EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE:

EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE:
May as a citizen of Morristown,
use the columns of THE CHRONICLE
to call the attention Of our city Off
cials to the way the Sabbath is OBJ
served in Morristown by many in open
violation of the State laws. refer to
the many proprietors of small stores
where candy, soda water, ice cream,
cigars, fruits, ETC., are sold openly on
the Sabbath, and where children are
in the habit on their way to and from
Sunday School of spending their pen
MES, which should have been given in
the Sunday School collection. These
stores are open early and close late, in
some places not even the shades are
drawn and people on their way to
church in the evening can see custo-
rners at the soda fountains, candy and
cigar stands in large numbers. In
Metuchen, this State, an ordinance
has been introduced, which If passed
will make that town the most quiet
place in New Jersey on the Sabbath.
The ordinance forbids the sale, diSpos-
al, etc, of any manner of goods on the
Sabbath, excepting medicine, milk or
newspapers before 10 a. M, or the de-
livery Of perishable goods ordered on
week day. The penalty for the vio-
lation Of the ordinance is $25 fine or
twenty days in Jail. | would refer
the above ordinance to the careful
consideration of our city officials. 1t
would seem that what is good for
Metuchen might be good for Morris
town. We are behind the times here,
in most everything that is progressive
and modern, except Sabbath obser-
vance, but in that we equal in proper
tion the cities of large foreign popula-
ton.

deadlock was what might have been
expected, particularly as the probable
ity of his being able to hold a majority
of the Republican legislators and thus
continue as the caucus choice was
matter of much doubt.
The election of Mr.. Briggs was an
other natural development, because he
was the logical compromise candidate.
That Governor Stokes did not loom up
as leading figure in the race even
after Mr.. Drydens withdrawal may be
attributed to the position the governor
assumed in the beginning and main
tanned, and that was as governor he
could not even seem to use his posi-
ton as chief executive to land himself
in the United States senate. His let
ter to Judge Jones that he owed it to
the people to serve out his term of
governor put the finishing touches to
his chances and left his friends where
they could not give material support
in his behalf.
Statement by Briggs.
United States Senator Elect Frank
o. Briggs has given out an interesting
interview in which he declares he
would support President Roosevelt in
many things, but said he would be a
stanch supporter Of the United States
constitution
I'm my political notions" said Mr..
Briggs. Il am inclined to be trltie old
fashioned, and | think we have yet to
! find better guide in our governmental
| affairs than the constitution of the
| United States. 1t is true, of course,
that new Industrial and social ques-
lions have arisen and press for solu-
ton, but they are no greater or more
difficult than those which confronted
| the trainers of the constitution. AS a
practical business man it is my idea
that the business of the government
should be conducted along conserva-
| tive lines. Questions of equally grave
import, as those now before the coun-
try, have arisen in the past and have
been settled by conservative action.
Il have naturally had the interest of
an active business man in all matters
of national import and have formed
many opinions of my own. l shall &c
to Washington predisposed not only in
favor of the policies and work Of Presi
dent Roosevelt, but as a warm admireE
of such men as Secretary Root, Secrs
tary Hitchcock, Secretary Taft and At
torney General Bonaparte, whose work
has excited my interest My situation
with regard to legislative matters is
now changed AS the representative Of
the people of New Jersey it will be my
duty in the future to thoroughly inves
tigate all phases sof questions that art
to be nassed upon by congress in order

