Re-
publican candidates, as yet.
The difficulty in securing photos
has prevented US from running cuts
of many of the candidates, but we
may have some of them later. The
Pennsylvania political story is held
over this week, for the same reason,
and also because we are sending
many extra copies of this issue into
different parts of Hunterdon County
where they are not interested in the
Pennsylvania fight Extra papers
will be sent into that territory at the
time.

New Freebooter Candidate.

A new Freebooter candidate has
entered the field, and the Hunter
don County Democrat says of him:
William Y. Holt, one of the lead
ing citizens of Raritan township,
announces himself, in this issue for
the Democratic nomination for
member of the Board of Freeholders.
Mr.. Holt is one of the most
successful business men that may
be found among the farmers of this
county. He is prominent in the
Grange of both County and State,
having for many years been Assist
ant Secretary of the New Jersey
State Grange, and is now the
Secretary of Hunterdon County
Pomona Grange. There is not a
township in the county in which
Mr.. Holt is not known, and if
nominated will be a safe man for
the taxpayers to elect.

Rev. Harry J Iobst, one of the
candidates for the Democratic NOM
ination for Assembly, was born at
Emaus, Pa, thirty-six years ago.
In early life he was a Moravian,
the religion of his parents, changing
over to Methodism some eight years
ago. He graduated from the Emaus
high school at the age of Is, taking
up the profession of telegraphy. He
was located at Kutztown for several
years, and while there engaged ac-
lively in public debate.
Mr.. Iobst was train dispatcher at
Pottsville when he began to prepare
himself for the ministry. He re-
moved, with his wife and child, to
Madison, this state, where he enter
ed Drew Theological Seminary.
For a time, during his studies, he
served on the Anderson and Mount
Lebanon charge. At the time of his
graduation, in 1909 he was station
ed at Mt. Hermon, Warren County.
Mr. Iobst has been stationed at
Cokesbury five years, preaching at
both the Cokesbury and Paramount
M. E. Churches, During that period
the membership Of the churches has
increased $50, and the pastors sal
airy doubled.
Upon one occasion, when William
j. Bryan was scheduled to speak at
Phillipsburg, he was late in arriving,
and in the interim the leaders pre-
vailed upon Mr.. Iobst to speak,
which he did, holding the audience
of $4,000 for more than an hour.
Mr.. Iobst comes from a musical
family. His father and mother sang
in the choir at Emaus for more than
sixty-fve years, and his grandfather
was organist of the Moravian Church
for more than forty years prior to
his death.
Mr. .Iobst was married toF'lora May,
daughter of Rev. H. U. Sebring, of
the Philadelphia, Conference, and
granddaughter of the late Judge
Kellar, of Monroe County, Pa. They
have one daughter, Josephine.
Rev. Mr.. Iobst is man of splen-
did physique and strong personality,
with a powerful voice, and should he
be elected will doubtless make rep
utation for himself.

HUNTERDON'S
CANDIDATES

The entrance of William Y. Holt,
of Pennington, into the race for
the Freeholdership on the Demo-
cratic ticket, adds additional in
terest to the fight, which is again
-four -cornered.
The withdrawal of Judson L..
Fields, of this city, left the Geb-
hardt interests without any avowed
candidate, but the entrance of Mr..
Holt seems to fill this vacancy.
He is a resident of Raritan Town
ship, prominent Granger, and a
farmer who is widely known in the
county.
The withdrawal of Judson l..
Fields, of this city, from the Free
holder race leaves this section of
Hunterdon County without candi-
date. on the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Fields ran such close second
to Harry Kramer, also of this city,
on last years primary ticket, that
he was considered an especially
strong candidate.
Mr.. Kramer was backed by the
Pidcock faction while Mr.. Fields had
the support of the Gebhardt branch
of the party.
The present candidates are all
from Pennington or north thereof.
There has been some objection to
a possible two freeholders from
Lambertville, in case of Mr.. Fields
nomination and election, but the
upper end of the county had a
majority of the board at various
times and will again if they can
elect one of the candidates from
that section.
Pitted against him are Joseph
Alvater, of Pennington, who has
the endorsement of the Pidcock
faction, Harry P. Snyder, OF High
Bridge. and Hiram 0. Cashier, OF
Glen Gardner vicinity, who appears
as a sort of compromise candidate
between the two factions.
Mr.. Cashier expects to make a
tour of the lower end of the county
very shortly.
Mr.. Holt will pull pretty well
among the farmers, and Mr. AL
water will run good where the
Pidcock adherents are strongest as
well as among others who know
him.

