COMMON SENSE AT LAST.

The Railway Reformatory, white
elephant of unusual size and legacy of
the Werts administration, will have at
tention, at an early date, at the hands
of the legislative committee of which
Senator johnson of Bergen is the chair
man. The plans, as originally adopted,
are not practical, and the annual ex-
pense Of operating the institution would
be at least 100000. Changes will be
made in the scheme. Probably the ro-
tunda, already up, will be torn down and
replaced by an addition in which COM
mon sense will predominant
As there is urgent need for an early
completion of at least portion of the
building, an appropriation ample to ac-
complish this will doubtless be recon-
mended by the committee.

THE BOUNTY QUESTION.

We very much regret that an exceed
ingly mercenary spirit is being manifested
by some of our New Jersey volunteers in
the Spanish war.
Very properly. it is proposed that the
State should give bounty to mark its ap-
probation of the patriotism and seifdenial
of those who responded 30 readily to their
country's call in the hour of need Such
a bounty should not be so small as to be
contemplate. On the other hand, no
attempt should be made to treat the
matter as if patriotism were marketable
article, for which pay should be given,
The amount voted to the soldiers of
the Civil War seems to us, therefore, to
be suitable in this case OF course the
volunteers of the Spanish war for the
most part did not suffer as much, either
in pocket or otherwise, as the veterans
of thirty years ago. For all that, it
would be ungenerous for the State to vote
less now than it did formerly the bounty
being in the nature of an honorarium
and not as a reimbursement. To
vote more, as is proposed In the Braun
and Kings bills, would argue either that
the soldiers of the Civil War were less
deserving of honor or that the volunteers
in the Spanish war were less imbued with
patriotism

Bill No 116, on Wednesday morning,
by Mr.. Hutchinson. which. while in
tended to give the Mercer county free
holders authority to expend $75, 900 in
remodeling the courthouse in thst county,
is general in its character.
Bill No 81 is of interest to those cOun-

appropriated for that purpose.

charitable purposes from taxation.
Assemblyman Smith is after the but

his No. 176, which requires that all

be of bright pink color. The coloring
is to be from fruit or vegetable not in

The "Joker" bill thus far in the House
is No. 1870. Evidently it was drawn
either at the instigation of lazy re-
porter or else by one with little know
ledge of newspaper work. 1t provides
that ten hours shall constitute a

any newspaper, or periodical as re-
porter or correspondent. But in case
any reporter shall be embarrassed and
need more money, he may perform
extra work for extra pay.

JERSEYMAN HALLUCINATIONS.

Thelegal editor of the Jerseymdn is APP
parently deeply concerned as to the facts
and figures set forth in the CHRONICLE
relative to the annual report of the State
Board of Agriculture. Notwithstanding
all the insinuations of the esteemed Jer-
seyman to the contrary, it will DE found
that the State board has complied with
the law in every respect, even to publish
ing the amounts paid each lecturer.
That Morris, in common with her sis
ter counties, did not receive an appro-
priation. is to be regretted. When it has
a regularly organized Board of Agricul-
ture, not single individual who per-
haps imagines he is one all by himself,
the appropriation will be forthcoming.
The attack upon President Dye is just
what might be expected from those
either ignorant Of the facts or who will
fully seek to misrepresent matters of
public record.
The salary of the president of the
board, including his work in connection
with the tuberculosis commission, is
but 81 800; an amount which, as his en-
tire time is taken up with the work, is
not extravagant.
Should the JerSeymaB make personal
investigation, the facts would be found
exactly as set forth in the CHRONICLE.

SCHOOL TEACHERS SALARIES

The Paterson CAL remarks that there
Is almost as much complaint in Pennsyl-
vania over the small salaries paid to the
public school teachers as there is in some
parts Of this State. According to the
figures given by the Philadelphia Press,
the average of salaries paid to men
teachers is only $S4Os4 a year, and to
women $306.64, and this is brought up
largely by the higher rates ruling in the
larger cities. In the country districts
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1899-02-24

the average is only 1926, while there are
seventeen who receive less than 800 per
year: 1870 who are paid less than $3.50,
and 1858 less than 5000. Another fact
not at all to the States credit is that
while the tendency in the surrounding
States is to increase salaries, in Pennsyl-
vania it is the other way, the average
rate having been reduced nearly So in
the last two years.

Short Story OF French Soldiers
Stoicism After the Battle
of Montmirail.

In February, 1914, the French army
made a heroic stand against the allied
forces of Europe, and in one week
retrieved for a short but glorious period
its lost prestige. Though composed
largely of half-raw recruits, it escaped
from the very center of quarter of
a million foes, attacked, an army of
10000 men, won four battles and cap
tured GS cannon, five generals and u.s.
900 prisoners.
After the terrible fight at Montml-
rail, Maj. Bancel, staff surgeon of tn.
guard, was attending the wounded as
well as he could, close behind the col
umn still engaged. Looking up from
one unfortunate man, whose wounds
he was dressing, he perceived within
a short distance an old mounted chas-
seur of the guard, who was TRANQUILITY
smoking his pipe and watching the sur
geon.
Bancel did not at first pay any, atten-
tion to him. By and by he noticed the
man again, still in the same posture
TRANQUILITY smoking his pipe.
What are you doing here?" cried
the surgeon.
Smoking" answered the man. "Does
the major forbid me to smoke?"
What" returned the officer. Aren't
your ashamed to be loating around here
while your comrades are covering them
selves with glory?"
The chasseur blew out a cloud of
smoke, and, driving his right spur into
his steed, made him execute a half
turn; then he said, taking his pipe out
of his mouth:
Look, major, don't you think l
have my dose as it is? Can l do any
thing more?"
The major looked. The chasseur's
leg was shot Off halfway between the
knee and the ankle, so that his left
foot was hanging and dangling against
his horse. The veterans question re-
quired no answer; but it may be sur
missed what care and attention the sur
geon lavished on the imperturbable
chasseur.-YoUth's Companion.
