Just thirty years ago Il woman at
Bright, Victoria. planted in her garden
a few seeds of st. Johns wort sem her
from the old country. The woman's
intention was to have one or two Of
the plants at hand for medicinal pur-
poses. The hardy weed, however, soon
spread beyond the garden, and before
any II had grasped the magnitude of
the evil it had been carried by cattle
along all the main stock routes and
jumped the Victorian watershed into
G~ippsland.
1t has now completely taken posses
sion of something like 10000 acres of
agricultural land, and the agricultural
department of Victoria is spending
thousands of pounds in the endeavor
to eradicate it, some of the methods
tried costing nearly $50 an acre.

the women worked for days in plant
ing flowers and shrubbery and the as
sistance received from the railroad A
similar work was done in connection
with the Lackawanna railroad station
at Montclair, where the railroad com

100 barberry bushes for hedge, the
women doing the work of setting out.
Mrs. Charles E. Seabury, of the
Boonton Civic association, had many
helpful hints for the women, touch
ing upon the questions of health so
vital to a community. Dust laying,
the prevention of expectoration, ex-
termination of mosquitoes and house
flies and the suppression of the smoke
nuisance. A press committee was also
suggested by Mrs. Seabury as being a
necessary adjunct of the women's COM
mittee.

THE New York Tribune on Mon
day published an article on New,Jer-
sey politics giving considerable atten-
tion to the fifth congressional district.
1t stated that in case Representative
Fowler should fail of denomination
the honor might come to Morris coun-
ty, and suggested the names Of posi-
Bile candidates. They were James III.
McGraw, e. T. Fl. TaImage, Harry A..
Van Glider and Walter P. Bliss. The
article might have included the names
of John Fl Capstick and Alfred Elmer
Mills as men who are in the public
mind in this connection. There will
be no great scramble for the nomina-
tion on the part of Morris county men,
particularly if the direct primary act
is amended to Include representatives
in congress.

THE Railway assessors are very much
exercised over the proposed repeal OF
the law under which county boards for
the equalization of taxes exist, and
they have passed formal resolution
to be presented to Senator Alderman
and Assemblymen Pierce, Schwartz and
Thompson, urging their efforts to pre-
vent the abolition of the county boards.
They offer very good reason, stating
that before the Inauguration of these
boards the larger cities arbitrarily fixed
their own assessments at minimum
figures and thus forced upon smaller
towns an unequal burden of county
taxes. -" Elizabeth Journal"

If the plans of the national asSocia-
tion for the study and prevention of
tuberculosis do not miscarry, Sunday,
April 24th, will be observed through
out the United States in 2l5,00O
churches as tuberculosis Sunday"
The churches have taken an active
part in the campaign against consump-
tion. 1t is appropriate, therefore, that
on one and the same Sunday in all the
churches of the country services of
praise, of thanksgiving, of instruction
and of warning shall be held. 1t is
planned that Sunday corresponding to
April oath each year shall be observed
In like manner. In short, Tubercu-
losis Sunday is designed to be perma-
nent institution. There are approx
mately 100000 churchgoers in the
United States. The church is the one
agency through which so large num-
Der of people could be reached on the
same day. Thousands of organizations
are expected to cooperate to make the
day a success. Fraternal organiza-
tions. labor unions, social political,
literary and study clubs, Young Mems
and Young Women's Christian associa-
tions, Christian Endeavor societies
the Kings Daughters and Sons, and
various other young peoples societies
arc actively interested AnnrOnriate
literature will be distributed to the
congregations to reinforce the state
ments Of clergymen. Undoubtedly,
the anti-tuberculosiS movement will
receive a great impetus by the observ-
ance of a national tuberculosis Sun
day. AS a result, at least one very
practical benefit should accrue. The
anti-tuberculosis associations should
receive more general and continuous
support than they are now receiving.

CIVIC INDIFFERENCE AND CIVIC
PRIDE.

