A GOOD many rather stnpid storie

A GOOD many rather stupid stories
have been published recently about
the intention of the Republicans to re
tire their experienced congressman.
There is very little probability OF the
retirement Of any Of them. Congress,
men become more useful with contin-
uous service. The stories about the
substitution. of new men started in a
story by an irresponsible scribe with
jaundiced views and was varied and
amplified by men who would be the
last to be admitted to the confidence
OF Republicans who know of party
plans. 1t is generally a safe rule to
apply to political information from
the inside relating to Republican plans
which appears first in Democratic pa
pers. How could they know the secrets
of their opponents. The answer as a
rule is that they dreamed them. The
stories about the turning down of the
Republican Congressman is one of the
dream stories. City Journal.

MEMS DINNER A SUCCESS.
The Mems Association Of the south
streer Church EntertaIn.


/ street Church Entertain.
! The second annual dinner Of the
Mems Association Of the South Street
Presbyterian Church was, held on Wed
nesday evening There was large
attendance including a good represen-
tation from other churches. The din
ner, gotten up up under the supervis-
Ion Of g. 2. Chew, was ample in varie.
ty, well cooked and well served, while
the table arrangements and decora-
lions were convenient and tasty. All
agreed with the sentiment that the
Association did well :" to choose Chew
TO supervise the chewing.
! After the dinner President Arm
strong gave welcome uhat made ev-
erybody feel at home, and acted as
master of ceremonies. The Briarcliff
male quartet sang "Down in the
Southland, with other selections dur
ing the evening.
The Rev. DR.. Urmy was the first
speaker and most eloquently presented
the Church of Christ as the greatest
Institution cd earth; SO broad in its
scope as to meet every requirement Of
man-religious, moral, political or So
cial; parties and systems change to
meet conditions, but the Church re-
mains steadfast because it is eternal
a unique institution founded upon him
who spake as never man spake, who
lived as never man lived, who died as
never man died and who rose as never
man rose.
The president read rhyming plea
for more and better air in churches by
some modest person whose identity
was not disclosed.
Rev. Irving Berg, OF Catskill, N. Y,
was the next speaker. He prefaced
bis remarks with the difficulties Pro-
lessor Landfear, his first Latin teach
er, had in starting him off in that Ian
guage; he gave as a rule for public
speaking stand up manfully, speak
out boldly, sit down quickly" He
COOK as his theme the relation of men
TO the Church, and showed that. many
OF the pressing problems of the day can
best be solved by men in the Church.
The need of the Church is for men of
vision, to look out into the world and
see the demand for christian activity
and its possibilities; men of action to
take up and do the work revealed to
them, and men of conservation ready
to follow the example of Him who
freely gave up all things for us.
.. W. Ennis brought the greetings
OF the mems organization of the M. e.
Church, and President Stoddard per
formed the same office for the Briar-
cliff organization
+. w. Pearsall, of New York, gave
an interesting talk on mems work for
men, with a number of stories illustra-
ting practical work along this line.
Rev. Mr.. Mr.. MacColl summed up
the results Of the meeting, making
practical applications and moved votes
OF thanks TO those contributing 10 the
success of the meeting. The audience
heartily adopted these motions and
the meeting closed with the DOxology
led by James DoOlittle.

THE application of ordinary business
methods to police court affairs seems
to be attracting undue attention. The
police department is as much part OF
the town government as the street,
sewer or fire department, and its finan-
cial affairs should be treated in the
same manner. The town expends,
including private watchmen, more
than dollar.apiece for every man, wo-
man and child ia the town for protec-
tiol. while not one person in ten ever
require the attention Of the police.
Personal experience with the work
ings of the force show that the men,
bers are conscientious in the discharge
Of their duty and gladly welcome any
help and suggestions that may come
to them from citizens or officials. For
the protection of citizens laws and or
dinances are enacted, and magistrates
should enforce them n the interests
OF the people rather than for the cod
ding of the vicious or degenerate per-
sons who constitute SO small a per-
centage of the population. When it
is once thouehly understood by these
fellows that punishment will surely
follow the offence, and that activity
on election day does not insure them
an Immunity bath, they will be well
started on the high road to good citi-
zenship to the manifest advantage Of
themselves, their families and the gen.
eral public.

THERE is lot of maudlin sympathy
in these days wasted upon drunkards.
While in the Scriptures drunkenness
is classed with the basest sins, and the
enlightened conscience and business
experience condemns drunkenness, so
many persons so treat the drunkard
chat he is encouraged in his dissipation.
A remarkable feature Of the situation
is that while habitual drinkers are re-
garded with disgust or pity, they mag
Inc themselves superior individual and
pose as bar room heroes or good fellows
with their kind, and then go home
and abuse and disgrace their families.
There are too many cases right around
US where men have used their will
power and asserted their manhood to
encourage the belief that a man must
die drunkard.

