Adopted by the Consistory- • of the Reformed Church of Metuchen:

Whereas, after a lapse of but two years and seven months the great Heyd of the Church has the second' time deemed It wise to call to Himself and to permanent service and reward our Councillor and Minister; be it

Resolved, That we, . the Consistory both as such body, and as individuals, desire to testify of the great shock and grief occasioned by this sudden depart-

flnitenes of mind fail of comprehension, as the plans and actions of an All Wise Providence, and

uk&ble to know why a man so universally admired and loved has been

suddenly taken from us; but still we our sorrow remember that God

doeth all things well and maketh no error, and therefore with trust and faith, would be humbly submissive to the Divine Will.

Resolved, That In the Rev. John W. Conklin we have affectionately recog­nized a man of rare qualifications and equipment, and a very genial friend, and that we are keenly sensible of our great lose, in this abrupt severance of ties of leadership and spiritual over­sight.

Resolved, That we greatly appreciate the work of our late pastor, who al­though somewhat enfeebled by reason of many years of strenuous toll in vine yards both at home and abroad, had( accomplished much for our church dur-1 ing the year ap,d a half he has pre­sided over it; the sick have been min­istered unto; the needy sought out ana aided; the careless affectionately ad­monished, and many have been added to the church of such as shall be saved and we feel confident his work here as elsewhere shall follow him. From his heart and irf" have re­ceived much of comfor land encour­agement. The people of the church and congregation, old, middle-aged and young, rich and poor, have without dissenting voice expressed the high­est esteem and warmest affection for

brother, now a dweller In the realms of the blest.

Resolved, That we do very deeply sympathize with the wife and aons and daughter, thus suddenly and sorely be­reft of husband and father, and most affectionately eomroend them each to our loving Heavenly Father, who af- flicteth not willingly, who giveth and taketh, and fumisheth adequate balm for every wound.

Resolved, That these resolutions be entered on the records of this church, a copy tendered the family of our late pastor, and the same be printed in the Christian Intelligencer and Metuchen Recorder.

In last week’s issue of the Recorder you aroused the curiosity of a large number of people as to £he grounds taken by your anonymous correspon­dent, whose, letter you are withhold­ing, why the Baptists should not build

church in Metuchen.A good many who read your expla­

nation as to why his letter has not been printed two weeks before, were led to believe that some Baptist was opposing the building of & church in Metuchen.Your anonymous correspondent should

remember that as the matter now stands, in withholding his name from you, and therefore hia article from the public, he is causing unjust surmising on the part of many, as to who would oppose euch a worthy object.

The Christian Intelligencer contain­ed the following obituary in its last issue:

In the death of Rev. John W. Conk­lin, which occurred last 8abbath morn­ing at hie home, Metuchen, N. J., our ehurch and the cause of foreign mis­sions at large has lost a singularly de­voted, energetic and able promoter. Mr. Conklin gave his beat energies to the work of preaching the gospel of Christ to lands that sit in darkness and the shadow of death. While his physical health permitted he waa per­sonally engaged for over ten years, in the arduous work of a missionary in our Arcot Mission of India. Driven home by continued illness, after a short rest he took up the work of training others for the mission field, serving as professor of sociology and missions in the Springfield (Mass.) Normal Bible College. Later he devoted six busy and fruitful years to the work of field sec­retary of our board of Foreign Mis­sions, in which capacity Ms traversed the length and bredth of our church, speaking with great acceptance to our congregations and developing the mls-

Last Saturday closed the season for the Inter-Church League of Metuchen. The Baptist and Episcopal team s cross­ed bats and gave uiri Interesting exhibi­tion to a good sized and partisan audi­ence. At first the Baptists got a big lead and looked like sure winners, but in about the seventh inning began falling down and the Episcopals crepi

on runs until the ninth Inning closed a tie of 11 runs each.

In the first half of the tenth inning two Baptists went after a high ball and neither got it, but they fell to­gether. This seemed to demoralise the team and was quickly followed by five

» for the Episcopals. The Baptists then came to bat for their last chance but failed to make a run, and game ended with .a score of 18 to 11 In favor of the Episcopal boys.

