Morris tribune., 1909-04-03

as a result of its noise, a team was frightened on
the bridge near by, and ran away and one man
was killed and a girl permanently injured, all
of which cost the city $1,000. The blowing of
the whistle has since been discontinued.
S
Monday was the last day for the introduc-
ton of bills in the legislature, and twenty days
later will be the constitutional time for the law
makers to adjourn. There has been a greater
flood of bills offered at this session than ever
before, yet up to the present time, scarcely any
important legislation has been disposed of,
and there will be worse crowding at the end
of the session than usual.
There appears to have been warm time in
the village of Swanville last Friday, and the
superintendent of schools, the local health Off
Ger, and DR.. Bracken got into alteacation,
a result of which the local officer and Dr.
Bracken were arrested for assault The trouble
grew out of the enforcing of the health regula-
tons, aided abetted by local iealousies. 1t
is not probable that DR.. Bracken, who is the
executive officer of the state board of health,
cared anything about the different factions in
swanville and the whole disgraceful affair
jealouses will give town.
No matter how much money man may
have he does not like to be defrauded. If he
buys coat he wants the cloth to be just what
the merchant says it is; if he buys barrel of
apples he is indignant if he discovers that the
big apples have been put in the ends of the bar
rel and small or unsound ones between, and he
decides not to deal again with the from
whom he bought them. No man wins perman-
ent success who does not deal fairly with his
customers But let not be honest simply
because it pays financially, for there is better
reason-it pays for peace of mind afforded and
the true welfare of the soul-From April Farm
Journal.
In politics popular opinion to-day drifts to-
ward experiments and policies. This
tendency is source of great qualification to
those who love progress and wish to see their
ideals carried out. But during a period like
the present there is always great danger that
the desire for progress will carry the reformer
on to paths that the race is not yet ready to
tread. It is at this point that conservatism has
it's mission to fulfill. It will block the way of
the few in order to 81 the multitude chance
to catch up with the procession. 1t is neces-
sary for person to stand aside once in awhile
and take disinterested view of events in order
to gain an understanding of how useful all the
different factors are that make for human pro-
gress.-Mian Standard.

Princeton Union: No, dear reader, con-
gresemen and United States senators are not
elected for life. The term of congressman is
two years, then if he does not become too smart
and imagine that he owns the earth he may be
reelected for several terms Occasionally
congressman's first term is his last. There
have been several instances of that kind in this
state. A United States senator is elected by
the Legislature for term of six years. Each
state has pair of them. The federal office
holders to it that senator never loses his
job At rare intervals in states. when the
spirit moves them, the voters rebel and elect
Legislators who are not controlled by the federal
machinists, then senator is chosen. The
chief duties of senators and representatives in
congressman are to draw their pay and provide
places for their friends and benchmen.
The time for the annual street and road
work will soon be at hand, and one of the things
that the Morris improvement Union is discuss
ing is how to make the money spent on street
work this spring really count for better streets.
