Little Editorials
by the People
Taylor and Cha 'rmanship

10 lne 6ollOF Oh the ENenfnB star
Bloomfield, N j., July 2, 1914.
Dear Sir: In The Star OF couple of
days ago there appeared a letter in
which the writer asks can Mr.. Tay-
lor honestly and conscientiously adj
minister the affairs of chairman of
the County Republican Committee
and be candidate for the office of
surrogate. There is only one answer
to this query, and 1t is mo"
Every Republican worker and every
man of ordinary intelligence knows
very well that it cannot be done, and
there is no use of hiding the fact.
Mr.. Taylor replied to Mr.. Sweeney
stating that the county committee
would keep their hands off This ap-
pears like a poor joke. Does not
everybody know that the office of
chairman carries with it a certain
amount of influence, which ordinarily
would have some weight with the
workers and voters of the party?
IT'S time the workers and voters are
paying no attention to what the lin
side" has to say. Just because the
big two"-Jones and Dalrymple-are
forcing Messrs. Heilman and Taylor
for sheriff and surrogate is no good
reason why they both should be sup
ported, and every good reason why
they should be defeated.
AS far as Mr.. Taylor is concerned.
l would like to see him confine him
self to the chairmanship-show what
he can do by bringing the party to
the front this fall, and then ask for
something. Just because he helped
out Jones and Dalrymple last Janu-
airy is no reason why the boys ought
to get out and hustle for him. In
stead, that viii be one reason why
he will not be supported in his race
for the office of surrogate.
The actions of Mr.. Jones, Mr.. Dali
rymple and Mr.. Taylor are just what
tends to make Progressives. And is
Ii any wonder?
This year the candidates who as
sert independence of the big two
no matter what office they seek, I
feel will be the lucky ones. for the
fight will not be on the candidates,
but against Jones and Dalrymple.
Now then, Mr.. Taylor, step out of
the political race and work hard as
chairman of the party, and then ask
for yours.
As for Mr. Heilman, | hardly think
he will be considered at all, for he is
unknown in latter-day politics of the
party.
One more word for Mr.. Taylor. Re
member the cases of Mr. Bentz and
Mr.. Stainsby, the best leaders the
party ever had. yet when they ran
for office were defeated. Yours truly,
c. L. WOODRUFF.

NO INTEREST IN POLITICS.

SO many things of dramatic interest are happening
the world the present time that public interest is
divided up and comparatively little attention is given
to campaign politics. The newspapers record the
coming out of candidates and political organizations
meet and pass resolutions of Endorsement but the
voters show little interest.
At this period of the year usually there
columns printed about party politics. but this year
the space given is devoted to other news of more
commanding public interest The Mexican situation
the murder of the Austrian archduke the Salem fire
and other sensations have followed each other closely
while baseball has occupied least one-haf of the
popular attention.
1t is a fact that the world has become larger for
the generality of American people. Their interest
in current affairs has broadened No longer is the
local election the county State election
event overshadow everything else Affairs in South
America in Europe China may transhx public
attention in the United States even on the eve of
primary election.
But this does not indicate indifference to own
affairs but only that the American people less
parochial in their interests. They live in larger
world than before; they know about the worlds
affairs, and discuss them with intelligent
knowledge. For the American people are the greatest
newspaper readers in the world, and the American
newspaper of day is mirror of the life of the
world.

THE IMPERIAL oBsRQUIEs AT VIENNA.

The arrival of the bodies the murdered Austrian
arphduke and heir to the throne and his wife for
mortuary honors marks the last chapter of the royal
tragedy enacted IN a Bosnian town
few days ago Franz Ferdinand held the i'm
perial sceptre almost in his grasp to WELD tre-
mendous power over the destinies of millions To-
day he is simply piece of clay that might fill hole
to keep the wind away" The shot of the assassin
stripped him at once of all his regal dignties and
honors and his dazzling prospects and leyeled him
with the meanest his Austrian subjects For death
is the great leveler Imposing may be the obse-
quies of the arehduke. he shares the common lot
equally with the humblest laborer
But consequences of the grayest moment may fol-
low the murder death of prince, and in this
they are almost inevitable The assassination is at
tributed to a Serb conspiracy; 1t committed in
Serb country and it fulfilled Serb purpose to strike
a vital blow at Austrian power. There Pan
Slavic regrets at the deed which removed the most
formidable foe of the unity of the Slay race and
venged Austrian wrongs in the Balkan states
The death of the aged Emperor Francis Joseph
cannot much longer be deferred Much has been said
of the tragic misfortunes of his family, but they sink
into nsignifcance in the contemplation of what will
confront the dynasty when he expires. The emperor
might die with feeling of security if Franz Ferdi-
nand had lived to him. but he will pass away
feeling that the empire may not long survive him.
his death will only be the signal for the enact
ment of world tragedy, and that the imperial house
of Hapsburg was really to die with him.

The Mexican Flag

The flag of Mexico is the mate of
the italian tri-color, though the green
of Italy Is paler than that of Mexico.
The three colors ale green, white and
red. On the white in the Mexican
flag is the seal of Mexico. 1t shows
an eagle on a bush or branch of nopal
"a common holding a serpent
in his beak. The Interpretation, says
the Christian Science Monitor, is
sometimes given that this is the SER
pent of despotism, but the legend of
the seal goes further back than the
despotism of the Spaniards, The
story is that during the time of the
Aztecs, the people were looking FOR a
place to found their city. They came
to the borders of Lake Texcoco, and
there they halted. They saw before
them an immense golden eagle-some
say small eagle-on a cactus with a
serpent in its talons and it wings
spread to the rising sun. Forthwith
they laid there the foundation of the
great city, Tenochtitlan, which Is the
City of Mexico of today. The date set
for this, of course conjectural, is
about 325.-Indianapolis News.

