the laws of the Modes, and enforces them
with true autocratic and monopolistic
temper. Disposed to disregard the con-
vcnience of its patrons in the making of
rules and enforcing them, it does not
hesitate to substitute impudence for
courtesy, adding insult to injury.
This may be good business policy in the
management OF telephone companies hut
If that is so such companies are excep-
tions to ordinary business rules. Com
petitors could scarcely imagine more
helpful fault upon the part Of any one,
!! and the conditions here appear to have
reached the point at which any fair SER
! vice coupled with courtesy upon the part
+ of the management, has n wide open door
in front Of it and earnest invitations to
enter it. Possibly competition of that
character can make the p. & A. man
agrment realize that courtesy is valr-
able business asset 1t does not appear
70 realize that now.

The Aims House stewardsbiu

-~-~--~
At least three members of the Board Of
Chosen Freeholders are unhappy because of
law which renders members of the Board
ineligible to election to the Stewardship oil
the Aims House and Asylum; they are
Freeholders Hoffman, of East Greenwich;
Nichols, of Harrison, and Hendrickson, OF
Deptford.
The law which has changed the whole
aspect of the Stewardship election was dis
covered by Freebooter Jones, of Franklin,
and he has had good deal of quiet fun at
the expense Of his colleagues who were in
the arena with their booms. And the
aggravating feature of the law is that it
makes Freeholders ineligible for a whole
year after their term of service as Chosen
Freeholders terminates, else we might have
three designations from the Board, and a
fight for the office that would interest the
yellow journals of the metropolis to the
extent of printing the photographs of the
contestants.
4 As the succession to the Stewardship
stands now, Edward Scott, Of Wenonah, is
the only eligible candidate for the office.
And Mr.. Scott is peculiarly we'll fitted for
the place. He was successful farmer oil
Deptford township all his life, until year
ago, when he sold his farm and retired to
Wen0nah. He is native of the county
and good all-round business man. And
what is very important, has a help-mate
who would make an ideal matron of this
important institution.
Hence, while the discovery of this law is
not source of pleasure to three worthy men
who would like to become care-talSers oil
the wards of the county, the institution
will not have to be abandoned yet.
The Board will elect at the November
meeting.
