South Bethlehem, Pa, March "a.
Specific instances Of the arbitrary
working OF the Full Crew-"Excess
Man Crew"-Laws have just been af-
forded here. They show how these
laws work to the burden Of the rail-
roads and how they are sometimes
availed of by trainmen to prevent eff
f1cient service.
A four-car passenger train was
made up on the Reading Railway
about to leave for Philadelphia. Under
a hurry order the Loretta" private
car Of Charles M Schwab, was at
tached to this train at the last minute.
This made it necessary, in order to
comply with the Full Crew Law, to
increase the train crew from five to
six men, although the private car had
its W crew and made nothing for
the train crew to look after.
1t so happened that a trainman was
In one Of the coaches, returning to
Philadelphia. He was instructed to
take the position of extra man. Thus
instead of riding to Philadelphia as a
uSdu uedu, AS pSCdHS d mSuuSI
of the crew and received pay for the
trip.
On the Lehigh Valley Railroad a
train of empty cars had been made up
by a yard crew. When the road crew
of five took charge a trainman was
seen to cut out the last car, which
happened to be a foreign line box car.
When asked why, he replied that they
weren't going to take a train longer
than required. The effect was to leave
q box car in the yard, entailing a per
diam charge upon the company.

The Russian Government has called
home all their citizens of this country.
A steamship will leave New York City
April 18Th for Archangel. This Rus
sian seaport is Oh the White Sea where
navigation is only open three months.
France has also called home all theli
citizens in this country qualified for
military duty, also their SONS. Most OF
the Frenchmen live in Louisiana where
the call has made much commotion
because every person born in those
countries also their sons are considered
citizens subject to call, even tho they
have renoW ned their native govern
ment and become citizens of these

State Board To Investigate

AT the meeting of the State Board of
Education in Trenton last Saturday a
resolution was adopted that the Advis-
DRY Committee investigate alleged vio-
lations of the law by School Commits
sions of various municipalities.
John P. Murry said that Inspector
Hopkins of the Department of Ac-
counts has reported that some boards
begin their meetings later THAI s
O'Clock at night, which is illegal, by
resolving themselves into committees
of the whole and meeting secretly until
midnight, when, every IL having
gone home, they begin their regular
business sessions. MI. Murry charged
that members of a certain board were
interested in contracts let by that
body. He said that school property
vas given away and that in a number
of instances bills had been ordered paid
which were greatly in exce,s of con-
tract prices.

ed, too.
There's nothing like is in the world,

OF the kind Of Paradise this whole world

like Colorado. And its dry or will be in

wasn't due to Billy Sunday or any other

Hope l haven't tired you with my cat

can't help from rambling about on +

THOMAS JEFFERSON
BORN APRIL Ii, I743

The exact date of the birth of
Thomas Jefferson was not generally
known until after his death. His
chief reason for Withholding it from
public knowledge was his unwilling
ness that it should be made occasion of
public commemoration like Washing
toms birthday. He said that he did
not s'wish to transfer the honOrs and
v%eneration for the first birthday of our
republic to any Individual, !" and there
fore took pains to suppress informa-
ton concerning his own birthday. In
his fathers Book of Common PRAYER
he kept a complete record in his own
handwriting, and it was here found
after his death that the date of his birth
was April 2, (old s'ylr) Ig4s. MS
SENATOR HoAR's EULoGY
The author of the Declaration of In-
dependence stands in human history as
Chef foremost man who even lived, whose
influence has led men to govern them
selves in the conduct of states by spir-
ltual laws, not formulas to be absented
TO, but rules of life to be governed by.
Ii was due TO Jefferson that our fathers
laid deep the foundation of the state
IN the moral law. They first set to
mankind the great ex nipple and exaib-
lied the mighty spectacle-the sublim-
est spectacle i'll the universe-of a
great and free people voluntarily gov
erning itself 10y a law higher than its
own desire.
He will hold his place among the
worlds immOrtals as the author and
hnlsher of that great charter Of human
rights and foremost architect among
the builders of free institutions, when
those who now speak and act in hollow
mockery OF his example, and selfish
serVlcency to his glory, are but forgot
ten dust. His is a safe name for these
to Juggle with for popular favor; but
his loyalty to conscience and sublime
courage to resist popularity when il
demanded sacrifice of manly indepen-
dence are and will remain to them
unknown virtues.

