of the Roman Catholic church in Nor
ristown, N. j., was smitten on Satur-
day and died on Sunday morning All
of the citizens of that place believe
him to have done great work for the

schools and a very fine hospital, built

met him on temperance platform

preparing articles relating to the
peculiar institutions of his church.

every cass accurate. He was sixty-two

FORT FAvoRs INCOME TAX

Governor Fort transmitted to the
legislature last night the proposed in
come tax amendment to the federal
constitution passed by congress with
a recommendation that it be approved.
The governor states that an income
tax is the most just and equitable that
can be levied /" 1t imposes the exac-
lions Of government, he says, upon
the citizen in proportion to his ability
to bear it and upon the basis of the
wealth which, under the laws of the
country, he has been able to accumu-
late, y The inability to impose an in
come tax If the necessities OF the gov
ernment required it, he says, would
amount to national calamity.
Governor Fort last night sent to the
senate the name of George E. Halsey,
of Essex, as the successor to David
Baird on the state board Of assessors.

THE beef packers explanation of
high prices for their products, that it
is due to a short supply of cattle, will
not do for if the supply was growing
short there would naturally be fall
ing off in shipments to Europe. But
the fact is the shipments are growing
larger, as over 800 head were export
ed from Philadelphia alone last week
and.2,000 are expected to arrive in the
same city this week for shipment to
Europe. When it is remembered the
beef package utilize every part of
steer, from hair to hoof, and that they
get larger prices for their products at
home than they sell for in London the
mystery is why they are so anxious to
ship cattle abroad. The investiga-
tion of the beef trust ought to furnish
a solution

STATE TREASURER VOORHEES, must
be very much gratitied with the laud-

An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application of

This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. 1t penetrates

gives permanent as well as
temporary relief.

The philosopher in passing through
the streets on Sunday on his way to
Sunday school is panied to observe
how frequently the little folks who
start out with clean faces for their
respective schools with the little sum
to contribute to the schools benev-
olence, are tempted to stray into the
open shops and spend the money for
candy. This is unfortunate in more
ways than one. The children are
practically taught to be thieves, as
the money given to them to take to
Sunday school is not theirs. They
are taught disregard for the Sab
bath, as they always see more or less
pleasure seeking around these places.
The whole business is demoraliLing
and these places should be closed up.

MUSINGS OF A PHILOSOPHER
Ethical side of Morristown's Death
Rate-Temptation OF Children.

Ethical side of Morristown's Death
Rate-Temptation OF Children.
In view of the intense interest TAX
ing in the Published statements in re-
gard to the death rate in Morrstown
the question naturally arises, what
difference does it make? Well. the
answer is doubtless that if the reputa-
tion of the town for healthfulness suf-
fers people will not come here. In
other words it is largely a mercenary
interest that we have in this matter
1t effects our property, our trade and
our personal interests. But after the
matter has been satisfactorily ex-
planned and it is shown that our nor
NAL death rate is no larger than in
other place about US what then? Is
it satisfaction to know that from fif-
teen to twenty persons in every thous
and who are with us now will not be
here year from now? When we
mediate on this matter we mentally
pick out the aged and infirm and think
that their chances are poor while those
in active life and robust health will
remain. But the dread messenger
does not seem to reason that way on
the contrary "death loves shining
mark, " and among those who will pass
away this year are some who least ex-
pect it now. Hence it would be well
to consider the eternal rather than
the material interest of this commun-
ity for a brief period and ask not how
many persons are living in Morristown
but how many are living well in Nor
ristown? The injunction is as peril
nent now as it was two thousand years
ago -" Be ye, also ready for in the
hour We think not the Son of Man
cometh."

made up for the occasion: "Who are
we? Don't you know? Many little
diamonds all in a row. We are
small, but we are great; We are
from the Diamond State. Rahl Rah
Rah! Smithers Smithers!'' Then
they all sang Delaware, Our Be-
loved Delaware. 1t was one of
the greatest and most enthusiastic
scenes that ever took place at a
national convention and the delegates
who returned say that they would
not under any circumstances have
missed being there. The meeting
was the last of the gathering and
they closed it by joining hands all
around the great audience and with

On Friday afternoon, November
18th, through the efforts of Mrs. E.
S. Dwight, Chairman of Philan-
throphy, the Club had the pleasure
of hearing about the "Social and
Religious Customs of India" from
Miss Constance Maya Das, a native
Hindu girl. now student at
Woman's College, Baltimore. In
native costume with sweet voice and
pleasing manner, she told of the
Aryan races who came over the
mountains and brought their civiliza
tion to Northern India. That their
religion was bright and happy and
that they worshipped beautiful
things, but that all this has changed
by the influence of the native relig-
ion, which was dark and gloomy and
full of degrading practices and mys-
! ticisms, causing the new races to
deteriorate. During their civiliza-
tion the Aryan race not only respect
ed and revered woman, but gave her
high honors, but under the baleful
influences of native customs and re-
ligion, she had lost this high estate
and could only be restored by the
people accepting Christ and adopting
Christianity. She closed with a
song in her native language. The
program for the afternoon was COM
pleted by a brilliant piano trio,