The game began late and it was nearly dark when It ended.

Cole and Powers were umpires, their decisions were many times on .fine points, but unquestioned, with only one exception end generally approved by all. The game was highly exciting, especially whah It locked like * victory

After having been closed since Aug. 1, St. Luke's Church was re-opened on Sunday last. The church has been painted outside and' the Interior so completely transformed it Is almost Im­possible to realize it is the same church. The organ, which has always been moat conspicuous has been moved back of the choir stall and nearer the altar. The walls are delicately tinted, the woodv-ork oaked and a hardwood floor are some of the Important im­provements. Rev. J. F. Fenton, the rec­tor, preached a very appropriate ser­mon, He also referred to the changes being made possible by the legacy left the church by Mrs. Nichols, tho St. Luke'o Guild and the untiring efforts of the committee to charge.

Of course Jackson is talking ob- the nomination for countyremar.not persuade the people that h- pery throng's persona} candidate, no m atter how -much he talks. He did not enter the race until the last min­ute when Dory found he could not af­fect a compromise with Conger.

■We do not believe Jackson actually wants to be county clerk. His prefer­ence i& tor a Trenton job? But he has always heft a fxltlifui follower and when Dory needed a man to oppose Conger, Jackson, like the obedient peri ra n t he always has been, got right In, after the Job in a jiffy.

To nominate Jackson for county’clerk !s practically the same as nominating Dory Strong. It means only a cpntin- uation of the fight now on in the Re­publican ranks by giving Strong fresh encouragement.

Strong never had a more willing tool' than Jackson. lirong could even lend him to the other bossb's when they needed him. This was shown in thac pigeon bill matter. Jackson was chair­man of the committee which buried the bill for which the entire State was clamoring. , When asked why he did not report the measure he said he had promised David Baird he would not.

Harper’s eye stole again towards ! Ransolh.

“Checkmate In four moves,” he muttered. “The person we are inter­ested In could have worn no such -clothing as Mr. Goodenough describes. Yet clothing can be changed. How,I cannot see in this instance; but I will risk no mistake. The trail we followed led too surety in the direc­tion of the highway for us to drop all inquiries because of a colored skirt and a hat we cannot quite account for. If the face la one we know (and I realty believe It waa), we can leave the other discrepancies to future ex­planation.” And turning back to the patient countryman, he composedly remarked: “Yo’kare positive in your recollections of tne young lady’s feat­ures. You would have no difficulty In recognising her If you saw her again?” ,

"Not a b it Once I get a plcter in my mind of a man or a woman I see It always. And I can see her as plain as plain the moment I. stop to think. She was pretty, you see, and just a lit­tle scared to speak to a stranger. But that wentjjf^ she saw my face, and she asked me very perlite If she was on the right road to the Ferry.”

“And you told her she was?” “Sartain; and how much tltne she

had to get there to catch the boat” "I see. So you would know her

-again if you eaw her.

The man bowed awkwardly and went out. Mr. Harper brought down his fist heavily on the table, and after

hort interval of silence during which he studiously avoided meeting his companion’s eye, he remarked;

“I am as much taken aback as your­self. For all he had to say about her gay clothing, I expected a different result The girl on the highway waa neither Mrs. Ransom nor her slater. We have made a confounded mistake and Mrs. Ransom—”

“Don’t say i t I’m going back to the room where that woman lies sleep­ing. I cannot yet believe that my heart is not shut up within its walla. I’m going to watch for her eyes to open. Their expression will tell tee what I want to know;—the look one gives before full realization comes and the soul is bare without any thought of subterfuge.”

“Very well. I should probably do the same if I were you. Only your in­sight may be affected by prejudice. You will excuse me if I Join you in this watch. The experiment is of too Important a character for its results to depend upon the correct seeing of one pair of eyes.”