STREETS AND LOTS FOR FAIRGROUNDS

For lack of Fairgrounds for the children in New

In New York also successful efforts have been
made to secure the use of priyately-owned vacant

citizen organization. In New York city last month

You've no doubt heard of Arthur Brisbane. What!
No? Well for your special information and that other
Evening star readers may be enlightened, we will
et it be known that Arthur has private corner lot
in the New York Evening Journal where he sows
seeds of thought on patent copyrighted system of
thought farming, and diffuses the product of his
genius from this fenced-in domain There's millions
in it for him it's said and maybe he's underpaid
at that Still that's neither here nor there
Arthur seems to have lost his bearings a few days
ago and got to advising New Jersey editors to insist
upon tunneng or bridging the Hudson river so that
New Workers. could reach New all the quicker
and enjoy our beautiful roads" Do something for
the state, he counseled 1t not be unreasonable
to suspect that Arthur tossed sentiment aside for the
nonee and let his mind forge anchor to be cast to
Rindward And yet it be an unjust suspicion
Arthur is reputed to be the lord and master of
broad estates down Ocean county in the vicinity of
Point Pleasant and anything that might tend to in
crease property values there could not possibly hurt
his feelings
To tunnel or bridge the Hudson river couldn't pos
sibly be bad stroke of business for folks
down in Middle or South Jersey. Arthur wants the
tunnel and tells New Jersey editors what fools they
to urge their readers taxpayers III
to fall into New York ways, and help build bridge or
construct tunnel Expense! To the Dickens with
the expense mere bagatelle-that is for Arthur
and his fabulous income, from which he would not
have to divorce himself pennys worth for the tunnel
Improvement and only a trife to Essex county tax
payers-a triHe like $4,000, 900. Pooh! Not worth
mentioning.
But Arthur who has reason for everything
must have slipped cog his reckonings and swerved
from his far the topography of Northern
New Jersey is concerned, particularly the part affect
ing Newark.
According to Mr. Brisbane Newark only be
reached from New York by circuitous mountain
climbing" route and adds that there is not good
road leading from the metropolis to this city. Fel
for shame Arthur. OF if you bent upon
taking globe-girdling course from New York to
Newark. that is way, but how about that other
way?
What's the matter with Lincoln Highway, for
merly yclept the Plank Road? Ever try it? If not
why not? Two kinds of pavements and fancy
trimmings
Come Arthur. over TO Newark and stay
awhile II will do your heart and your eyes good
And we will welcome you with open arms and treat
YOU as brother. You may then continue your fight
TO Point Pleasant.
But after a day with us, Arthur, we will feel
assured that you will never again attempt
more Dick Turpin games Newark and Essex county,
because you will be thoroughly enlightened and have
better sense

Copyrighted 1914.

BY NdAR1
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who cele-
brates her fifty-fourth birthday to-
day, is a member of the distinguished
family of Beecher. She is a great
of Lyman Beecher, the
father of Henry Ward Beecher and
Harriet Beecher Stowe. Through
these distinguished kinsfolx she
traces her connection with many of
the most prominent New England
writer's and teachers.
Mrs Gilman's public career did not
begin until after her marriage. She
was twenty-four when this event took
place and as time went on she be-

deadening drudgery that faced her at
every hand THE contrast between
the instructive ideals of young women
and the sordid realities into which
housekeeping plunges them was to
her intolerable. SIR
So in 1890, when she was thirty
years old, she began her career as a
lecturer and reformer. Her aim was
not so much to secure the ballot for
women as to raise the plane of the
housewives existence. In 1898 she

wanting. He was all right under or
binary circumstances, but he did not
have reserve force. His mind had
not been trained to remain calm, so
that he would be level headed in
great crisis. He could not stand the
test, but went to his room and took
his life
Not a passenger was lost in this ac-

Self-eonfidence is the balance wheel
which keeps the head level in an
emergency. If you want to know a
man thoroughly just watch him in a
critical situation, see how he acts.
This will test the man. If he behaves
well in the CRISIS If he keeps his
head when other people lose theirs,
il he knows what to do. if he keeps
cool when others are excited and
confused, you may be sure that he
is made of the right kind of stuff
and can be. relied on.
Many a young man owes his start
in life to his cool-headedness in a
time of excitement. But you can't
have q level head at such a time un-
less you have trained yourself day by
day in trifles to act with courage and
good judgment.
Remember that some one is always
watching you, sizing you up, measure
ing you by the quality of your acts.
There is nothing that will help you In
getting on SO much as to form the
habit of always using good sense and
good Judgment in everything you do.
Never allow yourself to do a foolish
thing, to make a thoughtless mistake
that any office boy should. be expected
to avoid. Ask yourself, when you are
about to do a thing rs this level
headed thing to do? Am | using
good horse sense?" I know no other
method as good for strengthening
ones character, increasing ones eff
cheney.
Say to yourself, There is one thing
my employer shall never find me
capable of, and that is tom-fool ac-
lions, slip-shod, senseless, silly acts.

sentence of fifty in prison is pardoned out by
governor after serving only about twoffths of the

This is what has happened in Alabama. The des-
