Why do people complain of hard times when
any woman or man can make from s5 10 $40 q
day easily? All have heard of the wonderful

are apt TO think they can't make money sell

every family wants one. One agent has made

ICE WATER FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN
John Boyd Provides a Cooler for
Then Near the Court House.

John Boyd is known the county over
for mis- superabundance of good nature.
Some people try to take advantage of it
and endeavor to impose on HIM. Few
succeed. Among these who have for. a
long time taken advantage of his genial
ways are the children who attend school
in the n~eighborhood. For months they
used to tramp into the Freeholders Office
in, large numbers every noontime for a
drink of ice water. They broke glasses
faster than John could replace them n
made the place look like Newark ave-
nue. on a muddy day. Mr.. Boyd stood
this as long as possible, but finally his
patience gave out and he devised a
means of getting rid of his daily visi-
tors.
He didn't wan them to go dry, simply
because he felt compelled to drive them
out of his office, so he had a water cooler
and strong tin cups placed in the boiler
room back of the County Jail for their
especial use. If any of them attempt
to invade the Freeholder's Office now he
Shoes them out and sends them to the
boiler room.

OENsURED THE JURORS.
Judge Hudspeth After Those Who
Slfrk TIL ir Work.

Judge Hudspeth in the Court of Gen
eral Sessions yesterday morning severely
reprimanded the petit jurors. The fact,
he said, had been brought to his notice
that jurors were in the habit of shirk-
ing their duties. They would be present
at ten o'clock to answer the roll call,
but would leave Immediately afterwards
and not appear again during the day.
This was nothing more or less than
contempt of court and unless the prac-
tice ceased the offenders would be Sc
verely punished.
A number of jurymen who have faith
fully performed their duties demurred at
the severe language used by HIS Honor.
After recess he made them feel all right
by again referring to the subject, saying
that he knew Just who the offenders
were. There were only a few of them
and he didn't mean by his previous re-
marks to cast any reflection on the other
member of the jury.

That Note 10 the Mayors sPecihca-
lions.

Now comes an explanation of the note
appended to Mayor Wanser's water Spe-
cifcations, which says that the said note
does not mean what 1t seems to mean
or what 1.-THE News understood 1t TO
mean. 1t does not mean that the con-
tractors can keep on filing supplement-
arv propositions at intervals of time.
The saving virtue, We are informed Is
in the phrase. attach them to theT
bids" So the meaning is that in addi-
ton to their formal proposition In con-
formity with the specifications. bidders
may put in as many informal PROPOSE
tions as they desire, but all at the same
time and attached to their formal bid.
We may be p~ardoned for not suspect
ing that thi was what was meant IN
view of the previous clause, which READS
thus:-
Any proposal not complying VIZ MAI an
the requirements Will De deenheu
NAL and rejected.
We doubt if the plan. as now inter-
preted, has any legal merit superior to
thai which Mr.. Blair pronounced illegal.
The idea seems to be that a general
competition is opened among bids IN ac-
cordance with specifications and BIDS not
In accordance with specifications, only
to get the non-accordant ones considered
they must be tackled on to formal ones.
In other words. Mr.. Reilly, for instance,
to gain a hearing for a system which
he APPROVES and a proposal which he
means in good faith, must tack it on
to a system which he disapproves and
a bid which he does not mean.
This is not a. good way TO manage
the AFFAIR. If we are to open the door
for all sorts of plans, let US advertise a
general call for bids for a gravity sup
ply, say, without restrictions of any
kind. except the requirement that a
deposit shall be made as an evidence
of good faith. If we want to tie the
competition down to something described
in specifications, let US stick to the
terms of the specifications. There can
be no difficulty in any ompan
e~mbodying il a formal bid all
that it has to offer and all
that it wants us to pay. For
instance, if the Jersey City Water Com
pany had realized before filing its bid
that Its sources of supply would be re-
garded as insufficient, it could very easily
have embraced it's supplementary offers
In its original bid.

The Old, Old Liquor squabble.

The invitation of the State Liquor
Dealers Association to the pastors to
Join in discussing the repression of the
liquor traffic Is amusing if not important.
1t would be an entertaining thing to see
the Rev. John L.. Scudder and DR.. Brett
debating with Patrick McArdle and Mike
Doyle. It would be a contest of giants.
The arguments on both sides might be
taken in shorthand and printed in letters
Of gold as the final w.nnowing of wisdom
on this important topic.
Unfortunately, the invitation is not
aikely to be accepted. The ministers are
not fond of struggling with the spirit IN
Its own strongholds. They find 1t much
more comfortable to descant upon the
-ruinousness of rum amid the sympathetic
circles of their own congregations.
Neither do we seriously think the invi-
tation was uttered in good faith The
liQuor dealers would hardly enjoy the
things the pastors would be apt to say
* they came to their proposed joint meet
ing, and they know it. The invitation
may be well regarded as a sort of bluff
ard we nave no doubt it is a safe one.
In point Of fact. the views of neither
party are of the slightest value in an
intelligent discussion of the liquor traffic.
Both bodies are extremists and unreason-
Ing extremists at that. The liquor deal
ers have shown insufficient intelligence
to grasp the great truth and the eIey-
alton of Their business in both its inan-
cial and social aspects depends upon Its
narrow restriction. The clergymen. on
;se other hand. cannot grasp the propo-
sition that in demanding the unnatural
and impossible, they defeat their nance
or getting anything.
A low license liquor dealer and a pro-
hibition clergyman are opposite types of
mental arrangement. The one is just as
mischievous as the other, and the two
combined have produced the present rum
The iiquor question is one to be deal
with BY men OF moderation and enlight-
eminent. The solution OF it is very high
license with regulations as liberal as Is
consistent with decency-these regula-
tons 10 be enforced with uncompromssine
s~tdngency.
The trouble Is both the clergymen and
