Gun club Men Indicted.

Charles w Davis, of Philadelphia,
and r. w. Harmed, Of Merchantyille,
members of the Riyerton Gun Club,
have been indicted by the Burlington
county grand jury for violating the
New Jersey anti-pigeon law. Messrs,
Davis and Harmed were chosen by the
club, as it were, as the martyrs by
whom the constitutionality of the law
might be tested
When the measure which prohibits
the slaughter Of pigeons was intro
duced in the Legislature the Riyerton
Gun Club strongly opposed it, and pc
toned that body to vote it down.
When the measure BECAME law the
club held test shoot.
The act provides a fine of 500 for the
first bird killed and a fine Of $25 for
each additional bird shot or killed,
and in addition makes such killing a
misdemeanor, with the usual penalties
which include imprisonment.

Many Instances Cited Of What
Senator Stokes Did for the
Public School System
BROUGHT ORDER OUT Of CHAOS


Senator Stokes throughout his pub
lie career has been conspicuous as a
friend Of the Public Schools. He was
elected Superintendent Of Schools ia
Millyille in 1889, and filled the position
with marked ability until 1898, when
he declined a reappointment. During
his administration the schools Of Mill
vile progresseds rapidly. A new high
school building was erected and the
entire school systemo Of the city brought
to high state Of efficiency.
The experience gained by Senator
Stokes in this position was Of great
value during his term as member Of
Assembly and Senator from Cumber-
land county. The friends Of the Pub
lie Schools we're always able to depend
On his assistance in securing legisla-
tion for the betterment Of the school
system OF the State.
Prior to 1894 the State Board Of Ed
uca5ion was composed Of two members
f1om each Congressional District, and
certain State officers. While the mem
bers from the Congressional Districts
were equally divided politically, the
State officers gave a political majority
which changed as the control of State

United States in a contest with the
famed Capt. John 4. Brewer
The shooting Of Mr. Fulford was a
revelation, be winning The match and
establishing a record that has never
since been equailed. In the preli-
minary shooting and in the regular
match he scored Al birds without a
miss. Sometime afterward Mr. Full
ford again met Capt. Brewer IN q live
bird match Of 25o each for q purse Of
81, 600 side, and again he was VIC
torious. Sometime later Mr.. Fulford
shot al series with "A. r.. J elliott, the
present accredited champion Of the
world, and defeated him four out Of
five. This match was shot in 1892

LABOR'S SHARE OF PROSPERITY
Savings Of Labor Increhse Faster
Than General Savings.

SSt ttAntS8 0A AAUOf 1ucEEA8G RAStEE
Than General Savings.
Our foreign born citizens are some
times told that the protective policy Of
the Republican party is for the benefit
Of manufacturers and employers and
not for the benefit Of labor They hear
it said that the rich are growing
richer and the poor are growing poor
er."
That is not true. Every sensible
workingman knows that it is the pro-
tectivc policy which keeps up wages.
He lsnews that If protection We're de-
feEted, as tie Democratic party pro
poses. wages III the United States
would go down toward the level of
wages in Europe. Protection benefits
labor more than any other interests.
This can be plainly shown. Every
body knows that when labor prospers
it puts its savings III savings banks
and In life insurance benefit associa-
tions. The savings banks represent the
savings of labor, In 1880 the total
amount of deposits in savings banks In
the United States was $S10,00O, 600, in
1880 it was 81, 1,525. 100000 and in 1908
it was $2,935, 100000. In other words,
in 1908 it was nearly twice as much as
it was in 1890 and three and half
times as much as it was in $780,
Now, the whole wealth of the United
States in 1903 was only a little over
half as much again as it was In 1890
and only little over twice what ii
was in 1880 that is to say, while the
savings of labor increased three and d
half times the general wealth only
doubled.
This shows that the growth of labor
savings was faster than the general
growth of wealth. 1t shows that the
workingnen were steadily increasing
their share in the general prosperity
1t completely answers the untrue state
ment that ''the rich are growing richer
and the poor are growing poorer
What is true is that the whole body OF
the people are growing better off, and
the working people with the rest.
Iiilc Cdu NC ChOW II Al dAlOtnCk way
England is a free trade country. The
United States under Republican rule
is a protection country. Take the
same eight leading industries in both
such as iron and steel, cotton, wooden
boots and shoes, earthenware and
glass, etc In England from 1880 tc
1900 the number Of workers In these
Industries increased only 6 per cent
while the population during the same
time increased 25 per cent. In ths
United States in the same period the
number of workers increased Sc pei
cent and the population 50 per cent
that is to say, in free trade England
the number Of workers in the leading
industries increased only one-quartel
as fast as the population. while Ii
protection United States they increased
just as fast as population.
The Democratic party seeks to es
tabIish here through the election o.
Parker the policy Of free trade Eng
land. The Republican party through
the election of Roosevelt would main
tain the policy Of protection Unitet
States. The naturalzed citizens wht
have come here to enjoy the benefits
OF the United States cannot fail t
stand with Roosevelt.

