London, Feb. THE Franco-Brit-

man protectorate in western equa-
torial Africa, reached a triumphant
conclusion when 900 Germans and
$4,000 colonial troops crossed into
Spanish Guinea and we're disarmed
and informed.
This blow to German arms repre-
sents one Of the greatest single strokes
Tor the allies since the war began.
1t is hailed with enthusiasm here be-
cause the Germans, informed in Span

as If they had surrendered.
The following official statement
comes from Madrid and is as follows

A centering of activity on the west,
on the Belgian and Artois fronts, Is
noticeable in the official statements,
thus adding weight to the prophecies
of a forthcoming German drive In
this sector in another effort to reach
Calais. The British and French artii-
lery is very active in this region, ap-
parently for the purpose Of hindering
the German preparations for the great
drive.
The Germans have displayed great
activity in the use of mines recently

Teddy's Face Making.

With all of the harsh things that
have been said against Theodore
Roosevelt, one must admire the one
potential factor of his exisetnce-the
love of being in the limelight.
One must hand this mighty man of
genius the whole bakery and the
cakes thrown into the bargain when
it comes to showing real cheek. Any
ordinary man would have known he
was whipped after he came out of the
Chicago convention with both eyes
blackened. But not Teddy. No
sooner was he repudiated than he
threw his own party over the gunnel
rail, stock and barrel. And now, as
the campaign leans close to the fin
ishing line, when it is beyond the
halfway post, out he comes once
more and begins his onslaught against
Wilson. He must hate the President
of his country worse than he does
snakes. He must despise him more
than a Mexican tarantula. If it were
not really against the law, we believe
that nothing would give Teddy greater

HOU HunOr Paid.

1t isn't often that a mans humor
can be turned to such good account
that it will be the means of cleaning
up a whole town. Yet this is what
occurred to Hartford City, Ind, some
time ago. The town had grown very
unkempt and disappearing. Dirt and
filth were everywhere visible. Pud-
dies of water were stagnant and
standing in the streets, because holes
had worn there, and no attention was
paid to conditions that were threat
ening to the name and good health
of the town.
1t happened that there was one hui
morist in the town. He saw this
situation was getting desperate, so
he rugged up fishing tackle, and
standing in the window of his office
one morning threw out his line and
began fishing. He looked liked the
typical fisherman in all particulars.
At first people laughed at him. He
was regarded as huge joke. Folks
passed him and laughed. He dug
some worms, baited his hook, drew it
up at stated periods, but never land
ed any fish, of course. He never ex-
pected to. He was fishing for better
game.
At last everybody joined in the
spirit of the thing, and the whole
town laughed. But about this time
the Getty fathers" got all riled and red
in the face. They spoke their minds
about the fisherman, but that never
feased him in the least. Strangers
who came to town that day and saw
him fishing, laughed. That finally be-
came too much for the citizens. They
saw that the laughing at first turned
on the fisherman was now aimed at
the authorities and the town, and
they were liable to suffer the ignominy
of the whole state.
Before anybody knew what was
happening steps were taken to clean
the city, and good job was done.
The story runs that the town is now
lovely enough for anybody, clean as a
pin and kept so. There are no more
fishing holes" in the city, and the
lone humorous fisherman has more
friends than anybody in town, regard
less of his eccentric method of re-
forming the town. 1t all goes to
prove that humor is always power
full good medicine.

for several years, strange physical

many years, it suddenly filled from

sure. He merely STAYED off an i'm

tentative yet effective, for the COM

the Eight-Hour Law. When the
measure of the situation has been
allowed the allotted time for expert
mentation, further report will be
made to Congress and the whole mat
ter adjusted to the demands of the
situation at that time.
If the law is found to be deficient,
steps will, of course, be taken to
make law that will fit the case, so
that the matter of threatening to tie
up the country's business interests
will no longer be possible.

Is His Record Clean.

