the Democrats wan the control of the
commission. Lawyer Murray is a
member of the State Board of Educa-
ton, and two years ago when an in

State schools was made, he had much
to do with the work of the special
commission. of which former State
Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, Of
Somerset, was the chairman, and he
likewise aided in the drafting of the
excellent bills which were later pass
ed by the Legislature. Mr.. Murray is

Needs OF Lake Hopatcong.
Hudson Maxim, president Of the
Lake Hopatcong Intermunicipal Park
Commission, has called a public meet
ing to be held at the Hotel Breslin, at
which property owners, residents and
visitors at this resort and citizens OF
nearby towns and cities who are in.
terested in the welfare of Lake Hopat-
cong are urged to be present. The OBJ

interested the story of last years fight
to save Lake Hopatcong as a public

of the people and to prevent its sacri-
fee as a portable water supply for
nearby cities. The provisions of a
canal abandonment bill to be intro
duced into the State Legislature this
fall will also be discussed and means
will be taken to raise funds to carry
on the fight for the conservation of
the water of the lake.

ORANGE MOUNTAIN TROLLEY.

Proposed Extension of Line for Direct
Connection with Newark end N Y.
The project for extending the Or
ange mountain trolley line so that a
direct connection can be made with
Newark and New York city, should re-
authorities, in it's general features,
whatever alteration may be necessary
as % details. 1t is plain to everybody
wi o has Travelled about Essex county,
or studied its map, that the lowlands
and hillsides from the river and bay
to the foot of Grange mouhtail. are
already well-occupied, and constitute
Il of the most fourishing cUmmul,i-
ties in the county or, indeed, the
world, in all the better attributes CT
a civilized people. Beyond this crowd
ed district rises a PERCEPTIONS bill
(Which is always called a mountainl,
which commands a glorious view, and
which has rare natural charm and be-
Inefficient air. With wisdom beyond
the ordinary in government, the coun-
ty has taken a large part of the noun
tain crest as Il public park. Beyond
this reservation there are vide STREET
ches of fertile uplands, fine to see,
healthful, capable of great develop
ment, unexcelled in all natural attrac-
tons, indeed. Yet the me thing which
is requisite in these restless days is
lacking-communication by cheap and
easy methods. The hill must be climb
ed by some practicable public convey
ance, quickly, cheaply, easily, and tie
means of reaching the conveyance
from the centres of population uust
be simple, direct, facile. ii the new
proposition now under consideration
yields this, it should be encouraged,
and if it does not meet the case, then
some other plan should be devised to
attain the same result. 1t is not a
selfish proposition, in its main pur-
poses, although there are companies
concerned anxious to make money
from it. The real question is whether
the mountain may be climbed by New
ark at a fair cost for what there is of
delight on the summit thereof. At
least, it is worth considering.
In the three years during which AS
sistant Superintendent Elmer X. Sex
ton has had charge of the school text
books be has saved to the city of
Newark his salary several times over.
He has evolved a system which was
long ago approved by the Board of
Education, whereby all textbooks
must be made to work" During the
school year recently closed, every
book in twenty-three of the city's
schools was used for longer or shorter
periods. Under the new system no
books are exchanged with publishers;
that is, Newark no longer permits a
publisher to take a set of books-say,
the histories in use here-allow a re-
a new history. When books are worn
out new books may be put in, but not
before, and the publishers will take
them and allow a few cents on each.
Another very salutary check on the
publishers which Mr.. Sexton uses is
to return to publishers all books which
are found inferior in binding, stock or
in other ways. One of the leading
agents for school books in the United
States remarked not long ago that he
the interests of the people we're being
so well looked after in the matter OF
school books as in Newark.

Stops the Speeding.

Stops the Speeding.
With a more drastic law to back
him Job H. Lippincott, the commits
sioner of motor vehicles, is doing
much to stop the speeding of automo-
biles in the State, and the crusade he
has conducted against irresponsible
automobile drivers has created a
wholesome respect for his department.
Already several licenses of men who
have shown a reckless disregard Of
the law have been revoked, other au-
tomobile drivers have had to pay
fines, and the activity of the motor
inspectors has reduced carelessness.
Right to Run New Cars Challenged.
The question whether the Public
Service Railway Company has the
right to operate the Newark-Trento
high speed line through Newark with
out a special franchise was raised at
the Board of Works meeting by Com
missioner Gillen. The question came
up on the request of the company for
permission to stop at only stated
points below Clinton avenue and
Broad street. Mr.. Gillen said that the
line was operated as the Public Ser
vice Railroad Company, and that the
former company had no franc hise.

Old Board Dies Hard.

That the old Board of Freeholders
and those behind it will leave no
stone unturned to prevent the adop
ton of the small board law is evidenc-
ed by a report being circulated to the
effect that the County Clerk has no
power to call a special election. 1t is
claimed that the report has been cir
culated in the hope hat it will serve
to prevent voters from signing petit
tons. Success of the plan to prevent
the holding of a special election would
continue the old board in office for
another year.

Hid His Will In a Book.

In 1903 there died at Paris an old
preceptor whose fancy impelled him
to write his memoirs, says a French
journal. In his history he set down
the most insignificant transaction OF
his long life. When he finished Il
volume he had it richly bound and
set it on shelf. He invited his old
comrades to read it. One after another
tried to do so, but did not progress
beyond the first twenty pages. Deeply
wounded in his vanity he devised a
revenge. In his fifteenth volume on
page SAT he inserted his last will and
testament dividing his fortune of 200,
600 francs among his friends. This
fact but not the page was disclosed
to them, communication they receiv
ed with ironic smiles. The facetious
old fellow died, his conscience at rest
his soul in peace His natural heirs
took possession Of his fortune. Il
was not until a year ago, by accident
that the will was found in his me
moirs. The possession by the nat
ural heirs is now being contested ir
the courts.

into the unready hands Of
Hide Its Atheism,

1t isn't :cidental--it is purposeful.
The Socialists want the schools They
want the minds Of the children. They
want them for Materialisn1, because,
as we saw, that is the basis of So
cialism and they want them for the
liberal" view of the SEX relation
because the destruction of the family
is the capstone. Short is the leap
from Bebel to the injection Of "lib-
eral' X-philosophy into the schools.
1t is the most cunning, the most dam
gerous part of the Socialist propa-
ganda. We might let them rant for
ever and everywhere from their soap
boxes, we might let them fill the uni
versities with weak-chinned entfusi-
asts, if they would leave the minds of
the children unpolluted. For it is in
childhood that the real wrong is done.
1t is in the child that science sees the
plastic psychoblast in which tenden-
cies may be set up and features form
ed that will swell into restless tor
rents and harden into adamantine
ridges. Professor James j. Putnam of
Harvard says in one of the Harvey
lectures: That marvellous period
when tendencies are established and
paths of least resistance are laid down.

-" That is what Socialism is
striving for-to sensitizc the mind of
the child-"to make it ready to receive
the form and color of Socialism later,
as photographers plate is made re-
ceptive for the picture.
This is not only the field of u battle
where victory means the most for So

extensive teaching force:fo tafo your
children from the faith and morality
and political system in which you be-
lieve. Your money pays the bills. 1t
is very simple.
1t is no wonder then that Socialism
is reaching for the schools, strength
