The Freebooter Question
from the Newark News. j


Warren county will probably take action
next November, under the Strong law, to
decide whether the old board OF chosen free
holders shall be continued or new board.
consisting of three members, shall be sab
stituted for ii. John /. Blair Reilly, the
Republican leader and chairman of the
county committee, is issuing petitions to
the voters OF the county urging the referen-
dunn and arguing in favor Of the abolition
of the old freeholder system The fact that
the Republicans have taken up this matter
makes its success certain, for, while War
rem has elected a few Republicans at rare
intervals, it is strong Democratic county.
The freebooter question is, however, no
longer a party issue. Hunderdon county,
almost as strongly Democratic as Warren,
was the first in this State TO abandon the
old system and to elect commissioners, and
the wisdom of this act has been demon
strated over and over again. The legacy of
debts left by the old board has all been paid
off, the tax rates have been lowered each
year, better work has been done than ever
before, and the county. affairs have been
managed with unprecedented Judgment and
economy.
Middlesex, a Republican county, has
voted to abandon its old county board of
freeholders, and to substitute smaller and
a better one. Passaic county, also Repub-
Iican, has not only voted to abolish it's old
board, but has tried, convicted and senten-
ced some of its freeholdeTs to the state
prison. Bergen county, Atlantic, Ocean,
Burlington, Monmouth and Morris are all
agitating with more or less earnestness, for
the abolition of their old boards and for the
substitution Of she new and better and
more economic system, and Warren is the
last to join in the movement.
Political parties have little or nothing to
do with the matter, for Democratic and Re-
publican office holders are alike objection
able to the taxpayers when they are MEM
bers of the old system and yield to the
dishonest practices that seem to have be-
come an intergal part Of system that was
once considered excellent. 1t is likely to
be discarded throughout the entire State,
not because it il incompetent in itself, for
Iit is thoroughly American; not because it
is not representative, for it is almost ideal
in this respect; but because dishonest men
have taken advantage Of its opportunities TO
enrich themselves and rob the people. and
the taxpayers have determined to rid them
selves Of the men and the system atone and
the same time.

A PRACTICAL COSTUME.



Without pockets woman is at great
disadvantage in her competition with
man in business or III travel A man
has fourteen and sometimes more
pockets III his business suits, while wo-
man has not even one, but is obliged
to carry an amazing array Of small be-
longings or descend to many subter-
fuges Fashion has forced women to
adopt skirts where pockets would
seem to be impossible, but if any wo-
man will follow the simple plan here
shown she can be independent Of all
those little impedimenta, and no one
will be any the wiser, and she will
have the free use of her hands for her
protection In the many dangers of life.
Skirts now are fashionably made with
multiplicity Of plaits, generally
stitched along the outer edges. Be
meath these plaits long pockets can be
put and the opening arranged to close
invisibly with small hooks and eyes.
The front breadth is to be made Ike
panel, stitched along the edges to the
bottom. The left side forms the plack-
ct, closing with hooks and eyes or with
buttons in tailor style. The right side
has a deep pocket entirely invisible if
the opening is closed with buttons or
hooks.
Three more pockets can be set under
the plaits on the right side and two on
the left back Of the front breadth along
the hips. The waist may be in blouse
style or a jacket. An inside pocket is
made of chamois iii three compart-
ments, each fastening with strong
button to hold valuables. This is sew
ed fast to the inside at the bust line.
A natty small pocket is made like the
watch pocket in a vest to hold a watch
or small change and is deep enough on
the inside to be of practical use.
The plaits of the skirt are stitched
down at least eighteen inches aud then
left to flare This gives abundant
space for the deep pockets to contain
quite an astonishing number Of things,
all unsupported of any one. The con
venience of these many pockets ought
TO make them appreciated by business
women and tourists to whom satchel
would be burden And yaluables
would be much safer

how to Care For the Eyes.

