WORKING TRAMps

There is disposition in some quarters to
adversely criticise the act of Jail Warden
Platt in permitting tramps to work on the
city streets during the term of their COM
finement in the county jail. When it is
known that the Warden acted entirely
within the law in this regard, censure. if
there be any, will be directed against the
act, not the Warden, hence we quote sec
rtioa Il Of the Disorderly Act Of 1855, laws
of 1893, page 945
Whenever in the Judgment Of the custo-
dian or custodians Of persons committed
under the preceding section of this act,
suitable labor cannot be provided in the
place TO which such persons are committed,
it shall be lawful upon their written order
briefly expressed, to bind out and keep
any such person to labor in the service of
any suitable person or persons or corpora
tion, by them selected for term not ex-
ceeding his or her riginal commitment, as
a substitute therefore, and may compel the
performance of such labor for the term
fixed y
Warden Platt's act being legal, it will
be interesting to know his motive in SUBJ
mitting his wards to menial labor, hence he
was interviewed. Mr.. Platt hadn't thought
of anybody being offended by his allowing
his tramp prisoners to work, because. he
said, suppose everybody will understand
my motive, which is to discourage them
coming around here. believe, he said, as
soon as it is known in trampdom that to be
committed TO Woodbury. jail means work,
the tramps will keep away, and that will
be good thing for the taxpayers, and, in
a financial sense, bad thing for the jailor.

City Daily and Country Weekly

City newspapers get a great deal Of
amusement from their country contem-
poraries, and some Of them, at least, make
a practice Of printing from time to time a
funny column" made up wholly of selec-
tions from the rural weeklies.
Persons who livein New York or Chicago
or Boston are amused to learn that Mrs.
Jim Belcher Of Bings Corners has had her
woodshed and back fence painted red, y or
that 'sSilas Twombly has lost thirty chick
ems from the pip" Such news seems to
them absurdly trivial, and trivial it is, of
course. But ''life is made up of trivial
tiles. /" The only question is: Are they
trivalities in which we are interested?
The reader who laughs at these items in
the country weekly goes through the col
umn of two-line local news items in his
daily without a smile He reads with dig
nifty the account of the accident to 'sMary
Ann Higgins, servant, who fell on the ice
and broke her leg,n and the 'ffty-dollar
fire which damaged jones' all-night lunch
cart. - Is the one kind Of reading any
more ridiculous than the other-or, rather,
any less
City and country have each its own inter
ests, and both kinds of editors try to give
their readers what they want. Doubtless
both succeed in fair measure-how we'll,
many city man who was born in the
country may decide for himself by glancing
over the old home weekly which he still
receives. In that paper items which he
would laugh at if he found them anywhere
else will strike HIM with thrill Of pleas
ure or pang Of sympathy. The reason is.
he knows the people.

A New Store.

We are sure the citizens Of Gloucester Co
will be glad to learn of the opening Of
new department store in Camden, and Of the
fact that Gloucester Co. boy is one of the
proprietors of the magnificent enterprise
The store is located at the corner of fifth
and Federal streets, Camden, on the line Of
the Camden trolley, connecting with the
Woodbury. trolleyiat Mechanics street, or
only FIVE squares from the Camden Station.
We haven't been afforded an opportunity of
examining the building with view to giv=
ing our readers an adequate idea Of It's extent
and elegance, but suffice at this time to say
that it is modern from cellar to roof, and all
its broad floors are stocked in a way to
equal the great houses of Philadelphia.
Tuesday last was opening day, and the pro-
prietors, Messrs. Munger & Long were
delighted with the encouragement extended.
Mr.. Long is son Of Mr. Andrew Long, CT
Clayton. The opening announcement of the
new house will be found on the last page OF

THE MANUFACTURE OF wooLEN AND
WoRsTkD GOODS.

