JERSEY NAVY OFFICER
FIRST PLUMBED ATLANTIC
From the Newark Evening News.

From the Newark Evening News.
In the little Quaker village of
Crosswicks, in Burlington County,
which even today retains some of it's
ancient characteristics, was born, 100
years ago this month, Earl English,
who became a rear admiral in the
United States Navy and achieved a
place in history for being the first
man to sound the vast depths of the
mid d-Atlantic. He also was the father
of the present system of training navy
apprentices.
English went through the rigorous
training which marked the early days
of the Navy, serving as midshipman
on various ships Of war from the
time he was sixteen years old until
he took his final polishing at the
Naval Academy in 1845. He was grad
uated in 1846 and saw service in the
Mexican war. participating in the
capture of Mazatlan and in other i'm
portant engagements on the coast and
in California
In 1853, having developed a taste
for photographic work, he was at
tached to the u. S. S. Dolphin and for
two years was engaged in deep-sea
sounding experiments between this
country and the English coast. While
on this duty, in July, 1855, he was
successful in bringing up the hrst
sounding from the bottom of the sea
at a depth of $500 fathoms, which re-
suited in the laying of the first At
lantic cable in 1858. This cable broke
but in 1865 another took its place,
and the submarine cable has been a
fact ever since.

This Republican administration made

International Cooperation.
The most important problem facine
the nations OF the world today is how
to recover from the last war and re-
move the menace of future wars.
The only hope for world peace and
for economic recovery lies in the or
ganized efforts Of sovereign nations
co-opera ting to remove the causes OF
for violence. Only thus can we out
law war, stop preparations for war
and keep out of war
Under Democratic leadership a
practical plan was devised which
fifty-four nations are now OPERATING
and which has for its Fundamental
purpose the free cooperation of all
nations in the works of peace
subordinated to Party.
The leaders of the Republican
party opposed that plan by gross mis-
repI esentations. They subordinated
the peace of the world and the well
fare of this nation to doubtful party
advantage. They have not carried
out their promise of substitute.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
FREEDOM OF PRESS,

The Democratic party reaffirms it's
adherence and devotion to those car
dinal principles contained in the Con-
stitution and the precepts upon which
our government is founded. that Con-
gress shall make no laws respecting
the establishment of religion, or pro-
hibiting the free exercise thereof, or
abridging the freedom of speech or of
the press. or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble and to petit
tion the government for redress of
grievances; that the church and the
state shall be and remain separate,
and that no religious test shall ever
be required as qualification to any
office of public trust under the United
States. These principles we pledge
ourselves ever to defend and main
tain. We insist at all times upon
obedience to the orderly processes of
the law and deplore and condemn any
effort to arouse religious or racial dis
sension.
Then in conclusion the platform
says:
Affirming our faith in these princi-
pies, we submit our cause to the
people.

T. Her home is her kingdomy Her
new furniture stands for success in
her kingdom. That first scratch, made
by some thOughtless nephew, per-
haps, symbolizes, to her, the day
when her kingdom may crumble. AS
scratch follows scratch, she feels as
if her very crown were being taken
away from her.
And her husband fails to see the
significance of these scratches, just
as later he will fail to understand
the dread with which his wife
watches her hair grazing.
Then what is she to do? Where
is she to turn for help, to keep her
kingdom intact?
To her own heart, her own soul,
say I. Better that the children
should call her house home" than
that the furniture should stand un.

that she should remain youthful

I think, John, that my husband
has just about come to the conclu-
sion I tried to make him come TO
before we went abroad. 1 think he
is contemplating very seriously re-
firing from business. With both
his daughters happily and comfor::-
ably married, he seems to feel that
he has no more need Of pillng up
money for just ourselves.
OF course this retirement has
many good and many bad points
As you know, my husband is a self
made man, and I am not sure that
having nothing that ne must do will
prove very irksome to a man Of his
active temperament. I have noticed
