an Everlasting Benefit and is Badly Needed

The following letter was received
at the Evening News office this morn
ing:
Editor Evening News
Perth Amboy.
"Dear Sir:
Enclosed please find my check
amounting to $40 which l wish to
donate to the Hospital Fund.
This is a very worthy cause and
one to which every citizen should
cheerfully respond
Yours truly,
@. @. Baldwin" "
1915 '03
The hospital is worthy cause and
there is no doubt as to the people g
support. This fund is being raised
through voluntary subscriptions to
build a morgue and reception room at
the institution. At the meeting of
the Board of Governors last week it
was stated that sometimes it was
necessary to place dead body in a
ward where there are sick patients
because there was no other place.
This, as has already been said, should
not be, as sick room should be kept
as free as possible from all thoughts
of death.
At the present time there is no
room in which to place patient away
from the others until the nature of
the disease is ascer tanned. This is
running q great risk. A reception
room is place, which, while neat and
comfortable, oan, i'll case patient
had contagious disease, be scrubbed
from top to bottom and thoroughly
disinfected before another one is
brought in. The necessity of such a
place IN hospital tal readily be seen.
The local hospital has neither of
these. 1t needs them. They are abb
solutely essential to the proper care
of patients. The hospital has demon
strated its value many times. 1t is
sustained by the people. All the
money that can be raised by fairs and
festivals is needed for running ex-
penses. The hospital has no rich per-
son backing it. 1t needs must be
furnished by the small contributions
of the wage earners of this city, who
take just pride in the institution.
President S. r. Harrington has en-
dorsed the movement to raise a fund
for this purpose. Any amount is
acceptable. Following are the con-
tributions thus far:

KIMMEL'S FINE FARM,

Hon. w. c. Kimmel, who was re-
Gently nominated for state senator
from the Forty ninth district, is of the
Roosevelt persuasion, and is certainly
an exponent of the anti-suicide race
theory. He is like a patriarch of old,
having many sons and daughters, and
flocks and heads to boot. There is
pleasure in looking over the well kept
farm of the prosperous farmer. The
writer had the privilege OF riding over
the fine half section farm of Hon. w.
&C.. Kimmel, two miles northwest of
Sheldon, Wednesday morning. The
whole farm is fenced so as to be hog
tight. Ten acres of fine grove surround
the building spot. There are barns,
erainaries, and plenty of water. pump
cd with a windmill Mr.. Kimmel Is a
stockman of more than ordinary sue
cess. He has about forty head Of
Galloway cattle that rank with the
best the country affords. He has a
herd of $50 full blooded Poland Chinas.
Resides his fine herds of hogs and cattle
he has lot of extra fine horses. lie
above all other men should be happy.
BETTER than all else he has family OF
bright girls. and boys, nine all told, who
know how to work so as to make things
count for exchequer. 1t goes without
saving that Mr.. Kimmel is for Roose-
yelt in domestic as well as in admins
trative politics.

PRAYER AND POTATOES.
ICouncil Bluffs Nonpareil.l

Burrell, of the Washington Press,
lief in the efficacy of prayer. He de-
clares that because DR.. Storms made a
prayer at the republican convention,
which was at once a sermon, poem,
and text book of oratory, and rhetor-
ic, he received his election as president
of Ames.
This may all be true, but we doubt
it. We can't see just where the etli-
cacy of prayer comes in at an agricul-
tural school, now that the rainnaking
business has been thoroughly Develop
ed. There may be cases where prayer,
aided by a good stout inch board. have
moved q pair of mules against their
wills. but they are mighty scarce.
Some people may be able to use prayer
instead of the old fashioned decorating
cuss word, in blowing the stoy field
where the plow handles hook into the
Flowers ribs, every ten feet, but it
would be almost useless to teach the
art. ard we have yet to hear of the
first case where prayer has been sue
cessfully employed in cornering a pig.
Prayer is highly desirable on the farm
as it is everywhere, but when applied
to the technical details Of agriculture,
it can't hold a candle to profanity.
There were doubtless good reasons
for choosing the Rev. Mr.. Storms, but
we doubt if that prayer had much to
do with it.

SUCCESSFUL STREET FAIRS.

The Clinton Heral reproduces what
the Gate City said about street fairs
and adds that If any community has
rowdyism at its street fair it is the
fault of the city. officials or of those
who have the fair In charge. Clinton
had street fair. and the Herald says
that it was conducted as orderly as a
Sunday school picnic: that there was
no gambling in the city, no carousing.
no debauchery. and that there was not
an immoral show either within or out
side the city limits. The same paper
makes this additional statement:
THE street fair is exactly what the
community makes it. 1t can be a
week of rowdyism or debauchery, or a
week of clean sport. Clinton chose the
latter and the carnival held there was
credit to the city from every stand
point"
The Gate City is glad to note that an
other Iowa city has had the same ex-
perience as Keokuk. The lesson to be
deduced is that to make street fairs
successful they must be kept from i'm
morality and rowdyism. The odium
that attaches to most street fairs is
a logical and deserved penalty. The
Keokuk and Clinton fairs are excep-
lions to such institutions as they are
usually conducted.

ruF oveR STRAIN IN OUR SCHOOLS.

Stirred by the structures OF the press
which has been commenting unfaNoia-
bly upon the strenuous character Oh 'he
nnhlic school system ]. Russell Par-
sons. secretary of the board of regents
in the state of New York. has coitectea
much statistical information bearing
1,non oyerwork in the schools. AS re-
sult of his investigation Mr.. Parsons
expresses the emphatic opinion that no
such excessive strain exists ana that
the statements of enervation and Ill
health among school children as the
result of overwork in the schools are
without foundation.
The average high school in his state
spends seven hours and twenty-four
minutes each school day In recitation
and In preparation for recitation ana
an average of two hours and seventeen
minutes on other work, making a. total
of nine hours and forts-one minutes.
The results do not vary greatly in the
different schools. Inc average iAuiiioS'

ags high school student rises at $40 IN
the morning and retires at 9:44 in the
evening. thus having nine hours ios

mort that they sleep well and rise re-
ireshed. Deducting the nine hours ana

Non as inclination and opportunity may

Indicate that the few cases of extreme

THE GROWTH OF TROLLEY SYSTEMS.

The census bulletin recently issued
containing the statistics of city and
electric railways shows the astonishing
totals of 22,oS9 miles of trolley lines in
operation with capital stock amounting
to nearly one and one-third billion dol
year s247,553,999. and operating ex-
penses were s142,312,597. They en-
ployed. exclusive of clerks and salaried
officials, 1854 persons, operated co.
go passenger cars and carried 4,S09,-
55443S fare paying passengers. OF
these 22,5S9 miles of trackage, but 259
miles were operated by animal power.
About $40 miles were run b. cable in
1902, as against 4SS miles in 1890. About
two thirds of the trackage of 1902 is
inside of city limits, the remaining
third being suburban or rural. The
business is carried on by $40 different
companies, of which twenty-five oper-
ate lines of over 100 miles of track each
Three quarters OF the cnmpa MES, how
| ever, operate lines of twenty miles or
less. In 1890 the average length OF line
per operating company was IA miles,
while the average of 1902 was 20.3S
miles. The report of 1890 shows only
about 5000 miles of such lines in the,
United States. of which but 1,262 miles
were operated by electricity and 1861
miles by horse power. The gain in mile
age and the almost universal substi"
tuition Of electricity for animal power
that have taken place within twelv@
years is most marked and significant oil
the progress made in this line of tran"
sit and TRANSFORMATION.
This substitution and ether improve
lments have had their effect upon oper-
