THE trustees of the Teachers Re-
tirement Fund have found it neces-
sary to ask the Attorney-G General to
begin proceedings to compel the boards
of education of a number of cities to
comply with the law, and collect from
the teachers salaries the percentage
which they are required to pay into
the pension fund. 1t appears that
some Of the teachers have tired of
their membership in the fund. and
decline to pay their dues, and that
some boards of education refuse to
withhold the percentage. Former
Attorney-General McCarter decided a
few years ago that teacher who once
joined the Retirement Fund cannot
withdraw therefrom so long as she re-
mains In the service of the state.
Only by death or resignation can men,
bership be severed. Experts have re-
peatedly asserted. and proved by fig
ures that it is impossible for the pen
sion scheme to succeed, even If every
teacher In the state joins it and pays
her assessment. 1t will be well for
the good name OF the state that the
validity of the law shall be passed
upon by the courts at an early day.

THE report OF DR.. Samuel B. Eng
lish, superintendent of the sanauorium
for tuberculous diseases at Glen Gard
ner. showed that during the month of
June the average number of patients
treated was 1872, of whom sixty-eight
were males and sixty-four females.
The institution has nominally capa-
city for only 120 patients. During the
month DIR. English examined seventy
nine cases, of which twenty-six were
accepted for treatment; twenty-seven
were rejected, and twenty-six were re-
ferred for further examination. There
were thirteen male and twelve female
patients admitted during the month
and twenty-six discharged. OF the
latter five were apparently cured, ten
we're improved, seven showed that the
disease had been arrested, and one was
not improved. Two were discharged
for failure to comply with the rules Of
the institution, one having been guilty
of indulging in alcohol and the other
having been insubOrdinate.

THE council of administration and
officers OF the Grand Army Of the Re-
public, Department of New Jersey,
found last week after long discussion
that the Wilson act of the last legisla-
ture, appropriating $25, 900 for the uses
of the grand army national encamp-
ment at Atlantic City in 1910. was I'm.
constitutional in that the body of the
act does not conform to the title. And
it was further found that the act was
void in that no appropriation was
made for the purpose.

WHILE it would be good thing for
the townships of Morris county to
have the county roads in the towns
and boroughs turned over to the re-
spective municipalities in which they
are located. with the proyiso that
these municipalities shall continue to
pay for the maintenance of all the
roads of the county, it will require
something more than the vote of a
majority of the freeholders to bring it
to pass, AS shown by Councillor Run
yoh the law provides the method Of
procedure in case action Of this kind is
desirable, but as none of the munich
palities have taken action in the mat
ter or entered into an agreement road
affairs will go along as they have in
the past. 1t is certainly cheeky on the
part of the rural freeholders inasmuch
as alarge percentage of the tax comes
from the towns and boroughs to say
that they shall care for their roads
and also pay the larger share of the ex-
pense of caring for those of the town
ships. This picayune business is a
strong argument in favor of substitu-
ting commissioners for the Anticipated
board Of freeholders.

AT this season of the year the taz
question is Of unusual interest, and
there is considerable newspaper dis
cussion of the desirability pf publish,
ing the assessments. There can be nc
doubt that publicity would greatly aid
in correcting many of the errors and
discrimination. Every taxpayer would
be interested in seeing that his neigh.
Dor secured no advantage. If the peo-
pie want the assessments published
they can have it done by appealing SO
the municipal governing boards.
There is authority for it in chapter
166 of the laws of 1908.

HOSPITAL WORK PROGRESSING

Memorial Hospital wonaen's Associa.
ton Pleased with Results.
At meeting of the Woman's Asso
citation of Memorial hospital held or
Wednesday, July 18th, mention was
particularly made Of the satisfactory
progress of the work during the past
six months. The new wing which
was opened with improved toilet facil-
tiles and needed closets, and attrac.
lively furnish rooms has given real
satisfaction. In the main building
the rooms have been renovated and
refurnished by Mr.. Kip, and have
been much in demand. The nurses
home has been screened by Mrs. Stone
a dressing room fitted up for the use
Of the doctors and connected with the
operating room, the gift of Mrs. Fred
erick Kennedy, in memory of her
mother; awnings for the sun parlors
given by Mrs. Kissel the Blue room
retitted by Mrs. Thomas Bushnell a
gas stove from Mr.. Foote !; a new oper-
ating table and other fittings from
another friend.
An effort also was made to raise
money to care for the trees which
needed immediate attention to pre-
serve them. 1t is regretted that sufi-
Gent was not obtained to complete
the work, but the most urgent needs
were provided for.
During the past two months sixty
seven operative cases, mostly of a
severe character, have been successful
ly handled. Thirty-one cases of scar
let fever and four of diphtheria have
been cared for in the Pavilion.
While much remains to be accom-
plished, our Pavilion Improvements
being only partly completed, our
laundry needing more thorough
overhauling, and other minor needs
to be filed, we can review the six
months with satisfaction, and we
thank the many friends, whose gener-
oSity has made our success possible.
Owing to rumor current in regard
to the tuberculosis work and the hos
pital we desire to state, that no one
afflicted with tuberculosis is received
or treated in the hospital.
A room in the basement has been
fitted up in which the doctors of the
tuberculosis society are to hold their
clinics, but there will be no contact
in any way between this and the regu-
lar work carried on in the hospital.