THE LNsUKGENT

The explanation by the Newark
News" of what is an insurgent in
congress is simply a defense OF insurg-
eDcy To say that be is a republican
because he holds republican credent-
ials, and that he processes TO be pro-
tecti0nist to a certain extent. is no
proof Of his republication when he
fails to act with the majority of his
party and to support the administers
tion in its policies. The" News, = as
do all the newspapers that did not
support Taft and the republican
declaration of principles, persists in
misc0nstruing the platform with refer
ence to the tariff by saying that the
insurgent interprets that plank TO
mean revision downward, just as did
the convention which made it, the can
didate whom that convention nomin-
ated and the people at large" No in
telligent man can read the plank and
say What downward revision is either
expressed or implied. 1t plainly called
for a revision, without regard to
whether duties were to be raised or
lowered, and they have been both in
creased and decreased and the best
tariff law ever enacted is now in force.
President Taft declares it to be such,
and is supported in that belief by the
reports of its operation since going in
to effect. The personal opinions OF no
one or score or republicans are to
supersede those of the thousand rep
resentatives of the party who adopted
the declaration OF principles at Chi
cago, and when the former set them
selves up against vast majority and
insurge they cannot plume them
selves upon their republicanism. The
talk of reading them out of the party
is idle, for they have read themselves
out, and are not to be trusted by the
faithful Of the party. They are SIM
ply apostates when they rebel against
majority rule and have no claim to
party recognition.-Cam Courier.

PRISONERS NEED EXERCISE.


ISudrALASS <Alu ASSOCIATION DISCUSSES
the County Jail.
The weakening Of the physique Of
prisoners in the county Jail by lack Of
exercise and poor food was discussed
at the meeting Of the Morristown
branch OF the State Charities Aid
association held in the Market Street
mission Tuesday afternoon, after
John e. Taylor lad reported that CON
dftions at the jail were better than
usual and that Keeper Carroll was
keeping the prisoners in cleaner sur
Iroundings than before. Mr.. Taylor
thought window at the end OF each
cross corridor in the jail would add
much to the ventilation
President Thomas B. Ironside as
serted that there was well grounded
complaint against the quality of the
food served the prisoners and told
those present what the menu consist
ed Of This brought on discussion
OF the necessity of work for the pris-
oners and after many impracticable
suggestions had been made the execu-
tive committee was instructed to take
up the question of the putting in Of
the windows in the Jail wall with the
jail committee of the board of free
holders and to also see if arrangements
could not be made for exercising the
prisoners.
Mr.. IrOnside said there were fewer
prisoners in the Jail now than usual.
1t was caused in part, he thought, by
the methods pursued by one of the
Morristown police justices in allowing
men convicted Of minor offenses to
pay fine in installments instead of
clapping them into jail.
The presence OF case of scarlet
fever in the county aims house was
reported by the poor house committee.
The cleanliness of the poor house was
spoken Of by Mr.. Ironside, who told of
the emptying every week or ten days
OF the straw beds and the washing of
the covers. There is case of tuber-
-eulosis In the poor house and Mr.. Iron
side told Of conversation he had with
Director Gustav A. Becker, of the
board of freehOlders, when he was told
by the latter that the building Of two
shacks for tuberculosis patients on the
poor house grounds had been recon-
mended The appropriations having
been made for this year it was doubt
full, said Mr.. Ironside, If it would be
done until next year.
But this is a serious matter and
something should be done at once, +"
said one Of the ladies present.
Yes said Mr.. Ironside, !" it is, and
it is also serious matter for freehold
ers if they make expenditures of money
not appropriated for the purpose at the
beginning Of the fiscal year as they are
liable to go to jail for it,"
The proyident savings committee, of
which Mrs. William DeCamp Johnson
is chairman, reported that $5l2 % had
been collected since January, making
total of $40, 250.l9 saved by poor people
through the aid Of the committee since
its inception. There are two new col
lectors, Miss Mary e. Morris and Miss
Brinley.

THE congressional situation is get
ting interesting. We publish in this
issue a letter from Representative
Fowler announcing his candidacy and
statement by State Treasurer Voor-
hees presenting the claims Of Morris
county for the nomination and sug-
costing the name Of James H. McGraw
for the position. Aside from the pol
iticians there seems to be diversity
of opinion in regard to the matter, Mr..
Fowler having both warm friends and
bitter opponents. Local pride, OF
course leads many to favor a Morris
county man, but John ii. Capstick is
sharing public favor with Mr.. Nc
Graw. To add to the complications
Mr.. Fowler is being doomed by some
Of the Progressive Republicans as a
Senatorial candidate.

Morrlstown Band Turned Down.

MOFTlSUOWh 41duu i uEhC0 OOWAs
The Morristown Memorial Day as.
ISOLATION is receiving criticism for en-
gaging a Newark band to play here
Decoration day instead OF the Norris
town band. 1t is said by the commit
tee on music that the local band did
not give satisfaction last year. 1t is
pointed out, however, that the men
have been practicing hard all winter
under new instructor with the ex-
pectation of getting the engagement
and even went so far as to procure new
uniforms for the occasion.
If the Memorial day observance was
private affair, it is asserted, there
would be no grounds for complaint,
but as it is supported by public sub
scription with the addition of an APP
preparation from the board of alder
men it would appear that the citizens
have the right.to criticise. The local
band has been supported by subscrip-
tions to a large extent and is some
what of public institution
It's friends say that last summer it
was good enough to draw hundreds of
people to the Morristown green to
hear its concerts given every Wednes-
day night and they think that with
the winters practice it should give
greater satisfaction this year. The
band may yet appear on Memorial day
for a subscription is being taken up to
secure its services for the boys bril-
Rade, which will have three companies
in the parade on that day.

The Harvard College observatory, one
of the most thoroughly equipped as
Economical institutions in the world. has
on its staff score of women workers.
nearly all of whom are experts in some
special fields. Their accuracy and skill
are much depended upon, the executive
