HALF OF THE EXCISE FEES 70
THE STATE.

1t has been suggested that one way
for increasing the revenues Of the
state and at the same time not taking
moneys from the schools would be for
an equal division between the munich
pality and the state of the license fees
granted for the sale Of liquor. This
| appears to be, at first blush a sugges-
tion which would lower the income of
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the division
of its license fees, but would in reality
not be so were the proposed measure
of the state excise commission en-. cited
into law raising the license fees, and
at the same time the standard of the
saloons.
According to the statistics in the
excise report New Jersey has 1851 liz
cense places which pay fees to their
respective municipalities in which
they are located OF So, 7O9,410 or an
average fee of S344.6O for each license
granted. OF these fees the state treas
ury receives no share whatever.
Should the legislature adopt the in
crease of fees as recommended by the
state excise commission then the total
amount received as license fees would
be as follows 1903 places located in
municipalities having more than $1,000
population and paying license fee
yearly Of 81, 200 would contribute 3d.
SOB, 900; 66l places paying license fee
of $500 located in municipalities of g.
600 to $4,000 would produce 1919, 500;
while 1,058 places in municipalities of
less than 1900 inhabitants. and paying
$3.50 fee would produce 1894 900, a total
fee of So, 582, $50.
Those who have given much thought
to this subject are of the opinion that
the higher license fee, as proposed by
the state excise commission, would
drive out of business one-third of the
present number of licensed places, so
the revenues would be reduced on this
paper showing of S6.5S2, $50 to 81 ,421,
1888. This is considered conservative,
and on this showing the municipali-
ties would hardly lose anything of Ii
cense revenue were it to divide with |
the state for the license fees would be |
$1,7l2,4 23 more than the present |
amount received by the municipality
at the present rates of fees, this total |
for the whole state being 81, AL 1888.

No more beneticient movement ha:
ever been inaugurated in Morristowr
than that for the treatment of tuber
culoSis announced on the first page Of
this issue. 1t has been recognized fol
years that this class of unfortunates
especially among the poorer class, have
suffered many hardshipS because OF
the lack of public facilities for thei1
proper care. There should be general
co operation on the part of all in this
matter, and especially those threat
ened with tubercular trouble should
gladly avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunity afforded for treatment and by
following out the directions of the
physicians prolong their lives.

WIRELESS telegraphy has at last
convince us all OF the fact. A great
steamship laden with more than a
thousand souls was doomed to sink
with her precious cargo, forty miles at
sea. Hope of rescue lay only in the
possibility that the cry for help might
be corried to other ships through the
medium of electricity, and the effort
was made with the result that the cry
was heard, and while the great ship
was swallowed up by the sea, the men
and women she carried we're saved.
All honor to the man who made such
wonderful thing possible.

Indoor. WORK For Winter.

Setting glass is good work for stormy
weather. Take measurements and have
the glass ready to set at the first OPP
portunity when the weather does not
permit outdoor work. Most barns
ought to have more windows put into
Them for light and air. Several small
windows, are better than one large one,
as they can be arranged to be removed
in summer, thus making the building
cooler and more airy in summer as
well as lighter in winter. The best
plan is to use half of an old house
window sash, setting it in frame so
that it can be moved back and forth.
In summer slide it back and cover
with netting and curtain for fly
time.

KNIVES FOR ROOSEVELT.
Presidents Hunting Outfit Had to In
dereo Remarkable Tests.


derso Remarkable Tests.
A special outfit Of four knives has
been made in Boston for President
Roosevelt to use while on his hunting
expedition in Africa in the spring.
There are two hunting knives a heavy
brush knife, for cutting through dense
underground and a skinning knife.
They are made of the highest grade
American steel and are razor tempered
and razor edged.
The knives were ordered for the
president by United States Civil Serv-
ice Commissioner John A. McIlhenny.
One specification was that they must
stand the test OF cutting through at
one blow quantity of beef and a beef
bone as large as the upper arm bone of
a man and that the one cut must go
clear through without turning the edge
of the knife and chipping the bone.
The knives have passed the test.

STILL TALK OF A
POSSIBLE CONTEST
Nothing Definite as to Opposi-
ton to Seating the Tim
Sullivan Delegates
Controversy About the Pastors
Continues to Afford Matter
for Discussion

Tim Sullvan's victory in the thirty
seventh district over the Wolfe forces
at one angle and the Mauzy forces al
another. continues to be a cause oi
contention. Max j. Kuhl, one of the
Mauzy men of the thirty is
still considering whether it would be
wise to contest the seating of Sulli-
vans degelates on the ground that al
the ballots cast for them, to the num-
her of S22 were invalidated by the
use of illegal pastors.
Sullivan is not dismayed by the
threatened contest. He maintains
with Charles H. Forbes. secretary OF
tho county committee, that the pastors
"a printed with the words republican
delegates" at the top. were legal Be-
sides. he feels that there is no dan
ger to be expected from confess
which can hardly be completed unit
after the convention has adjourned.
SAYS LAW FORBTDs
Kuhl maintains that section of the
direct primary law fully covers
the matter of pastors and that al
that part of section 1865 of the po-
lttfcaI code according TO which the
pasters were formerly used was re-
pealed by the enactment of the new
provision Under the old law the use
of the designation, republican dele
gates" was allowed. but there Is nc
mention of 1T in the new law. Ac-
cordingly, says Kuhl, the new law doe,
not permit 1t.
Kuhl has consulted with George T.
Crothers, Ralph L. Hathorn, Edwin I
McMurray, Joseph E. Cutten and PERI,
Newberry with regard to the advisa'
bility Of preparing to contest. They
decided to leave the matter in Kuhpt
hands At the same time, he does moi
wish to act rashly and is taking coun-
sel.
Even IL we should prove our con-
tention that the Sullivan ballots con
tanned identifying MARKS and should
be thrown out" said Kuhl yesterday
I'VE would make no attempt to inter

The company has Thousands OF acres
