THE CONNIE NCEMENT
ADDRESS.


Supt. Gotham and the members of
the graduating class were fortunate in
securing Prof. Nj. V. O'Shea to deliver
the commencement address. His sub
iect was The Silent Architect of
Character While he was bright and
interesting he taught valuable lessons.
lncidently he explained and exposed
many so called modern mysteries,
hypnotism. mind reading, etc No
brief synopsis could do the address
Justice and The Democrat will not
attempt to review it. 1t made IA good
and lasting impression, and was
worthy of the man who delivered it.
Prof. OShea is ripe scholar; an
author of fine reputation; distinguish
ed educator, who exerts great power
for good; and withal he is "A plain
and democrat gentlemen. He has de-
both in this country and abroad. He
holds that the chief problem in present
day education is to protect the students
from modern life distractions, so that
they may live simpler life and apply
themselves more vigorously to their
intellectual and physical training
GOOD TASTE.
A feature Of the occasion which
deserves high commendation was the
simplicity and taste displayed by the
graduates i'll the matter Of dress. They
have set a fine example for future years
in this matter, aud in SO doing have
highly pleased the community

A Ball Players Song

'Diek" Rudolph, the star pitcher of
the Boston Braves" told story re-
Gently to old Newark acquaintance
of a comrade who had played on the
same team with him when a member
of a bush league aggregation. Ru-
dolph said that, although the player
had never reached the Majors he
had only himself to blame, as he was
of a too free and easy disposition.
This man, said Dick, had a great
opinion of himself as a singer, and
after a night spent in warbling would
show up for morning practice and in
variably vocalizing at the top of his
voice.
On one occasion the manager of the
team, disguised with the player,
watched him as he was going to his
position and then, after few mo-
ments, walked up to him and said:
ICY, where was you last night?"
20. / was singing in a quartet" re-
piled the delinquent.
What was you singing?" queried
the manager
Left Field,' answered Cy.
whats that?" the angry manager
roared. II never heard of that song"
After the ball. was the answer,
and then Rudolph continued. "he beat

TWO STATES ROAD BUILDING.

comparison of the cost and results OF improved
road building in New Jersey and Pennsylvania shows
an extraordinary difference much to the credit
of the New Jersey State road department and shame
full for Pennsylvania
I'D to the present year New Jersey expended about
"a OOO, 900 for improved roads and the counties
about 0OO, 900, and more than seventeen hundred
miles were constructed Pennsylvania, on the other
hand built 217 miles of road and the cost was $14,-
687527, or about $4,6S7 900 more than the cost OF
New Jerseys seventeen hundred miles of road
statement taken from the accounts OF the
Pennsylvania State auditor shows that the road de-
partment spent $9,3444O8 for overhead charges and
only $534311s for actual road building, or $z4ez2
per mile an extravagant average of cost
Pennsylvania has the well-deserved reputation of
having the worst roads In the Northern States.
Motorists who travel in the State bear witness to
that And New Jersey has the best. But can this
contrast be wondered at when about two-thirds or
the money expended in Pennsylvania Is spent In over
head charges while the actual cost of materials and
labor alone averages much greater per mile than the
entire cost of mile of road in New Jersey?

AN ENrHRA1L1NG BASEBALL FINISH.

The remarkable revival of interest in the national
game evidenced yesterday, when the first game In
Philadelphia played. makes brilliant finish for
season that like everything else in the United
States felt the dire effects of the European 1t
showed that whatever dramatic interest there might
be in the world to engross the American mind, the
love of the national game is deeply rooted and any
diversion of interest is only temporary.
The signal success of the Boston club In the first
game intensified the interest in the series It
had been believed by baseball fans that the Phila-
depha club would repeat it's championship victories
of the past and that the game would be one-sided
If the Athletics had yesterday the general In
terest of the public would have diminished. But
the result at established the fact that the cham
pionshp series this year Is to be splendid struggle
between two well-matched, selected teams the con
summate flower of American baseball Drawn and
skill
That the result of the game yesterday was prin-
cipally due to the pitching of Rudolph, former
player with the International League, is gratifying
to all International League fans. 1t also shows the
value of the minor leagues in training and turning
out frst-class players for the national game. II
Rudolph exhibits good form during the rest of the
series as he did yesterday the national championship
will go to the Hub.

This Bird Was an Angel

When attachments began to be
served in troops upon the burlesque
company playing at the Odeon
Theatre, on Springfield avenue, last
week, New York truekman. named
Bird appeared at the box office ana
presented a bill for upward of $1,000.
whats that for?" asked Sam Ross,
the Odeon manager, aghast.
WELL" replied Bird. when I moved
the burlesque show from Schenectady
to New York my bill was $3.50. The
company couldn't pay, but its man
ager told me that If / would move
them to Troy, N. Y, l could collect
out of the receipts there all that
would be coming to me. l moved
them; but the performers refused to
go on unless they were paid their
arrears. The manager couldn't pay
them, and, as l was already in so
deep. and stood a chance of getting
it all back, I advanced the money to
pay the disgruntled ones.
1.-THE receipts were not up to ex-
pectations; but 1 was assured the
prospects of success in Newark were
brilliant So, what could l do but
again move the company And l
guess I would have gotten all my
money if these COMPOUNDED attach
ments had not been served at the
critical moment"
At last accounts Mr.. Bird was still
waiting for his money.

HaNDycAps IN THE CAMPAIGN.

The political campaign in the United States has
been struggling along against the distracting in
nuences of the European war, and now it is up
against the great national game, which in its wnd-up
has developed enthralling popular interest which
for the moment overtops European war interest
But the political campaign is young as yet II
there is political literature and less attendance
at meetings Just formerly at this time of the
year. is to be strong revival OF interest," as
the campaign draws to close.
National State and local issues combined In one
election are bound to command the attention OF the
voters and in fact quiet campaign Is not an index
of an Indifferent election. Some of the largest votes
polled in elections in the past followed campaigns
that seemed to be apathetic.

ONE OF MAYOR HAUssLING's oFFENsEs.

Mayor Haussling is only indirectly assailed in this
campaign. Experience has taught his enemies that
partisan SANDER only makes votes for him. There is
love of fair play in politics that is always superior
to the acts of political maligners But the Indirect
attack is plain in it's motive and intent that the
simplest citizen understand.
It was the idea of Mayor Haussling to give to the
people of this city the benefit Of buying their fish and
shellfsh at first This act benefaction In ITSELF
was made the basis of covert attacks on the mayor.
Why it is sneeringly asked, should city officials
go outside of their routine duties to engage In the
fish business? Why, says the News, should not the
city engage in other mercantile businesses when 1t
goes to the length of selling fish? Not word of COM
mendation of act that has so greatly benefited
thousands of people at this time of stress has ap-
peared in the News.
1t will be a queer thing II Newark consumers
should be influenced by this hostile attitude to a
public benefaction. now, discreditably being used
against Mayor Haussling
