That all diseases can be cured by
bleeding is still firmly believed by sew
eral savage tribes and especially by
the Papuan negroes. When one of
their physicians becomes convinced
that it is necessary to bleed a patient
he goes several feet in front of him,
and then, drawing his bow, he fits a
sharp pointed arrow to it and, after
careful aim. fires the arrow into the
vein which he desires to open. The
arrow. it is said. invariably goes
straight to the mark. and the thorn or
splinter Of glass with which it is tip
ped does the work as successfully as a
lancet. Moreover. the patients never
show the slightest fear, since they are
convinced that from the moment the
arrows pierce their veins they will be-
gin to recover.

COMMISSIONS have been issued to the
recently appointed members of the County
Boards of Taxation, the editor of THE
News being one of those favored. We
have received several congratulations,
printed and otherwise, but the one that
would be most priced has not yet ap-
peared. We had thought our brother
Janney, of the Riverton Era, would be
on the list, but he has thus far refrained.
The reason for this thought was that
brother Janney has undoubtedly under
gone change of mind on the subject of
County Tax Boards. When they were
first appointed he did not hesitate to
speak disparaeingly Of them, and he
quoted with apparent glee from Governor
Forts first message that part which sug-
gested that the Boards should be abol-
ished. He said nothing will please the
taxpayers more than his shot at the
County Boards of Taxation, and then he
gave, In italics, the parts that appeared to
shoot at the aforesaid Boards. But
there has been change and during the
past year there has not line appeared
against the Boards. The genial editor
evidently came to the conclusion that they
were good thing and ought to stay. OF
course he did, for he was candidate for
appointment to the vacancy that was
likely to occur, and he wrote to at least
one of the members of the Assembly ask
ing for support. While there may be
reason to regret that he was mot success
full. 1t is still pleasing to note that he
really thinks the Boards are worth being
continued.

TUESDAY, MAY ., 1910

A NEW YORK grand jury is going
to make inquiry into the source of
certain 'leaks" In connection with
the stock market. lit may have hard
work and it is somewhat sur
prising that 1t should trouble itself over
such an affair. If every "leak" was In
vestigated somebody would be kept busy.
1t is hard work to keep secret or not to
betray confidence. A certain young news
paper man was so very confident about a
recent appointment that he offered to bet
at the rate of five to one that he knew just
what he was doing. The result showed
that he was, as is often the case, talking
through his hat" but the query arises.
WAS he only bluf1ng. or was he trying
to make money on information given him
In confidence2" Either case will fit him.

HUNTERDoN was the first county In New
Jersey to adopt what is practically the
commission form of government. Up to
1904 the county had been governed by a
Board of Freeholders consisting of twenty
one members. That body had been extra
VACANT, members of the board had over
charged the county for services, contracts
had been awarded by favoritism, useless
expenditures had been approved, and
needed improvements neglected. Hunter
don, as consequence, had become motor
ious as the most backward county In the
state.
There was great dissatisfaction. The
taxpayers began an Investigation that re-
suited In scandal and led to an organized
demand for change. In 1902, the Legis
lature had passed the Strong act permit
ting the abolition of the old boards of
freeholders and the substitution of smaller
bodies by the vote of the people of any
county. This act was adopted by Hunter
don In 1908 by an overwhelming majority,
and In 1904 the twenty-one man board
gave way to three man commission.
Under the old board, the average appro-
priation had been about 800, 900 per an
mum. In 1908 the appropriation was
800, 500, and even that failed to meet ex-
penses by $4,000. During the preceding
years a debt of 1850 had been piled up
IS result of insufficient appropriations.
When the three-man board took hold of
the county's affairs, it at once reduced ex-
penses. In the first four years of its
existence the Indebtedness was wiped out.
and in addition the total amount of money
appropriated for county purposes was re-
duced $173, 900. This brought down the
county tax rate from about fifty-eight
cents on 800 valuation to as low as
twenty-seYen cents one year.
Not mile of improved road was built
under the rule of the old Board of Free
holders. Under the commission, twenty
four miles of improved roads have been
constructed, with the necessary bridges,
and have been paid for out of the regular
appropriations. There has never been
year since 1904 when the appropriation
for county purposes has equaled In amount
the last appropriation made by the large
board.
Hunterdon county Is now In the seventh
year of its government under the COM
mission plan. The taxpayers are pleased,
the conditions in the county have been
bettered, there has been no scandal or
hint of misdoing, and all sections of the
county have been fairly treated. -Nesoork

A Collectors BARGAIN.

A Collectors Bargain.
Lord Spencer of Althorp, one Of the
greatest of book collectors, was at
home only in his own field. One day
in browsing about Bond street, Lon
don, he went into the shop of a dealer
in bric-a-brac. The dealer, who knew
him by sight, said persuasively:
Here is a fine bit Of pottery which
your lordship really ought to have,
and you shall have it very cheap-only
guineas."
So Lord Spencer bought it and took
1t home and set it in a high place.
One day a connoisseur of china paid
him a visit, and Lord Spencer showed
his bargain.
what did you give for it?' asked
the connoisseur.
1.-TWO guineas," answered Spencer
rather proudly.
"H'mP' said the connoisseur. AT
that price the marmalade should have
been included"
"What do you meanT
"Why. that precious piece Of yours
is nothing more or less than a shil-
ling marmalade pot with a green this
tie painted on it"

LIQUOR dealers were given plain talk
ing to in court yesterday, and the lines
were drawn still closer. The law is being
more clearly defined and each term of
court something new appears. In his ad-
dress to the applicants for license Judge
Homer urged all liquor sellers to be con-
tinually on the alert to see that the law
is strictly obeyed. If anything hap
pens which makes it improbable or I'M
pleasant to keep hotel there was no law
which prevented man from going out of
business, but as long as he remained in
that vocation he must obey the law. The
reference to the rights of wholesale
dealer was somewhat of surprise and it
puts that class of dealers at somewhat
of a disadvantage compared with former
conditions Under the law as affirmed by
the Supreme Court, wholesale dealer
must sell only In the town where his IL
cense Is granted. As an instance, If man
at Hainesport orders of wholesale dealer
in any other town the latter cannot de-
liver the goods. 1t is not legal for man
in that place to send, by mail or other
wise, to Mount Holly wholesale dealer.
and ask him to deliver the goods, nor
would a resident of Mount Holly be en-
titled, II he bought goods in the town. to
have the dealer send them out of the town.
OF course man may buy in such quanti-
ties as the law prescribes and take the
purchase away from the place. The case
thus quoted does away with what has
been one of the greatest nuisances and
evils the court has had to contend with
the wagon trade. Wagons from places in
and out of the county haye delivered
liquors and have fallen back on the de-
fence that the orders were sent by mail OF
received in such manner as to prevent
the charge of sale at the door. This
will all stop now and the travelling beer
ark will become thing of the past.
