AssEMBLYMAN Griffin's bill to make
small Board of Freeholders mandatory
has passed the house and will now go to
the senate. A referendum clause was
attached affecting certain counties, Bur
lingtOn being among the number. Ar
gument has been advanced that because
the voters did not sanction the small
Board proposition last year at the special
election it showed that the people were
not in favor of it. We are not ready to
admit such statement as fact. The
holding of a special election in August
was mistake. If the question had
been voted on at the regular election in
November we believe the result would
have been different. for we believe the
majority of the people in Burlington
county are in favor of the small Board.
The latter body, while in power, possibly
did not work with that harmony that
was desirable but it did good work
and certainly conducted the business of
the county equally as well as it had been
looked after by the larger body. We
have returned to the old system and
there are statements that the work of
the county is to be carried on more
economically, with better judgment, and
all that sort of thing, but the new board
has not yet got down to strict business.
1t will be easier to comment intelligent
ly upon the way in which they conduct
things after they have finished the year. S
work. The small board came into power
with large amount of Indebtedness left
by their predecessors, and it is but fair
to say. that they left some unpaid bills,
but not as much in proportion as fell to
their lot. While Burlington county de-
cided that it would return to the old
system of government, twelve of the
twenty-one counties were in favor of the
small Board. The system is correct be-
yond a doubt. Opposition to it comes
mainly from politicians who fear to lose
either their positions or their power

METROPOLITAN OPERA HOT,

METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE
1t is seldom that play takes such
grip on Philadelphia as has been the
case with THE Whip" the big Drury
Lane melodrama, which is rounding out
the first months run of its engage
ment. That the public likes the old
fashioned kind of melodrama with it's
hero and heroine, it's villain and it's
villainess, its race horses and its dogs,
its tears and its thrills, is answered by
the crowds that nightly pack the big
playhouse to witness this modern exam
pie of true blue thriller. Never on a
stage in any city has such realism been
witnessed as is the case in the various
scenes in 1.-THE Whip" The horror of
the automobile accident is felt by
all who see it; the fatal railroad wreck
with its realistic attending incidents,
the exciting horse race with 1.-THE Whip"
finally dashing first under the wire are
all rampant realism that sets the blood
tingling in ones veins. From present
indications 1.-THE Whip" will be fixture
for some weeks.
CHESTNUT STREET OPERA HOUSE
The first production of George NJ.
Cohan's play, Broadway Jones'" in
stock, will be made this week by the
Orpheum Players at the Chestnut Street
Opera House. The play ran a year at
the George M. Conan Theatre, New
York, and was one of the successes of
Philadelphia when it was seen there last
Thanksgiving time. Broadway" Jones,
as he is called by his cronies, lisa spender
celebrated along the great white way"
When the play opens he is discovered
slightly tipsy, entirely 'broke" and
under engagement to marry wealthy
widow old enough to be his grandmother.
While Bob Wallace is trying to get Jones
out of this mess he receives word that q
millionaire uncle has died leaving him
his entire fortune and almost simultan-
eously an agent of the Chewing Gum
Trust appears offering Jones fabulous
sum for the factory which was the uncle's
chief asset. Broadway is all prepared to
sell, but Wallace manages to get the lad
down to Jonesville, the site of the factory
and sudden sentimental interest in
his chief accountant, Josie Richards,
decides him that it is his duty to con-
tinue the factory and fight the Trust.
This he does, with many surprising
developments and final double victory
which includes Miss Richards with a
ring on her third finger All the new
old Orpheum favorites will be seen with
Thurston Hall. The play will also serve
| to reintroduce Florence Roberts, Edward
Horton and George Parker.

BordentoWn.

The Bordentown commissioners have
taken one name from the ''iag" list and
added three Others to it.
Robert Jones Davis, son of the late
Colonel Levi Davis, and father of How
ard Davis, the proprietor of the Borden
town House, who was stricken with
paralysis at his home on Farnsworth
avenue, died on Friday, aged 60 years.
He leaves widow and two sons.
On account of the prevalence of scar
let fever here, Miss Caroline Logan, of
the High school faculty, has gone to her
home at York, Pa, while Miss Marie
Ziegler, of the kindergarten school, in
the First Methodist church building, has
gone to her home at Doylestown, Pa, to
remain until school reopens. The Sun
day schools have also been closed.
The recent school trustee election was
void, according to an opinion rendered
by City Solicitor Wells on Thursday.
Under the law, it is held the appoint
ments should be made by the mayor.
The Mayor therefore Immediately
selected Frank 4. Buchanan and j. B.
| Reynolds for one year for the places.
There is much adverse comment here
over what is generally regarded as a
backward move in excise matters taken
by the City Commissioners on Thursday
afternoon, when they repealed an ordin-
ance of the old excise board designating
excise applications as for new places in
cases where the bars had been closed for
period of three months. Under the
action of the Commission, places which
have for any reason lost their licenses
in the past may still come up for con-
sideration as renewals"
James buddy, who has been resident
of Bordentown fifteen years, has, by the
I death of an uncle in Philadelphia, been

Mr.. buddy says he considers placing his
name on the list an injustice, as it takes
from him privileges as citizen. He

Press Comments.

