WHAT A NEW JERSEY
 CANDIDATE STANDS FOR
Joseph S. Frelinehuysen Says cOun- try Should be in Position to Pro- teet Itself.

tect Itselfs
 There is interest in this vicinity in the candidacy of Joseph S. Freling- huysen for the United States senator ship in New Jersey whose declaration of principles includes the following:
 Protection is and has been the key stone of the republican party. It was the republican party under Lincoln that protected and preserved the na- tion. Under that party and protection the country has grown and prospered.
 l am a protectionist to the extent that it is necessary to safeguard our industries and our labor from undue foreign competition. When the Euro pean war is over some of the nations engaged in 1t will be well-nigh if not wholly bankrupt, and they will strug- gle to gain our markets. We cannot afford to let industries which we have developed be ruined by the competi- tion of labor in foreign lands.
 I am in favor of the revision Of the tariff so that the industries will be protected and so that our army of workers shall not be thrown out Of employment favor, however, the establishment of a permanent body whose duty it shall be to carefully and scientifically study all tarin questions and report thereon to congress; a body so constituted as to be fires from par ttsan influences: a body whose sole object will be to work for the greatest good of all the people, and the pro- lection of the industries and commerce of our country.

HOPES FOR INDUSTRIAL CALM. Important Statement of David Hale Tanning Quoted by Worcester Pulp Iication-Danqer in Labor Aaitation.

The Voter and His Employer, an in dustrial and political magazine pub Hshed in Worcester, Mass, contains what 1t announces as one of the most remarkable statements from busi- ness, industrial and economical stand point ever given out by any citizen of any community in the form of an opinion issued by David H. Tanning, president of the Royal Worcester Cor set company, for the benefit and vel fare of the 165,000 people who consti- tute the population of Worcester.
 MT. Earnings company is capitalized at $8O0,000, being one of the largest manufacturing establishments in Mas sachusetts. In his statement he says:
 "Ttere are in this city six corset companies, having their factories and administrative offices here, and, for the greater part, the controlling inter est and stock of these six mpanies is owned by citizens of Worcester.
 They employ 2,000 or more people, the greater part of whom are women.
 These companies pay taxes to the city of about $9,000 per annum. Their aggregate weekly payrolls are in the neighborhood of S1S,00O.
 'When the corset, industry was started in Worcester all the corsets used in the United States were made in foreign countries. All the money for the making of them went into for eign hands. The push and energy of Worcesters corset manufacturers have eliminated this foreign competition, and kept at home a vast sum of money which goes largely into our home life
 "All these things are of the very greatest moment and importance to our retail business men. Were any condition possible to arise, whether by reason of adverse legislation, labor agitation, tax disturbance or what not which would cause this great com me1@ial industry, or any part of it. to be taken away from Worcester, the damage to our city. it's citizens and its future would hardly be possible tc estimate''

vate enterprise with governmental as- sistance, if necessary. For many years the great need of our com merce has been an outlet. Today we have an opportunity to find an outlet but we lack the vessels.
 I believe that agricultural develop ment is an important province of gov ernment, therefore, I will seek to energeticaIly promote such federal legislation as will assist our farming industry.
 If we wish to continue free and in- dependent and to grow and prosper we must, prepare to repel any on slaught by others, who perhaps i'm poverished, yet powerful, may look with covetous eyes on our great wealth and seek to rehabilitate them selves, if possible, at our expense. ] believe, therefore, that it is the duty of this country to place itself in po- sition where it can protect itself.

COnquers Rheumatism In a Very Few Days

One-half teaspoonful of Rheuma taken once day has driven the pain and agony from thousands of racked, crippled and despairing rheumatics during the last five years.
 Powerful and sure; quick acting, yet harmless; Rheuma gives blessed relief almost at once. The magic name has reached every hamlet in the land and there is not druggist anywhere who cannot tell you-if he will-of al- most marvellous cures.
 If you are tortured with rheuma- tisn or sciatica, you can get two bot ties of Rheuma from Lee 6 Osgood Co. or any druggist for not more than S1.00 with the understanding that if it does not drive rheumatic poisons from your system-money back.

How to Attract the Birds.

 "A good many species, to be sure, build their own nests to suit them selves. They chose their own quarters and vii have nothing to do with all those cute little houses and nesting boxes which we put up so insinuating- ly about the garden-always in places
