New Jersey Day At
Home Of The Edisons

One of the most notable features of
the Biennial Convention of the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
now being held in New York City,
was the reception to the delegates
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas A.
Edison, last Tuesday afternoon, at
their home in West Orange.
1t was an occasion long to be re-
membered. The delegates number
ing between eight and nine hundred,
on conservative estimate, left Jersey
City by special trains. Arriving at
the West Orange station they were
conveyed by automobiles to the
Edison home, Glenmont, in Llewellyn
Park.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edison received in
the long drawing room. The receiv-
ing party stood at the left of the
room before background of tall
palms. Assisting Mr.. and Mrs.
Edison were Mrs. Pennypacker, presi-
dent of the General Federation; Mrs.
William Jennings Bryan, Mrs. w. l..
Smith, president of the Woman's
Club of Orange, Mrs. Sheath, of Ohio;
Mrs. Jones Brown, and Mrs. Stock
ton, president Of the New Jersey
State Federation.
At one end of the room was sta
toned the orchestra From the re-
ceiving hour, 2.30 until late after
noon, the brillian assemblage of wo-
men representing almost every state
in the Union filled the wide Railways
and great rooms of the inventors
home. From the reception hall the
guests passed into the semi-circrlar
conservatory from which they entered
the far end of the drawing room.
Following the presentation refresh
ments were served in the dining
room. From the dining room opens
the music room and here an inter-
esting program of Indian songs was
given by a young Mohawk chieftain
in native costume. A memorable
and effecting incident of the occasion
was the singing of the National an
them by the delegates to the orches-
trail accompaniment. The rooms
were decorated with palms and
American Beauty roses. Blazing
logs filled the great open freplaces
in the reception hall and drawing
room. Everywhere was the atmo-
sphere of graceful comfort and ex-
quisite taste, everywhere the charm
of quiet dignity and simple elegance,
rejecting, as it seemed, the simple,
transformations bearing of the master
and mistress of Glenmont.
Following the reception at the
Edison home was the reception and
luncheon at a o'clock at the new Club
House of the Woman's Club, of
Orange which was largely attended.
The club house with it's spacious, ele-
gantly appointed rooms was the SUBJ
ject of much enthusiastic comment.
The delegates returned to New York
on the late afternoon trains.

Woman's Club Holds
Last Spring Meeting

On Friday, May 10, the Woman's
Club, of Palisade, held their last
meeting of the season, and Miss
Marion Carter, of New York City,
was the soloist Of the afternoon, CIV
ing three most interesting vocal num-
bers. can Old English Pastoral" by
Lang, "Sunbeams," by Ronald and
"Cuckcoo," by Liza Lehman. Miss
Carter's rendition of these selections
was most artistic, displaying SYM
pathetic quality of voice and excel
lent diction, her expression was all
that could be desired. The Rev. Dr.
Morgan, of Calvary Methodist Epis-
copal Church, 10th street and
Seventh avenue, New York City, was
the speaker of the afternoon, giving
the ladies a most inspiring talk on
Community Life. DR.. B. Morgan's
main point was for each one in a
community to cultivate and express
their own individuality and harmonize
it for the good Of the community. Dr.
Morgan quoted Horace Greeley as
having said flame is vapor, popu-
larity an accident, riches take wings
Those who cheer to-day will curse to-
morrow, there is one thing that en-
dures, character Mrs. Purdon
presented our retiring president, Mrs
Bradshaw, with beautiful bouquet
of roses, and made very eloquent
speech. The house and reception
committee made the room most at
tractive with spring blossoms and
graceful branches of dogwood. The
ladies of the refreshment committee
served a most delicious collation., and
the afternoon was voted most sue
cessful and enjoyable one. Mrs
James Stewart entertained DR.. Nor
gan and Miss Carter for dinner that
evening.

Reception In Honor
Of New Members

A reception was given on Thurs
day of last week by the deacons Of
the Congregational Church to the
members who have been received into
the church during the last year. The
reception was delightful and largely
attended.
A program was presented includ-
ing songs by Miss Dorothy Ken
worthy and Mrs. o. R. Saint; trio by
Helen Haage, Nina Schomber and
Estelle Kenworthy; reading by Mrs.
Gray, "Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" The church was profusely
decorated with flowers, the whole
being made to look like beautiful
drawing room. Pastor Church pre-
sided and kept the function from be-
coming too formal by his drool say
ings.

Swabs Wanted For
Trolley Cars When
Seats Are Rain Wet

Passengers on the trolley cars leav-
ing the Edgewater ferry frequently
have to face two or three feet of wet
seats after the cars have come
through showers. 1t would be a
much needed convenience if the Pub
lie Service would have the ferry house
manager look after this and swab of
the seats. 1t would be appreciated
and would not require much time.

