HE OLD LIBERTY BELL.

The Louisiana Purchase exposition
management have determined to bring,
if possible, the old Liberty Bell from
Philadelphia to ST. Louis for exhibition
at the worlds fair in 1904. If the effort
is successful it will be the first visit to
the territory west of the Mississippi
river of this sacred memento of early
days Of American independence
Contrary to the popular impression, the
bell did not ring at Philadelphia on
July HTS, after the passage of the Dec
laration of Independence. Its service to
American Independence was that it called
the colonists to public meeting at the
state house on July s. 1776, at which the
Declaration was first proclaimed If
the Liberty Bell goes to st. Louis it will
be the sixth journey which the relic has
taken. tho first was from Philadelphia
to Allentown in 1777, to save it from fall
ling into the hands of the British, when
the Americans evacuated Philadelphia.
The other four journeys of the bell have
been to American expositions: To New
Orleans in 1885; TO Chicago in 1898; to
Atlanta in 1895; and to Charleston in
1901

WHY NOT MoRRlsToWN?

The Health Board of Orange has
several ordinances ON first reading,
providing for the sanitary regula-
tions Of barber shops and saloons and
whereby BARRIERS and saloon keepers
will be compelled to take sanitary
precautions to prevent the spread of
contagion and infection in the con-
duct of their business,
The BARRIERS ordinance provides
that all the implements employed in
the shops shall be thoroughly treated
with antiseptios every morning be-
fore business is begun, and similarly
treated after each time they are used.
All saloon keepers are compelled to
wash drinking vessels thoroughly be-
fore serving drinks, in water that
has not been used for any other pur-
pose.
If necessary in Orange, why not
in Morristown?

CONGRESSMAN FOWLER

The Republicans of the new FIT
Congressional District are to be con-
graduated in having for their candi-
date, in the Congressional campaign,
such strong Republican, experienced
legislator, eloquent speaker, accom-
plished gentleman, and strong, virile
representative citizen of New Jersey,
as Charles Newell Fowler, of Union
County. This is not hattery, it is
the truth. and much more might be
said without paying too great a
tribute to Mr.. Fowler's character and
ability. Congressman Fowler has
represented the old FifthCongression-
al District, which embraced Bayonne
in Hudson County, Union County
and the townships of Essex County,
in a manner which has not only re-
bounded to the honor of his State and
party, but to the advantage of his i'm
mediate constituency. And such
abroa and bipartisan view has Mr..
Fowler taken of his duties, that
Democrats have, on more than one
occasion, felt constrained to compli-

NEW LAWS OPERATIVE JULY 4th.

A number of laws passed by the
last Legislature became operative on
the Fourth of July. Among them is
one requiring nonresident gunners to
take out licenses to shoot game.
Licenses cost $40 each and are OBJ
tainable of any county clerk. They
have the address, business and gen.
eral statement of the identity of the
holder. If the fine of 1915 for viola
ton be not paid gunner's weapon
may be seized and sold after ten days.
An exception permits the shooting
of wild water fowl and snipe and
mud hens without a license. This
act does not apply to hunting or gun
ming on preserves that are established
A resident may be invited and
shoot there without taking out a
license. Other laws provide fine of
$25 for selling pass and rock fish of
less than eight inches, and prohibit
all killing of deer for three years.
Another act requires trading stamp
companies to redeem the whole or a
part of their stamps at the option of
the holders. The general act regu-
lating formation and operation of in
surance companies and the revisions
relating to marriages, divorces, mort
cages, county clerks, justices of the
peace, and the procedure in the court
of chancery went into effect also

ment him for the broad guage and
democratic manner in which he at
tended to the wants of his constitu
ents, irrespective of their politics.
Mr.. Fowler is an uncompromising
Republican, but Democratic constitu-
ents requiring his services have found
him just as obliging, attentive and
serviceable as if they were members
of the same party.
Mr.. Fowler has made a splendid
record i'll Congress. To have succeed
ed to the Craftsmanship of the import.
ant Committee on Banking and Our
rency, during the comparatively brief
term of Mr.. Fowler's service in the
House of representatives, is greater
tribute to his abilities and influence
than any words of commendation
which can be offer ed here. 1t is true
that he did not succeed in securing
the passage of his banking bill at
this session of Congress, but the mea-
sure received the almost universal
and unqualified approval of the press
of the country, and the endorsement
of financial authorities. That
there were some DIRECTORS 20
some features of the bill it is
true, but no banking and cur
reney measure introduced in. Congress
in years possessed the good features
and merits of Mr.. Fowler's bill, or
received such general approval 1t was
great accomplishment that he sue
ceededsin securing the adoption of his
bill by most substantial majority
of the members of the Committee on
Banking and Currency, in view of
the jealousies and differences of opin-
ion which q bill involving the bank
ing and currency question would,
above all others, arouse. There is
good reason, however, to belive that
the bill will be adopted by the Re-
publican caucus at the next session.
Mr.. Fowler is one of those who
have contributed largely to the in
6uence and prestige of New Jersey in
Congress, and the continuation
of such representatives in the service
of the state is in the highest degree
important. In the gain of two men,
bers and the Encouragement of the
Congressional districts the Republi
cans land others) also have but one
regret, which is found that they are
to lose the direct services of Mr..
Fowler as their representative, but
they rejoice that he has been nomi-
mated by the Republicans of the new
Fifth District and that he will repre-
sent that district i'll particular, and
the whole State in general, maintain
ing, unimpaired, the strength and
influence of New Jersey at the Ma
tional Capitol. Orange Journal.

