REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
For President,
WILLIAM H. TAFT,
Of Ohio.
For Vice-President,
JAMES S. SHERMAN,
Of New York
This is one of the latest Taft cam
paign songs:
William H. Taft is a friend of mine,
friend of mine, friend of mine,
What care we if the s.un don’t shine,
So long as we have our Billy.
Everybody is feeling so tine, feeling so
tine, feeling so tine,
For President Teddy is a friend of Big
Billy,
And Billy’s a friend of mine.
This question was asked of Morris
Rhode Hepworth, of London, perhaps
the largest cloth and clothing manu
facturer in the world, having many
factories in Leeds and other parts of
England and some two hundred retail
stores: “Which candidate for the
American Presidency, in your opinion,
is most popular in England?” The
answer was: “Bryan, by all means.”
Bryan stands for a reduction of the
tariff to a point where protection to
American labor and industry will be
eliminated. English exporters are
naturally interested in alow American
tariff and a candidate running on a
platform advocating reduction is
bound to be popular with them.
It is pleasing to know that the State
of New Jersey proposes to observe the
Bishops’ law. Governor Fort has es
tablished a rule at Sea Girt Gamp
which it is to be hoped will prove per
manent. It Is the closing of the can
teen on Sunday. Last Sunday this
was done at the Governor’s request
while the Third Regiment was in
camp and that condition will last
throughout this summer’s series. Mil
itary men said Camp Fort last Sunday
was one of the quietest and best-be
haved they had ever^seen on that day,
when discipline is apt to be relaxed
and the sacred character of the day to
be little regarded.
We have received from the writer
a copy of an address delivered before
the Newark Credit Men’s Association
by Theodore S. Fettiuger, advertising
manager of Hahne&Co.,on May 12th.
As Mr. Fettinger is a past master in
the art of successful ad. writing it goes
without saying that the address is full
of helpful hints for advertisers. The
secret of advertising is well stated by
him as follows;—
a Advertising is one of the simplest,
yet one of the most complex factors in
the promotion 6t business. It is, in
essence, giving publicity to the object
you wish to promote or the thing or
services you have for sale.
Ax exchange says that one thing is
demonstratedf'fey 4he.Jnvestigations
of the State qjqise commissioners and
that. Is that the sentiment of the aver
age liquor dealer in regard to the en
forcement of the law is such as to
make him undesirable for a public of
ficial, particularly in cases where his
personal intesests are concerned. The
result will be that no man identified
with the business can be elected to
office. Already some prominent offi
cials in the State are marked for re
tirement. -
Much interest was crowded into
three hours, General Luke E. Wright
Secretary of War, spent at Sea Girt
Tuesday. A public reception was
held in his honor, at which he met
many distinguished myr, former Gov
ernors, United Stages Senators, Rep
resentatives in Congress and men
prom.,Q®nt in the State, and then he
reviewed the Fifth Regiment of Pat
son, Battery A, of East Orange and
Battery E, Third Artillery.
The only Republican in the Burke
family is to run for Congress. Deputy
International Revenue Collector Geo.
II. Burke, of Paterson, will be a can
didate for the Republican Congres
sional nomination in the Sixth Dis
trict, comprising the counties of Pas
saic, Bergen and Sussex this fall, and
has already entered the campaign.
This statement is authoritative, for
it comes from Mr. Burke’s owu lips.
Mb. Bbyax has frequently been la
menting how soulless corporations
have been driving a hard bargain with
the farmers, but when asked to explain
why wheat had gone up fifteen cents a
bushel since 1906 and freight had come
down from 16.1 to 11.30 cents per bush
el in that time between Chicago and
New York he was not ready to answer.
It Is reported that Governor Fort
has given*John Rotherham, chairman
of the Hudson County Republican
Committee, to understand that he is
opposed to the knifing of candidates
after the primaries. Mr. Colby may
find something in the Governor’s de
sire to interest him._..

