THEY HAVE A GREAT STORE

Since making the purchase of the
two big business blocks on Main
street and reftting them for then
occupancy, the Fleming and Lamb
Furniture company. has perhaps the
largest quarters devoted to the fur
niture business of any house engas sed
In that business in western Colorado
The lower floors and the wo upper
floors are entirely devoted to dis
play of furniture. carpets. rugs and
the multitudinous things kept IN n
large and well regulated furniture
house.
Much improvement has been mads
in the two stores, to fit them for
their big and growing line of hand
some goods. Elevated platforms have
been erected for the better display OF
goods and altogether the showing
made by this enterprising firm
would credit the furniture houses OF
the larger cities.
And to can all line of goods is
being Offered the public by Fleming
and Lamb that finds few equals in
this or amy other city. They not cnly
keep the medium grade of goods in
the furniture line. but they handle
a line OF goods that satisfy the most
fastidious house furnisher
Every such big mercantile house
added to the business inter ests of
this city, only give us a push farther
toward the goal that we anticipate
reaching in u few years.

CAUSE OF
LATE TRAINS

y dispatch today from Denver
states that the state railway
commission has during the past
two years seni an expert over the
Denver Il Rio Grande. Colorado
and Southern and Colorado Mid
land line for the purpose OF
making report of the physical
condition of the railroads i'm
Colorado. The expert is John
q. Smart, formerly connected
with the interstate commission.
MIR. Smart has concluded his
work on those three railroads
and has filed his report with the
commission. He will now cN-
anime the other railroads of the
state and will later file reports
On them.
The daily sentinel., 1908-12-01

Since the organization Of the rail
road commission complaints of all
kinds have come to the commission
about poor service and failure TO
make time schedule. MIR. Smart was
employed and instructed TO ascertain
If these reports We're true. if The
complaints were justified and if so
what was the reason. During the
last two months he has gone over
every foot of the three railroads men
toned. He has examined every piece
of rolling stock, every engine and
practically every piece of equipment
belonging to the three roads He
reports that the complaint about the
late trains on the Denver and Rio
Grande and Colorado ands Southern
are correct. He reports that the rea-
son for these late trains is because
of poor trackage and poor equip
mept He reports that where the
tracks are in good condition and the
rolling stock in good condition the
schedule time is made but that a
part of the rolling stock of the Den
yer and Rio Grande and portion
of IT'S equipment is in very poor con-
dition and that in places the track
of this road is also in bad condition.
He reports that where the late train
service on the Colorado and Southern
occurs the sane condition exists.
The railroad commission will use
this evidence to secure a betterment
of the equipment on both roads.

PENIS GROVE A N

This branch extends from Woodbury.
to PENIS Grove, a distance of q 7-10
miles and is a single track The right
of way is clear Of distractions and there
are no heavy cuts or fills. bitches ample
and drainage good. The roadbed is of
full width; ballast, cinders and gravel.
The road is laid for 103 miles with IS
pound rails, three miles with 20 pound
rails and Z 40 miles with 60 pound rails
with SO inch, six bolt angle bars. Switches
are split points with automatic and high
stands; frogs spring rail and rigid. There
are 2 AGA cross ties to the mile consisting
of 25 per cent pine and rs per CEN oak
with renewals in sufficient quantity. The
alignment and surface are fair. There are
no heavy grades. Maximum curve is 7
degrees, Signals are Telenraph Train
Orders.
There are thirteen wooden t~restles on
this line, one of which zeal Coopers
station shas two Is inch l beams for
~stringers under each rail and a clear span
OF IL feet. Three of the trestles contain
deck plate girdle draw spans, supported
by A frames. All of these bridges are in
fair condition, except as hereinafter noted
and sufficient for the travel OH this branch
provided renewals are kept up at the
present rate. The three draws, namely
one w Mantua Creek, at Paulsboro,
one over Rancocas Creek at Bridgeport,
and one over Oldmans Greek south Of
Centre Square, Station, are protected only
by semaphore signals, operated from each
end of the draw span and locked OH it.
This road is crossed by the trolley, pro-
tected by deraiIs. There are 81 highway
grade crossings with no protection and
three grade crossings protected by bells.
RECOMMENDATIONS
That drawbridges be further protected
by derails operated in connection with
the semophore signals now in place. That
points Of all guard rails be protected by
wedged shaped blocks sloping from the
top of the rails downward and securely
fastened to the ties. That guard rail as
we'll as guard timbers be placed on all
bridges of 80 feet and over in length,
points to be carried out well in advance
of bridge and protected as noted above,
That new stringers be placed IN bridge
over White Sluice, one mile north of Re-
panpo Station, and some new timber and
rnordc he nlacpd in Birch Graak troctIo
one mile north of Center Square Station.
That overhead tell-tales near bridges have

