ESSEX GUARD ANGRY.
M. Whitehead Ar
raigns the Conduct and Orr
ganization of the State
Organization

Every once in awhile the Democratic
Guard Of Essex. Of which Edward W.
Whitehead is the president, issues mani
ifesto in which the Democratic organis
cation is roundly abused. This is the
latest proclamation which has been sent
forth
Be it Resolved, That the Democratic
Guard Of the county Of Essex, from the
chairman down to the ianitof, are more
than dissatisfied and alarmed at the
inactivity, stupidness and 1aziness Of the
general so-caIled organization of the
party throughout the State Of New Jer-
sey; be it also
Resolved, That we, the members of the
Democratic Guard Of Essex. declare our
selves as not only believing but knowing
that the present Democratic State Com
mittee without headquarters as
dead, politically. and is as useless to the
party ranks as any door knob on our
ice box
Resolved, Also, that We, the members
Of the Democratic Guard Of Essex,
again urge the present Democratic State
Committee without headquarters to
resign--from chairman .down-and let
others be selected right away who know
how to have the right kind Of a party or
gaaization from one end Of the year to
sAe other
Resolved, Furthermore, that it is with
gladness, co-mingled with degree of
merriment. that the Democratic Guard of
Essex note that a new coat of paint has
been placed on the surroundings at
the Essex County Democratic Commits
tee headquarters over on West Park
street. But at the same time the mem
hers Of the Democratic Guard are smart
enough to know. after years Of common
sense political experiences, that paint,
pictures, carpets and star chamber ses-
sions don't bring votes nor victories.
Resolved. Finally, that we, the Demo-
cratic Guard of Essex, are fully aware
that we, as poor, weak Democratic mor-
tails, ~do not know it ALL but, neverthe-
less, we honestly believe and feel as if
we did know that the present Demo-
cratic management Of both Essex county
and the State Of New Jersey, act as if
they did not know how to lead the party
ranks when great and striking opportu-
mites exist day after day-year after
year.

Fire broke out on the top or ninth
floor Of the Commercial Trust Company )
building in Exchange Place shortly af-
ter three o'clock this morning. Il was
the first experience Of the local IRE de-
partment in lighting flames IN sky
scraper. and the aremen took no chances.
a third alarm was sent in. Consider
able difficulty was encountered ii reach
ing the flames. They were obliged to
drag their lines Of hose up nine flights
Of stairs, through smoke-dlled corridors
and stairways. Had the elevators been
running they could have taken hose mp
to the top floor and dropped the lower
ends down to be connected with those
attached to engines. Much valuable time
was lost. A stream thrown from the top
Of a thirty-foot ladder resting on roof
Of house adjoining the burning building
failed TO reach the flames. which were
bursting from the windows Of the top
floor and made beautiful sight from the
river and remote parts Of the city. The
floor is used mainly by the jsshitors and
scrub women Of the big building ana was
stored with janitors' supplies. including
paints, oils. etc. It is mainly one large
room partitioned off with a number Of
small apartments, one Of which was used
by the scrub women for hanging up their
working clothes. The woodwork Of the
windows and almost everything On the
floor was burned. 1t was not until ! s
sistant Chief Lowell reached the roof
with several firenen and opened Up the
ventilators that the 6remen, dragging
their lines Of hose up the stairways,
could grope their way up to the top fooE.
The draught cleared the burning room
and stairways Of the smoke.
The building. by all odds the finest and
best fre-proof building in the city. j.
splendidly equipped with means to fght

not turned on. The fremen deIuged tie

Good Roads Bill In Congress.

President Moore and Secretary Jack
son, of the National Good Roads Asso-
citation, are in Washington to confer
with Congressman on the Latimer-
Brownlow Good Roads blu, which
provides for an expenditure of S24,-
600. 600 on the nations roads in the
next three years. One-half of this
amount will be furnished by the States
and Territories and the other half by
the government. -,
"There is no more important bill
before Congress-" says President
Moore. Sixty million dollars are
spent each year on the roads of the
country now, and half of this amount
is wasted through extravagances
caused by lack of engineers and super
intendents with scientific knowledge
of road building. OF the thirty three
civilized countries of the world, the
United States is the only one which
! does not appropriate money for the
maintenance of its roads.
Germany has $4,000 miles OF impe'
rial roads, England So, 200, and France
IS, 900. The United States has not
mile, excepting the roads in cemete
ries and parks. In January we shall
open headquarters in Washington"

In 7emoriam.

In loving remembrance of my dear
husband, Alfred T. Young, who de.
parted this life October Sd, 1905, aged
40 years, after an illness of many
months with stomach trouble. All
that medical skill and tender nursing
could do, was done but to no avail in
the death of my husband.
Through all pain at times,
He would smile a smile of heavenly
birth,
And when the angels called him home
He smiled farewell to earth.
Farewell, dear husband, but not for
ever,
There will be a glorious dawn,
We shall meet to part no never,
On the resurrection morn.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are
DER,
On the border-land we left him,
Soon to meet and part no more.
Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake tt
weep,
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
By his wife.

The Home Orchard.

The rapid increase of parasitic dis
eases has discouraged many from
establishing fruit plantations with a
view of supplying family needs. This
should not be so; for our conditions
are admirably adapted to commercial
fruit growing; we can with reasona-
BILE attention grow high-class fruits
for our own use.
The variety question is the most i'm
portant and difficult with which the
intending planter is confronted. He
often makes the mistake of allowing
the tree agent to decide this problem
for him, with the result that too many
costly and worthless novelties are
planted. Only well tried standard
sorts should be selected. The list sug
gested below includes varieties COM
bining high quality and hardness: 1t
is not intended to be followed implicit
tly, but will be useful guide to Vir-
GINA planters. Local experience
