In another column of this issue will
be found a notice of the recent forma-
tion in Morristown Of a branch Of the
Navy League Of the United States, TO
be called Admiral Radford Section.
1t would seem especially fitting that
Morristown should have section of
this Navy League, and that an inland
place, where so many distinguished
officers have lived and died, should
have medium through which it can
keep their memories alive. We learn
from one Of the officers that it is the
intention to ask our citizens to furn.
ish the Section with any data, which
may lead to historical and local infor-
nation, concerning the Navy in
Morristown; y and we hope that many
win avail themselves Of this oppor-
tunity.

THE Democratic platform, with
which the 9 Banner says Mayor Reed
Is in hearty sympathy, sets forth that
their ticket :" should command the sup
port of all independent citizens who
are DESTROYS of thorough investiga-
tion of existing conditions and the APP
plication of adequate remedies to the
evils acknowledged to exist" Inor-
der to know just what evils were in
existence we have referred to the mes
sage that the Mayor, following the ex-
ample of his Industrious predecessor,
addressed to the Board Of Aldermen
at the beginning Of the year. 1t was
lengthy document and contained not
the slightest hint of conditions Of evil.
1t showed balance of $4,000 with a
suggestion that it be used for mnnic-
ipal building "a wise suggestion we
think but it did not meet with pub
lie favor and the $4,000 remains an
ASSET. 1t suggested better streets and

be secured without increasing the in
debtedness Of the town, but there was
no hint the streets we're suffering from
neglect because the street commission
er was too busy looking after his pri-
Vate contracts or that the town was
not getting value received for street
lighting. 1t called attention to the
dirty streets and suggested Improve
ment which, thanks to an energetic
Republican chairman of the street
committee and street commissioner
who gives his entire time to his du-
ties, have been brought about as every
observing citizen is ready to testify.
He urged the hearty cooperation of
all town officials, but as with one ex-
Ception the old officials hold over there
is no marked change in that respect.
Let some Democrat give us bill Of
particulars.

TO ABOLISH RIPARIAN BOARD
Lands May Be Pint in Care of school
Money Custodians.

While the work of the joint legisla-
tive committee investigating the
workings Of the riparian board has
not been finished, it is known that
one of the first bills put in the legis-
lature next January will be one to
abolish the present board, and it is
likely that in its place the care Of
riparian lands will be put in the hands
Of the cnstodians of the State school
fund, who are the governor, the State
treasurer, State comptroller, secre-
tary of State and attorney general.
1t is pointed out that the riparian
board has not made enough Of the
riparian lands and the State school
fund has been depleted instead of aug
mented by bad leases and questionable
grants, while the custodians of the
school funds have been unable to con
troll the Investment Of these lands
where they would bring the greatest
return to the State school fund, to
which fund all riparian lands are
| pledged by the constitution.
Men conversant with the workings
ofthe riparian board readily see that
with the control of these lands in the
hands Of the custodians Of the State
school fund better business methods
willTesult and there will be she saw
ing of the $4,000 yearly salaries paid
to the riparian commissioners, for Che
new bill will put the burden Of ad.
ministering the riparian lands on the
Fcustodians of the State school funds
without extra compensation.
/ The present riparian board consists
of the Governor, William Cloke, Tren
ton Robert Williams, Paterson John
Y r. Reynolds, Trenton, and Michael
Mclaughlin, Newark. Their commits
sions expire 1909 and it viii take az
act Of the Legislature to get them out
of office.
The members Of the joint commit
tee are a unit that the present metho6
Of handling riparian lands should bt
abolished and the placing Of such
matters in the hands Of the custo
dams Of the State school funds il
looked upon with favor BY many O
them. 1T is matter for free dis
cussion, said q State leader Wednes
day one which everybody desiring
the best method Of conserving til,

light on.

A New Feature in the Uplifting Work
of Morristowu.

A New Feature in the Uplifting WQrl
OF Morristowu.
This is the name of an institution
which it is proposed to open on Flag
Ter street.
There is to be comfortably fur
nished social-room, where papers anG
magazines in Italian and English shall
be kept on file and where various
games shall be supplied
Glasses are to be maintained fol
teaching reading and writing III IEng-
fish and stereopticon lectures IRE tC
be given. Physical culture is TO be
taught and bathrooms with inexpen-
sive shower-bat provided. Good
citizenship, cleanliness. temperance
and law abiding habits are TO be
taught by words and example, anc
the aim Of the work will be to create
a pure and intelligent social atmos
phere.
This work is inaugurated by the
Young Mems Christian Association
but is to be entirely free from relig.
ious bias. While infused with the
Christian spirit and making its ap-
peal to the religious people Of every
name, it is recognized that religious
instruction is amply provided for in
Morristown by the various churches
and missions and religious services are
therefor not part Of the work of this
institution. It's work is to be social
moral and educational on lines which
will appeal to all alike without re
gard to their church preferences.
The Italians of Morristown are in
the main thrifty and industrious
element in the community. They are
responsive to any effort in their be-
half and greatly appreciate whatever
interest is shown in their welfare.
But they are liable to be misled by
the teachers of a dangerous type d
socialism and unless they can be
brought under intelligent and eleyat-
ing influences they are sure to become
a serious menace to the community.
Anumber Of Italians have expressed
great pleasure upon hearing of the
proposed plan and their willingness to
pay regular monthly fee for the ben
eft of :" The Institute. Rooms have
already been secured and a number OF
contributions have been sent in
About 81 800 will probably be needed
the first year. Subscriptions may be
sent to d M. Claghorn, the secretary
and treasurer. 1t is hoped that the
great Importance of this work viii
lead all our citizens to share practl,
cal interest in its success. The com
mittee can not open the rooms unit
$500 is subscribed and they earnestly
appeal for further contributions.

