THE BOARD OF CONTROL.

One feature of the Wakelee bill pro-
vviding for State Board OF, Control to
purchase supplies for alAof the State
institutions, will not appeal to Jersey
men. for it practically shuts all local
merchants and dealers out of the COM
petition by proposing that advertise
ment for bids shall be made in New
York and Philadelphia papers; which
means that the wholesale houses in
those cities will get the contracts.
The law requiring contracts to be
made for the States printing and sta
itionery explicitly provides that all
work shall be done within the State.
The merchants and dealers, who con-
tribute in taxes toward the support OF
the government, deserve at least equal
protection.
The boards Of managers, wardens
and superlntendents of the various in
situations declare that the Wakelee
scheme cannot be enforced, to the adj
vantage of the State, and some OF
them have announced their intention
of resigning if the bill is passed. This
is not to be understood as a threat
but merely as means of bringing tt
the attention of the Legislature the
complications that may follow.
That the boards of managers will bt
seriously handicapped there can be nj
doubt. Many department heads will
testify to the inconvenience and an
noyance caused by the printing ant
stationery contract law and it will b.
much worse in the case of an institu
ton that must consult a Board o
Control before purchasing grocerie
provisions, and especially meats AM
vegetables.
WardenS and stewards are general
chosen because of their special fines
as purchasing agents. AS likely as no
the members of the Board of Control
if tits created, will be politicians with
out their experience or special qualiti
cations. The Wakelee bill is one tina
should be at least laid aside for ful
Their and more deliberate considers
tion than it is likely to receive in tn
rush Of the closing days of the presen
session.

BAD DAY FOR HORSES.

One Serious Accident and Several
Minor Equine Incidents Wednesday.
Wednesday was abad day for horses.
On Wednesday afternoon Hackman
George Dolan and Charles Carroll or
gained an amateur race at the Whip
pany River club. Dolan rode one OF
his hack horses and Carroll was astride
a horse usually hitched to a delivery
wagon. The boys started off all right
but the pace was too fast for the hack
horse which stumbled and fell, throw
ing Dolan off. Dolan received broK-
en- arm, his nose was broken and he
sustained severe bruises. He was
taken to All Souls hospital.
A horse driven by Hickman Jere-
miah Monahan was stricken with the
blind staggers on Morris street We'd
nesday and while running backward
upset the hack, throwing the driver
off and breaking wheel. Monahan
was unhurt.
Thomas Millen's team ran away
Wednesday afternoon. The horses,
hitched to milk wagon ran up Elm
street from the Lackawanna station
and we're caught before doing any in
jury.
Patrick Luby's team bolted up South
street late In the afternoon dragging
a heavy dirt wagon. There was a
great scurrying about the park to get
out of the way of the runaways but
fortunately there was no casualties
and the horses were stopped with no
damage done except to their wind.

AS the public service demands high
class men, it would be very difficult
task to prevent election Of a man to
Congress or appointment to important
Office who did not have some interest
that might be affected by legislation
in which he would be called upon to
take part. There are men in Con-
gress, as in Legislatures and local
boards Of control, who are liable to
call for participation in some legisla-
tion that would or might affect par
ticular Industries in which they are
interested pecuniarily, but that does
not mean that they can influence Leg
isiation in their own behalf Their
colleagues would be very apt to sus-
pect their motives in advocating or
opposing measures, and put little val
ne on their opinions.

Railroad Wages war on scalpers.

Railroad Wages War on SCalpers.
The Delaware, Lackawanna 81 West
ern Railroad company Tuesday opened
a crusade in the United States Dis
trict court against nine defendants
living in Rockaway, Morristown and
Dover, who are alleged to be engaged
in the scalping of Communication tick
cts between those points and New
York. Upon application OF the rail-
road company Judge Cross issued a
rule to show cause, returnable two
weeks from to-day, why an injunction
should not issue. The company sought
a preliminary injunction without no.
tice, but this was refused by the court
on the ground that the complainant
will suffer no material damage pend
ing the rule to show cause.
The defendants are William Ger
rard and Edward H. Todd, of Rocka-
way William Murray, Thomas Hicks
and John Dryer, of Morristown
Michael Inniella, Matric @. Haven,
William S. White and Robert Killgore
OF Dover.
In its bill Of complaint the company
sets up that by the scalping practiced
by these men it loses in revenue be-
tween six and ten thousand dollars a
year. The tickets scalped are fifty
trip annual and sixty-trip monthlies,
The atfidavits attached to the com
plants show thas the defendants pur-
chase Communication tickets and hire
them out at greatly reduced rates.

