Qmeer Laws.

Village Trustee Perrine, Of South
Orange has introduced an ordinance
ia that village council which requires
that between ten p. m., and six a. M,
residents mnst not let their dogs bark
or roosters crow and also limits the
rights of cats to walk fences.
A bill has been introduced in the
Texas legislature making it illegal to
carry on any kind of business with oil
lamps electric lights, candles, or any
other kind of artificial Inflammation.
Both ordinance and law are to the
same effect, for while one aims to stop
the noises Of animals, the other would
send the Inhabitants of Texas back to
the simple life, retiring at nightfall
and arising at the same time the roos-
ter lifts up his voice.

THE Republican primaries for Nor
ris county will be held to-day Tuesday
in accordance with the call of the
County Committee in this issue. I'm
der the new apportionment of the
State Committee, the basis of repre-
sentation has been increased forty per
cent, so that Morris county will not
have as many votes in the State Con-
yention as in the past. All divisions
OF the county will be presented by
fractions of votes and all should be
represented. In Morristown the prim-
ary will be held at the Republican
headquarters and the delegates will
all be elected on the same ticket, al
though attention will be paid to the
territorial divisions in the choice Of
representatives. There will probably
be no attempt to instruct the dele
gates at the primaries, as it seems to
be the Judgment of the leading men
of the party that the States delega-
tion to the national convention should
go uninstructed as has been the Gus
tom ia the past. Judging from the
newspaper comments, Secretary Taft
is the greatest fayorite with Governor
Hughes close second.

VINO DO raEY REPREsENrs

At the dollar dinner at Elizabeth
last week Governor Fort made this
declaration
You have Governor to-day who
proposes to go into every county in ev-
cry campaign and tell the people where
he stands "a Governor who proposes
to tell the Republicans in every coun-
ty in the State whether or not the
men elected by them to the State Leg
islature are rightor wrong, and If they
are right to reelect them and it they
are wrong to keep them at home.
So far as we hear the voters Of Nor
ris county are not complaining about
the way they were represented in the
Legislature, although our representa-
tives did not always vote the same
way. They were selected because they
were intelligent men and could bring
good Judgment to bear upon all ques-
tions. When the Governor comes to
this county who will he commend and
who condemn?

toned among the several subdivisions
of the counties by the respective

THE President sent TO Congress yes
terday a special message, in which he
reviews the legislative programme and
again urges legislation along the lines
recommended in his special message
of January 81, notably restraint of the
injunction power of the courts, feder-
al control of corporations, amendment
OF the railway rate law, establishment
of postal savings banks, etc. He APP
pends the report of the Finance Com
mittee of the city of Boston on an al
legged combination formed to extOrt
exorbitant prices for structural steel,
ETC., and says that he instructed the
Attorney-General to investigate the

NOMINATION AND ELECTION

The Newark 9 News" points out
that the eleven Southern States Of AL
ALBANIA, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia, cast an aggregate Republican
vote of 209, ,693 in 1904, but will have a
representation of 240 in the National
Convention at Chicago. Ohio cast 900, :
095 Republican votes, Pennsylvania
$40, ,949 and New York $50 ,533, but they
will have only 46, 68 and 78 delegates
respectively
just to bring the matter little
nearer home, take the Republican vote
Of New Jersey, which was 245, ,164.
Omitting Virginia, the other ten
Southern States mentioned cast but
251,8l Republican votes in 1904; they
will have 2l6 delegates at Chicago,
while New Jersey will have only "a. III
other words, the ten Democratic States
Of the South will exert nine times the
influence on the official vote nominat-
ing the Presidential and Vice-Presi-
Dental candidates.
Representation in conventions
should be based on the vote cast for
the party candidates, and represent
alton in The popular branch of Con-
gress on the voting population of the
various states. Taxation without
representation seems tolerable when
considered in connection with the
system of giving power to nominate to
States without ability to aid in electing
the candidates.

