WOMAN SUFFRAGE
In New Jersey Gets tile Support Of
President Wilson

Washington, Oct. 6-President Will
son today announced he would vote
for the suffrage amendment in New
Jersey October 10.
The president authorized the fol-
lowing announcement: II intend to
vote for woman suffrage In New Jer-
sey because l believe that the time
has come to extend that privilege and
responsibility to the women of the
states, but I shall vote, not as the
leader of my party in the nation. but
only upon my private conviction as
a citizen of New Jersey, called upon
by the legislature Of the state to ex-
press his convictions at the polls.
IT think that New Jersey will be
greatly benefited by the change. My
position with regard to the way in
which this great question should be
handled is we'll known. / believe
that it should be settled by the states
and not by the national government
and that in no circumstances should it
be made party question, and my
view has grown stronger at every
turn Of the agitation"

All
Carrying Eighteen Men Runs
Into Wagon
And Philip Biefnes Is Pain.
fully Injured

A choice of smashing into the
front of an automobile or the rear of
heavy wagon faced Percy Upham
early Thursday morning on the Via
duct while driving 1S employees of
the Upham Gas Co. to their work
near Brandon and, deciding that the
wagon would be the least dangerous
to all concerned, he let his automo.
bile go into the rear end Of It. The
crash spilled the eighteen men and
one of these, Philip Biefnes of Ridge
wood avenue, was badly bruised
about the back.
The collision occurred at about
$3.50 o'clock. Upham was driving
southwark across the viaduct. He
noticed two large wagons side by
side. facing south, and started to
drive around them. Just then an
automobile headed toward the city
drove up alongside of the wagons.
Upham realized that crash was
sure to come, SO he quickly decided
to hit the wagon.
The team attached to the wagon
started forward at the collision, ran
distance of rs feet and then stop.
ped. Meanwhile, all of the occupanpts
of the Upham machine had been
thrown on the paved street and one
Of these, Biefnes, seemed to be in
considerable pain. Upham ran to
him, loaded him in his machine and
took him to the office of physician
where an examination showed that
he had been badly, but not seriously,
bruised about the middle Of the back.
No bones were broken and Biefnes
was later removed to his home.
Upham stated Thursday morning
that he was not driving fast and did
his best to avoid collision, but fail
ing in this, he took course which he
considered best for all concerned.
None of the other occupants of the
machine was injured. Biefnes is a
large man, weighing over 200 pounds,
and the shock of striking the paved
street was great. He will be laid up
for several weeks. the attending ply.
sician stated, but his injuries are
not regarded as serious.
The front fender Of the Upham car
was twisted in the accident and the
front portion of the car dented to
some extent.

YEG(iS
Use Hammer On A Safe At
Canterbury P. 0.
(Centerburg Gazette.)

(Centerburg Gazette.)
Yeggs tapped the safe in the Gen.
terburg postoffice early Tuesday
morning and secured small amount
Of change and a small quantity Of
stamps.
No explosives were used. The safe
was opened by knocking off the COM
bination with hammer or a heavy
instrument of some kind.
Just what amount of Doodle the
robbers secured has not been made
public, but owing to the fact that
since the safe was blown about four
years ago no large amounts are kept
in the Office over night, the robbers
secured but little, probably between
fifteen and twenty dollars in stamps
and money, for their work
Entrance to the building was gain
ed through the front door.
That the robbers were familiar
with the surroundings is shown by
the fact that they went to the roar of
the building and wired the door at
the foot of the stairway which leads
to the apartments above before en-
tering the building. This is thought
to have been done in order to pre-
vent any one from leaving the build
ing from the rear to spread the
alarm.
Miss Addie Annett, who lives in
apartments on the second floor of the
postofice building, heard the rob-
bers at work and notified Marshal
Evans by telephone. but before the
village pacifier could arrive on the
scene the job was pulled off and the
robbers had left town. 1t is thought
that the robbers used an automobile
in making their getaway. There is
no clue.

HAYS splAyiNGt TIE, i GAME. :, :.

The appointments of Wallace Davis, 26-year-old son of the late, Senator Icff Davis, to fill the vacancy in the attorney generalship caused by the death of Judge w. l.. Moose. is re garded by many as political play upon the part of Governor Hays and a prescursor of the governors an nouncement as a candidate to snc- cead himself.
 While MT. Davis appears to be highly regarded. the general opinion appears to be that he is not qualified by experience to render to the people the service expected from an attorney general. In the event that the state be- comes involved in litigation of great import, it is proba bic that older and more experienced lawyers will be employed to aid in the conduct of the states case. Thus the people will pay double for the same service, be- cause of the practice of an official building political fence out of the public pocket.
 The TeXarkana TeXarkanian, a SUD- porter of Governor Hays, has this to say concerning the appointment of MT. Davis:
 "Governor Hays has appointed Wallace Davis as attorneygeneral to succeed Judge Moose. Young Davis is son of the fate Senator Jeff Davis. He is said to be bright young man O. fine attainments and excellent character. But he is little more than d law student yet. He is without ripe experience or legal prestige He may be a very worthy youth, but public office of the importance of this one should not be used as a schooling ill which to prepare man for his pro- fession. By the very nature of things he will be handicapped, as his opin- ions can not carry the weight that comes with mature experience ana practice. either with the bar or in the courts of the state. In this case the rule of fitness for the place seems to have been entirely set aside. untor- tunately for the state and for MT Davis, this appointment will be con- strued as a political one, whether So or not. The TeXarkanian has a very high regard for Governor Hays, ana hcDes that subsequent events ma! yindicate the wisdom of his action.

hotel bills and tips. They get tired and foctsore, tramping around over- grown stores separated by long dis tances. They wait for change, carry bundles and pay express. They pay a high price in money and energy for supposed, economies.
 When you. buy goods away from home you rarely take them back. The bother and expense lock prohibitive. When you buy at home you would re- turn them if dissa;; sfedi.. This takes the time of clerks and frequently tho goods have been injured while in your hands. !f4: Whre it is so easy to return goods, the customer must be given both tho worth of his. money and something suited to his needs. A higher grade Of salespeople is thus required in the home store. To make a sale that will stick so near home the customer must be given intelligent advice.
 Thus the public denlalids from the home store more competent service than it exacts from the distant mer- chant. This means additional ex- pense which is counierbabnced by lower rate and like economics. When you consider how generously the homo store responds to all kinds of reasonable and unreason- able, the range of it's prices is re- low. ,.i !. 2 .s