The report of the New Jersey Bureau Of
Statistics for 1908, the first part of which
is devoted to the annual census of manu-
factures of the State, shows the production
of wooden and worsted goods to be in a
gratifying prosperous condition.
In 1880, New.Jersey ranked sixth in the
manufacture of wooden and worsted goods,
and is shown by the United States census
to have held the same position in 1890 and
1900, although in the latter year so great
is the lead of Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania,
and Rhode Island in the industry, that
only five per cent. of the total product for
the United States. came from the mills of
this State.
In 1900, the average product Of New Jer-
sey mills was S429, 629 per establishments,
an amount which was surpassed only by
the output of Rhode Island plants, which
showed an average value OF $502, ,221 for
each mill Is is thus shown that although
occupying lower place in the number of
plants engaged in this interesting industry,
such as we have are of the most substantial
kind, and are equipped with the best and
most modern machinery Of production.
During the three years between 1900 and
1903, the wooden and worsted industry in
New Jersey has gone ahead by leaps and
bounds, and it is quite probable that if
comparisons with other States could be
made for the later year, it would be found
that New Jersey had advanced to posi-
tion near to absolute primacy in the trade
than the one which it occupied in 1900.
The average yearly earnings per employe
in 1900 was 1894 .73; in 1908 the earnings
had arisen to $346. so an increase of $22. ~,
or 6.8 per cent.
OF the 9,111 persons employed in the
industry in 1903, 4,673, or 51.2 per cent,
are females, which figures show slight
reduction in she proportion of female opera
tives as compared with the year 1900, when
it was SIT per cent.

AND WIFE
KILLED BY ". ]. TRAIN

A narrowing sight greeted Michael Pal
unto, the Italian watchman at the new
building being erected on Timber creek
near where the railroad bridge crosses the
creek, in the form of two horribly maDgled
bodes-a man and woman of his own
nationality beside the tracks at the
Westville end of the bridge They proved
to be the bodies of August Marticio and
Christiana, his wife, who was sister Of
Palunto's wife, and who were coming to
his house They were expected the even
ing before, but no surprise was felt at their
non-arrival, but were looked for early next
morning. They had evidently been struck
by train while crossing the bridge.
So far as known there were no witnesses
to the accident and all statement is mere
conjecture. 1t is supposed they were
struck by the 9.15 train from Phila., be-
cause the time at which they left their
home at 1851 So 7th st would just about
permit them to reach that point in their
journey.
Acting Coroner lPAncOast took charge Of
the bodies and had them conveyed to
Budd's morgue.
The couple had only been in this conn
try three months.
The grief Of relatives can better be imag-
ined than described.
No inquest win be held.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.


The following was taken from the ed
itoriai column of a recent issue of the New
ark Ereatug Ne,cs
tThe borough of Atlantic Highlands
has been making the experiment Of mu-
nicipal ownership, and with highly sat
isfactory results. "A few years ago the
question of installing an electric light
plant was under discussion. Those who
opposed it declared it would be failure,
that its management would fall into the
hands Of the local political machine and
that it would be run at a loss to the town.
The advocates of borough ownership held
that an electric lighting plant could be
operated as honestly and as economically
as water supply or any other public
utility, and they carried the day and in
stalled the plant.
THE annual reports are all that could
be desired, particularly the figures indi-
eating the operations of the plant for the
past year. The total expenses were 81
15907; the income, 81, $685. 40. The net
expenses to the borough for street lights
was So, 1856 This means that the cost
of each of seyenty-five arc lamps burned
all night during eight mouths Of the year
was but $33.18. The lowest estimate
given for arc lights by private companies
before the municipal plant was put in was
$50 each per year. The cost of lighting
the streets was less than half what would
have been paid to private company, and,
in addition, the rates for the private use of
incandescent lights can be made as low as
the people determine.
''The management of the Atlantic High
lands electric plant must have been both
capable and honest. The facts and figures
prove this. Capably and honestly run,
municipal plants are questionably Of ad-
vantage to the people. Herein lies the
crux Of the whole problem of municipal
ownership
A number of years ago Philadelphia tried
80 own ard srsrat It's gas Lighting spls.rsssss
but Philadelphia was then, as it is now, one
of the most recklessly and persistently cor
rupt cities in the United States, and its ex-
pertinent proved SO costly that the city gave
it up. There was no other reason for this
than the corruption and the organized sys-
tenn of q grafting," which permeated the
whole city government and that robbed
through the gas plant as well as through
all other city departments.
Atlantic City is happy in owning it's
electric light plant not only, but its water
supply as well, and this, too, costs the city
less than would be charged by private
company. Both plants are small, and the
comparative cost Of operating small plants
is much greater than that Of large ones, yet
the latter open so many more opportunities
to political interference and +" graft . that
cities hesitate at municipal ownership as
much for these reasons as for any others =:
