Can you tell me why there is not a
telephone in the Morristown Library
and Lyceum; 1t is one of the most
public places in the town while large
number of its supporters are likewise
telephone subscribers. Frequently
want to ask if a book is in, especially
on stormy day and thus save walk
uptown. Then I am of the opinion
that telephone might be of great
use in. case of fire. Perhaps other Ii
brary subscribers would like to COM
municate with the librarians COCA

The Bosschietter case revolving and
painful as it is carries with it lessons
exceedingly important to parents and
young people. 1t is absolutely essen
tial to the safety of young girls es-
pecially that they should not be al
lowed to wander around the streets at
night without proper escort. In
every town there are young persons
depraved in character who rejoice in
the downfall of the virtuous and who
are seeking for opportunities to accom-
plish that end. Too often this is made
easy for them by the fact that young
women and young men are also al
lowed to wander aimlessly around the
street at night and to visit question
able places of resort and amusement.

has been an honored and successful

Concerning the Governorship.

Naturally enough the most impor-
tant question heard has been "Who's
for next governor" But two names
are heard in reply-Chairman Frank
lin Murphy of the Republican State
Committee and President Mahlon
Pitney, of the Senate. In Mr.. Murphy s
case he has boldly announced that he
is after the nomination, means to
have it and thinks he is worthy of it
at his party's hands. Mr.. Pitney on
the contrary has adopted more con-
sentative course and prefers to have
his friends and supporters do the talk
ing and wait little while before an
nouncing himself a candidate. Or
thing was plainly evident, however,
at the luncheon rendered by Senator
Sewell, and that was that Mr.. Pitney
is immensely popular and that the
proclaiming him for gubernatorial
honors. During almost the entire
luncheon he was hemmed in one COR
ner by friends who were pouring into
his ears reports as to the various coun-
ties. A noticeable move, too, was
that made by Senator Sewell, who was
escorted to the banquet room by Mr..
Pitney, and who later walked over
to and took up a position beside the
Senator from Morris remaining there
sometime. Whether premeditated or
simply accidental the act attracted
attention and gave rise to the belief
that the power behind the party was
indicating its preference Mr.. Murphy
was present.

The cold experienceby by the Alas

the spoilsmen have received during the
past week from announcements and
rumors that have emanated from the
white house. The president has de-
clared that "all appointments in our

the ground of merit. This assurance
was made to Mr.. Clinton r. Woodruff,
chairman of the committee on Deepen

dent has allowed it to be known that
he will oppose Representative Hop

The announcement from Senator
Vest, of Missouri, that he will under
no circumstances consider reelection
to the senate will prove matter of re-
greet to the democrats, not only of Mis-
souri, but of the country. He has been
a loyal democrat and a consistent
fighter for democratic measures in the
senate for nearly two decades. Sena-
tor Vest laughed when asked what the
republicans would do in the matter of
the trusts. He said that during the
last congress the republicans in the
house passed bill making the proyis-
ions Of the Sherman law more effective
but the republicans never permitted it
to come to vote in the senate. They
referred it to the judiciary committee
and there it died. Every effort of the

Some very pointed questions have
been put to the president during the
past week to ascertain how far he is
prepared to endorse the speech which
Senator Lodge made in Boston recent
ly and which, because Of the known in.
timacy between the president and the
Junior senator from Massachusetts,
has been given wide popularity. While
the president Isl too good friend Of
Senator Lodge to 'turn him down"
unless it became absolutely necessary,
it is believed that he considers that his
friend was a little reckless in his utter
ances, Mr., Lodges statement that
for any foreign nation to secure q
naval station on this side Of the Allan
tic or the Pacific would be regarded as
direct violation of the Monroe doc
trine has strong faint of iingoism
and his demand for "a havy so strong
that no other nation would dare to at
tack us" is not in accordance with
American principles. The policy CT
this country in the past has been to so
compel the respect of other nations
that there was no necessity for main
tanning immense military and naval
forces in order to prevent attack These
facts have been emphasized in the
hearing of the president and it has
been suggested that unless the Massa-
