Newark Prudential Superintendent calling see policy
holder surprised to learn that he was dead 1--WE did not
report his death to the Company said the widow because
we had let the policy lapse my husband having lost his en-
poyment before he died. The pocyholde had had loan on
this policy and his wife thought there nothing more coming
to her. There was reserve, however, which, through the
ComPanys liberal automatic extended insurance clause kept
the policy in force. Thus she was paid 1000 less the
amount of loan and unpaid premium.

No QUESTION that has occupied the at
tention of the Board of Freeholders has
excited more interest than that of ap.
pointing matron for the Jail. While the
Board practically turned the proposition
down there is feeling in all paris of the
county that there shou Id be such an ap.
pointment made. The matter was left to
the Committee on Court House and
Grounds, with power to appoint when. in
their Judgment, such action is necessary.
The committee has been listening to argu-
ments pro and con and are willing to hear
more from the taxpayers We are in
clined to the belief that conditions at the
Jail cannot be harmed by having a matron
appointed. II for no other reason than to
protect themselves the officials in charge
of the institution ought to welcome such
an innovation. The argument is made
that there is no place where a matron
could have comfortable quarters and that
it would be an expense to fit up a place
for her That is small matter. Unless
we are misinformed there are rooms 10 the
upper portion of the Sheriff's residence
that could be easily and cheaply fitted up
for occupancy. There might be some
rooms in the Jail, for it is only recently
that official families have given up the
custom that prevailed for years of living
in the prison. The first thing to be settled
is whether a matron is needed. That being
determined the next thing is to select a
suitable person and in this matter unusual
care should be taken. There should not
be any selection through favor, but the
new officer should be chosen entirely upon
her merit to fulfil the duties which would
be required of her 1t will be a great
mistake to take anyone simply with the
emoluments of the place as consi der
alton. If this innovation is to be made
there must be a removal from the situation
of all suspicion to have in charge any one
who will gloss over matters that need cor
rection or who will for moment shut her
eyes to deeds of omission or commission
While we are not prepared to believe all
the rumors that have given life to the agi
tation of the subject of matron. we do
say that there should not be opposition to
any plan. that seems to have the betterment
of human beings as its object. To aid in
every possible manner the carrying out of
such ideas will be the greatest evidence of
absence of fear for any investigation that
may be made, to oppose and throw OBJ
stacles in the path will be indicative of
something else

New JERSEY and Wisconsin have been
brought into comparison in their taxes
and finances by the Identification of Sena-
tor La Toilette, of Wisconsin, with New
Jersey politics this year. New Jersey
will stand the comparison.
In Wisconsin there are State taxes on
the people. In New Jersey there is none,
nor has there been a State tax since
1884. In Wisconsin there has been paid
by the State for the calendar year 81 ,61e, :
335 towards paying the cost of public edu
cation. In New Jersey last year the State
paid out $1,616,0 900 for school purposes,
and in the next fiscal year the State will
pay all the State school taxes besides pro-
yiding, without taxation, for all educa-
tional interests.
In Wisconsin the new railroad tax law
for the present year will net about 81, 600
900. In New Jersey the railroad taxes
will approximate five millions. In Wis
consln the new railroad tax law incre ssed
the railroad taxes about 80 per cent. In
New Jersey the increase has been about
300 per cent.
There is State treasury balance in
Wisconsin of So, 129, All. For several
years the State treasury balance in New
Jersey has been very little short of three
millions, and but for the policy adopted
of using great excess for needed public
improvements there would be ten millions
in the treasury.
In New Jersey we have constructed over
1900 miles of the finest roads in the
United States by generous State aid. In
Wisconsin very little has been done In
the way of road improvement. We have
here in New Jersey magnificent State in
situations that have no counterpart in
Wisconsin
Senator La Toilette takes the credit for
the railroad tax law of Wisconsin, and for
the favorable financial condition of his
State, and he came to New Jersey as to a
semi barbarism to instruct US in the art of
State government. But he had more to
learn than to impart, and If he had no
been 50 intent on his mission of DESTROY
ing several thousand millions of railroad
values he might have observed that New
Jersey had something to teach to him and
his State.-Nepark AdUertiser
