N. I. SOUTHERN CANAL

Mr.. Waiter Y. Kemper, OF
Franklin, 10 response to a call of
the board of commissioner of the
n. |. Southern Drainage District,
came up in last Monday and went
out to the dredges for the purpose
Of taking up the accomplished
work. He found and reported to
the commissioners that the con-
tractors had failed to meet the
demands of the specifications in a
few instances.
The top width of the canal was
not complained of, but the grade of
the walls showed too mach varla-
ton. This was due to giving too
much grade in the upper part of
opening and then cutting the walls
too PERCEPTIONS in the lower parts.
The width Of the canal should
be q feet on the water line. In
some places he found a greater
width, while in others he found a
deficiency varying from one to
three feet.
The contract depth of the canal
when finished is to be 6 feet be-
low mean tide. It Is q little diff
ficult to give positive information
on this point in the absence of a
reliable bench mark. He is, how
ever, Of the opinion that certain
places of the bottom have not
been carried to the proper depth.
These observations were all
made in that section of the canal
north of the F. and A. Il. H., be.
ing cut by the land dredges.
Mr.. Kemper expressed the opin
on that very close adherence
% the specifications should be re-
luired for the remainder OF the
work, to be accomplished by the
and dredges, especially in the
natter of the walls. There ia
ONE evidence Of q disposition to
airing, even now, where the
walls stand 10 feet above the wa.
or line. When the wall reaches
n altitude Of 16 feet, they must be
by every advantage
,iven by the specifications, other
vfse serious troubles are liable to
levelop. He even thought that it
night be wise to sacrifice q few
inches of the bottom width for
be sake of q less steep grade of
be walls above the water line III
be deeper cuts, provided such an
could be effected with
be contractors. Ii

his schooolboy days, through his artistic
training and his unfortunate marriage with
pretty, insipid Rosey Mc1<inzie and her
conflicts with her domineeriug mother. the
old "campaigncr.' his release owing to the
death Of Rosey. and his final happiness in
his union with his cousin, Ethel Newcome.
The real hero of the book is Clive's father,
the old Indian colonel, who returns home
from India to enjoy his fortune in leisure
with his son, relatives and friends. He is
made the victim OF financial charlatans and
sacrifices every penny to cover the losses
of those who had entered the Bundelcund
Bank on account of his influence. Colonel
Neweome is one Of the greatest characters
in all fiction; the personification of gener-
osity. gentleness and sweetness, The most
powerful and pathetic scene in the novel Is

MAN AT 70 IN PRIME,
CARNEGIE DECLARES


Mr.. Carnegie pointed to opposite
sides of the study where were en-
blazoned in letters of gilt:
Thine own reproach alone do fear"
All is well since all grows better"
Mr.. Carnegie was asked: when is
mans usefulness ,ripest?'
when he has attained to the high
est degree of perfection Of which he is
capable" was the reply. This means
that If he conserves his physical and
mental powers he will be ripest when
he has attained long life. At 70 l am
convinced that mans usefulness in
creases with age. kindness between
man and man is showing a broadening
tendency. 1t undoubtedly is not given
to man to explain why sickness and
poverty and sin are necessary in his
order of things. 1t has not been ex-
planned to us why the law of evolution
obtains, providing that the higher
forms Of life live upon the lower And
since it is not given to us to under
stand, it is better that We bow our
heads in recognition of the mandate:
Thy will be done.'"

NEW YORK. Nov. 2s-Hale and
hearty in spite of his seventy years,
Andrew Carnegie, standing beside a
table piled with messages of congratu-
lation on his birthday, gave a rule for
happiness. The rule was this:
ITO obey the judge within. and make
others happy.
"If the judge within gives you a
clean verdict, we have no other judge
to fear here or hereafter.
But after satisfying that judge,
above all else the way to be happy is
to make others happy"
Can a man accomplish as much at
seventy as at forty2" he was asked.
More, bless you, more" replied Mr.
Carnegie. CAN things being equal,
mans efficiency is increased at 70. He
is equipped with greater experience.
The world is growing better, and it
follows that the men in it grow better
as they grow older.
Il have here on my wall two rules
which young men should bear in
mind

REAL FISH AND GAME PROJECTION.

