Or. Green Saws Fiction Is Bad.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Mercer County Teachers Club re-
Gently, the principal address was by
DIR. James NJ. Green, principal of tn e
State Schools, his topic being "The
Culture OF the Teachers Outside
School Work" He said in part:
'Few of the novels of the year are
worth reading. The gormandizer of
fiction is one who has vital disease
that should be escaped. A few able
works should be read not as a toll but
as pastime, and should be well di-
gested. They should not only include
fiction, but works of politics and re-
ligion the great branches of human
thought.
He gave 1t as his opinion that teach :
ers shonld allow more time of recrea-
ton. He said that the strength of the
mind was not confined by action of
the mind on proposition, but by the
brain power of the person. This
brain power is the result Of physical
condition that can be secured only
through healthful, vigorous and JOY
ons recreation.

viii Ask for Pardon

Applications for pardons to the
number Of $50 have been presented.
and are to be considered by the Court
OF Pardons at its next session, on the
second Tuesday in December,at the
State Capitol. The increased number
of applications IL probably due in part
to the announcement made recently
that great many prisoners would be
pardoned in order to eleminate the
congestion at the prison. The prison
inspectors have approved OF 81 appli-
cations for pardon, and their approval
will be submitted TO the Court Of Par.
dons
Among the many who ask for their
release are u number who committed
murder, while others are doing time
for minor offences. The term Of i'm.
prisonment ranges from one year to
life term. Among the applicants are
number Of women.
William II. Belcher. the former
fatefson Mayor who embezzled the
funds of the Manchester Building and
loan association and later came back
and gave himself up and was Henten-
ccd to II years in 1906, il applying for
pardon. So are Andrew }. Campbell,
William A. Death, George J. Kerr
and Walter McAllister. the Paterson
yonng men who were given 80 years
each Tor being instrumental in
cansing the death Of Jennie Bosscheit.
er. who WAS employed in the silk fac.
tory Of McAllister's father. This crime
stirred the entire country when il oc-
cured III 1901, and feeling was very
bitter against the young men. They
applied for pardon two years ago and
were not connldered.

TresDass Law

The following amendment to the

1T shall be unlawful for any person
or persons to trespass upon the occu-
pied lands of any other person or per-
sons within this State for the purpose
of hunting with gun. or fishing, kill
ing or catching any of the game or
fish enumerated in the statutes, with
out the consent of the owner or per
son, or persons in possession of such
lands having been first had and OBJ
tanned; and every person violating
this act shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor.
This act was approved by the Gov
ernor, April 10, 1908. The act pro.
yides for fine or term in Jail upon

OUR EARLY STATESMEN.
Monroe's Expansion Views and Madi
sons Population Guess.

Some of our early statesmen were
not expansionists. Washington was
opposed TO assuming the ownership Of
the Mississippi river, and James Mon
roe when II member of the Virginia
convention in 17sS argued against the
adoption of the federal constitution for
geographical reasons. Consider" he
said, the territory lying between the
Atlantic ocean and the Mississippi
Its extent far exceeds that of the
German empire. 1t is larger than any
territory that ever was under any one
free government. 1t Is too extensive
to be governed but by Il despotic mon
archy" Aud this from the man who
thirty Years later was elected president
of the United States extended far be-
yond the Mississippi and who became
the author of the Monroe doctrine"
\ year after the adoption of the con.
stitution James Madison thought he
was making bold guess when he
estimated that the population OF the
country might, "in some years" dou-
BILE i'll number and reach 6,0O0.OO0 He
lived 10 see far beyond that. Yet it
is true that for Il number of years the
population was largely confined to the
original thirteen colonies. In 1879.
when the constitution was adopted.
New York city had So 900 inhabitants
In 1917 it had 1l5,ooo. Philadelphia
112o0o, Baltimore $1,000 Boston 40

wilderness. The country was not
crowded yet.-Exehange
