NS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A''
The Right Hon. Robert Davis expects to De III
Jersey City this evening for the purpose VI eN-
planning to his centur!ons and lieutenants what
his orders are relative to the Mayoralty IL Is
believed to be his intention to keep Mayor hoos
in Cflce. At least he has so announced ou'
some men near the throne say that the haSoi
is to be "trun down" if he can be coaxeo INTO
making his important appointments before the
City Convention is held.
There has long been a popular delusion that
Paterson was polluting the Passac River Inls
fallacious notion was due 70 The fact that Pater-
sons sewage does go into the river. n commit
tee of Paterson citizens, appointed by Mayor
Hinchliffe has succeeded, however. in Demon
stratlng to its own satisfaction that the dye
stuffs which are thrown into the river with the
sewage Kill all the bad germs. 1t naturaiiy Io'-
lows that the odors complained OF are reay
good for people living along the course OF the
river but they never knew it until now
The laws OF Connecticut on river pollution are
said 70 he practically similar to those in New
| Jersey on that subject There, as here' the
sewage is thrown into the adjacent stFeaiiiS'
Lawsuits have been in the courts Of Connecticut
for years TO prohibit this pollution ana 'he
Superior Court has just decided that the city OF
Waterbury must cease using the NauSatucA
River a sewer.
Professor Andrew Jackson De Voc was quoted
Yesterday as saying that 1T will blow up warm
and rain Sunday" Alas! the people nave lost
/ faith in Hackensacks weather expert. Ana
| sore disappointment It is to find him not only
fallible. but exceedingly too much so. They had
| locked TO him to smash the grinding monopoly
| In the weather business now exercised by the
Government. and their expectations were eNal'-
| ed. How can they trust him longer after the
way that he has fooled them this week? For
Wednesday and Thursday he promised mild
fogs," and for yesterday, to-day and tomorrow
"cloudy-rain" A large, voluble and expansive
! apology from the Professor is in order

So you have some of the breed in Somerset
County, too?
Politicians are of course patiently awaiting the n,
return Of Leader Dayis so tnar tney e MY Nr DAVIS
! returns Saturday night.-(Jersey City News
'Tis only proper that they should wait 1t
would be the height of impertinence for them to
have any opinions OF their own on the selection
of a Mayor
Teddy" Carrons patriotic soul IS sorely agi-
tated when he sees mercenaries OF all kinds
using the Stars and Stripes in their pursuit OF
filthy lucre. and Teddy" has vowed that the
flag must be protected from such desecration.
He has now before the Legislature bill for that
purpose. and his brother lawmakers can do no
| nd
longing. the sole desire and ambition Of Hudson
County's foremost statesman.
! Hackensack people are indignant as they
have a right TO be, at the sensational stories
sent broadcast about diphtheria being epidemic
in their town. Stories OF that kind do great
damage to any place, and more especially 10
town like Hackensack which depends largely on
its attractiveness home resort for New
York professional and business men, The editor
| Of THE Hackensack Record" assures The Trib-
une that there are not more than ten cases Of
diphtheria in the whole place, and that none are
serious Some kinds Of fakes and sensational
yarns are comparatively harmless, but those
that falsely represent a healthful town as hot
bed Of disease cannot be classed in that cate
CORY.
The lawyers are trying to repeal the Dunn
Act" under which persons may be examined for
admission TO the bar without having served an
apprenticeship in a law office This act
passed at the instance OF John T. Dunn while he
was in the Assembly. Mr.. Dunn tired Of the
painting business and decided TO take up the
legal profession, and the statute in question was
enacted to clear the way for him. Perhaps there
| are good reasons for repeating the act. II will
I not do however, TO urge recent scandals as a
| reason. or to say that the repeal of the law IS
likely to put an end TO such scandals. So far as
! known the lawyers who have misconducted
themselves all entered the profession through
the regular channel. and did not take advan-
tage Of the Dunn Act Spending three years in
law office doesn't necessarily improve the
moral balance OF prospective attorney.
THE West Hudson Press urges the Senate to
quest for an investigation OF Hudson County.
The Press remarks that:
There are men who regard the demand OF Nc
Dermott as glsh. or blufr or SUN. Iney deciate @
/ I'm showing that the ten thousand majority for
| Crane i'm Hudson County, was fixed thing. and
! that gambling has been protected by the authorl-
| ties right under the eyes Of brace OF statesmen
who are camoring for an Investigation ot what they
! do not want investigated. so mucn the better, II
true for Republicanism in the future Then. TOO 1t
! Is believed that there Is and has been ordained,
systematic pilfering in the administration OF county
affairs.
