A NICE JOB.

One of our best rough-and-ready
estimators has figured out that
there were just 1858 boys in the
United States Wednesday who
would have surrendered their chance
of becoming President for the priv
ilege of standing in the shoes of
Master Fixter, of Harrison, who de-
livered an address of welcome to
the chief executive.

EVIDENTLY NO COLD STORAGE LEGISLATION

IN SSEMBLYMAN HOUSED. of Mercer county, chairman OF the
~ Assembly committee on labor and industries appears to have
a cold storage place of his own. Last month Assembyman
James introduced a bill providing that goods placed in cold storage
houses should be labeled with dates. The bill was committed to the
care of Housed. and, as it appears, was promptly placed In cold
storage. where it will doubtless remain. HouseFs constituents In
Mercer are as much interested in the cold storage of foods, their
quality and prices, as are the people of Hudson county, and Houseis
evident dissemination to the James bill cannot reflect sentiment in
Mercer. What does it reflect?

FOR EARLY JUDICIAL DECISIONS.

TIA ARLY judicial opinions upon questions of the constitutional
liz iy or the construction of statutes II always desirable,
and often necessary and important. Belated opinions
do harm by their delay. A bill has been introduced in the
Senate empowering the Governor to submit such questions to the
chief Justice for an advisory opinion, the. chief justice to submit
the question to the Supreme Court or to a branch court. of which
be shall be a member. This device to procure early opinions is so
simple. and obviously so necessary, that there would seem to be
NO reason why the bill should not be reported and passed without
more ado.

Investigation is rife. 1t is impos-

themselves or are being organized
into investigating committees to
play it.
Here and there, but not here in
Essex, a lone investigator starts out
on the trail of a trust to make his
tory.
In this county the Investigations
have centred about the Essex
County Asylum for the Insane. 1t
has been investigated and probed
from the top to the bottom, and the
investigating committees have in
yestigated each other.
Now that summer is coming or,
we suggest that an investigating
committee be sen up there to take
samples Of the upper air about the
place so we may know it is fit for
the song birds to breathe.

The prompt arrest of the negro rutian
who shot two college young men whom
he had insulted on a Central railroad
train should be followed up by as
prompt a trial and conviction, and the
severest penalty the law will allow.
The man who carries a loaded revolver
means murder upon provocation,
IL he is ignorant OF vicious he is dis
posed to give the ~provocation himself,
as it is charged this negro did. IN
justice to the colored ace, which can
not control its own criminal element, a
salutary example should be made of
every such criminal. With more
severity by the courts perhaps the ex-
traordinarily large percentage of negro
criminality in New Jersey will be re-
duced.

In the judgment of DR.. Wiley, chief
Of the Bureau OF Chemistry of the
Department OF Agriculture, "the
who does not know how to cook Is a
failure, no matter 10Y much higher
education she has" The mature wis
dom of the world indorses that opinion.
If a good servant-cook is a rare treas
ure. hard to retain, how much more so
is the good housewife-cook, who can not
only do good cooking herself, but can
train a greenhorn servant to cook we'll.
The helplessness and dependence of the
housekeeper who doesn't know how to
properly prepare food is often pathetic.
And how many miseries and even TRACE
dies of domestic life grow out of this
ignorance.

The formal opening of the newly
established Public Museum at the Free
Library last night was a noteworthy
event. From little aeorns giant oaks do
grow. From such beginnings have been
developed most of the worlds famous
museums. Newark may be said to have
now made its start as an art centre.
True, it's private collections are rich in
art, but these represent only the opu-
lence and taste of individuals. 1t Is the
public museum that shows the art taste
of the community. We predict that ere
two decades have passed the museum
started last night will take a worthy
rank among the public museums of the
United States.

The indefatigable City Clerk Connolly,
who has now established the Municipal
Employment Bureau on a solid and
permanent basis, proposes to do, what
he engaged to do some time ago, extend
the benefits of the system to women.
Housekeepers especially will welcome
this Innovation. and as they learn it's
advantages their applications will grow.
Women who want domestic work will
find in the bureau a safe, convenient
and inexpensive means of getting good
employment. All other classes of fe-
male workers will alike be benefited.
New York's Democratic leaders have
wisely pooled their issues. Usually
when the Democratic party gets a good
chance to carry IN election the leaders
and factions fall afoul of each other
and queer the whole business. The
rank scandals at Albany and other
causes look to a Democratic victory
next November, but a big Democratic
fractional fight in the State would serve
to dissipate the pleasing prospect ant
give the Republicans a new lease of
power.
