FIRE CHIEF BAKER is
FAvORABLY IMPRESSED
Idea of Having Telephone Switch
board for Alarms Endorsed as
Practicable for Local Service.

Chief Baker, Of the fire depart
ment, said this morning that he is
favorably impressed with the idea of
having q central fire alarm station
located in the police station. He e
poets Il communicate with the au-
thorities at Bridgeton, where a sim
liar service is in operation at the
present time. Chief Baker says he
does not think that the system would
cost very much and as five new boxes
are needed at the present time. the
cost of installing them would nearly,
If not more than pay for the work.
Alarms for many of the fires that
occur here are run in by the police
and in most cases they are notified
by telephone. On Saturday when a
fire was discovered in the residence
of Mrs. f. ]. B. Kelly, on Rector
street, the police were notified by tel
ephone, and Detective Huff had to
run to Smith and High streets before
the alarm could be sent in. II there
had been a general alarm box, or a
switchboard in the police station, the
alarm could have been sent in in
stantly. AS there is a policeman on
duty in the station at all times IL
would not be necessary to pay an ex-
ira man to attend to the board.
Chief Baker may decided to pre-
sent the idea before the council for
consideration.

boards to pass an anti-screen regula'
ton and enforce it.
The other propositions which the
democrats are understood to be ready
to advocate are a repeal of the tive
izing a place for a year against re-
licensing where a license has been re-
voked for violation of the law, and
requiring a person to have been a
resident of a community for a year
when applying for a license.
Republicans Oppose Change.
1t is doubtful, however, If there
will be any change whatever made in
the present liquor laws. 1t is
believed the republicans will stand by
the policy as set forth in the law
adopted last winter. If they do the
republican senate will, of course, re-
fuse to pass any democratic meas
ure that provides for a modification
or repeal of the Bishops law. This
will effectually block any attempt to
get new excise legislation on the Jer-
sey statute books.
The principal liquor bills now
pending in the legislature are: House
AZ, the Eppinger measure repeating
the Bishops law.
House 11S, the Blohm bill. This re-
peals the Werts law and the Bishops
amendments thereto, and provides for
a new law permitting liquor selling
on Sunday after 1 o'clock p. m. This
provision is based on a referendum
clause which puts 1t up to the voters
of a municipality.
House 166, the Tumulty bill. This
permits licenses for liquor selling on
picnic grounds and for other places of
amusement.
House 254, the Buck local option
bill. This provides that when thirty
per cent. of the voters so petition,
special elections shall be ordered on
the question of whether or not sa-
looms shall be permitted in any
county, city, town, township or ward

PREACHED ON
Rev. II. l.. Schlotter Delivers Sermon
on Seventh Commandment.

Rev. Robert l.. Schlotter, pastor of
Grace English Lutheran Church,
preached a sermon on the seventh
commandment in the church last
night.
The subject of his sermon was
dishonesty" 1t was based on the
seventh commandment, Thou Shalt
Not Steal" He said that man has an
unequal share of provision and an un-
equal share of talent and little right
in this world. He said that certain
people say: what Is Mine Shall be
Thine" and that modern society says
what is thine shall be mine. In ref
erence to modern business principles
he said it is a sin against the seventh
commandment because, when a man
pays for a short ton of coal, he pays
for the weight of the wagon and If
he buys a gallon of milk he probably
pays for half water or If he purchases
five pounds of wheat he also pays for
the bones, but when the government
puts a stamp on the goods passed by
the pure food law, it is supposed to
be all right. In closing his sermon
he said that the greatest sin was TO
rob God.

ponents. A referendum vote under
such circumstances could not be
squarely upon the reform principle
and such use of authority would dis
credit the system.
We believe the widespread popular
demand for Civil Service legislation
is for immediate and thorough re-
form in all departments of govern
ment. The public has considered this
subject for some time and has come
to a conclusion. To us it appears
that this conclusion is not to favor
an experiment, a substitute or a
make-shift, but legislation establish
ing in all departments of state, coun-
ty and municipal government a thor

For the above reasons the Peoples

The state superintendent goes on
to say: "Our rapid growth and popu-
lation, the general tendency toward
higher educational standard and the
greater demand for well-equipped
teachers, together with the necessity
of increasing their salaries, will make
an inevitable increase in current ex-
penses. Therefore, to provide against
financial embarrassment and possible
detriment to our schools, 1t will be
necessary for boards of education and
boards of school estimate to assign to
this years budget a larger total sum
than was appropriated one year ago"
Though the amount due from an
increase in railroad tax has been ap-
portioned among, the several coun-
tines" says Mr.. Baxter, land, as pro-
vided by law, will be sub-apportioned
among the school districts, it has not
been collected. The allied railroads
have paid the former tax of one-half
of one per cent. into the state treas
ury and propose to contest the pay
ment of all direct tax upon main stem
property. We believe, however, that
because of the said contest, the frui-
ton of the acts of 1906 is almost GER
tain to be delayed"
