GEORGE A. HALSEY DEAD.

He Was Useful and Highly Esteemed
Citizen and Lifelong Republican.
On Sunday evening, April /, Hon.
George A. Halsey of Newark, died from
pneumonia after short illness of less
than three days. On the Monday after
noon previous he attended meeting of
the Washington Association trustees,
held in this city, to act upon the pur-
chase of the new lot bought by them,
and was in his usual health.
The deceased was the son of Samuel
and Mary Hutchings Halsey, and on each
side came of an old Jersey family. He
was born at Springfield, Dec. 7, 1927, and
in 1910 removed to Newark with his
father. who then engaged in the leather
business with David B. Crockett, who
was soon succeeded by Geo. Taylor. In
1916 Mr.. Taylor withdrew and George A.
Halsey, then only 10 years old, entered
the firm, which became well known as
that of Samuel Halsey & Sons-a name
still continued, though the father had
been dead several years.
Mr. Halsey was an earnest Republican,
and was many times elected to office.
He was member of the Assembly in
1861 and again in 1862 In 1861 he was
appointed United States Assessor for
New Jersey, and organized the State into
districts. He instituted an effective sys-

THE TIDE is TURNING.

The elections held throughout the
country show conclusiyely that the
majority of the people who cast their
ballots believe in the principles of the
Republican party. They prefer to trust
its past record in preference to the I'M
redeemed pledges and promises of the
Democrats.
Pennsylvania led off with majority OF
nearly two hundred thousand Ohio and
other states followed with varying ma
jorities which were, without exception,
substantial Republican gains.
On Tuesday last the Rhode Island Re
publicans reelected Governor Brown by
a majority of nearly 1000. The Leg
islature is Republican by large ma
iority. which insures the election of a
United States Senator. Last year the
Democrats elected forty-one members of
the House and fourteen in the Senate.
This year they barely secured a repre-
sentation, by three Senators and three
Assemblymen.
In Michigan, which has not been solidly
Republican for some time past, reports
show that in nearly every town and city
the Democrats were beaten out of sight.
Governor Waite's own city in Colorado
was carried by the Republicans. The
Populists and Democrats in that State
only carried six towns in which elections
were held, as against thirty last year.
Tremendous gains were also made in
Wisconsin. Reports from Kansas,
Missouri, Arkansas, and even Texas
show heavy Republican gains.

REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITIES.

The Summit Herald has several mat
tiers on its mind. In the first place, it
says, land justly, too, that there is no need
for the appointment of lay judge for
Union county to succeed the late Judge
Wiley, claiming that sit is simply a
sinecure, and that the office should be
abolished" It admonishes its residents
to keep awake" and that if sleeping

position to let matters wag as they may,

stimulate them to a sense of their duty,
and of the expectations formed of them. %

gambling holes which exist there.
With such foe to evil doors of every
description residing in its midst as the
interchangeable Anthony Comstock, why
not turn the matter over to him, and we

plea for uniform assessment, claiming
that those of former years have not been

vice by saying: eff the past of Summit

opportunity the Republicans-elect have
to restore order and bring their superior
executive and other official attainments
prominently before their friends and the
public. Will they do it"

GOOD ROADS NECESSARY

Correspondent Suggests That the City's
Streets May Soon be Inferior to the
County Roads.
Editor Chronicle:
The writer cannot refrain from
writing few lines in appreciation of the
communication to your last weeks edi-
ton by ST. S. 81 The important sub
ject of the improvement of the county
roads is therein dealt with in mastery
and comprehensive manner, which com
mends the letter to all who have public
or private interests at heart.
Few of us can carefully study the con-
tents OF the communication without
gaining instruction and pleasure, and
you are to be complimented for admit
ting to your columns, at the start, such
worthy attempts toward the dissemina-
ton of knowledge vital to a communi-
ty somewhat apathetic on the subject.
Morristown and Morris county should
be alive to the rapid development of road
Legislation, and study to lead in this
movement, as they are acknowledged to
lead In other matters which emanate
from communities of wealth and culture
1t is fact to be deplored that our city,
SO dependent upon good roads, seems I'M
able to grasp the immediate necessity of
providing means to build and maintain
them properly. Attempts are made to
patch up" but not to make roads, and
while only small appropriation seems
to be required for this course, it is evil
dent that in the long run it is mistaken
economy, as compared with a thorough
system
This, as we may learn from such con-
trlbutions as the one referred to, is
rapidly becoming understood by our
country neighbors, whose roads lead up
to the city line.
At that line, practical legislation stops,
and sooner, if not so already, it will be
the common opinion that our streets
are not to be compared to our county
roads.
A matter of interest in this connection
is that of wide tires. Few, 1 think, are
aware of the benefits to be derived from
their use. These benefits, as / hear, are
in the form of a remission of d portion of
the taxes to property owners where they
are used, to say nothing of the preserva-
ton of our roads, and the resulting
economy. EGERToN BROWN.
Morristown, April 2.
The following is the law referred to by
Mr.. Edgerton Brown in his communica-
ton.
CHAPTER CCIII.
AN ACT to enable township committees to
encourage the use of broad tires on wagons
and carts by rebatement of taxes
l. BE IT ENACTED by the Senate and Gen
eral Assembly of the State of New Jersey, That
township committees be and they are hereby
authorized when in their Judgment it is for
the public good, to pass an ordinance allowing
a rebate of taxes for township or road purposes
to all owners or possessors of wagons and carts
used in said township for transportation of
goods, wares. merchandise, produce, passen-
gers and for general farm, freight and express
purposes, having tires of not less than four
inches in width; provided, the said rebate |
shall nof exceed fifty cents for each wheel in
use in any one year.
2. AND BE 1T ENACTED, That this act
shall take effect Immediately.