no predicate for criticism which pre-
sents him Ia any other light than that one
in which he is reflected to us as teacher
who has trained the followers OF his race
in paths which thread to better ends than
those which lead through the dangers and
ruin Of politics.
When Horace Greeley was editor Of
the New York Tribune he printed some
statement in the editorial columns Of
I that paper and accompanied 1t with
the following laconie reply: You lie,
you yillainp' The men who invent
political roorbacks In campaign are

the amount Of State School tax paid
by each taxpayer In the State, The
amount appropriated annually BY the
State for this purpose reduces the rate
of tax for school purposes thirty-five
per cent. and amounts to about 81
100000.
These are only a few OF the many
things done by Senator Stokes for the
benefit Of the schools. and are cited
simply to show the interest he takes
in the subjects. and as an index Of the
wide range Of his activity and intelli-
gent thought on a subject which is Of
such vital Importance to the State, the
community and the individual.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1904-10-18

affairs passed from one party to the
other. Papers from all parts Of the
State were charging that the schools
were used as part Of the political ma
chine, thus creating in the minds OF
the people a distrust which was ham
pering seriously the efficiency Of the
schools. In the Legislature of that
year Senator Stokes introduced and
secured the passage Of bill by which
State officers ceased to be members OF
the Board, and it was made absolutely
non-partisan. The effect Of that
amendment to the School law was to
remove any suspicion of politics from
the State Board and to restore conf
dence in the integrity of the School
system.
Another act passed at the same ses-
sion which received the hearty support
OF Senator Stokes was the one which
abolished small districts and made it
possible to give to children residing in
rural districts the same educational
advantages as those provided for chill
dren residing In cities and Towns.
In 1896 the Legislature passed the
law creating the Teachers Retirement
Funu. There was considerable oppo-
sition to the passage of this law, but
Senator Stokes gave it his hearty and
active support and was instrumental
in securing its passage. Many teach
ers who haye been compelled to resign
their positions on account Of failing
health, have, through the annuities
received from this fund, not only been
relieved from anxiety as to their means
Of support, but IN some cases have been
saved from positive lack of the neces-
saries of life.
AS chairman Of the commission APP
pointed by Governor Voorhees, to re-
wise the School laws Of the State, SEN
ator Stokes was able, through his wide
experience and rare Judgment, to
frame School law which has
brought order out Of chaos, removed
the schools, as far possible, from
political control, and has given
the State a School code which
has been adopted as a model BY
other States, This law, while at first
subject to criticism, which was at first
due to lack Of knowledge concerning
its provisions, has received the approx
al Of all those familiar with the
Schools, and marks the beginning Of a
new era in the development and pro
gress Of the Public School system.
In deyising measures for the i'm
provement Of the Schools, Sena or
Stokes has kept in mind the interests
of the taxpayers quite as much as
those Of the teacher and pupil. He
believed that a portion Of the large
income received BY the State from the
tax on corporations should be used 70
relieve the people from a part Of the
burden OF tax for school purposes, and
in 1889 he introduced and secured the
passage Of an act authorizing an APT
preparation from the Stale Treasury
for this purpose. The appropriation
made under this act is used to reduce
