Political Notes.

1t is expected that County Clerl
Knight will take his new Office a
once, as there is vacancy in the Com
mission to which he was appointed
Mr.. Knight will be given the unexpirec
term and will then take his permanen
place The term of office is six years
the salary being $500 per year.
1t is expected that deputy clerk
Lawrence Mingin will be appointed
County Clerk until the mex
election. This is the proper course to
De pursued for Lawrence has the duties
OF the office DOM fine.
Senator Edwards, of Hudson county,
mas an idea that the Office of Public
utility Commissioner should be made
elective, and with that in view he Will
introduce bill to that effect. The
Senator will be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
and OF course he is compelled to make
some grandstiad plays. The recent
permission given trolley, gas and other
companies to raise tariffs caused howl
among some people and Edwards has
suddenly come to the conclusion that
he must protect the people. Much
stress is being laid upon the recent dis
cussion over the presidency of the Sem
ate and the Democrats profess to have
hopes that they can induce five Re.
publican Senators to vote for the bill
and that one Republican will Join the
Democrats in the House. This is hard
ly likely to happen. The Democrats
OF the Assembly have given notice
that there is not any use for Republi-
cans to get any partisan measures
through this session so it seems like a
lot OF presumption for them to think
they can persuade members of the
latter party to help them make capital
for oneof their candidates for Governor
The appointment of County Clerk
Knight has spoiled many spicy news
paper items prepared and salted down
to be used in the ensuing campaign
for the clerkship. The political prog
nostlcator had his weathervane SO ar
ranged that it could swing around at
moments notice. In his paper of jan
uary ~, the young lady across the way
had this to say: 'Only few weeks
ago knight was said to be candidate
for berth on the Public Utility Board
until the Governor informed him that
he would not appoint him." In his
oldest Republican paper in the coun-
ty last week appears: mo surprise
was occasioned among those in touch |
with the trend of affairs at Trenton |
when Go yernor Edge sent to
the Senate the appointment of County /
Clerk Harry l.. knight, of Medford. to
be member of the Public Utility
Commission. All recent DEVELOPMENTS
at the State House had forecast this
outcome of Knights strenuous quest
OF State appointment On the 29th |
OF January the statement was that the !
joyernor had refused to make the
appointment and in less than two
weeks later it was given out that no
surprise was occasioned at the action,
which was "a foregone conclusion. y
How nice it is to be able to adjust one
self to any and all situations.

Governor Edge, on Tuesday, sent to
the Senate the name of County Clerk
Harry l.. Knight to make him a mem.
Der of the Board Of Public Utility Com
missioners. This appointment is a
proper recognition of the services Mr..
knight has rendered the Republican
party in the campaigns in which
Governor Edge was very much in
terested. The appointment is very
pleasing to friends of the new official
and he has host of them in this
county. OF course there is one man
who cannot see any good in the move,'
but his barking has become such a
habit that it has long ceased to be of
any account.
Mr.. Knights ability to fill the
Office of Commissioner is beyond ques-
ton and is attested by the manner in
which he has brought the County
Clerks office to a basis of efficiency
THAT it never before held.

Your government asks you very ear
nestly not to sell your Liberty Bonds
unless you have to. To part with your
Liberty Bonds means giving up your
pledge of patriotism and citizenship,
and handing your responsibilities and
privileges over to some one else. Lib
erty Bonds will be worth much more
money presently and it is good bust
ness to hold them.
If you must sell, get the full market
price. Go to a responsible banker
and let him give you information and
advice. Do not sell to just anyone,
who may not treat you fairly.

connection with the tunnel from Dover
to Calais, will practically complete an
all-rail connection between Cape Town
and London, will more than realize the
dream of Cecil Rhodes of Cape-to-
