Lowell Got His Whacks.

Eliminating anecdote concerning James
Russell Lowell when he was our min

Minister Lowell, in plain evening dress,
was preceded up the palace stairway
by minister from Central America,
gorgeously appareled, wearing a jew

landing by the magnificent halberdier
with heavy whack of the battle ak on
the marble pavement. AS Mr. Lowell
wore no insignia of Office, he received
no attention. At last, his patriotic

Child Cynics.

count for the extraordinary critical
mood which the modern child has de-
veloped In regard to toyland." The
modern child will simply not make be-

makers have even now to employ sci

they hope to pass the critical eyes Of

A newly married couple came In a
hotel where we were resting and asked
how much it would cost to get two
bowls of boiled rice and milk and
were informed that the price was 10
cents per portion. The groom pulled a
small package wrapped in bit Of
newspaper from his pocket and, open
ing 1t, displayed about a double hand
full of rice, which he said they had
gathered from their clothing after the
shower which followed the early morn
ing wedding. He inquired how much
would be deducted If they furnished
their own rice and upon being inform
ed that no allowance could be made be-
came indignant and remarked that
they would wait until they reached
home for their dinner rather than sub
NIT to such unfair dealing and left the
place. The proprietor said that the
young man owned one of the best
farms in the town and had established
quite famous reputation locally for
economy, although that is not exactly
the way he expressed it.-Forest and

AssEMBLYMAN HENDRIoKsoN, of Hud-
son, has shown many instances of his inten-
ton to be an active member of the House
and has presented several bills. Without
recalling them particularly, our attention
Ia attracted to one which should not be
allowed to secure favorable recognition.
1t provides that the taxes from the main
stems of railroads shall 60 to the munich
palities through which the railroad passes,
for municipal purposes, and not to be dis
tributed throughout the state for school
purposes. The object of this bill is very
apparent when we consider that the cities
would greatly benefit by the proposed
legislation, and the counties and towns
which do not have long and numerous
lines of railroads running through them,
would be cut off from the fund which
means much to them. Hudson county
would benefit greatly If this bill passes,
hence no criticism can attach to Mr.. Hen
drickson's advocacy of the bill, as he is
doing what it is his duty to do-working
for the benefit of his constituents, but
there are others who are in duty bound to
do the same thing, and they will be dere-
lict if they do not work for the defeat of
this bill, which will be to the detriment
of many communities, and which will 60
further towards the return to state school
tax than any other measure that can be
imagined.

How polIa Are Made.

Many big things are needed to make
a small doll. She has her beginning
in a great trough, where workmeu
knead up into dingy paste old card
board, even old gloves, old rags and
gum tragacanth They are great
brawny fellows, these men, naked to
the waist, wearing leathern aprons
In an adjoining room the paste Is pour
ed into molds for the busts, the arms,
the legs of dolls innumerable. There
Is a special machine for stamping out
the hands. 1 should not like to con-
fess how long I stood in front of It,
fascinated by the steady stream Of
queer little hands that fell ceaselessly
from the iron monster. 1t was aw-
full, uncanny, hypnotizing. Indeed, the
whole sight was grim and monstrous.
The low factory rooms were misty with
steam and lit by strange red glowing
fires Always the great steel machines
pulsed and changed, and through the
mist sweaty giants of men went to and
fro with heaps of little greenish arms
and legs until you began to think that
some new Herod had killed all the lit
tie people in the world bOdy's.

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1907

BY LETTER from State Superintendent
Baxter, published in THE NEWS last week,
1t will be noticed that he cautions the
school authorities from banking on the
increased appropriation which was expect
ed to come from the railroad taxes The
corporations have taken an appeal to the
Supreme Court, and upon the decision of
that body will depend the apportionment
OF the fund that the school people had been
led to believe was within their grasp. 1t
Is to be hoped the Court will make a
speedy decision on this point and not allow
1t to drag as other matters do. Another
question that could be disposed of that
would relieve the anxiety of many people
is that of the assessing value of bank
stock. This matter was appealed to the
Court some time since and an assessment
and collection period have been allowed to
pass without anything definite being given
out, and the officials, with as many differ.
ent ideas as could possibly be expressed
have gone ahead with anything but salts
faction to the owners of this particular
property. In short while the assessor,
will again go their rounds, and it would
seem as If the time had nearly arrived
when they should have some definite rul,
on which to work.

