paper are open for the publ
cation of communications on
any subject of current interest
and the further fact that the
Mail has from time to time eX-
pressed its independence of at
titude on all political and eco
nomic questions, it has been
assumed that any person hav-
ing an opinion to which he de-
sired to give publicity would
feel no hesitancy in requesting
its publication.
Statements reported to have
been circulated recently by one
or two individuals to the effect
that a communication prepar-
ed by these complainants, on
the subject of a local sewer
system was refused publica-
ton, thereby creating an i'm
preston prejudicial to t h e
Mails reputation for fairness,
is the present occasion for re-
iterating a few facts defining
our relation to the public and
our attitude in treating public
questions.
This newspaper is owned
and personally conducted by a
single individual, unhampered
by any connections or control
by interests inimical to the ex-
ercise of a free and independ-
ent position in dealing with
questions of public policy.
For its editorial utterances,
.nfallibility is not claimed.
Being but human, an editor is
prone to error, as is any other
Individual. Butin thetreatment
Of questions involving the pub

by the sole desire to furnish
facts secured from various and
reliable sources of information
present our views, based
on a consideration of serving
the best interests of the public

the Mail has no apol-
ogy tooffer. That seventy-hve
per cent of the voters who cast
their ballots indorsed the pro-
ject is sufficient justification
for believing in the merits of
our contentious.
Whether the city council
acted with wisdom in deter
mining upon howand when the
bonds are to mature, is a ques-
ton OH which there may be an
honest division of opinion,

a more imperative character
than that Of better police pro-
lection. At frequently recur-
ring intervals burglaries, hNfts
and other de relations occur,
and invariably at night when
the sole guardian of the peace
is off duty.
The most recent burglary, j,
that Of the Babbitt Bros. store,
furnishes an illustration Of
what can be accomplished in
the absence of a night officer.
In this instance no less than
dozen stones were thrown at
one of the plate glass windows
of the store, FIVE of which de-

the town maintained a night

indicate that the city council
had a better appreciation of
the city's responsibilities to its

they assert, exists in all other post

Postmaster Tice says the subject
will be given consideration. 1t will,
most likely, be taken up with the

Brown of the Jersey Central Traction
Company to NEWS representative
this morning. "While l am unable to

Mr.. Brown was told of the many con-
ficting reports as to opening dates of
the line He said the road could not
be completed by July 4th as had been
stated by some workmen, but that it
would certainly be in runnig order be-
fore Labor day.
When seen, Mr.. Brown was with W.

Jersey Central company They were
viewing the work accomplished to date
and expressed their satisfaction that it
was done in such good shape. They
came in an automobile, from which they

Tuesday when they dropped from

money boosted the odds back to ten

found for this figure as there is a
feeling that the odds should drop to

Jeffries's work before the moving
pictures Wednesday may have
caused the rise in the betting, when
his wind appeared bad, but he ap-
peared perfect otherwise. Some at
tributed it to the north wind, others
to the fact that he is not trying to
reserve his lung power Jeffries was
as happy as boy on vacation to-
day, all signs of his recent cranki-
ness having disappeared.
The emergency referee question
will be settled today. The selection
now lies between Charlie White, of
New York, and Francis Nelson, of
Toronto, with the chances largely In
favor of the former. Tom Flanni-

not accept White as Berger's selec-

MAN, BELIEVED
TO Be FORGER,
UNDER ARREST.

A man who gave his name as Will
liam F. Gillespie, his age as thirty
Ave years, and hts address as 3,179
by the Newark police last night
charged with forging innumerable
checks through New Jersey and New
York. For his description, the po-
lice of this city believe him to be
the man who passed two bogus
checks each for $11.65. on Henry
Mccullough and Joseph Jaffee, two
local merchants, last Saturday night.
Gillespie is said to be one of the
cleverest forgers In the country, and
according to the Newark police, has
long criminal record Within the
past two weeks, it is alleged, he has
forged checks aggregating $400.
Affection for his wife, who resides
in Newark, was the cause of Giles
pies arrest. He was seen by a de-
.tective emerging from a saloon, and
was taken to police headquarters.
According to the local police. the al
legged forger must have gone diYs 4.
~ to Newark from this city. as he is
said to have worked up and across
the state from Camden. He is at
present wanted In Camden and also
In New Haven, Conn.
The man who, 1t is alleged, is Gill
lespie, forged the name OF A. r. Mar
tin, a Hobart street painter, to two
checks and cashed them In the shops
OF Jaffee and Mccullough, purchas-
ing the same article, pair Of over
alls, in each instance. Efforts will
probably be made to identify Giles
pie with the local forgeries.
