WOULD FORM
NEW COUNTY.

County slicing and county making
bid fair to be important matters for
the consideration of the next New
Jersey legislature. AS legislation of
this nature, despite the fact that it
would prove an immense benefit to
the business interests affected, has
always proved a difficult matter in
past years, efforts will be made by
those interested in the project to
have politics eliminated.
The counties likely to be affected
are Middlesex, Union and Somerset,
with the borough of North Plainfield,
in Somerset, and the city of Plainfield
in Union, as the chief centres of in
terest.
For five years or more large ele-
ment in North Plainfield has been
exerting its efforts to get out of Som
erset county, and afterward annex
themselves to Union county. After
becoming annexed to Union it was
the plan to later consolidate with the
city of Plainfield, while many of the
North Plainfielders had in view a
separate municipal government. The
annexation plan was defeated three
years ago, but since that time there
has been wonderful change in pub
lie sentiment in North Plainfield rel
ative to the question.
The new county idea is to cut off
portions of Middlesex, Union and
Somerset counties, including North
Plainfield and make the city of Plain
field the county seat. From Union
county it is planned to take Plain
field, Fanwood borough and town
shin. North Plainfield township and
borough, and a small slice of Warren
township; thence it is planned to go
over into Middlesex, taking in Dunel-
len, New Market and South Plainfield,
portion with Fanwood township.
This New Idea.
With Plainfield as the county seat
in this "new idea" of county, the
business interests, and citizens, in the
suburban towns of Plainfield would
be in closer touch with the county
seat.
The new county idea seems to meet
with the approval of the business
men of Dunellen, New Market, North
and South Plainfield, the only ones
being opposed to the scheme being
few politicians of the small fry
variety, of both parties. The people
in Dunellen generally favor the idea
of creating a. new county, and the
sentiment was expressed a few days
ago by one of the foremost mer-
chants of the borough, who said u
don't see why we should remain in
Middlesex county. We never get any
thing. The politicians over in New
Brunswick are always after our votes
and l think it a good time to cui
loose and get into the new county
We can get to Plainfield in trolley
car in ten minutes. To reach New
Brunswick 1t take two hours or more
in trolley car or wagon" Similar
statements are heard in South Plain
field and New Market.
Although the feeling waged bittel
for a couple of years, 1t is nov
thought that If another election
should be held, the people of Nortl
Plainfield would vote to come Owe
into Union county by big majority

mayor of the borough, is one of th'
enthusiastic advocates of changing o

Morning.

FROM tflOaV s dairy.
The death of Miss Mabel Amanda
Johnson at one o'clock this morning
was a particularly sad one. She was a
bright and promising young woman the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Emanuel
Johnson, who reside at 2lS North
Fourth street. She is graduate of

PERMITS FOR BURlALS
What Sccetery Bracken Has TO Say
About the Matter.
From Mondays Daily.

The passage of Il burial permit law
will be one of the things that Dr.. II. NJ.
BracSen, secretary Of the state board
OF health. will ask from the next legis-
lature. The law is needed in order THAI
the state statist. ) may be recognized
by the national census bureau, says The
st. Paul Pioneer Press.
At present the federal census bureau
will not recognize the state statistics on
deaths, but 90 ahead and get their own
information for the reports If ii permit
had TO be taken ont for every burial they
would recognize the state statistics and
save considerable bother
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth, and
some of the smaller cities have ordi-
nances requiring permits for burials.
but there is no law applying to the
whole state. As a consequence, the vi
tai statistics are not always reliable.
There is delay in reporting, and some
perhaps are not reported at all The fed
eral census bureau makes the same rul-
ING in all states, and in the few states
that do not have burial permit laws.
they do not recognize the state statis-'
tics.
But the law is more important from
the standpoint of public health, says
DIR. Bracken. There are many eases of
deaths from contagious diseases where
certain precautions should be taken
against the spread of the disease. If Il
permit had to be taken out for ,-.e
burial the health authorities could see
that these regulations are carried out.
but as it is now many burials take place
with absolute disregard of the sanitary
regulations

Eveleth, Dec. 20-NNhile the members

tons are sent up for her recovery, Miss
Violet White. Il member of the senior
class. is making a remarkable fight for
her life which is threatened by the
white plague.
1t has been ordered by her physician
that the three windows of her room be
kept open, but that the temperature be
not allowed to fall below 60 degrees.
This, in so vigorous climate, is no easy
matter and the citizens of Eveleth with
whom Miss White is extremely popular,
are watching the contest with great in
terest, and while the patient lies on her
bed suffering, hundreds call daily to learn
of the progress being made in the battle
with the -lsidious disease.
Miss White six weeks ago was strick
Ell with pneumonia, which soon develop
ed alarming symptoms. A consultation
of physicians was held which decided
that an operation was necessary. Ow-

MoTloJoaly Leads
To Insanity

Too much excitement-too much mo-
notony. Both these extremes are fatal
to the nervous system.
Diseases of the nerves often result
from the excessive mental work and
worry and the strife ard turmoil of
city life.
But what leads to the paralysis, the
locomotor ataxia and the insanity which
comes frequently to the farmer or his
wife living in rural sections, or to per-
sons who work with machinery? 1t is
the rnonotony.
Whatever your circumstances. 1t Is
wise to be alert for symptoms which
denote exhausted nerves, headache and
indig stion, irritability of temper and
weakness of body and mind, and to be-
gin at once the use of DR.. A. w. Chase's
Nerve Pills.

REASONS FOR DISMISSAL
President States Why He Discharged
the Coiored TroopS

President Roosevelt has made public
his explanation of the discharge of the
colored troops. Following is his explain
alton in brief:
81 ordered the discharge of the sol
diers in the exercise of my constitu-
tional power and in pursuance of what,
after full consideration, | found to be
my duty as commanders in chief of tne
United States army.
Precisely the same action would have
been taken had the troops been white
indeed, the discharge would have been
made in more summary aclion.
"Two white officers in charge of the
men will be contaminated
''The soldiers were aggressors from
start to finish and had no opposition.
'The discharge OF all the soiuiers
saved many murderers from worse pun,

Soldiers should be protection, not
menace. in times of peace.

LOOKING FOR GOOD MEN
Governor Wants Three to Place on
University Regency.

st. Paul, Dec. 2l.-"I will never toll
crate the injection of politics into state
university so long as / have the power
to prevent it," said Governor johnson
today.
"The three men 1 am to appoint will
not be named from political considera-
tons at all. | wouldn't countenance
any plan to control the board for polit-
zeal reasons. | want to find three strong
men for the board who will be of SER
vice in building up the institution. The
university Is at stage in its develop
ment where it needs the service of
strong, able men on the board and in the
faculty, and L don't think any criticism
will be made of my appointments when
they are announced"
1t is reported that an effort will be
made to get DR.. w. j. Mayo of Roches-
ter to accept a place on the board as a
representative of the medical fraternity,
succeeding Dr.. 0. {. Stricken of New
Ulm. DIR. Mayo is recognized the coun-
try over as one of the greatest surgeons.
He is said to have refused an offer from
the University OF Pennsylvania to be-
come dean of its school of medicine at
$4,000 d year with an absolutely free
hand to reoganize the school. If he
should consent to serve it is believed
that the appointment would be applaud
ed by all physicians of the state. 1t is
said that the governor has his heart set,
on adding John Lind and DR.. Mayo to
the board.
