aOth Century Interstate Fair.

The management of the Inter State
Fair has always had it's eyes open for
new, novel and up to- date attractions,
but it had neither entered into nego-
tiations with nor had it the slightest
intention of booking the cyclone
which q couple of weeks ago played
tag with one of the handsome exhi-
bition buildings and chased it off
the grounds.
However Secretly Mahlon r. Mar
gerum has determined that even so
unusual a thing as a cyclone shall
not deter him from making the
Trenton Fair of 1909, September 80
and 80 and October /, 2, and the
biggest and best yet.
The exhibition space will rot be less
ened particle by the loss of one build
ing, other provisions having already
been made for the largely increased
list of agricultural, industrial and
domestic exhibits, for which pre-
miums to the amount of $50, 900 are
offered.
There are 20 races scheduled in the
speed department, and the entries
made thus far insure the very best
kind of racing each day at the
fair.
Especial attention has been given
this year to securing midway and
vaudeville features, an the bookings
made, assure the best performances
ever attempted by and outdoor amuss'
ment enterprise.
Fora headliner DiavoIo, the sensa-
tional rider of the century, who loops
the loop on bicycle, will do his act
every day of the fair.
Then Hutch, the human bursting
bomb, who has himself discharged
from a cannon into mid air, has also
been secured.
One of the newest acts to be put
before the sensation loving Ameri-
can people is that of the daring Dan
ton, who. enveloped in flames, dives
from great height into a pool of
water.
Also there might be mentioned
among the attractions Sapho, the ape
aeronaut; the Wormwoods' wonder
full trained dogs and monkeys, the
Yoscays from the Royal theatre, Ber-
| I'm; Moser, Houten and Mosker, from
the Royal Hipprodrome, London,
and lots Of others.

A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.

If Republicans should at any time
be at a loss for reasons for the faith
that is in them they can find them,
number unlimited the "Repub.
lioan Text Book for the Campaign OF
1909" recently issued by the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee.
The book is aptly prefaced with
these words of the lamented Nc
Kinley You do not have to guess
what the Republican party will do
The world knows its purposes. 1t has
embodied them in law and executed
them in administration. The
contents of the book afford ample
evidence of the truth of this deolara-
ton. 1t presents a magnificent
record of the recent achievements of
the Republican party and of the great
benefits which have flowed to the
people of the United States because it
purposes have been embodied in law
and executed in administration.
Under the head of g Protection
and Prosperity are presented facts
and figures which show how the
business of the country was rescued
from the depressing effects of Dem
ocratlc administration and brought
by the enactment of protective tariff
laws by Republican lawmakers and
officials to the highest state of
prosperity. The record of the coun-
try's business condition under Dem
ooratio Free Trade and Republican
Protection policies IS set forth in a
manner which shows the vast supe-
riority of the latter.
Under the head of Labor" the
records of the two parties are set
forth in detail, and again the aGvan
tage is greatly with the Republican,
which is shown not only to have in
creased the pay of the wage Garner, but
also to have enacted laws for his bene-
fit in manner which is not approach
ed by its rival, The subject of
"The Trusts" is exhaustively treated,
ana again III is mduS Cl6dT tllHb DOln
in the enactment of laws for their
regulation aud in their enforcement
the Republican party is entitled
to first place over it's rival. AN
interesting exposition is made in this
connection of the fact that trusts are
by no means indigenous to this ooun-
try or the product of it's protective
legislation as is so sedulously claim
ed by the Free Trade organs, but
that they abound in Great Britain,
the home of Free Trade.
The question of the Philippines is
discussed at length, and facts and
figures are adduced which afford
endorsement for the policy pursued
by the Republican National Ad-
ministration in regard to the islands.
The conduct of our army is de-
Tended and deserved tribute paid to
the men who sustained the authority

Under the caption Make the City
Attractive" the Orange Chronicle
says -
Orange may yet see the day when
most of it's sidewalks will be swept
clean and Their roads will be free of
scraps of paper and other rubbish.
That happy day is, however, still
far distant, Judging from the general
appearance Of the public streets now.
A particularly unsightly spot, which
ought not to be tolerated by the many
who pass it every day, is the corner
of Scotland street and Highland
avenue. Here a glaring billboard
faces close up to the sidewalk, and to
make matters worse the sidewalk be-
ing III front of no mans dwelling, is
suffered to go from one weeks end
to another without sweeping.
Added to this is the irregular condi-
tion of the flags, all combining to
make walking on that particular bit
of pavement anything but pleasure.
Commuters from large residential
area pass over this walk twice day
going to and from trains at Highland
avenue station, yet never murmur
is heard against the conditions Per-
haps they have grown 80 used to the
situation that they fail to realize 1t.
The trouble is with the Orange pro-
perty holders that they fail to get in
to the race for popularity with our
sister municipalities Citizens of
Orange need to remember that Oh
every side are growing, fourshing
communities which are in many ways
made more attractive to strangers
than Orange, and yet there is nc
more desirable place to live than in
this city This fact is not denied by
any one, but no concerted effort is
made by residents to impress it upon
outsides.. fs.f

