The transportation problem is a great one and when our rivers can be made to do their part the question of freight rates will be settled, for competition is a greater regulator of rates than legislative enactments. There is no country in the world so blessed with river facilities of transportation, and it we but improve that which is our natural heritage, the market place will be easily accessible without oppressive rates of transportation.

Only Lincoln, hishorue county, followed his advice, all the others voting emphatically repudiating his instructions. Thus the "peerless one" is almost without honor in his own home.

But the resourceful Bryan does not propose to lie down and have his opponents in the party ride over him in a rough shod manner like that. It is reported from Lincoln that he is resorting to the old-time tactics of the practical politicians of the country, and will make a desperate attempt to. capture the Democratic State Convention by means of "rump" conventions in counties that have already repudiated Bryan by direct vote at the primaries.

He told about the heroes that have been. He lauded to the skies our greatest men. To invade the people's rights, he said, leads to the great big fights and questions are oft times not settled then. He told about the Colonists, and of their sore distress, and how they fought and bled and died in getting their redress.

It ought to be one that rests upon merit and not upon politcal power; it ought not to be a 'pork barrel' or piece-meal one. I am in favor of cutting down our lmense army and navy appropriation and take this and appropriate il to the improvement of our rivers and harbors. To me, much more Inspiring would be that sight of busy crafts bearing their load of commerce upon our rivers and our lakes than maneuvering armies or parading men of war. We ought to take care to see that the wharves and landing places for steamers along our rivers and lakes should be as free as the water which bears them on. The National River and Harbor Congress deserves much for the energy and ability with which it is agitating the improvement of our waterways.

They are making the people alive to this great problem, and we Americans do things right when our attention is called to them and we undertake them." It can occasion nothing less than a big surprise to most people to learn that sugar is worse for tha human race than alcohol, but this was what Dr. Roessler, of Hoboken, told the' dentists at the Asbury Park convention this week. He said sugar had been almost prohibitive by its cost in the early part of the nineteenth century tnd previously, but the nse of it up to this time, he says, has caused more degeneration of the energy of the race in a hundred years than alcohol has caused In a thousand ears.

Who will do the farming and produce the wealth, all of which comes' from the land, if everyone deserts the land for the crowded cities? It Js witbin easy memory that the farmer was the most independent of human beings, but the glamour of the large cities has broken upfarm life and the lure of the "easy money" which so seldom materializes in cities, has led many a young man from the country a more desperate chase than the wandering marsh-lights of the Dismal Swamp, and more hopeless than the pursuit of wind-tossed sailors after a mirage. Young men leave the soil which invites them to effort that offers reward, and content themselves with the privation of the crowded city. Each one so doing lessens the producing power of the country, and adds to the cost of liv vestig-aiea. too, and of the patriotic dead; indeed, there were a few.

TcL 11 A Knock for Wilson With all due respect and admiration for the political sagacity of the Democratic leaders who are reported to have settled on President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton, as the Democratic candidate for Governor, we do not believe that his nomination would prove as popular as they believe nor do we think he would, if elected, prove the sort of Governor that New Jersey needs in the present condition of affairs. The name of a man like Wilson is splendid to conjure with, but men of that stamp have never yet proven successful when they attempted to handle a public office.

They may be honest, independent and well meaning, but are never practical and usually regard pure obstinacy as independence. New York was furnished with a fair sample of the work men of Mr. Wilson's calibre perform, in the career of Seth Low, who proved to be the most dismal failure in every respect the metropolis ever had in the Mayor's office. Summit Record Dem.) What would you think of a State that has so much money on hand that no taxes will be assessed next year? This is the condition in which Minnesota finds itself.

Absence of State taxes is an unheard of thing. The condition is supposed to be without precedent in the United States, as it is in Minnesota. On October 1 there will be a surplus of $4,000,000 In the State treasury. It is expected that October 1, 1911, will show a surplus of Sl.700.000 after all the governmental expenses for the year have been paid. The unusual amount of money in the State's cash box is due to the settling of a number of lawsuits, the lumber cases, the gross earnings in tax cases, the Kennedy Inheritance tax affair, and revenue following upon the court decisions.

Prompt ReliaUt Water Plant Pays Now Orange has its own municipal water plant, but through wilful mismanagement some years ago It was operated at a loss to the taxpayers. Nine years ago it fell into the hands of a council committee of honest business men, and a semi-annual report of its operations just made shows that a deficit of over S3 has been reduced to S2.427.61. The Orange people now realize that their water plant is a valuable asset and that municipal ownership honestly guarded and promoted can be as profitable to the taxpayers as is the capitalistic corporation Camden Courier. Cartage, Bpressi? Strrict by forcing upon all the members of a family the necessity to be wage-earners.

The places they fill must necessarily be filled by some one, but the seekers for the places are more numerous than the positions. At this stage it is plain to be seen to what extremes human beings must go to eke out an existence. PEOPLE'S FORUM to his rescue.

A. Donaldson, J.

had capsized and left all of her passengers, four women, three men and two children in the water. The Westfielders lent their aid and all were saved after considerable difficulty. The sailing vessel was uprighted and towed by the launch back to Perth Amboy. Those in the West-field party were G. A.

If you don't want them, vote against them; if you do want them and think that a vote is a ote, whether you drop a slip of pa-paper or pull a lever, vote for them. There are only seven machines now Not Local Prejudice To the Editor of the Courier-News: Of course, the fact that in every city or town in which an election has been held, as to the use of the voting machine, they have been largely voted out, makes no difference to the people of this city. But it does show that the feeling against this device is not prompted by local prejudice. It is to be hoped that there may be a decided vote cast, The feeling against the machine ia so universal, that many may be negligent in casting their votes at all, taking it for granted that the machines will be voted out. The voters in the first districts of the First, Second, Third and Fourth wards are alone concerned and en-titeld to tDte, as these districts alone have machines.

In a last word, I appeal to the voters to so record themselves on tomorrow that the in use in New Jersey and four of these are in Plainfield. Voters have decided against them In other places. The idea of the machine is to make voting easy, quick, secret, and to render returns accurately Women Typists Barred The Civil Service Commission, at Washington, has announced that women stenographers and typl3ts are no longer wanted in the Government The cause for this is explained to. be that women are not so amenable to discipline, or so easily transferred, to' places where their services are needed, or as readily drafted into other kinds of work as men, and orly the latter are to be employe 1 hereafter in practically a.I of the dci-trtments.