Presides at Newark Meeting ADJ
dressed by Notable Men.
United States Senator John f. Dry
den made his first public appearance
ia his campaign for reelection at a
mass meeting at the Kruger Audito-
rum, Newark, last night. The occa-
sion was the formal opening of the
Essex county campaign, and Mr.. Dry
den presided. Representative James
A. Tawney, Of Minnesota, was the
principle speaker, and addresses were
made by Senator John Kean, Of New
Jersey ex-senator Thurston, of Ne
braska Representative r.. Wayne
Parker and Henry j. Gottlob, candi-
dates in the 7th and sth Congress dis
tricts, and by Walton S. Howarth,
Mayoralty nominee.
Mr.. Dryden's speech was devoted to
the record of the last Congress and
the tariff. He declared that there
was no brighter page in American leg
islatiye history than that made in the
last session, when powers Of the Con-
stitution that had lain dormant since
it was written were brought into use
and exercised for the benefit of the
whole people.
New Jersey $ position on the issue
of the tariff, Mr.. Dryden said, was on
the side Of the protective policy of the
Republican party. as the State is geo
graphically, historically and tradition
ally wall against any attempt to
tear down the American policy of pro-
lection. The cry for Tariff revision
was characterized by the Senator as
an insidious attack upon the whole
system of protection with the ulti-
mate purpose Of overthrowing the
policy Of protection.

MAYOR REED RE-EOMIUATED.

The Democrats Vote To Investigate Eek

The Democratic city convention was
held in the vacant store, IA Washing

while Irving =. Salmon was the sec
Rotary. Nominations for mayor we're
called for and E. a. Fleury named
Charlton A. Reed. No other name
was presented and he was declared the
unanimous choice of the convention,
and Messrs. Fleury, Arrowsmith and
Salmon, were appointed a committee
70 apprise him of bis nomination
Mr.. Freeman said he had served two
terms with Mr.. Reed and knew him
we'll He was certain that he could
be elected. He has not asked for re-
nomination, in fact, would rather re-
tire. He is honest, straightforward,
/ firm, you can always tell where he is.
During his administration an indebt-
edhess has been wiped out and there is
a balance 10 the treasury of $40, 900.
He is entitled to the support of all
Democrats.
Mr.. Salmon said that the nominee
had had all the honor that there is in
the Office while the work sometimes
takes him out of tie Office for half
day at time, time that he cannot af-
/
ford to spare. yet he is willing to give
his time for the benefit of the town.
If the Republicans can find better
man than Mr.. Reed for the Office he
said all should supportsuch a man, but
he had serious doubts. If he is defeat
ed it will mean population of his adj
ministration. He reminded his hear
ers that it is not a spring election but
every effort must be made.
The platform adopted by the con
vention is as follows:
The Democratic party presents to
the suffrage of the citizens of Morris
town a complete congressional, coun-
ty and municipal ticket, the charac-
ter of which should demand the sup
port of all Independent citizens who
are DESTROYS of thorough investigar
ton of conditions and the application
Of adequate remedies to the evils &C
kLowledged to exist.
We deprecate the expenditure for
current expenses Of the fund Of S1O,-
600, saved and set aside by a previous
Democratic administration for speci-
fic purposes and demand that it be
spent in a way to permanently bene-
fiji the town.
We pledge our municipal nominees,
Il, elected, to establish a modern sys-
tenn of municipal street lighting
throughout the entire town by enter
ing into contract with any compa-
ny that will offer the most favorable
terms.
We advocate the extension Of troll
ley lines into the country and that
in granting of franchises the inter
ests of the town be safeguarded
We urge the building of sewers,
and the continuation of the Demo
cratic policy established years ago of
improving the streets as speedily as
possible by a wise economy in all de-
partments Of the town government
and without mourning bonded in
debtedness TO rthat purpose.
We demand the enforcement Of all
laws that would direct particular at
tention to the laws affecting the good
government Of the town and regulat-
ing the use of the streets.
