"FATHER OF GOOD ROADS,

Joseph Park senior member of the firm of Park

years. Of the largest individual owners OF
land in Westchester County. He is said TO have
owned three thousand OF the finest land in
Harrison and Rye. and TO have paid more taxes

Park had love for developing and improving land
and building roads, similar to that which other
wealthy men have for giving libraries and endow-
ing educational institutions and churches 1t IS
said of him that he did more than any other man

Mr. Park began years ago to build roads near
his large house the Boston Post Road in Har-
rison. Their construction successful that
in a short time 1t became easy TO tell where his
land began and where it ended. Finding that the
people appreciated his efforts. Mr.. Park began to
improve the drives in other paTts of the towns
until they unrivalled for excellence any
where in the State. with the exception OF those IN
the public parks. Mr. Park built the roads princl-
pally Of buestone He owned a pier at the Port
Chester Harbor, and for several years he kept
teams busy al his own expense. hauling materials
and distributing them the drives in Rye and
Harrison.
In a conversation with friend few years ago
he stated that he had that time spent S1oaeoo in
improving the highways and erecting drinking

Chief Justice Gummere is expected to appoint
this week a successor to +. NJ Shepard IN the
Essex County Park Commission. 1t is. of course.
assumed that Mr.. Shepard will not be reap
pointed. The people of Essex County are spend
ing money generously to create park system,
and they have right to insist that men in COM
pete harmony with their views shall have the
supervision of the work. The place now raining
vacant is regarded belonging to the oranges
and already the energetic citizens of that dlS-
trict are bestirring themselves in the matter
of helping the Chief Justice to wise and popu-
lar choice.
There was first a disposition to boom solely
for the place Frederick w Kelsey, who was
formerly a member of the commission. More
mature reflection, however. convinced those who
are interested in bringing the parks up 10 the
highest standard that it would not be exactly
fair or courteous to Chief Justice Gummere 10
put only one name before him. Acting on tnat
feeling thev have presented five naRles Mr.
Kelsey heads the list, followed by Frank H.
Scott Harry T. Ambrose. Camillus G. kldder
and Alden Freeman All are men of the high
est standing, character and capacity. and 1t Is
not doubted that the Chief Justice will name one
of them. They precisely the kinds of per-
sons for whom the people would vote If the
opportunity presented itself.
The Essex Park Board needs some new blood
II requires an injection of the reawakened civic
spirit which is manifesting itself in the Oranges
nowadays, and the Chief Justice, as a citizen
and taxpayer Of Essex. do his share by ap-
pointing a commissioner from that list The
parks there were not designed to benefit real
estate spectators nor to help the Trolley Trust.
The scheme as originally laid out by Frederick
L. Olmsted was an adnira BILE one, and the time
has arrived to take vigorous measures to pre-
vent it's frustrati tion County boulevards were
not built at the public expense in the interest of
the trolley syndicate, and the Park Commits
sioners and their advisers cannot keep this too
vividly in mind
Supposing that the people of Newark or It's
suburbs did not like the trolley merger now
pending. and believed it to conflict with the
laws of the State, would Attorney General NC
Carter be expected to attack the merger in the
courts?
Newark's Police Board ought to be turned out
peremptorily, if the commissioners do not kno"
enough to resign. The legislature would prop
a blv help And by the way Mayor Doremus
understands that when it comes to appointing
the new commissioners the standard must be
higher than it has been for years.
There is no need for the legislature to tie itself

lar business at the special session next week

LECTURES ON RACE QUESTION.
DR.. Adler to Give Half His Time to Ethical
Culture Society Hereafter.

DR. Felix Adler OF Columbia University lectured
Yesterday I'm Carnegie Hall "A Modern Inter
probation of Easter He expressed pleasure In
occupying the platform before the Newly ork So
ciety for Ethical Culture after absence of ten
weeks and said that, much as he liked his
present work he hoped to be permitted hereafter
to give half OF his time the university and half
the ethical society.
In touching the question as an llustTa-
ton Of point, DR.. Adler said:
There are two extreme parties in this question

ercise all privileges ana functions; the other side

the intermediate position the best. We must place
ourselves In the position of our southern Fellow
citizens before being harsh in our judgment

Humanity should be gauged by the unQuenChap Die
spiritual possibilities. There very few men III
the world who be taken at their face value.
If take this view will be sensible. Let US
take fostering attitude toward the colored race

day The great wrong is to submerge the individual
in the mass. Prejudice is prejudgment before we
look into matter Judge a man on his own
merits not on the crowd you find him In.
Potential goodness may also be applied to the
labor question. which is getting troublesome. 1t
is discoiraging and disheartening to hear a man
who is looked upon as a moral example sing the
praises of force that with which 10 settle the
labor question. TiS miserable to hear the doctrine
of force preached to-day. when there is quite too
much force used as things are.
We often men who seem outwardly hard,
governed by greed and ambition. but closer ac-
Quaintance prove TO have hearts of kindness and
consideration. 1t is our fault that We do not see
humanity at better advantage.

TO HAVE CAPITAL OF $4,000, ,OOO
Big Trolley Combine" May Eventually
Take in Ali Jersey Lines.

4 plan for the merger of New-Jersey trolley
and electric light companies will be submitted
to meetings of directors of the five companies
interested at Jersey City and Newark to-day.
company to be organized with a. capital Of
$50, 100000 is to take over the North Jersey
Street Railway Company, the Jersey City
Hoboken and Paterson Street Railway Com
pany, the Elizabeth PIanfeld and Central Jer-
sey Railroad Company; the Orange and Passatc
Valley Railroad Company, and the United Elec-
trio Company of New-Jersey, if the directors
accept the terms, and it is understood that they
will.
The offer is to pay for the stock of the com
panies in stock Of the new company. according
to one of the leaders in the deal, follows: For
North Jersey, 10: Jersey City, Hoboken and Pat
erson. 80; Central Jersey and Passaic Valley, 30
each and 30 also for the United Electric stock,
and to pay per cent dividend on the stock of
the company the first year, adding one-half
of l per cent each year until the dividend is 8
per cent year. The Fidelity Trust Company of
Newark, il is said. will finance the deal and
guarantee the payment of dividends for five
years.
1t is declared that the company will raise
S1oOOOOO for improving the plants and for
other purposes The price to be paid for the
stock of each company is several points above
the market quotations last week. 1t is under
stood that the power behind the new company
contemplates taking in all the trolley. electric
light and gas companies in New-Jersey in the
future, and that if such deal goes through
the capital stock of the company will exceed
So0.O00Ol0.
The subcommittee of three of the committee
of six appointed several weeks ago at a union
meeting of the North Jersey, the Jersey City,
Hoboken and Paterson and Orange and Passaic
Valley, to consider offer by Thomas Nevins
to lease the roads for 999 years and put up
S50OO,GOO in cash, reported to the full committee
last Thursday in Jersey City against Nevins's
offer, and submitted a proposition from the FL
deity Trust Company of Newark, embodying
the present merger plan. The proposition
approved by the full committee The details
are kept secret. The first idea for hold
ing company, but this abandoned in favor
of an organization TO buy the stock Of the
panies
The powerful financial concerns behind the
merger scheme are the Prudential Insurance
Company, the United Gas Improvement Com
pany Of Philadelphia with the Fidelity Trust
Company and possibly the Equita bic Life Assur-
ance Society of this city and it's allied interests
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is largely
interested in New-Jersey trolley companies, A J
