For more thar 200 years West
minister has been in possession of a
tobacco box of kind which may
probably not be found elsewhere in
the world.
The box was bought at the Horn
Fair at Charlton in 1713 by Henry
Monck, one of the overseers and pre-
sented to his fellow overseers for use
at their social gatherings. 1t cost
fourpence and had a capacity of 3
ounces. The horn box was fitted
with a silver rim and a silver base.
Each successive custodian ornament
ed it with silver plates and inscrip-
tions and it now forms a chronicle of
national and local events for more
than two centuries.
In 1916 Hogarth had contributed to
one Of the lide a bust of the Duke of
Cumberland receiving a wreath from

StaIlings, a former captain of mar ines who lost a leg in the World War, and Maxwell Anderson, both members of the New York World staff, were co-authors of the play.
 The "Peterkin' report says, in part:
 The play has a cast of 26 peo- pie, all of whom are males with the exception of one woman, Charmaine De La Cognac. One scene shows three marines in full uniform. The opening words are This is some hell of war to which they all agree. All through the show profanity was very much in evidepce.
 "Charmaine enters in the first scene where the captain in full uni form makes love to her in the pres cnce of his subordinates and upon his leaving the scene his top-ser- 'geant makes love to her"
 "Peterkin" refers to the captain becoming "gloriously .intoxicated' on leave, of his being arrested for car rying swagger stick, by :" some of Pershings men-Sunday school hoyS'" ."

Gov. Smiths Conversion.

Gov. Smiths means Of publicly an
nouncing his willingness to run again
in New York is in keeping with the
role he has adopted Of being drafted
for duty instead Of seeking office.
Questioned about the prospect Of the
Syracuse convention, when he reached
that city yesterday for a conference.
he said to reporters: 1T looks as If
the whole ticket will be renominated."
Perhaps the governor will make
some sort OF explanation OF why he
changed his mind. after having SO
strongly indicated his unwillingness to
sacrifice more of his time in public Of
flee at the expense OF his personal
fortune. He so declared himself after
the close Of the Madison Square Gar
den convention, and made it plain that
his purpose was to retire to private
life in order to re-enter business and
make money. For two months he has
been the object Of incesant importuni-
ties and pleadings. Party leaders have
begged, implored, cajoled, and, it is
intimated, even buIldozed him in an
effort to secure his consent to another
nomination. The other day they glee-
fully announced that he had con-
sented.
Will the argument that finally eff
fected this conversion ever be made
known? The governors position was
perfectly logical in the beginning. He
had spent so much time in politics
that he had impoverished himself.
having nothing but his salary, and
not large one at that. Devotion to
his office left him no time for private
business. His duty was to himself
rather than to his party. which he
had already served faithfully. But
somebody, somehow, changed this
point Of view. Was the large and
loyal vote cast for him at Madison
Square Garden for SO many ballots
for President used in persuasion, as a
promising indication Of what may
happen in 1928? Or was the senator
ship which will be fought for in 1926
a factor Of inducement?
1T looks as If the whole ticket will
be renominated." A simple sentence,
but with a background Of most in
teresting significance.

New Jersey Primaries.

Results Of yesterdays primaries in
New Jersey serve to indicate that this
State remains 'as wet as the Atlantic
Ocean," as former Gov. Edwards once
sa;s he would have it be. Senator
Walter E. Edge was renominated in
one Of the most bitter contests the
State has ever witnessed. Early-morn-
ing dispatches gave his lead over
Hamilton r. kean, his contestant, as
more than $4,000. Senator Edge was
recognized as an avowed wet"
A brief line in the Associated Press
report is further illuminative. It says
that the only Democratic Representa-
tive in Congress to fail Of renomina-
ton was John Eagan Of the eleventh
district, who was defeated by Oscar

A contributing cause to Senator
Edges victory appears to have been
that he was in possession of the party
machinery, while' his contestant was

had complained that Senator Edge
had used his power of patronage to
his own advantage, the latter retort-
ing that it was only to maintain an
efficient party organization and to in
culcate a healthy party spirit.

pretended opposition Of TIE women,s