“Georgian!”Would she greet this expression

recognition and a smile? The lawyer half expected her to and stepped near enough to see, but the eyes which had opened upon the white wall in front of her stared on, and when they did turn as they did after one halting, agoniz­ing minute, it was in response to som* movement made by Mr. Ransom and not in reply to his voice.

This .sudden and unexpected over­throw of his secretly cherished hopes was terrible. As he saw her rise on one elbow and meet his gaze with one which revealed the astonishment and resentment of a wflU "creature sud­denly, entrapped, he felt, or so he afterwards declared, as if the viper which had hitherto clung cold and deathlike about hia heart had sudden­ly sprung to life and stung him._ It Was the most uncanny moment of his life. - t .

Aghast at the effect of this upon his own mind, he reeled from the room, followed by the lawyer. As they passed down thp hall they heard her voice raised to a scream in uncon­trollable shame and indignation. This was followed by the snap of her key In the lock.

They had made a great mistake, or so the lawyer decided when they again stood face to face in Mr. Ran­som’s room. That the latter made no Immediate answer was no proof that he did not coincide In the other’s opin­ion. Indeed It was only too evident that he did, for his first words, when he had controlled himself sufficiently to speak, were these:

“I should have taken your advice. In future I will. To me she is hence­forth Anltra, and I shall treat her aa my wife’s sister. Watch If I fail. Ani- tra! Anitra!” He reiterated the word as if be would fix it in his mind ag well as accustom his lips to I t Then be wheeled about and faced Harper, whose eyes he doubtless felt on him. “Yet I am not so thoroughly convinced as to feel absolute ppa<?e here,” he ad­mitted, striking his breast with irre­pressible passion. “My good sense tells me I am a {ool, but my heart whispers that the sweetness In her sleeping face was the sweetness which won me to love Georgian Hazen. That gentle sweetness! Did you note it?”

“Yes, I noted what you mention. But don’t let that influence you too much. The wildest heart has its tender moments, and her dreams may have been pleasant ones.”

Mr. Ransom remembered her un­conscious whisper and felt stunned, silenced. The lawyer gave no evi­dence of observing this, but remarked Quite easily and with evident ainoer-•v

thought, of course, it would be easy to pass a public utilities bill In view of the party pledge. The president of the Public Service corporation assured

nt that time of his support, both orally and In writing. The first bill was.the Robbins bill. It was not very strong, but it was better than nothing. But it fell between the two houses. This year the Pierce bill met the same fate, only in a little different way. The result was that I saw the truth and that it never was Intended that either should pass, but that the lead­ers should play with these bills and the Martin bill, using the one against the other and defeating them all. There' were not over fifteen men In

hole house who could be,, relied upon last winter to support the bills which "the party promised. Not that the meipbers did not wish to do it. but that they were directed not to do it. The exhibition on the floor of the house when the Martin bill was finally passed, notwithstanding the efforts of the Public Service lobby, Amounted almost to a scandal and was a dis­grace to the state.

It - is neither easy nor pleasant to make these statements about youi own party. As a Republican, however I believe in making all contests within the party. Even as bad as all this may seem it is infinitely better than the last Democratic legislature. The right thing to do is to stay In our own party and fight It. out here. The peo­ple win do the right thing when they

enter into the problc ment is cheap nt any cost. What is needed Is to get close to the people and get candidates truly representa­tive of thenv. - Governor Hughes has tated the whole matter in this way:

want legislation that is wise, and int it considered on its merits. We representatives at Albany without

collars about their necks. The days have by of open election corruption.

When we have founded a country based manhood suffrage, what an awful thing s to pollute that fountain at its source,

the ballot box! We must look to the Dominating machine aa much at to the election machinery. . ,

The people do not Intend to let any coterie or ollque take away the right* which belong to the man. A great move­ment Is here. It cannot be stopped, be­cause It is In accord with the tplrit of a free country.

A few make a business of political ao- tlvity—run things. That Is not American. The way to get a representative legisla­ture Is to make the nominations eome di­rectly from the party voters. Political leader* should stand before th# people, resting upon the suffrages of the people.

