Town Auditors Report

The Town Auditors finished their
WORK of auditing the accounts of the
officers OF Morristown yesterday and
report the town affairs as having been
conducted in an economical way and
commend the work of the officials to
the voters. Following are some of
the principal items of interest The
outstanding debt is So, 500, q reduc-
tion oi Sl 800 during the past year.
Ihe smount of orders drawn by the
School Commissioners is $S,7S771.
These figures are excessive, for the
reason that the orders drawn include
the expenses of the town schools for
the past two years, as the schools last
year we're not out until after the au-
ditors had met. Amount of Highway
orders drawn were, $2S94.6 68. The
amount of the orders drawn by Over
seer OF the Poor are considerably less
than usual, being $798.40.

The National Ball Club.

Give us box of matches and barrel of
kerosenei
We are due for blaze of glory now, and
there's no use being mean!
We have waited long for this moment of
victory in the strife.
We're weary of turning the other cheek;
we're tired of the simple life.
We have borne the jests Of the bleachers;
we have stood for the grand stand
sneers;
We have plugged along as the tail-end
bunch for years and years and years,
But we're sitting up to take notice. We're
a cyclone of vengeful wrath,
And the scoffers flee in dire dismay as soon
we hit the path.
We're a bevy of idol smashers. The pitcher
whose praise is sung
tackled our friend Cy Young.
We aren't afraid of any man; with con-
fdence all serene
We call to mind what crimp we put In
the glory of Bill Dineen
1t is fine collection of scalps we have.
Posterity will tell
What We did to man named Bender and
likewise to RUDE Waddell.
It's case of suppressed emotion that was
bound to explode at last
We've managed to hit our proper pace and
were travelling mighty fast.

Mayor Dunno.

The interview with Mayor Dunno which
appears in this mornings newspapers is not
assuring as to his usefulness in office. 1t is
true, as he states, that he has not exhausted
his resources in the matter of the strike
The question is, why does he not draw
upon them more literally at once? Every
day of hesitation and haf-heartedness on
his part increases the difficulty. He has but
to speak the word with the bark on it to
muster a force large enough to preserve
order in the city. If this were not true
Chicago would not be fit place of resi-
dence for civilized people. If thugs and
rioters so far outnumbered good citizens as
to make the interference of the state or the
national government necessary, surrender
of the city charter would be due. Some
thing may be allowed for Mayor DUNES
newness in harness, but with the streets
infested with mobs bent upon and commit
ting murder he should Immediately in
crease the size of his constabulary to re-
store order and make human life safe. The
question for him is not one of politics or
union labor, but of the general welfare, and
he should meet it with all the force at his
command.

The Kenilworth Pool Room.

The fiimsy pretense of a commercial en-
terprise adopted by the managers of the
pool room just opened at Kenilworth Md,
has not deluded the public in the least and
It is to be hoped and expected that it will
not avail to prevent legal measures to the
end of abating this nuisance On the very
face of the business 1t is a palpable attempt
to evade the law and to maintain an Illegal
enterprise on the borders of the District.
The courts. to which an appeal for inter-
vention will assuredly be made at once by
the residents of Prince George county
should have no difficulty in discerning the
plain signs of scheme to conceal a gam
bling business. What need is there at a
place remote from the center of business
for a medium of financial exchange by
wire? That question alone strikes at the
bona fides of the establishment.
1t Is important that no time be lost in at
lacking the right of the hackers of this
business to set up in Maryland. The citi-
gems of the county should adopt aggressive
measures from the outset With delay the
treSpasserS upon their soil grow more con-
fdent and gain strength through the funds
they will be sure to draw from the peoples
pockets. 1t should need but a single day
of observation to yield the necessary evil
dence that an illegal game is in operation
If the pool room people can locate thus
at kenilworth in the guise of money-by-
wire agency there will be no limit to their
enterprise on the northern and southea stern
sides OF the District. 1t will be impossible
TO hold them back. Here will come the
hangers-on of other places, now more or
less harried by the law. The capital will
soon be fringed with dives of the worst
character There is danger that in such
case both Montgomery and Prince George
counties will be thickly infested with these
resorts. whose later determination will be
Infinitely more difficult than their expulsion
will he at present.
Now is the time TO strike. vigorously
fearlessly and with all the strength.

Money and Good Deeds.

