EDITORIAL OPINION

in the county were never in such a
deplorable condition; we are constant
" receiving complaints Of places
where these roads are virtually inn
passable. The complainants tell us
that when they ask for something to
be done to remedy the shameful condi-
ton, they are met with the statement
that the county is short of funds.
And yet local party organs tell as
the county is in healthy financial
condition Tehre seems to be a
bad discrepancy in these statements
somewhere. We do not undertake to
say where that discrepancy Is. But
we do know that the people Of the
county are very impatient at being
told by political organs that the
finances of the county are in a healthy
condition, while those same people
find their reasonable requests reject.
ed on the ground OF the county's beins
short of funds You cant sing both
tunes at the some time and expect
the audience TO be delighted with the
effect. Why not stop this puerile
twaddle which can only mislead the
thoughtless? Why not state the
situation as it actually is and ther
let US all as good citizens try to
effect the best possible solution?

THE PROyERB HA WAS KNOCKED no sMITHFRFrNs-

When General Grant was president
he gained the friendship OF several
men who had made very successful
careers as leather manufacturers.
One of the closest of these friends
was the late Oliver Hoyt, whose home
was at Stamford Conn, but whose
business was in New York city Mr..
Hoyt was numbered among the five
or ak leading manufacturers Of lea
ther in the United States In that bus-
ness he accumulated fortune Of sew
eral million dollars. Many times Mr.
Hoyt entertained General Grant at his
luxurious home in Stamford. And he
was fond of saying TO General Grant
that be had learned from experience,
as well as from study, that the pro-
verb, There is nothing like leather" 1"
was a true proverb, no matter how
considered.
Another Of General Grants friends
was the late Daniel Fayerweather, who
bequeathed a fortune OF seven mil
lion dollars 10 various American coll
leges He gained his fortune as a man
ufacturer and marketer of leather

Marshall Jewell, three times Cover
nor Of Connecticut, minister from the
United States 10 Russia and postmsst-
er-general in Grants cabinet He, too,
had made large fortune as tanner
and as a manufacturer Of leather.
Others who enjoyed the intimate
friendship Of President Grant were
men who had accumulated wealth
either as tanners, as merchants of
leather, OF as manufacturers. very one
who can recall the first and second
administrations of President Grant
will remember that the intimacy es-
tablished by Grant with leather man
ufacturers or factors or tanners
caused the expression. There is moth
ing like leather, and Grant knows il, -
to become a popular proverb
A year or so after President Grants
return from his tour around the world
he was told by his friend Thomas
Murphy, whom he appointed collector
OF customs at New York, that the pro-
verb. There is nothing like leather
had been knocked into smithereens
1T happened this way, General. Mr.
Murphy said "and know you will be

Of great importance is being attacked
and it is necessary in justice to the in

thousands who receive its benefits, to
contrsvert misstatements of fact and
erroneous conclusions.
We will pass over the incongruity
of this protest being made by Or.
Pierce, who had been on the staff of
the Delaware Hospital for many
years and who failed of recollection
two years ago. Evidently. while on
the staff the doctor did not feel SO
bitter about "the privileges and ad-
vantages accruing 10 certain arro-

physicians" Reformers frequently
originate in this way.
The most vital question before the
public is whether the policy maintain

terests of the institution and the
public II should be agreed at the
outset that the Board of Trustees is
not running the hospital for profit oil

II has maintained for years and which

A BOOsT FOR NEMARK.

From the Newark Ledger.
Newark wants all the industries she
can get to locate here To build up
town its people must help as far
as possible. The industry wishing to
locate must not expect too much. The
people are willing to do what they
believe to be right, but no more. The
industry asking for concessions is
only doing its part. It is up TO the
people Of Newark to take some ac-
tiop in the matter 1t will never
do TO allow it to die Of inactivity. If
the concessions asked can be met by
the people. 80 much good for the town,
If not, find out what can be done.
Action is wanted Call a meeting and
get the sense Of the business men.
Curbstone discussions are never sat
tsfactory. Let the people gather and
have the matter thoroughly discussed
and understood by all.
Newark wants more industries and
when possible help should be given.

Visiting Nurses Association
MOurns for Rev. DR.. 0s-

Sorrow at the death of their presi-
dent. the late Rev. Louis Shreve Os-
borns. and recognition of the vitaliz-
ing force which he infused into the
work of the Visiting Nurses Associa-
ton nv his enthusiasm and inspiration
and by the help of those whose in
terest he enlisted in the work, was
expressed at a meeting of tie associa-
ton yesterday afternoon at Trinity
House. A committee was appointed
TO prepare resolutions expressing the
grief of the members at his death and
their appreciation of his work.
Mrs. T. william Clark was elected
empora president of the association.
The officers elected for the coming year
were: Ms. Benjamin Coe, vice-presi-
dent: RS. Halsey T. Tichenor, treas
rer. and Miss Eleanor McCarter, Sec
rotary.
The treasurer's report showed a bal
ance on hand on February l of $1,065. rs.
This increase over previous balances
was due to the work in connection
with the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany.
The head nurse reported that 9,s40
visits had peer made during the year,
an increase of 1,S74 over 1910; 1881
cases cared for, 1918 of which had
been discharged, leaving So still under
care. Only G. of the patients cared
for had died. Through the Christian
Endeavor Society A patients had been
sent to the country.
The scope of the associations work
has increased and the five nurses con-
stituting the band have been called

Kearny, Belleville, Roseville and Irv-
iagton.
During the eight years of the as
%sociation's work approximately $4,000
has been spent, not including contri-
buttons for special cases. This sum
mas been raised by voluntary contribu.
tons and not through the usual APP
peals TO the public through fairs. ba-
Ears, entertainments or advertising.
The association has worked in har-
mony with the Board of Health, the
t~i-Tuburculosis Society, the Bureau
of Associated Charities and the Fresh
Air Find.
The report suggested that the gen-
eral public might be of great help In
the work by contributing warm CLOTH
ing, sick-room delicacies and fresh
eggs and milk. 1t strongly urged
young peoples societies, Eager to be
of use but 18th no definite aim, to
confer with the nurses.
The gift of a large numbe. of dressed
dolls from the First Congregational
Jube Men rial Church not only brought
Christmas joy to a number of children.
but also enabled the association to
keep sore in reserve to comfort the
little ones during the year In closing
her report, Mrs. Coe said:
ITO all our friends and contributors,
to churches, schools and societies. to
the daily press and to all individuals
who have SO splendidly helped us by
gifts and kind encouragement. to those
who have spread abroad the news of
our h~elpfulness-in short, to all who
have made our uplifting work possible,
we extend our hearty and grateful
thanks, and with 1t the hope that as
the work increases the interest may
deepen and. inversely. that as the In
terest evidences itself in greater sup
port. so may the work increase"