The Facts In Regard to theValley Road
Editor of The Chronicle.
Dear Sir:—While I expect and do
not object to fair criticism of my work
as a road repairer, yet the statements
made in regard to the Valley road in a
communication recently published by
you are so unjust to myself as well as
to the Freeholder In charge that I ask
space to set myself right in the mat
ter. Jl our correspondent says regard
ing the work:—•• Ever since they com
menced putting on crushed stone in 1
the spring the road has been in a very
rough unsatisfactory condition all sum
mer and not having put any binder or
roller on to keep the stone in place,
ttiey have been knocked about all the
season until the greater part in many
places are shoved to one side of the
road by the automobiles and wagons.
This not only makes a very unsatis
factory job, but is also a waste of pub
he funds and I certainly think the
freeholders would not approve such
methods if they knew the circum
stances.” The facts are these: I be
gan putting stone on the road in June
finishing up the work on July 8th. On
the 13th 1 started to put on the binder
whu-h took six days, and the following
day started the roller which was used
for two days more. At present the
screenings are being spread upon the
road after which it will be re-rolled.
These days and dates are specified in
the bill to be presented to the board
on Wednesday, which is certified to
by the committee in charge. This
plain statement of facts shows how
very unreasonable and uujust are the
charges made in the former communi
cation. So far as spreading the stone
Is concerned that was no more than
could be expected from the traffic over
them for the few days while being
spread, but they certainly have not
been knocked about all summer by any
manner of means.

.I'HBl WORST EVER.
Some of the Morris County Demo
crats who flee to the woods when asked
to take the Democratic nomination
against Convrfissn^n ^owler, are urg
ing Eugene Buike, a Morristown un
dertaker, to lead that forlorn hope. Mr.
Burke has not had any political ex
perience and that fact may help his
friends to get him’' on the ticket.—
Jersey City‘‘Journal.’!
This about a mail with an interna
tional reputation aii' a coal dealer, and
past master In political shrewdness,
is surely the limit. Burke may well
ask “ what is fame?’V
Everybody In Morristown will re
gret to hear that the health of Pro
fessor William L. R. Haven, for thirty
nine years the superintendent of edu
cation in Morristown, has compelled
his resignation. He came here When
the present school system was inaugu
rated, Introduced new methods, or
ganized departments and started lit off
so well that for more than a quarter
of a century it has met the require
ments of the town and given general
satisfaction. To his good judgment
of human nature is due the fact that
with the many teachers employed in
the school under his administration
there has been a uniform standard of
efficiency and no scandal - has clouded
the school’s history. In addition to ills
excellent work as as educator, Mr.
Haven has also been an excellent citi
zen in every other respect, making his
influence felt in many directions. The
board of education will have the ap
proval of everyone in making such pro
vision for Mr. Haven’s future as is
commensurate with the greab services
he has rendered the town.
We paid $15,000,000'less in whiskey

