Why We Rejoice.

In the manger at Bethlehem was
Graded the hope of the world. That
is why Christmas is the universal fes-
tival. That is why the world re-
joices. But the Manager must be in
terpreted largely In the babe Is the
promise Of the man and the Savior.
1t is not the birth alone that makes
the gospel; II is also the life. the pas
sion. the death. the resurrection. the
ascension. Christmas carries all this
in its happy content There is the
Good Shepherd who gave His life for
the sheep. who leadeth His flock to
green pastures and beside still waters
and whose honor and good name are
pledged TO His leading Us in ways Of
righteousness and paths Of peace. and
there Is the promise Of Jesus that He

Of the table set in the shabby dining
room at home. In the center would
be great bunch of holly, and above
1t would hang little wax angel. At
one end she saw her father, his knife
cutting through the cracking brown
of the turkeys breast. The delicate
fare Of the hotel paled in comparison
to her mothers cooking. At home
there would be large helpings Of
mashed potatoes and. turnips and
gravy. The cranberry sauce would be
served in big dishes.

CARRIER NEEDN'T CARRY
SAFELY TO DESTINATION.
Care and Prudence Only Re-
quisites, Says Court.

TRENTON, June SIN rever5'ng the
Judgment of the district of Bay
onne in the damage suit brought by
Mendel Olsofrom against the North
Jersey Street Railway Company for in
juries received, the Supreme Court, in
an opinion by Justice Bergen, holds
that a Common carrier is not charged
with the duty of carrying a passenger
safely to his destination.
The common carriers duty, Justice
Bergen declares, is limited TO the exef-
else of a high degree of care and pru.
dence in that regard.
Olsofrom was injured while a pas.
senger on a trolley car of the defend
ant company, and claimed that the ac-
cident was due to the negligence ii
the company. He recovered a judg-
ment in the district court. The COM
pam appealed upon the refusal of the
judge to charge the jury as requested
The error alleged in the charge to the
jury vas based upon an INSTRUCTION
which Justice Bergen says was in eff
feet that the company was an insurer
of the safety of its passengers, where
as it's legal duty is limited to exercis-
ing a high degree of are and prudence
in caring for its passengers; therefore
the srule given to the jury for it's guild
ance was not the legal rule and must
manifestly be injurioua to the defend
ant.

GOVERNOR AIRS
VIEWS ON GOVT
BY COMMISSION
Says People Are Trying to Make
Effective Rudiments of
Government.

BAYONNE, June s.-Governor VIII
son last night addressed a large audi
ence in the auditorium of the Bayonne
High School on the subject of commits
sion form of government. He was
introduced by Mayor E.. p. Reichelm,
chairman of the committee of one hun
dred. who favor the proposition, and
upon which Bayonne voters will vote
next Tuesday.
Among other things. the Governor
said that the people of this country,
who are the most enlightened people
on earth, have discovered the rudi-
ments of government and are trying
to put them into effect. They have
been busy since 1875 years ago in max
ing the government so complicated
that they could not conduct it success
fully.
He said he had 10 patience with people
who talk against political machines as
though they were invented out of pure
deviltry. In fact, we made machines a
necessity. The primary object of the
machine, he said, while voters have
been electing officers in this country
for many years, they have not been Sc
lecting them, and he added that there
was absolutely nothing in election un-
less preceded by selection.
Under the commission form of gov
eminent the Governor said st doesn't

matter who you elect as long as the
man is intelligent. Whoever they are
they will be straight as a gun barrel.
People will be sighting down the bar
rel all the while. One objection offered
TO this sort of government is that the
commissioners might play fast and
loose with the members of the police
and fire departments. Why do these
city employees imagine there is dam
ger to them. Because under the ex-
listing political system they have been
made pawns in the game
In another portion of his address the
Governor said that we have all sorts of
Governors, good, bad and Indifferent.
but the worst Governors had not dared
to play with the courts. They would
nave made tools of the courts as they
would of less conspicuous officers IL
they dared.
The Governor said he had believed in
a short ballot all his life and he fur
Their BELOVED that We were about to Sc
cure it. He said that we will have
commission form of government all
over the State, If not soon, at least a
short while later, and there will be
no hard feelings about it," he added.
The times up, but we'll wipe the slate
clean.
