THE NEW MUNICIPAL BUILDING
To Furnish the Occasion of House,
Warming when Plans are Ready.

To Furnish the Occasion of a House,
Warming when Plans are Ready.
EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE
Dear Sir III is our purpose to have
a public opening sort of a house
warming when we go into the new
Police Headquarters building. This
will not be so large an event as the
dedication Of the new library building
in Washington, nor the opening Of the
capital building at Albany, nor even
the Inauguration of our own new Gov
ernor, but it will be as important to
Morristown as any of these things.
We will invite all former Mayors Of
the city and other former officials, as
well as the present city officials, the
president of the Civic Association, The
president of the Business Mems Asso-
citation, and Others,
We win try to make this event
milestone to mark the growth of our
awakened municipality. and we hope
it will be the beginning OF larger and
better things for this city and commu-
nifty, which shall continue to improve
until Morrstown becomes whatNature
intended.it to be. the most beautiful
and healuhfal resident community in
New Jersey. and indeed in the whole
country. Our citizens should not be
satisfied with anything less than this.
The various civic associations Of
Morrlstown and many of our citizens
have co-operated with the city officials
during the past years with some de-
gree OF success to arouse more civic
pride and larger personal interest in
the affairs of the community, for
which we are all grateful.
When all plans are completed we
will advise you Of the date and other
details.

KEEPER OSBORNE, of the New Jer-
sey State prison, recommends that
the death penalty be abolished 10
capital cases. But the recommends
tion is in a measure Offset by his show
ing that there has been rapid IN
crease in the percentage OF State
prison convicts sentenced for murder
and manslaughter during the last few
years. In 1902 there were 81 out OF
1,O2l last year there were l57 out OF
l,25l. Since that report was written
there have been at least dozen mur-
ders committed in New Jersey. with
such an epidemic of crime prevailing,
the Legislature will not be likely to
heed the agitation in favor OF the
abolition Of capital punishment. The
proposition that comes from New
York that condemned murderers be
given up to the doctors for viyisection
will appeal with more force.

STATE HOSPITAL STATISTICS
What the Annual Report shows as to
the Care of the Insane.

What the Annual Report shows as to
the Care Of the Insane.
The annual report of the State Hos
pital has been made to the legislature.
At the close Of the year the number
OF patients under its care was / 1874 Of
whom OFT we're men and 907 women.
The admissions for The year were All,
Of whom 229 were men and 1888 women.
Those admitted for the first time
numbered 1868, the same as recorded
last year. The total is thirteen less
than during the year covered by the
report OF 1906, and twenty-seven more
than in 1905. The number Of admis-
sions forcefully emphasizes the States
need for building new hospital for
the insane.
On October "a there were under
treatment 1882 patients, the highest
census Of the year. The 1,824 patients
remaining at the end of the year were
classified as follows INDECENT, 1858 !;
private or paid patients, 1853; crimin-
ais, 81, and convicts, 81. There has
been falling off in the number OF
paid patients and a corresponding in
crease IN the number maintained at
public expense. OF the AIT admissions
1876 are classed as county INDECENT, 145
as State INDECENT and 76 as private.
The most common alleged exciting
cause Of mental disease given in the
certificates for admission was intem-
perance and other excesses. These
were given as the chief factors in 1l9
of the admissions. With regard to
heredity as a cause of mental disease
the physicians found that n, or about
eighteen per cent. of these patients
gave a direct history of insanity in
the family. This is considerably a
larger percentage than was recorded
last year, and according to Or. Evans
bears out well-founded conviction
that heredity is the most important
predisposing cause of insanity.

WHILE we entirely sympathize With
Collector Mclean in his anxiety about
county finances nevertheless we would
suggest that it is an unsafe aproposi-
tion to cut down an appropriation
which has to meet fixed changes es-
tablished by law, especially as last
years expenditures about used up the
appropriation. When it is considered
that the bridge appropriation for the
current year is s7s, 900 as against $780,
600 the previous year, there is no spe-
cial reason to be surprised at the pres
ent financial condition of the county,
when it is remembered that the
amount to be raised by taxation is
limited by law.

MORRIS TOWNSHIP citizens may
we'll congratulate themselves upon
the financial management Of town
ship affairs. Starting off the year
with balance OF $369,6l, the Commit

with previous years, everything has
been promptly attended to and kept
in good shape and the year closes with
a balance of S37O74. This is certainly

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Kitchen Hints.

Soak a cabbage in cold water for
an hour at least before cooking and
much Of the disagreeable odor will be
destroyed. The water in which it is
cooked should be changed several
times during the cooking TO make the
flavor more delicate.
Caulifower is often so indigestible
that many people cannot touch it. Cay
enne pepper sprinkled on 1t while cook
ing is said to help this fault.
To destroy the 'muttony'' flavor
from lamb dripping add white potato
peelings while it is cooking down. This
will rid the fat of that very strong
and unpleasant flavor.

Always warm the bed of child be-
fore he enters it, especially when the
weather is cold Many children suffer
from enfeebled vitality, especially
those who study hard and whose appe-
tites are poor. and to such it is simply
torture to enter cold bed or to be in
a cold room.
A hot water bag or else hot brick
wrapped in flannel will not only re-
move the immediate discomfort. but
will also serve to induce sleep, which
under other conditions would be quite
unattainable.

wash boiler. When so attached, as
shown in the Illustration, it catches
the drip from the clothes and drains it
into the tub or other vessel employed
for the purpose. By reason of its sim
plicity Of construction this attachment
deserves the attention of all house
wives. BY preventing the dirty drip
water falling on the floor, running the
floor covering and necessitating clean
ing the floor after the wash, it would
soon pay for its cost.