WASHINGTON LETTER
[Special Correspondence.!
Those who have visited Washington
will be interested to know that con
gress recently appropriated money to
tear down the columns of sandstone
which decorate the front of the treas
ury building on Pennsylvania avenue
and replace them with granite mono
liths.
An Architectural Wonder.
The treasury building was long the
, architectural wonder of this country,
even when It was unfinished. It was
an attempt to adapt the classic style
to a purely commercial building and
was accepted as a great achievement
and received some applause from
abroad, even though It was only rela
tively superior. It is not likely that
any amount of money can make It ap
pear In the minds of this generation
what it was fifty years ago, but It is a
wise plan to restore It as completely
as possible and to Improve on the orig
inal plan.
The Most Beautiful Street.
This work Is being prosecuted aldng
the lines of the great plan to make
Pennsylvania avenue the finest street
In the world. It Is now fine In spots
and Is marred by a postofflce building
which will have to be reconstructed to
meet any acceptable plan of symmet
rical beauty, but the Idea Is a good one,
for which the American people willing
ly make appropriations. Before long
the low structures on the street will
disappear and there will be an ave
nue of unsurpassing loveliness—a word
which the architects Insist upon using,
because they have laid out a plan
which Involves almost every element
of beauty.
The average American has little Idea
of the recent growth of the capital
city. He cannot understand the trans
formation that is going on from a
mere perusal of newspaper accounts.
He must see It to understand that one
of the most beautiful cities In the
world Is evolving along lines which
are la part more than a century old
|md for the rest very recent. It Is
costing money, but It Is money well
expended.
Memorial to Lincoln.
That provision will be made by the
next session of congress for a suitable
memorial to Abraham Lincoln to be
placed on the plaza between the capi
tol and the Union station seems to be
almost assured. It Is understood that
the bill Introduced near tl\e close of
last session by Chairman McCall-of
the house library committee, asking
for an appropriation for the purpose,
probably would have passed had there
been sufficient time. It will be Intro
duced In the early days of next ses
sion, it is said, and, according to re
ports, it will be passed.
The bill provides for the purchase of
all the land from the Union station to
the capital bounded by New Jersey
avenue on the west, Massachusetts
avenue on the north, the capital
grounds on the south and First street
northeast on the east, with the ex
ception of the one block nearest the
station, which Is bounded on the east
by Second street northeast For the
purpose of obtaining the land the bill
provides $3,250,000, while It calls for
$1,000,000 to be used In the erection of
the memorial.
White House Upkeep.
It Is the official view of Colonel C. S.
Bromwell, the army engineer In charge
of the White House, that It will be
necessary for the American people to
spend $1,000 a week during the next
fiscal year to keen the home °f the
president in a habkable condition.
The upkeep of the house during the
current fiscal year Is only $073 and a
few pennies over each week. But
things are getting shabby. Colonel
Bromwell thinks the chairs should be
sent to the upholsterers, new paper put
on the walls and the whole Interior
done over with fresh paint and enamel.
The paper on the wall of course Is
not paper at all, but the finest brocad
ed silk. The upholstering on the
sevres designed chairs Is also of the
finest So the colonel figures It will
cost $15,000 to do the absolutely nec
essary work. In submitting his esti
mate to the secretary of the treasury
he remarked that the annual appropria
tion of $35,00018 barely large enough
to keep the house from going to rack
and ruin. The $15,000 asked for Is
put under the head of "extraordinary
repairs.”
Robert E. Lee Ststue.
Virginians In Washington express
great satisfaction over the prospect of
a statue at Robert EL Lee being placed
in statuary hall, In the capitol, and
In the determination of the Virginia
legislative commission1 to replace the
cheap plaster figure of Washington
now In the capitol With a bronze
statue.
The bronze statue of Lee has just
been cast in Providence, R. I., and was
modeled by Edward V. Valentine,
whose recumbent statue of Lee over
the general’s tomb at Washington and
Lee university Is regarded as one of
the finest works of American art
The statue of Lee will' occupy the
second of Virginia’s places in statuary
hall, one of which Is already occupied
by a plaster figure of Sfeocge Wash
ington.
Washington in arenas.
The commission appointed by the
Virginia legislature visited Providence,
where the work was- being done, re
cently, and on its way back stopped
in New York to ask tor bids for the
bronze statue of Washington. Judge
George L. Christian of Kiehmond, a
member of the commission, said that
it was not known by the commission
on whose authority the present statue
of Washington was put in the hall..
The new statue will be a reproduc
tion of the one by Houdon now in the
rotunda of the capitol of Virginia.
CABL SCHOFIELD.
The efficiency of the fire department
at Netcong is to be increased Here
tofore it has consisted of one company
of sixty members. It is now proposed
to form three branches, a hose com
pany of thirty members, a hoon-and

