HEALTH BOARDS PROGRAM.

The program of this Board of
Health as outlined in the NEWS yes
terday ought o bring about a great
change in that department of the city
government, if carried out. These
gentlemen must realize that there is
a great work to be done in the line to
which Mayor Brace has appointed
them. The city needs cleaning up
from one end to the other. This does
not particularly mean the streets, al
though the citizens could do a great
deal in getting them in much better
condition, but the empty lots, back
yards, and alleys are in horrible
shape. Some of these are common
dumps, others contain great pools of
stagnant water, which in summer be-
come very offensive and dangerous to
the health of the community.
The mosquito crusade should re-
ceive the serious consideration that
it deserves. There is no more com
petent or wide awake health board
in the state than the one in Newark,
yet that body devoted much time and
expense to the mosquito problem
when the situation was a great deal
more hopeless than it is in Perth
Amboy today. So successful have
they been in fighting this pest that
they are highly enthusiastic and are
going to carry on the war with still
more determination. These men are
not dreamers. They are well posted
in what they are doing. The local
health board could do no better than
visit the headquarters in Newark and
investigate the system in vogue.
The people here are looking for
ward to some good work from this
department during the coming year.
We do not believe they are 10 he dis
appointed.

as innocent of any wrong-doing as
the members say they are, they
should welcome such a proceeding.
This matter has been smoking long
enough. An official Investigation is
the only way TO clear it away. The
grand jury is the right party to make
such inquiries and the fact that, ac-
cording to a New Brunswick report,
it has heard one story which has
some mystery attached TO it, is basis
enough to begin such an investiga-
ton. BY running this story down
other reports and rumors may be
heard, which, in turn, nay lead to

AN INVESTIGATION.

Just how far the grand jury in
tends to go in the local excise matter
is known to no one perhaps, but the
jurymen themselves and the prosecu-
tor. That an Investigation has been
started on less proyocation is certain
and some startling discoveries have
been made. There is no doubt but
that the quickest way to stop the agi-
tation, which some people seem to be
so anxious to have done, is to have
an Investigation, make it thorough
and let the facts come out. This
seems to be the only way the excise
board can yindicate itself and if\it is

NEW POLITICAL PARTIES.

The Trenton Times takes another
dig at George l.. Record and the Col
bv-Faean movement in general be-
cause at a reception or house-warm-
ing given last Saturday night at the
headquarters of a Jersey City republt-
can club, George l.. Record made an
address in which he declared that
this fall will find "a Pagan ticket,
perhaps not under Just that name
in every county in the state of New
Jersey" and before the next election
there will be no democratic party
and no republican party, as hereto
fore known. There will be a party
that will stand for squareness INC
honesty. 1t will be a true republican
party"
While Mr.. Record may be some
what premature in his prediction OF
the disappearance of the republican
and democratic parties, he is on the
right track and the Trenton Times
will live to publish an article telling
of the sweeping victory of the new
party. There are hundreds of voters
today who are only waiting a chance
to join such a party as Mr.. Record
speaks of. These men include re
publicans and democrats. They re-
fuse to leave one for the other of the
old parties. knowing that 1t is mere
ly a case of jumping out of the fry
ing pan into the fire.
It will be remembered that in the
early days of our country there We're
the federalists and the republicans.
The former party gradually grew so
small that under President Monroe it
passed out of existence entirely. The
republican party became so large that
differences arose among its own
members resulting in its disappear
ance also and the formation of the
democratic and whig parties.
1t is a coincidence that practically
the same state of affairs exists today
under the Roosevelt administration
as existed under Monroe. The dem
ocratic party, like the federalists, has
gone TO pieces and differences are
arising among the republicans which
will split them, the factions being
joined by what democrats there are
left, under new names and with new
issues. The men who now call them
selves the regulars, The organiza-
ton men, will form one party while

The Tremendous Influence
OF Very Great Wealth
By President ELIOT of Harvard

1nHWHE very rich are by no means the healthiest members of the
community, and to escape the peris Of luxurious living re-
u ~ quires UNUSUAL WILL POWER and prudence.
r Great capital at the disposal of a single individual confers
Eon its possessor great power over the course of industrial development,
tpvcr his fellow men and sometimes owe the course of GREAT PUB
+IIC EVENTS, like peace r war between nations. 1t enables a man
tbe feared or looked up to. There is pleasure in the satisfaction of d-
recting such a power, and the greater the character the greater may be
the satisfaction. In giving this direction the great capitalist may find
an enjoyable and STRENUOUS OCCUPATION.
FOR A CONSCIENTIOUS, DUTIFuL MAN A GREAT SENSE OF
RESPONSIBILITY ACCOMPANIES THIS POWER. 1T MAY BECOME
so POWERFUL AS TO WIPE OUT THE ENJOYMENT ITSELF.
There are no more successful business enterprises than are those
conducted by remarkably intelligent AUTOCRATS, and probably
the same would be true of governments if any mode
/nmmm\ has been invented of discovering and putting into
NA place DESIRABLE autocrats. The prevailing
.MMNM modes of selection, such as heredity and transmission,
TM M@85 have been sc very unsuccessful that autocracy IS a
\ I&a@ mode of government has fallen into disrepute. In
Nxs&&gsMw business enterprises the existing modes of discovery
and selection of autocrats seem to be better than in
the government, for autocracy in business has been JUSTIFIED BY
RESULTS. ..,. ii
The most serious disadvantage under which the very rich have
labored is the bringing up of children. 1t is well nigh impossible for
a very rich man to develop his children from habits of Indifference
and lazness. These children are 50 situated that they have NO OPP
PORTUNITY of doing productive labor and do nothing for them
selves, parents, brothers or sisters, no one acquiring the habit of
work.
IN STRIKING CONTRAST ARE THE FARMERS CHILDREN, WHO
COOPERATE AT TENDER YEARS IN THE WORK OF THE HOUSE,