CALDWELL'S DECISION.
A Great Victory For Organized Labor an
the Union Pacific Employees.

A Great Victory For Organized Labor and
the Union Pacific Employees.
OMAHA, April 6-Organized labor won
its greatest victory when in the United
States circuit court Judge Henry Cald-
well handed down his decision in the
Union Pacific wage schedule contest In
the legal opinion this declaration of the
court stands out most prominently:
corporation is organized capital; it is cap
ital consisting of money and property. Organ
lied labor is organized capital; it &;apital con-
sisting of brains and muscle. WHAT it is law
full for one to do it is lawful for the other to do
It is lawful for the stockholders Esd officers of
q corporation to associate and confer together
for the purpose of reducing the wages of its
employees or of the diyising of some other
means of making their investments profitable.
1t is equally lawful for organized labor to as
sociate. consult and confer with view to
maintain or increase wages. Both act from
the prompting Of enlightened selfshness. and
the action of both is lawful when no illegal or
criminal means are used or threatened.

TEN for the collection of internal revenue.
He was very successful in this and was
offered the position of Register of the
Treasury, which he declined. In 1867 he
was elected to Congress and again in
1871.
In 1874 he ran for Governor but was
defeated in the Democratic tidal wave
of that year. His name was frequently
mentioned for United States Senator, and
he had the support for that office of the
Republicans of this part of the State.
In his business he was remarkably sue
cessful, his firm sending goods to all parts
of the world. He was director in many
of the financial institutions of Newark,
chairman of the Executive Committee of
the Historical Society, member of the
Newark Library Association, and for
many years, and until removed by
Governor Albeit, one of the commits
sioners of the Morris Plains Asylum, and
vice. president of the New Jersey Agri-
cultural Society.
In 1878, when the Washington Head
quarters was advertised for sale, he at
tended with view of securing it for a
private residence. Governor Theodore
F. Randolph, VIM. Wv. Ledgerwood and
Gen. N. Norris Halsted also were present
and bidding, but with view to procure
the building as historic place. APP
preached by them, he cordially entered
into their plans, assisted in buying the
property, with Governor Randolph secur-
ed a favorable charter from the State, and
from its organization until the time of his
death was most active in its support.
Up to 1884 he was ce-president, but
upon the death of Governor Randolph
he was elected president and continued
as such until 1887, when he resigned in
favor of Mr.. J. w Roberts. He took
great pleasure in attending the meetings
at Headquarters and in securing new
and desirable members. In contributions
of money he was ever ready Upon
hearing of his death the trustees held a
special meeting and passed suitable res
olutions. Mr.. Roberts represented the
Association as one of the pail bearers.
Messrs. Hampton o. Marsh, Edmund
D. Halsey, Robert j. Turnbull, H. w.
Miller and James F. Randolph were also
present.
Probably the loss of no man in this
State would have been more sincerely
felt than his. So active was he in every
enterprise for the benefit of his fellow
men, SO liberal in his charities, SO pru-
dent and SO wise in his management of the
many financial institutions in which he
was director, SO cordial and friendly
in his manner his loss will be widely
and deeply mourned. 1t was truthfully
said of him that the kindness of his dis
position beamed in his face and that his
name in trade was guaranty of good
faith.

heard SO much, has struck Jersey City.
The recent Hudson County Grand Jury
found 2S4 indictments the first being
against Superintendent of Police Smith
of Jersey City for malfeasance in office
in affording protection to ''green goods"
men and policy dealers. Architect
Giele was indicted for certifying to
fraudulent accounts. The presentment
also said that the investigation made by
the Grand Jury as to the management
of the Jersey City police disclosed a
laxity of discipline that strongly pointed
to the absolute protection by the police
authorities of certain classes of crime.

WHEN the all important question of
stone roads is thoroughly understood and
the roads properly built, the public will
wonder why they did not have them
years before. An instance is cited from
our neighboring county, Union, where a
farmer owned 1913 acres which he valued
a few years ago at from $50 to $75 an
acre, but was unable to sell at that price.
The farm was improbable because bad
roads made it expensive to get its produce
to market, and the profits did not repre-
sent fair rate of interest on the esti-
mated value of the land. The road i'm
provement craze struck the county and
about sixty miles of good telford high
ways were put down, and the result to
this New Jersey farmer was that he has
since refused 5000 an acre for his farm.
THE election in Gravesend, N. Y, on
Tuesday resulted in the selection of the

McKane's followers worked hard, but

methods of fraudulent voting. The

New Utrecht. Queens county was car
ried for the Republicans, something I'M
precedented in its political history. The
gains in both Queens and Kings counties
were simply without precedent. Long
Island City, the home of Gleason and his
notorious heelers, went Republican for
the first time within the memory of the
s'oldest inhabitants These two sister
counties gave Republican majorities-
large ones, too.
