OUR RAILROAD
FACILITIES
And What Should be Done BY
Our Local Business Men
to Aid Improvement.
HOME ME-SPIRITED POLICY NEEDED

1t has been suggested that the mer-
chants of the town make an effort to
secure the extension of the N. J. q Pa.
r. r. from the present terminus at
Whatnong to Speedwell avenue. AS
reported several weeks ago, estimates
have recently been secured for this
work and a change in the bonds is
under way to secure the end desired.
Such an extension and the elimination
of the present stage ride should help
the business of the railroad as well as
the store keeper. A midday train is
also suggested as an added incentive
for persons living between Morristown
and White House to come to Norris
town to do their trading. The further
extension of the road to Pennington
would do still more to increase the
usefulness of the line.
The same request for more trains
would be a business advantage 10 Nor
ristownif presented to the Morristown
& Erie r. r. and many sales might be
made as a result of added service.
Such increases in train service and
extension of facilities would mean con-
siderable extra expense to the owners
of the roads, while the added business
from a passenger standpoint might be
.problematical. T he owners might.
with good reason, ask what the business
men of Morristown will do to help the
finances of the road. Freight service
has always been more or less attractive
that way because of the wagon deliv-
cry in connection with it, although a
burden to the railroad, but with the
coming to Speedwen avenue that feat
ure would undoubtedly be dropped and
merchants be oblig d to go to the
freight house for goods as is the case
with the other roads.
If the merchants of the town expect
that they will be helped by increased
service on the part of smaller railroads
which reach the nearby towns and
villages they must in turn do their
share toward the support of the rail
roads and not say when asked to do
business over them that old company
has improved it's SERVICE" or "your
rates are no lower than the old COM
pany,'' or what advantages do you
Offer but buckle in and help out those
who are bringing in the trade which
the merchants want.
Morrissown to develop its country
trade should see that facilities are al
so provided for the man who drives in.
He will not come many times if there
is no place to tie his horse, or if he
finds that he cannot get reasonable
price for his produce, but will go where
he can find such things. He must be
treated fairly. Morristown should
have q place reasonably near the stores
where horses can be cared for away
from the automobiles and other dis
fractions and should provide one or
more public comfort houses for the
convenience not only of the visitors to
town, but residents as well. Some Of
the cheaper land near the Park could
well be acquired to provide these ac-
commodations.

LANNING SENTENCED TODAY.
Pleaded Guilty to Forgeries on the
Federal Trust Company.


George M. Lanning, Of Florham
Park against whom two complaints
of forging and uttering notes were
made by the Federal Trust Company
several days ago, promptly pleaded
guilty before Judge Ten Eyck in the
Court of Special Sessions at Newark
on Monday and will be sentenced to-
day. Although the two complaints
cover only S1l, 200, it is well known
that the total extent of his defalca-
tions amounts to SOL 900. The money
was lost in the maelstrom of Wall
street.
| Immediately after Lanning had
pleaded, former Senator Michael T..
Barrett, his counsel, made a brief but
eloquent plea for mercy.
81 can truthfully say" he said,
'tthatthis case is not one of wine and
women. My client is good father
and true husband. He had the re-
spect of every person who knew him.
He was former postmaster of the bor-
ough where he resided, graduated from
Princeton and lived in this State all
his life.
Eight or nine years ago he invest
ed quite a large amount Of money in a
speculation and risked moneys that
| did not belong to him. In his own
language this world has been "a living
hell to him all these years, and the
only night he had rest since then
was when he was taken to police head
! quarters and locked up. He fell an6
was caught.
"In his case the disgrace and the
| fact that he goes to State Prison, anC
! his suffering in trying to cover up his
mistake, have made his life a miser
able one. ask the court for clemency.

them and also double bonded, both
these operations having caught up
with the track laying Rails and ties

Make something that is just a lit
tie bit better than anybody else makes,
and mankind will come to your work
shop, although it may be located in
a forestl
We have realized the truth of this
hackneyed expression, for more and
more is it true that when somebody in
New York or Maine or California or
Louisiana wants particularly fine
piano, the local dealer is apt to say,
then you had better have Lauter."
The real truth is that we are making
pianos of such extremely fine quality
as to attract the discriminating in all
parts of the country, and our whole
trade is increasing by leaps and bounds.
This is merely supplementary to
our vast retail business in our numer-
Gus warerooms throughout New Jer-
sey. At retail, as at wholesale, pur-
chasers in our home state, who appre-
ciate superlatively good quality, insist
upon having Lauter Piano. This
instrument grows in prestige and
artistic standing with the years.

We unhesitatingly affirm that in uni

matter is confirmed by countless ex-
pert Judges.

"A Humane Employer.

Although large employer of men,
many of whom are with him only tenn
porarily, Mr.. Costa, the sewer contrac-

at all times, and feels keenly when an
accident happens. This is shown by
his actions in the case of the unfor-

by the caye-in last week. Mr. Costa
gave the remains proper burial, had
mass said for the repose Of his soul,
and is taking means to have the insur-

Italy, from the casualty company,
sent direct without charge. He has al
so given his check for S25 to All Souls
