You know these dresser dashers
that drop in on you any time they
feel like taking on a new COM
plexion or want to sprinkle them
selves with your priceless perfume!
Doesn't It get your goat the way
those danes manage to make
themselves at home with your
paraphernalia?
And what are you going to do
about il. when they rush over and
help themselves, having busted
their map, refined their lips, and
applied your never-run eyelash
paste, before they ask you II you
mind?
Wouldn't do you much good to
start complaining then.
All, but where there's a will
there's a way. and a good stunt Is
to refill your expensive powder
boxes with cheap powder and your
ornamental bottles with cheap
perfume.

Before she got down In the

It begins to look as if Hudson county was about all
there is to the Democratic party in New Jersey. None of
the Democratic leaders, it would appear, dare to mention
. name in connection with any of the offices to be filled at
the election this fall without first getting the consent Of
Mayor Haghe of Jersey City, who seems to be the high chief
potentate in the Democratic ranks just at present. When
anyone does deign to whisper some name, that great bug-a-
boo, the Democratic majority in Hudson county, is waved
threateningly in his face and he at once subsidies.
Apparently, the Democrats of New Jersey are ready to
admit that Hudson county is about al. there is to the Demo-
cracy in this state. In other words, the Democrats of New
Jersey are afraid to go out before the people of the state on
= clean-cut issue and fight out a political campaign on its
merits. They are afraid, according to all appearances, to
nominate a man, no matter how capable and worthy he may
be, without the approval of Hudson county, and that means
the pleasure of Mayor Hague.
Now, in Hudson county principles and ability count for
nothing. If he is a Democrat, belongs to the machine"
and will obey orders and play the game according to Hudson
county methods, any candidate will do. He can depend on
the customary majority in Hudson without which, it seems,
the Democrats are ready TO admit they cannot win in New
Jersey.
This is rather an humiliating position for the Demo-
Gratis to be in. They have not sufficient faith in their princi-
pies or confidence in their candidates to go out before the
people with the expectation of winning the majority of the
' piers Of New Jersey to their side. In other words, the
Democrats seem ready to admit that outside of Hudson
county the State of New Jersey is overwhelmingly Republic
can and that in Hudson county it is not the Democratic prin.
ciples that count, but the fact that the candidate is a Demo-
crat and is backed by the machine
This is a pretty state of affairs for a great political
party. Democrats of New Jersey outside of Hudson county
cannot help but resent being thus sold out to the boss Of
Hudson county. If the Democratic party in New Jersey is
only what the Hudson county machine makes if, it is in
deed in a pretty deplorable condition as far as the state as a
whole is concerned.

'HURRAH FOR THE CIRCUS!

The boys and girls of Perth Amboy and vicinity are 60
ing to have a real treat tomorrow. Thanks to Mayor Wilson,
who always has had a soft spot in his heart for the children,
areal honest TO- goodness circus has been given a permit to
pitch its tents in this city and there is going to be one grand
time.
Yep, elephants, tigers, lions and things; beautiful ladies
on wonderful horses, and clowns and, and-well, every
thing. There is going to be the stupendous street parade
which is one of the glorious parts of the circus. And then,
of course, there is that thrill of getting up before daylight
and sneaking downstairs without any shoes on so as not to
wake the rest of the family, and beating it, out TO the rail
road tracks where the big show is unloading.
Yes, and perhaps some tired out water boy will let you
carry the water TO the elephant on the promise OF a free
ticket and you will feel it to be the proudest moment of your
life, only to find that the water boy had no authority to
promise you a ticket at all and you had to try TO sneak in
under the tent only to be padded good and hard by tie
policeman on guard, whereupon, still smarting, you try
again at another part of the tent with more success.
Gee boys, it's going to be great. And tomorrow is the
day.
Perth Amboy hasn't had a circus for a great many
years. For some reason or other somebody got a prejudice
against a Circus playing here on the ground that it took too
much money out OF town, or something like That, and the
bars were put up, a high license fee was slapped on so that
all the circuses gave Perth Amboy the go-by.
But in the place of the circus we got the travelling car
niyal which, in most cases., is nothing more or less than a
travelling gambling joint, and these carnivals came an
stayed a week. The money the circus with its one ni2at
stand look out of town was not a circumstance TO what The
carnival took away with il. Yes, and that was only one ~
the objectionable features of the carnival, too.
But this year the CIRCUS is coming. Everybody is glai
and Perth Amboy is going to have a big day. There will b,
peanuts and pink lemonade, balloons and pinwheels-and-
the man in the tights will stand ON his head on a trapeze
away up near the roof of the tent and fire off revolvers, and
aI like that. Oh, boy! won't it be great?
Yep tomorrow is the day.
