The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1903-05-22

The report Of the special commit
tee appointed by the executive com
mittee of the Friday Evening Club
made at the meeting held in the
Lyceum Friday evening is interest
ing and calls attention in detail to
the dangers which THE CHRONICLE
has pointed out in a general way
several times within the past few
weeks. 1t practically confines its
recommendations to alterations
which will serve to facilitate egress
in case of fire or accident. This is
all right and the effort to secure
these should meet with the support
of every person whose family or
friends are in the habit of pat
ronizing the Lyceum. 1t is
gratifying, too, to note that the
trustees of the building are meet
ing the recommendation of the
committee in spirit of liberal
ity and fairness. The improve
ments suggested in this report prob
ably will be made soon. But these
do not go far enough. The same
sentiment which is behind the move
ment for better exit equipment
should exert itself to secure better
stage accommodations. Morristown
with its thousands of people is not,
and should not be, content with its
present playhouse. The class of
road attractions which made stops
here during the past season is not
up to the standard which Morristown
is entitled to have. There is large
play-going element here. If the
present theatre is not put in shape
so that good attractions may be pre-
sented, the ball should be set in
motion for new theatre.

The Manila Times, a newspape r

of present Philippine feeling toward

HIGH TIME TO BE GOOD.

With the announcement from the
Department of Justice of it's intentions
to put illegal combines and trusts on
footing OF moonshiners and counterfeit
ers, says an exchange, it is inevitable
that the reflection that it is high time
to be good will come to Mr.. Morgan,
and even James j. Hill may be amen
able to the influence of this salutary
reflection. Trusts are not disposed to
look on restraining orders with the
feeling of the East Indian for his idol
knowing it to be ugly. but fearing it
as great-but they Immediately start
their eminent council to ..working on
other lines" and even a stout fine has
no particular terrors for them.
But to be .'stood up'' in the dock,
indicted for violation of law, compel
led to walk up to the bar and plead
not guilty and have a jury of honest
farmers pass upon the question, with a
Jail sentence in the neigh borhood,
would be just too narrowing to the
feelings. But the narrowing will
come to pass unless illegal combines
and trusts restraining trade and COM
petition come to the conclusion that
this is a good time to call a halt and
acknowledge that Uncle Sam is some
thing on the solar. plexus, himself,
when he gets good and ready. Of
course, If the mergerites and the com
Diners and the restrainers conclude to
try few more bouts with Uncle Sam,
before quitting for good. all they will
have to do will be to refuse to waltz
up to the captains Office when the horn
blows-and the. wisdom will come to
them later.

The reopening of the Dreyfus case
may prove a blessing in disguise for
France, SO long cursed by an obnox-
ious militarism.. It is well known by
the world at large that Dreyfus was
innocent of the crime of selling French
secrets to the Germans, and that the
guilty parties were in higher quarters.
Yet it is possible that this will lead to
eventual supremacy of civil power
