ADVANTAGE OF NUGENT'S CANDIDACY

About the only persons who take the 'Jim" Nugent can
didacy for the gubernatorial nomination seriously are Nugeht
himself some of his enthusiastic admirers in the Joel Parker
Associations. of Newark, and former State Senator Emerson
Richards, of Atlantic county, who, as a Republican, has de-
clared that Newton A. X. Bugbee, a Republican asplrant for
onbernatorial bonors. is the only candidate in that party wet
enough to successfully oppose Nugent.
While Nugent harps on bis prohibition issue just as II
the whole gubernatorial election hinged on that one matter
congress goes right on planning for enforcement leglslauoh
which is about. to be enacted defining the punishment OF those
found guilty of violating the dry laws of the country once
This law is in force federal officers will proceed to carry out
its provisions and there will be no way out regardless OF what
the governor or candidate for governor in any state thinks
about it.
There is Just one big advantage to Nugents' candidacy.
1t gives the rank and file of the Democratic party an opportun-
iy to let hin know what they think of him. Nugent has been
tbe biggest handicap the Democratic party has had to carry for
many years. One of the first achievements OF President VIII
son when he was governor of New Jersey was TO dethrone Nu-
gent as the party boss and not until Mr.. Wilson left the state
to reside in the White House did Nugent dare assert hlmsen
again.
Through his customary political methods he managed to
worm himself back into an influential position again, but we
have always believed that the majority of the Democratic vot-
ers were ashamed of their leader. To the credit of the Mid
dlesex democracy be it said, they have not recognized the
Nugent leadership since his dethronement by President VII
son and during the last session OF the leglsla-
ture when Nugent seemed to have the Democratic side o the
house in his vest pocket, the MlddleseX Delegation Was ohe thd
he could not control
But whether the Democrats liked it or not, Nugent has
maintained his hold on the party as far as state affairs are con-
cerned and there seemed to be no way to unseat him. OF course,
It'll hardly to be expected that even if overwhelmingly defeat
ed at the primaries this fall q man of Nugents callbre would
step gracefully down and out after having received the Verulct
Of his party, but whether he steps out voluntarily or not, once
the will of the party has been shown there ought to be enough
gumption in the Democrats to see to it that Nugent is retired
for all time.
His continued ae4i&+t1rus az the head Of the party in this
slate casts an odum over the whole organization. RespectaDie
men hesitate to have anything to do with 1T. Because the Nu-
gent candidacy, therefore, gives the rank and file OF the DEM
ocratic party an opportunity to place Nugent where ne belongs
an opportunity the party has been looking for for a long tme'
ii ought to be welcomed, under no circumstances should Nu-
gent to be allowed to withdraw until the verdict has been rem
dered.

Got There Just the Same.

American troops in France receiv-
ed a more careful and prolonged
training than could possibly be CIV
en- most of the regiments hurriedly
raised during the civil war. Gener-
al Pershing tells the story of vol
unteer battalion of rough backwoods-
men that once Joined General Grant.
He admired their fine physique, but
distrusted the capacity of their un-
couth commander to handle troops
promptly and efficiently in the field,
so he said:
"Colonel, I want to see your men
at work; call them to attention, and
order them to march with shoulder
ed arms in close column to the left
flank"
Without a moments hesitation the
colonel yelled to his fellow ruffians:
Boys, look wild thar! Make ready
to thicken and go left endwards! Tote
yer guns! Git"
The maneuver proved a brilliant
success and the self-elected colonel
was forthwith officially commission
ed.

The Evil Genius.

"There goes the meanest cuss in
Gown, according to my way of think
5ng," said the landlord of the Petu-
MIA tavern, indicating harmless by
passer. "That's Henry Purt, who
knows how to make more different
kinds of heathenish noises than any
of his torraented fellow citizens ever
heard before, and with malice afore-
thought, as it were, deliberately
teaches 'em to the kids. He showed
'em how to screech like 1ivver
and keep people continually on the
jump for their lives. The young idea
learned from him the Commanche
warhoop and the rebel yell. He was
the introducer into the neighborhood
of the whirling rattle, which sounds
like raking sticks along the forty
picket fences at once, and the devils
fiddle, which means and walls and
howls like a hyena being flayed alive.
And here of late he has been in

four how to be quartettes of Alpine
yodelers. There are fully fifteen
such quartettes in town now, and

The British Crown Jewels.

Crown jewels have been brought
out of their war time hiding place
and returned to the Tower of Lon
don, says a London cable. They were
not paraded back. In fact, the re-
moval was so informal and quiet that
no one, perhaps, who saw a couple
of automobiles containing two army
officers in silk hats and frock coats
and derbies suspected that they were
carrying s30,O00,0O0 worth of jew
elry.
A peep into one of the cars would
have revealed a cardboard hat box,
but the pepper wouldn't have known
that it concealed the imperial state
crown. Nor would he have guessed
that the piece of rough, heavy red
cloth he was seeing covered the royal
sceptre with it's famous Cullinan dia-
mond. In Insignificant looking box
es and parcels were the other crowns
coronets and the rest of the royal in
sigma.
Windsor castle, about. twenty-five
miles from London, became the re-
pository for the jewels soon after
German aircraft began to bomb the
metropolis. They were placed in a
thick walled stone vault.

How The Germans Pay Bills.

BY new order issued at general
headquarters, says Nancy dispatch,
the troops within the occupied zone
hereafter are to be paid in francs in
stead of marks. Under the present
arrangement money in marks is
brought to Coblenz from Berlin by
Germans and turned over to the chief
disbursing officer.
The payroll of the third army am
cunts to approximately 26,OOO,OOO
francs per month.
Money to the amount Of 15,OOO,-
600 marks arrived at Coblenz Satur-
day, the January assessment against
the Germans. A total of 100000
marks has been received from Berlin
toward paying the expenses of the
occupying forces. The exchange rate
now is 147 marks for 100 francs.