In former times a period of business
depression was invariably accompanied
by considerable reduction in the cost
of living, but in these days of monop-
oily and big combinations the old law
of supply and demand seems to have
been overthrown. The cost of living
is now the last thing to go down,
whereas it should be the first. During
the past year practically all products
except foods have been lowered in
price and there ought to be some way
of bringing the latter down with the
rest. The people of this country will
never be satisfied until some method
of regulating the prices of necessaries,
based upon the old law of supply and
demand, is again put in effect. The
cornering of foodstuffs by monopolies,
for the purpose of maintaining high
prices under all conditions, is becom-
ing intolerable.

The old burying ground at Whip
pany is in danger Of falling into the
state of neglect and demolition thai
has befallen the Kearny tombs at the
same village.
This small cemetery was the site Of
the first Presbyterian church in this
region and as Whippany was the ear
lest, settlers at Morristown, Bottle
Hiil), afterwards Madison, Hanover
and Parsippany attended service in
this Oldest church.
| BY notes from ancient publications
of the English Society for the Propa-
cation of the Gospel" and printed in
the Record" of st. Peters church,
Morristown, in 1907, we learn that the
earliest services of the Episcopal
church in this part of New Jersey.
were held at Whippany. So Whip
pany held the ancestors of both relig-
ious bodies.
The Rev. Edward Vaughan, of Eliza
BEETHOVEN, in the Record of the En-
glish Society as early as 1881 reported
the extension of his laborS to . New
ark, Whippany and in the mountains. !"
1t is historically chronicled that the
township Whippany was settled in
1856, soon after the settlement of New
ark, and as the Rev. Joseph Tuttle, d.
d., afterward President of Wabash
college and student of history sur
missed the early settlers to be workers
in mines, FORCES being established at
Whippany, at old Boonton, as we'll as
further north. The Reverend Edward
Vaughan's services held at Whippany
and in the mountains were logically
following the discoveries of iron ore by
the settlers.
The Whippany cemetery where
these "rude forefathers of the ham
let" sleep-of the Puritan faith and of
the English establishment-has now
but small and rapidly diminishing
number interested in it's preservation.
Representatives of the families
buried here, if living elsewhere, are
appealed TO in vain, and it is in the
hope of inspiring local interest by
way of the ancestry of the religious
bodies mentioned, that few, feeling
a stronger sentimentt than some of the
residents exhibit have decided upon
making an effort to raise small fund
to maintain decent order in the his
torical burying ground.
Messrs. w. r. Wilson, Edwin Will
son and DR.. Bleything, OF Whippany,
propose as trustee an entertainment
for this purpose which with their own
contributions may assure this result.
In furtherance Of this purpose Mrs.
Ruth McEnery Stuart, the author OF
numerous books largely of Southern
stories which preserve for the future,
pictures of phase of Southern life
rapidly passing away, has consented to
give a reading from her stories April
18th instant.
Tickets will be found at the usual
places and at the Lyceum Hall.

IMMEDIATELY following the defeat
of the local option bill in the New
Jersey Senate Wednesday Senator
Hillery of Morris county introduced a
measure to prevent drunkenness. 1t
provides that board may be appoint
ed in each municipality to submit to
every saloon keeper a list of habitual
drunkards. Selling to such is made
subject to heavy fines. This would be
a good law if it could be enforced. But
it is to be feared that there would be
enormous elasticity by such boards in
drawing the line Of habitual drunk
enness.n

The Montclafr Alumni association
will defray the expenses of three stud
ents OF the high school who will enter
college next fall. The money is loaned
to the students, and after they leave
college and are in a position to do so
the money is repaid by them into the
Students Aid fund. At a recent
meeting of a college alumni associa-

age debt for the college course was 81
900, it took but an average of three
years to pay it off.
