GET BUSY AND QUIT WHINING


We can always DO little more than
we think ourselves capable Of doing.
The man who says he is ''sll In" is
not; for II he were he would be
speechlsss. If you have energy to ad-
vertise your exhaustion you have en-
ergy enough to go little further. Mr..
Man comes home to be soothed and
petted In a domestic asylum of peace;
he Is tired and he wants everybody to
know it. Maybe it Is firing work to
create that home and keep 1t going.
Man and wife might as well agree that
both are workers.
Indeed, the resiliency Of the woman
who has looked well to the ways OF
her household Is surprising. With
change Of raiment and flower she
transforms herself into fresh, cool
vision in the eyes of the lord and
master who comes home wilted and
grouchy.
He thinks he is the sole Garner, the
sole producer. The difference Is that
she works for love and pride and he
works Tor the coin of the realm. If
she received the salary she Is worth
he would have to file a petition In
bankruptcy.
The work Is a good cure for the
overworked. If q nervous man gets
busy enough he is likely to find to
his dismay that he has forgotten
about his nerves. He has bereaved
himself Of darling hobby, a pet
selfish luxury. For 1t has ever been
a chief amusement Of mankind to
count ones symptoms on ones fingers
day by day, as IL they were blessings.
The ancient and honorable game OF
hypochondria is older and more popu-
lar than golf. Az soon az Adam was
provided with a partner she became an
audience for his list Of grievances.
Some people NOPE along for years
as though one good foot in the grave
deserved another, whereas life would
not hurt and grieve them a bit more

1t isn't the variety Of things that are
the matter with you that makes you
interesting. It's what you contribute
to the common fund of courage and
good cheer and ready service.-Phila-

Make the Minutes Worth While.

Weak characters yield the future to
the passing minute. And you can't tell
them about 1t. The best way to make
people dislike you is to be constantly
reminding them Of the use of time
Each man prides himself In being his
own boss. but coming days will give
the lie to that little fiction that we can
use the present in frivolity and reap
glory In the future. The trouble with
most of us Is that we have the wrong
idea of pleasure. We find IL only In lev
ity and nonsense. This is a bore to
the man of brains. Minutes that do
not contribute something worth while
to life are counted lost. He finds JOY
only In what adds to greater fitness
and develops the broadest character.

SILK Hats Not Popular.

Although silk hats have made their

among well-dressed men that SUBJ

Man loves the thing that doesn't
last. he lives on the ephemeral. His
newspaper, with its passing quips and
rapidly fading scenarios, is his daily
Bible reading.

Man does not seek truth, but va
riety; he seeks sensation, not perma-

sistencies. For to be ephemeral is
human; but to be eternal Is to be dead.

TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1910

A MONMOUTH county paper is sur
prised t discover that probably for
the firsi rae since it has been town,
Long E CHI. the largest municipality
IN Moo. nth county, will not have a
single .-rresentative on the grand
jury" The fault lies with the system
by which jurors are drawn. Many
years ago it was. the custom for the
sheriffs to choose men for grand and
petit july duty as he might deem best.
He selected men from the various
townships. giving each fair represen.
tation according to population. Then
somebody thought the:sheriffs had too
much power and gained too much
politically by calling men that suited
them, 30 law was enacted under
which iuries are now drawn. A certain
number OF names must be chosen and
put on list. Then q number OF metal
discs are put in the box and drawn out
and the man whose name corresponds
with the number is the juror to serve.
Long Branch is not the only municip-
atty TO be affected. The thing hap
pens all over. An observation of the
list that is hung up in the office Of the
clerk Of Burlington county shows that
due regard is paid to each township SO
Tar as selection of names is concerned,
but under the law there is nothing that
requires that representation to be OBJ
served. Take the grand jury that is
now serving. OF the thirty-six names
drawn, Burlington city. Medford and
Mansfield each had four. total of 10,
or one-third of the entire body, while
Pemberton township came. next with
three, giving stheses FOUR, townships
nearly one-half Of the jury. Under the
former procedure this never woulo
have happened. And another practice
prevails under the present system. II
allows the names Of thosej who are to
serve as grand jurors to be published
days or weeks before they meet. giving
. chance for interested persons to inter.
view them. In the old days the names
OF the grand jurors we're kept secret
until they were called into court on the
opening day. The same trouble OF get.
ting men for the petit jury from one
nsighborhood exists under the present
system. The present panel OF sixty
six men contains the following mum
Der: Chester, IL; Lumberton, A; Med
ford. z; Burlington city, Z; Riverton, s
Florence, 4; Northampton, 4-total Al
more than majority OF the entire
panel. And Of the lot IL are farmers
drawn to serve at time when theil
duties are most required in their bust
ness. II the old system had been al
lowed TO stand the sheriff would-tak
ing the past as a precedent-hav,
drawn men from business which coulC
easily spare those he desired to be or
jury duty. So far as the system j,
concerned it is properly carried out in
this county. The jury commissioner
select the requisite number of men &C
cording to population of the locality in
which they reside, the discs are put in
the box and then the commissioner,
have nothing further to do but to draw
the numbers as they get hold of them
THE News has always commended tina
this system is wrong and there ha
nothing ever been shown to prove tina
il is otherwise.

There is nothing chivalrous about

low a woman to enter a car before

nothing very generous or kindly in the

There is no virtue In the hurried hand,

DOWNWARD. DECLARES
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Slump Has Not Vet Gathered Momen-
tum. But He Advises Public to
Give Government Chance TO
Show What II Can Do.

Washington are beginning
10 turn downward in various parts Of
the country. but the slump has not yet
gathered momentum sufficient 10 af-
feet purchases for immediate use, ac-
cording 10 reports 10 the department
OF justice.
Attorney General Palmer, asked how
soon results could be expected from
the campaign to reduce the cost Of
living, said all the government wanted
was fair chance TO show what could
be done 10 take the artificial initiation
out of the market. He said officials
were well pleased with the success SO
far attained and that cumulative re-
suits were expected when congress
enacts amendments TO the food-control
law by which criminal penalties can
be imposed on profiteers and hoarders.
I'VE hope the public will begin to
reap the benefit of our efforts before
long" Mr. Palmer said. For instance.
we are making progress in obtaining
promises from shoe manufacturers as

shall not go"
Propaganda which is apparently ma
tion-wide, on the part Of shopkeepers
seeking TO induce purchases now on
the pretext that prices will be mate
rally higher next season, was con-
demned by Mr.. Palmer as one certain
thing which would make prices con-
unue rising II needed. His attention
was called to advertisements in va
rious papers stating straw hats, cloth
ing and other nOn-perishable articles
should be bought before next years
prices become effective.
1T is very unfortunate that some
merchants take that attitude. and we
have been studying the situation" the
attorney general said. Extensive pur-
chases now, reducing the supply and
increasing the demand. would make
their predictions come true, whereas
we hope for normal price level IL
the people do not stampede into a
