SENSATIONAL articles for newspapers are
always to be regretted and Burlington
county seems to have had. its share of ii
recently. Especially has this been the
case in the Jefferson murder reports, and
Mayor Rue, of Burlington, and Prosecutor
Atkinson have felt very much annoyed at
some of the stories printed. The latter
says the reports sent in by the local report
ers haye hampered him to great degree.
1t is said that the reporters, when re-
monstrated with, have replied that unless
saaiT reports were full of interesting, spicy
the writer would be replaced by
ON " no would work the tales up to the
top notch. In the matter of reports on
tax assessments in this county some of the
stories were entirely one-sided and
tended to cast reflection not only on the
tax system but also on the County Board
of Taxation. At a meeting in Mount
Holly, the reporter of the oldest news
paper in Philadelphia was present and In
conversation on the subject he defended
himself on the ground that he was sent
out with instructions to write Just as he
had on the subject. When asked why he
did not be fair and give opinions not SO
biased and show some of the good that
has been done his reply was that he was
old to write otherwise. Perhaps this is
sobut it's hard to believe that any paper in
Philadelphia has reached such level as
to send instructions to reporters to write
up sensation without regard to truth.

THREE men are In the Burlington coun-
ty jail suspected of being complicated in
the murder of Edward 8. Jefferson In
Burlington on, November 81. The appre-
hension was through the efforts of detec-
tives, but there the story has to halt, for
there have been more Estate, " county
and other detectives than were generally
supposed to be in existence, and If these
men are the parties needed, there will be
some difficulty In dividing the rewards
offered In connection with the arrests.
There ought to be some system whereby
the Prosecutor of the Pleas would have the
right to engage detectives that are to his
views, desirable to put ON cases of
this character. The local amateur men,
who travel from place to place with an
air of great importance and with little to
back it and tell what little they do know,
are hardly the fellows to depend upon
when actual work is required. The de-
tectives engaged should be men who
would work for the salary that was prom
ised without regard to reward from the
city or county authorities. Country con-
stables are not fitted for effectual detec-
tive work, and there is always so much
jealousy among them that they retard
rather than perfect the task they under
take

TRENTON is now having siege of ty-
phoid fever. When this disease made its
appearance at Roebling and at Burlington
the Trenton people laughed at the idea
that the Delaware river could be held re.
sponsiDle, at least so far as sewage con-
tamination from that city was concerned,
evidently overlooking the fact that ty-
phoid fever had been prevalent at the in
sane asylum and that there was every rea-
son to believe that the river was polluted
by the drainage from the state capital
Why that city should just begin to be af-
flicted is not explainable, but it is certain
that the water from the river Delaware is
not safe for drinking purposes without
being boiled. Burlington citizens are
righteously indignant over the water
that is being supplied them for drinking
purposes. In addition to its being abso-
lutely unfit for that purpose it is also I'M
desirable for even washing. The writer
saw two samples recently. one was as
1t was drawn from the faucet, the other
had been boiled. The difference was i'm
perceptible. This is not strictly new
state of affairs for that city Yearly there
has beena condition of the water which
indicated that the spring freshets caused
dust and sitting from the mines to pollute
the Delaware. With each of these occur
rences the authorities would discuss with
great ardor the installation of flteripg
plant, but when the water cleared the en-
thusiasm would wane. The position was
like the old colored man who was found
one day in hut, the roof of which was
leaking like sieve. When asked why he did
not remedy the evil he said he could not
do it while the rain was falling. Then he
was asked why he did not make the repairs
on the first clear day, and he replied that
when it was clear the roof did not leak.
But the situation in Burlington is becom-
ing serious. A great number of typhoid
fever cases are reported and when it is
known that the Board of Health of Tren-
ton has traced the source to the sewage
from above that city and when the fact
that Roebling has had an epidemic of ty-
phoid fever it is not surprising that the
res dents of Burlington think it high time
something was done for their relief
N my of them, In addition to paying water

