the

serious inner mind of the persons who otter them. Recently at a dinner of the New Jersey legislative Correspondents < luh In Trenton the O-Howing jesty paragraph appeared in a little paper called ‘•The Evening Meal” which wai distributed to the guests at the dinner and which was full of like paragraph*-, the one quoted being the first thing on the sheet:

WAR

Dennis Township Luburis Declare They Can Respond to Call on Forty Days* Votice. (Extra Special u> Evening Meal.) Cant Mat. N. J., March 22.—Caplai* Jeremiah O'^bnughnrasy, commander of the Dennis Township Cohorts, was amax. ed today when be learned, through a dispatch from Trenton, that the State Military Board would be unable to mobilise a S roriaional regiment to represent New ersey in the parade at the inauguration of President E. C Stokes, at Washington, on March 4, 1908. "It's a base reflection upon the National Guard,” said I be valiant captain. •‘Phy Oi know that ivry man In me noble com tnand kin be prepared fur to move on Washington at forty days' notice.

Sooth Jersey is but stuff an'don't you fergit iv.” There is no doubt but what the people of Cape Msy County, in common with all the rest of the people of New Jersey, would be pleased to hire our excellent Uovernor the successor of Tbeo. Roosevelt as this article suggests.

The Hillery tax act which became a law and which was in line with tbe suggestion of Governor Stokes is already bothering some of our local statesmen, because of tbe fact that they will have to look around for means to find more property to assess. The present tax rate of Cape May City Is 62J0 on tbe 1100, while tbe ililltry act limits the amount to 91.50, which Is exdnsive of ^ibhe amounts to be raised forscboolsand for Interest on bonded debt. This makes tbe limit of $1.50 upon the amount necessary to pay the actual-ex-pense* of tbe City and ita share of the Conntv tax. I .sat year the city valuations were raised 1452,000.00 over the values of the year before. In order to get tbe tax rats to be within the limit of the law for next ] there would baye to be a doubling of the value*, or, practically, tbe eatimattag of Cape May City to be worth nearly 96,000,000.00. There may be many items of expenditure in city affairs which could be eliminated, but what is bothering the city fathers la where to begin that elimination. Tbe MiUcry act provides for a special election if otixens of any municipality desire to raise the limit of rate, and that will, no doubt, be the procedure at Cape May.

There j are more miles of rural telephone lines j la Iowa than there are of railway lines i In the United States.

Three and other Interesting facts have recently been gathered by the census officials. There are 21,577 separate rural line* In t^eratlon. using 1 250.3ud miles of wire and 200.003 luI *truments. There are whole counties j In which one may talk from the county ! seat to practically the entire farming population. Iowa farm telephones ate very cheap, and the “telephone habit" la becoming stronger. Some amusing stories of tbe new use* to which the telephone Is pat In the forming sections of Iowa ore told In the April World's Work by H. R. Mocnat. A few of them follow: Nearly every day some one Invents or discover* a new uae for It One day tbe girl at “central” received this message: '•Hello! Soy, central. I have put tbe receiver of the phone In tbe baby’s cradle, and If she wakes up and cries call me up at No. 7L” It must have been an unusually absentmlnded woman who sent In tbe message: “Oh. central! Ring me up In fifteen minutes so that I won't forget to take the bread out of tbe oven." If some one finds It necessary to take a night train tbe operator at the exchange will receive some such message os this: “Central, ring me up l half ar hour before the 2 J7 train In tbe morning. Bee if It's late before you

call me, pleese."

Go Into the exchange daring a "nub period"—say. et 9 o’clok In tbe morning—and you will see tbe telephone gtrl stand up. push her chair Into a

Professor W. A. Henry, director of tbe Wisconsin experiment station. In his book, “Feeds and Feeding.” says

of potatoes:

The writer conducted experiment* a few years since to ascertain tbe value of potatoes for hogs. Tne j»ototowere carefully weighed and tho-j cwk ed In Iron kettles ar i a weighed amount of corn meal added ao as to. make a thick pudding or mush.

Japanese immigration threatens to become a subject of early cougresalon- { al attention, say* the Washington cor I respondent at the New York Post The I California DgUbituro, strongly ilepubj ikon In both houses, has memorialised congress in favor of an exclusion law like that applied tu the Chinese. The legislature of Nevada la moving In the same direction. Oregon did ao several year* ago and would renew Us petition any time that tht* action promised any resulta. Borne of the leading uewspal«era of the co«m are taking the subject up vigorously, it la doubtful If eastern opposition to Japanese exclu-dou Is auy stronger today than was eastern opposition to CbiueM- exclusion when that policy was first advocated. The public soon becomes accustomed to almost any system of law which la steadily

maintained.

But the question which the Japanese Immigrants present la widely different from that raised by tbe Chinese. Tbe great objection to the latter was their tendency to displace manual laborers of the white race. The Japanese la objected to because he la so constantly aspiring. Californians say that be does not want to work in the ditch or on the ranches any longer than the old time American* of English stock. He la pressing forward at every op|>ortunlty. He becomes a carpenter, or a plumber, or a restaurant keeper, or a merchant There la nothing apparently which the Jap cannot In time learn to do, and bis progress Is so rapid that be does not long content himself to displace the tower class of laborers. He stipulates In accepting a |>o«itlou that be aboil be afforded time for study or to attend evening school*.

tbe war Immigration will proceed much more rapidly. Taxes will be so beery at home unless relieved by a tremen dotu Indemnity—and even then Japan'i military and naval ambitions must be remembered—that the economic opportunity ta the little archipelago win be limited. For many reasons Ybe Japanese would like to come to tbe United States aside from tbe opportunities here for earning good wages. They could quickly get Into touch with tbe western clrillaatlon, of which they are so fond. They are clever artisans, large field opens for people who put brains and aspiration into their every day work.

General Charles YY. Darling of tbe Oneida <N. Y.) Historical society has started a movement for tbe en-<-tion of a monument at Washington In memory of James Mnqroe. says an Atlantic City (N, J.) dispatch to tbe New York Tribune. It is intended to bring tbe matter up at tbe triennial convention of the general society. Bon* of tbe Revolution, to be held in' Washington on April 19 and 20. A simple slab of marble about two feet square lyingflat upon tbe earth In a cemetery la Second street, near First avenue. New York city, has Inscribed upon it tbe name of James Monroe, and that slab covers tbe vault where tbe body of tbe

fifth president of tbe United buried in July. 1831. _

Whether tbe United States could treat the people of a strong Asiatic power os roughly as It baa treated tbe Chinese remains to be seen. China has alwgys been restive under our treatment of her subjects. It Is not so much tbe exclusion from oar shores to which she objects as to tbe bodge of degradation which our laws affix to a person of Chinese hiooJ. But os a nation die n so weak and flabby that she must tolerate anything from a western [tower This may not be the case with the Japanese. no nutter bow much they might welcome friendship with the United
