4254 living cases were under pastoral supervision.
In a single year the 2,S52 churches with an average

Sixteen churches in Newark reported on the deaths,
showing that out of so deaths there were Fl from
tuberculosis while there twelve living cases.
These 16 churches represent 1928 communicates.
In New Jersey there % churches reported. Out
of 523 deaths 81 from tuberculosis There we're

These statistics startling. 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that church members live in better conditions

the ravages of the great white plague What then,
must be the mortality from the disease In closely in

Not long ago there sudden awakening to the
necessity for a campaign against the great white

establishment of hospitals and for victims of the

AcHAsTENED CONGRESS.

After an election in which the dominant party
tans serious reverses Congress reassembes for its
short session In chastened spirit This the case
in the middle of the term of President Taft when a
Republican House majority of fortyseven was changed
TO Democratic majority of sixty-six The Democratic
majority of lat in the present House will be whitfield
down TO two small figures in the newly-elected Con-
gress a loss of than three-fourths
In 1911 the Republicans retained control of the
Senate but the defeat the polls in 1910 broke the
control of the reactonary majority, and in the new
Congress began the Progressive movement which
erystallized at the Chicago convention and accom-
plished the Overwhelming defeat of Taft for
election.
The causes for party defeat, well as its effects
are always matter for dispute, but there is no dis
putting the fact of tremendous change in political
sentiment which is a mere popular caprice.
There are always serious underlying reasons party
in power is Judged more by its and shortcomings
than by its good deeds.
1t will be in a chastened spirit that this Congress
will meet next month to begin its short session. The
many members who were defeated for reelection in
their districts will have realized that they had de-
pended upon unsubstantal capital in their campaigns
when they traded upon the prestige Of'he President
and made too light of things that had sunk deep into
the popular mind.

THE ORGANIZATION or THE LEGIsLATURI

The organization of the Legislature prior to a

The chief interest course, lies in the selection of
the presiding officers.
In former years this mere legislative formal

made in advance, in No. 100 of the Trenton
House Things are different 1t has not been
charged in the of Legislature in recent years
that the naming of the presiding officers was not the
free act of the legislative The character of
the legislation of session is evidence of the way the
Legislature organized
1t has been made evident enough, too, that the
grasp which the railroad interests had upon the Legis
lature for many years has been shaken on This is
partly due to the Pennsylvania Railroad, the most
powerful of the roads in this State which withdrew

STATE CENSUS NEXT YEAR.

Next year the State for the half decade
since 1910 will be taken The first State was
in 1855 when the State had only 569,5O0 population
and the last one was in 1906. when the population
was 21441 A. or about 500 per cent. greater.
From 1900 to 1910, the date of the last Federal
census the States population was increased by
653 49S Half of this increase would be 326,749, and
at the same rate of increase the population In 1911
would be 2S63,916. But in the last decade the
number of inhabitants increased at greater rate in
the second half than during the first half.
There is good reason to believe that the increase
since 1910 has been at even greater rate There
evidence it in all the large cities and especially
in Newark and Jersey City 1t is therefore not i'm
probable that the figures next year will show
total population of upwards of three millions in New
Jersey.
In the State of 1885 Hudson County first
took precedence of in population In the last
Federal census she was 24S45 ahead, or 1851 less
than at the end of the previous decade The census
next year will greatly reduce this lead, Essex is
growing faster than Hudson.
But the principal growth of New Jersey is in these
two counties, and by far the greater part of the
growth the State is in the cities. The reports
for many years show this difference between the
urban and rural districts For example Hunterdon
County had only 1869 population in 1910, and
forty-fve years ago its population was 4O,758.

"A broken trail leads down to a
nearer view. 1t Is the time of low
water in the Southland, and the semi
circular falls are broken into 27S
distinct cascades, separated by a
maze of verdure. They make double
leaps to the gorge below, excepting
the largest, which unites Argen-
tine and Brazilian territory, and has
a sheer drop of 213 feet. In width the
distance around the entire circle, from
the beginning of the Brazilian to the
farther edge of the Argentine Falls
is 5000 feet; but measuring around
the broken contour of the cliffs, 1t is
nearly 10000 feet. In rainy season,
when the river is swollen. all the
small islands are submerged, and,
with the exception of a large central
island, the waters form one huge
roaring cataract.
"Niagara's height varies from 15S to
1859 feet. its width in greatest con-

other a fortnight ago, and now-oh

The moon shone down on the SHIN

tunately the roof of the veranda af-
forded a pleasant gloom. They did
not speak. Their hearts were too full
for words, and they mad only just had

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Man Qualifie d for Leadership

Grant as man of almost unique
taciturnity. He was often spoken
of as the silent man On the many
occasions when I had opportunity to
meet and chat with him, he was, |
found, capable of most entertaining
and often instructive conversation.
He was by no means a tacituin
man when he was with a group of
friends who met in q social way
and whose conversation was con-
fined to tho ordinary topics of the
day. But upon other occasions
when the matters under discussion
related to some important subject
especially when he was President
he could be and was in truth the
silent man. He had a wonderful
capacity for faithful, patient listen
ing. He was glad to hear what any
person had to say about a matter
provided, of course, the man was
qualified to speak on the subject. he
would turn from one to another
with perfect Difference, without a
symptom of annoyance, and yet his
face was a mask. No one could
read what was passing in his mind
as he listened to one after another
but at last. after all were through
General Grant would sum up in a
few words and with singular lucidity
of statement the various arguments
and then express his own view. So
far is l know. this was always found
to be the sound view. This Is what
constitutes real leadership among
men. | have often observed it in men
of influence in business and COM
mercial affairs, but General Grant is
the only one in public life with whom
it has been my good fortune in life to
associate who possessed In an I'M
usual degree the qualification for
truly great leadership"

tanned for General Grant that respect
which was accorded to him by al
soldiers. l saw him occasionally In
the latter part of the war, but / did
not have the opportunity to know
him well until after its close, and,
in fact, some time after Appomat-

This remark was made to me by
Norman B. Ream at q time when he
had established a national reputa-
ton as one of the great business
forces of his time. He was speaking
to me of the personal and distin--
gushing characteristics of some OF
the men who were truly great with
whom he had been brought in con-
tact in the course of his long bust
ness life.

Rea1n, that the men who are emil
tied to high consideration as leaders
are for the most part men distin-
guished for sort of taciturnity.
They are men of few words. / don't
mean that they are men who never
talk-some of them were delightful IN
conversation, some of them had the
gift of most entertaining anecdotai
narrative, some of them could talk
like a blue streak, as the saying Is.
This was true of one of these men IN
particular and yet when matters OF
business were under consideration or
when important matters were to be
decided at directors meeting he re-
NAMED silent, having the gift of lis
tening patiently until at last he
would in a single remark. always

manner, sum up the entire situation,
and in a few words give the wisest
counsel.
