Bergen Republicans Meet
And Hear Fine Addresses

The July meeting of the Republi-
can County Committee held at the
court house, Hackensack, was unusu-
ally large. There was much enthusi-
asm shown, the members feeling that
the entire Republican ticket, with
Senator Whitney for governor and
Senator Mackay for state senator as
their standard bearers, would appeal
not only to the Republican voter but
the Independents who want to see the
county of Bergen and state of New
Jersey have an efficient and economi-
cal administration, thereby endorsing
the Coolidge policies, and when the
votes are counted on election day, Ber-
gen county would give an overwhelm-
ing majority for the entire ticket
Chairman B. Duncan McClave dur
ing his remarks sounded the keynote
of the campaign.
The features of the meeting were
the speeches by Assemblyman Hurd,
a member of the Bright investigating
committee and Mrs. Edna B. Conklin,
member of the state committee.
Colonel Hurd, in outlining the work
of the committee, cited an instance of
alleged improper conduct in office,
that of the clerk of the Supreme
Court, whom he described as operating
a hotel in Florida, being absent from
the state of New Jersey since Janu-
ary. Even this officials pay checks
were endorsed and deposited by his
friends. He referred to the Depart
ment of Institutions and Agencies
buying gloves for the convicts so that
their hands should not be soiled.
Mrs. Conklin during her remarks
confined herself to the organization
of the state committee and the state
convention, quoting the most impor-
tant phrases Of the keynote speech of
former Governor Stokes, chairman of
the state committee.
The members who journeyed from
the far end of the county were well
repaid for their trouble, as the
speeches were very interesting and
instructive.

THE TENNESSEE TRIAL

The very foolish trial that has been
going on at a little town in Tennes-
see, Dayton, near Chattanooga, has
caused no end of discussion all over
the world. How much good 1t will
do and what ends it will serve will
no doubt be negligible. The fact that a
young teacher of the Dayton schools
dared to possess text book dealing
with Darwinism was the direct cause
of his being hauled before the court,
for the state constitution specifically
states that evolution shall not be
taught. The reason is simple enough
because the legislature that made the
law did not believe in the theory of
evolution, and so they made it illegal
to teach it in Tennessee.
That, of course, was their business,
but it has made them the laughing
stock of the world. Evolution does
not prove (yet) that man is descend
ed from the ape, though there is very
strong theory advanced that it is so.
But theories are not facts, hence
there is another side to the question.
1t is this other side that is raising all
the rumpus at Dayton. OF course
both sides cannot be right.
The outstanding feature of the trial
is the outstanding figure of Judge
Raulston, before whom the young
teacher is being tried. He has i'm
pressed the whole country with his
intelligent, forceful and just rulings.
At no time has he lost his head, all
the time living up to the tenets of the
true meaning of the just judge. His
name is everywhere received with
commanding respect, which honors
him, of course.
Another name connected with the
trial is that of William Jennings
Bryan. The press has not warmed to
him because he has been so disap-
pointing. He has not raised nearly
the muss expected of him. In fact,
he has most decidedly taken back
seat, notwithstanding his promise Of
making the fur fly.
In the meantime the trial has given
the world ample opportunity to think
over this thing of evolution. 1t DEM
onstrates that while the highbrows
most believe in evolution because it
is a popular and a tenable theory, it
is, after all, only theory. Perhaps
the trial of young Mr.. Scopes will so
illuminate the world that definite
knowledge may come of the agitation.

POLITICS IN SCHOOL BOARD

The scene this week in Cliffside at
the meeting of the school board at
least decides one interesting point
that there is no politics on the board
not. That is, that as such, politics
does not exist not. In other words,
politics is something they are above
not. Or whatever one may wish to
call It not. OF course there is no poll
tics not. And never was not.

Monday-Eyerybody came down to

The night was dark and the hour
late, when the lone merry-maker ad-
vanced unsteadiIy toward the concrete
lamp post Gnserly touching the
rough surface he felt around until as
sured of a solid support and then
leaned back, resting. After few
minutes, deciding to again pursue his
alcoholic path, he turned and felt
carefully about the surface of the post.
Round and round he walked, never
taking his hands off the concrete.
Amazement gave way to despair and
at last, sinking down to the. pavement
he gasped:
MY God. Pm walled in"
1t always makes me laugh,
So wonderful a treat,
To see an athlete run a mile
And only move two feet.
The old fashioned girl kissed and
made up; the new fashioned one
makes up and then kisses.
You can't double your face value
by being two faced.
NOW AND THEN YOU SEE A
FELLOW WHO EXPECTS TO BE-
COME A HOWLING SUCCESS BY
NOTHING BUT HOWLING.

The span of life can be extended to
$50 years at the cost of sixpence
head, is the argument of an English
scientist. If the medical world could
spend $10,00O,0O0 annually instead of
100000 as now, he believes, our chill

Another sign of evolution or some

Fine Results In
Fund Campaign
On Cantaloupes

Continued success and unquali-
fled support from nearly every dis
tribrtor, is the report which Fred
Nebel-Thau made today regarding
the campaign for funds to adver-
tise Imperial Valley cantaiCupes
throughout the east.
Growers and distributors continue
TO send in their pledges, Nebel-Thau
stated, and the minimum of IS per
cent Of the total acreage, which
the Imperial Valley Cantaloupc
Growers desired before going ahead
with publicity plans, will bo sur
passed before tonight.
"The idea has taken hold won
dcrfully,' said Ncbel-Thau, and
it will undoubtedly be one of the
biggest things Imperial Valley has
ever tackled. The men who have
taken the initiative in this affair
are determined to put it over in the
best manner possible, and all who
are connected with the campaign
feel certain of its success.