Reception In HonorOf
Reu. and Mrs. Lewis
A charming reception was held
the Mutt residence inum

Lewis, former rector of Trinity
Church, Grantwood, and Mrs. Lewis.
A large body of the rector's and his
wife's old friends were present to
greet them. The interest of the oc-
casion was increased by the accidental
discovery of the fact that it was the
clergyman's birthday. This feature
of the reception was recognized by
the presentation, by Miss Anne Mutt,
to Rev. Lewis, of beautiful birth
day cake bearing many lighted
candles.
A poem in honor of the event
which had been written by David
Arthur Carson, was read by him.
Rev. Lewis responded in happy
speech, in which he expressed his
pleasure at being among his old
frieds.

he substituted nothing in its place and
left the Mexican people to anarchy
Was that leaving Mexico alone regarJ-

Then President Wilson backed villa

then he backed out. Was that inter-
ferring or not? Then he permitted
arms to be shipped to Mexico, then he

These three mining engineers hap
pened to be Democrats but they were

that they were going to vote for

And Mr.. Coulter adds:
Suppose organized labor by it's
vote elects President Wilson in Move
ember. Suppose again the railroad
corporations should make it appear to
President Wilson that their safety
rested alone in a twelve hour law. OF
course President Wilson would again
address Congress and demand from it
a twelve hour law, thus effectually de-
creasing the wages of employees en-
gagged in interstate commerce"
In comenting on the Adamson Law
Mr.. H. N. Pope, President of the
Association of State Farmers Union
Presidents, stated:
"If we are to extend the horizon
of this new form of legislative ben
evidence to all railroad employees, as
well as to the employees of all other
lines of industry. it will take the
American wheat crop to finance the
eight hour law"
Many Democratic papers commented
adversely on the principle of legisla-
ton without investigation or delibera-
ton and among them the Agusta (Ga.)
Chronicle said:
Unless the people or their coarts
undo this revolutionary legislation

The Houston Post said in an article
headed Execution First. the Trial

ciple of execution in advance of the

wages of the best paid men in the
world of employees. is considered dan
gerous to our form of government.
If Congress yields under threat of
violence to the railroad men, why
should they not yield to any other
labor organization or to capital and if
Congress and the President yield
timidly first to one class and then
another, the inevitable result is an
archy.
If President Wilson were really the
friend of labor he pretends to be,
why did he make the speeches quoted
above and why did he increase the
wages of the highest paid employees
in the world instead of the wages of
the track men and others who need
it much worse?

was influenced by the possibility of

We have been asked to vote for
President Wilson because he brought
us prosperity. The facts are that after
the passage of the Underwood low tar
iff law. there were bread lines in east
ern cities, hundreds of thousands of
idle men, and all our ports were bulg-
ing with goods made by cheap foreign
labor.
Then came the war, which had the
effect of high tariff to protect Ameri-
can workmen, and war orders which
put everybody at work and brought
prosperity in spots. The South did
not prosper because President Wilson
permitted England to bluff us out OF
our right to sell cotton to neutrals.
And many other sections of the coun-
try have not prospered in business
developed by the great war and not
by President Wilson.
We are asked to vote for President
Wilson because he is the friend of
labor Before Mr.. Wilson was elected
President. he stated in a baccalau-
reate sermon, preached June 18th, 1909
as follows:
"You know that the usual standard
of the employee is in our day 1t is
to give as little as he may for his
wages. In some trades and handi-
crafts no one is suffered to do more
than the least skillful of his fellows
can do within the hours allotted to
days labor, and no one can work out
of hours at all or volunteer anything
beyond the minimum. ! need not
point out to you how economically
disastrous such a regulation of labor
is The labor of America is rapidly
becoming Improbable under it's
present regulation by those who have
determined to reduce it to a minimum.
Our economic supremacy may be lost
because the country grows more and
more full of Improbable servants"
In letter dated January 18th, 1903
partisan of the open shop and of every
thing that makes for individual
liberty"
At dinner in the Waldorf-Astoria
an March 11th, 1907, Mr.. Wilson spoke
as follows: I'VE speak too exclusively
of the capitalistic class. There is
another as formidable an enemy to
equality and freedom of opportunity
as it is, and that is the class formed
by the labor organizations and leaders
of this country
The above. my fellow voters is what
Woodrow Wilson thought of organized
labor when he was not looking for
votes. You all know from the papers
what he apparently thought of organic
ed labor when he permitted himself
and Congress to make the Adamson
Bill a law without deliberation or in
vestigation, literally at the point of a
gun in the shape of nationwide
strike.
In commenting on this law, Mr.
Charles c. Coulter, special representa-
tive of the American Railorad EN-
ployees Journal of Kansas City, said.
Does organized labor understand
and appreciate that it has, by Presi-
dent Wilson initiative, surrendered it's
right of private contract with the
