The stirring up of the Standard
Oil matter has had some very far
reaching results. Commissioner
Garfield says that rebates were
so ingeniously granted by rail
roads that competitors often did
not know of them although they
could not get fair treatment. Now
for the first time many of the
shippers of oil say they are rapid
ly obtaining equality of treatment
from transportation companies.
The railroads have desisted from
their former practice of granting
rebates to the Standard Oil and
Independent companies are hav-
ing a chance.

Jeremiah Curtin, the great lin

had done a great work as a trans

climes into English. He died in
Bristol, VT, where he has spent
the summers for many years and
where he was compelled to remain
over the autumn and into the win

tened itself upon him. The most
known of his TRANSACTIONS is his
Quo Vadis, which ranks with Ben
Hur, as portrayal of the early
Christians experiences.

common malVels of the age which
instructed as well as entertained.

Another bill approved by the
governor is one prohibiting the
careless distribution of drugs,
medicine and chemicals about the
streets. This is really an impOr-
tant bill since so many drugs and
patent medicine companies make
a practice of throwing in at the
doorways, sample packages of all
kinds of drugs. These, lying about
the walks and piazzas, are very
liable to fall into some child's
hands and being mistaken for
candy, eaten, sometimes with dire
results. 1t is a senseless and dan
gerous practice.

The legislature is over for two
years. 1t has accomplished much
and it has also done some foolish
things, but freak legislation can
not be eliminated from state legis
latures. In the main it has been
a working legislature, and it has
uncovered some graft and in no
Uncertain tone spoken its mind
and set in motion the wheels to
correct the evil. Although graft
has been uncovered, we can still
thank God we are not as some

Changes in the New Timetable.
There are runnors of few changes
in the Lackawanna timetable about
the first of December. Some radical
changes are needed in the evening
schedule. A rapid train to New York
is needed to leave for New York 500 i
after six o'clock and fast train back,
leaving New York about quarter to
twelve. It is a long wait from $40 to
SAT to get train, particularly If it is
desired to attend an entertainment in
the city and the train arrangements
after the 8.15 here could all be revised
for the convenience Of Morristown
residents.
It is said that several Roseville runs
will be added to the schedule TO re-
lieve the other trains of the pressure
of the Newark business, which is
greatly increasing The table will
also rearrange runs somewhat in order
to bring the crews within the ten
hour day which has just been granted.

her son, Stephen S. Day, in Norris
town. Mrs. Day is now in her ninety
second year having been born April
81, 1915. She owns the place where
she was born and where she has al
ways lived. The property is tract
of land purchased by her grandfather,
Joseph Crane in 1854 and which fell to
her father by will. 1t is not strange
that she is reluctant to leave the
pretty home that she has enjoyed for
over ninety years and the property
which has been family possession for
nearly a century and half, But she
feels now that her age and feebleness
are too great to permit her to ever
again return to the old place and She
expects to spend her remaining days
with her sons in Morristown.
