PROPER GOVERNMENT AT OVERLOOK.

cTT HE Overlook Hospital is too big an institution for a single
ii man to manage in all its departments. There are singu-
larly few men who combine to any great extent profess
sional and business talents. A good doctor is usually an indif-
ferent man of business, and a physician who is thorough in bust
ness knowledge is usually not a frstclass professional man. The
County Hospital for the Insane has outgrOwn the OnelhOrse style
of management it was begun with. Furthermore, the hospital
shodfd be governed by a board of managers selected for their quail
fcatons for the duties. Newark made a most beneficial change
when it abandoned the system of a large elective school board and
substituted an appointiye board. Is the care of twelve hundred
lunatcs patients of less consequence than the administration of the
schools? Does not that case call for as much ability, and thought,
and providence, and integrity? Does the recent history of the
County Insane Hospital teach nothing?

gate the cold storage business in this
city.
If he is. then they should recommend
the appointment of more help for Mr..
Mott, as it will not do to let Hudson
county beat us out in those investiga-
tons. Maybe Mr.. Mott could find 'out
how many rabbits, that were left over
at the end of the season, were placed
in cold storage. 1t does not seem rea-
sonable that all of them were thrown
away. He might also find a lot of
poultry that has been ON ice for some
time in those places.
If he could not do the work alone he
might have Sheriff Harrigan help him,
and the odd War Horse would surely
help the prosecutor see something.

WHAT WILL TAFT SAY IN NEWARK?

NAV ILL President Taft embrace the opportunity of his presence
WV at the banquet of the Newark Board of Trade to make
some utterance of national interest on the great questions
of the day? The President will deliver an address to the board,
and it will hardly consist of formal words. The situation of affairs
at Washington, the general unrest in the country, the doubt and
uncertainty in peoples minds at this time, may impel the Presi-
dent to make some important statement intended for the whole
country. 1t is the modern custom for statesmen and rulers to
employ occasions of public banquets to discuss great questions of
the day and promulgate or explain public policies, and the Amer
lean people are all looking inquiringly in the direction of the
White HonSe.

A STORY REFLECTZNG ON BALLINGER.

m TRANSACTION in the past in which Richard A. Ba1inger,
an secretary of the interior, figured as a private citizen is now
unpleasantly recalled. 1t is charged that Ballnger got in
yolved in a doubtful business venture, and, by his personal soici-
tation, induced others, including wage earners, to invest their money
in it, even after the venture was found to be Improbable and even
bankrupt. One man testifes that he was induced to put all his
savings into the stock upon promise of employment. Mr.. Ballinger
has made a statement in which he affrms he had since repaid the
principal, without interest, to those whom he had solicited. 1t
does not appear that all who lost money by the operation were
afterward repaid. The story is an awkward one to be revived at
this juncture, but, Of course, it has no bearing on the Balinger
investigation.

cTa HE single object of the bill introduced in the Legislature
FL from Ocean county is to shut out from Lakewood the chill
dren of poor families in New York, whether they be victims
of tuberculosis or merely so delicate that they may contract the
disease. Private philanthropy fitted up the Cleveland cottage at
Lakewood for the benefit of the latter class of children, who
are not diseased, but only susceptible TO disease, and chill
dren have been accommodated there for some time, To enlarge
the accommodations Mr.. Nathan Straus, of New York, of
fered the use of q hotel at Lakewood nearly a mile from
other habitatons, and charitable people made a rich endowment.
Opposition by parties in Lakewood has defeated this object. 1t is
proposed in the legislative bill to close the Cleveland cottage and
make it practicable for any New Jersey community to forbid little
children of the poor the benefit of country or sea air in this State.
Ii there is any necessity for increased State authority over sana-
forums it may be provided in this bill, but those features that
bear upon children who are not diseased should be amended out
of the bill when it is reported out of committee.
