SUFFRAGE IN NEW JERSEY.


The overwhelming defeat of woman
suffrage in New Jersey is regarded
as a blow to President Wilson's poll
tical prestige, all the more so because
the vote against it was 2 to 1 in Mr..
Wilson s own precinct. Without in
the least 'criticizing the president,
some of the more astute leaders Of
the suffrage movement have regarded
it as a decided misfortune that the
presidents announcement that he
would vote for. suffrage should have
been followed Immediately by the an
nouncement of his engagement to be
married. i, 1t was as these women
pointed out, inevitable that many
whoamight have been Influenced by
President Wilson's declaration on
the:'suffrage question would suspect,

early to start the political kettle sim

be considered immaterial in cases
where the candidates ambition would
be nobody's business but his own.

following to say In regard to j. u.

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES.

Probably as many as twO-thirds of
the delegates to the next national
party conventions will be selected
through primary elections under the
laws of the different states. Most of
the states probably will vote for the
delegates pledged either to ''fa-
vorite son" candidate or unpledged.
The system whereby each state
holds it's own primary is meaningless.
All that it does to give an opportu-
nifty to any popular man to make a
fight in his town state for the honor
of being named the ':favorite son" !"
Where a resident of any state is
an aspirant for that honor it r. is
hardly likely that candidate from
another state will contest with him.
For instance, primaries in Ohio might
result in choice to Burton, Willis
or Herrick, but the voters of the state
would have no opportunity to say
how they felt about former Senator
Root as a candidate. ... ..-.~ :
Thus the net results of the pri-
maries in the different states are
likely to give nothing more, than
local backing to dozen or more men
who will be mere stalking horses
for the collection of delegates that
will do what the organization wants
when it comes to the real business of
the convention, which will be when
the hopelessness of the ''favorite SOM
cause is beyond doubt. - - =
The Republican national commit
tee has compiled a list of primary
states which shows that nearly two
thirds of the delegates will be- selected
at the primaries. Eighteen states
have presidential primary laws now
The Alabama legislature which is in
session is expected to add that state
to the list. The Vermont. legislature
passed a primary law last winter
| with a referendum attachment and
there is little doubt but that this law
will be approved by the people next
month. . The legislatures, in Kansas,
Mississippi and Virginia meet in. Jam

Jude OF time in drawing the magic
passport from his pocket and gloating
over the cabalistic legend "Compli'
mentary," with the accompanying au-
tograph of the fat old manager with
the broad, bejeweled expanse of shirt
front, and a watch seal as big as a
walnut: while on the reverse side he
would glut his vision with an Eek
terror view of the monster pavilion"
where a girl poised high in air on
cord, in spangled Dress" was kissing
her hand to a mighty concourse OF
neople who waved their hats and
handkerchiefs in widest token of ap'
proyal and acclaim. Nor was this the
sole cause of Tod's delight, for the tat
man with the big watch seal had
seemed to take a special fancy to him,
and had told him he might bring a
friend along, that his ticket would
mass two. AS the gleeful Tod was
scampering off to ask the teacher II
he wouldn't go, he met his anxious
father in a deep state of Distress anu
was led home to listen in agony ana
tears to a dismal dissertation on the
wickedness of shows, and the unend'
ing punishment awaiting the poor,
giddy moths that fiuttered round them.
Tod was missing next morning. he
had retired very early the evening
nrevious, "He acted strange-like,
said the good grandmother, recalling
vaeuelv that he hadn't eaten any sup
per "and 1 thought heard him crying
in the night. What was the matter
with him, Isaac"
Two weeks later Tod was discoV'
cred by his distracted father and an
officer covering behind roll of can
vas. wherein a fat man sat declaring
with a breezy nonchalance that no boy
of Tod's description was along O
this.'ere party." And the defiant fod'
when brought to light, emphatically
asserted that the fat man was in no
wise blamable; that he had run away
on his own hook, and would do it
again If he wanted to. But he broke
there with a heavy sob; and the fat
man said: There! there! Cootsey, go
along with the old 'un, and here's a
dollar for you" And Tod cried aloud.
The good minister had brought a
letter for him. too, and as the boy
read it through his tears he turned
homeward almost eagerly.
Dear Tod Tit ran1, have been quite sick
since YOU left me. You must come back,
for I miss you, and I can never get well
again without you. I've got a new kink