PERSONS who have been using Sara
toga waters in the belief that they
were the products Of natural springs,
and pure, will be shocked to learn
from statements made before the Sem
ate Judiciary Committee at Albany,
on Tuesday, that they have been
drinking medicine doetored with salt,
citric acid, yitriol, marble dust and
other chemicals. One spring gave out
eighteen years ago, but the trade has
since been supplied from bottling
house at another spring large quanti-
ties of salt from Philadelphia, car
boys of vitriol and boxes Of marble
dust were used, and ordinary water
was doctored and sold at a pavilion
as natural Saratoga water another
spring gave out, and the company that
owned it supplied the trade with
quarts and pints bearing labels Of
the old spring.

A GREAT many persons who read
about bills which are introduced dur
ing legislative sessions imagine that
they will later find them in the stat
ute books, but there is a wide gap be-
tween the introduction of bill and a
number in the books of laws. There
were 7sl bills introduced during the
past session, but only 3l6 Of these will
appear in the statute books The AGE
which failed were dropped in punches
all along the way to the office Of the
Secretary Of State.

WHILE the financial condition OF
the government of New Jersey has
been the cause of much comment in
the last few weeks, men familiar with
the workings of the financial depart
ments of the State see little cause for
worry. The estimated resources for
the fiscal year which ends on October
81, 1908, are $5,514,0OS, and the appro-
priation bills signed by the Governor
last week, after he had cut off Sl0S, ,53l,
call for an expenditure of 1921 ,S04
But the Comptroller is generally con-
servative in making his estimates Of
the States's resources, and the re-
ceipts as a rule go much above the
amount named by him.

The Senate committee on pensions
has practically completed considera-
tion of the pension appropriation bill.
1t will carry about $l62, 100000, an in
crease of Sl2,OOO,O0O over the house
bill having been made to carry out the
provisions of the widows pension bill
which has been enacted. The house
bill was amended so as to eliminate
the provision for abolishing pension
agencies through the country and con-
solidating the work Of the agencies
under the bureau in Washington.

WHILE Editor Fort, of the Lake
wood "Times and Journal" is a clever
young man and is making good in the
business in which he engaged few
years ago, he seems to be handicapped
by the fact that he is the son Of the
Governor His expressions on political
matters are quoted with the prefix
that he is the son of the Governor, so
leading to the impression that he is
simply handing out the opinions of his
father. He is certainly able to think
for himself and should be entitled to
the credit. of his opinions.

rures scollese elee and Mandolin clubs

The concert of the Tufts College
Glee and Mandolin Clubs in the Y. M.
@. A. Hall on Wednesday evening was
not largely attended, probably the
other attractions of the evening keep
ing many away who might otherwise
have been there, butthe audience made
up in enthusiasm and appreciation
what it lacked in size, every number
on the program being encored. The
concert was as good as any college glee
club concert ever given in Morristown
and the program was so diversified
that it held the interest of the hearers
from start to finish. The young men
sang and played well together and the
solo singing Of Messrs, Lamont, Briggs,
MacCurdy and Gordon, was we'll re-
ceiyed. Mr.. Brooks, the reader accom-
panying the club recited a number of
new pieces including the realistic. hui
merous and dialect, his recitals being

The Evolution OF the Baby Coach,

A grandfather stood in front of a
store window the other day studying
out the mechanism of a folding baby
coach, when a friend asked him if he
was interested. He said he was men
tally comparing the coaches with the
baby wagons of his childhood. His
father was wheelwright and fond
parents would give him an order for a
cart, which consisted of two wheels
sawed out of two-inch oak plank, a
wooden axle with a tongue with an
upward twist and peg in the end to
draw the vehicle. On this was,a box
with flaring sides and back, the:latter
considerable higher than the front,
with seat for the baby. The outfit
cost q couple of dollars and was the
envy of the neighbors. The cart grew
more luxurious in time, with spoke
wheels, buggy top, etc. Then came
the willow four-wheelers, also pulled
about with a tongue. Noticing the
desire of the attendant to keep, an eye
on the infant someone invented the
perambulator, which has increased in
beauty and elegence until it would
seem the consummation has been
reached in the folding wagon.