THE project to build gravel road be-
tween Browns Mills and Lakehurst is
again being agitated, and this time the
matter is being considered in way that
leads to the impression that something
will be done. Ocean county, which will
have the largest proportion of the road to
construct, is highly in favor of the idea,
and will take steps to get the work started
as soon as possible. The proposition is a
good one and meets with general favor
from all who are acquainted with the
country through which the road will run
and the benefits that will accrue from its
being built 1t will open highway from
Atlantic City to Long Branch and the re-
sorts along the eastern coast Of this state.
and will be of great value to the country
between. 1t is thought the cost of con-
straction can be kept down to a very mod
crate figure as there is plenty of material
along the line. making easy and cheap
hauls. 1t is hoped the Burlington County
Board of Freeholders will take hold OF
this project and aid In its early compile
ton.
JUDeINe from the reports from different
parts of the state grand iuries are receiv
ing special charges on the subject Of
illegal liquor selling. The question Of
local option is being agitated and those
opposed to the liquor traffic are giving
earnest attention to the subject. In this
county there have already been warnings
sent to hotel and saloon keepers who have
not paid as strict attention to the law al
they might possibly have done, and Others
will be given hints that it will be well td
heed. As THE News has said before II
does not believe the time has come fol
local option laws to be enacted in thii
state. although states all around us are
taking up the subject. New Jersey has
laws sufficient to control the question and
if they are observed there will not be any
need for action by the authorities or any
call for legislation on the subject. 1t IL
all up to the man who has the license
The trouble all over the state is that there
are SO many who are granted the privi
lege to conduct the liquor business. tina
it is necessary sometimes for them tt
wink at little violations.

Mount Holly's citizens became incensed
ever the condition of the water supplied
them an indignation meeting caused i'm
provement that soon bettered the supply.
FoR SOME time it has been the custom
In Ocean county for the county Judge to
allow fees to lawyers assigned to defend
prisoners on minor charges The law
does not recognize any such compensation
except in cases of manslaughter. Judge
Hendrickson, last week, threw bomb in
to the legal camp of that county by an
nouncing that he would ask the Prose
cutor of the Pleas and the Attorney Cen
eral to institute proceedings to disbar
members of the bar who owe the county
money on the account above mentioned
and who have not yet made restitution.
He gave the lawyers until the first of jan
uary to pay up Undoubtedly there will
arise question on the statute of limita-
lions in this matter, as the lawyers
will not give up the cash without a
struggle. Judge Hendrickson also urged
suits to recover money that the expert ac-
countant declared was due from many
officials who had overcharged for their
services. The Judge was in earnest when
he instituted an investigation into affairs
in Ocean county and he evidently does
not propose to have any whitewash ap-
piled now. His efforts will be applauded
by every good citizen as they will be re-
cognized as an indication that evils in
public life must be abolished.
ADvIoEs from Washington are to the
effect that President Roosevelt has en-
phatically reiterated his statement made
right after his election that he would not
be candidate for reelection. For some
time there have been discussions on this
question and there were those who in
clined to the belief that the President was
not sincere or that he would be compelled
to bow to the public demand that he con-
tinue in the high position in which he has
been OF so much value to the nation.
Those who took the latter stand thought
the President should make a public de-
claration of his intention and confirm his
statement of three years ago. Mr.. Roose-
velt evidently was of this mind for he has
said he will not. under any circumstances.
be candidate. Therefore that part of
the proposition Is settled and removed far
enough In advance of the actual campaign
as to leave no chance to insinuate that the
announcement was withheld in the inter-
est OF any candidate. 1t is also said that
the President did not feel very kindly
over the fact that he was not taken at his
word, and wondered why there should be
any doubt on his statements, but then he
should not mind little thing like that,
especially when it is remembered how
many people have come under his obser
walton as unworthy of belief.
