The Pulse of the Nation
New Jersey Is Irregular"

New Jersey ran true to form yester-
day. Senator Frelinghuysen was easily
renominated in the republican primary,
defeating George l.. Record by two to
one. Most of the present congressman
weSe also renominated.
Only one democrat, Gov. Edwards,
sought the democratic senatorial nomi-
nation, and there was only one repub-
lican and one democratic candidate for
governor.
Senator Frelinghuysen is a close friend
of the President. He voted for the seat
ing of Newberry, but has manifested
some minor indications Of liberalism. He
is a supporter of prohibition.
With such a candidate as Edwards,
the democrats will probably enter the
campaign under a serious handicap.
Little credit would attach to the state
from substituting him for Frelinghuy
sen.-Chattanooga News.

WHO'S a statesman7

Some men dabb1e in politics and are
known as politicians. That is no COM
pliment. Others engage in constructive
legislation. They are statesmen, and
the term is a credit to them. We need
fewer of the former, of whom there are
enormously too many. There is cry
ing need OF the latter, who are lament
ably few. Any novice can lay one brick
on top Of another, but it requires an
experienced mason to construct n wall
that will stand. We are careful in the
selection of the men who build the houses
in which we live, but Indifferent as to
the calibre of those who enact the laws
under which we are governed. We pay
the political piper whether We dance
or not.--Foley Onlooker.

Archbishop curIey's Opinion.

Archbishop Michcael J .Curley, now of

following to say:
Archbishop Michcael J. Curley of
Baltimore, returning to this country

useless to enter the swamp before
daylight, pretended to go away, TAX
ing Hare with them and leaving Mrs.
Hare and the girl with Mrs. Norton
at the Hare home. Leaving the car
up the road they returned and found
that Norton had been to the house
and taken the woman away. How
ever, he was seen in the moonlight to
come from the swamp once or twice
and dart back.
The officers approached within 15
or 20 feet of him, when he opened
fire on them and the four officers re-
turned the fire. One load from De-

cap on and, from later reports,
wounded him, while the latter's bull

an orphan, both parents having died
years ago and that she has been liv-

About three weeks ago Nelson, who
is said to have been running jitney
in that section, was coming to Fay
etteville to see his wife, who he said
was in hospital there, and the girl
consented to come along with him
to see the country, but instead of
taking her back home he brought
her to Sampson and set up the still
mentioned, keeping her under COM
pulsion and, according to her story,
coming to the Hare house last night
while the officers were pretending to
be gone and compelling her to go to
the swamp with him.
The judge is nonplussed. He asked
her if she would like to go to Samar-

know what she wants to do nor he
what to do with her, but she is in

Within foot of where her head lay

affirmed in a decision handed down
today by K. M. Lands, commission

The decision of the board of arbi-

Stellbauer ultimately was trans

Joplin and Charlotte were fined

REPORT THAT FALL
WILL RESIGN

Washington, Feb. Secretary
partment, will retire from the Hard
ing cabinet. This is acknowledged
by close friends of Mr.. Fall. No
date is set for his resignation.
Rumors that Secretary Fall is
about to retire from the cabinet were
officially denied early today. They
have been in circulation for some
time. Mr.. Fall is unhappy. He has
not put through his Mexican policy
and he told his friends on accepting
Office under Harding that if he did
not succeed in doing so he would not
stay in the cabinet. He has not been
a conspicuous member of the cabinet
and this has been disappointing.
The prospects seem to be that if
Mr.. Fall can arrange to get back into
the senate from New Mexico in his
old place, he will do so. If Senator
New should be beaten by Beveridge
in the Indiana primaries, New is
likely to go into the cabinet, per-
haps to succeed Fall. All this does
not point to immediate retirement
of Mr.. Fall.
What is happening in Mr. Hard
ing's cabniet is what happens in ev-
cry cabinet. Every member starts
out with high hopes The spotlight
will beat upon him fiercely for four
years. Take the case of Mr. Fall
