his limit in this last election. Nusentism was
only another one OF the causes of the great Re-
publican landslide President Wilson might In
sist that the election was to be great and
solemn referendum on the League Of Nations
but the people would not have it so. Thousands
Of voters believing thoroughly in the League of
Nations supported the Republican ticket. we
have previously referred to Burlesonism as the
reason why some were opposed to another
Democratic administration. Still others would
not vote for Cox because of the calibrs Of men
who brought about his nomination. Jim Nussnt
was one of these. Associated with Nugent were
Murphy of Tammany Hall. Tagsart OF Indiana
and Brennan of Illinois--all political bosses of
the notorious ring" type. who do not know
what clean politics and decent government
mean.
Yes. there were many causes that contributed
to the great Democratic defeat in the last elec-
tion and Jim Nugent was one of them. Never
in the history of New Jersey has a Republican
presidential candidate received such a sweep
ing majority as was given Warren @. Harding
on November ..
with the Democratic party under Nugent's
leadership thoroughly repudiated; with even
such rock-ribbed Democratic stronsholds as
Hudson, Sussex and Hunterdon counties repre-
sented in the assembly during the next session
of the legislature by Republican delegations
it would seem to be pretty nearly time for the
Democrats to think about cleaning house.
Whatever opinion one may have OF Wood
row Wilson and his national and international
policies. the Democrats must admit that it was
during his domination of the party in New Jer-
sey that 1t became the militant, constructive Or
ganization that enacted some OF the most pro-
gressive legislation this country has ever known
Legislation that made New Jersey one of the
leading states in the Union, many other states
modelling their laws after those passed under
Democratic auspices here.
But that was only after Jim Nugent had been
dethroned and the party had been freed of his
balefui influence. Since Nugents return TO
power the Democratic party has continued to
degenerate, eliminating in the awful disaster Of
Two weeks ago.
Now that the party has practically ceased to
exist as far as any influence in the state legs-
iature is concerned. would it not be an ideal
time for the Democrats to begin over again and
build up on a new foundation with new leaders
In whom the people can have confidence: 1t
would seem TO be the one grand opportunity TO
dump Jim Nugent when he is absolutely with
out power at Trenton, and make the Democratic
party In New Jersey an organisation that can
be respected. and something to which decent
men can belong without feeling It necessary TO
apologize for so doing.
Nugent has been kicked out OF the leglsat-
i've halls at Trenton and repudiated a nation
al figure by the rank and file of the electorate;
let the Democratic party as an organization see
TO it that he does not "come back" to debase
II in the future.

Where Women Excel

Women have made good in work
requiring attention to fine detail, in
inspecting products. in assembling
and finishing furniture, and grind
ing and polishing optical lenses.
They are not. as class, very desir-
able in foundries and rolling mills
where heavy weights are to be lifted
and smoke and heat are intense,
though they have been used satis-
factorily at work requiring weights
to be lifted when pulleys or some
other mechanical apparatus bears
the strain.
From it's observations OF women
in factories and shops, the bureau
concludes that abilities vary not so
much by sex as by the individual.
and that therefore it is difficult to
say exactly where a woman's limi-
| tations in industry are to be fixed.
A few women are interested in
| blscksmithing. A much larger num-
Der want to be automobile mechan-
| les. Few women have the physical
strength to pound on an anvil. and
many lack the necessary qualifica-
| tions to become expert mechanics.
But some women have an inclina-
ton for these trades. which Is not
more unnatural. the bureau believes,
than for a man to be tailor or q
stenographer.
| The Department of Labor has no
| idea of advocating that women
should not fit themselves for the
clothing or millinery trades IL their
bent lies that way. But Miss Mary
Anderson, chief OF the woman's Bu-
reau. says that these industries are
overcrowded, and that the govern
ment should see to it that girls and
women are given the same oppor-
tunities for training in other voca-
tons as men and boys receive, es'
pecially as skilled girl workers are

OBITUARY.
WILLIAM MCDONALD.

WILLIAM l.. MCDONALD.
Relatives and friends in Ellsworth
were shocked Sunday by news of the
death of William L. Mcdonald in
Pittsburgh, Pa. A brief telegram
Saturday evening announcing his SER
ious illness was followed early Sun
day morning by news of his death.
He had been i'll but few days, and
confined to the house only since
Thursday. Not until Friday night
did his condition seem serious, and
Saturday he was taken from his home
at Mather, Pa, to the hospital in
Pittsburgh, and specialists were
called. He died at 730 Sunday
morning. Death resulted from acute
mastoiditis complicated with acute
meningitis.
Mr.. Mcdonald was born in Ellis
worth forty-three years ago. and
spent his boyhood here, graduating
from the Ellsworth high school in
1894. Soon afterward he went TO
the coal fields of western pennsylva-
mia, where his brother Frank was al
ready located. He made rapid ID
vancement in his work, winning the
confidence of the large concerns by
which he was employed, and for
years he has held responsible posi-
tions. At the time of his death he
was manager of the Mather Galleries
Co., which was developing new prop
critics and building new town,
Mather, in western Pennsylvania.
He leaves, besides his mother, Mrs.
Ann A. Mcdonald of Ellsworth, one
brother, Frank, of Pittsburgh.
Mr MpDnno nj uac nna who oh
long employed away from his home
town. retained loyal attachment for
it, and kept in close touch with Ellis
worth and his many friends here
through his annual visits. He will
be greatly missed.
The body arrived here this morn
ing, accompanied by his brother
Frank. The funeral, which will be
private, will be held at the home to-
morrow afternoon at 200 o'clock.
Friends who so desire may call at
the home, 29 Elm street, this after
noon or tomorrow forenoon.

ingly cherished in my heart as long as
life lasts
In His garden Of beautiful flowers,
He wanted rosebud sweet,
50 He took our darling little Mary,
But His bouquet was incomplete.
He then called our precious Frank
Troy
To mate with the rosebud sweet
And that was Just what he wanted
To make His bouquet complete.
And so He plucks one here
And He gathers one there,
The buds and the full blown,
Ard in His garden Of beautiful
flowers
There is no sin known
Nothing but peace end Joy and love,
Given to one and all Of US
From our blessed Father above.
Oh! beautiful lives, gone SO soon:
God in His wisdom knows best
When the harvest is ripe, in bud or
bloom.
He giveth His beloved rest.