that may intelligently act for the best
interests of both the state and the ma
tion. This propose to do.
Panama Canal.
"As business man l appreciate the
very great Importance that the Pan
anna canal is going to be to this coun-
try, and believe that the work should
be carried on in businesslike manner
without any regard to politics. l do
not believe that anywhere in the land
is the Importance of protective tariff
more thoroughly appreciated than in
New Jersey. Our industries are nu-
merous and varied, and past expert
ence has demonstrated the urgent need
of tariff if the people of our state are
to continue prosperous and happy. tits
my firm belief that all laws should be
rigidly enforced. If the Sherman anti
trust law is good one to keep on the
statute books, it should be enforced"
Mr.. Briggs as a West Pointer and
former army man has taken an espe-
cial interest in the matters affecting
the army and heartily indorses the
presidents ideas of maintaining an eff
ficient army and strengthening the
navy.
"What do you think of the Browns
vile incident?" the senator elect was
| asked.
"Well, that is point upon which
with my present information / am in
clined to disagree with the president"
he replied. II think a proper course
there would have been a court martial.
If the commanding officer was unable
to maintain proper discipline, he should
have been court martialed."
1t is likely that the Camden and
Mercer delegates will oppose Senator
Hinchliffes bills relating to the main
tenance of public Libraries and parks.
They provide that in all cities of this
state now or hereafter having within
their territorial limits a population Of
not less than 100000 the board of al
dermen or other governing body shall
annually appropriate sums which in
their judgment are sufficient for the
care and maintenance of free public
library or libraries and park or parks.
These two bills are intended only te
! apply to Paterson, but Camden and
Trenton are so close to the 100000
I mark that they would soon be affected
Those interested in libraries in both
Camden and Mercer counties are Of
the opinion that if the mandatory IL
brary and park appropriations are to
be abolished or modified it should be
done in a general act after a hearing
is given to the representatives of all
the cities and towns that are interested

The Japanese furry has at least
done one good thing. 1t almost led
to an agreement of the two houses of
Congress on the Immigration Bill,
which has been held up over the
Senate's proposed literary test, but
which now has a chance to pass. The
bill extends in some directions the
provisions for excluding the sick and
dependent, and is good so far as it
goes 1t raises the head tax from So
to "a, an insignificant change; it adds
prostitutes to the classes who may be
arbitrarily excluded; it includes
tuberculosis, idiocy, imbecility and
epilepsy in the list of diseases for
bringing the subjects Of which into
this country steamships may be fined;
it authorizes the expenditure of
$4,000 year in enforcing the con-
tract labor law; it provides for a
national commission to investigate
immigration and for an international
conference to regulate it by interna-
tional agreement.

THE Right Rev. James A. McFaul,
Roman Catholic Bishop, of Trenton,
has sent pastoral letter to all the
Jersey churches, which was read on
Sunday. He says the present public
school is failure because it educates
the head alone, and not the:heart. He
denounces the present tax system, say
ing 1t is unfair and demonstrations to
tax Catholics for the maintenance of
educational institutions which they
can not use without sacrificing their
religious convictions.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1907-02-19

A BILL has been introduced in the
New York Legislature which pro-
vides that three delegates from each
State shall be INVITED by the State of
New York to a conference to be held
next October under the auspices of
New York, and at its expense, the
object shall be to frame uniform
laws for the regulation of life and
fire insurance, divorce, labor, public
utilities and interstate commerce.
The snm of 100000 is appropriated for
the purpose.
1t does not seek to conceal that the
measure was born in antagonism to
the tendency of the Federal admin
stration toward the Capitalization of
such regulation at Washington.
In regard to the bill the point is
made in Washinton that the reason
for the national interference in their
affairs is because the States do not
regulate them.
The movement is a proposal to
bind the states of the Union into a
federation against what is deemed to
be an aggression on the part of the
Federal administration further to
centralize power in itself.

In anticipation of the resignation OF
County Clerk Voorhees,, e. Bertram
Mott, who has been connected with
the office for many years, has an
nounced himself as candidate for
the position and is soliciting the aid
of his friends to help him secure it
Other names are being mentioned in
connection with the position, but the
whole thing is in the air so far.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1907-02-19