In THE death of Theodore B. Gaskill
Burlington county has lost valued citi-
zen and he is mourned In all parts of the
county by those who have enjoyed his
friendship for many years. 1t is hardly
necessary to give an extended account of
Mr.. Gaskill. for, since his advent into
public position thirty-fve years ago, he
was one of the prominent figures of this
community and was known to all residents
of Burlington county. His management
of the Burlington county almshouse, his
continuance in that position term after
term, relinquishing the post of his own
accord against the wishes of the people,
an honorable, honest, consci entious gen.
tleman, slow to anger and always ready
to forgive.- If there ever was one who
exemplified the saying ''to err is human,
to forgive divine" it was Theodore B.
Gaskill. He was always ready to aid
those in distress, and to give counsel to
those who sought it. His power in poll
tics was wide and strong, and in the past
few years when he was not as active as
formerly his advice was eagerly sought
by those on whom the responsibilities of
public affairs rested. He leaves memory
and name that will be honored and re-
spected by all who knew him.

NAPOLEON Trusted His omen..

Napoleon always had an unlimited
trust in his presentiments. When the
news came to him that one Of the Nile
river boats, the name of which was
L'Italie, had been wrecked and the
crew put to death he gave up all hope
of ever completing his conquest OF
Italy by annexation. Napoleon believ-
ed that the stars exercised an occult
influence over human destinies. When
General Rapp, at one time his abide
camp, returned from the siege Of Dant-
sic he found the emperor gazing with
concentrated attention at the heavens.

SENATOR ROBBINS is no more of figure
head in the upper house of the Legislature
than he was in the lower branch and he
has introduced and advocated several
measures which will not be detrimental to
the state and will be very beneficial to his
own county. One of these is the propo-
sition to investigate the increased cost of
stone road construction. He shows that
it now costs $40, 900 to build road that
formerly could be built for about one
creased price is due to combination of
the owners of quarries. and to ascertain
whether he was right he demanded an in
vestigation, which is sure to come and
which will just as surely produce good re-
suits. Another measure he is urging is the
amendment to the franchise bill, whereby
franchises may be granted in certain COM
munities without the time limit on them.
An up-Jersey paper attacks Mr.. Robbins
action in this line and claims that if he is
successful it will be bad thing for those
sections which would be affected by the
law. Incidentally it may be said that the
paper referred to has never been able to
see anything good that our Senator has
ever done. Under present existing cir
cumstances the trolley lines-and they are
most interested in this measure-have
about all the privileges they desire in the
matter of franchises in the large counties
and cities of this state. The Limited fran
chise" affects small counties. towns
and villages, and the argument is
that the removal of the limit on
franchises would allow the corporations
TO get monopolies in certain places
for wears to come. The statement is
made that 1.-The Robbins bill is not a
fight made on behalf of the people to OBJ
tain new trolley roads; 1t is fight made
bv the trolley corporations, using interested
parties as their tools. to secure immensely
valuable franchises in perpetuity." This
is an insinuation against the Senator
which the people of this county will re-
sent. they will not acknowledge him to be
.sthe tool of anybody. The bill he is adj
vocating is one of great importance to this
community. If it becomes law it will
open an avenue which win be greatly
beneficial to this neighborhood. With 1t
the present line of trolley will be contin-
ued to towns near Mount Holly, which
will be advantageous to all concerned.
Under the present condition people de-
cline to invest in something that contains
8. string to it. The argument that the
trolley owners have all they want in the
cities is of more weight for the adoption
Of the Robbins measure than against it.
for it is discrimination in favor the cities,
The people in Burlington county want
more trolley accommodations, and there
is no reason why they should not be given
their wishes Mr.. Robbins is acting per-
fectly in accord with the desires OF his
constituents in this matter and it is hoped
he will be successful
