Another chance ior Newark to land
new industry. Representatives of
the T. A. Snder Preserve Company
were here on last Saturday and con-
ierred with President OF Council
Wright relative to establishing large
factory in Newark. The Snider Com
pany is one of the largest and best
known preserving companies in the
United States, having seven large
plants with the home Office anil plant
at Cincinnati. Should they locate here
they would employ not less than $50
people-about 90 girls and 60 men.
The plant would operate eight months
out OF the twelve and with pay roll
OF approximately $I2oo per week or
about $4,000 per year in wages alone.
In addition to this they will require
75o acres Of tomatoes for their pur-
poses. Conservative estimate places
this at least at $4,000. So it would
be safe to say that this community
would have an addition of nearly $780,
600 in circulation. With this advan-
tage to the outlaying farms, it would
all tend to draw trade to our local
merchants.
The company claims that the farmer
can deliver IS per cent. more tomatoes
from the crop for the reason that they
do not require the grading required by
thecann ing factories.

ordinary canning factory-it is tor

BIG BATTLESHIPS.

The battleship New York, on which work begins this week at Camden, is hailed as the largest in the world, with a displacement of 27.0OO tons. The Arkansas and the Wyoming have only 26.0O0, the biggest German Dread
 nOughts 22.O0O and the British Dread noughts 21.OOO. There may be some doubt about her comparison with some South American ships. however. The Argentine Rivadavia and the Mo reno have been set down at only 25,
 600 tons each, but there is authority for reckoning them at 2s.OOO tons on trial and at30.0O0 when fully loaded. Then there is the Brazilian monster. the Rio de Janeiro, which we are told is to displace 32,00O tons for the carrying of her twelve 14-inch guns. Chile also is planning to build some ships at least as large as those of any other South American power. The New York may not, therefore, be the big gest of all. though we should hope that there was none to match her in actual eficiency.-New York Tribune.

The Socialists for Peace.

It appears to be settled that Ger many and France will not go to war over Morocco. According to the dis patches from Berlin and Paris. hego- tiations are progressing so satisfac- torily that both governments will be surprised if there is a failure to reach an amicable understanding.
 Giving credit where it is due, it must be said that the socialists or the two countries are largely re- sponsible for the conciliatory attitude which the governments have taken toward each other. It is no longer easy or advisable for any European government-with the possible eX- ception of Russia-tO cause war without the consent of its people. Some weeks ago, when the truculent attitude of the foreign offices of France and of Germany had brought at any time since Sedan, the social ists of the two countries spoke out vigorously. The German socialists. for example, made it clear that they are in principle opposed to war; that, nevertheless, should the fatherland be invaded. or wantonly insulted in such a manner that the national honor could not be satisfied short of war, they would fight shoulder to shoulder with other German citizens. But they insisted that the German gov ernment must exhaust every means to secure an honorable peace. The French socialists talked in a similar vein. And unquestionably the scnti- ments of the socialists. thus forcibly expressed, have been needed in both capitals.
 Even a generation ago. the govern ment of either France or Germany would have thought little of consult ing public opinion before plunging into war Now and hereafter. it is quite certain, no power will go to war unless it can have the moral sup port of its people.

"IN BEHALF OF THE GENERAL
 READER"

The presumption that an author Is at liberty to do as he pleases in his own book is contrary to the funda- mental and eternal principle that books are written for the benefit of the readers. The author, after hay ing composed his work for his own delight, to express himself, is under no compulsion to give it to the world.
 He is justified in so doing only if he believes that it will bestow either pleasure or profit upon those who may peruse it. If he refuses to con slider his readers, then the publica- ton of his book is for the sake of the writer himself, not of these read CTS. It becomes an exhibition of es- sential selfishness, mere vanity and vexation of spirit A book ought to
 be rich with the full flavor of the authors personality; primarily 1t ought to express him-but second arily it Is for the sole benefit of the reader.
 A book which is worth while is a
 special message from its writer to the readers; and the reception of the message is, and must be. in propor- tion to the skill with which this mes sage has been phrased to appeal to all who are willing to hear it. To say this is not to suggest that the author must write down to the level of ''the man in the street." and yet many of the masterpieces of litera- ture-Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe," for example. and Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress" Whitman's 70 Captain, My Captain" and Kipling's "Reces- sional," Voltaire's Charles XIT' and LincOln's Gettysburg Address'-are not elevated above the easy compre-
