r McCARTER AND SMITH.

An exchange calls attention to tlie fact that Thomas N. McCarter

represented New Jersey on the platform committee at the Chicago convention, and James Smith, Jr., represented this state on the plat- form committee at Denver. It asks, what is the difference?

There is really no difference. Both are leaders in the same big corporations whieh practically control this state. Both have inter- ests alike, andjjoth are working for practically the same thing. It is only anothei instance showing that back of both parties is the same "system" which sees to it that it is always on top no matter wljicl; party is in power. In this state the McCarters attend to it on the republican side and "Jim" Smith attends to it on the democratic side.

There is this one difference, however, between McCarter and Smith at their respective conventions. The latter was chosen a delegate by the state convention which had the whole state to choose from. McCarter, however, was chosen in a district convention when he is not a resident of the district except in the manner in which all men who own summer homes at the seashore or in the mountains are residents of the places where such homes are located. But it seems that the interests with which McCarter, for the republicans, and Smith, for the democrats, are connected, have the power to do prac- tically anything they please.

We are getting more and more toward government by the peo- ple, however. We have the direct primary this year and it will be possible for the people to nominate men for office who will not be the tool of the corporations, if they so desire. The question is, will they care enough about it to get out and support the men who are really their friends Î

STATEN ISLAND'S DISGRACE. Grade crossings should be abolished everywhere, but nowhere is

it more desirable than on Staten Island where hundreds of well paved highways wind about in all directions. The island now con-

stitutes a borough of the second city in the world and yet grade crossings of a steam railroad are permitted to exist without serious

_ ^protest. In England there aro no grade crossings, not even in the country districts. They have some regard for human lives there. Here it seems to be cheaper to kill people than to change a grade.

It is nothing to the credit of the Public Service Commission of the greater city that these grade crossings on Staten Island are al- lowed to exist. It is high time the death traps were abolished alto- gether, but in a fast growing and much traveled borough of a great city they are a disgrace.

CORPORATION PROMISES. If the Jersey Central Traction Company is going to have cars

running on the county bridge over the Raritan river by August it will have to hustlev^There are no signs of activity yet. It looks as if

^iEffSr/SfttoS company was ready to tell the people anything to keep them quiet until they are ready to go ahead. The wonder is, how long will the people continue to believe all that is told theAi by these cor- porations? Also, how long will they continue to elect men to office who will let the corporations do as they please ?

DEMOCRATS FALL IN LINE. The manner in which the New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and

other eastern delegates have fallen in line for Biyan indicates that as long as Bryan is to be nominated anyway, give it to him unanimously, give him the platform he desires, give him everything, and then turn in at home and give him the worst licking he ever received. It's the best, wey out Of a disagreeable position.

Mi We never could understand Madison township, but the queerest of all transactions over there is the petition of the people to have the tax on the Susquehanna coal storage grounds reduced when the coun- ty tax board is fighting to keep it up. The township has assessed the plant at $30,000 and the county board raised the amount to $209,000. Should the latter figure hold the individual taxes in Madison would be greatly reduced. Strange, isn't it?

With the republican steam roller and the democratic pile driver in action this fall the presidential campaign ought to be hot enough, anyway.

The loss from yesterday's flre at Fords may be fixed at f5,000 Gross.

If they have a few more fires at Fords they'll be demanding a fire department.

Naturally, the firemen did not con- sider It fare to compel them to pay

The owner, who had ex-1 pected to see it fly overboard, walk- ed over and secured his hat from the man who had caught it, at the same time saying "Good catch."

Woman's World WOMEN ARCHITECTS.

New Sphere Opened to Them In De- signing Flats and Apartments.

"Some day," said the old fashioned housekeeper, "women will discover that a great sphere of usefulness Is open to them In designing flats and apartments. The average married woman spends (nost of her time arranging and keep- ing straight her house and doing her housework. Why, then, shouldn^-she design things with far more conven- ience and comfort than a man conld think of? If α man had to lift hie Ice and groceries off the dumb waiter, do you suppose he would plan to put the dumb waiter out In the hall Instead of In the kitchen? Yet I have seen the waltor at least twenty feet from the Icebox and In the private hall of an apartment for which a first class rent was asked.

"Any mother who wants her baby tc take a long nap would appreciate a flal where the bedrooms are not arranged In the noisiest place In the house. The Idea of arranging bedroom, parlor and dining room with wide openings, mak- ing them practically one room, ma; look pretty enough, but It Is absurd. Suppose a caller comes before the fam- ily finishes dinner or while the house- wife Is In the kitchen In her old clothes. How Is she going to get her things out of the bedroom? And as for closets, no flat designed by man ever had enough."

A PRETTY COLLAR BAG.

Art linen in a pale shade of green Is used In working out this design, with the embroidery in black mercerized cotton. The bag Is In four pieces, that for the actual bag, the strip for the embroidery, which must be cut the way of the selvage, and two rounds for the bottom of the bag. The embroidered band Is first sewn to the

If liked a piece of card- board can be Inserted between the rounds, and it certainly makes the bag firmer. The top Is finished with a hem and drawstrings of black and colored cord.

Today's Suggestion by Ellen Stan. 8HIRT WAIST8 AN IMPORTANT FEATURE.

PERHAPS the most Important oi all a girl'» dresses are her shirt wnlet

suits. The plainer the school drees the smarter the; are, but they need something to give them a bit of originality, such as a new style collar and cravat. The design of the shirt waist shown Is sure to please any

young girl, as It Is so simple she can easily make It herself. Heavy materials of the linen and pique order can be used for Its construction, or for the warm weather fine linens, lawns or sheer colored materials make tip attractively.

For more dressy occasions one or two simple gowns should be Included In every girl's wardrobe. Care should be taken to see that these are not too

elaborate, ae the more simple de- signs are more at- tractive on girl·. It le a great mistake for young girls to think themselves well dressed In elaborately t r 1 tu- rned gowns, for they should be simple In design and light in color.

There are any number of good ma- terials to use for this purpose, and they vary In price so that they meet the needs of every pocket book. Ba- tiste, albatross and challls come In pret- ty delicate shades, or If one Cares to pay a Uttle more for the material silk voile, silk mull or messaline makes up attractively. Very little is needed for trimming these dresses, as they should depend on tucks and shtrrtngs Instead.

For an everyday coot for school wear cheviot, kersey or covert cloth Is rec- ommended. This should be made aft- er one of the long, loose models. An- other Important Item In a girl's wardrobe is a coat salt. Such mate- rials as serge, chev- iot and fancy suit- ings are suitable for its construction. If κ dark color Is chosen, a pretty Idea Is to bave the collar and'cuffs of
