If the human body is subject to all the dis
eases that science declares constantly lay
in wait for it, and If that has been true for
ages the wonder is that enough human be-
ings are left to be gobbeled UP by Raw
Hibe- Bloody Bones.
The hammer that has been doing Seattle
so much harm in the past few months is to
be burned tomorrow evening and appropri-
ate ceremonies are to be held over the fu-
neral pile. Let US hope that not even the
memory of that dirty little devil will be
left unburned.
Are you for Taft? Like Banquo's ghost
still hobs up serenity before the immortal
Teddy and he does not seem able to dodge
it, go where he will or may Using the
vulgar vernacuar of the street. Theodore
Roosevelt as to supporting Taft, is in hell

Judge Gay having soundly spanked both
the P, I. and the Times for fighting in the
back yard, he now commands them to go
and be good and they have promised to do
so. Now if they will only keep their word
Seattle will be greatly benefited
If the Republican party will follow along
the trail that William Howard Taft is baz-
ing out for it there will be no more hope
of the Democratic party winning the presi-
Dental election next year than for snow
ball to fly through hades.
That was bitter Root that President
Taft had to devour in the United States
senate, but he got through with the job in
fine shape ard now reciprocity is trotting
on towards it's destination in fine shape.
In dismssing the libel suits Of the P. l.
and the Times against each other. it seems
to us that Judge Gay has robbed the SEN
sation mongers of the community of some
very sweet morsels of gossip.
What will President and Mrs. William
Howard Taft do with the tons of silver
they were the recipients of at their silver
ding day is the question that is perplexing
all concerned.
House renting business is said to have
picked up within the past month and with
the first signs of returning life the prices
of rents start to going up with renewed
vigor
If some of the heat of the East and Mid
die West could be distributed over the Pu-

tons would enjoy life to mucn greater
extent.
Dugdale's Giants have been doing some

An address by a British subject, tina

theology in the Union Theological
Seminary. New York, and a resident of
Upper Montclair, was the feature of
the annual meeting of Montclair Chap
ter, Sons of the American Revolution,
in Club Hall. that town, last night. 1t
was the first time a man of that
nationality had addressed the chapter.
The Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick.
chaplain of the chapter. spoke of the
spirit of fraternity and gave several
illustrations of 1t in this and other
countries.
II have been often in funny
places" the Rev. DR.. Black said,
but this, l think, is the most comical.
When asked by your president. Mr..
Sterling, to address you tonight I o
1t as a great joke, and 1 consented to
come here tonight believing it to be a
joke. Now, however, I believe you
were sincere, and it shows to me that
you have adopted me. You are the
aristocracy of democracy. / sometimes
cannot think that the English speaking
race cannot be democratic, because the
Anglo-Saxon thinks there is no one en-
SOQl . a I'll CS 6Ooh GO iC y 1Ak ~
spite of ourselves we are producing
democracy because the English-speak-
ing people believe In working for equal
ity. The bitterness of many Americans
is passing away. Our children are now
being taught a better view of the Revo-
luton than they formerly were"
DR.. Black then told how he, as a
Scotch boy taught at a country school,
looked on the American Revolution. Il
looked on it." he said, "as nothing to
be ashamed of, but something to be
proud of. 1t was a part in the Ions
line of struggle of the English-speaking
people for liberty. Therefore when I
arrived In this country I had no read
justment to make. I believe / would
be a good American, even If / lived in
England"
The doctor then explained that the
lean citizen was that he had been only
four years in this country.
The following officers were elected.
President, George Curtis Sterling; first
vice-president, w. /. Lincoln Adams;
second vice-president, John Brewer

MAYOR Of VERONA
TELLS OF URGENT
NEEO OF SEWERS
Executives Message Also Deals
With Problems Incident to
Growth of Place.

At a meeting Of the Verona Borough
Council last night Mayor John R.. Pratt
presented his annual message. He
called attention to the extension of the
water system and said the sale of
water is proving far more profitable
than was expected. From the profits
he borough will be able to set aside
more than $500 toward redeeming the
water bonds.
Regarding a system. he
said that with the rapid growth
of the borough and the further
sale of water to houses now be-
ing erected, some other method OF
sewage disposal than the one now in
use be adopted. 1t would be wise'
he said. to appoint a special COMMITTEES
TO gather information regarding the
Kind and probable cost of a system
suitable to the needs of the borough.
I'VE have more than $4,000 feet OF
borough streets that are not yet pro-
vided with water MAINS" he said, "but
as a number of these streets have but
few houses It may be several years
before water Installation is positively
needed. Some streets, however, should
receive consideration at an early date,
and 1 would Strongly recommend a
small additional bond issue not to ex-
coed $40, 900 for the further extension Of
our system and for the erection of q
standpipe or reservoir.
The time has come when a clerk
of the borough should give his entire
time to borough interests, and I rec
ommend the appointment of a clerk
under such arrangement at IN annual
salary not to exceed 81 1000. The ex-
pense to the borough would be only
slightly Increased. as the clerk could
take charge OF the water inspection,
which cost $3.50 last year"
Mayor Pratt appointed the following
standing committees: Streets and high
ways, d, II. Slayback, William Ora
ham and William A. Smith; water sup
ply, Smith, Slayback and Charles W.
Brewer; fire protection, Graham, Stay
back and Ernest N. Bush; police,