In all our history, was ever money for
good public purposes so plentiful before. or
used to such praiseworthy advantage?
Mr.. Carnegie has given millions, and still
has ambitious projects in view. What the
sum of his benefactions will be before he
closes his account with this world no man
may safely say. He has done an incalcua-
BILE amount of good, and illustrated how a
clear head and sincere love for humanity
may scatter in the way of blessings an
enormous fortune far and wide
Mr.. Rockefeller has done much in the
same way His contributions to education
alone are in excess of thirty millions. For
other ends he has also been liberal
giver. The recent criticism Of one of his
checks has not it is stated, affected his
plans for further benefactions. His wealth
is SO large that If only limited part OF
it continues to flow into such channels as
education and foreign missions those excel
lent ends should be materially advanced.
Miss Helen Gould is not only a generous
giver to many worthy causes, but spenos
much time in personal Inspection OF
projects in which she has interested her
self. She has inherited a capacity for ex-
ecutiye business, and the world enjoys the
benefit of that as well as of large sums of
her money. There is no woman in America
whose example is better or VINO Is better
entitled to the great respect In Whch she Is
held by all classes and conditions OF people.
Yesterdays dispatches told of another
contribution of large proportions made by
John Wanamaker to the Y. NJ. C. As work
in the far east This thrifty merchant has
assisted many worthy objects here at nome
and seems to keep them wei In MIND he
also has large wealth, and If he continues
to share it with the public in this way
the fruits will be of the best.
These are but few names. The list is
long one and, what is most encouraging,
the captains of industry are setting an ex-
ample which, in a way within their power,
many people of small means are copying.
1t is a curious old world-full of contra
dictons and of many inequalities, and there
are times when people fall out with it and
try to make it over. But we ought not
at any time to forget that it wags along
pretty well in spite of all, and that at this
time in particular it is booming.

Mr.. Bryan's Leadership.

Musing on 1908, the Richmond Times
Dispatch says:
Democrats will have several years to
consider before they will be called upon
to act, and it should be a season of care
full and prayerful reflection. They Should
certainly not commit themselves thus far
In advance to Mr. Bryan. They should wait
and see whittier he proposes to lead them
Mr.. Bryan's direction is easily ascertain
able right now. He is leading toward BIZ
metalism, tariff for revenue only, cutting
loose from the Philippines soon as pos
sible and government ownership of rail-
road and telegraph lines. He is prepared
to urge any one of those issues as para
mount, play all of them together. as
the occasion may encourage. The last OF
the four Is a present his hobby. but, if
necessary, he can shift to another and
ride that There is no need to wait three
years to find out whittier Mr.. Bryan is
leading -
very interesting suggestion in political
circles is that Mr.. Bryan may spend some
time in Washington next fall and winter
advising with his friends in Congress about
legislation. He came here, it will be re-
membered at the time the peace treaty
with Spain was pending in the Senate. and
used his influence toward ratification. His
presence was resented by some of the older
democratic leaders, but he paid no atten-
tion to that. AS ne had 1900 in view, and
was counting on leading his party again,
he remained and saw the treaty through.
If his wishes had prevailed every demo-
cratic vote in the Senate would have been
recorded in favor of the treaty.
Mr. Bryan now has his eyes on 1905 and
expecting another nomination, is ambitious
TO help shape things for that year. He ap-
proves of the Presidents attitude toward
the railroads, and wants the democrats in
Congress to support the President. He
thinks it will be good politics for them to
do so, and particularly as. in his opinion,
the Presidents support from certain sec
ton of his own party is going to be luke
warm. 1t is thought quite likely, therefore,
that in order to impress his views the more
forcibly upon his friends in Congress Mr..
Bryan may come here and give them
steer from time to time.
There cannot be any waiting by the DEM
ocrats. They must go on record promptly.
The tariff question and the railroad-rate
question are coming up in Congress. and
while the initiative and the responsibility
are with the republicans, the democrats will
be obliged to show their hands. AS Mr..
Bryan and the democratic leader in the Sem
tariff question and Mr. Bryan and the dem
ocratic leader in the House. Mr.. Williams,
not together on the railroad question, the
session, II Mr.. Bryan comes to town, may
be lively one for the democrats.

Smoke, pelusions, Editorials.

Is the ability to write editorials on a
New York newspaper the surest test Of a
mans sanity? Does the fact that man
smokes to excess and entertains decisions
incapacitate him for writing editorials!
These are momentous questions, and may
be answered, Yes, No, Perhaps and many
other ways. Much depends upon what
paper the man writes editorials for; much
depends upon what the man smokes and
much depends upon the quality of the de-
iusions.
While 1t might seem that smoke and de-
lusions would tend to impair a mans util-
ity as a writer of editorials on some New
York papers. 1t would also seem that on
some papers he could not aspire to distinc-
ton without excessive smoking and with
out harboring decisions. Really 1t is a sub
ject that requires treatment with the ut.

rapid rise of the Nationals. There they'll
