TIE street lighting committee in its
report, published In full in this Issue,
has taken a commendable attitude in
regard to the petition of the commit
tee Of the Civic Association, and while
referring to the apparent ignoring of
the committee before making the re-
port public, acknowledges the services
performed and shows how the sugges-
tions are bearing fruit. There seems
to be an impression too generally prev
alent that public officials have to be
forced into doing their duty, On the
contrary lis very rare that an official
will refuse to listen tosuggestions, and
If possible put them In force.

FORMER GOVERNOR FRANKLIN
MURPHY, whose political sagacity. will
not be questioned, gives it as his opin-
ion that United States Senator John
F. Dryden will be his own successor,
and he gives reasons for his conclusion
that will prove convincing To any who
may be doubters. He thinks Mr.. Dry
den is the logical candidate of the
party, because having faithfully and
ably represented the state he is en-
titled to a second term; because he
has proved an effective champion of
the protective tariff system and de-
voted advocate OF all Republican prin-
ciples, and because he has demonstrate

If any new houses are to be built for
fowls they should be finished so as to

try muslin ones. They are cheaper
and much better for the fowls. If pos

keep out the rats; otherwise a board
floor is best. Face the house southeast

CHARLES @. BLACK, the Democratic
candidate for Governor two years ago,
and who enjoys the distinction Of be-
ing the worst defeated man that ever
ran for Office in this State, is speaking
right out in meeting, and in a recent
interview said
"The bitter contest that is goingon
between the two RepublicanfactiOns in
this State is bound to rend them asun-
der, so that they cannot hope to get
together, and If the Democracy takes
advantage of it's opportunity by put
ting forward men who are not con-
trolled by sinister influence and who
are sincere and have the confidence of
the people, the Democrats will win in
this State this fall without doubt.
"The opportunity confronting the
Democrats of New Jersey is greater
than they have had in twelve years.
Not only are the conditions have de-
scribed and this opportunity apparent,
but everywhere in every county in the
State you hear a demand for change
Of administration and Mr.. Bryan's
popularity, as shown by the unanimous
desire for his nomination two years
hence, is an expression Of this same
opinion.
earnestly hope that the Demo-
Gratis Of New Jersey will rise to a
thorough appreciation of the Oppor-
tunity which lies at their door. Moth
ing but their own folly and indiffer-
ence can prevent them from regaining
power in this State next November.
If the Democracy does not prove dere-
lict to duty and become blind to it's
opportunity the next House Of As
sembly will be Democratic and the
next United States Senator Demo-
crat. :"
Here is the entire situation in nut
shell, and Mr.. Black at least deserves
credit for his frankness. No stronger
argument could be put forward why
the regular Republican organization
should be supported.

In the selection Of the herd boar we
wish to impress upon the buyer the
importance Of early selection. Go to
the breeder and make personal selec-
ton If possible The boar should be
obtained at least two months before
he will be needed. Select a vigorous,
healthy, well developed pig with every
evidence of good feeder and with the
proper markings of the breed repre-
sented. Don't buy boar just because
he has fine heart girth or perhaps a
fine ear, good bone or good back or
fine hams, but bear in mind that 1t is
a combination of these good points that
produces the pig we want-E. E. Hen

The Fan Piws.

Some who feed their pigs largely on
grain and crowd them to marketable
weights at six months of age sell them
In April and May, writes Michigan
farmer in American Agriculturist.
Others prefer to feed less grain
through the winter, letting the pigs eat
more clover, corn fodder, roots and
cheaper feeds until grass starts. They
then make rapid growth with the
dairy wastes in which to mix the meal
or mill feed. A good share of the feed
is gathered from the fields. This meth
cd gives excellent butchers pork and
is also an excellent plan to follow in
producing the present very popular
bacon hog.

DURING his life Marshall Field, of
Chicago, was regarded as model Of
fine American citizenship. 1t has
been revealed that Mr.. Field was ad-
dicted to the tax lodging habit. He
was paying taxes on s2,50O,OOO when,
as shown by the settlement of his es-
tate, he should have been paying on
something like s1s3,OOO,OOO. 1t is
gratifying to note, however, that the
authorities of Cook county, ILL.,, do not
propose to lose the large amount Of
taxes do them. 1t is said that they
are assured that they can collecU at
least s2,S00,O0O, and should they be
successful it will serve to make other
millionaires more careful in the mat
ter of swearing away their taxes.
