Just By the Way

The Bleacher Lament.


Our football team is on the blink.
This is a bum old college,
With long-haired teachers telling us
That players must have knowledge.
They think a fellow should have Greek
To get an education,
And will not see that football is
The spotlight of the nation.
They think a fellow should Greek
And algebra and grammar,
And real off ~trigonometry
Without a wink or stammer.
They care not how he hits the line
And sends the foe pell-melling;
They rule him off the team because
He did not pass in spelling.
We had the niftiest quarterback,
Twas grand to see him fighting.
They wouldn't let him play because
They couldn't read his writing
They think hat education means
Some dictionary chewing,
A knowledge of philosophy,
OF what some comets doing.
But / most confidently state
That teachers are poor guessers;
tbs football makes a college known
And not the sad professors.

oT HE Board OF Freeholders has now taken action against the
proposal by Montclair and several associated municipalities
to establish a joint sewage disposal plant on 100 acres of
land in Belevine and Bloomfield. The county hospital at Soho is
located close by the proposed site, and the hospital managers have
already memorialized the Passaic Sewerage Commission and the
State Board of Health on the subject, while the authorities of the
two townships are ready to go to any lengths to prevent the carry
ing out of the plan. Perhaps even Mayor Hinck, of Montcair, be.

Los ANdELEs's FEMALE REGISTRATION.

IT T is hard to believe the statement t~elegraphed from Los Angeles,
ii Cal, that 73,029 women have registered in that city in addl-
ton to 10, 662 men, for an election. Los Angeles has $4,000
people, or $4,000 less than Newark, yet Newark this year had only
457S1 men registered. But even if there are that many women in
the California city who are over 81 years of age, and admit it,
it must be remembered that their homes were canvassed and even
the church prayermeetings visited for names. But the women
can't vote at home or at prayermeeting. And many of those who
would not go TO the polls to register are not likely to go there to
vote. There will be a vast difference between the registry and the
poll on election night.

LOCAL HEALTH BOARDS ASLEEP.

THE GASOLINE Peril ON II pAssAIc.

TIA Asst NEWARK borough should not fater in it's determine
IL ton to get rid of the row of big gasoline tanks that an
oil company maintains on the bank of the Passaic river
close to factories employing thousands of hands. And there is
no time to be lost. A great disaster was narrowly escaped on
October 30, when the explosion of a small quantity of the same
fluid wrecked a bas nearby and killed two men. Surely some
law can be found to rescue a crowded region of industries and
homes from imminent peril Newark has a live interest in the
matter, too, and should have it's say.

DINNER STORIES.

A Russian gentleman tells a story of
his first encounter with the English
language.
The day after his arrival in New
York he made a call on a friend on
Fifth avenue, and on leaving inscribed
in his notebook what he supposed to
be the address, copying it from his
trends gate-post.
The next day, desiring to go to the
same place again, he called a cabman
and pointed to the address he had writ
ten down. The cabman looked him
over. cracked his whip and drove away
without him.
This experience being repeated with
two or three other cabmen, the Rus
san turned Indignantly to the police
with no better results. One officer
would laugh, another would tap his
head and make a motion initiating
the revolution of a wheel. and so on.
Finally the poor foreigner gave it
up, and with a great deal of difficulty,
recalling the landmarks which he had
observed the day before. found his way
to his friends house. Arrived there he
delivered himself Of a. severe condem-
nation of the cabmen n the police of
New York.
His friend asked for a look at the
address, and the mystery was solved.
This was the entry:

A COLLEGE FOR NEWARK FIREMEM.

cTTa HE employment of Edward F. Croker, the former chief of
the New York fire department, to conduct a college for
Newark fremen for three months for the training of in.
structors for the rank and file of the department is a excellent
move. Croker is the best frefghter in the United States, and
perhaps in the world, and his great experience in the large field in
Manhattan has taught him lessons of inestimable value to frenen.
He will find earnest and capable students in the Newark depart
