. : — ~ ' 1 We believe that a great" deal of the ! \ lark of interest in public matters. ' which certainly exists, and the lack of 1 Information of them, which is also ap- ' 1 parent, ia due to'the'faet that they are ' not brought a* close to the people as 1 they would be, if every'man had to as- ■ sum* a share of 'responsibility for the 1 election of every officer to be entrusted 1 with important public functions. We ' believe, also, that the remedy for 1 ■Mich of Hie 'corruption in 'the . matter < of voting which is declaimed about so ' much, is to be found, \not in removing the ballot of the daddies arAfubptitutlng for it any of the i res , which operate toward tha f f e- ' merit of many careless" voteri^fcut in developing the personal int^st of ' voters by enlarging 'their powers and l\ responsibilities rather than curtail- ( ing them. Where power is centralized ' / responsibility is centralized, and the 'woele grow into the habit of thinking j that they have no reaponaibilities in i connection with public, matters, and j } that it ill devolves upon certain offi- i dale. This makes the task of the ' , demagog comparatively easy and also p develops a frame of mind very favor- j j able to the success of the "man on horseback who may arrive some day ' and fqel that he ia called upo., to grasp ^ all the reina of power 'and to put'the ^ symbols and paraphernalia 'of the Re- ^ public up garret. This sort of thing i hai happened in other nations and haa; ( been made possible by Ithe gradual ■Withdrawal from the people of voice in ( * the government, until they became ( K pewerleea to check usurpation. i • <■="" - i < The principle of equalization of taxes n on trial in Hie discussions, public j and private, which are proceeding all 1 over the State. If tne laws enacted I ! to secure equalization do not a com- i plish their minion, others will have to 1 takejtheir place. Countv Tax Boards are 1 merely performing a duty when they t place before the public such informs- t Hon ajCthey may have as to the details 1 of the system of taxation which pre* ! Valla. This ia the view of the matter ] held by the Oape May County Board. I * The president of the Board in endeav- j ' oring to give detailed explanation in , j regard to various features of the laws , governing the collection and diatribu- I Hon of taxes has exercised 'great care ' 1 to secure accuracy in the statements ( made and the recent letter published , has been highly commended by eminent 1 authorities upon th« subject. He has not advocated either the retention or t repeal of existing laws and is personally indifferent on this' phase of the , matter. It is not a question of "jobs" ; ^ nor of personalities. He has nothing 1 W to retract of opinions expressed in 1906 j i nor at any other time, whether as edi- ] [ tor of this paper or as a member of < | tha tax board, and reiterates his fixed ' belief that all important offices should - - be filled by men elected by the people j and that the extension of the power of appointment by the creation of new " offices to be filled io this manner is an .extension of centralized, power, which , ia likeiy to be, sooner or later, de , tri mental to the interests of the peo- , , pi*. - The laws will have to be admin- , , i stared as they are, however, witholi ] ■ rsfmeuoa to what they might - have , \ ^ — I LAgwer QomHosi ia Lagiaiature.

This measure, is understood to have the approval o* the Governor, and will meet most probably with legislative approval, though it will also meet with opposition from the local option and liquor forces. provisions of- this bill, of the act and of the proposed revocation commissi onset, would promise a better regulation of the^traffic than existing laws appear to do/but it is not likely the 'prohibition element will content to accept any recognition of the traffic " whai»verf* nor will the local optionista take to it -kindly, for their leaders would be out of business if they did.— Camden Courier.

A LEAP YEAR . DANCE 8IVEN BY HE YOBNfi SET Siccessfil Society Event Saturday Evening at the Skating Rink A very interesting leap year dance was gives by the younger set at the aksHng rink o:i Saturday evening. The attendance was large and all enjoyed the occasion very thoroughly. The girls arranged it all and deserve much credit. The patronesses were: Whitney, Mrs. Anna McKean, Mrs.. Joseph Hughes. Mrs. A. W. Mrs. ' Jne. W. Thompson, Mary Edmunds. Mrs. John Mecray and several others. •The ladies present^ were Misses Pbebe McKean, Helen Moore, Bertha Jeanne Hand. Fannie Thompson, Effie Denizot, Ethel Otter, Mabel Richardson, Martha Schellenger, Edith Edmunds, Adele Rowland, Margaret Davis, Carrie Focer, Laura Rebecca Cassedy.

