THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON

Practically there remain but two
weeks for holiday purchasing and 1t be
hooves those who wish to purchase
wisely t. delay as little as possible.
"Shopplng", in the sense of looking
arourd', has already begun and the
wise ones have done part of their pur
chasing also while there is an opportunity
to choose carefully. AS the close of the
season approaches there will be rush
of the b lated ones and the chances OF
careful selection and economical buying
will become less.
The advertising columns of the Chron-
icie to-day show that up-tu-date mer-
chants have prepared for a large holiday
trade. There is money to buy with and
the people are IN a generous mood.
Those are facts that were kept in view
BY the dealers when stocking mp, hence
there is a variety as well rs quantity
provided. But with so much to choose
from, prudent selection requires more
time and the wisdom of early purchasing
is evident.

LATER MAIL DELIVERY WANTED.

There has been considerable dissatis
faction expressed with the recent change
In the afternoon mail delivery. BY the

Is 80 little time between the closing OF
chat mail and the departure of the train
on:which the mail comes, on very many
days the II o'clock morning New

fivered in Morristowon.
The following list shows the latest
hour of closing mails to be delivered in
Morristown the same afternoon Newark
IL. 10 Summit IL: 30 p. m. Chatham IL; %
Madison 1870. The reason for thu
change is the necessity of collecting the
letters from boxes in time for the out
going eastern mail. We have no dis
position to criticize the judgement Of
Post Master Clark, who is doing his
work admirably with the inadequate
staff at his disposal. But large npmber
Of our correspondents say the present
arrangement is serious Inconvenience to
many.
There is no reason whatever why a
post office like Morristown which nets
the Department about $685. year
should be so stinted in the size Of it's
staff as to cause delays in the delivery of
important mails.
A vigorous effort should be made to
obtain considerable increase IN the
staff at the post Office and we understand
chat many of the business men and mer
chants would gladly cooperate with the
postmaster in any movement to bring

AsBuRY PARK WILL BE IMPROVED

James A. Bradley, known as the
founder Of Asbury Park, has rendered
his resignation as mayor of that city,
which was accepted Resolutions of
regret were adopted by his colleagues.
A committee has been appointed
which will arrange with Mr.. Bradley
to purchase the beach front, park and
lakes. Tor which it is understood
$3.50, 900 will he paid. This also in
cludes the sewer system. 1t is report
ed that the committee which has been
appointed by the Common Council
will endeavor to purchase other land
of Mr.. Bradley.
1t is proposed to build casino on
the beach, and inaugurate other i'm
provements, which w II ulace Ashury
Park in more active competition with
Atlantic City. While the municipal
authority which has prevailed at AS
bury Park may be considerably
broadened, it is to be hoped that the
'wide open" policy which has done
much to make Atlantic City noto-
rious will not be followed

DEMOCRATIC EDITOR ON ROOSEVELT.

The Harrisburg, Pa, Patriot, a
prominent Democratic journal of the
Keystone state, has the courage of
its convictions as to President Roose-
Welt, judging from a leading editorial
which recently appeared in its col

However much we may disapprove
che public policies which he repre-
asnts, there can be in healthy minds
nothing but admiration for Theodore
Roosevelt as citizen and man.
What splendid contrast he presents
In his sturdy manhood, tireless ac-
fivity and lofty patriotism, to his
multi-millionaire kinsman, William
Waldorf Aston licking Alfred Ed
ward S boots and whining that Amer
lea is not tit place for gentleman
TO live I'M If any better specimen Of
American manhood exists than the
sentiago rough rider, the chief mag
istrate of seventy-fiv million people,
he has not yet come to the front.
The texture Of his mind is remark
able, His mental growth since he
came to the presidency is phenomenal
He has risen to every occasion, has
never failed to acquit himself not
only with credit, but with distinc-
tion.
In his democratic simplicity, hearty

We are all proud of this true gentle
man; glad to do him honor. The pity

liberty. equality and justice, has not