The anglers OF Burlington county re-
fiecting the sentiment of hundreds of
others in South Jersey, fairly prove a
discrimination, even if it is not intend
ed as such, in the bill which authorizes
license fee of 81 year for the privilege
of hook-and-line fishing. They hold the
fee may be exacted in justice where the
Fish and Game Commission, at state ex-
pense, has restocked the streams of
North Jersey, but that the Delaware and
its tributaries, now practically barren of
game fish, should be made exempt or
open to anglers until they are stocked as
literally as are the lakes and streams of
the hill countries north of Union. In
justice to the unfavored anglers the ele-
ment of discrimination should be re-
moved from the bill in question-Pu6tic
Ledger.
The determination of Mr.. BRYAN was
fixed when he agreed to rehabilitate the
Department of State. His mind was
made up that there should be one de-
partment that would be run on less than
it was before" While little people
thought that Mr. Bryan was devoting
his time and intellect in devising ways
and means to eXtricate the nation from
the mazeof international difficulties into
which it had been led, the great Com
moner, in fact, was assiduously attend
ing to more important affairs; for there
must be economy before there can be
diplomacy. His success is now revealed,
modestly, to be sure, but surely to be
modest is great public virtue. The
annual expense of the department is re
duced from 1854, $50 to 1851, 900. Mr..
Bryan's diplomacy, tested by direct
Withdrawals from the treasury, cost Sl20
the year less than Mr.. Knox diplomacy.
That sum may not measure correctly
the difference in worth between the two.
but it emphasizes the breadth of Mr.
Bryan's perspective and his conviction
that if the little things are taken care of,
the big things will take care of them
selves.-Pubtic Ledger.
The Assembly has passed a bill intro
duced by Mr.. Fisk, providing for an APP
preparation of $4,000 for a site and the
erection of an armory in Jersey City,
which furnishes text for little story
to show where large part of the states
money has gone, and how it comes |
about that with princely income the |
treasury is threatened with a deficit es-
timated at about $2.500,000. First let it |
be explained that the state has already |
built an armory for the Fourth Regiment |
in Jersey City, at cost of more than
5000, 900. 1t was the first one erected. 1t
is proposed to give this over to the use of
the signal corps and spend quarter of
a million dollars more for an arInory and
club house for the infantry regiment
the drill room for the privates, the club
house features for the commissioned
officers. An investigation of the statutes
and the records shows that no less than
nineteen armories have already been

1T is reported that the Legislature ex-
poets to close its business on Thursday.
The bank tax bill, which was the sub
ject of much contention and was finally
passed after compromise had been
effected, is said to have been the re-
suit of conference between Jim
Fielder and Jim" Nugent, notwith-
standing it was supposed that the two
men were bitterly opposed to each other
on this point. This was peculiar to say
the least. But another queer affair has
occurred. Fielder was suddenly awaken
ed to the fact that the platform on which
he was elected contained many pledges
that have not yet been kept He has
urged the members of the Legislature to
give them especial attention, yet it is
worthy of notice that he has left such
suggestions until the last DAYS of the
session when they ought to have been
given consideration among the very first
things to be taken up. There are seven
of these pledges and to bring them for
ward at this late date when they would
be hastily disposed of if they were given
any notice at all is out of all reason.
The platform of the Democratic party
was all right to get in on, but there does
not appear to be the interest in having
the pledges kept now as there was in the
stamping tour when all sorts of promises
were made and which up to this time
have not been kept.

In very lengthy communication at
the meeting of the Board of Freeholders,
Mr.. Hill, of the finance committee, re-
ierred to many matters of interest to the
taxpayers and suggested where improve
ment might be beneficially effected He
paid special attention TO the subject oil
supplies to the various county offices
and told of bills for printing which are
put under the general head of printing, .
while he contended that they should be
charged against the offices to which they
were supplied. In this Mr. Hill was per.
fectly correct. Recent reports show tina,
some of the offices return net amount
OF profit under the salary system, but il
all the expenses of supplies, including
printing of blanks, envelopes, etc., were
charged to the Offices there would be 9
different showing. 1t is perfectly fail
that each Office should be made to beal
its own expenses and until some such
system is carried out it will be impossi
BILE to ascertain what the result of profit
and loss is. 1t is said that one of the
officers does not take kindly to this
proposition and has made assertions Of
what he will do if Mr.. Hills ideas are
carried out. But it is possible the Board
OF Freeholders may show themselves
somewhat larger than an individual
Office holder.
