COMMISSION FORM OF GOV-ERNMENT. Trenton, N. J., has voted by a large majority for the commission form of government including the initiative, referendum and recall. There would be nothing particularly startling about such an occurrence in any city west of the Mississippi but in New Jersey it is different. Trenton is the first im portant eastern city to adopt these progressive measures. Besides that it is so located that the working of its new system can hardly fail to have an educational effect on Philadelphia and New York City. No doubt other plac es in New Jersey will soon take ad vantage of the same law that has en abled Trenton to move up nearer the head of the procession and this will hasten the application of the initia tive, referendum and recall to state matters. BOXES HELP. Bv direction of the Tost Office Dc partmcnt, the attention -of patrons of this ollrcc is invited to tnc advantages of providing facilities for the receipt of their mail by erecting convcncntly accessible boxes or cutting suitable s.'ois ill their doors. Such action would enable the postmaster to give a prompter and better delivery service with the means at his disposal, since the carriers can cover much more ter ritory in less time if not compelled to , wait for an answer to their ring. Private receptacles for mail are also a great convenience to the householder, obviating the necessity of responding to the carrier's call at inconvenient niocinnls and permitting the safe de livery of mail in the absence of mem bers of the household. They also pre vent the occasional necessity of a car rier's proceeding on his route without delivering mail because of failure to answer his ring within a reasonable time, and enable him to make deliver ies to patrons living on or near the end of the route at an earlier hour. It has been shown by actual experi ence that the benefits derived by pa trons of city delivery from the use of such receptacles far outweigh the small expense involved. As this office is interested in furnishing the best possible service at 'he 'e!lst expense, your compliance with the foregoing suggestions will be much appreciated. Respectfully, J. S. VAN WINKLE, P. M. WHAT IT MEANS. liy Clyde II. Tavenner. Washington, Aug. .1(1. President Taft's veto of the wool bill means there will be no reduction this winter in the price of woolen clothing of any sort for men, women and children, nor in the prices of blankets, nor any oth er forms of woolen manufactures needed for wanulh by the general 'public. And just so nuirli as the public would have saved in cheaper WoolChs, together with the amount the fanners would have saved in cheaper agricul tural implements had the president signed the free list bill, will be trans ferred unjustly to (he coffers of the woolen trust and the harvester trust, two star contrihulnrs to the Republi can campaign fund. What is the President's defense for refusing to permit a reduction in the cost of living? J. el us see: First, he makes the point the wool hill was un considered, when as a matter of fact ' the ways and means committee put in : three months o fsinccre investigation i nnd study before the bill was framed which is twice the length nf time giv en to the consideration of the woolen schedule of the I'ayne-Alihich bill, and which document 111 president (: Second, the president asks that the people continue to pay exorbitant prices for woolens until he hears from ins tarilT board, which is packed with men who lake the high protection viewpoint, and whose chief agents and alleged "impartial" investigators abroad are writing hack articles for j American newspapers ridiculing ami , pcnmiug me crying uviiiami oi me coiiwinm-rs mr i ll in luvision I iiwii- wnffl. Mr. Tail's message against cheaper woolens will go down as a document of misrepresentation, false pretense and excuses. The real reason the president vetoed the various tariff hills was nut stated in any ot luwnicssages: It was because he was under ohliga-1 lions to the beneficiaries of the Pavne- Aldricl. law to serve their interests !

SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS In national affairs this week the president began his defensive cam paign for reelection as president, al ways a weak one. While his servile friends picture him as putting other people in the hole, as a matter of fact the president himself has put himseif in the hole, and he will be a year now trying to pull himself out. This is not mere politics. He has shown himself from the start, both as president and before, to be the servant of the trusts, and C.s is what the people are bat tling against. Are the masses going to continue to servilely swallow the edicts Of the bosses? A threatened strike has been hang ing over the United States this week, with but a small thread holding the situation. It will take but very little for something to drop. This week the Standard Oil com pany disappeared as a trust just nominally disappeared. As a matter of fact, it is the same old trust concern, without competition, run by the same men, perhaps under segregation, but the horns arc there as fierce as ever. It may fool Uncle Sam, but the peo ple see the game. One of the most difficult of things is to convict men of the violation of laws prohibiting the drinking of liq uors, because of the great difficulty in securing evidence. It is easy for the public to take a general survey and criticise, but it is another thing to convict. Men who will openly help violate law, as a rule will just as free ly swear falsely when on the stand, and rarely can be depended upon for the facts. Their minds are often a blank, and though previously experts in the dark as to the character of any kind of a drink, when on the stand they don't know colored water from whiskey, lit itB. is a fight, and men who love law and order do well to keep it up. The trend of modern times'in relig ions matters is to make man the whole thing, giving him power to have him self through humanism, unrooting the very foundation of real Christianity. It may receive temporary followers, but the good old i way will win out as sure as light followed darkness. Dr. H. A Ketchum. of Salem, -was in the city over night.

Has Had Big Crowds and Some Fine Displays. Albany people attending the County fairyesterday weregreatly pleased with the showing. Tne individual exhibits by Henry Struckmier and Leo Zeller, of farm pro ducts of all kinds, cannot be beaten in the U, S. These displays will probably go the state fair, with prospects of nothing there better, if as good. They are simply immense. The display of domestic fruits in glasses is also great, and along other linos the showing is creditable. There were some good races, with some fast horses in the lineuo. and the crowd were given a good show for their money, besides there was a free hehc in the grand stand with five or six men in the inix-'uu. An exciting affair was tho breaking loose of a boar tied by a chain, He at tacked tho soven year old son of Jas. Daws, and bit his leg badly, when cap tured and returned to his stake.
