SEES AN IMPROVEMENT
IN BUSINESS AND POLITICS
Edmund B. Osborne So Tells
Commercial Teachers.
Especial 10 the Newark star.I

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., March %.
The Eastern Commercial Teach
ers' Association held it's annual ban
quet here last night. Edmund B.
Osborne, the Essex county Progress
sive. was a principal speaker. He
said:
An old generation of self-seeking
and self-serving politicians and
statesmen is disappearing and we
are rapidly getting in their place a
new generation of politicians and
statesmen whose success will be
measured not by what they get out
of public life, but by what they put
into it in sacrifice and devotion to
the common good. The old genera
ton of business men, who measured
success by money gathering. is dis
appearing along with the old school
of politics.
THE business bandltsand the politi-
cal bosses of the last generation have
been doomed by the awakened con-
science of the new generation, and
their kind will not reappear in our
time-the old school of porcine
finance and the old school of under
ground politics came up together and
they are going down and out to-
gether.
I'VE must look to the commercial
teachers for the ideals Of the new
generation of business men, who will
interpret business success in terms
of service"

SHOW WORK DONE
FOR LITTLE FOLK
Orange Memorial Hospital
Cared for 301 Children
Last Year.

The publicity committee of the Or
ange Memorial Hospital today issued
a statement of the work done for
children In the institution during
1912. There are nineteen little ones
in the children's ward at the pres
emit time. Out of sol children ad-
mitted during last year but twelve
were private patients.
The waru patients, whose relatives
or guardians in some cases paid from
fifty cents to Sd week toward the
cost of maintenance, numbered 2S9,
but the majority were treated free.
There are a number of endowed beds
arranged for by the hospital auxili-
airy and other friends. and clothing,
bedding and other equipment are fur
nished, but additional funds are re-
quired.
In the large wards a number of
children are recovering from nervous
and organic diseases, operations and
accidents. and in the solarium, with
windows always open are half a
dozen little pneumonia victims. An
isolation room is responsible for the
fact, it is said, that there has not
been a Single eplOeOllC dHiOuS lhc
little folks during the year. Con-
tagious diseases, of course, are not
admitted. but when an inmate of the
institution shows any trace of COM
municable disease the tot is taken to
the isolation room.
One of the features is treatment of
adenoids among school children.
These cases are looked after at the
dispensary during the week, and
every Friday four operations take
place and are followed by the neces-
sary hours of nursing in the hospital,
extending, when necessary, over
night or two.
The campaign for funds will be
opened with dinner at the Orange
Armory on Monday evening, April Ia,
and Will continue fortnight. with
the armory as headquarters. The re-
ceipts are to be shared with the
Orthopaedic Hospital. in Scotland
street. Orange The latter institution
will receive one-eighth of the funds,
the division based on the expenses OF
last year at the two hospitals.

SHERIFF WED|N
MAY Be CANDIDATE
He'll Try for oovernorship if
Jury Bill Becomes Law With
out Referendum.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., March e.
If the jury reform bill, now pending
In the Legislature, becomes law
without the referendum it is prob
able that Sheriff N Peter wedln, of
Hudson County, will become a can
didate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor. The sheriff is OPP
posed to any measure that will take
from the sheriff the power of draw
ing juries. He doesn't like the atti-
tude of Acting Governor Fielder or
Mayor Wittpenn on jury reform.
Friends of both Fielder and Witt
penn have been claiming the sup
port of the sheriff. City Hall sup
porters of Mayor Wittpenn are claim
ing that he and the Mayor had a
conference last Saturday in the
Mayors office and that unless he
runs himself the sheriff's support will
go to the Mayor. On the other hand
the Fielder advocates are just as con-
fident the sheriff will be found fight
ing for Fielder and against Witt
penn.
Discussing the situation last night
Sheriff Wedin said he had no prefer
ence just now.
1T am not committed to any man."
he said. "I shall support that can
didate who most truly represents real
Democratic principles. Many influ-
entail men from all parts of the State
have importuned me to circulate
petition in my own behalf. I may do
so''
II the sheriff makes up his mind to
enter the race the situation will be-
come more complicated, as he has
big personal following in Hudson and
he would cut into both the Fielder
and Wittpenn vote.
Sheriff Wedin was one of tina
Wilson leaders in Hudson County, and
as one of the four delegates large
to the Baltimore convention exerted
considerable influence. He is regarded
as a Progressive. having won his
nomination for sheriff despite the OPP
position of the party machihe.
Mayor Wittpenn's changed attitude
on the jury bill question has lost him
many supporters in the last few days
1.-THE Mayor Is like the weather."
said one of his former supporters.
He changes too often to suit me-
