SYSTEM is THE RULE
OF MODERN BUSINESS

There are times when the need OF
business training is painfully evident
among Negroes. The limited oppor-
tunity which we have for acquiring
preparation for twentieth century COM
petition does not in any degree free
us from the suffering and losses that
result from ignorance. The honest
purpose of individuals in the great
majority OF cases is not to be doubted,
but slack methods Of doing, the light
ness with which the word is pledged.
proerastination, forgetfulness, are
worse enemies of good results than
sheer dishonesty. Safes and fire arms
give insurance against the rascal, but
the weak man, who slips because he
will not try to stand up, cannot be
guarded against in that fashion. He
wins confidence only to abuse 1t be-
cause he does not assist his honest
purpose with system.
The thing for the lodges, societies,
businesses and individuals to do is
to divorce business from sentiment

Pnssnlc to be Drained

The Passaic Valley Drainage Com
mission, consisting of James Blauvelt,
of Paterson, president Richard Speer,
of Caldwell, treasurer and Robert B.
Harris, of Montclair, secretary; is
making active preparations to clean
the channel of the Passaic and its trib-
utaries, between Little Falls and
Chatham, during the present summer
and fall. For this purpose bonds will
be issued, and, when the work is COM
pleted, the benefits will be assessed
against the adjacent lands. A meet
ing of the commission will be held this
week, in the law Office of Chandler w.
Riker, and public meeting, at which
the objects and plans Of the commits
sion will be explained to those inter-
ested, will be held in the Pine Brook
Club Hall next week.
/ The members OF the commission ex
pect to clear the channel of all sunken
logs and driftwood, which, when done,
it is believed, will result in more
rapid flow of the current and thus pre-
vent the inundation Of miles of low
land following heavy storms, or at
least that the floods will be of shorter
duration than at present. When this
preliminary work is done, it is pro-
posed to cut a channel on the Essex
County side of the river, beginning di-
! rectly opposite the junction of the
Rockaway and Passaic rivers and ex-
tending northeast through Long Mead
ow to Deep-O-Val Brook, the natural
channel OF which stream will carry the
DETECTED water back into the main
river channel just south of Singac.

No Occasion to Mlzzle Dogs.
Mayor Bennett has given out the fol-
lowing letter:
Morristown, N. j., June %, 1908.
Mayor Bennett,
Dear Sir:-We are informed that re-
Gently some few people have COM
planned that our City is full Of stray
and dangerous ours, and have demand
ed dog muzzling ordinance. Only a
person who has no fondness for dogs
can ask that they be forced to suffer
the torture of a muzzle. Dogs are
often driven into fits by muzzle.
During the four months previous to
June 1st., the date for renewal of IL
censes. the dogcatcher is not supposed
to-be very active. The reason for this
is that it is hard on the owner of a
seized dog to make the former pay two
licenses within few months.
However during the last six weeks
so dogs have been brought to the Ami
NAL Shelter. No one can honestly say
that at present our streets are over
run with unlicensed dogs. There will
always be few of such dogs that no
one can capture. One must expect a
periodical "mad-dog" scare and linn
tied number of people who must have
Mysteries over something. Morristown
has had no mad dog" at large this
year and we hope that you will agree
with us that when the dog licence law
Is enforced, as it is in our town, muz-
cling is quite unnecessary. In quiet,
unoptrusive way, to avoid opposition
as much as possible; the dogcatcher is
frequently at work. The law however
could be still more effectively enforced
if we had an ordinance similar to the
one in Montclair, which fines a person
who fails to license his dog.
On January 31sU., 1908, our Society
sent letter to the Morristown Board
of Aldermen requesting them to con-
slider such an ordinance, but no action
has been taken nor reply received to
our communication.
Hoping for your cooperation with
US in these matters, am,
Yours truly,
Louise Shelton, Il
Secretary.

A PLEASING EXHIBIT
Work Of the Art Department of the
Public school.


