Mayor Brace is right in pointing
out the defects in the ambulance as
it is now proposed to turn it ove to
the city and we believe the aldermen
will back him up in refusing to ac-
cept the vehicle until everything is
supplied according to agreement.
There was some doubt as to the
wisdom of buying the old second
handed g in the first place. 1t
should at least be made up-to-date.
The city has waited long for this,
and, rather than put up with more
delays, the aldermen would be justi-
fed in going into the market and
buying a new and modern vehicle.

Middlesex is not the only county
where the democrats are fighting to
get off the ticket. Up in Union II
ty the democrats will have to go to
the polls with only two candidates
for assembly when there should be
three because of the withdrawal of
one after it was too late to name a
man in his place. Roosevelt seems to
have made everybody wish they were
republicans. AT least, there is some
thing unusual when Tammany Hall
endorses a republican president and
cheers for several minutes at the
mention of his name.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Newark Advertiser:
SO far this year the railroads have
placed orders for an aggregate of
1852 e freight cars, which is
more than were ordered during the
whole of the year 1902, which was
a record year. All the railroads
are short of cars, which cannot be
supplied fast enough, and in conse-
quence there is a freight car famine
and a congestion of traffic.
The cause of this lies in the great
crops and the activity of all the large
industries. Experienced observers
say that the indications point to the
greatest period of prosperity next
year that the nation has ever known,
and there could not ne better signs
to justify the prediction. The sale
of the crops will enrich the farmers
and their prosperity will be reflected
in the greater prosperity of manu-
features of all kinds, in business
profits, high and steady wages, and
improvements of all kinds to give
employment to labor.
Jersey City Journal:
President Roosevelt is the embodi-
ment of the American ideal. He
has risen from the ranks TO the top.
Out of the fullness of his experience
he voices the thought of the average
American in winged words which
touch responsive chords in the
hearts of men and women every
where. making each feel that that is
what | would have said if | had been
called upon to say it. This is what
produces that spontaneous wave of
approval from the mountains to the
seas that follows his speeches. Many
public men have been right M
times and most of them have pleased
their apartisans; but Roosevelt never
touches a false note and it is the
whole people who rise as n man to
endorse his views. If President
Roosevelt had not refused so posi-
lively the honor Of another term, it
would be easy TO imagine the Ameri-
can people all out in the open air
hands up, electing him president for
another term by reclamation. rs
Teddy all right? You bet."
Hoboken Observer:
Through actual test made by an
expert mechanic under the author
ity of the city clerk of Newark, it has

machines it is possible to register
more than M vote with only a
single ring of the bell. that is sup
posed to sound every time a ballot is
cast.
The conclusion that was finally ar
rived at by the experiment IS that the
only check TO prevent a voter who is
posted from taking advantage of the
machines weakness on this score is
the indicator on the outside which
registers the number of ballots cast,
a comparison of this return with the
number registered on the books of
the election board showing any dis
c~repancy. This, however, it is as
serted, would not prevent fraud if an
understanding existed between vot-
ers and election officers. This New
ark test might well be repeated in
Jersey City where machines are to-
be used for the irgy time on Novem-
hcif 4.

A Conquest
Of Nevada

Has Nevada always been an arid
and desert region? Its geological rec.
ords, as indelibly carved In sandstone
and granite, showing the shore lines
of ancient lakes, proclaim that it has
not but that at one time a vast body
OF water las great In area as Lake
Erie, covered a portion OF the state.
Today, however, the aridity of the
country Is unquestioned and the $780,.
600 acres, to part Of which Uncle
Sam is about to apply water, will
practically double it's well irrigated
area and it's agricultural population.
Nevada's ancient inland sea is
known as Lake La Hontan; 1t was one
of several great prehistoric lakes
distributed over the Great Basin of
the arid region, among them Lake
Bonneville Of which the Great Salt
lake vas the deepest portion. Its
area was nine times greater than the
Great Salt, or almost as large as
Lake Michigan and much deeper.
The contracted remains OF Lake
La Hontan in Nevada are found In

small enclosed lakes which were the
deepest portions of the ancient lake.
Since these large prehistoric lakes
were landlocked and did not over
flow 1t follows that the rainfall which
fed them was much heavier than it Is
today.
Drowning Out the Mormons.
Should conditions revert, many OF
the important points situated In the
Great Basin would ne hopelessly flood
ed, such for instance as the Mormon
Temple which would stand in $50 feet
of water, while 700 miles of railroad
would be submerged.
These prehistoric lakes are said to
be of very recent o~rigin-that is re-
cent by the biologists count--per.
haps 10000 or 10000 years old. Fos-
sils have been found showing the
presence Of primitive mar along their
ancient shores and embankments.

feet in contour and as distinct as /,

years since. These lakes included

Home For Miners.
Plans are on foot for a big home
for the miners In I'll Paso, Texas.
The enterprise has been suggested
by the undertaking inaugurated by
the National Miners association to
erect a handsome temple to cost $500
900 In Denver.
Ii will be remembered that Denver
has been selected as the permanent
headquarters Of the association. and
II is. therefore. proposed to erect n
substantial and permanent structure
that will reflect credit on the mining
industry OF the west.
In Denver n stock company has
been organized and already over
$400, 900 has been subscribed. While
the limit of the capital TO be invested
is fixed at $780, 900 1t is now thought
that several hundred thousand more
will be secured and that at least $780,
900 will be obtained for the enter
prise.
The matter is to he brought up at
the next regular meeting Of the asso-
citation which takes place next fall.
