SOME things that happen in every
day life are very funny, but the fun
NEST ever is the reason given bya Dem
ocratic alderman for voting against the
re-apointment Of DR.. Haven that the
doctor was in favor of Or. McAlpin's
starting a milk route In Morristown.
When it is remembered that non-resi-
dent and non-taxpaying milkmen are
wearing out our streets with from one
to three wagons daily, and that DR..
McAlpin is, next to the Trust Compa-
ny, the largest tax payer in the town
it certainly is to laugh to think that
he cannot drive milk wagon about
town if he has the price of license.

THE PRESIDENT SETS AN Ex-
AMPLE,


N President Roosevelt went from the
White House to the Capitol last Satur-
day to sign bills before Congress should
adjourn.
The National Constitution contains
the same limitation in regard to bills
left in the Presidents hands after
Congress adjourns that the New Jer-
sey State Constitution contains relat-
ing to bills left in the Governors
hands after the adjournment of the
Legislature.
The President never tries to sign
bills after Congress adjourns and thus
to make laws, that being the preroga-
tive Of the legislative branch Of the
Government.
The only difference between the
General Constitution and that of the
State of New Jersey is in the number
ofdays allowed the executive for hold
ing bills. The language Of the United
States basic law Isl If any bill shall
not be returned by the President
within ten days, Sundays excepted, }
after it shall have been presented to
him, the same shall be law in like
manner as if he had signed it, unless
the Congress by their adjournment
shall prevent its return. in which case
it shall not be a law
In the New Jersey Constitution the
language used is If any bill shall
not be returned by the Governor with
in five days, Sundays excepted), after
it shall have been presented to him,
the same shall be a law in like manner
as if he had signed it, unless the Leg
islature by their adjournment prevent
its return. in which case it shall not
be law
The Presidents of the United States
and the national law-making and law
constituting powers have always main
tanned that the language of the Con-
stitution means exactly what it says.
In New Jersey practice has grown
up by which the Legislature dumps
practically the whole sessions's out
put of laws on the Governor, leaving
him to pass them at his leisure, and
in this way new laws are appearing,
from time to time, for months after
the Legislature has adjourned sine die.
Last year the annual crop was not
completed and garnered into the stat
ute books until August. This year the
laws enacted by the last Legislature
are still coming and the statute books
have not been issued.
Some day this practice will be stop
ped. 1t will require a judicial decis-
ion to accomplish this, and this should
be secured as soon as possible. 1t would
put an end to the practice of putting
it up to the Governor when legisla-
tors wish to shirk responsibility.
No bill should be a law unless the
Legislature was in session at the time

GOVERNOR STOKES settled on Fri
day the legislative municipal lighting
situation by approving Assembly bill
No. 1873, by Mr. Jones, of Camden. and
vetoing the Wright measure, Assem-
bly, No. SO. The Jones measure en-
ables cities to construct and maintain
light, heat and power plants. In dis
approving Mr.. Wright's bill the Gov
ernor said: This bill is disapproved.
A bill has already been approved so
similar in its provisions that it would
not only be unnecessary, but unWlse
to add other laws which would only
confuse legislation and not promote
the object in question. The Legisla-
ture left this subject in an uncertain
attitude. 1t passed several bills con-
Trajectory and overlapping in provi-
sions and at the same time passed a
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a commission to investigate
this subject and declaring that in the
Judgment of the Legislature, it would
be wiser to postpone legislation on
this question until the next regular
session of the Legislature. While
these bills were pending, sent a mes
sage to the Legislature requesting
that all measures relating to this SUBJ
ject be grouped into a comprehensive
general act, stating that I would not
be able to approve variety of bills on
this subject, containing inconsistent
provisions. One general measure on
this subject has been approved. After
an investigation such as is being made
by the Civic Federation and such as
will be made by the commission yet to
be appointed under authority of the
Legislature, whatever changes a years
experience may show to be wise, can
better be made as amendments to one
act, than to variety of measures lack
ing uniformity both in principle and
in provision

JUDGING from the remarks made at
the meeting of the Board of Aldermen
one would naturally believe that water
in its natural state in Morristown is
more valuable than whep frozen into
ice. We find upon inquiry, however,
that the prohibitiye price demand
ed by the water company for sprink-
ling Speedwell avenue, a wide street
mile in length, is $3.50 for the season
of eight month, and if Sundays are in
Guided $500, The basis of calculation,
we are informed, is the same as that
which fixes the price for Mr.. Foster,
the regular street sprinkler. There is
nothing to prevent the sprinkling Of
Streets with water procured from any
other source except the expense OF
hauling, which is prohibitiye.

Bids are already pouring in upon
the treasury department for Panama
canal bonds in response to Secretary
Shaw's circular inviting proposals.
The first responses came in the mails
Friday Next day more than 100 had
arrived, The largest offer came from
Pittsburg, Pa, directed to Secretary
Shaw personally. The writer said he
desired to be registered for 100000
Of the issue. Most of the letters offer
to take small amounts. Many of the
letters are from working people, in
dicating that the Panama issue is
likely to take on the character of a
popular loan, as did the Spanish-Amer-
lean war loan.

THB governments fiscal year closed
with June, and the net balance in the
treasury for the twelve months is $685.
693, 459. The surplus for the month Of
June was S19, 531 ,081. the largest re-
corded for June for several years, and
much larger than last year. The sur
plus is considerably in excess of that
which the Treasury Department pre-
dicted; but it is recalled that Secre-
tary Shaw, in making his forecast,
said that it was a conservative one.
The year started off with the calamity
howlers predicting that the deficit
would be appalling, the estimates be-
ing as high as $40, 100000. The deficit
on June 30, 1905, was 1924, 305, 903, and
on August 81 last the losing balance
was SIS 800, 900. The recovery has
been marvellous. especially in the last
quarter, and due to the greatly in
creased receipts both from customs
and from internal revenue taxation.
The results are most gratifying and
very creditable to the Administration.

sistent and intelligent economy and

Popular Drug Store toCo-0perate with
National Cigar Stands Co. in Sale
of Tobacco Product.
The opening Of the National Cigar Stand
in Fl. M. Smiths Drug Store on May 18th
was an event OF unusual interest to smok-
sers 1t was the first opportunity for the
smokers Of Morristown to test the benefits
derived from the great union OF 1900 cigar
stands nnder the National Cigar Stands
Companys emblem.
The stand itself will prove as much a
revelation to smokers and dealers as will
the price reducing methods of this great
concern. For beauty and utility in pre-
serving cigars the stand In H. M. Smiths
Drug Store Is indeed unique.
The National Cigar Stands Company
was formed by some 1900 American drug
gists who wished to combine the purchas
ing power of their cigar stands into one
powerful N a t-controlling concern.
Through the com oany. these druggists can
buy in such vast quantities that they con-
troll their own factories, produce their own
brands and bring cigars direct from fac
tory to smoker at prices closer to the actual
cost of production than has ever been
known. BY delivering cigars direct from
producer to smoker the National Cigar
Stands Company eliminates from their
cigar prices four profits that ordinarily go
to middlemen and jobbers. This saving 10
given to the smoker in the form of lower
prices on equal cigars or in better values
for the same price.
BY producing In enormous quantities,
eliminating the jobber profits and selling
direct, with little expense for rent and no
expense for extra clerk hire. it is not SUR
prising that National Cigar Stands are
able to give to smokers cigars Of the usual
8 for 26c. quality for &C., ten cent cent
cigars at &c., and SO on. up to the very fin
est class of Imported Havanas
