sion and Educational Purposes.
Rev. George E. Morris, d. D., pastor
of the Calvary Baptist church, of this
town, returned from his vacation last
week. Part of the time when away he
spent in attendance upon the National
Baptist association convention in New
Orleans, where was represented the
Negro Baptists Of the world number
ing two and a half million. They we're
royalty entertained in that city, the
mayor making an address .of.welcome
at the opening of tie convention, and
the citizens generally treating them
with great respect and very cordial
in their demeanor toward them. The
reports showed that the negro baptists
are progressive and liberal .contribut-
ing large sums for home and outside
purposes. The aggregate Of contribu-
tions for mission and educational pdr-
poses was $4,000. DIR. Morris was
elected a vice president of the associa-
ton to represent New Jersey.
While away DR.. Morris also attended
the Afro-American Baptist State Con-
vention of New Jersey, at Atlantic
City, of which organization he was
elected president for the ninth con-
secutive time. This meeting showed
that the colored people of New Jersey
we're active in religious work and are
making steady gains in numbers and
influence.
DR.. Morris discovered while in the
south that there is less apparent fric-
tion between the two races than there
is in many places in the north.

After successful years experience
with the automobile chemical engine
in use by Independent Hose company
town officials and those of the fire de-
partment are comforting with repre-
sentatives of Resolute Hook and Lad
der company over the purchase Of an
automobile fire truck aad think fav-
orably of the plan.
lit has been suggested that it would
be the best plan not to dispense with
the present fire truck but to keep it in
reserve. The auto apparatus is equip
ped with ladders up to thirty-five feet
in length, long enough to reach the
upper windows and roof Of any dwell
ing. The usual supply of crow bars,
axes, as well as ten hand fire extin-
guishers, are also on the machine.
The fire department officials suggest
that if purchased the auto truck an
swer all still alarms with the automo-
bile chemical engine, thus providing
sufficient appliances TO fight any or
dinary fire. The horse drawn truck
would be supplied with team on call
and would answer alarms only from
certain boxes unless especially needed.
For fires around the park both trucks
would respond.
The automobile apparatus could be
kept in the house now occupied by the
company's red wagon, that machine
being disposed Of under the new
scheme.
With such an equipment MorristOwn
would retain its lead as having re-
markabIy well equipped volunteer fire
department. A decision in the mat
ter will doubtless be made soon as
provision must be made in the towns
budget to be adopted the first meeting
in January. A machine such as sug-
gested costs about $4,000.

REASONS FOR FAILURE.
No Local option Bill in New Jersey
Because of Differing Conditions.

No Local option Bill in New Jersey
Because of Differing Conditions.
Asserting that conditions in New
Jersey were different than those in
the western states j. Frank Burke,
superintendent of the anti saloon
league in New Jersey, ia the Metho-
dist church Sunday morning excused
the failure of the league in securing
the passage of a local option law in
this state, though he asserted that
the local option vote in the state YVES
four times as large as it was when he
took up the work in this state.
The great bodies Of foreign born
citizens in the cities we're mentioned
as one Of the causes for the lack OF
enthusiasm over local option Condi-
tions on the sea coast Of the state
we're also ascribed as reason for
failure as was the very small rural
population of the state.
But the great body of commuters
give US the most troubles said Mr..
Burke. Going every day to New
York or Philadelphia these men pur-
chase New York and Philadelphia
papers and in consequence they are in
touch with politics and business af-
fairs in New York and Pennsylvania
but of their own state they learn but
little"
Mr.. Burke told how in Newark there
we're sixty saloons located close to the
doors of factories and deserted the
treating system in use among factory
operatives, saying that it tended to-
ward the destruction of American
homes.
We are working to write the local
option law on the hearts Of the peo-
ple," said Mr.. Burke. for we know
we must do this before we can get it
written on the law books of the state. :
Telling of having twentysseven paid
workers in the field and of expenses
amounting to s2G0 per day the speaker
asked for contributions for carrying
on the work.
