SUBSCRIPTION RATES

ADvICEs from Trenton say that the
unexpected vacancy upon the New
Jersey Supreme Court bench caused
by the sudden death Of Justice Abram
@. Garretson is likely to be filed by
the appointment Of Senator James f..
Minturn, of Hudson. The actual APP
pointment of Justice Garretson's sue
ceSsor has not been officially consid-
cred and as Governor Stokes is in
Tennessee, even an intimation as to
his intentions is not obtainaole. For
some months, however, it has been
the general understanding that should
q vacancy occur during the term of
Governor Stokes Senator MintUrn
would be named. AS Justice Garrett
son was Democrat and from the
northern section of the State, the sell
ection of Senator Minturn would
neither change the political complex
ion of the court nor the geographical
distribution Of it's members. tits the
belief here that Senator Minturn's
nomination will be sent to the Senate
when the Legislature reconvenes on
June IA

THE ordinance granting a franchise
for new electric company in Morris
town, introduced at the meeting of
the board of aldermen last Friday ev-
ening, seems to properly safeguard the
interests of the town and is along the
line of modern ideas The franchise
is limited to fifty years, the poles for
wires to be ornamental in design and
in a reasonable time The town is to
derive revenue from the use of the
streets for conduits. There will be an
opportunity for citizens to express
their views at the July meeting of the
board before final action is taken and
if there are Objectionable features they
should be made known at that time.

MoRRIsTowN can well be congrat-
ulated upon the fact that the talking
era has been superseded by the doing
era. The town has been cursed for
years by lot of people who were ever
lasting croaking about conditions yet
were too timorous to do anything
themselves and impugned the motives
of those who tried to improve things.
The meeting last night shows that
when citizens get together knowing
their rights and knowing dare main
tain them there is no difficulty in Sc
curing them. If there is man in
Morristown whose civic pride hasn't
increased an hundred fold during the
past year he is beyond hope.

for the vacant place on the New Jer-

successor to the late Justice Garrett

have started a movement to bring

Justice Dixon was Republican, but
his son disagreed with him politically
and is a Democrat. Senator Edwards
is the prime mover in this effort.

Street Signs.
lmisSinnerS will MOI

The commissioners will not be able
to erect signs on the public thorough
fares throughout the city as contem-
plated because of lack of an appropri-
alton. They have appreciated the ne
cessity of such signs as "drive slow"
keep to the right" walk your
horses" etc, particularly so when q
pedestrian meets with an accident due
to careless driving. Several months
ago at the suggestion, Of the superin
tendent of police they asked for sam
pies of signs of various shapes and
sizes, and the superintendent of police
furnished a list of streets and street
intersections most in need Of posted
instructions to drivers.
1t was decided to erect about 200
signs, but when the question Of pur-
chasing and erecting the same was in
vestigated 1t was found that there were
no funds, CARL SCHOFIELD.

Usual New Years Reception at the

White House.

Obliterated rank and class distinction.
The president met ambassador and
laborer with the same firm handshake.
While the Marine band played patri-
otto airs the great throng moved
slowly through the executive mansion
and in the greeting of the president
men and women of all ages and condi-
lions found renewed devotion to the
republic and democratic ideal.
The diplomatic corps, the judiciary,
the army, the navy and civilian Off
Gals in the various departments were
received in turn before the thousands
of citizens who had been standing in
line for hours could meet the pres

Better weather for the occasion

shone brightly and it's warmth dis
PEELED the dampness rising from the

stood in line for hours this was par
ticularly agreeable and made their
wait less uncomfortable than usual on

A Daring Wasp.

Some wasps live in part upon honey,
which they collect from the most OPEN
petaled flowers, and thus to a very,
moderate extent they may be regarded
in the light Of flower fertilizers. Kirk
land says In the first volume Of the;
American Naturalist that "the paper
hornet (Vespa maculata) often enters;
my nucleus hives when am rearing
Italian queen bees and captures the;
young queen In the midst of her little
colony, usually just after she has COM
menced her first laying. have seen
this depredator enter the small hive,
drag out the queen and fly away with
her to the woods" page 52). Some of
the species Of the genus polistes store
up honey which is poisonous, from the.
fact that it has been collected from
poisonous flowers. They are found in
South America, where also species Of
the genus chartergus occur-wasps
that make very remarkable and
tough nest, with funnel shaped combs
inside, arranged one inside Of another,
nest fashion, but not In contact ex-
cept at their points Of suspension. At
the apexes Of these cones occur the
apertures Of entrance for the inmates
to pass up among the conical tiers.