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Newark Advertiser:
If the East Orange Board of Edu-
cation would abandon its star cham
Der sessions and transact public bust
ness in the open view of the public
there would be less skepticism of the
good faith Of that body in its an
nounced resembling of The resolution
OF December 6 last, relating to the
segregation of "Afro-American pu-
pills" in the schools. But when the
public is rigidly excluded from the
meetings of the board and the only
knowledge it gets OF the transactions
is tardily and reluctantly filtered
through The censorship Of the super
intendent of schools, there is a rea-
sonable doubt that the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth" is given out.
There is no warrant of law and no
color OF decent excuse for the East
Orange board of education or any
other board Of education, elected Or
appointed to conduct the public
schools, to transact its business in
secret. The public has a right to
know what goes on at the meetings.
1t has a right to know it at first hand,
and the citizens of East Orange
should insist On that right. Star
sessions must go.

Orchard Spraying.

The writer's twenty four acre or.
chard, which has recently come into
bearing will be sprayed for the first
time this year The work will be car
rled on under the supervision of the
Iowa experiment station at Ames, and
the orchard will be handled as an eX-
perimental tract, portion Of which
will be left unsprayed with view TO
serving as a check and demonstrating
the advantage of commercial spraying
We hope to be in shape when the crop
is harvested in the fall to present tab
ulated results. The estimates for the
spraying materials needed for the three
or four treatments are: Copper sui
phate, 900 pounds; acetate of lead, T5
pounds; arsenate of soda, 30 pounds;
paris green, 80 pounds. The second
and third materials mentioned will be
used in the manufacture of arscnute of
lead. one spraying will he given just
after the leaf buds break and before
the blossoms open, second just after
the blossoms fall. For both of these
paris green will be used, as its parti-
cles are heavy and more readily settle
into the tube ut the blossom end of
the apple, where 80 per cent of the
larvae of the codling moth feed before
they enter the core. Two later spray
ings will he given with the arscnate of
lead. the first from fifteen TO twenty
days after the blossoms fall and the
last between the middle of July and
the first of August to prevent the at
tack Of the late brood of codling moths.
With each of the four sprayings men
toned the bordeaux mixture will be
used for the purpose Of guarding
against the fungous diseases. This is
made by dissolving one pound of cop
per sulphate in eleven gallons of water
and adding an equal weight OF stone
lime The arsenate of lead mentioned
is sufficient for two sprayings of 1850
gallons each. or a pound to tifty-seven
gallons of water. The work will be
done with q horsepower sprayer with
a tank of POO gallons capacity. The
spraying is done with the wind, which
reduces the danger to the operator
from the poison spray to practically
nothing. A jumper. overalls, pair OF
gauntlet gloves and broad brimmed
oiled hat complete The outfit. Numer-
Gus instances have come under our no
tice during the past year in which
sprayed orchards in localities where
the practice was not common were the
only ones to bear any marketable fruit.
The time is at hand when, with the
orchard as with every other line OF az
ricultural work it is realized that the |
best possible results are only obtaina-
BILE through the application of the most |
scientific and practical methods.

CoIors Women Should Wear.

No period In woman's life Is quite
so sad as that time when, day by day,
she realizes that her youth Is surely,
even IL slowly, departing, and IL she is
woman deslrous of retaining ii as
long as possible then she must turn
with increased attention to every de-
tail of dressing, more especially in
choosing colors, selecting only those
shades that will be helpful to her.
They must not be too bright and vivid,
or, by contrast. her own will only be
diminished. Again, black, the standby
OF the average middle aged woman, is
still more unkind, for II proclaims
every fading hue and shows up each
line and wrinkle with ruthless hand
and increases fourfold even the faint
est tint of sallowness In the skin.
AS In youth women differ In form
and colorlng 80 they do In middle age,
says the New York Telegram. There
Is the fair and forld woman, the thin
and sallow woman. Another type is
neither stout nor thin, perhaps, but col
orless and faded, and, lastly, the highly
coiored dark woman, whose pink cheeks
have changed to a dull red, too red,
perhaps. for beauty, and whose beautl-
fui dark eyes resemble the brightness
OF beads or shoe buttons rather than
