After tracing American journalism
through it's various stages. General Tay-
lor concludes:
AT last the newspaper! 1t gives the
news for the first time; It has vindicated
and illustrated its name itis more edu-
cational than ever. though less dogmatic;
It is freer than ever, because It has become
too vast a concern to be the mere instru-
ment Of any single personality or any
single clique however powerful; It has be-
come a property instead OF a plaything
It is devoted TO the public interest and is
more clearly the representative OF the
public, because Il is too great to live on
the favor of a few as il once did; It is
mere independent and fairer in politics,
because to attain tho first rank it must
have the respect OF people of all parties.
+ mo mere organ Of any party is a leader
among the newspapers OF any city to-day.
The press is more scrupulous and conser-
vative in all respects than ever before, be-
cause an immense capital is always at
stake.
1T is more influential than ever before,
not only because IL is more widely read
and more varied in its interests. but also
because its opinions carry the weight OF
business sagacity and success, as well as
intellectual acumcn."

TO GROW PEACHES
AGAIN IN JERSEY
Experiment Station Finds Soil
Adapted and Will Urge
the Culture

Peach growing in New Jersey was an
important industry up until the advent
OF the San Jose scale. SO great was the
destruction OF the trees by this pest that
from 1890 TO 1900 the number in the State
decreased from 4,4ia.O0O to 2,747.OoO.
The New Jersey Experiment Station
realized the importance OF the peach
industry TO the State, and decided TO
make a thorough investigation of the
peach problems in order to encourage
the fruit growers, and to place the in
dustry upon a flrmer basis II possible.
Accordingly an experimental orchard OF
1000 trees was set out at High Bridge,
Hunterdon county, I'm the spring OF 1905,
ana an orchard of 615 trees was set ouf
T. ne spring Of 1907 at Vineland, Cum
besiahd county. and an additional plant
Ing OF 5i3 trees was made In the spring
OF 1905
The outlook for profitable peach cui-
ture in New Jersey was never better
than Il is at tho present time. The soil
and weather conditions are favorable.
and the State is better situated with
reference TO markets than any other
peach-growing section in the world The
number OF trees in Delaware and Mary
land has decreased rapidly. as has been
the case In New Jersey, so the conpetf-
tion from this section is very much re.
duced, and, with proper management OF
shipments, It should not be disturbing
factor at the present time.
There are four principal tvpes, of soils
In New Jersey upon which peathes arc
grown-the loamy hill and mountain
soils; the red shale soils; the sandy
trucking soils and the gravelly loans OF
central and southern New Jerse;.

Charcoal Lozenges
A Natural Breath

Charcoal Assists in Gaining And Re
tanning A Sweet Breach.

Breath perfumes should never be re-

odor and never remove the cause. and

lates the action Of the bowels. reliev-
ing fiux, diarrhoea, piles, constipation.
etc Fourth, charcoal oxidizes the
blood, thus preventing pimples and
other eruptions that arise from indi-
gestion and impurities Of tho blood.
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges are a
household necessity and should be in
every home, containing only young
willow wood charcoal and honey. They
are perfectly harmless and any quanti-
" may be taken without i'll effects.

dents think that they want an election If that
were the plan 1t would be possible to have cleo
tions very often, although in actual practice the
referendum has not been productive Of frequnt
elections. \
About the bill there is nothing mandatory as
Mr.. dupont made clear. There is no provision
that the verdict Of the voters at the referendum
shall be enforced. 1t would be merely an ex-
preston of public sentiment, but would, of
course, have great weight with Legislators.
For example, there has been a difference of
opinion with regard to a suggested change in
our street paving law. 1t looks now if the
Legislature will take no action on this bill. 1t
certainly should pass no measure that omits
giving the people of this city the right to vote
as to whether the law shall be changed.
That is about all the referendum provides. 1t
has a good effect in that it enables Legislators
to know the sentiments of their constituents
There may be some objections to il, but they
do not seem. to be well-founded For example,
if the question of whether the city should have
some say i'm the regulation of public service cor
porations were TO be voted on, we guess that
about ninety per cent of the people, if left unin-
huenced, would vote in the affirmative and the
law making bodies might then wake up to DO
something towards carrying out the wishes OF
the citizens.
But if we have no way OF getting an expression
of the people OH this and other matters of pub
lie policy. we can continue to live in an air Of
delightful mystery in which the real government
is conducted in whispers-behind the stage cur
tain, Just as most of the real politics not only Of
Delaware but OF other states are managed The
men who figure as delegates and representatives
and that sort OF thing, represent the powers
that be, or the men or man behind the throne.
There are, of course, notable exceptions to this
general rule. For example, we do not believe
that the men behind the throne have had such
tight strings on the present Delaware I.egsla
ture as they have pulled in times past Still they
do not need tight strings. Reduced to practice,
very few men in the State Senate control all
the real legislation in Delaware
The others make fuss and talk great deal,
without doing much simply because things
so fixed that it is impossible to do much

Newspaper making. like government,

is the ability to make compromises; gov

Newspaper making is no better and no