With this declaration of Governoi Hughes I agree. It bus the right ring . Every legislator must be free to exer­cise his own judgment. He must be

man and owe no allegiance to any other master than the people. The way to secure that is by the direct pri­mary. We can only get that in New Jersey by overthrowing present lobby conditions at the stntehouse, by mak­ing it evident by our votes that we will not have a county committee chairman or any self constituted lead­er rule over us and control the vote of legislators. We want free men at Treritoli. They are needed, and when we get one who knows his duty and resolutely does It we should support him and send him back. I love the party of Abraham Lincoln and want to stay In it, but I do not want to see it boss ridden and unresponsive to the popular will. That every boss is against the direct primary Is plenary evidence that It is right.

Bosstsm is the serious political prob­lem of our time. Roosevelt tried to kill It in the nation and overthrow alt the reactionaries and boasts in tha nomination of Mr. Taft QovtmorHugh** has a great '

A public utili­ties commission would regulate and control all this.

There was much opposition to our state railroad commission when It wt» created. There is none now. Th# railroads find It of advantage, and it Is doing much good in many ways for the public. A public utilities bill would result the same.

I am not a factional Republican, and I object to bossism just ,as much In one man as in another. What we need nro free men in office everyA^Hec^-aa Governor Hughes put it. “men with­out collars." it is In the air that thto is to be. It must be if Republican government is to live.

The most terrible blow that bossism lias lifid is the direct primary county committee bill df lust year. The su­preme court has declared that law to 1)« operative nil over the state and to require that a member of the county committee shall be elected from each district. This is what was intended, and that is, in ray opinion, the right construction of the act. And th* court has also held that the county committee and all tho members there­of must be elected annually and that this statute will modify the bylaw* nf any existing committee which may have fixed a longer term than on# year. —

Some of the men objectionable an bosses In our state are chairmen of the local county committees. It sewn# strange that as soon as a man get* to be chairman of a county committee ho seems to think that he must be re­sponsible for everything political. It

wroug conception of g county committee chairmanship. Neither t te county copmilttee nor its chairman should have any part in selecting nominees for office, except to tasue tho call for that purpo**. The committee must conduct the campaign for tike election, and Its chairman should b# left in a position where, whomever te nominated, his Impartiality will not be questioned. Hie chief function should be to secure party harmaey„ not party strife.

A knowing look,- a twitch at the corners of a good-natured mouth, and the man followed them down the hall, past one or two of the doors alluded to, till they reached the one against the panel of which Mr. Hansom had already laid his ear.

•‘Still asleep," hfs gesture seemed to signify; and with a word of caution he led the way in.

The room was very dark. Mrs. Deo “had been careful to draw down the

shade when ' she put her strange charge to bed, and at this first mo­ment of entrance It was Imposible for them to see more than the outline of a dark head upon a snowy pillow. But gradually, feature by feature of the sleeping woman's countenance be­came visible, and the lawyer, turning hia acute gaze on the man from whose recognition he eipected so much, Im­patiently awaited the nod which was to settle their doubt.

But that nod did not come, not even after Mr. Ransom, astonished at the long pause, turned on the stranger his own haggard and inquiring eyes. ln- steed, Mr. Ooodenough-illted a blank stare to either face beside him, and, shaking hit healD Btumbled awkwardly back in an endeavor to leave the room. Mr. Ransom, taken wholly by aurprise, uttered some peremptory ejaculation, but a glance from the lawyer* quieted him. and not till they were all shut up t lW M n that con- wenlent room a t the head of the stairs did any of thh three apeak.

But her hands were covered. And so, or nearly so, was her face; the latter by her long and curling locks of whose beauty I hare hitherto spok­en. One cheek only*wia <slble, and thle cheek looked dark to Itaneom. decidedly darker than Georgian's; but realizing that the room Itself^ was dark, he forbore to draw the attention of the lawyer to It, or even to allow It to affect his own Judgment to the extent It reasonably called for.

His first scrutiny over, Mr. Harper crossed over to his old seat against the wall. Mr. Ransom remained by the bed. And thus began their watch.

