NEW JERSEY VOTERS TO
SUPPORT GOVERNOR Ed
WARDS.
(By A. N. P.)

(By A. N. P)
NEWARK, N. D.. oct. 19.-The Ne
gro vote. in this State appears toS be
climbing into the Governor Edwards
oand wagon. Not on any wet or dry
issue. but on a square deal" issue
Senator Frelinghuysen lodged the
oyer Bill" The story is that he saw
II corning and he 'duclxed the blow. .
Hence, It is declared by those who af-
feet to know, the Colored vote Is about
to hand him a bird that bites rather
than a dove with an olive branch in
It's beak. Thusly are we being given
another sign that the Colored mans
memory of "befo' de wah times is
growing weak and that he is showing
decided inclination to throw the
Lincoln idol" into the sea of his full
lest forgetfulness.
The first sign of the revolt came in
the Ninth Congressional District last
summer where the Colored voters
sprang a young Colored attorney, will
nam -. Brandon. as their choice for
the congressional nomination Unfor-
tunately, they now are claiming a
supposedly strong white man threw
his hat into the rings in an effort to
wrest from r. Wyne Parker, the pres
ent incumbent. the honor of repre-
senting the district in the lower ma
tional house of representatives. They
were led to believe that this white as
pirant had considerable strength
among the white republicans in the
District and, by deserving Brandon.
they could the more easily dethrone
Parker.
This proved to be a trap. In the
primaries Parker polled quite the full
white Republican vote and was nomi-
mated. Brandon polled 1900 votes and,
Of course. fell far behind in the race
Nothing doing this time. To make
sure that their resentment shall have

pose to cast as near a solid Colored
vote for Edwards as 1t is possible 20

gramme of these Negro rebels. I'VE

an off year. We are as yet a little
skeptical about national Democrats
But Governor Edwards is a Cleveland
Democrat. We have reached the point
where 1t is absolutely imperative that
we give due recognition to the differ

Southern Democrat. Anyhow, we
have got to get somewhere. Stand

CARDS the Iynching as an attack
against every ne Of its members. A
lynchfng in Georgia tends to disturb
labor conditions not only in the adj
joining states, but in the entire South,
and is not without its effect in en-
differing race relations in the North.
1t cannot be regarded as merely
against the peace and dignity. of the
State within whose limits 1t is COM

beyond those limits. 1t is a crime
against the Nation in a very real
sense and therefore should be triable
by FEDERAL Courts.

will Immediately stop lynching; but
it will be one step in that direction

MAKING TRAGEDY OF
PLEASURE

Do we take our pleasures too sad
ly? No. Not sadly enough. If we
realized how sad most of them are
we might try to substitute something
better. The true tragedy of our
pleasures, as indulged in by Ameri-
cans. is scarcely suspected Most of
US do not know that 1t isn't work that
tires US out, but it is being enter
tanned.
We are constantly moving about at
white heat. We have no time to sit
down quietly and talk or think. We
try to concentrate on work as much
as possible in order that we may pay
for the sort of pleasure which makes
us enjoyment is lost art.
busy in buying pleasure that among
US enrolment is lost art.
We are subject to the following
illusions:
Illusion /. That sitting still is only
a bodily accomplishment. We do
not under stand that when we sit
still, say at a movie or a play, our
minds are on the move, or are being
moved along at a mad pace. We are
actually not sitting still at all.
Illusion 2. That genuine pleasure
comes from the outside and not the
inside. There is no real pleasure like
work, but we have invented so many
devices to cutai1 work in order that
we may have more time for pleasure,
that the actual result is we have no
time for either.
Illusion 8. That tranquility is doing
nothing. On the contrary, genuine
tranquility is only another name for
constant internal development. 1t is
only through internal development
that the greatest deeds are accom-
plished.
These three illusions make us, in
spite of our enormous material re-
sources the unhappiest people in the
world. And we always resent this ac-
cusation because it is too true. The
Chinaman secretly laughs at us. The
Europeans, as impoverished and dis
rupted as they are, look upon us with
silent contempt. Until the tragedy
of our external pleasures weighs us
down so with fatigue that we shall
experience a revulsion of soul and rid
ourselves OF them. we will continue
to be restless and unhappy.

BATTLE OVER WATER.
UP To STATE DECISION

c. C. Lewis, secretary of the state
engineer of the state water depart
ment, will leave Phoenix, June Is, for
Mount Trumbull. in Mohave county,
to make Investigations and hold a
hearing of the homesteaders making
application in that vicinity for water
rights to two springs in the Dixie
National forest. Several cattIemen
in the district are protesting the
granting of the water rights.
The application for rights to the
waters of the two springs known as
the Cold spring and the Big spring,
were filed several months ago by
Roy Bundy and NJ. p. Iverson. on
behalf of Is settlers in the district.
Shortly after the application was
filed. a number of cowmen filed a
protest claiming that they had prior
rights to the waters of the springs
and objected to the granting by the
water department of rights to the
use of the water on the ground that
they were using all of the waters of
the two springs for their livestock.
The settlers filed an answer TO the
protest stating that they wanted the
water for domestic purposes and that
their only source of supply for such
water was from the two springs in
question. They claimed in their
answer that the water was being
wasted by the cattlemen and that
the tanks and troughs put in by the
cattlemen were always full and over
flowing causing large holes in the
vicinity of the troughs in which the
cattle wallowed.
The hearing of the case will be
held at the Mount Trumbull post
office, about 60 miles north of the
Colorado river, and the findings will
be presented to w. S. Norviel. state
water commissioner. for determina-

the charge that his wife failed the
formality of securing divorce from
her first husband, was filed in supe-
rior court yesterday by James v.
Storts against Beryl Storts. The