The Morris County Board of AS
SCISSORS met in Freeholder's Hall on
Tuesday for the purpose of arrang-
ing assessments for the ensuing year.
Charles e. Cook of Madison was
elected chairman and @. M. Phillips
of Morristown secretary.
In Morristown the rate is 1.79 an
increase of two points over last years
rate. In 1900 the rate was 190 which
was reduced to LIT in 1901. The two
points increase was made necessary
by the fact that 50, 500 additional
had to be raised this year. In Morris
township two rates prevail One in
cludes the Morristown School Dis
trct in which the rate is 1.48 an In
crease of two points, in the town
ship proper the rate is |. 80 as against
81 last year. This is the lowest
rate in the county and yet there is no
township in Morris that can make
it's showing as to valuations. The
increase over last year in the town
ship valuations is $40, 600.

WOMEN AGAIN SET A GOOD EXAMPLE

WOMGGN AGAIN OF ! n 0OOO 6NAm FILE
1t may be after all that municipalities
and villages may have to wait until
women become interested in the sub
ject of cleaning the streets before that
fact is accomplished. Occasionally
streets become so Objectionable that
women through necessity take hold and
clean them up; the good work often
times becomes so thoroughly impressed
upon the authorities that their example
has been productive of good results.
The latest instance is in Paterson where
there was street that was extremely
dirty. The women of the vicinity called
a meeting at the house of d neighbor,
elected foreman, also woman, and in
short order the street was as clean as
the proverbal kitchen floor. Recepticals
for rubbish were placed on the street
and if some urchin bolder than the
others threw a piece of paper on the
street he was caught by some of the
women, made to pick it up and throw
it where it belonged.
The streets of Morristown frequ entity
yes very generally present an untidy APP
pearance, waste paper, hand bills and
filth of every description may be seen,
which a little care and attention on the
part of the street department would
obviate. The way TO keep streets clean
is to clean them and the work apple

COST 'MURPHY'S LIFE.
If the city escapes a costly law suit,
the result Of the death of John Murphy
in the Morris street culvert, on Monday
night, it will be fortunate.
The facts are that the culvert was
opened over a week before the accident,
under the direction of the Street Com
mittce. Heaps of dirt were thrown on
either side of the opening on the side
walk; empty barrels unweighted, with
an s inch board formed about the only
guard rail, while a single lantern was
the ouly warning passers-by at night
had of the danger which would result
from overstepping the slight protection.
A child could have easily pushed the
so called guards down. Pedestrians
using the walk were compelled 10 pass
around the excavation for days. There
was absolutely nothing done relative to
making repairs after the two days re-
auired to render the sidewalk over the
stream impossible until a mason was
instructed the day after the death of
Mr.. Murphy to attend to the work.
The street committee should have re-
moved all dirt at once, erected sub
stantial guard rail, and laid planks over
the opening at night. The entire ex-
pense and trouble would have amounted
to little or nothing AS it is the death
of veteran of two wars is attributable
to gross carelesness on the part of the
street committe of the Board of Alder
men.

For Congress, Fifth District:
CHARLES N. FOWLER,
OF UNION.
AN HONORABLE RECORD.

The attempt of the Washington,
N. J, Star to belittle the record OF
Congressman Fowler which appears
to meet with so much favor from the
other Democratic papers i'll the
Fifth District, will prove a boom.
erang to these papers and tc
the Democratic party. On thei1
own showing Mr. Fowler has beer
an exceptionally diligent and &C
tive member of Congress who has
been on duty for eight years with
only six days leave of absence and
whose work in Congress has caused
him to occupy prominent place III
the political history of the last
eight years. His efforts on behalf OF
sound money and currency re-
form won him the approval and the
votes of many Gold Democrats who
strange to say are now trying to run
the campaign of Congressman
Flanagan.
Congressman Fowler's financial
principles have not changed. Gan
ii be that the Gold Democrats are
selling their principles for a mess OF
pottage?
It is quite true that Congressman
Fowler's latest financial bill has not
as vet been passed. 1t is true that
those provisions of it which provide
for the establishment of branch banks
have not won the approval of many
bankers. But this is the only tinan
cial bill that in recent years has ha6
the approval of the House Committee
on Banking and Currency and just il
proportion as it's provisions are pt
coming known and understood it il
gaining public approval SO that i
may be reasonably expected that thu
bill with some slight amendments
will be passed at an early date.
Congressman Fowler's record as {
public man is one of which both HI
and his constituents have good reason
to be proud
