Have You Ever Noticed

The following from some un-
known exchange expresses ou r
ideas to a nicely in more than one
thing: Did you ever go to a
town and admire its beautiful
homes. it's we'll kept streets. its
good walks, pretty lawns and
shrubbery? Did you compliment
the people who were responsible
for such pleasant surroundings?
Didn't you feel desire to live in
such a place? Well that town was
not an accident-it takes labor and
skill to produce such results. and
labor costs money. People who
were responsible for the well-kept
town were living OH higher plans
than money boarding; they realize
the journey of life is made but
once; they believe in cultivating a
love for the beautiful; they merely
wanted the comforts which money
affords. This characteristic is es-
sential to town building, city
building or farm building. Its re-
suits are apparent in the country as
we'll as in the towns. You see it
exempli6ed every day: the only
trouble is the scarcity of the ar
tic.e."

M HASBoRG DAWN KTT1TAs
Saloon Mems New Tactics

That the wave of sentiment in
favor of local option will force inn
portant reforms in the liquor bust
ness where communities remain
wet is evident on all sides. Sa-
loon men in all parts of the coun-
try have adopted tactics of reform,
seeing clearly that if the evils which
have accompanied their business in
America are not cut off the saloon
will have to go any way.
At the recent state convention of
the Knights of Royal Arch, an
organization of liquor dealers, all
the speakers declared in favor of
clearing the liquor traffic of all
forms of vice, including gambling,
and 1t was suggested that, for the
protection of the business, men,
bers of the organization should
weed out saloon men who counten-
ance violations of the law.
AT Lewiston, Idaho, fearing that
the city may go dry, the saloon
men have now united to drive out
gambling and to suppress the open
town conditions that have prevailed
there for some time. Among the
things agreed upon are compliance
with the Sunday rest law and the
listing of habitual topers.
There are many prohibition
workers who are sorry to see this
awakening of the liquor interests
and not welcome the new recruits
in the ranks of reform, doubling
their sincerity and regretting the
delay Of the more radical reform
which is entailed. But this move
ment might have been expected,
and there are some men in the
liquor traffic who have wanted to
free it from its accomplishments of
vice, even when business reasons
were on the other side.

Twenty-Five million barrels, or g.

this season, according to reports re-
ceived by Harry j. Neeley, secretary
Of the National Apple Show of Spo-
kane, from $1,000 growers operating in
the various belts of the Union.
The returns show that while drouths,
excessive rains or pests wrought havoc
in many districts in the Middle-West.
ern, Eastern and several Southern
states, the entire crop is fully as large
as 10 1907, and is better distributed.
For reasons that have never been
satisfactory explained the apple indus
try has been decreasing rapidly in the
districts east of the Rocky mountains
since 1895, and if it were not for the
great activity of the growers and the
opening of thousands of acres of or.
chard lands in the Western country,
the people of the United States would
be obliged to import the king Of fruit.

Industrial Training Lacking

The length of the school period
and the productive value of the
citizen are closely related.
Industrialism is the great basis
of a nations true strength and
real culture.
Knowing this, we have seen that
there is not sufficient articulation
between the educational and the
industrial systems of the country.
We have seen the indefinite ex-
pansiOn of instruction and the TN.
limited multiplication of appliances
leading to literary and professional
and managing occupations without
any real solicitude about the vital
industrial foundations of the ma
tons happiness and power. A
situation manifestly unjust to the
greater number, even unjust to
those for whom it has done the
most, has resulted. Notwithstand-
ing our boosted universally Of
educational opportunity there has
grown up an absurd hiatus in the
educational system which denies
the just rights of the wage earning
masses and grievously menaces the
industrial efficiency and the ma
terial prosperity of the country.
There should be an open chance
for every American child. The
influences of the schools must not
lead boys who might become ex-
cellent cabinetmakers into being
no account lawyers and girls who
might be first class breadmakers or
dressmakers into being fourth class
music teachers.
The school system has grown
deformed; it is one sided and not
broad enough at the base. Andrew
S. Draper, Commissioner of Ed
ucation of New York State.

COW ON RAMPAGE
IN ORANGE TRIES
TO GORE A GIRL
Men Rushing to Rescue Mar
rOwly Escape Being Tossed
Themselves.

A COW on a rampage shook things ur
in Lincoln avenue. near Mechanic
%strete, Orange, yesterday. Infatuated
by the bright red dress of ~13-year-old
Emma Giltner, who lives in Lincoln
avenue, the COW broke loose as it was
being driven to a slaughter house, and
gave chase to the girl with every evil
dence of an intention to gore her.
The girl was walking along the road
way when the COW escaped from the
man leading it, and the girl
screaming in alarm, started for a near
by doorway. Charles Hudson, a negro
of 6 Dey street, Montclair, saw the
child's danger, and unable to get q
weapon, threw himself at the beasts
head. He was tossed aside, but he had
given the girl time to escape.
John Hierle, of 1Os Lincoln avenue
Orange, an aged man, was going INTO his
house and had turned to hold the child
when the COW darted for him. He
grasped a convenient ash can anc
threw it at the animals head. Their
he ran to his home without undue de-
lay.
The COW was chased to the Lacka-
wanna Railroad and again taken in
charge.

finding no traces of the child got the

On an investigation of the house Mr..
O'Connor found everything in the sew

strewn carelessly about the floors, as
the man had evidently worked hastily
and in the dark. His supreme daring
was shown by his attempt in the early

principal street of the town. The house
is near the sidewalk and around the
corner from the police station.
Mr.. O'Connor said today nothing, so
far as could be ascertained, had been

$500 from the railroad tax and met with
unexpected calls for money during the
twelve months.
There was an item of $115 for night

ON JAS. BRIERLEY
Dinner and Tea Service in
Recognition of His Work

As a mark of the high esteem IN
which he is held, James Brierley, a

b. p. o. F., of West Hudson, was last
night presented with a china dinner
and tea service. numbering 116 pieces
John R. O'Connor. exalted ruler of the
lodge. made the presentation speech.
Mr.. Brierley was completely taken by
surprise.
The testimonial was a feature of a
social session last night in the Elks'
home, Arlington. Mr.. Brierley has ar
ranged programs for almost every So
cial event that has taken place there.
In a short speech he thanked his
brother members for the kindness dis
played by them and said that his eff
forts of the past would be eclipsed by
those of the future.
A musical program was given after
the presentation. Professor Andre
Hector, a noted pianist, gave several
selections. The Kearny Male Quartet
rendered some selections, all of which
were well received. Solos were given
by other members of the lodge, after
which an exquisite repast was had.