First of all, take care of your gen.
eral health. Poor health often leads
Indirectly to various eye troubles.
Then remember that straining Of the
eyes is caused by a dazzling glare or
a bad light. Glare and gloom are
equally bad to work in. You need not
ask which is the worse for the eyes;
one is as bad as the other. The light
should fall on book or work from be-
hind us. The attitude while at work is
of great Importance. The head should
as far as possible be kept erect. Stoop-
ing causes an increased flow of blood
to the head and eyes; this is injurious
to them Don't read when travelling
Deny yourself this pleasure for tie
sake of your eyes.

Ways of increasing her height are q
constant source of thought to the short
woman. To look her tallest at all times
she should remember some simple gen
eral rules. High heels are a mistake.
The cut and length of the skirt are the
most important. The best materials
to give height are either plain ones or
those with a tiny stripe running length
wise Full skirts and baggy sleeves
are fatal to the short woman. A very
small hat is a mistake, giving an idea
of insignifeance. and large one is no
better, making the small wearer ap-
pear all hat. Safety lies in the medium
size, trimmed in a quiet, unostenta-
tious fashion. But, after all, the way a
woman walks and stands is her great
advantage or disadvantage. 1t is pos
sible for even a little woman to be so
upright and hold her head so prettily
that she will appear quite tall without
the least suggestion of stiffness. A well
carried head will give an additional
two inches to the height

An effort is to be made, we see by some
newspapers, to direct immigration to the
waste lands OF South Jersey. 1t seems
to US that the class of immigrants who will
be most successful in making the waste
lands Of South Jersey" blossom as the
rose, are the millionaire class who have
turned the sand dunes along the Atlantic
coast into Yeritable earthly paradise. We
conceive that the immigration Bureau
would be censurable for directing to these
waste lands the ignorant immigrant who
comes to our shores determined to secure a
home in the new world. because another
crop Of earth must be made before these
lands can be made to sustain life, and not
one seasons labor, but many, and large
outlay Of money would be necessary before
even small return could be expected

OBTAINING COPYRIGHTS.
HOW They May BE secured at Little
Expense.


Many persons are hindered from TAX
ing out copyrights which might be Of
great benefit to them on books, plays,
songs maps, engrayngs. Autographs,
photographs and art works because of
the fees charged by lawyers. It is very
easy to take out a copyright, and it
costs but so cents or dollar if a du-
plicate of it is desired
The first thing to do is to have two
printed title pages of a book or play
prepared. These may be typewriter,
but must not be sent in handwriting
Two specimens must be prepared ex-
actly alike in all cases except photo
graph of a statue, when one is enough.
Then write to the librarian of congress.

and ask him to please forward you
some application blanks for copyright.
They will be promptly sent Read one

places to be filed in, then write in the
spaces which are prepared and clearly
Indicated that you wish a copyright.
stating what you wish copyrighted,
sign your name in all the designated
places, inclose postal order for 90
cents and the two copies of whatever
you wish copyrighted and address it
according to the clear instructions.
In case it is printed book two copies
are sent, but it must be book printed
from type set up in the United States.
If the book or play is not yet printed
and the title is to be copyrighted, two
copies of the complete book should be
sent when completed
There is no need of a lawyer to en-
able any one to obtain a copyright

Man, Proud Man.

A man can't live on love alone,
A man can't live on thought;
A man can't live on liberty,
No odds how dearly bought.
All these are nothing to man
don't care what you say
Unless he manages, to get
Three good square meals a day.
a man can't lose his pile entire
And never turn hair;
But If the ham and eggs are cold
There's birthstone in the air.
a man can't lose his hair and teeth,
And friends, and still be gay
If he is fixed SO he can get
Three good square meals day.
A man can wear a smiling face
Above broken heart;
A man can grin and bear. the pain
When fondest hopes depart.
The only thing that downs man
And puts him out to stay,
Is separating him for keeps
From three square meals day.
