his honesty, his courage and his sincerity. When Congress was
in regular session the people observed, approVingly, that President
Taft made no attempt to influence legislation beyond the recon-
mendations of his message. They said he was a statesman of
cool Judgment and much discretion who would accomplish re-
forms in his own way and without welding any "big stick. -
Throughout the period Of tariff discussion in Congress President
Taft stood aioof His Wishes we're known, for he had plainly ex.

Congress legisated in utter disregard OF them he would at least
have his say in the last analysis, when the conference committee

obtained celebrity as Newarks Great White Way Market street
never before presented such an animated and beautiful scene as
it did last night. 1t seemed as if the population OF Newark had
turned out to celebrate the event, so great was the crowd, which
also packed Broad street. Newark now has more than a mile OF
splerdidly illuminated promenade at night, which will be added
to in the near future. 1t will be a great magnet for trade as well
as a means Of social diversion in the evenings. The venture
makes a pleasing Combination of business enterprise and civic
spirit that is altogether characteristic of our welLregulated and

only way to get a water supply is to buy it. The project OF a great
dam at Mountain View, to flood a large region, obliterate small
towns. and make enormous changes at q cost of from $500 900
to SIC, 10000 would, If carried out, immensely benefit the East
Jersey Water Company and give Paterson the opportunity for a
cheap water plant. But the project is all moonshine. 1t will
narer be anything more that a paper enterprise. Nor does 1t
benefit Paterson to put obstacles in the way Of d sister ctyfs
far-sighted enterprise. Better adopt some enlightened policy and
carry it out. Paterson could cooperate with Passaic in getting
a dual supply, or perhaps make some arrangement with Newark.

step. Under municipal management the gas works was a
harborage for political hacks. The plant was run extravagantly
and there was an annual deficit, while the price OF gas was high.
Under private management the price OF gas was greatly reduced,
the city is paid a handsome revenue, and the plant is kept up
TO a high degree Of efficiency. A speculative clique has now made
an offer for Philadelp1ia's water supply plant, which is an en-
tirely different proposition. No consideration should prevail

NI their party, were busy
gathering up suit cases,
satchels and the other travelling
impedimenta, and the hustle all
about the station showed that the
train was about to leave. Natur-
ally our little heroines were
greatly excited. This was to be
their first long trip, although they
had been across the continent
once before, when they went to
see the president inaugurated.
This time, however, the entire
proceeding was different. They
were travelling with lots of bag

Beginning of Story Completed ~ Juniors

Europe needed some clothes for
two girls and mother, to say
nothing of father and Carl. Their
older cousin Kate, nearly 10 and
quite young lady, and her father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Weller,
were going on the trip, too. In
fact, the vacation promised to be
delightful one, and many OF
their friends who attended them
to the station regarded the girls
as extremely fortunate.
They were to make stops in
four of the principal cities on the
way to New York and they ex-
pected to sail within two or three
DAYS of their arrival in the great
eastern city.
