While the Evening News was not
an advocate of the Rex Company,
which was so severely condemned at
the time the contracts for the fire
apparatus for this city were given
ont. we cannot but take notice OF re-
cent events which have made the
chief argument of the Rex Company's
critics look rather small. 1t was said.
by those opposed to the Rex Company,
that the concern had no stability,
that its guarantee was Of little value
as it might go out CT business at any
time and then what good would the
guarantee be ? The Hayward and
other concerns we're pointed out as the
old standbys who have been tried and
found true. The city could make no
mistake in buying from them, it was
said.
Within the last few days the Hay
ward and other "old reliable" COM
-panies. VIII. ware in a combination
have gone into the hands OF a re-
ceiver. The fate which was so freely
predicted for the Rex Company has
overtaken the others. Perhaps the
city fathers did not do so badly in
choosing the apparatus after all. Al
any ratio the critics of the Rex Com
pany will be forced to admit that life
is very uncertain.

First american Iron Casttng.

What is believed to be the first iron
casting made in the territory now in
cluded in the United States is preserved
in Lynn, Mass. Its history is we'll au-
thenticated. 1t is a cooking pot, weigh
ing a little oyer two pounds. 1t was
made about 1912 near Lynn, where a
small blast furnace was built in that
year. This furnace used charcoal for
fuel, with bog ore found in the mead
ows along the Saugus river, and oyster
shells as flux. The furnace was operat-
ed until 1888, with some intermissions.

The dignitId, pacific and able
speech of Rid srd Olney, former Sec
retaTy of Stats, at the Mcclellan ban
Quet, is in marked contrast to the
many public utterances which have
characterized Democratic campaign
speakers in recent years. With men
of the Olney stamp guiding the des-
tiny of the Democratic party, the
country will be safe should the minor
ity party come into power again as q
result of the next Presidential cleo
| tion. -Plainfeld Press.
Plainfeld's Common Council has
adopted q practical way to keep down
tho number of saloons. 1t has passed

of wholesalers from $500 to $500. This
action was taken in accordance with
the recommendation of Mayor Jenkins
in his annual message. Plainfeld has

accepted Of course deductions would
be incorrect though this writer was
not responsible for the error. We
might also state that attendance. not
enrolment was used as a basis of
comparison throughout So there can
be no criticism ON that score for all
districts were figured alike TN