It should be the duty of the Legis-
lature next winter to make genuine
reform in the matter of fish and gone
in this State. The last Legislature
merely changed the personnel of the
commission and increased the official
expenses, so that it will cost So in
salaries to protect every 81 worth Of
wild game in the State. 1t is unneces-
dollar for fish AMI game protection,
and without cost a vastly better pro-
teetive system can be established, a.
system that will be self-sIstaiuing
The salaries TO be paid under the new
commission net will amount to $22,7OO
As the appropriation is about $25,00O
there will be just $1,000 left for stock
ing, about in the proportion of Fal-
staff's "a pennyworth of bread and gall
Ion of sack"
There never has been any real pro-
lection Of fish and game in this State,
and there never will be under the same
clumsy and expensive system. Men of
the rod and gun fully recognize that
fact and they propose to bring about
a salutary change II possible. With
the cooperation of the true sportsmen
OF the State a system of protection
can be established without any cost
IL
There are thirty-nine gun clubs, five
fish and game associations, league
of American Sportsfaen and the Audu-
bon Society," all of which will collabo-
ratio for reform. Every member of
these organizations is willing to pay
a 81 license fee. There would be OBJ
tained not less than 1000 from Ii
censes at 81 each and a large number
of nonresident licenses at $40 each.
The two thousand members of the as
scciations could be made wardens
without pay or expenses and the law
could provide that one-half of the fines
should go to the State and one-half to
the treasury of the clubs and associa-
tions The State could pay salaries to
q half-dozen wardens, regular war
dens, who would not be restricted in
any particular territory.
A commission could be created to
consist of the principal officers of tho
gun clubs, the fish and ga.fne associa-
tions. the sportsmen's league and the
Audubon Society to serve without sal
ary. BY this plan large amount of
money would be available for stocking
purposes. AS for fish, the State can
get an abundant supply of all varieties
of fish fry from the Federal Govern
ment without money and without price,
the fish being delivered by the govern
nent Enough can be obtained to
stock every lake and stream in New
Jersey. This is a subject that is going
to be agitated in a way to produce
some results at the next legislative
session.

THE NEW REGIME AT THE STATE
HOSPITAL.

With the advent of the new medical
director there is assurance that the
State Hospital for the Insane will be
redeemed from the evil reputation given
1t by the old management that was re-
moved after the scandalous revelations
of the Hahn Investigation. Already DR..
Cotton has shown his capacity for the
task of wiping out the incompetent and
negligent methods in vogue for SO many
years by prompt and radical reforms in
his own particular sphere of action.
and the new warden is cooperating by
improvements about the buildings.
Backed by his former experience, the
energy DIR. Cotton is displaying will
soon result in bringing the institution
in which so many unfortunates are
cared for up to the standard bef1tting
its purpose and the State. The new
policy doing away with unnecessary re-
straint will require q greater number
Of nurses and the Legislature may be
looked to for proper provision to sup
ply all needs. The institution is a hos
pital for the treatment of the sick and
not penal colony. 1t must hereafter
be hospital in fact and not in name
only, and that the new medical director
is determined to make it.

Henry e. Dixey was talking about the
terrific fight that occurred recently on an
Atlantic liner between two fat and elderly
poker players.
ut seems said Mr.. Dixey. with smile,
that the first man lost 1900 to the second

"a tenderfoot once visited Tin Can and
watched with interest the poker play.
From saloon to saloon he passed. Every
thing was wide open and very gay and
lively.
'But as he looked on at poker game
that had no limit the tenderfoot suddenly
frowned. He had seen the dealer slip him
self four aces from the bottom of the
pack.
Gracious powers, whispered the ten
derfoot, excitedly clutching the sleeve of
the man next him, did you notice that?'

Would Revive Ancient stntutc.

1t is proposed in the London Times that
the ancient statute of "deodand' be re-
vived in order to help those injured by
motor cars. "Deodand" means, literally,
to be given to God" and the original
idea was that any inanimate object caus-
ing the death of human being was to be
sold and the proceeds disbursed in charity
In practise the sum so realized was always
handed over to the next of kin of the per-
son killed. If cart ran over child and
killed it the vehicle was forthwith sold and
the parents of the little victim received
the proceeds of the sale. The only draw
back to the scheme was that the object
causing death might be comparatively
valueess. 1t was this inequality which
was manly responsible for the abolition
of the statute of deodand in 1876. In 1898
the widow of a man killed by an engine on
the Liverpool and Manchester line was
awarded ''deodand" to the extent of its
value and there are other instances of even
later date.

THE srRENerH OF THE ARMY.

Reasons for the prevalence Of deser-
tions and the falling off of enlistments
in the army have been made familiar
through various official reports. Adj
jutant-General Ainsworth's report to
the Secretary of War reiterates them
and shows that there has not been inn
provement enough in the last year to
make any appreciable difference or to
offer much encouragement in the near
future. Desertions have fallen off
little, but enlistments do not increase.
The important point is the remedy for
such conditions, and the burden of this
is put squarely up to Congress.
The low rate of pay compared with
that obtaining in civil life. which keeps
young men out and helps make them
discontented after they are in, can only
be remedied by Congressional legisla-
ton The restoration of the canteen,
abolished through unreasontng clamor
and resulting in vast increase of the
very evils which it pretended to cure,
can only be obtained by act of Con-
gress, and that Congress, in the face of
almost unanimous official reports from
army officers of all grades. has neg
lected TO do If Congress will attend
to these important duties it will so far

the army below its needed strorsth by

Samuel Gompers went into New Eng

to oppose the reelection of two Con-
gressmen who had voted against a bill
favored by Gompers. Both candidates
were elected. Mr.. Gompers is now op-
posed to Secretary Taft for the Presi-
Dental nomination. But it has been
demonstrated over and over again that
the so-called Tabor vote" is not car
ried in any mans vest pocket, and that
workingmen cannot be segregated and
voted in elections as a class apart.