The coming general election will
give the voter all kinds of candidates
from which to choose whom he thinks
will best represent the public inter-
ests. The one question that should
be asked about every man seeking
public office is, Is his record clean?
Then there are others.
Is he honest?
Does he possess the ability to fill
the Office he is seeking?
There are no other phases of the
campaign as important as these ques-
tions.
If they cannot be answered salts
factorily about the man asking your
suffrage, cut him off the list. If he
don't stack up, if he don't measure
up to your standards, mark his name
off your ballot.
Above all things see that the man
you vote for has no faint of graft,
or is associated with those about
whom the faint of graft exists.
If you were going to employ some
one to work for you, you would not
think of hiring anyone of shady repu-
tation. Would you?
Why, then, should you employ a
man to work for the State of New
Jersey whose reputation will not
stand the light of closest scrutiny?
Before palming off anyone with the
slightest suspicion about him, remem-
Der that public Office is a public
trust" and cast your vote accordingly

The UnknOUn God.

The human conceptions of the real
God and His attributes are as much
hidden to-day, as much misunderstood
as they have ever been. Perhaps there
is less concern now than formerly,
because enlightment has made a
certain modicum of progress, and the
"reasonableness of a rational view
has taken hold upon the more thought
full mind. The more the layman
undertakes to solve the mystery of
the worlds acceptation of God, the
worse at sea he is with regard to an
acceptable solution of what God really
represents and is.
A recent sermon by a local minister
gave a thoughtful idea upon the sub
ject of God, worthy of consideration
at this time To accept God on any
basis, must be always one of faith
Christ alone teaches the thought that
God is not revealed, and therefore we
must allow ourselves the consolation
that in accepting Christ, if the Chris
tian religion is the one above all re-
ligions, which all people are moi
ready to admit, however, we must al
low our faith to lead us. Whatever
there is that we do not know or un-
derstand, must, therefore, be taken as
matter of fact, whether or no. But
if we accept what the Savior of mer
said, there is no other process that
will satisfy the human heart that
seeks the Divine light except it leao
down the roadway of faith.
1t seems strange, though, that the
world being so filled with admonitions
of His being, His grace, His creative
power, His all-prevalency, Thousand
evidences of an Higher Infinite Power
in all that Nature reveals, that We
cannot see without other testimony
that God is real.

No Longer A Factor.

Long before Woodrow Wilson was
elected President, and while the ma
ton had been turned over to the
trusts, the masses of the people want
ed relief from the burden they were
carrying. Whatever the future might
have promised at that time, they
sought a change. They finally turned
to the party that has dominated the
Government for the past three years
and half. There was no other source
to which the public could have turn
ed. When this desire was apparent,

joy than to go up to Woodrow Wilson
and paste him one right under the
burr of the left ear good and hard.
With what ineffable joy would the
hero of San Juan Hill lob one over
the rear at the head Of the n1til!
Never mind, Teddy. yAu vii er

joy will come when you nail Wood
row Wilson to the cross. The day
may never come, but you have been
steadfast in your task, however much
you may have sacrificed those little
delicacies of life that give most real
gentlemen joy. You have drunk of
the bitter and the sweet, old man, and
now yours is just plain gall. And
that you don't like it is evident from
the face you are making.

MARITIME, Hughes and TeutOns.

The success of Senator MARITIME at
the primaries, and also, the victory
of Frelinghuysen, Republican for the
Senate, has given the German news
papers no little joy. The influence
exerted by the Teutonic citizens in
the primaries, will unquestionably do
row Wilson than all other things COM
bined. 1t will make the American
voter see clearly that the govern
ment of this country cannot be die
tated at Berlin, and since Hughes is
openly supported by that element, in
Guiding all of the German press, it is
going to make the general election
in November largely non-partisan.
The New York Tribune long be-
fore the nomination of Hughes tried
to get him to declare himself, de-
claring that saying anything after
the nomination would do no good. The
Tribune is giving Hughes no sort of
support, though it is died in the wool
Republican and always has been. The
Evening Post, with strong leaning
to Hughes, now admits the danger of
the situation, and characterizes him
as dismal failure. The Evening Post
also says the campaign is without
parallel, in that there are so many
objections to both candidates. The
Evening Post was strongly for Will
son until preparedness became an
issue, and now it cannot find enough
faults in him, albeit it declared his
speech of acceptance was a master
piece.
The big thing now for every warm
blooded American is to think of
America first, last and all the time,
so far as this election is concerned.
The utter lack of firmness evidenced
by Hughes, his petty Illusions to Will
son, and his cheap claptrap from the
beginning of his itinerary up to now,
has been about as far removed from
what really big man should repre-
sent as could be imagined. 1t just
simply isn't in him to be manly, and
that's all there is to it. He deserves
the defeat that is coming, for the
reason that he has played the game
like cad every minute.