MosT people in Morris county, ire
spective of party, will be pleased to
know that the address of our efficient
County Clerk, after March LIST, will be
G Hon. Daniel S. Voorhees,, State
Treasurer, Trenton, N. j." He will
enter upon his new duties the first day
of the coming month, his predecessors
term expiring with the twenty-elgbtil
day of the present month. AS the
treasurer's office is equipped with an
efficient deputy and corps of trained
clerks the business will go along IN the
routine matter, but Mr.. voorhees,, who
has managed the clerks office here for
many years without a deputy,iWould
find it entirely foreign to his nature TO
sit around and act as a figure head,
and will take an active oversight OF
the business and make such improve
ments as shall suggest themselves TO
him. The salary of the office is $4,000
per year and the treasurer gives a bond
of 100000. While there seems to be
nothing in the constitution and laws
to prohibit Mr.. Voorhees, from serving
out his term in the clerks office, he
contemplates resigning, as soon as the
business arrangements of the office can
be adjusted. His resignation would be
to the Governor, who would appoint a
successor to serve until the general
election next fall, when clerk would
be elected for the full term OF live
years. A nice question of law is being
discussed whether the man appointed
to serve out the unexpired term will
be under the salary or the fee system

ALREADY the good results of the
adoption of the new freebooter law
are manifested in Monmouth county.
The old board was about as eXtrava-
CANT and incompetent as any in the
State, not to apply a word Of stronger
character. 1t went out of power, af-
ter being kicked into retirement by
the people, and left legacy of debts
aggregating 1922, 500 for the new board
to meet. Yet the latter, after paying
these debts which literally cleaned
out the county treasury-reduced the
annual budget to S34l, 975, or about
$4,000 less than last year. Even at
these figures the freeholders expect to
meet several extra appropriations. 1t
may well be said, therefore, that the
new board has already saved Mon
mouth county 100000 or more, quite
enough to pay their salaries for seven
or eight years to come. Thus Mon
mouths experiences are practically
identical with those of Hunterdon,
PaSsaic and Middlesex counties, and
furnish cumulative evidence of the
advantages of small honest and COM
petent boards over the kind that have
hitherto been in power.

The fire insurance question has

story.

Study Your Stock.

A writer advises all growers to study
the disposition of their stock. Some
tiocks are wilder than crows; others as
tame as kittens. We imagine that it is
the disposition of the handler that in
tluences quiet among the poultry, says
the Feather, rather than the disposi-
tion of the fowls themselves. Some
can handle bees without protecting
hands or face. while others are being
continually stung when caring for the

There is scepticism expressed
in some quarters over the reality
of the story about a financial con-
spiracy for checkmating the pres
ident. Of course, there is a pos
sibility that the story may have
been overdrawn or that the con-
spiracy was further developed in
wish than in actual fulfillment.
But those who are loudest in de-
crying the story are not those
upon whose absolute good faith
and loyalty the president places
the most dependence just now.
And there is little doubt among
the real friends of the Admins
tration that the president has
taken the best, as he has certain
ly taken the most direct, method
of meeting the move against him.
One of the presidents strongest
weapons has always been public
ity. 1t has not been the habit of
presidents to take the public into
their confidence. But it has GER
tainly proved in the case of Mr..
Roosevelt that his readiness and
surest defense against any at
tempt at influence" has been to
give the whole story away and
let those who have tried to ap-
proach him take care of them
selves the best they might. In
the present case, however en-
bryonic the combination against
him might have been, the people
have had due warning of its eX-
istence, and they will be the more
careful in scanning every move
made in the presidential cam
paign from this time on. If there
are any interests that want to
beat the president and his poll
tics, they will have to come out
and do it in the open.

TRAIN NUMBERS.
How They Are Used and How They
Grow So Large.

Travellers and commuters have Cftrn

information bureau Of the Grand Cen
tral station VIII elicit the reply that
train No. 40 will not stop ut Peek

train No. $40 will stop on Saturdays
at CoScob, but not on other days; that
on the Pennsylvania train No. G3l Will

that on the Delaware and Lackawanna
train No. 4l0 is an EaSton express, and
that train No. 800 is the milliOnaires'
special to BernardSville and will stop
only at Newark. The traveller knows,
of course that there are not 50 many
trains and only Identifies them by the
hour Of departure and arrival 50 this
information is usually vague enough
as given by numbers to him, although
relevant enough to railroad men, for it
tells of the history of the trains.
When the railroads were new they
put on passenger train numbered l
and and Il freight train numbered 3

according to the demands of traffic,

still lived in the minds of the opera

and they named them with still higher
numbers until their numerical titles

as the railroads extended themselves