The exhibition of work done in draw
ing and handicraft at the Maple aven-
ue public school last week was very
well attended. Most Of the pupils OF
the schools came to see what had been
done, many of them bringing parents
with them. Representative from
other schools and others interested in
educational matters were also there
and expressed their pleasure at what
is being done along these lines.
The work shown includes the sim
plest drawing and paper folding of the
lowest grades to the most advanced
work done in the: high school, in a
number of cases the work of every
pupil in a grade being shown.
In the younger grades there are ex-
hibitionS of modelling in wax, from
mature with drawing of the object.
illustrations in wax, paper cutting,
ETC., of stories. Paper folding, box
making, dictation exercises, etc. The
fourth grade pupils have modelling in
wax from objects, the proportions of
the ball cube and cylinder being given
consideration.
Original designs for pen wipers, blot
tiers and desk pads, also covers for
school work are attractive and col,
lection of plain paper bags folded from
dictation show the possibilities in that
direction. Pretty lamp-ShadeS are an
other feature OF work in the useful
lime, while many original designs in
lines and spacing on squares show pro-
ficiency.
The older pupils show modelling of
candleSticks and paper weights in wax
from original designs also pretty exhi
billions of stencil work, design, stencil
and product being shown in number
of cases. The stenciling is also shown
in actual work in rugs, shirt waist
cases and other useful articles.
Historic ornament has large and
interesting share of the room with
many adaptations to work. Crayon
work is interesting, studies in grays
being effective. The older boys have
a number of good drawings in the me-
chanical line on exhibition and there
are number of notices lettered in
good style. One of these notices by
Joseph Murray was considered so well
done that a frame was provided for it
and it is given a permanent place on
the walls along with charcoal gray
by Catherine Spencer.
On the whole the work reflects great
credit on Miss VanHOrn and shows
progress in the local schools unknown
to the general public.

TROLLEY NOTES.
The Broonton "Times" says

The Broonton "Times" says:
son the first day of July the extern
sion of time granted to the Morris
County Traction Company to COM
plete it's line and have cars running in
Boonton expires. ! It does not seem to
be to our advantage just to extend the
time limit from time to time, for if
we do all the trolley company has to
do is to let us walt until they are
ready to complete the line which may
be long time yet tocome.
I" 1.-The Company has been able to
complete it's line to Hopatcong and no
doubt that was necessary for the fin
ancial betterment of the company
but now that the line is running cars
to Hopatcong we should see that it
comes to Boonton next, The Free
holders have been able to have fine
roads built all over the county but
here and have let this end of the coun-
ty wait, and the same people want the
UIOll0y UullU HIou III UilOoC odiliO ioCC-
tions, but we should see that the line
to Boonton is the next place that cars
run. There will be- strong influence
brough to bear to have the road first
built to Morristowns but the council
here, we take it, has the key to the
situation and they should not grant
an extension without bond"
The new trolley line up the Orange
Mountain from the Valley to st.
Cloud was put in service last Satur-
day. Part Of the route is by the old
cable road tracks, but there are a
number of detours and switchbacks,
which make the ascent Of the noun
t lin easy. The grade is less than on a
number OF hills around Newark where
heavy traffic is accommodated. The
road will extend back about mile
and half from the top OF the hill and
should be continued to Morristown,
as it is the most direct route between
Newark and this pace. At present
there is no connection with the Other
trolley lines, but track connection
with the South Orange and Maple
wood line is promised.

The Way a Criminal Fooled Paris

In the memories Of NJ Claude.
chief Of police during the reign Of Ma
poleon Ill, there is much that is fas-

One of NJ. Claude's experiences was
that In which he was outwitted by a
clever criminal who saw in the police
chiefs resemblance to Berangec when
the poet was at the height Of his pop

Paris and was living as a rich student
in the Latin quarter. then in the height
of its bohemian splendor.
Claude thought to make an easy
capture cf his man by attending GER
tain famous ballroom at the hour when
dancing was at its height. He tells
the story:

him seated among a swarm of pretty
girls and bewitching danseuses.

the youthful spirits there the effect
