It's against the rules of conserva-
ton ?"
Yes, and there are others who are
tired. The British Tommy and the
French Poilu are tired of foul years
in muddy trenches. The pitiful army
of civilians behind the lines Is tired
of u servitude. Some Of u own
American boys may be growing just
a trifle tired of being 5000 miles
away from home with no immediate
prospect OF return. No one hears a
murmur from across the water about
the fatigue that hes heavy upon the
whole Allied world. They are Out to
win. They may drop for a moment,
but there Is always the second wind"
which never fails to come.
Here al home are persons who
complain of being tired OF their share
~ tudicfous eating. They long for
peace as a time of bountiful food,
as IL more food in the future were the
only thing for which millions of men
have given their lives.

why complain?
The morale of this army of Gus is
dependent on the strength of those at
home. A whisper of complaint goes
far and grows louder as 1t resounds
across the Atlantic.
Imagine the thought of a soldier
standing knee deep in trench mud
with shells bursting all around him,
when he reads in a letter from Amer
lea, I'VE are feeling the war now.
We get no more than two pounds Of
sugar each month, and I have not
seer wheat bread for weeks"
Feeling the war; Well, perhaps.
But not the way the women of North
ern France are feeling 1t. The strong
chain which pulls for victory must
not be weakened by q single link OF
complaint. The rules for saving are
not unreasonable. Remember
there are those in this world who
are really tired and are too brave
to say SO.

By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Aug. 21.-The Demo-
| cratic executive committee or COM
mittee of ten, yesterday decided to
Invite former Banking and Insurance
Commissioner George M. La Monte.
o Somerset County, to enter the race
for the nomination for United States
Senator, as the organization choice.
This followed the announced refusal
\ of Federal Judge Thomas Haight, of
! Jersey City, to allow the use of his
name. It Is understood that Mr.. La
Monte Is in a receptive attitude and
that petitions will be circulated at
once in his behalf.
! Il is also expected that President
Wilson will soon communicate with
the New Jersey Democrats on the
issues in this campaign and he may
lsay a good word for the former COM
missioner. La Monte Is ranked as a
Wilson Democrat, having supported
the Presidents program when VIII
member Of the Assembly In 1911. He
was first appointed Banking Commits
sioner by Governor Wilson and re-
named by James f. Fielder. He re-
signed last veal
The decision about La Monte was
the interesting feature of the confer
ence yesterday afternoon of the
Democrats. 1t was announced that
later the executive committee may
address the voters of the party.
Co-incident with the meeting of
tn executive committee here yester-
day, Assemblyman Alexander Simp-
son, OF Hudson, minority leader of
the Hast House. filed his petition as a

atom II contained over 5000 sign

There was a discussion of the cor

Martin, who was to attend the meet

because he really didn't love her.
BenJie claimed hat she was just as
much to blame as he wasi He would
gladly take the child, but as the
mother was worth a million, he
wouldn't have to support her and he
wouldn't live with her Neither law
nor convention should make him
marry her. So he rushed of and
learned to fly and met his death.
OF course, we say that BenJie took
a wife in Canada. and I don't think
many persons suspect that we have
locked up a skeleton in the closet OF
Benjie's old room.
1t took my Bob a lot of time to get
that child and I only speak of the
affair now to show how a helped
me to keep my bridegroom out of the
first army. Some day, though. I'm
goink to unravel Benjie's mystery.
In the course of months. Bob was
! drafted. Camp drill was very hard
on him at first. He found that his
arms were too long or too short. I
forget which, to handle his rife in the
snappiest way. But he put his good
brain to work with his body and from
a poor rookie he made himself n
of the best set-up men In hts regi-
ment.
When the time came to go abroad
he was offered the privilege of stay
ing here and training in an officers
camp. He refused It. He said he
wanted his chance at he Boche while
the chances are good.
But the decision left him tense and
tired. For a slow man. Bob does get
extremely irritable at times. l should
have known and kept out of trouble
at that farewell dance for the boys.
Bob and I have never quarreled
much. I wish~we had. Then I would
have had practise in making up
quickly like the older matrons do. and

NEGROES WANT
PLACE ON BOARD
Br speciaI correspondenr.

By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON. Aug. 21:-The members
OF the Republican state committee.
together with the twenty-one county
chairmen. yesterday conferred hero
for the purpose of putting their house
In order for the coming campaign.
Candidates n issues were tabooed.
First there was a meeting of the state
committeeman with the county chair
man and this was followed by a ses-
sion of the former alone.
The feature of the state committees
meeting was the presentation of a Pc
tition from the negro Republican lead
ers OF the state asking representation
on the state COMMITTEES by the selec-
ton of Isaac Nuttee OF Atlantic City.
as a coiored member-at-large. A COM
mfttee consisting of Henry p. Thorn
of Burlington: Arthur Taylor, Warren;
and William Bowman OF Somerset.
was named by Chairman Bugbee to
consider the request and to make 8
report at the next meeting. which
will be next month. The members OF
the state committee were of the opin-
ion that they were without authority
to appoint or select such a representa-
tive of the colored voters Of the
party. 1t was suggested to the COM
mittee which presented the petition
that they form a coiored Republican
auxiliary state committee, with itE own
chairman, who could treat with the
regular Republican committee. The
negro voters In the party have been
demanding more recognition for
some time and In Essex county are
insisting upon q representative on the
ticket for the legislature this fall. -
The state COMMITTEES decided to
make no elaborate plans to obtain the
votes OF the men In service abroad.
The committee feels that II 1t gets
10000 of these ballots out of the 1885,
900 men. II will be doing very well. As
q result. the question Of getting the
ballots to the men and back will be
left to the initiative and energies of
the men in the respectiveNcounfy or
CARNATIONS. 1t was announced that
ten commissioners win be named by
the secretary OF state for each party
TO obtain the ballots of the men In the
cantonments In this county. The Re-
publicans will probably ailot two of
these TO Essex. n each to Hudson.
Mercer. Camden and Atlantic, and d.
vide the rest among the small coun-
ties.
The corrupt practices act was dis
cussed with reference TO the limit for
cided that the state committee should
name a disturbing oficer 10 handle
the funds OF candidates FOR statewide
Offices and urge the county organiza-
tons to do the same thing for county
tickets. They may also act unoficialiy
In h primaries. inasmuch a. the act
applies to the primary as well as the
general election.
Another meeting OF the state COM
mittee will be held next month. State
Committeeman William Bowman of
Somerset raised the question or the
usefulness OF the state committee In
state politics and declared II fs prac-
tically a defunct body. Chairman
Bugbee disagreed. holding hat IL has
a proper place in the party councils.
He suggested that the committee meet
sometime prior TO the State Conven-
tion and formulate its ideas as 10
what the platform should contain,
and IN this way become q more potent
factor.
