Political Notes

President Wilson, yesterday, sent to
the Senate the name of Frank Hughes
to be postmaster at Florence.
The name Of Charles C. Cowperthwait
has been mentioned in connection with
the Republican nomination for Surro-
gate, but Mr.. Cowperthwait says this is
without his consent as he does not have
any intention OF entering the contest.
Senator Wells bill to exempt Burling-
ton county from the provisions of the
Freeholders' pay law was passed by the
Senate last evening. The present law
provides that counties of 10000 shall pay
their Freeholders $500 per year. By the
last census Burlington had $4,000 per-
sons and this law would apply. Sena-
tor Wells bill will increase the provision
of the law from 10000 to $4,000 and con-
tinue the Freeholders of this county on
a per diem basis.
One of the most earnest members of
the Progressive party was former Speaker
of the Assembly, Frank B. Jess, of Cam
den, who came out last week in a state
ment that he could not cast his lines
with that party any longer. He still
adheres to former President Roosevelt,
but thinks the nomination of the latter
should come from the Republican party.
Following this declaration there were
conferences in Newark to discuss the ad-
visibility of putting Roosevelt delegates
in the field. Former Senator White, of
this county, attended one of these meet
ings.
This is the year when the political
parties in this state elect members of
the State Executive Committee. The
Republicans have not begun to consider
who their candidate shall be, but the
Democrats are said to be looking around
for man to succeed Richard P. Hughes,
of Florence, who has held the position
for three years, and who has performed
the duties very satisfactorily-from a
Democratic standpoint. 1t is reported
that some of the friends of James Mer-
Ger Davis are urging him to cast his
derby into the ring. 1t was derby hat
that probably saved Mr.. Davis from
serious injury, recently, when a lot of
tin buckets fell and struck him on the
hat. Possibly this is the same good
luck" derby that is to be SHE'D into the
State Committee ring.

Norman h. Grey, as advisory master
in chancery in Camden, heard testimony
Thursday on the petition of Mrs. Susie
Veigel, of Delran township, against her
husband, William Veigel, for mainten-
ance. Mrs. Veigel, in her petition, al
legged that her husband became addicted
to drink and .eglected his work. She
further alleged that he deserted her in
1911 and that in the last two years he
had given her only $1,000. Veigel de-
MED his wife's allegations and asked
that the petition be dismissed and that
he be given the custody of his child.
Decision was reserved.
The date of the next meeting of the
Parent Teacher Association has been
changed to suit the convenience of DR..
Calvin N. Kendall, state commissioner
Of education, who will address the meet
ing, and it will be held in the high
school auditorium tomorrow night. An
interesting program has been arranged
including solo by Mrs. w. r. Trow-
bridge. 1t is regretted that this is the
evening when three Of the churches have
their weekly prayer service. But az
educational and religious interests arr
closely associated, the pastors of thes'
churches have agreed to have an early
short service that all may have an OPP
lportunity TO hear DR.. Kendall. A com
mittee from the Association has visited
the parents of all the children connected
with the schools, and endeavored TO en-
list their interest and cooperation in tn
Association, and their attendance a
this meeting. The teachers want to NEE
and know the parents, and the parent
should know the teachers who play sue
q great part in the molding tof the live
iof their children.

Simple Cure for Temper

In an eastern divorce case the judge gave
this advice to a young husband and wife:
There has been q bad exhibition of temper
on both sides Unless the temper is curbed
evil viii come to both OF YOU Il is a thing
that from a small beginning reaches quickly a
bad ending"
VIII the young man and woman heed the ad
monition
Perhaps not for the worst thing about TEN
per" is the satisfaction which its indulgence
gives 10 its possessor. but those who have the
habit usually call il pride or high spirit
Thus disguised, temper causes more domestic
misery than intemperaECe.
And yet It's cure Is often very simple. Persons
who viii not curb temper because it Is a vice
will often do so merely for appearances.
In a certain school. the young women are
taught that any display Of temper Is vulgar and
not good form.
When preaching fails, this teaching often
proves effective.