and a board of fire wardens of twenty
four members._

TARIFF REDUCTION.
Democratic Idea of Trust Reg
ulation.
WOULD STRANGLE INDUSTRY
Removal of Protective Duties, 8ure to
Bring Disaster to Farmer and Labor
er—Foreign Trusts Would Wax Fat
at Our Expense.
Democratic adherence to the doc
trine of free trade and the incapacity
of Democratic leaders to deal wisely
or Intelligently with economic and
business questions of vital consequence
to the nation are again demonstrated
conclusively In the tariff plank adopt
ed by the Democratic national con
vention at Denver July 9, 1908, says
the American Economist.
Wo favor Immediate revision of the tar
iff by the reduction of Import duties.—
Democratic Platform, 1908.
Democratic revision has always
meant reduction. There has never
been a time when the hand of the
Democratic party was not raised
against tariff duties Imposed for pro
tective -purposes; never a time when,
having the power, that party failed to
lower tariff dntles with the distinct In
tention of eliminating protection In
whole or In part; never a time when
Democratic revision of the tariff did
not bring with It business depression,
Industrial paralysis. Idleness, Want and
misery. Democratic history once more
repeats Itself on the tariff question.
Articles entering Into trust controlled
products Bhould be placed on the free
list—Democratic Platform, 1908,
Trusts exist In all producing coun
tries, In free trade Great Britain as
well as In protected Germany, France,
etc. The Democratic party is appar
ently blind to the fact that more than
60 per cent of the Industrial output of
the United States Is from establish
ments outside of trusts. Their products
are not trust controlled. Yet they
would be made to suffer the same free
trade penalty as that applied to trusts.
Innocent and guilty would suffer alike,
except that the Innocent would suffer
most, and the guilty, by reason of
united capital and more compact or
ganization, would suffer least. Great
est sufferer of all would be American
labor. Free trade in trust controlled
products means practically free trade
in all Industrial products. Therefore
It must mean the destruction of the
American wage rate and the lowering
of the American standard of living
down to the foreign basis. What that
would mean to American business
and trade In all lines every intelligent
being, even though a Democrat, must
know. The Democratic proposition
of free trade In articles competing
with trust controlled products would
transfer American production from
one set of trusts to another set of
trusts, from trusts In our own country
to trusts abroad. The only American
trust that would profit by free trade
Is the Importing trust, made up of Im
porters, foreign steamship representa
tives and merchants Who get a larger
profit on the sale-bof Imported goods
than on domestic goods of like char
acter. Foreign trusts would be In
clover, with a consuming market of
86,000,000 people as a dumping ground
for surplus production. Instead of
$800,000,000 a year of competitive Im
ports we should have 81,600.000,000 or
more. Five million American wage
earners would either lose their Jobs or
else be forced to have their wages cut
In two In the middle, The Democratic
idea of trust regulation through free
trade Is to hand over American busi
ness to foreign trusts. It is a charac
teristic Bourbon idea.
Material reductions should be made In
the tariff upon the necessaries of life.—
Democratic Platform, 1908.
What are the necessaries «f life?
Principally food, clothing and rent
Fully seven-tenths of all necessaries
are primarily the products of Amer
ican farms. Practically all foodstuffs
and the great bulk of materials enter
ing Into wearing apparel—cotton and
wool, for example*—come from the
farm. Therefore thw American farm
er, both directly and Indirectly, must
be the chief sufferer from material
tariff reductions upon the necessaries
of life—directly In the' Importation of
cheaper farm product* from other
countries; Indirectly, but none the Jess
surely, from the diminished purchasing
power and reduced standard of living
of American wage earners. Nine out
of every ten persons who ifark for
wages are engaged In producing some
thing or other of the articles classed
as necessaries of life. It must follow
that a material reduction mt the tariff
on Imports of competing necessaries
would carry with it a material reduc
tion of the Income and spending ca
pacity of several millions' of people.
So the American farmer would catch
It both ways, going and coming. The
American farmer has learned much
in the past eleven years, of what a
protective tariff does for him.
Muok Rakers..
Just as present we have been pass
ing through a siege of attacks 'upon
our social and political systems by gen
tlemen whom President Roosevelt has
properly denominated “the men with
the muck rake.” Either In order that
they may sell their articles or In order
that for political purposes they may
Btlr a spirit of unrest they exaggerate
the abuses thought to exist In political
and business life and give a distorted
and therefore a false view of actual
conditions. They attribute corrupt
motives without proof, and by dwell
ing on Instances, of evil they destroy,
or they seek to destroy, the sense of
proportion ot their hearers and read
ers In a general condemnation of so
ciety at large. There never was a time
In the history of the world when there
was more virtue, more charity, more
sense of brotherly affection than there
Is today. Conld anything be more in
spiring than the bounteous outgiving
of money, provisions and labor for the
benefit of our fellow men which was
evoked by the disaster In California T—

derstand that I’m not so green as you

earth did you learn?”

sively, “but if you don’t believe It you
just come around to the bam after you
get back from your fishing trip to
night and I’ll surprise you.”
Geqrge was still skeptical, but on his
return, about sunset, he strolled out to
the barn. The cows were all In their
places. His attention was attracted by
the shimmer of a white dress at the
far end of the line. And there, seated
on a stool beside a very restive bo
vine, undismayed by the constant
switching of the animal’s tail or an
occasional foot In the pall, sat Alice,
proudly milking her cow—with a lemon
squeezer.—Ltpplncotfs Magazine.