It was a long and solemn one; a tedious waiting. The gloom and quiet of the small room was so profound that both men, for all their suspense and absorption in the event they awaited, welcomed the Bound of p passing whisper or the careful step­ping of feet In the corridor without.

If they turned to look they could Just catch the outline of each other’s counteaance, but, this they did not often attempt. Their attention was held by the silent figure on the bed, and so motionless was this figure In the profound slumber In which It la* enchained, and so motionless wer«T they In their increasing suspense and expectation, that time seemed to. have come to a standstill In this little room. There was one break. The lips which had hitherto remained mute opened In

still fixed on the bed, approached him with the startling announcement;

"What?”"I know what I am taring. Noth­

Should the woman in there prove to be your wife Georgian —” The lawyer stopped and, in a tone the seriousness of which could not fall to impress his agitated hear­er, added quietly, “you remember what I said to you a short time ago about guilt,”

“Guilt!”“No, the word was , shame. But

guilt better expresses my meaning. I repeat, should the woman prove to be, not the lovely but ignorant girl she appears, but Georgian Ransom, your wife, then upon her must fall the onus of Anitra’s disappearance if not pf her possible death. No! you must hear me out; the time has come for plain speaking.

day President Taft said: "The postal

platform bound everybody blmsalf a Republican. If they do not Uk* a plank In a platform or If they do not like the platform Itself they cssse to be Republicans or tbsy are Republicans with an exception." Ac­cepting the president's standard of Re­publicanism, what kind of Republic­ans are tboae who openly oppose ev­ery measure for which the party has declared In Its platform In this state? What sort of Republicanism Is that which Is guilty of political treason to every plank In the platform and which exhibits Itself In opposition upon every occasion when attempts are made to honestly fulfill platform promises? Do not think that the Democratic bosses are any better. They are not. They are worse, If anything. When a ques­tion arises which the boss fraternity think mutually da onerous they fornet political differences nnd unite ns one man. Against conditions of which I am now speaking there Is no relief In sight In the Democratic party. There is only one remedy, nnd that Is within our party, by all loyal Republicans gtrlvtug to rid themselves of these con­ditions. We cau do it If we try, and If we love the state we must try.

Joint Why to tt necseaary should have bosses In the trap «t tivecounties of the state? Why should not the people rule? Is K possible that the rest of us do not know enough to vote Intelligently nnleee we are told and that onr representatives at Tren­ton and Id city affalra must hare a boss to tell them what they can or cannot do? If these men would only boss once In awhile In favor of legis­lation for the people It would help some, but this they seldom do. If those who furnish them their money for election purpose* do not want the legislation proposed It la at once con­demned. These men do not heoltate to say when certain legislation la pending rollsring the people from cor­porate exactions, “If yon pass this bill,' where are we going to get our money from for political purposes?’’

Money In Polities.Money! Money! Oh, the curse of

There is no more Jealous guardian of the rights of person or property than 1. I would not pass laws affecting a corporation simply because It was a corporation. Bnt I would aee to It that they had no right that an Indi­vidual did not have and that the state controlled all their actions and powers absolutely. No honestly managed cor­poration fears proper regulation and supervision. Great corporations, like the Pennsylvania railroad aad the Central Railroad of New Jersey' do not object to reasonable regulation by state* action. I am asaurgd by them that they find It a protection.

I thoroughly believe In a reasonable public utilities bill with authority to regulate on complaint all public serv­ing corporations. These corporations are creatures ot the state. They have "not a Single fight exetpr auch as the state gives them. They make ell their money by state favor. We must nut let the creature be- greater than It* creator. It Is the power of regulation that I advocate. But they will not permit even an extension of the juris­diction of the present mUroad com­mission of the state toJSt public serv­ing corporations. There should be some power somewhere to reach and cure abuses, to prevent issuance of stock or bonds except on approval, to prevent the making of enormous for­tunes out ef public franchise* which eome from the people, every sdvan- taae under which ahonM *ara t_ te .
