The bill to be introduced in
the Legislature to provide local
option and renew the excise board
will put the matter of licenses in the
hand of the individual committees,
and the vote of any town or village
will settle the question whether de-
clsion shall be issued to sell spurious
liquors. Upon application of one
fourth the numbers of voters, the bill
provides that the Judge of the Su-
preme Court shall call an election to
decide whether the community shall
have licenses. Taking orders for de-
livering of liquors at houses will be
considered an attempt to evade the
law, but drug stores will be allowed
to fill physicians descriptions requir-
ing the use of spirits.

STARVATION In SWEDEN.
About Seventy Thousand People Are
Facing Death From Famine.

About Seventy Thousand People Are
Facing Death From Famine.
London, Jan. 10. = kilograms from
Stockholm, Sweden, confirm the dis
tressing accounts of the famine in
northern Sweden, as given in these
dispatches. About 10000 persons are
affected by the famine, which extends
from the sixty-first to the sixty-seventh
degree north latitude and from the
gulf of Bothnia and the Russian border
far into the interior. The starving
people are eating pine bark, which is
dried, ground to powder, mixed with
stewed Iceland moss and made into a
kind of famine bread.
Coincident with the failure of the
crops is the extreme scarcity of fish.
The fishermen return from their expe-
ditions empty handed. Even ptarmigan
grouse of the northern regions). usual
ly found in great numbers in the
stricken district, have almost complete
ly disappeared.
1t Is estimated that the expenditure
of about $6,300,000 will be necessary to
save the population from defamation.
Thus far about 100000 has been sub
scribed, of which sum over $12,5OO was
sent by Swedes in the United States.
This amount does not include the mon
ey necessary to save the breed of cat
tie, which alone can live through an
arctic winter or supply seed for the
spring sowings.

EXCISE QUESTION IN pAssAIc.


Commenting on the Excise question in
Passaic, the News of that city aptly
says:
"We would point out, however, an
error into which we feel that Passaic
has fallen. Tnis is in limiting the num-
Der of saloons. In this respect we are
aware that our views do not coincide
with those of all our readers. After all,
II is matter for the future to determine
and cert4inly no harm has been done
as yet. But we now consider it unwise
TO limit the number of saloons W.
have heretofore stated our objections.
We have raised the license fee from $3.50
to 1901. and we have strictly limited the
number of saloons so that for mum Der
Of years there can be no increase. There
are saloons enough in Passaic in all
conscience, but by placing limit we
have made every license worth not only
$500. but several times that sum. In
chs way, it will be found, the saloon
business of this city will one day become
a most difficult problem to handle IN
corruptly. 1t would be better to place
the license at a still higher sum and
allow any properly qualified man who
wants license to have it.
This, of course, would be really
worse for the saloonmen than the present
measure, which is really the best thing
that could have happened for them. But
it would be more in the spirit of true
excise reform. So long as the number
of saloons is limited. the advocates of
excise reform in this city will be open to
the accusations of the opposition that the
whole measure was devised and is being
maintained ror re, enue only.

PERMITS LICENSE FEE FOR POLES
AND WIRES.

A case Of great interest to boroughs
and to telegraph, telephone, electric and
trolley companies has been decided in
the United States supreme court at
Washington when decision was handed
down confirming the right of the bor-
ough of New Hope, near Lambertville to
impose license fee upon the poles and
wires of the Western Union Telegraph
Company.
The decision of the su oreme court,
which was reached within four years
after suit was fest brought before the
courts of Bucks county, will affect a
vast number of boroughs, because il
permits them TO collect license fee for
the poles and wires of corporations doing
business in the boroughs.

sylvania providing for the granting of
licenses and permits to firms, corpor-
ations, master plumbers and journey
men authorizing them to carry on the
business of plumbing and to appoint a

GOVERNOR MURPHY'S MESSAGE
PRACTICAL AND OPPORTUNE


The message of Governor Murphy Is
well worth the careful consideration OF
all Jerseymen. 1t is model OF orevlty'
conciseuess aud directntss-just such
document AS might BIZ ex ected from
one who has given the State a thorough
business administration from his hrst
inception into Office.
He is of the opinion that the laws OF
New Jersey concerning corporations are
fair alike to property and people. Trusts
are few in number and there is ap
parently no need of changing the present
statutes governing them.
The Governor says concerning some
of the moro important matters should
the Legislature pass bill pro-
viding for state aid in the building OF
trunk sewer system from Paterson to
Newark B Ay it will be signed.
He favors the measure to be reported
to the Legislltu by the commission on
Primary Elect ms
Voting machines are approved and the
L. glslalure is urged to spend sou 00O
for the purchase of machines for the
whole state: repairs and additional
machines to be provided by the counties.
The abolishment of the fee system in
all county offices. The laborer is worthy
of his hire" says the Governor, "but
one laborer is not worthy the hire of two
or three"
Child labor is condemned and the
Legislature is urged to change the legal
age for the emp oyment of boys from
twelve to fourteen years.
The Governor approves the suggestion
made by the Commission on The Hospital
for the Consumptive Poor" leaving the
amount appropriated to be decided by
the Legislature.
AS the state has several cities in
which the tenement house is becoming
an important problem, the Governor
urges the appointment of commission
to investigate the subject of tenement
house reform.
The Legislature is asked to pass law
requiring those who wish to manage an
automobile to pass an examination, and
limiting the speed by refusing to allow
any automobile in the state geared to
run more than fifteen miles an hour.
The Governor recommends the separ-
ate consideration of the extension of the
State House grounds and the needs of an
executive mansion.
Prompt action upon the Judiciary
Constitutional Amendments is urged.
The recomme ndations of the chief
executive will involve almost one
million dollars.

Vice Chancellor Stevenson has filed
his opinion in the suit of John Ill.
ingsworth and VIM. Robotham, Of
Newark, to enjoin the plan of merg-
ing the Prudential Insurance and
Fidelity Trust companies, which has
since been abandoned, with the CLERK
of Chanoery.
IF the acquisition of the Fidelity
stock by the Prudential Company,
the opinion reads, "can be regarded
as a purchase within the meaning of
the statute, it is still, think, subject
to fatal objection. 1t is not an in
vestment of the capital, surplus OF

fashioned snow storm. The mercury,
however, began to climb and in the
afternoon the snow turned into rain,

broke through the clouds. In the
mean time nasty wind had arisen
and the walks we're soon mass of
slush and water, with a foundation of
ice. Monday morning it was almost
impossible to walk, unless one was
fortunate enough to possess creepers
or rubbers, while horses were down
in every direction. A forty mile wind
prevailed during the day, with the
thermometer ranging from IA degrees
at Z o'clock to ten degrees at sunset.

YEs-AFTER ALL.

Well after all the newspapers like
Vice Chancellor Pitney very well in
spite of the fact that he roasts them
and serves them up with pepper sauce
SO often.
They know that the bark of the vet
eran jurist is worse than his. bite,
and that, despite his irrascibility, his
head is generally level and his heart
always in the right place.
1t would, indeed, be unfortunate il
the newspapers had such bad opinion
of Mr.. Pitney as he sometimes thinks
he has of them. Paterson Press.

Congressman Parker of this State,
has introduced bill for restoration
of the army canteen. Here is repre-
sentative who had the courage of his
convictions, and he will have the en-
dorsement of all who have in any
manner investigated the subject. The
abolition of the canteen in the first
place was one of the greatest mistakes
ever made, through the we'll meant
but altogether misguided efforts of
the good ladies composing the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Parker
will push this measure and that it
will become q law. 1t should have
the encouragement of everybod who
really has the cause of temperance
and morality in the army at heart.
