Tanning Industry Thriues in
Jersey Despite HeaDy Costs

creases occurred in New Jersey, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia.
The highest average cost of bark per
core was reported from California. IN
which State practically the only kind
used was tanbark oak. New Jersey
reported the second highst cost per cord
and Oregon the next highest.
The average cost of hemlock bark
per cord was $3.50 in 1908 as compared
with $3.50 in 1907. The highest average
cost for this bark was reported from
New Jersey and the lowest from West
Virginia. Seven-eighths of the total
quantity of the hemloek bark used in
1868 was reported from Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, Michigan, New York and
West Virginia.
The cost of the oak bark consumed III
1903 was almost one-third of the total
cos of all bark reported, and the aver

the monarchy in Spain. 1t has been said of some blunders in
statecraft that they were worse than crimes, and this crime was
worse than a blunder. 1t shocked the moral sense of civilization.
According to a European writer, Africa begins at the Pyrenees,
meaning that the Spanish character partakes of that of the Moor,
who held the peninsula for nine hundred years. We can, indeed,
trace some similarity between the Moorish sultan who lately Gagged
the pretender to his throne, exhibited him publicly and then tor
tured him to death, and the methods of Spanish vengeance It is
lamentable for Spain that Ferrer was executed so lawlessly. Since
the war with the United States the nation has seemed to be get
ting a new birth and entering upon a new and happier era. The
fuslladesat Barcelona fairly puts Spain on the level with the Moor.

LARGER ENTERPRISE
FOR A LARGER CITY

at City Hall was illuminating. The discussion showed how the pro-
iected dockimprovement enterprise had taken hold of the intelligent
mind of Newark and been enlarged upon. 1t displayed an enterpris-
ing spirit that was unknown in our city in the days not long ago,
when Newark had not yet discarded its village clothes and pondered
long over the paving of a street or the placing of a few gas lamps
We have learned to do things in a large way and if the project now
partly entered upon is larger than any previous undertaking it is
because Newark is much larger than it was, and its amplifed needs
must be met with corresponding enterprise.

IT nav be said that the interests of the two cities are identical with
those of the two counties of which they are parts, and, therefore, IL
