WITH President Taft's arrival at
San Francisco last Tuesday his trip is
just about half over. In point of po-
litical interest, it is more than half
finished. A speech on inland water
ways at New Orleans, and one or two
addresses later on the old subject of
the winning of the south are the only
events of political interest that re-
main. The presidents trip thus far
has carried him into eighteen states,
in fourteen of which he has spoken.
He has visited twenty-eight cities and
he has delivered more than ninety
speeches. His speeches show that he
has the courage of his convictions and
does not seek tosmake political capital
by compromising his views on current
topics.

d. L. & w. Tries New Electric Car

u. L. d w. Tries New Electric Car.
Furthering the much-talked of plans
for the identification of the Lacka-
wanna railway branch lines, officials
of the company are trying out new
patented electric car. This car, which
generates the electricity that propels
it, could be used on the Morris & Essex
division and the Montclair branch.
The demonstration car arrived in
Hoboken Saturday, after making a
trip;from Buffalo on the Lackawanna
lines. Wednesday afternoon the car
made trip to Port Morris and return
In about five hours.
The new Car resembles a large su-
burban electric car, except that there
is 10 trolley, as the car generates its
own motive power. This is done by
the means Of powerful gas engines,
which operate electrical generators,
and the electricity is in turn applied
to the driving wheels by motors. Its
average speed is fifty miles an hour,
though it can be run at a higher rate.
The car may also be used as motor
car and will haul three trailers carry
ing seventy-tive passengers each.

ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GEN ERAL
GAsKILL agrees with Governor Fort,
that Columbus day should be observed
as a legal holiday in New Jersey, next
Tuesday in accordance with the evil
dent intent of the legislature, notwith-
standing the defect in the title of the
act, which amends law that is said
to have been repealed. Public offices,
the banks and the public schools will
be closed, but there will be little in
terruption to other business. New
Jersey now has eleven legal holidays
during each year, and that is enough.
June and August, with March or April
accordingly as Good Friday falls in one
or the other, are the only months
without holiday, while February and
November each has two.

TIE telephone bills sent out on the
first of the month were made out to
the g New York Telephone company"
The New Jersey part of the title
has disappeared. This is in conse-
quence of the consolidation of the two
corporations, which places New Jersey
in the New York district, and the
headquarters of the company will be
in the latter city. The local manage
ment will remain the same, but it is
promised that one result Of the con
solidation will be greatly improved
and more extended service.

EVERY school teacher in New Jersey
is affected by the decision of State SUI
perintendent Of Public Instruction
Charles J. Baxter, that state GER
titicate is valid license to teach in
any district in this commonwealth,
which. being interpreted, means that
the local board must recognize di-
ploma from the state normal schools
without examining the holder, unless
the certificate does not cover some
specific requisite of the place to which
appointment is being sought.

meeting on Tuesday last adopted rules
and regulations for the medical in.

sidered and among those approved

PAULINE EsTELLE DoLAND.

My friends mourn the home-going
Of Pauline Estelle Doland on Satur-
day, the Iwenty-tifth day OF Septem-
Der. Her life seemed so precious to
all, particularly to the broken hearted
father and mother, that in the first
shock Of grief we could only see dimly
the wisdom of our Heavenly Father,
so true, so tender, so loving.
. Some day the silver cord will break.
And 60 more as now shall sing;
But. . the JOY when shall wake
Within the palace of the King
And shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story Saved by grace"
Then. when gathered around that
lifeless form we listened, tearfully and
reverently, to the comforting words
from her Pastor, our vision began to
clear, we truly felt His presence and
our hearts responded to the hope of
the coming OF the Lord"
Not now, but in the coming years,
1t may be in the better land.
Well read the meaning of our tears,
And then. sometime, we'll understand.
Then trust in God thro' all thy days,
Fear not for He doth hold thy hand;
Tho dark thy way. still sing and praise;
Sometime. sometime. we'll understand.
In the beautiful little graveyard at
Succasunna she was laid away, and
how our vision of the wisdom of the
Heavenly Father became, when, I'M
der cloudless sky and the evidences
Of dying year around us, that verita-
BILE Man of God," young with his
weight of ninety years, in tender and
comforting words, consigned that
young life of twenty years to the
grave.
We loved Pauline, ouEf' little girl, ;"
we loved her for her strength of chris
tian courage. her faithfulness, her de-
votion and dependableness.
With your heart trust in your Father,
With your heart believe in me:
With your heart hope for the mansions
On the shores of Crystal Sea.
So let not your heart be troubled !"
Though great fluctuations come;
Naught can steal away your treasures
Father. Saviour. Mansions, Home.

essary in order to live UP to the sched-
ule as laid out.
Mr. Wheeler will also supervise the

TRAVELLING WITH TAT I.



When President Taft left Boston on
his trip of nearly 1900 miles and GOV
ering a period Of forty-eight days he
occupied the private car Mayfiower
The newspaper men WHO accompanied
the chief executive were installed in
the private car Haselmere, while a
baggage provided by the New York
Central railroad carried the impedf
menta Of the party. This baggage cal
will make the entire trip. President
Taft did not intend to travel by special
train on his long trip, but the fact
that the presidential party had two
sleepers and baggage car made it
necessary to run them as second sec
ton of regular trains. The railroad
officials said that it is impossible to
load their regular trains down with
three extra cars and keep up schedule
time and that they preferred to run
the presidents car as a second section
of their regular trains.
Besides Secretary Carpenter, Wendell

rapher, will accompany Mr.. Taft on
the entire trip, reporting the presidents

FOSTER BACK TO
COUNTY HOSPITAL
Away Three Days But Couldn't
Tell Where he Had
Been

William Foster, an inmate Of the
County Hospital, who walked away
from the institution on Thursday
night, returned this morning apparent
ly none the worse for his wander
ings
Foster is said TO be slightly derang-
I'd. He has been at the County Hos
pital for is months When he left
the hospital it was thought that he
would walk to Elkton, where ne is
supposed to have relatives. on Thurs
day night he aroused James McAllis-
ter, a farmer at Bear Station. and
frightened him with his assertions that
his people we're being murdered at
Elkton. McAllister would not admit
the man to his house and he probably
did not go far beyond Bear station
before deciding to return to the hos
pital The man could not tell this
morning where he had been as he is
not acquainted with the country.
