PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT delivered al

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT delivered an
address at the laying Of the corner
stone of the Cape Cod Pilgrims Mem
orial monument at ProvincetoN n,
Mass, on Tuesday, carefully defining
the policy and purposes of the admin.
istration in its campaign against law
breaking corporations and individuals.
The President said that he regarded
this contest as one to determine who
should rule this government--the peo-
pie, through their governmental
agents, or a few ruthless and deter
mined men whose wealth made them
particularly formidable, because they
hid behind the breastwork of corpor-
ate organization. The notable part of
the address was the depression at its
close where the President said:
6 1t is idle to ask me not to prose-
cute criminals, rich or poor. But | de-
sire no less emphatically to have it UNI
derstood that we have undertaken and
will undertake no action of yindic-
tive type, and above all, no action
which shall intiict great or unmerited
suffering upon the innocent stockhold
ers and upon the public as whole
Our purpose is to act with the mini
mum OF harSkneSs compatible with at
tanning our ends. In the man OF greai
wealth who has earned his wealth hon
estly and used it wisely we recogniz,
q good citizen, worthy OF all praise ant
respect. Business can only be done un
der modern conditions through corpor
ationS, and our purpose is to hearth
favor the corporations that do we'll.
The administration appreciate
that liberal but honest profit for legit
innate promoters and generous div
dends for capital employed, either i
founding or continuing an honest bus
ness venture, are the factors necessar
for successful corporate activity, an
therefore for generally proSperou
business conditions.
g All these are compatible with fai
dealing as between man and man an
rigid obedience to The law Our all
is to help every honest man, every hol
est corporation, and our policy NEAR
in its ultimate analysis a healthy an
prosperous expansion OF business acti'
titles, of honest business men and hol
est corporations"
Another feature Of the President
speech was his advocacy of nation
Incorporation law as the best means
controlling wealth engaged in int
state commerce.

THE effect Of the Presidents ad-
dress at Provincetown on Tuesday, was

Obeyed and there will be no prosecu-

REPUBLICAN LEADERS will, it is
said, attempt to have the Strong
County Commission law amended next
winter so that it will be mandatory on
all the counties. That is exactly what
should be done. Hunterdon, Passaic,
Middlesex and Monmouth counties are
each saving many thousands of dollars
year by having their affairs admins
tered by smaller boards, the members
of which are fairly well paid and can
afford to devote the needed time to
the interests of the public.

To IN Property Owners

1t is earnestly desired by the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen
that the property owners have
pipes laid to connect their
buildings while the contrac-
tors are putting in the sewer
mains, both to save expense
to the owners of property
and also for the general
welfare of the community
in avoiding the necessity
of opening the streets at
frequent intervals. The
cost of the work when the
streets are open will be 80 to
so per cent. of the cost to citi-
zens Of Orange, East and West
Orange after the the trenches had
been closed. Il hags.
I. Orders may be left with A.
Costa, Contractor, 68 Speed
well avenue, or with his agent
who will call on property
owners.

Cominu-HPanaman

The new melOdrama Panama, q
tale of the great canal which is to
be produced at the opera house next
Tuesday, Sept. 10, not only shows
the principal features in the construc-
tiOn of the canal, by means of ingen-
ious mechanical apparatus and mag
nificent scenery, but tells a delight
ful story of love and ambition.
A rising young American engineer
falls desperately in love w t h q
young orphan girl whose charm OF
youth and innocence makes one for
get her lack of education. A Span
lard who stands high in official cir
cles. makes it his business to frus-
tIate and ruin the engineers work
on the canal, as well as to make an
effort to win the young girl away
from him, but true love triumphs in
theend and villainy gets it's just desert.
Bright witty lines, clean, wholesome
comedy, and real American energy
and life go to make panama" one
of the most pleasing of the recent
new plays and should be seen to be
appreciated.

Water Works TO BE Renovated

A recent meteorological examination
of our city water made by Prof. H. L..
Russell of the State Hygienic Labora-
tory, shows that the city water is un-
fit for drinking without first being
boiled, and the board of health have
issued a notice warning water users.
Two samples of water were sent to
Madison for examination, one taken
from the we'll and the other from a
faucet in the State Bank building.
The report shows that in some way
the water becomes contaminated after
leaving the well, and the water COM
mittee are busy giving the system an
overhauling.
