COOK SLOW FOR ONCE,

Freebooter Cooks proposal that an
ordinance should be prepared by the
Counsel of the Board of Freeholders
limiting the speed of automobiles to six
miles an hour on the county roads, met
with more support than he expected, for
it was agreed that the ordinance thould
apply to all vehicles.
We do not believe that Mr.. Cook
would keep horse in his stable that
would not carry him at much greater
speed than that, and if the ordinance is
passed he is likely to have considerable
amount of exercise in his endeavor to
keep the law.
The ordinary bicyclist will have diff
fculty in keeping his wheel from wob
bling if he has to go no faster than six
miles an hour. Outside of towns ten
miles an hour is not too fast. We pre-
sumo that if Freebooter Cook will try
for day or two as an experiment to
comply with the proposed ordinance he
will be anxious to substitute the word
ten for six.

Communications.

To THE EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE:
A gentleman of Morristown, speaking
from personal knowledge, has stated
that up to some twenty years ago at
least, the famous sewers of Paris were
in addition to the cesspools that still
existed in that great city, and that these
cesspoos were cleaned out just as at
Morristown, excepting that the work
was done at night, and was under the
absolute control of the municipal au-
! thorities.
Does not this clearly indicate to us
the experiment we should choose
Can there be doubt that all we need
for the present is to, by law, place all
cesspools within the town limits under
the absolute controlsof the same author
tiles.
There would be no greater Invasion
| of privacy than now, because the same
carts adequately increased in numbers
of course) and men and teams would
continue to do the work.
Once all the cesspools had been scien.
tiically put in order under the direction
of an expert, the system would almost
certainly satisfactorily answer the sani-
tary needs of the town until its popula-
ton had grown to be equal 20 that of
Paris but if ever we wished to change
we could do so with a free hand, and
only the expense of the possible loss on
the sale OF comparatively few carts
and horses.
The stock bugaboo of ''now or never"
has been so often used it should no
longer brighten anybody. Large under
takings are not cut so fine If we re-
fuse and even ten or twenty years hence
should ask to join the tidewater associa-
ton it is safe to say that we would be
received as cordially as now.
More likely, though. because of the
heavy cost of breakdowns and repairs,
and the heavy cost of probable litiga-
lions with private owners, municipal
and county authorities, and State and
National governments, by that time the
trunk sewer will have gone out with a
bad smell; and we would have to choose
some other system.
Meanwhile, however. our Board of
Aldermen would have been learning
from the further experience of the
Morris Plains State Hospital, of Madi-
son, and many towns and cities, and we
taxpayers would have been saving,
instead of risking, many hundreds of
thousands of dollars of our hard earned
money Why not try such sensible and
promising plan?

PUSH THE WORK.

The Board of Aldermen, after careful
inquiry. decided to adopt the trunk
sewer scheme provided that satisfactory
terms can be arranged with other mu-
inequalities interested in the undertak-
ings. The Chronicle rather favored a
disposal plant but we cordially support
the aldermen believing, that they have
acted on their best judgment and with
full information. Sewers are too urgent
" needed in town to have time wasted
discussing personal preferences, as to
ways and means, especially as it will
very likely take about two years to con-
struct and put in operation good sys-
tenn of sewerage.

RIGHT YOU ARE, NEleHsoR:

Under the old leadership the Demo

victories by deserving to win. What
the party must do to win this year is to
nominate candidate for governor
whom decent Democrats can vote for
without apologizing to himself and his
neighbors for what he does. We will
be just about sixty thousand votes
short of electing a governor on plat

Theodore Brown, for many years pro-

in Morristown will attest.

sition is place for one to spend his
vacation, if he wants change of seen
cry and something to awaken him from
his lethargy.
Progress" is the watchword and the
exemplification of it is found il the
various buildings and exhibits. One of
the most impressive sights is the light
ing of the Rain Bow City. Promptly at
$50 standing on the bridge, near the
tower, watching with close attention in
the fast gathering darkness, a faint
glimmer of light was discerned, diffusing
the darkness in all directions. Steadily
1t increased in power, until at last every
building stood out TRANSPORTED against
the sky, leaving each line and corner in
bold relief while the fountain in the
tower, pulsed and glowed like stream
of blue and golden fire. In the lake
were innumerable lilies of fire, and on
the winds of the night came the strains
of the overture to Lohengrin, played by
Sousa's Band, adding beauty to the
scene.
One of the greatest exhibitions of pro
gress was one of the exhibits in the
Railroad Building. There stood thu

the N. Y. 6. & H. r. R. r., weigh
ing 172 tons, and by it's side was the
first passenger locomotive that was run

20 years ago. This locomotive coult
be placed in the tender of the new one
and still there would be room to spare
The various buildings and exhibits were
all very interesting as well as instruc
tive, and for one to get comprehensive
idea from one who had been there would
be impossible. One must visit and SCI
for himself the glory and wonder of the
Rain Bow City.
