HISTORIC LINE
iRESURVEYED

The historic Mason and Dixon
line has Just been resurveyed at the
joint expanse of the States OF
Pennsylvania and Maryland. The
surveyors found that many of the
old markers and cTownstones had
been displaced. One stone was used
as a door sill in a house, another in
a church and some has been used in
bake ovens. The line was carefully
re-established and the old stone
posts set along its course, after
Mason and Dixon marked it in 1868.
were reset in solid cement bases, and
iron posts were substituted in places
where the old ones had disappeared.
A good many of use have probably
forgotten the origin of the Mason
and Dixon line, and that it was TIN
result of dispute between Penn
svlvania and Maryland over their re-
spcctivc boundaries as described in
their charters. The settled bound
ary was marked by mile-stones, every
fifth one having the arms of Lord
Baltimore on one side and those Of
William Penn on the other.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Jersey City Journal:
New Jersey continues to furnish
plenty of notables for the great
metropolitan district.
Charles e. Hughes, who has been
asked by the Republican City Con-
vention to be the candidate for may
or against Mayor Mcclellan in New
York, spent a number of his years
in Newark and is well known among
North Jerseymen.
Mayor Mcclellan, who will again
be the nominee for the democrats,
was a resident of New Jersey for
many years and lived in Orange,
while his father was Governor of
New Jersey.
Democratic Candidate Metz, who
is after the comptrollership in New
York, lived in Newark for many
years.
Police Commissioner McAdoo, who
is likely to be retained in case OF
Mayor McClellan's reelection, was
such a fine Jerseyman that Hudson
county insisted on esnding him to
congress for several successive
terms.
Bridgeton Evening News:
In ten years, according to the testi-
mony elected by the legislative inves-
tigating committee. the McCurdy
family-father,.. son and son-in-law-
plucked the Mutual Life Insurance
Company to the extent of S3, 657, 453
for services rendered. Such rich pick
ing has never before been disclosed in
this country. No wonder there is
anxiety for federal supervision. To
manage an insurance company is bet
ter than to own a gold mine.

Brick pavement for business
streets is coming more and more in
favor everywhere and it has the
great advantage of affording ample
opportunity for competition. 1t has
but one objection and that is the
noise. In this particular the wooden
block has the advantage. The fact
that there are two schools on the
block between Market and Smith
streets would tend to favor wood
should an effort be made to have the
pavements continued north to the
Lehigh Valley bridges. AS wooden
block is to be put on Smith street
from State street west to the rail
road, the same material might go
we'll on State street. The time is
coming when this thoroughfare can
no longer be ignored.
