pleaches a little sermon on it as fol- lows:
 "The service in the park is distinctly American. one rings for ice water and a young man with the stamp of a gen tleman upon him makes his appear ance, Inquiry discloses the fact that he is a student. who makes use of his va. cation to have change and 10 be- come acquainted with his country At the table young women serve you promptly but with dignity. They are nearly all teachers. who in this way earn little money. No one thinks less of these students for performing duties which in our country would be incom- patible with the dignity of a student or teacher. Being a waiter does not degrade a student here. and he does not forfeit his standing in his fraternity. Think of such a thing in Germany. where although work is not looked down upon, a corps student would faint at the mere idea of fraternizing with ,omrado who for money would play the part of Ganymedc' Such an indivi- dual would be considered unworthy of notice. Pronigacy. gambling, drink and similar vices are. as is well known. no bar to the highest social honors in our country. but nan who has once serv- I'd at a table, and that for a money consideration would be forever ineh- gible as a corps student lieutenant of the reserve or judicial officer"
 Unfortunately pr. Barth's compari- son is not well taken. He speaks of a German national custom and compares it to a custom which exists only in a part of the United States He claims for the Yellowstone custom that it is he way things are done in America, giving the erroneous impression that it is the custom in all parts of Ameri- ca. There is no denying that the GUS tom of earning money by waiting table or going into the harvest fields is a good honest institution in this country. Neither do any sensible people think the less of a man or woman on that account Rather those who understand conditions favor it. But to carry out
 Dr. Barth's comparison We should have
 to put the fraternity boy of Yale or
 Harvard, or the West Point man or the
 Annapolis man in a class with the
 German student. But any of these gentlemen would faint at the sugges- | tion of working as walters or harvest
 hands just as quickly as the doctors ] German students.
 The determination on the part of
 young men and women to get ahead is
 not confined to the United States. Dr.
 Earth coudl find young men and wo-
 men in Germany who are earning mon-
 ey in summer to take them through
 school in winter just as at the Yel- loWstone park. These people will get
 ahead in spite of any social opinion concerning them. But to say that soCi-
 ety in the United States approved of anybody who works as waiter is us-
 ing the word society as representing a
 different class of people from the doc
 tors students and our gilded fools-

to the Hid Farm.

Morristown, N. j., Oct. IA, 1907.
MESSRS. PIERSoN q SURDAM,
EDITOR OF The CHRONICLES
Morristown, N. ].
Gentlemen:
There has been such vast amount
of argument and talk concerning the
location of the Disposal Works for
MorristoWn, that we have thought 1t
wise to send you the enclosed copy of
letter which we this day handed to
Philip H. Cooper, Chairman of the
Board of Sewerage, accompanied by
the two reports referred to therein,
and ask that you publish both the
letter and the reports in full, with a
view of helping to clear up this SEEM
ingly difficult situation and acquaint-
ing the public with the facts as they
exist. There can be no satisfactory
solution of the matter until all the
people of Morristown are fully in
formed of the situation, and they are
Justly entitled to know everything
that is going on.
After presenting the letter and re-
ports, conference was held with the
Board of Sewerage, at which more
definite proposition was requested,
and accordingly the following has
been submitted:

YOU change the site of the sewerage disposal
plant ON the Whtnall tract TO the Hid |
Farm. we offer the following:
We have an option to purchase the Hid
Farm, containing about 140 acres, for 5000.
We offer to assign this option to you and, II

TO contribute $15, ,0C0 to the cost of making
the change.
Respectfully yours,

1t may be interesting to note that the esti-
mated net additional cost of extending the

of Mr. Pltney and Messrs. Herring u Fuller, is
under SIS, 900.
The public itself will be the best judge In

BRYAN SCORES PRESS
Declares Trusts Control Some
New York Newspapers.
SELF EVIDENT FACT, HE SAYS
Asserts That RoosA1eit Was Able to
Command More Contributions In 1904
Campaign From, One State Than
Could Democrats From Forty-five.

New York, Oct. q Charging that a
large proportion of the great metropol-
itan newspapers were controlled by
trusts and predatory wealth and that
their columns were for sale to the
highest bidder William J. Bryan made
a bitter attack on such newspapers in
a speech which he delivered at Cooper
Union under the auspices Of the Pro-
gressive Democratic league.
Although Mr. Bryan offered no proof
to substantiate his charge he said that
it was self evident and that corrobora-
tive evidence was not necessary. The
accusation was received with applause
by the audience, who interrupted him
with shouts of approval.
'1t is one of the calamities OF the
age" Mr. Bryan said. ''that5so many,
not all, of the great metropolitan dali
lies are owned by interests not known
to the public and are not run as a
newspaper, but as AN adjunct to ex-
ploit other enterprises. SO many, not
all, are owned by unknown men who
hire brilliant editors to chloroform
their readers while they pick their
pockets.
Columns For Sale.

too important work to enter into con-
troversy, even with a newspaper.
Il have received Information from
sources which l believe TO be trust
worthy that a large proportion of
newspapers are owned for no other
purpose but to deceive the public, In
many the columns are for sale to the
highest bidder, but perhaps u should
not say the highest because there is
but one, and it is predatory wealth.
The opposition Of these papers helps
man, while their support would
damn him in the eyes of all honest
people
Attacks Roosevelt.
In about the middle OF his speech
Bryan attacked President Roosevelt
He said his party had no money III the
campaign Of 1904 in forty-five states

ance, banking and railroad scandals
