passed, making it crime to place glass

department of inland waterways and
provides for the appointment Of a COM

Great Interest In Local Option.
The local option bill before the house
committee on municipal corporations
attracted between 5000 and 1000 per-
sons to the public hearing on this
measure Monday. The attendance was
about equally divided between the ad-
vocates and opponents of the bill, and
Chairman Afoxon of the committee had
much difficulty in depressing the enthu-
siasm of the spectators during the
speeches. Rev. Charles L. Mead of
the Newark conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, who is president
of the Antisaloon league in New Jer-
sey, made the opening address. He
said the bill stood for home rule and
rule by the majority of the people to
decide whether or not this traffic shall
be regulated in a manner suitable to
the will of the people. Many other
clergymen spoke in favor of the meas
ure.
Chandler w Riker, former prosecu-
tor of Essex county, was the first
speaker opposing the bill. He charged
first that the advocates of the bill
simply wanted to introduce prohibition
into New Jersey and cited statistics to
bear out his contention that prohibit
ton was a failure. Mr. Riker stirred
up a hornets nest among the advo-
Gates of the bill by quoting from a
speech of Abraham Lincoln in which
Mr.. Lincoln had declared that prohibit
ton was an unwarranted interference
with personal liberty.
Rev. e. A. WATSON, an Episcopal
clergyman of Newark, followed Mr..
Riker in opposing the bill and said
that the advocates of the bill maseuer-
AIDED under the banner of home rule
when it served their purpose. Several
other clergymen opposed the bill.
The speech Of Governor Hanly Of In
diana was greeted with prolonged APP
plause and waving of handkerchiefs.
He prefaced his address with the re-
marks that the question was not only
local one in New Jersey, but 1t Is
paramount throughout the nation, if
not the world. The fight, he said, was
not temporary or transient one, but
was just beginning, and the nation
would be shaken before 1t was over.
he argued earnestly in favor of the
bill.
At the conclusion of the hearing the
committee agreed to report the bill as
presented by Assemblyman Crosby.

Thos. B. Wanamaker, editor and proprie
tor of The Philadelphia North american,
and one Of the great newspapers of the
country, died in Paris, France, on Monday,
whittier he had gone to recuperate his
health. About ten years ago Mr.. Wana-
maker bought the North american with the
ayowed purpose of breaking the Quay ma
chine that was despoiling and corrupting
Pennsylvania, and how we'll he succeeded

a son of John Wanamaker, the Prince of
Merchants, and though always of feeble
health yet be sacrificed that and fortune to
she task he set himself to accomplish. The
State Of Pennsylvania has cause to rejoice
in this life, and the memory of his saori-
fees and what they cost him should move
all good citizens Of that commonwealth to
mourning.

The proposed law to do away with the
state school tax of $1.85 would effect no
saving TO the taxpayers, but would in all
probability increase the school tax, which
would then have TO be raised in the local
taxing districts in order to get money
enough TO run the schools. Under the pres
ent law the money coming from the state
school tax is drawn from tax laid upon all
property alike in all the counties. The
money is paid into the state treasury and
disbursed to the several counties to be ap-
portioned among the school districts accord
ing to the number of children actually at
tending school, II the law were changed
as proposed the rich districts, with usually
fewer children, would have to pay less tax
than the poorer districts, which as rule,
have the larger number of children. We
do not believe that the proposed measure
will prove popular one when the full sig
nifcance of its provisions are understood

If good lawyers were backward in accept
ing proseoutorships and iudgeships at pres
ent salaries there would be reason in ipcreas-
ing the salaries of those officials TO an
amount to tempt good talent, but when we
note how eager the best lawyers are to serve
the State at present prices we fail to grasp
she necessities Of Senator Avis Salary bill,
especially as he knows how great need
his own county has for every dollar it can
raise. And then there is Mr.. Avis license

Assemhlyman DeYine, of Bergen county,
introduced bill in the Legislature last
week to increase the pay of petit jurors
from So to So per day. Mr.. Devine should
now introduce companion bill for the re-
lief OF witnesses, many of whom are sum-
moned from remote sections of the county
to the County Court House at every term

pense, besides much loss of time, and after
cooling their heels for several days around

cent sum Of fifty cents for their services.

We agree with the Bergen county paper
shat the present witness fee is perfect
farce, ii compensation is intended. Many
witnesses before our courts pay more than
their fee in one railroad fare. The fee
ought, at least, TO cover actual expenses.

frightened at the extent OF the local option

throwing the local optionists a sop in the

easily the local optionists can be fooled.

What The Kidneys Do
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy

All the blood in the body passes through
the kidneys once every three minutes The
kidneys filter the blood They work night
and day. When healthy they remove about
500 grains of impure matter daily. when I'M
healthy some part of this impure matter is
left in the blood. This brings on many dis
eases aud symptoms pain in the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
biity, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right
you will have 40 trouble with your kidneys

added to his suffering and at times he could
hardly endure the severe pains In his back.
The various remedies he tried afforded him
only slight relief and when he saw Doan's Kid

taking them. He had only used them a short

Trenton March 4. The legislature
had busy week and concluded its
labors today until next Monday night.
The members were kept constantly on
the move between attendance at the
sessions, committee work and consid-
Grafton of bills on public hearing. The
public utilities bills were again given
public hearing. This question seems
to have been thoroughly presented to
the members OF the committees of both
houses That public utilities bill will
be passed is the opinion generally ex-
pressed, yet the form of the bill to be
reported by the committee is problemat-
ical. There is much favor toward the
Robbins bill, which it is considered
best meets the needs Of the situation
and is less radical in its provisions than
the other bills under consideration.
A bill by Senator Hinchliffe was
passed giving municipal fire boards the
right to regulate the manufacture and
sale OF explosives. The teachers ten

Don't Burn Without a Permit.

The State Forestry Commission is calling
the attention of farmers and other property
owners living in towns or townships where
there are forest fire waidens to the fact that
no brush or other outdoor fires can be set
between March 10 and May 81 inclusive,
without the written permission Of such fire
wardens.
These permits may be had without cost
upon application to the fire warden Of any
township in which the fire is proposed to
be started. Failure to secure permit sub
iects the person starting the fire TO fine.

Mr.. Corrlgan had small patience with
ramps and was about to order him
off the place when something changed
his mind. The fellow had u cast in his
eye. He recognized him instantly. 1t
struck the old gentleman at once as
being singular that this man should
claim to be starving when not two
hours before he had been eating heart
lily from a brown paper parcel in the
train. Tramps did not usually travel
by train-not inside of them, at any
rate-which was an additional cause
for suspicion. Uncle Michael deter
mined to investigate the matter fur
Their, so he led the tramp to the back
of the house. where plate OF bread
and meat was set before him. He ate
sparingly for hungry man. but took
in the premises with seemingly care
less eye. while the account he gave OF
himself was far from satisfactory. He
claimed to have come from Albany on
foot, as was shown by the travel stain
ed condition of his shoes. which was
clearly lie. for Mr. Corrigln had
seen him travelling in an entirely oppo-
site direction and was more convinced
than ever that n cast in the eye was
the brand of scoundrel. He declined
to give the fellow money and watched
him suspiciously until he left the
place. feeling instinctively that some
thing would bring him back again.
