Two Dandy Rains.

This vicinity has enjoyed two
dandy good rains the past week, the
first one last Friday morning when
,1.19 inches fell and the second one
came Monday night when the govern
ment gauge kept by Morris Gardner
recorded 2.0S inches. It means
much for the farmers of this county,
for the grass has started up green
just like spring and the rains will
put the ground in fine condition for
fall plowing.

Correspondence Study.

The display shown IN a Union
Street store window by the inter-
national Correspondence Schools
has attracted considerable attention
and the question has been raised by
many as to whether or not a person
can really learn thing by mait'
They can.
The editor of the Record has
some twenty-five volumes, covering
a wide range of subjects, issued by
the international Textbook Company
and they are the leaders in their
particular lines.
A studious, earnest person, who
cannot conveniently attend a technlc-
al school, can secure a complete
education through correspondence
study of the right kind.
More than a dozen Lambertville
people are today carrying out work
which they were first trained for,
technically, through correspondence
study, either with the international
or other standard school of that
class.

legislature, which if it becomes
law will authorize the establish
ment of recorders court in cities of
a certain class, among. them Lam
bertville. The function of this
courtwould be solely to hear
and determine charges of violations
of the city ordinances. The court
would have three officials, a recorder,
a clerk, and a sergeant-at-arms.
1t is rumored about the town
that if the bill is passed it is the in
tention of our city council to adopt
an ordinance establishing such a
court, and it is said that the salaries
of the officials will be $500 per year
for the recorder, 5000 for the clerk
and 5000 for the sergeant-at-arms.
A recorders court is not needed
in Lambertville. The offenses of
/
which it would have jurisdiction
are now, and always have been,
dealt with by the mayor and the
justices of the peace of the city.
who, under the law as it now stands
have as ample power to deal with
such cases as the recorder would
have under the pending bill, and do
deal with them at a mere trifing
cost to the city, not to exceed, it
is safe to say, 500 per year.
If the recorders court should be
established, carrying with it salaries
of $500 per year, it is quite likely
that its incidental expenses, such as
stationery, legal expenses, rent of
room, janitor, an occasional inter
prefer, &c, would amount to another
$500 per year and thus the city
would be subjected an increased
fixed charge of approximately $500
annually; or the equivalent of tax
rate of S1.75 on nearly $4,000 of
ratables. The payment of such
sum of money annually for a thing
that is not needed is the extreme of
folly.
10 meet excuses that may be put
forward by persons favoring this
project, let it be distinctly under
stood.
/. That the pending bin does not
require the establishment of such a
court, but merely permits council
TO establish it or not, at its option.
2, That the recorder would have
no greater authority or jurisdiction
than is now possessed by the mayor
ana every justice of peace in the
city; and would have no authority
Whatever save in cases of violation
OF city ordinances.
D. That if it be said that at pre-
sent there is no place for such cases
10 be heard, sufficient reply is
tnat place can be rented for the
occasional use of the MAYOR or
justices of the peace in hearing such
cases. without involving the pay
inent of salaries to a recorder a
clerk and a sergeant,at-arms.
Persons interested in Keeping the
tax rate down should lose no time
IN forcibly instructing city council
not TO indulge in this extravacant
waste of public money for the sake
OF atfordingFa few small Jobs to
