speed at which trains pass over this
crossing in approaching the depot.
The business houses Of the city
could with an application of paint
and judicious expenditure Of a
few dollars add much to the beauty
of the town. They could also
help the Street Committee by
sweeping the dirt from their stores
out of rear doors in lieu of the
front ones. The park, too, needs
care and attention. One of the
worst features of several streets is
the condition of crosswalks. In
many cases these abruptly project
above the street surface to such an
extent that wise driver will slow
down to a walk before passing over
them. There are many other small
annoyances, which perhaps are the
common lot of all municipalities,
but they should all be given atten-

The delightful frequency with

The delightful frequency with
which the Hon James Smith, Jr.
is breaking into print suggests
that the democratic nomination for
Governor might be received by
him with blushing assent. The
Hon. Jim assents that Mr.. Cleve-
land is the man upon whom the
mantle of Mr.. Bryan as National
leader should fall and naively in
sinuates that there are others in
honored retirement" who will
"fll every essential necessary"
for State Leadership. The Hon,
Jim Jr. evidently has not seen the
smile that illuminates Senator
Martins features every time the
Gubernatorial nomination is men
toned. The Sussex senator is
said not to be a candidate, but is a
high grade patriot and will moi
fail to heed the call to duty.

Says Judge vreeland WIN Get 1t.

Says Judge vreeland VIII Get 1t.
A Republican of Statewide reputa-
tion and influence, who has peculiar
facilities for getting information from
the inner party circles, said Saturday,
that, while he was sure of nothing but
death and taxation" he would be
willing to risk something handsome
upon the statement that ex-County
Judge John B. Vreeland, of Morris
town, would be the successor of David
o. Watkins as United States District
Attorney. He had within twenty-four
hours met United States Senator Kean,
and is one of the latter's close friends,
and he said that, although the United
States District Attorney matter had
not been discussed at this meeting, his
belief still held good that Judge Vree-
land would be the man. Mr.. Vreeland's IS
successor as county judge was ap-
pointed by Governor Murphy few
weeks ago. From 1896 to 1898 Judge
Vreeland was the senator from Morris
county.-The Tribune.

Carries Heavy Insurance.

l.. Rodman Wanamaker, son of
John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia,
is probably insured for a greater
amount than any man in the world
with the exception of King Edward
VII. The Prudential Insurance
Company through its Philadelphia
agents has just issued a policy to him
for one million dollars. The premium
on the insurance is over $30, 900 year.
Mr.. Wanamaker carries policies for
two millions Of dollars. His father
John Wanamaker, carries insurance
to the amount of one and a half
millions. John M. Mack, who carried
a S250,00O policy, recently added a

men of Morristown were given an
appropriation sufficient to permit of
a big parade and gala firemen's

are indebted to other localities for

matter of local pride to permit them

The golfng season in this section
is upon us and daily at the Morris
County Golf Club and at the Nor
ristown Field Club may be heard
the mellifluous "fore" of the wo-
man devotee, while the male en-
thusiast occasionally gleefully re-
marks two up or mournfully
confesses to 1.-TWO down. The
brassie, cleek and lofter are driving
the alternating indoor germs from
the system and dusky-white features
begotten of too close attention to
social demands will soon give way
to the ruddy and rosy glow of high
spirits and good health. Golf is
practically what the player desires
to make it, and therein lies one of
its greatest charms. If one is in
search of the strenuous. it may be
found in golf, for there is practi-
cally no limit to the amount of
physical and mental effort one may
put into the game. If mild diver
sion is desired it may be so played
as to produce that result. There is
no time limit to it and you are al
ways in position to stop when you
please while playing the game. 1t
is great in its medicinal qualities,
wonderful in its development of ex-
preston, tantalizingly attractive as
an aide to Cupid. Then here's to

led in his search for health or

Camden,s Modest Claim

1t was not entirely, though to a
great extent, as the Newark Adver-
tiser contends, "only the masterful
personality of Senator Sewell that
for so many years made the town of
Camden the headquarters Of the
Republican party in New Jersey, and
that is no more. The party tail no
longer wags the party dog" Cam
den was the headquarters, and will
continue to be so, because it is the
central point of the ten reliable,
tried and true Republican counties
OF the state of New Jersey, and that
can at all times be relied upon, which
is more than can be said of Essex In