On the Wrong Tack Mayor Longstreth, of the Borough of Mercian tville, up , in Camden cotinty. is wrothy over the fact that "we are met f by an inflexible rsta ute which limits governing bodies to an impossible tax rate"— meaning the present State tax law — and be calls upon the I Mayors throughout the State to help j him knock it into smithereens. We I are afraid that the Mayor1*)! Merchant- 1 j ville is not up to date inx^ll things. | j the present State tax law was j j passed it was openly proclaimed that j I its object was to "limit the power of | ! governing bodies" in the way of pub - j | Uv. expenditures, and the idea was I j very popular with the taxpayers at ! I that (time. And if the people could be j ! heard now we believe that the law | I would be found to be popular yet. j Mayors who have a desire to spread themselves, may oppose a law ' that limits them in ^public expend)- ' tures, but such a law is popular with I the average taxpayer. Mayor Long- ! streth of the borough of Merchant- : ville, is on th»#wrong tack.— Wildwood j Sun. "Every man to his trade" is an old ! adage and is familiar'to nearly all of j us. It is brief in its wording but conveys a great deal fn is meaning. It is | merely a terse way of saying that a man who makes a specialty of any one thing knows more about, and is more proficient in his particular specialty than any one else could be. It is for this reason that we all seek a specialist when we have any serious physical ailment. It is for the same reason that The Rydale Remedy Co., went to one of the best specialists in the U. S. on liver and intestinal troubles, a profes- ! in a Columbus, O., Medical College. ; and secured from him a prescription i from which Rydale's Liver Tablets are j made. This specialist knew more about liVer troubles than a doctor who treats all diseases, and that is why Rydale's Liver Tablets relieve and care more I Juickly all liver troubles than the or- j inary liver pills and powders. 50 tab- j lets in a metal box, 25 cents.

(treat Statesmen of the Decade While the greater task of constructive statemenahip in the affairs of our insular possessions, fell to the lot of Secretary Root at Washington, no. one would be so eager as Mr. Boot to show how large was the part taken by Mr. Taft at Manila in the work both of creation and practical adaptation. When Mr. Root left the W«r Department Mr. Taft was his natural tuccvaeor, and he entered upon tus duties at Washington ,four years ago last month He has bean kept in- — aullj bear during tbaae fornix ears.

and he has performed many tasks of I , firs , rate magnitude with conspicuous jl i success. A war always in every jl 9 country, either brings some new perf socialities into light as men fitted for ' i emergencies, or else shapes 'be careen J r or enlarges Hie personalities of men s already known. Thus the Speniah- ' American War was the great turning - -Mint in the public careers of the three It best known members of the present n administration. I President Rooeeyelt . thought it bis duty, when the cell for e volunteers was imned, to Join the army - and go to the front. There -was mi cale eolation of any sort in this action, yet n it led to his election as Governor of s New York and to his subsequent eltyai! tlon first to the $vice-tfrofciaency end n then to the Presidency. When the e exigencies of the War Department r needed a clear. cOol head and a quie', s strong hand, Mr. McKinley found the Hon. Elihn Root in 1899. Mr. Root reorganised the army with a masterly grasp upon ita affairs, established the present Republic of Cuba, with its i constitutional dependence upon the * United States, organized Porto Rico, and established the main lines under which we have made our success in r the Philippines. It was under Mr. Root's department in the following w year that Mr. Taft was sent to Manila. —From "The Progress of the World," in the American Review of Reviews for March. * e The Farmer's Wife e lb very careful about her churn.

^ ! SURPRISED Enoch J.

A lacy liver may be only a tired . liver, or a starved liver. A stick is at right for the back of a lazy man. But it would be a savage as well as a atupifi thing to beat a weary man or a starving man because he lagged in hia work. So in treating the lagging liver i 'l 'B W^roat mistake tn lasn it with drastic -drugs. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred a torpid or sluggish liver is but a symptom of an ill-nourished body, whose organs are weary with over-work. Let your liver alone. Start with the stomach and its allied organa of digestion and nutrition. Put them in proper working order, and sec how quickly your liver will become active and energetic. Dr. Pierce's Golden M> dical Discovery has made many marvelous enrea of "liver trouble" by ita wonderful control of the organs of disgestion and nutrition. It restoies the normal activity of the stomach, increases the secretions of the bloodmaking glands, cleanses the system from poisonous accumulations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by the defection of other organs.