Imperialism Rampant

That the President regards the atti-
tude Of Republican leaders in refusing
to grant authority for building more
than two battle ships as unwise, short
sighted and lacking in patriotism is evil
dent. He has not given up his conten-
ton for four battleships and will appeal
to the Senate even more urgently than
he appealed to the House when the
Naval appropriation bill was taken up
n the Senate an effort was made to
have the money appropriated for four
battleships but without avail. If it
had not been that a roll call vas
choked off in the House it is known
that many members would have voted
for the four ships in order to "save
their faces" with their constitutions.
1t is even limited that the President will
veto other measures carrying heavy
appropriations like the Public Building
bills these bills it is known are helpful
to members of Congress in their dis
tricts) if they refuse this advice to ap-
propriate for battle ships notwithstand-
ing that he may have reasons not yet
made public for requesting them. 1t
need not be a matter of surprise if he
can teach a lesson of economy. The
President is persuaded that the country
is with him, in his effort to build a
powerful navy. 1t has been planned,
since the Naval Committee in the Sen
ate failed to make provision for the
four battle ships desired by the Presi-
dent, that certain Senators carry the
fight to the floor supported by another
special message even more emphatic
than that sent by the President to the
House.

Compulsory Abstinence.
ON the Hoboken Observer.

From the Hoboken Observer.
Employers of large numbers OF men
all over the country, are browning
more and more upon the use OF intoXl-
eating liquors by their employees. A
new story is being written in the his
tory of the remarkable prohibition
wave that is sweeping the country.
On the first of the new year $4,000
employees of one of the most important
railroads in the United States became
total abstainers. A few weeks later
another road issued an order prohibit
ing it's employees who had anything to do
with the running of trains, from using
intoxicants, whether on or off duty.
Thousands of men were compelled
to submit, and other railroads have
adopted a similar policy, until now it
is estimated that nearly 100000 men
connected with our different railway
systems are living under what am
cunts, practically to a rule of total
abstinence.
1t would appear that financial insti-
buttons are soon to follow the example
set by the railroads. A prominent
bank in New York has issued IN order
forbidding its employees to enter sa-
looms or gambling resorts of any ma
ture whatsoever. They are also for
hidden to speculate, which order, pre-
sumably, is aimed at wall street.
Right here Ill Morris county, and, in
fact, throughout northern New Jersey,
a similar order-has been issued by the
Public Service Railway Company, and
no man connected with the running OF
the cars is permitted to take a drink
on or off duty, under penalty of being
discharged if his transgression is found
out.
Whether this condition of affair
will result in fewer accidents and
crimes, remains to be seen. Those in-
terested in the suppression of the
liquor traffic will eagerly watch the
reports of railroad accidents and thefts
among financial institutions. If it
shall be found that accidents and
crimes will be lessened by the applica-
ton of the rule of total abstinence, it
will make a powerful argument for a
more widespread continuation of the
policy and eventually prohibition.

Good Friday AS A Legal Holiday.
Philadelphia Press.

Phlladelphla Press.
Prior to the passage of the holiday act
of 1891 there was grave doubt whether
Good Friday universally observed as a
legal holiday in this State was properly
classified in that category. The Legisla-
ture in that year removed that doubt
and Good Friday is a legal holiday in
this State and in Delaware, Alabama,
Florida, louisiana, Maryland, Minneso-
ia and Tennessee.
In all the other States Good Friday
is a church holiday, but not a holiday
except in New Jersey, where it has been
declared by law apublic holiday. Wheth-
er they made it a legal holiday was a
matter of much doubt and the last Leg
islature to remove the doubt passed a
bill declaring Good Friday a legal holi-
day. Governor Fort vetoed this bill on
the ground that the State had already
enough legal holidays, so the people of
New Jersey are left to find out for them
selves the exact difference between a
legal holiday and a public holiday.
The religious observance of Good Fri
day is inconsistent with the popular
idea of a holiday that the very general
disinclination in most of the States to
classify it asa holiday is easily under
stood. Pennsylvania decided otherwise.
1t wishes to show its respect for this
solemn memorial day of the Lords cru
cifxion, and had no better way to ex-
press it than by setting Good Friday
apart from ordinary secular days by
declaring it in law a holiday.-Press
The Penn's Grove record., 1908-04-24
The Bank Stock Bill.

Governor Fort has vetoed the Fteling-
huysen bill which was passed to allow
national bakns to deduct U. S. bonds
from their assets before taxation.
The Buck law was passed some years
ago for the same purpose but the State
Board of Assessors decided otherwise
and a test case is now in the State
Court for a decision. Governor Fort
said it would be unfair to the Courtand
make a complication of laws if the Buck
law was declared constitutional.
The Trust Companies are allowed to
deduct their worcestershire securities
from their taxables. The National
Banks claim they are treated unfairly
In not having the same allowance.
If such allowance is permitted the
Penn's Grove Bank stock would have
no valuation for assessment and the
Borough would loose several hundred
dollars of taxes on stock mostly owned
in Delaware. 1t would affect othel
municipalities the same.
The reason why national ba nks should
not be allowed the same privilege as the
trust companies is this. National banks
receive back the face value Of their
bonds in bank notes and are nothing
out.
When the American people get wise
enough they will establish a banking
system and issue money on the wealth
of a national and not Oh its debt.
On Thursday the Court of Errors and
Appeals declared the Buck law cOnsti'
tutional which will require the dcduc'
ton of government bonds.
