Stealing of a State
Second Of Series of Articles Show
ing Up the Essex-Hudson Scheme.

The quiet Indifference with which
the New Jersey newspapers (other
than those published IN Essex, Hudson
and Passaic counties) have viewed the
scheme for foisting new constitution
upon the State is appalling There
have been few half-hearted remarks
but nothing like real opposition, and
it seems ridiculous that with all the
newspapers published in counties
other than the three above named, it
remains for The Lanbertville Record
alone to start fight against what if
carried into effect, would prove the
greatest iniQuity in American history
One paper-and the only one in
which We have caught a word of oppo-
Sition the past week-sayS, in part:
The party which would deprive our
county of Senator will not stand we'll
before the voters of our community
FOR years to come" We would like
10 tell our brother publisher that it
will not make any difference whether
the voters vote or not if his county
and our county-HunterdOn de-
prived of senatorial representation.
There has never been a demand for
brand new constitution for the State
from anybody excepting a crowd of
politicians who expect to reap some
reward therefrom. Whatever changes
are needed in the present constitution
can be made without tearing the whole
document to pieces and building a new
one
What would be thought of a man
whose house needed repairing and
who, instead of repairing it, tore it all
down and threw away the debris.
trusting to someone else to come along
and build him a new and better one?
And yet this man would be sane and
conservative compared with the people
of whole State who threw away the
bulwark of their liberties and handed
over to the people of Hudson, Essex
and Passaic counties an exclusive
franchise to establish a new one for
them.
New Jersey is situate different from
any other State in the Union in respect
TO its political control. While essen
TALLY rural, clique from New York
City, who come over nights to sleep,
attempt to run the whole State and
reap all the rewards.
The people of Hunterdon and ADA
cent rural counties have not yet aWoke

when they do every Senator who goes
70 Trenton will know just exactly
what will happen to him if he allows
the Essex Alliance to get foothold IN
the State through any change III the

Believe in Hogs

|. R. T. Dye of Linn county says
that they are pretty we'll stock
ed with hogs this year they are
mostly of the shoat and pig va
riety, very few fat hogs being
in evidence. w. H. Lane of
Livingston county states that a
good many shoats are exchang-
ing hands there which is consid-
cred a sign of the faith the far
mers have in the future of the
hog market. Corn is high and
the farmers dislike to carry over
many hogs but are keeping quite
q few of the pig and shoat class.

says he is grazing a string Of
lao hogs on his wheat field and
they are doing far better than
| they did last summer on pasture.
With a little corn added he says
they are doing fine.

A farce comedy mingled with
sketches from Brown of Har-

Poorly Paid Teachers

That Missouri school teachers
receive, less money for their
work than any other skilled class
of workers in the state is shown
by figures from the Office of the
state superintendent of schools
Evans. The figures show an
average of $6l.11 for the year
ending June 1913. If the high
salaries of superintendent and
officers principally in the cities
were deducted it would show an
average Of less than $40 pei
month for the rank and file oi
teachers. The state pays from
$50 TO SIS per month for janitor:

An Explanation

(. Embarrassing occasions arise
sometimes in a newspaper mans
career when things occur that
will undoubtedly give some peo-
pie the idea that accidents are
things done purposely. Some-
times an item Of news will be
overlooked, forgotten, under cir
cumstances that might make il
appear twas done with a pur-
pose. Mention is made Of this
80 that persons may know this
is not the case. To the junior
editor Of the Courier, whose duty
it is to handle most of the news,
he has no enemies when it comes
to printing the news. All people
stand on the same ground. His
personal enemy would get just
as square a deal in handling Of q
news story as his best friend.
News writing is business. Pub
fishing a newspaper is business,
strictly, and is so considered by

Horse and Hog Favored

Many persons have felt that
secrecy and Misrepresentation
are the important factors in de-
yeloping and maintaining the
sale and use of patent medicines
and have been agitating for pub
licity in connection with the act
i've ingredients of widely adver-
tised nostrums. Despite the
strenuous opposition on the part
of the manufacturers of nos
trums, some degree of publicity
has been forced on them through
the federal state food and drug
laws which requires that the
presence of limited, active or mar
cotic drugs be announced on the
labels of the preparation design
ed for use as medicine either
for man or other animals" A
decided advance on this rather
limited number of drugs is evi-
denced by a law mentioned in
public health reports for October.
This law, in force in Kansas, re-
quires that before any manufac-
turer, jobber or other person
shall sell or distribute in the
state of Kansas any live stock
remedy he shall file for registra-
tion with the directory of the
Agricultural Experiment Station
a certificate stating, the English
name of each ingredient used in
the manufacture of the remedy
he registered" and it is further
provided that when any of the
substances, to wit: minerals and
acids: the following elements or
their salts; copper, mercury, ar
senic, antimony, phosphorus;
the following substances or any
of their derivitives or p reparation

led as an ingredient of live stock

stated on the certificate. Every
package of live stock remedy
sold or distributed in the state
of Kansas is also required to have
a tag or label affixed thereto bear
ing a legible and plainly printed
statement IN the English langu-
age clearly and truly certifying
the English names of each in

ner of the certificate described
above. This is but another il

least, that the health and well

be affected by taking unlabeled

PAROLE BOARDS MEET

For the first time in number of years a
parole board under United States auspices
held meeting at the State Prison Monday.
In addition to more than 100 Federal pris-
oners in the local State Prison from the
District of Columbia, there are few from
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Iowa.
United States prisoners are committed
for definite terms. Under the Federal law
they are eligible to parole after serving a
third of the sentences.
The parole board in this instance was
composed of R. B. LaDow, of Washington
city, who is superintendent of prisons and
prisoners of the United States all over the
country. together with Warden Henry
Wolfer and DR.. G.. A. Newman, the pris
on physician. The board is provided for
by Federal law, which specifies that the
warden and physician of the various insti-
tutions shall act in conjunction with the
Federal superintendent.
There were thirty-six applications for
parole examined at the new prison by the
Federal Board.
The State Board of Parole also held their
monthly meeting Monday at both the old
and new prisons. There were fifty-fve ap-
plications heard, of which twenty-five were
at the old prison and twenty-three at the
new prison, and the other seven are from
those who are out on parole and are up for
final discharge.
Four paroles at old prison, three at new
prison and two discharges from parole
were granted.

ILLINOIS is putting itself in the limelight.
They are going to try working the prison
ers on road work. 1t may prove success,
but-well put yourself in the ordinary pris-
oners place. Then when state starts in
to try out the so-called Honor System, they
pick out men who live in the state; men
who have very short time to serve; men
whose crime in the first place was practic-
ally nothing. They put the men out to
work on their Honor but the man with
out friends, money or ''Pull," is left in the
prison. If one mans word of honor is
good, why not every other mans in the
prison? Because they are afraid to trust
them. Men in prison are supposed to be
on an equal, no matter what they were be-
fore arrest, and for state to practice what
it breaches, it should give them all an
equal show. There are many men in every
prison who are thoroughly trustworthy, and
there are men whom you could not trust as
far as you could throw an elephant by the
tail, but the latter are entitled to show, as
well as the first, providing they give their
word-but they won't get it, and the state
officials are showing partialitity that
should not exist. The states that have
passed up the ssHonor' call, and are teach
ing the men useful trades and allowing
them to attend night school, in the editor s
estimation, are far ahead of the "Honor''
states in the solving of the reformation
problem.