the most votes in the upper end
of the county, in which he resides.
Mr.. Snyder is favorably known in
High Bridge borough, but not in
the southern parts of the county.
The Assembly race lies between
Rev. Harry ]. Iobst, pastor of the
Cokesbury and Fairmont M. E..
Churches, who has the endorsement
of the Pidcock faction, and Coun-
-at-Law johnson V. Aller, of
Clinton, who represents the Geb-
hardt branch.
This is an interesting contest.
Mr. Iobst is a. Pennsylvania by
birth, hustler, and is making a
cyclonic canvass of the county.
He is making a good impress
sion among those who have met
him so far.
On the other hand, Mr.. Aller is
a native Hunterdon Countian, of
the highest integrity and honesty,
and will get the votes of those
whom he is personally acquainted
with. He is making a more quiet
canvass than Mr.. Iobst. Either
one will we'll represent Hunterdon
County in the Assembly, if nominal
ed and elected.
For Surrogate there are two
candidates, Anthony Killgore, on
the Gebhart side, and Oscar Ritten-
house, of Clinton, on the Pidcock
side.
Mr.. Killgore has never held pub
lie office, has published a Democratic
newspaper for years, at Pennington,
and pledges himself to never again
be a candidate for office.
Mr.. Rittenhouse is clerk of the
board of freeholders, we'll known
clothier in Clinton, and a man of
pleasing personality and high
honor.
Either will fill the office well, so
there need be no uneasiness on that
score.
Personally, we favor Mr.. Kill
gore, because he has never held
office, while Mr.. Rittenhouse has,
and serving for years in the news
paper business, he knows the needs
of the Surrogate's office better than
any other man in the county.
Two Sheriff candidates hail from
Clinton vicinity: John w. Sharp,
the Pidcock man, living at AMMAN
dale, and George w. Smith, the
Gebhardt candidate, at Clinton.
Either will make an able candl-
date, but if the Republicans should
happen to nominate a strong man
from the lower end, it will be
nip and tuck race at the general
election.
C. S. Hoppock comes from West
Portal, and denies allegiance to
either faction, which makes his
candidacy rather hard hoeing."
M. P. Eick, of Glen Gardner,
solicits the support of the Pro-
gressive members of his party in
his aspirations for the office of
Sheriff, but if the words progress"
and independence" are synonymous
he will be very shy of votes at the
primaries, as most of the Democrats
are bowling to the mandates of

IDLE STEAMSHIPS HERE

Vermont Corporation Has $4,000,
900 Investment Anchored

An investment representing s2,0OO000
In the steamships Narragansett and
Manhattan, bringing no return, is an
ohored in the Delaware River off Will
mington. These vessels were completed
n year ago by the Harlan e. Hollings-
worth Corporation, of Wilmington, for
the Central Vermont Transportation
Company. a subsidiary company of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad. Because of difference OF
opinion between the officials of the lat
ter company and members of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission these ves-
sets have been compelled to lie idle,
and it is not expected that they will
bc used until next spring.
The Manhattan and Narragansett ad-
mittedly fine craft of their type, were
constructed to ply between Now York
and Portland, Nc, over the Long Island
Sound route. The New York. New
Haven and Hartford Company was to
build Il spur line to bring freight and
passengers into Portland from interior
points. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission interfered and the project was
held up.
Boats without passengers and freight
were useless, so the Central Vermont
Transportation Company decided to keep
the craft here instead of at Portland,
whore the fresh water would be more
beneficial to them than the salt water
OF Portland harbor. The work of build
ing the spur line is now progressing
and is expected to be completed early
in spring.
The NarraEansett and Manhattan are
sister ships. Each is sumptuously fitted
for the accommodation of several hun
dred passengers. They are 332 feet in
length. 4s feet in width, Sc feet over
guards and 81 feet 3 inches depth. Their