THE court OF errors and appeals
crowned the administrator of Cover
nor Stokes on Tuesday when it found
the Perkins main stem tax act consul
tutional in all its parts. The court also
found that the Strong Perkins tax act,
the one which makes local assessors
assess second class railroad property
unconstitutional Thisle leaves the state
with the revenue raising features Of
the main stem act intact, giving 3d.
500 600 more moneys to the public
schools OF the state and to the muni-
cipalities according to the diversion
under the Perkins act. The court al
SO found that the old act under which
the Pennsylvania railroad had been
paving taxes, the old Camden and AM
boy railroad tax act, had been merged
into the new act, thus leaving no
ground under the feet of the railroad
ATTORNEYS to further fight this act.
Chief Justice Gummere said the opin-
ion of the court will be filed IN few
days. In the meantime the chancei-
lor, who presided at the head OF the
court of errors ard appeals, asked
Chief Justice Gummere to tell what
the opinion would recite and the chief
Justice gave lengthy summary OF
the case saying in conclusion:
/" We conclude, therefore, with rela-
tion to this case, that the act Of 1854,
with the amendments down to the
fine of the passage Of the Perkins act,
created uniform state tax law With

Farmers In the House.

There are just as many lawyers and
other professional men as ever among
the 391 members Of the house of repre-
sentatives, but an abnormal number
have a great desire to Qualify as farm
ers., Uncle Joe Cannon has proof Of
this in the fact that more members
applied this year for places on the
agricultural committee than applied
for any other house committee. Hereto
fore it has not been regarded as an es-
pecially desirable committee-in fact, 1T
has been looked upon as a minor COM
mittee, assignment to which could not
be viewed as anything of a distinction.
In very m&ny states there has been
an awakening among the farmers to
the extensive and exhaustive work the
department Of agriculture is doing and
also to the constantly increasing APP
propriations congress is voting for that
department CARL SCHOFIELD.

IndIana,s Vote Fixed

Mr. Kern, the Democratic candidate
for the vice presidency, is a political
analyst in excellent running order. His
figures come out as easily and smoothly
as if that appeal to the farmers to chip
in on the campaign fund was having
results. He was in Iowa the other day
and looked things over. When he came
away he pulled out his notebook and
put the State in the sure-for- Bryan col
umn.
As Indiana has been honored with
name on the ticket, Mr.. Kern has every
reason to believe there'll be no trouble
with the voting there. But a little
thing in statistics has just bobbed up
which double-clinches the State. 1t ap-
pears that within a year Indiana has
increased it's population Of mules by
1900. There are 1851 of these useful
and Democratic citizens within the bor-
ders. Mr. Kern can now sleep an hour
longer in the morning. The mules have
kicked the door to, so that, even if 1t
would the State cannot escape. 1t is
no more doubtful than that John w.
will be early at the polls.-Toledo

Would Bryan BE HarmlessY

Some persons say that if Bryan were
elected he could do no harm, for the
Republican Senate would tie his hands,
and the Senate is certain to be Repub-
lean for four years more at least, re-
gardless of any mutations which may
come i'll the presidency or the House Of
Representatives. Several Democratic
papers which opposed Bryan not only
for the nomination. but until long af-
terward, and which now give him a
half hearted support, justify their ac-
ceptance of his candidacy on the theory
that tie Republican Senate would make
a cipher of him if he should carry the
country. Those papers ought to under
stand that if Bryan could do nothing in
tie presidency except draw his pay this
would be a pretty good reason why he
should be kept out of the presidency.
Representative Burke of the Pitts
burg District, however, in speech de.
livered III Salem, H., Bryan's birth
place, shows that this idea of Bryan's
harmlcSSneSs is q mistake. He points
out that the Executive Department of
the government has much greater pow
er to rule or ruin than has the Iegis-
latiye A man of fadS and crankeries,
like Elyan, in the White House could
Go much to cast discredit on tie gov
eminent and to humiliate the DAople.
Moreover. under the Presidents direc-
ton the government now expends about
$1,C0GC00,O00 annually, and this would
give him an influence which, in the case
of an unbalanced person like the Demo-
cratic candidate, would be likely to in
fiict harm on the country.
1t is a mistake to suppose that the
election of a man like Bryan would
bring no i'll effects to the country His
election would probably carry with it
Bryanite House of Representatives. 1t
would be likely to carry with it several
Bryanite Legislatures which would
choose Bryanite Senators. The big Re-
publican majority in the Senate would
be reduced, and the new members
would be of the Bryanite order. More
over, the pressure of q Bryanite Presi-
dent and House of Representatives, re-
enforced by some new Senator's Of the
same stripe, would be likely to weaken
the Republican line in some spots, for
Bryan victory could easily be made
to appear to be popular mandate for
reckless legislation. By death or resig-
nation four places on the Supreme
bench are likely to be vacated during
the term of the President who will take
office next March. How would the sane,
conservative people of the country like
to see Bryan get the power to I'LL these
places? The only way to keep Bryan
harmless is to roll up bigger majority
against him in 1908 than was cast
against him in 19OO-St. Louis Globe
