Commissioners of Charities.

Governor Stokes has appointed Rev.
G. B. Wight to the position as State
Commissioner of Charities, a new office
created by the last legislature.
DR.. Wight is said to be aman of wide
experience and broad business educa-
ton. He is a veteran of the Civil War
and has been preaching in the New Jer-
sey Methodist Conference for a number
Of years. He has served as Presiding
Elder and several leading charges,
among other places, at Trenton and
Camden and is now at Lambertville.
This is n of the few times that a
Methodist preacher has been named to
apolitical office. The position pays
$4,000 a year.
The act under which DIR. Wight is
appointed is the outcome of the stand
Gaken by Governor Stokes in his inaug-
ural message. After showing that the
State has public institutions worth $12,-
100000 and that it's dependents cost
last year 1915, 127. so, the Governor
said:
1.-The condition confronting us is ap-
palling. One institution has cost the
State at the rate of $1,000 an inmate;
another at the rate of 81, 200 an animate.
This work must be continued in the
interest of humanity and for the safety
of the State, but some system should
be devised by which results can be more
economically obtained or the burden
will soon over-tax the capacity of the
State"
Governor Stokes then recommended
the appointment of a commissioner of
charities and correction, 'to pass upon
all proposed new buildings or additions
to existing institutions, and serve the
interest of economy and the interests of
our State wards as we'll"
Under the new act the duties of Com
missioner Wight will be to regularly
inspect all charitable and correctional
institutions that receive orders from
the State, and he shall see at least once
a year all state wards in private institu-
lions. He is given power to require
from the various institutions such re-
ports as he may need, and shall, at the
request of the Governor, investigate the
management Of any State institution.
All plans and specifications for State
buildings or for improvements to, State
buildings shall be prepared under the
direction of the commissioner.
Mr.. Wight will have the naming of
an assistant, who must be an architect,
and who will draw a salary of So, 500 a
year. 1t is understood that George E.
Poole, of Morris County, late Assistant
Clerk of the House, and at present AS
sistant Commissioner of Labor, will be
given the place. He has been chosen
as architect for the new addition to the
State Prison.

and pleasing actors this country ever
produced. His favorite role, and the
one III which he pleased the people most
was that of impersonating Rip Van
Wrinkle, in n of the pleasing stories OF
Diedrich Knickerbocker by Washington
Irving, Of how an ancient Dutch set
tier on the Hudson river who, having
drank some of the liquor furnished by
natives, slept for twenty years. When
he awoke from his nap and returned

The contract labor law and the Chin
ese immigration laws do not apply to
the Panama Canal Zone. This is for
tunate, perhaps, as the Canal Zone is
not a place where many white men
car to work anyway, and some who
went there are not pleased with their
job. When the Panama railroad was
built as many men died along the route
as there are ties in the railroad.