Miscegenation is an undesirable
condition, but it is not an unlaw-
full one. When Harry Hide
brandt, white man of Mendham,
married Clara Van Dunk, a color
ed girl of this city, last Tuesday,
he moved the small boys of the
neighborhood to wrath. This
manifested itself in jeers and misses
as the couple left the chapel door
on their way to their home. In
mild degree the act aroused the
resentment which in some climes
results in lynchings. There seems
to be no disputing the fact that
race prejudice is one of those
conditions which can never be
wiped out. The colored person
may be given the right to vote, OF
to hold office, but when 1t comes
to social recognition, or the Civ
ing and taking in marriage by
whites, the mind of the great
majority of whites will not per
NIT the suggestion of equality
despite the preaching of many
ministers of the gospel who aver
that except for education the
black is the equal of the white.
The contention of the minister
may be true, but it will be hard
to make the white man accept

While human nature is consti-
tuted as it is, there will be diff
ferences of opinion. AS long as
there are such differences men will
be found to give them voice. No
one man or set of men interested in
the management of political party,
or for that matter in any other
enterprise with which considera-
BILE number of people are connected,
can ever hope to SO conduct affairs
that everyone will be satisfied.
These differences add zest to life
and should serve to increase the
interest taken in the management
of such matters. They really are
not detriments, though they some
times have that appearance and are
often temporary annoyances. If
the criticisms are just they have
served a good purpose. If they are
merely the outgrowth of selfish
disappointment they should pass
away with the first pleasant breeze
that blows. Pleasures are transient
Why also should not disappoint-
ments be?
There are persons who are loudly
protesting against the judgment of
the party leaders which brought
about a condition in Morristown
that will make of the coming spring
election a ratifi C tion meeting
rather than well-defned political
fight. There are democrats who
are certain they could have elected
one of their color freeholder in one
or the other of the republican
wards. There are republicans who
are positive that they could have
Increased the republican majority
in the board by naming for free
holder a man of their political faith
in the Second and Fourth Wards.
These are merely opinions, but they
are expressed with a confidence that
almost carries conviction to a mind
not we'll versed in the art of manipu
latiug conventions and elections.
1t is usually wise to rely on the
opinions of skilled men in matters
of which one has but a surface
knowledge. This year Morristown
may congratulate itself on the pros
poets of a peaceful, pleasant cleo
ton day. The men who will be
elected to Office are already known.
There is no uncertainty, except i'll
case of few minor officers, as to Just
who will have charge of affairs.
There are no criticisms except those
begotten Of spite or personal dis
appointment of the men the
leaders have selected-and primaries
rati6ed-for political preferment.
There is strong probability that
the results would have been the
same even though a fight had been
made in each ward of the city.

No Race war.

No race war is to be precipitated in
New Jersey as result of the action
of the boys in Bridgeton glass fac

lads were given employment. That
kind of a race problem is one that
can be solved without the aid of
statesmen or reformers. The ap-
plication of the rod, welded by
parental authority, will do the bust
ness thoroughly, even though it does
draw the black and blue color line
distinctly.-Newark News.

would and could take care of such city
improvements that will result in the
general good of the town. A club of
fifty members would raise sum suffi-
cient to meet such matters as lighting
the Capital dome without much cost
to any member. An assessment of
fifty cents would do the work and
leave sumon hand at all time. A
movement of this kind would do more
permenent good to this city than half
a dozen carnlvals and would leave
a mark behind that would be an incen-
tive to further improvements This
should be attended to while the elec-
trio light people have a working force
in this city
In talking over theproject with mem
bers of the electro company they state
they will do their share and give a
satisfactory rate. Should the people
Of this city wake up sufficiently to
handle a few new enterprises, it will

done the way Of making Carson look
better to her people and the world in
general.