The Ready Artists

The green is in the meadow and the
blue is in the sky
And all of natures artists have their
colors handy by,
With a few days bright with sun
shine and a few nights free from
frost,
They will start to splash their colors
quito regardless of the cost.
There's an artist waiting ready at
each bleak and dismal spot,
To paint the flashing tulip or the
meek for-get-me-not.
May is lurking in the distance and
her lap is filled with overs,
And the choicest of her blossoms
very shortly will be ours.
There is not a lane so dreary or
field SO dark with gloom,
But what soon will be resplendent
with it's little touch of bloom.
There's an artist keen and eager to
make beautiful each scene,
And remove with colors gorgeous
every trace of what has been.
O the world is now in mourning, round
about us all are spread
The ruins and the symbols of the
winter that is dead.
But the bleak and barren picture very
shortly now will pass
For the halls of life are ready for
their velvet rugs of grass,
And the painters now are waiting
with their magic to replace
This dullness with a beauty that no
mortal hand can trace.
The green is in the meadow and the
blue is in the sky,
The chill of death is passing, life
shall shortly greet the eye,
We shall revel soon in colors that
but natures artists make,
And the humblest plant that's sleep
ing unto beauty shall awake,
For there's not leaf forgotten, not
twig neglected there,
And the tiniest of pansies shall the
royal purple wear.

The President And The Eight-
Hour LuD.

1t would scarcely be possible to bet
ter clarity the situation surrounding
the Eight-Hour Law about which the
whole country has been surmising
since it was passed by Congress, than
was done by President Wilson last
Saturday at Shadow Lawn. His
speech before the business men should
set at rest all of the carping critics
who have almost gone mad with de-
mandatory remarks about why the
President made the surrender to the
labor leaders on that measure. He
tells of why it became necessary to
weigh the situation in the scale of
justice, then to work out a feasible
plan that would make it possible to
divert the great strike that was at
the moment in progress-a strike
that would have paralyzed the whole
business of the country. There is not
suggestion of apology in all that
the President said of his action. He
does not seek to justify it, but merely
to explain what even well-posted
politicians appear not to have under
stood. And he does it very ably, as
well as gracefully. His calculation
was clear, strong and logical, without
a flaw in any presentation of the
case. All of the puny critics of the
enactment look sickly after perusing
the Presidents wonderfully lucid

Roosevelt, perceiving the demand for
change, and knowing it must come,
formulated the Progressive party-a
one-man affair that never created
more than mere noise, though it
Pho qua dn eYoIq su!4 quo le 4somIe
Republican party. His signal failure
was a reputation fiat. But this
year he came to life again, and for
time it looked like he was coming into
his own again. Fortunately the Old
Guard stood pat and he was let down
with thud. He made an extraordin-
mary and dangerous fight for a per-
sonal victory, but was lambasted and
whipped to FRAGILE, besides being
thrown overheard for the last time.
At this time he is on the stump for
Hughes. Hughes does not need him,
perhaps, but Teddy feels that moth
ing can stop him, so he is out to cut
as clean a figure as his utter and
amazing lack of sincerity will per-
NIT. He will always be assured of
big audiences wherever he speaks be-
cause he is still the great American
contradiction, and men everywhere
will always give him welcome,
though this does not mean that he
will be given attention. His infu-
ence is now so petered out that he no
longer is any kind of a factor for any
purpose.