At the last meeting of the Board of
Health of Montclair, Health Inspect
or Parker, who is paying close atten-
tion to the mosquito question from a
local standpoint believes that unsani-
tary conditions are responsible for
the existence of tho insects in that
place. He exhibited a glass jar to the
Board, the inside of which was
swarming with mosquitoes bred in a
manure pile within the town limits.
The people of Montclair will be
asked to co operate with the Board of
Health in it's efforts to keep the town
free from stagnant pools, and to see
that no vessels containing water are
needlessly exposed. Crude oil will
be used wherever necessary.

STATE OUTLOOK FAVORS REPUBLI-
CANS.

New Jersey will be represented in
the next Congress by a delegation of
ten-an increase of two members due
to the creating of two new Congress
sional Districts by ar act of the
legislature of 1901. Camden Glouces
ter and Salem counties comprise the
First District, in which Hon. Henry
G. Loudenslager will probably be re-
nominated. Two years ago these
counties gave Republican plurality
of $50.
In the Second District formed of
the counties of Cape May, Cumber-
land, Atlantic and Burlington, the
Hon. John ]. Gardener has been
renominated These counties gave a
Republican plurality of 8, 643.
The Third District is made up of
the counties of Middlesex, Monmouth
and Ocean, in which Benjamin F.
Howell will be renominated. Two
years ago these counties gave a Re-
publian plurality of 6,006.
Judge William M. Lanning, of
TIenton, will be named in the Fourth
District comprised of Hunterdon,
Mercer and Somerset. in which the
Republican plurality was 1866 two
years ago.
Union, Morris and Warren coun-
ties comprise the Fifth District, in
which the Honorable Charles N.
Fowler has been renominated. The
Republican plurality in these coun-
ties in 1900 was 4,72l.
In the Sixth. District comprising of
Bergen, Passaic, and Sussex counties,
which may nominate Col. Barbour of
Bergen, the plurality two years ago
was A, 054.
Essex will have two Representatives
in Congress, for the Seventh and
Eighth Districts. The candidate for
the former has not as yet put in an
official appearance. In the latter,
there seems to be strong desire
on the part of leading Republicans
to renominate Congressman Parker
Essex County gave the heroic Re-
publican plurality of Is, 742 in 1900.
The Ninth and Tenth Districts
comprise Hudson County. which gave
a Democratic plurality two years ago
of 3,641. Mr.. McDermott with the
late Mr.. Salmon, of the Old Fourth
were the only Democratic Represen-
tative in the last Congress from this
State. Of course, Allan wants to
get back to Congress-. So much in
earnest is he to go that he is even
willing to change his residence from
the Ninth to the Tenth District
in order to be candidate from the
latter the only sure Democratic
District in New Jersey.
AT the recent municipal election in
Jersey City, aforetime the Democrat
io State strong hold, the Republican
candidate for Mayor was elected by
a large majority. MIR. Pagan ad
ministration thus far has been alto
gether in the interests of the people
and not as heretofore largely for
politicians and as once publicly
stated by Congressman McDermott,
their hungry Democratic hangers
on. j." This of necessity will appeal
strongly to all voters who are desir-
GUS of a further cleaning up of official
affairs in Hudson. Bearing this in
mind the probabilities are that the
majority in that county will be large
ly reduced, while the Ninth District,
may be carried by the Republicans.
Surely the outlook from Demo
cratic standpoint, for success in the
State is not encouraging.

the pastor of a we'll known Baptist
Church in New York, which leads
Editor Wishart, of the Trenton
Times to comment both aptly and
wisely as follows;
"The only music that should be
employed in church service is that
which assists in fulfilling the pur-
poses, of public worship. To be APP
propriate it must tend to elevate,
to comfort, to inspire holy desires
and purifying thoughts. The other
kinds of music can he had anywhere,
and of much better quality than
the church can furnish. We never
have heard whistling which satisfied
these requirements. 1t was per-

NOT so VERY HARD TO
REACH THE NORTH POLE
Arctic Explorer Says the Food Problem
Is All That Stands in the Way.

Arctic Explorer Says the Food Problem
Is All That Stands in the Way.
NEW YORK. Sept. 19.-Dr. Fred
erick Cook of Brooklyn, who was with
Lieut.. Peary on one of his arctic trips
and with the Belgica expedition to the
south pole as chief surgeon, expresses
the opinion that Peary's latest en-
deavor was by no means failure and
that the explorer has added materially
to the annals of science which will be
found invaluable, in fact, more valu
able than the actual discovery of the
pole itself"
"All this talk about the terrible dan
gers to be met before reaching the pole
is sheer rot" continued DR.. Cook. "a
man, all things taken into account, is
just as safe on the arctic ice fields as he
is in New York. There are no fever
germs, no contagious diseases, no mi
asmitic swamps, no sewer gas, no de-
caying vegetables, no rotting rags.
Everything is on ice. There is no trou-
BILE traversing. the ice fields. nor from
the cold, which is not so severe as the
cut Of the saline blasts on the Atlantic
seacoasts."
1t is the food question, he added, that
was the "cul de sac that closes up the
way to the pole" When this problem
is solved, reaching the pole will, in his
opinion, be quite a simple undertaking.