The condition in which Boston
found herself, and in which many of
our cities are still unconsciously sunk,
results primarily from the indifference
of the great body of citizens to their
civic interests. Absorbed in business,
in society, in the pursuit of learning
or of pleasure, or even in religion, we
are prone to neglect the duties of Cit
izenship, while expecting to enjoy its
privileges. Going to the polls once a
year, or once in two or four years, to
decide whether the new city admins
tration shall be " Republican" or
!" Democratic" -names which of them
selves represent no civic policy can
no longer be regarded as an adequate
fulfillment of the duties of citizen.
In every citizen there are at least a
few men who are alert to profit by
such apathy-no necessarily bad men,
for their worst offense may be the Sc
curing of their own election or APP
pointment to public positions for
which they are not fitted. Their sell
fish alertness must be matched and
thwarued by the unselfish alertness of
men and women who love their>cities
too we'll to allow them to be mis-
managed and misdirected, either wan
tonly or through mere incapacity to
realize their possibilities of beauty,
health, cleanliness and comfort. Civic
pride is giving birth to civic patriot
ism, not only in Boston and Chicago,
but in almost every American city,
large and small. We have stood apart
in civic indifference, and have reaped
the results of our neglect. Now by
the tens of thousands we are uniting
in a common purpose-to make our
cities the finest in the world The
American City.

asserted that Japan in thirty days
could land 100000 men in Hawaii,
while it would take the United States
two years to get 100000 men there to
meet the invaders.
Forty-one foreign ships were EN-"
| ployed by the war department last
year to 90 its work. If all the powder
mills in the United States were to
work twenty-four hours day, assert
ed Mr.. Shaw. we could fight only two
hours every month.
In touching upon another phase of
his subject Mr.. Shaw said that if we
had the initiative and referendum,
direct primaries and the election of
United States senators in the 70'S the
country would have had an unlimited
issue of greenbacks and in the 90's the
free coinage of silver. But the times
are different now where we expect our
representatives in Congress to keep
near the telephone so that we may
tell them how to vote on measures.
Our fathers, said the speaker, created
three coordinate branches of govern
ment, each supreme in it's own sphere
but IN these times we look for the
president to prepare the proper bills
and then force their passage by Con-
gress with the aid of the patronage at
his disposal.
The country needs new markets
for it's productions and Mr.. Shaw as
serted that the last century had been
contest for territory while this CEN
fury would be contest for markets.
1.-THE last century was bloody" he
said, "and God grant the present con-
test may not be, but be no less in
tense" 81 am in favor of a merchant
marine in every way" was his state
ment, "our money is the natural
money of commerce, the English Ian
guage is the language of commerce, our
mines produce gold by the train
load, and silver and iron ore by
the tons, 100000 feet of lumber
is cut from our forests every day,
our manufactures are larger, our pay
rolls larger, we carry more freight,
but England, Germany and Italy bring
their subsidized ships to our shores to
carry our goods. We have the money
but no ships"
For the first time in twenty-five
years Jonathan W. Roberts, the ven
cradle president of the association was
unable to be present. DR.. Stephen
Pierson presided and he spoke of Mr..
Roberts absence and also of the death
of the first vice-president of the asso-
citation, Albert H. Vernam. A mes
sage of greeting from the association
was dispatched to Mr.. Roberts by the
old style of post boy, lad on horse
back bearing the message in an old
continental belt. A cablegram Of con-
CALCULATIONS to the association was
read from William V. V. Lidgerwood,
of London.
i Voss' orchestra played during the
gathering and the singing of patriotic
songs was led by Angelo J. A. Bennett.
Previous to the meeting the Rev.
Franklin B. Dwight said grace over

SENATOR ALDRICH says that if per-
mitted to do so he would undertake to
run the United States government for
$500, 900 a year less than it now
costs. There is nothing remarkable
about this, says the Paterson Call. !"
1t is probably true, that is if the SEN
ator is good business man. Every
body is aware of the fact that public
business is not run on the same prin-
ciples as private business. And that
is the reason that municipality owned
utilities are so seldom successful. when
the same things conducted by private
or corporate enterprise are profitable
affairs.

REPRESENTATIVE Of some OF the
largest cold storage interests in the
country will call upon congress to take
the business under the wing of the
federal government. The cold storage
men will make this move as matter
of self-preservation There has been
such hullabaloo recently about the
use of cold storage plants to corner
food products and so many bills have
been popping up in state legislatures
that cold storage people fear the mil
lions invested in the business will be
ieopardized unless some action is
taken looking toward federal super
vision.
