Corner Tree. Are Delicate.

A man owning corner property
planted three trees, one at the cor
ner, the other two about fifteen feet
down either street. The, trees down
the street thrived, but the one on
the corner withered and finally died.
Again and again the man set out
new trees at the corner, but his eff
forts to beautify that spot failed.
Each tree made a feeble attempt to
take root, but soon gave it up and
followed in the way of IFS predeces-
sors.
sHow do you account for it?'
asked the property owner of an ar
boriculturist. "The soil is good, and
I take excellent care of the trees.
Why do they die~
sI don't know Why" said the ex-
pert, shut it is fact that corner
tree is twice as likely to die as one
in the middle of the block. Look at
all the dwarfed, stunted trees in
New Yorks streets and you will find
that three-fourths of the failures
stand on the corner. New York

ARCHBISHOP WILLIAMS
DEAD IN BOSTON.
Was the Oldest Priest of His Faith in
the United States-Born over
Eighty-five Years Ago.

BOSTON. Mass. Aug 31,-The Most
Rev. JOIN j. Williams, Archbishop Of
the Roman Catholic diocese of Boston.
and the oldest member of the hierarchy
of that faith in America, died at his
home on Union Park. corner of Harri-
son avenue. in this city. at 8 O'Clock
last night. In his eighty-sixth year.
Arbishop williams was taken seri-
ously i'll with stomach trouble early
in the week, just after returning from
a visit OF Lake Hemlock, N. Y, the
summer home of Bishop McQuade. of
the Rochester diocese, but the physi-
clans attending the venerable prelate.
desiring not to cause u-nwarranted
alarm, did not express their fears of his
death until late yesterday afternoon.
Archbishop Williams was born in Bos-
ton April q. 1922 His studies began Mt
the Cathedral parochial school here, were
continued In Montreal and at the Semi
nary OF st. Sulpice In Paris. In the latter
city he was ordained priest In 1916. He
and began his WORK in the priesthood as
Holy Cross. Ten years later he was
made rector. and in another decade he was
made Bishop OF Boston.
In 1875. when the See became metropoli-
tan, he was created archbishop, and as
such he has practically been the spiritual
head or the Roman Catholic Church in
New England. Three years ago his ad-
vancing age made it necessary to have an
assistant appointed. and the Right Rev.
DR.. William II. O'Connell. bishop OF Port
land, Ne, was elevated TO the position Of
,coadjutor archbishop. He will succeed

vention.

PATTERSON, Aug. 31.-It was learned
last night, after all nominating petitions
had been filed with the city clerk, that
Vivian M. Lewis would be the unanimous
choice of Passaic County for the Republi-

cided to make a contest for State dele

held for the first time in Passaic County.
One is TO nominate candidates for Assem-
bly, and the other Freeholders. 1t is be-
lieved the Colby men will capture the As

Rape D BY
REFORMERS
Says No Laws Are
Made Without Corporations
0. K. --MOrgan's Thrust.

r A most enthusiastic New Idea meet
ing was held last night in Boudreau's
Hall, Wainwright street and Nye ave-
nue.. Senator Everett Colby, former
Assemblyman William Fellowes Nor
gan and S. C. Riceway spoke. Former
Assemblyman Gustav Sommers pre-
sided.
Senator Colby spoke o n corporation
influence on legislation at Trenton. He
also briefly referred to the liquor ques-
ton.
In regard to legislative affairs the
Senator said that no bills became laws,
especially those concerning corpora
tions, unless those big combinations
passed their approval on them. Mr..
Colby spoke of the work that the Colby
Assemblymen performed at he Legis-
lature two years ago, in spite of the
corporation influences. There is much
unfinished work to be DONE" said the
Senator. 1.-THE New Idea candidates for
the Assembly are ready to do that
work. You know what their work is
and have the record of our former As
semblymen to guide you in your vote"
Switching to excise matters, Senator
Colby said hat he stood on tho same
platform as Sheriff, Frank FL. Sommer.
He believed in letting the people vote
en- the question irrespective of any in
dividual opinions. That was the bur-
den of his remarks on the excise ques-
ton.
William Fellowes Morgan took up the
plea of the New Idea Assemblymen.
He spoke of the Ubiquitous practise of
smothering bills in committee" saying
that the corporations, through the men
they cause to be elected, may have
every bill they do not desire killed in
the committee meetings.
Mr.. Morgan pointed out "the dangers
of the system" stating that the only
remedy he could see was the election Of
men who are not within the pale of
corporation influence. 1.-THE New Idea
A~ssemblymen are ready to 20 back
to continue the work to which you
elected them two years ago" he said.
Their record stands for itself. You
have simply to look back at it TO know
how to vote"
Following the lead of Senator Colby
on the excise question, Mr.. Morgan
said that tile New Idea candidates were
ready to go to Trenton to favor legis-
lation that would let the people lave
the power of settling the excise prob
lem, as Sheriff Sommer and Senator
Colby have suggested.
