dence, r. l., Miss Sadie Wunsch, a

essay on What L owe to My Coun-
try:
There Is II race which owes more
to America than any other
That Is the jewish people, who have
been for centuries tortured and driven
wherever they have tried to establish
themselves. To them America is
Paradise. Here they breathe the pure
air of freedom, and are allowed that
which Is dearest to the human being,
Liberty.
My earliest experience Of recollec-
ton is of q small hut with matched
roof in a village across the Atlantic,
This hut vas scantily furnished and
contained a living room. kitchen. and
two bedrooms. Surrounding the house
was a small plot of land from which
we earned our livelihood. Groups OF
men gathered about our house and
talked Of the Golden Land" where
one could make money easily and
their children have great educational
opportunities.
Many times I would picture that
land and hope hat I might live there.
1 could not hope to enter school in
my native land. Girls did not need
an education; II they could do farm
work n housework that was suf-
ficient.

When I was seven years old we sail
ed for America. We set out with small
means but high spirits. How distinctly
do l remember that last night board
the ship. Almost all the passengers
were assembled on the deck, with
happy thoughts of arriving at our
destination. People of all nationali-
ties were there, all with earnest gaZe
towards the and that promised food
and shelter.
1 entered a primary school, and my
first teacher was very kind to me be-
cause I could not speak an English
word. The years sped by and i re-
ceived my grammer school diploma.
English high school has been my
choice, and in perfect truth it has been
a second home to me. The four years
that I have spent within these walls
have given me an education and have
helped to make me an American.
This and more has America done for
millions of emigrants. She receives
them all with open arms and offers
them employment, education, citizen
ship, everything. What does h ask
in return? Nothing but loyalty and
devotion. What a small payment for
so great a debt!
You cannot know the gratitude that
I feel. | love every star OIL that field

MURPHY.

A notable figure in New Jersey
politics Is gone in the death Of
Franklin Murphy. While up until the
time of his last illness he continued
to WELD much influence in the Repub-
llcan party, his brand of politics was
of the kind hat was rapidly pass
ing.
Franklin Murphy was an aristocrat.
He represented that brand of Repub-
licanism so well typified by Mark
Hanna when the corporations held full
sway. Today the men of Mr.. Murphy's
type are looked upon as the ultra
conservatives. the Bourbons. the re-
dictionaries. He was of the same
school as Quay. Aldrich and Depue,
who have gone before. and Senator
Lodge, Senator Penrose, Murray
Crane, Elihu Root. who still WELD
great influence in Republican party
councils.
These were the men who disrupted
the Republican party in 1912. when,
in defiance of the will of a vast
majority of the Republicans of the
country who had elected Roosevelt
! delegates to the National convention,
they employed the steam-roller
methods to unseat these Roosevelt
men forcing the nomination of
William II. Taft with disastrous re-
suits.
Mr.. Murphy represented New Jer-
sey on the Republican National Com
Imittee although for years Republicans
in this state nave been OF the more
progressive sort. When the rank and
file Of the party have had an oppor-
tunity to speak there has been no
mistaking the sentiment, yet the So
called "Old Guard made VI of such
men as Franklin Murphy, David
Baird, Uncle Dan" Voorhees,. McCar-
ter and others. either personally or
through trusted l~ieutenants, have con-
trolled the party organization and, In
a sense, those who remain continue to
do so.
Being a man of great ability and
distinction. Franklin Murphy enjoyed
a nationwide reputation and won for
New Jersey a position of much power
and influence in the national councils
of the Republican party. That his

OPPOSE RAISING DEBT limit.

Members of the State Freeholders
Association find themselves almost
alone in their efforts to have passed
by the present legislature a bill rails
ing the debt limit of counties from
2 to 4 per cent. The chances of the
bill being passed seems very slim.
Both Senator Brown and Assembly
man DeVoe have received a letter
from Assemblyman Pierson. who
fathered the present law, setting forth
reasons why he would oppose n
change at this time. In this letter
Mr.. Person says:
"When our Commission fixed the 2
per cent. limit for counties. we felt
that we were granting as large a
borrowing power as was safe for the
county purposes, which, together with
the 7 per cent. limit for municipal
tiles, would give quite the borrowing
power necessary for properly fnanc-
ing the needs of any community. AT
that time, we conslderd that a 2 per
cent. county debt and a z per cent.
municipal debt was the extreme limit
which any community could carry,
