and ii there is a possibility of a change
in the form of government, the whole
cost would be thrown away. Alder.
man Mowery said some people would
like to have them even as they are
and as the motion did not call for the
expenditure of any money it was
passed.
A petition from one hundred and
twenty horse owners asked that the
proposed new fountain be provided
with a continuous stream of running
water. 1t was stated that the donor
will take such action
A letter from Miss Leddell asked
that the house numbers on Pine street
be Strengthened out, as at pres e ut
there is duplication which causes
considerable confusion. The letter
was referred to the street committee.
Alderman Mowery reported for the
proposed police building that plans
had been secured and estimates solic-
tied from all the contractors residing
in Morr;stown, most of whom had
submitted bids. The total cost of the
building, taking the lowest bids in the
several trades will be SO, ,O40 for a much
better structure than was thought
possible for the money.
Alderman Rutan asked what kind
Of a building it is and was told bv AL
derman Mowery that it was a police
building with room for the board of
alderman. Alderman Rutan said "a
municipal building" and Alderman
Mowery replied that it would be in a
sense. Alderman Rutan then sale,
that he was glad to see an awakening,
that now after year somebody else
sees that it is a good corner for the
purpose. Alderman Mowery declared
that he had always maintained chat
1T is the only location for a building
for the police and had no change of
view.
A recess was then taken for an ex-
animation of the plans for the pro-
posed building. On again coming to
order, Alderman Mowery moved that
a special committee consisting of the
police committee, the chairman of the
lire committee and the Mayor be
authorized to tear down the present
police building and build another
structure. Objection was made to
the form of the motion and one was
made adopting the plans as presented.
Alderman Day wanted to know the
bidders and the amounts of the bids
and after some discussion on motion
OF Alderman Meslar the board went
into executive session for the first
time in many years.
After the public was again admitted
the board laid the matter upon the

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

THE Legislature is on its fourteenth
week and its record for work done is
scarcely up to the average. The
hopes for good legislation which we're
entertained when it began have g~ad-
ually faded away. The wise course
would have been to select certain
classes of legislation such as is really
needed and to have had a conference
between the leading members OF the
two houses on the best way to attain
the desired ends, Instead OF that the
Assembly has been trying to put
things up to the Republican Senate ="
80 form basis for attack during the
coming political campaign, Nothing
for the General good, only few SQUAD
bles for the benefit Of the Democratic
minority and not for the Democrats
generally but for the minority of
these who are anxiously scanning the
political horizon in search of salaried
positions. The measures they pre-
sented lacked originality and many
were inpfacticable. A well digeSted
law that would have created a Rail
road Commission would have been a
good thing and the Legislature would
no doubt have passed it. Such com
mission would have relieved the Leg
islature and the courts of great deal
of work and would have benefited the
people and the railroads. The Demo
Gratis did present a bin providing for
Railroad Commission, but it general
character was such as to lead to the
belief that it was simply an attempt
to put the senate lin a hole and
thereby make political capital for the
next campaign. The work of the ses-
sion has. been left for this week and
hundreds of bills will be dumped on
the Governors desk with request
from the Democratic end Of the Leg
iSlature that he consider them all by
June Is. That is a little less than the
time the Legislature has spent on the
job, and the Assemblymen think he
win be able to get through. Possibly
the Governor may pick out such bills
as he believes ought to be laws, and
after considering them, if he has time,
he may go over some of the others,
but all that are in his hands when the
Legislature returns will probably be
sent back to it. They will all be dead,
and if the Legislature then wants TO
re-enact them it will have to be as
new bills. There are good many
good bills which may get through DUR
ing the crush of this week, but no one
can guess what will be done. The
chances are against good legislation.

In response to a much-expressed de-
sire that he give definite expression
to his views on railroad legislation,
President Roosevelt has announced
plainly where he stands. He declines
to add anything to his previous utter
ances. holding that he has gone over
the ground fully. In support of this
contention he quotes from his MESA
geS to Congress and his speeches. In
the passages he quotes he disavowS
hostility to the roads and proclaims
his opposition to government owner
ship What he does want is "super-
visory and regulatory rights for the
government. He arraigns overcapili-
zation as a. menace TO the public, to
the stockholder ard to the employee
of the road. He particularly points
out that he is not antagonistic to
combination, but wants them to make
their agreements public and in the in
terest Of all the people. He quotes
the words in which he demanded a
square deal one that will be just to
the corporation and to the shipper ;
one that will prevent discrimination
against any individual and at the same
time protect the corporation against
" extremists and reactionaries. He
also endorses. his statement that he
wants the roads to be able to get to-
gether lawfully for the purpose of set
ting rates, but adds that the govern
ment should have the last say as to
the adequacy and justice of the rates.

efficient fire department may not be

Your correspondents further Sug-

so far as possible standardized, and
that there should be a building in
spect0r with full power to see that the
building laws, and proper usage in the
treatment of inflammable materials,
are lived up to, are both admirable
but, as we know from sad experience,
to make the latter effective there must
be revival of civic spirit that will
cause good citizens to combine in open
support of our town authorities.

said that the heartrending grief of

occur in Jersey by making the penalty
as severe as possible. No votes were
recorded against the measure.

linger ranch, in the eastern part of
the county, and enjoyed a coyote
drive, which was not as destructive
as the people of that district hoped
for, as the animals kept out of sight
and only a few were killed. OF late
the coyotes have been killing sheep
pigs and chickens. The scarcity Of
dead animals has caused the coyotes
to invade the ranches and give the
farmer a lot of trouble. AS general
rule, these animals seldom attack
stock, but when driven to starvation
they become bold
1t was with the hope that large
number would be killed that general
invitation was extended to the people
to assemble and make roundup. All
kinds of vehicles, from the old fash
toned top buggy to the latest in au
tomobiles, were in evidence, and many
men appeared on horseback and join

the forenoon and another in the aft
ernoon, lunch being served between
the two trips. Later another effort will
be made to exterminate the trouble

An aged Jersey farmer, visiting a
circus for the first time, stood before
the dromedary's cage, eyes popping
and mouth agape at the strange beast
within. The circus proper began and
the crowds left for the main show,
but still the old man stood before the
cage in stunned silence, appraising
every detail of the misshapen legs,
the cloven hoofs. the pendulous upper
lip and the curiously mounded back
of the sleepy-eyed beast. Fifteen
minutes passed. Then the farmer
turned away and spat disgustedly.