A Startling Contrast.

Two large New jersey Organizations
have taken a stand on the Woman Stuff
rage question during the past few weeks
The character of the organizations is
sufficient indication OF the moral values
of votes for New Jersey women. On
February Goth the New Jersey Liquor
Dealers Protective Association met in
Jersey City and passed a resolution OPP
posing woman suffrage and urging every
member of the organization to do his
utmost to defeat it.
On March 4th the South Jersey Confer
ence OF the Methodist Episcopal Church;
unanimously passed a resolution endors-
ing Woman Suffrage and urging, the
Methodist Churches of the state to work
fol- it.

Trenton. N. I. March Is.

AIcIlOn, IN. j., March e.
Earnest attention is being given here
b the fact developed that the Full Crew
-"excess man crew'-Law is robbing
the Commonwealth of New Jersey of a
large amount in taxes. This is all the
more important when it is realized that
the state sorely needs increased revenue
and the Legislature is now confronted
with the problem of providing it, very
likely by new taxes upon the people.
Referring to this matter in an editor,
ial, the Jersey Journal of Jersey City,
One of the leading newspapers of the
state, says:
AT the hearing on the bill to repeal
the Full Crew law in Trenton yester-
day it was brought out that this law
costs railroads in New Jersey 1867, 900
q year and that the annual loss to the
State in taxes, on account of the Full
Crew law, is $4,000.
1.-THE railroad tax is based upon the
net earnings of the roads and natur-
ally the net earnings are decreased BY
each increase in operating expenses.
Regardless of the merits of the
main question at issue, the fact that
the law reduces tax income by $4,000
= year presents this full crew problem
to the public in a new and hitherto
Rnconsidered light" 4

FRIENDS AND SUFFRAGE

Friends have endorsed Woman Suffrage
and the resolution adopted by the Soci-
ETY. of Friends at their Yearly Meeting in
Philadelphia, reads. In view of the fact
that the Religious Society of Friends by
reason of its inheritance, and present Or
ganization gives evidence of the advant-
age which results to the home to the
meeting, and the community through a
full recognition of the dignity of Woman
and her right to complete development.
The Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the
Religious Society Friends records it's en-
dorsement of Equal Suffrage as a principle
of Justice to Woman, and as All opportun-
ity for more effective service. The Yearly
Meeting recommended that Monthly
Meetings be watchful for opportunities to
influence. Equal Suffrage Legislation
and encourage their members to give &C.
tive interest in the accomplishment of
this reform.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country h all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &c
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case 1t
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes-
timonials.

Large Boats Will Leave

The large passenger steamers Narragan-

mington at a cost of $3.50, 600 each
for the Central Vermont Navigation Co.,
will leave Wilmington for New London
soon. They were anchored in the Della
ware river channel all last summer.
They will be laid up there until a
stretch of railroad between Providence,
K. l., and Palmer, Mass. is completed
and then will be placed in service to run
a competing line on Long Island Sound
to complete railroad competition thru
New England States.

COMMENT

These United States consists of for
W hVe small nations united into one
federal government. The inhabitants
comprise persons from all nations in
Europe or their d~escendents. They
have lived tremendously together for
I39 years with the exception of the
strife over slavery. There has been 70
wal for % years with al adjoining ma
tlon and none for 100 years with the
nation OH the north, Canada. For four
thousand miles there is neither a fort.
gunboat OF armed camp.
Why has peace lasted so long while
tratrlcldal strites have devasted Euro
pean countries :?
LII is because this nation was founded
upon the political philosophy of Thomas
Jefferson, lis declared by U. S. Senator
George 4. Hoar, II of the greatest
Republican statesmen Massachusetts
ever produced.
Jefferson declared:
treason and inquiry are the only

Education is the true corrective of
abuses of constitutional power"
The principles which has kept the
nation from envy, prejudice, and
greed prevalent i'll other nations is free
speech, free press, freedom il religion
and the assimilation of all different
citizens thru the public schools.
JEFFERSON POLICY
is to adhere TO principles, not men, who
While wise in some things, err in others.
