A Queer Oriain.

1t is interesting and sometimes
amusing to trace the origin Of words.
There is the word "pecuniary," for ex-
ample, which, you know, means relat-
Ing to money. Strange to say, It's
original meaning was cattle" 1t
seems that oxen were the medium of
exchange between the ancient Ro-
mans, one OK being the unit Of value.
The first Roman coins bore the image
Of an OK. and the word "pecus' meant
an OK or a coin according to how you
used 1t.

ROOFING UP
SCHOOL SYSTEM5

Trenton, Nov. 17-At meeting of
the State board of education here to-
morrow, there will be presented a
letter from the Senate committee on
education, or member of that COM
mlttee will be present, asking which
members of the board would meet the
Senate co nInittee next Tuesday, when
the direct probe of the educational
system Of the State would formally
begin.
Senator Frelinghuysen, chairman of
this committee, is anxious for the
committee to begin its work. He
wants the whole subject threshed out,
wants to know what kind of text books
the children are studying, the number
of kinds of such books, why it takes
fees for architects to design every
separate school building in the State,
why there is not uniformity in many
things, SO that there may be saving of
money, and why it costs SO much
money to run the State schools.
While no member of the committee
says he has any idea there is extava-
gance in administering the school
system of the State, there is to be an
effort made to find out what many
things cost. and it is believed that
there will be a serious pairing down of
officials when the committee gets
through with its work.
1t was said yesterday by members of
that committee that such advances
deas of looking after the health of
children will meet with the approval
of the whole committee, but fads and
other things must show cause why
they should not be abolished from the
schools of New Jersey.

SMITH HAD
A WILD NIGHT.
Broke Away From the Sta
ton House.

William Smith, if that is his name,
caused a lot of excitement in the com.
munity last night He had the police
on a long chase and finally wrecked
his fortunes and his person and landed
in the county Jail after several hours
of exciting adventure.
In the early evening he was pounding
a man over the head with beer
bottle and escaped arrest when Officer
Woodruff went after him. Later he
returned to the scene of the conflict
and the man assailed with the bottle,
turned upon Smith with a club. While
Smith was being pounded Officer
Woodruff nailed him and finally locked
him in cell in the station house.
Smith served due notice upon the
officer that he would remain in the
lookup in the neighborhood of Is
minutes. In 12 minutes he had made
good He wrenched a water pipe from
the WALL battered off the lock of the
bar door, broke out the panels of the
wooden street door, ran up to the
City Hall windows and yelled that he
was free man.
Officer Betchner chased him out
Bank street, then through Marion to
East avenue, out to East Lake, on to
the Burlington road. and there the
officer lost the trail.
Smith wandered through the black
night to South Bridgeton, fell through
the railroad trestle near the Dix
Wrapper factory, was drenched in the
mill stream, his head was gashed,
end he later showed up at Shaw s
livery stable pretty much battered up.
DR.. T. j. Smith and Dr. E. s.
Corson were sent for. the broken scalp
was sewed up, and Officer Hamlyn
ana Betchner half carried Smith to
City Hall. The wild adventure
seemed to have the effect of sohering
Smith, and as the rum oozed out of
his system his courage went with it,
and he blubbered around like a calf.
Mayor Hampton came to City Hall
about IL O'Clock last night and com
mitted him to Jail, and this morning
he is wreck of dissolute humanity

-FOUR PRECINCT ELEcTIoN."

Fellow Citizens:-Will you kindly
permit us a few suggestions. The BIZ
annual election of the officers VINO
constitute our Justice Of the peace"
court for precinct No. 1, Chaves CO.,
and also the police court of the city
of Roswell will be held on Monday,
January 18th, 1909. These courts are
so closely related to our civic life and
and have so much to do with the en-
forcement of Law and the mainten-
ance of order in our city and with the
suppression of offenders that it is of
the highest Importance that the Off
cers of these courts be men of char
acter and standing; loyal to our city
and its highest interests. The issues
of this election are momentoqS n
f~ar-reaching. A crisis Is pom US and
every good citizen should subordinate
party interests and party fealty n
take a stand for those things that will
exalt city life and protect the most
sacred interests of our homes. We be-
lieve the citizens candidate, Mr.. A. ].
Welter, stands for civic virtue, for
law enforcement, and against those
influences in our city that would lie
stroy our homes, debauch or children.
and mantle with shame the very name
OF our beautiful city. A vote for Mr..
Weller means a vote for la~w-enforce-
ment, a vote for a purer and better
municipal government, a vote for the
dearest and highest interests of our
families and f~iresides, as well as an
Endorsement of an honest and fearless
public official. 1--WE love him because
of the enemies he has made" Having
nothing in view but the good of our
city and the welfare of every person
in it, we therefore earnestly appeal
to every voter in precinct No. 1, to
go to the polls on Monday next, and
cast his ballot for Mr.. Welter. We al
so appeal to the good women OF our
city to exert every effort to the end
tha a large vote will be cast, not on
ly that Mr.. Welter be elected, but that
he may receive such a rousing major
ity as will awaken a public sentiment
that will be the terror of EVIL doors
for years to come.
Very respectfully,
Executive Committee.
