TO VOTE FoR POSTMASTER.
Newark Democrats Will Hold prl-
mary To Select Official.

10 oIder to fill the vacancy OF post.
master Of Newark. Del, occasioned by
the recent death Of ]. w. Brown, United
States Senator Willard Salisbury has
arranged for the holding of primary
election to decide upon the aspirant he
will recommend to President Wilson for

plan has been adopted although it has
been in vogue 10 many western states.
There are four candidates for the
coveted position, and the Senator was in
a dilemma as to which one to choose.
The applicants are: Andrew L Fisher. a
former member OF the State Legislature
Levi X. Bowen. editor of the Newark
Ledger; T, Roseby McMulen of Pencader
hundred and one of the best known
Democrats in that com munity; and Cap
tain Joseph H. Hossinger. Mayor of
Newark.
Senator Salisbury told the aspirants
that he was desirous of recommending
one OF them for the position. but that
it was hard matter to make selection.
and asked them if they could come to an
agreement as to which one should secure
the place.
The aspirants told the Senator they
would be glad to hear any suggestion he
might have to offer. and it was then that
he suggested the selection Of the post
master by primary election. They all
agreed that this was the most reasonable
method that could be adopted. and all
said they would be bound by the result.
The election will be held in the Newark
Ledger building on Saturday afternoon,
October 80. between 1 and o'clock. and
any Democrat qualified to vote at pri-
mary election under Democratic county
rules who gets his mail from Newark

Liberty Bell Enroute Home.

After being exhibited at the San Francisco
exposition, the historic Liberty bell is now
enroute to its home In Independence hall in
Philadelphia. The peoples Of the world have
always been devotees of symbolism and as a
general proposition. the more thoroughly ideal
istlc people the greater the influence Of SYM
bols. Communities and individuals therefore
which adhere most closely TO the ideals which
this historic bell symbolEes havo shown the
greatest interest in it during its travels with
out a knowledge and appreciation Of its SYM
hoiism, the old bell would scarcely be an at
traction to any but the junk man, yet In the
estimation of patriotic citizens OF the United
States II is the most valuable piece OF metal in
the world. for II stands as the emblem of the
charter of our liberties That transporting It
from place to place is taking a risk cannot be
questioned. but to many who have witnessed
the influence upon the millions who have thus
been given an opportunity TO see II, its influ-
ence in quickening patriotic sentiment is
deemed ample recompense for the risk To
those of our citizenship whose ancestry and
traditions lead back to the days when the bell
first pealed its notes of liberty Il probably has
"A more intimate personality. but from the man
ner OF its reception It can well be doubted
whether IT carried to those any deeper meaning
than TO the great mass OF more recent arrivals
on our shores. While everyone who reveres the
relic viii feel easier when II has reached its
permanent home thoughtful observers see that
its travels have carried home a valuable lesson.

Exports of Pure. Bred Stock.

American stockmen are now reaping
reward in an entirely unexpected way for their
efforts to build up the quality of their live
stock. Up to recently the United states has
lever been looked to by breeders in other lands
for anything except horses in the driving and
harness racing classes. In which latter fields IL
has for many years been pre-eminent For the
best in cattle and draft horses the newer coun-
tries of the world have always looked to Europe,
the United States among the rest SO persist
emily has this country followed the practice OF
importing the best in this line from Europe
that its horses and cattle have been bred up to
a high standard, and a result, now that the
war interferes with European expectations, the
reople in other countries have turned to the
United States and find here Just what they
want.
No country in the world is better adapted
10 raising such stock than the United States
and with the long years OF building up the
quality OF breeding animals II is not unreason-
Lble to believe that when conditions which
compelled outsiders to seek this market have
passed away this most profitable business
cannot only be retained but increased. The ad-
vantages which accrue from such business are
manifold. Not only is there profit in 1t, but It
is an incentive to still further improve the live
stock and gives the farmer a direct and added
interest in the foreign trade of the nation.
There is no good reason why the United
States should not be the worlds leader In
quality as we'll as quantity in live stock pro-
duction and nothing is lacking now except
more general attention to scientific methods.
The complaint in Europe for years has been
that the United States was robbing, through
purchase, the old countries OF the best OF their
live stock, and certainly this has laid the
groundwork for a great exporting industry,