so we'll, indeed, did he acquit himself
that the good old father failed to CEN.
sure him that evening for the sin Of
fighting, and perhaps never would
have done so had not the poor blind
man so far forgotten the dignity of his
great affection as to get as drunk as
he was blind two evenings following,
and play the fiddle in front of the
meeting house during divine service.
It was in the vacation following
these latter mentioned incidents that
a far more serious occurrence took
place.
Tod had never seen circus, for un-
til this eventful epoch in our simple
history the humble little village had
never been honored with the presence
Of this most highly moral and in
structive exhibition of the age" When
the grand cavalcade, with its blaring
music and its richly caparisoned
horses, with their nodding plumes and
spangles, four abreast, drawing the
identical "fery chariot" Tod had heard
his father talk about; when all the
highly painted wagons with their mys-
FERROUS contents, and the cunning fairy
ponies with their little, fluffy names
and dossy tails-when all this burst
upon Tod's enraptured eyes, he fell
mutely into place behind the band
wagon, with its myriad followers; and
so, dazed, awestricken and entranced,
accompanied the pageant on its grand
triumphal march around the town.
Tod carried water for the animals;
Tod ran errands of all kinds for the
showmen; Tod looked upon the gruff,
ill-teppered canvas hand with an awe
approaching reverence. Tod was 60
ing-to the show, too, for he had been
most fortunate in exchanging his poor
services of the morning for the open

friend and teacher.
Tod went home. He fastened to
the teachers darkened room. The
dear old face had grown pale-so very
pale! The kindly hand that reached
out to grasp the boys was thin and
wasted, and the gentle voice that he
had learned to love was faint and
low-so very low, it sounded like a
prayer. The good minister turned ST.
lently and left the two old friends to-
gether; and there were teardrops In
his eyes.
And so the little, staggering life
went on alone. Some old woman gos-
sip, peering through the eye of a
needle on the institution known as
the Ladies' Benevolent Sewing So

Ing a plug hat in the most exultant
and defiant manner. This piece OF
grotesoue art and others equally sug.
gestive of the outcropping genius OF
their author, were put YEARLY aside
only serving, as it seemed, to deepen
rather than dissolve the gloom en-
shrouding the good fathers race;
And so the exercises wore along TILL
recess came, and with it came the
missing Tod.
"I'm in time, am I? Goody!" shout
ed Tod, jumping over small boy VINO
had stopped to pick up a slate pencil
and stopping abruptly in front OF the
teachers desk.
"Why Tod; what in the world"
Tod's features wore proud, exult-
ant smile, though somewhat glamoured
with a network of spiteful-looklng
scratches; and his eyes were more
than usually bright, although their
lids were blue and swollen to a size
that half concealed them. His head,
held jauntily erect, suggested moth
ing but boyish spirit; but his hair,
tousled beyond all reason, with little
wisps of it glued together with clots
of blood; his best clothes soiled and
torn; bruised and naked knee
showing through straight rent across
one leg of his trousers, conveyed the
idea of a recent passage through some
gauntlet of disastrous fortune.
It was nothing, Tod said, only on
his way to school he had come upon
a blind man who played the hddle
and sold leadpencils, and the boy VINO
had been leading him had stolen
something from him; and Tod had
voluntarily started in pursuit OF the
fugitive. to overtake him only after d
prolcnged chase of more than a mile.
"And now I've got you out O town,
said the offender, wheeling suddenly
upcn him, "fll jes' meller your neao
fer you!" After a long pause IN
which Tod's face was hidden from the
curious group about him, as the teach-
or bent above him at the back steps
pouring water on his head, he contln-
ued: Didn't think the little cuss was
so stout! Oh! I'm scratched up, but
YOU ought to see him! And you ought
to hear him boiler 'Nuff!' and you see
him hand over three boxes Of pens
and them penholders and pencils he
stord, and a whole bunch O en-
velopes; there's blood on some Of EN-
and he give me a leadpencil, too, with

would. He said We would always be

out beyond the signing tree tops, he
smiled to catch a CLEAN of sunshine
through the foolish cloud that tried
SO hard to Weon.
