Assistant State Superintendent of
Schools ]. Brognard Belts ad-
dressed the Teachers Institute held
in this city last Friday afternoon.
His subject was the new school law.
He declared that this affected Nor
ristown and Long Branch seriously
and said that he did not think they
(the Supreme Court Judges un-
derstood just what they meant
when they declared the old law un-
constitutional. Mr.. Belts gave
quite an exhaustive dissertation on
his connection with the school com
mission and the connection of the
school commission with the school
laws but he omitted entirely to
explain way out of the trouble
for Morristown and Long Branch,
or to even suggest any alleviatior
for either town.

Considerable adverse criticism has
been INDUCED in by the public gen
orally in regard to the apparent in
activity of the freeholders in repair
ing bridges destroyed by the late flood
There are always two sides to a story
and in defence of our Morris county
freeholders we desire to say that they
have realized the problem which con-
fronts them in the way of repairs to
roads and bridges and have been
strenuous in their efforts to bring
about normal condition of affairs
pertaining thereto. They have sought
the cooperation of the Passaic county
freeholders and failing in this have
been equal to the occasion by erecting
temporary bridges and so have kept
the highways open to the best of their
ability. Butler Press.

on the part of those in a position to
subscribe to such series of concerts
to neglect to do so. Particularly as
while residents of Morristown are
noted for their great interest and pro-
ficiency in golf, bridge whist horse
shows, and other social diversions,
they are sometimes criticised as being
found wanting in musical accomplish
ments, and with perhaps too much
apathy in regard to encouraging the
younger portion of the community to
acquire a taste for good music and the
ability TO become good judges of it.

DR.. w. N. Hailman, in an ad-
dress on Common Sense in Edu-
cation before the Teachers Insti-
tute in this city last week, spoke
very decidedly in favor of the one
session-a-day plan for schools. DIR.
Hailman is an educator who is
abreast with the times, and his
opinions on this subject are backed
with years of valuable experience,
particularly in connection with
Indian schools, in which the single
session plan has brought such re-
markable results.
1t is to be expected that any
policy which looks to the cutting
down of the working hours of the
school teacher should meet with
tardy approval from the business
class of people; but when we are
confronted with the fact that the
mature and trained minds of great
students and literary men are in
capable of more than three or four
hours of consecutive mental work,
we cannot help feeling that to keep
young pupils at their desks from
five to six hours day in crowded
schoolroom, may not be the best
way to develop their mental powers.
What teacher has not discovered
that the mind of the average pupil
is much more active, the reasoning
powers more keen, and the mem
ory more retentive in the forenoon
Or what teacher has not experienced
that general dullness and stupidity
that pervades the whole room SC
often during the first hour after
dinner, and characterizes more OF
less the whole afternoon session
The single session is rapidly
gaining favor, as our people are
coming more and more to realize
that it is demanded in the interests
of the physical and mental health
of their children.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

By the President of the United States OF
America
A PROCLAMATION.
The season is at hand when, according to
the custom of our people, it falls upon the
President to appoint day of praise and
thanksgiving to God
Daring the last year the Lord has dealt
bountifully with us giving Jus peace at home
and abroad, and the chance for our citizens to
work for their welfare, unhndered by war,
famine or oligue. 1t behooves US not only to
rejoice greatly because Of what has been given
us, but TO acce ii it with solemn sense of re-
sponsi olity, realizing that under heaven IT
rests with Us ourselves to show that we are
worthy to use Alright what has been intrusted
TO our care. In no other place and at no other
time has the experiment of the government by
the people been tried on such a scale rs in our
own country in the opening years of the twen-
tieth century Failure would not only be a
dreadful thing for u.s. but dreadful thing for
all mankind, because it would mean loss of
hope for all who believe in the power and the
righteousness of liberty. Therefore, in thank
ing God for the mercies extended to us in the
past, we beseech him that he will hold them in
the future, and that our hearts may be aroused
TO war steadfastly for good and against all the
forces of evil, public and private. We pray for
strength and light, so that in the coming years
we may with cleanliness, fearlessness and wis
dom do our allotted work on the earth in such
manner as to show that we are not altogether
unworthy of the blessings we have received.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States, do hereby desig-
nate day of general thanksgiving Thurs.
day, the twenty sixth Of the coming Novem-
ber and do recommend tn Il throughout the
land people cease from their wonted occupa-
tions, and in their several homes and places of
worship render thanks unto Almighty @ I'd for
His manifold mercies
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this thirty
first day of October, in the year of our Lord

has been sued for $Io, 900 for what
may be termed over zealousness.
He had arrested two boys for killing
trout. When brought before the
justice they were discharged for
lack of evidence and now suit has
been brought for $4,000 for caus-
ing their arrest. Game Wardens
should do their full duty, but they

Fish and Game Warden Jones ol
Madison. Mr. Butera had pur-
chased two rabbits and was taking
them to a friend in Brooklyn.
This is against the law and Mr..
Butera was fined $40 for each rab-
bit. The Warden was right, the
justice was right. No one has any
right to take rabbit, dead or
alive, out of New Jersey. Our law
makers in their wisdom have said
so, The only legal way to take a
rabbit out of New Jersey is to first
eat it.

COlINltI'Q
Life

Ought, it would seem, to give exemption
from the diseases which prey upon the
residents of thickly populated cities.
But there is no exemption from disease,
and i'll the country, as in the city, one
may see the cheeks grow hollow and the
eyes grow dull while the frame wastes
away witn that terrible disease, con
sumption.
Weak lungs are made strong by the
use Of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery It cures obstinate and stubborn
coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs
and other symptoms which, if neglected
or unslillfully treated, terminate fatally
in consumption. The action of Golden
Medical Discovery in the curing of vast
ing diseases is entirely philosophic.
Emacation, and consequent loss of
weight, are among the most striking
symptoms of what are known as vast
ing diseases. The body is not being ade-
quately nourished, and the cause of this
lack of nourishment is not lack of food
but lack of ability in the stomach and
the other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton to prepare the food for the assimi1a-
ton and nutrition of the body. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures
diseases of the stomach and the organs
of digestion and nutrition, and so en-
ables the body to be nourished back to
strength i'll the only way by which
strength can come that is, by food per-
fectly digested and assimilated.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is temperance medicine. 1t contains
no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine or
any other narcotic.
Accept no substitute for Discovery"
There is nothing ojust as good " for .yoN,
though many things may pay the dealer
a larger profit.