The Summit Record truthfully
says:-"T The Jersey City Journal
was for many years one of the most in
teresting newspapers in the state. IUs
editorial page was particularly bright
and entertaining but for the past year
it has evidently been trying to rival
the Newark Evening News as a
bleater and journalistic freak. 1t is
succeeding admirably and the two
papers now have about as much influ-
ence as the Appeal to Reason So
cialist organ published in Kansas"

THE Paterson Press says 80 The
threatened removal Of Congressman
Charles N. Fowler, of this state, from
the Craftsmanship of the house bank
ing and currency committee evokes
mixed comment. Mr.. Fowler is some
thing of visionary in financial mat
tiers, and has not been able to carry
into effect any Of his own schemes.
But he has doubtless been useful as a
brake on the wheels, and, if he has
done nothing positive he has almost
certainly been the means of prevent
ing measures of doubtful value being
adopted through the strenuous battles
he has waged for his own devices. OF
course the loss of so important chair
manship by New Jersey is to be de-
plored. Often a nam who prevents is
of more value than one who does
things"

Has any individual OF, firm or cor

property on the ground that In some
respects it may be public benefit?
Any oil preparation used on roads is
destructive to rubber tires and paint

and to clothing and the dust from
streets where it is used is much worse
than natural dust and must be harm
full to eyes and lungs, The damage
done would more than pay the ex-
ira expense Of sprinkling with water,
yet 1t is spread upon our streets, with

DECADENCE OF THE CANAL.

During the trip of inspection through
the Delaware and Raritan canal, on
Saturday, Senator Silzer, member of
the senate committee, told the in
specting party the. story of the de-
cadence of the waterway as revealed
by the official reports filed with the
state comptroller. From 1854 to 1892
1t was operated at, "a profit of more
than S14 1000, 600, or an average net
income of 1856, 3Ss63 per year. Since
1892 there has been yearly loss,
amounting in the aggregate to S944,-
686.07, or an average of S62. 97s.07 each
year. In 1886 the net profit was 1884,
626.97, and In 1871 > 1858, 35l,T4.
Counsel for the railroad company
sought TO explain by stating that the
falling off in revenue was due to
natural causes RAILROAD service is
quicker, and I'VE are living in a rapid
age" 1t was brought out that the
railroad company was contributing tc
the decadence by falling to provide &C
Communications at locks, and permit
ting the building of low arch bridges
over the canal, The committee could
not discover any reason for the aban-
donment of navigation and meeting
OF the committee will be held at Sea
Grit on July 22nd, when arrangements
will be made for hearings to be hello
later at New Brunswick, Bound Brook
Trenton and Bordentown, when the
former patrons Of the canal will tel
why they no longer use it.

THE argument former Supreme
Court Justice Bennett Van Syckel has
made in the Trenton "True Ameri-
CAM in favor of the adoption of the
proposed judiciary amendments to the
Constitution is ba sed on close study
of the whole subject, for he was one
commission which drafted the amend
ments. He reaches the conclusion,
after summarizing the changes
planned, that only mercenary lawyers
will be against the amendments, for
the amendments will confer benefits
on clients and relieve the latter of
much expense and vexatiouS compiled
tions. The reasons for this conclu-
sion are clearly stated. If the amend
ments are adopted, justice will be
more expeditiously and more econom-
ically administered. The courts, as
recaSt, will be able to prevent avoida-
BILE delay and more speedily dispose of
the real controversy. This will make
the courts themselves, and not the
lawyers, responsible for all delays.
They will be empowered to transfer at
once case begun in the wrong court
to the proper tribunal without ex-
pense. The relief from the duty of
serving on the Court of Errors bench
will restore to the counties the SER
vices of Supreme Court justices. AS
result, litigation in each county will
be disposed of in the county, subject
to but one appeal. These are advan-
tages that should appeal to laymen,
especially those who have had exper-
fence in the courts and who have been
the victims of the laws delay. The
only interests that should object to
the change are those who find advan-
tage in prolonged litigation and are
willing to pay for it in the hope of
thus firing out litigants who are not
financially able to continue the con-
test for justice.
