Over $1,000 college and schoolboy
marksmen Is the record for the school
year ending June 30, 1914. Through
the combined efforts of the National
Rifle Association of America and the
National Board for the Promotion of
Rifle Practice, rapid strides are being
made looking to tho introduction of
rife shooting as one of the recognized
sports in the schools and colleges
throughout the country and the move
ment has been still further stimu-
lated by recent act of Congress au-
thorizing the free issue of rifles and
ammunition to such clubs and to cadet
corps.
This work was begun several years
ago by the National Rifle Associa-
tion, backed by the War Depart
ment, with a result that at the pres
ent time there are forty-two col
leges and universities and eighty
eight private and public preparatory
schools having rifle clubs. National
championships are now being carried
on in both classes of institutions.
Among the colleges there are COM
petitions, both indoor and outdoor,
representing the intercollegiate cham
pionship and among the schools. the
government has presented trophies
representing the public high school
shooting championship and the mill
tary school championship OF the
country. The indoor competitions for
both colleges and schools are now
being organized for the indoor sea-

Az OUTRAGE oF PETTY "JusrIcE.e

Among the many outrages on humanity which for
generations have been perpetrated by the miserable
iacks-n-ofce whom, by the peculiar circumstances
of election to office the hidebound provisions of
the Constitution of New Jersey is entrusted the malad
mnistration of law none has excited Indignation
than the act of Somerset County justice of the peace
sending boy to jail for 120 days in default of
fine because he had shot out OF rabbit which
had deyourng the produce in the little family
truck garden.
This lad and his brother the sole support of
widowed mother but Squire Shape took account
of this or of ordinary common and humanity
in setting the life of vermin animal against the
liberty of human being and breadwinner for four
months. Appeals to any such sentiment mercy or

in vain. So far he concerned he said, the

Fortunately there way open to freedom for

the rescue by providing bond to appeal the case to
the county court. This case gives hint to the ncom

of aboshng the monstrousy abused office of justice

powers. The civil jurisdiction of the justices was
taken away by statute years because it had
been grossly abused Why not deprive them also OF
their criminal jurisdiction and let Dogberry enjoy the
empty honor of holding impotent function If he

SELFISH INFLUENCES IN A CITY.

Years ago property owners in the Hill section OF
Newark whose properties would be benefited by the
extension the Central Railroad to Irvingon strongly
advocated giving permission to the railroad company
to bridge Broad street They did not care that an un-
slightly railroad bridge would ruin one of the finest
avenues American cities orthat Broad street prop
erty would be greatly damaged in values.
This kind of ignobe sentiment is too evident in all
municipal affairs and not nfrequent1y 1t does great
public harm. As in the of the Central Railroad,
it would aid corporation to get privileges that may be
destructive of cys welfare. This same local selfish
ness would stand in the of vital public improve
ments.
Much of the opposition TO opening new thorough
fare to parallel Market street due to the fear of
Market property that this new outlet for
population would affect their private interests Un-
fortunately the opposition did prevail to prevent the
city authorities from making thoroughfare of Me-
chanc street Broad street to the east end with
all of its great development in the near future This
sordid sentiment appears in all guises and usually 1t
uses the cloak of the civic virtues.

AN APPEAL TO NEW JERSEY PRIDE.

AT the great exposition which will celebrate the
eonsummation of the republics magnificent achieve
ment in linking the waters of the Atlantic and the
Pacific for the uses of peace and will display
the world the of American spirit and en-
terprise what better exhibit could New Jersey make
than one of its young manhood available for the
defense of the nation? The State Military Board
wants a provisional regiment of the New Jersey Ma
tonal Guard represent the State at the Panama
Pacific Exposition next year. Other States will do
this, and for New Jersey to be missing in the military
display would be modification to the thousands of
Jerseymen who will visit the fair.
Our National Guard compares favorably in disc
pline and equipment with the best of the militia
organizations and the laurels which its provisional
regiment won at Yorktown yet forgotten. The
opportunity of being sent such journey, seeing the
breadth of the land and the industry and art of the
world as they will be exemplifed at San Francisco
would be splendid recruiting agency for our citizen
soldiery. 1t would stimulate enstments as nothing
else could do.

The lives OF many OF the greatest
opera singers are lives of adventure
and romance, but that of Catherine
Gabrielli reads like fairy story. The
start off of the story might have
Been taken from any fairy story
book.
Once upon a time there was a
prince named Gabrielli, who had a
cook who had little daughter
named Catherine. This little girl had
a. marvelous voice and she loved
music more than anything else in
the world. The father knew that a
fortune lay in the wonderful voice,
but he was a poor man and he could
not possibly save enough money TO
pay to have the voice trained
The cook was very fond of his little
daughter. and on his evenings off he
used to take her with him to sit in
the cheapest seats of the opera house
and listen to the music she loved SO
well. Then when she was helping her
father in the princes kitchen she
wonld sing the music she had heard
from memory. Once when she was
fourteen she was working at her
fathers side and singing one of the
most difficult arias fsom Galuppi.
The Prince Gabrielli, who knew good
music when he heard it, happily
chanced to be walking in his garden.

ly?" he asked one Of the servants who

MOUNTAIN OBSERVATION FIRE PERIL.

Eternal vigilance will be the price of protection
against fire invading the South Mountain Reservation.
This particular section of the Orange Mountains has
been the of destructive forest fires in the past
and as means other than those employed in combat
ing other forms of fire to check and pre-
vent their spread, such must be employed and
without looking too closely at the expense of manual
help.
Day and night patrols essential, as border fires
are menacing the reservation, and forest fires have
insidious way of making progress underground.
Beneath the surface of forest lands there is a
stratum of dry substance composed of dead leaves,
other vegetable matter and decayed wood protected
from rainfalls and dampness by surface coating
formed by other leaves that is practically waterproof
Fire will work its way along the dry and in
aammabe stratum for great distances, to break
out In unexpected places
Trenching the outskirts of the property to be safe
guarded to depth below the combustible vein, has
been found to be an effective method of protection
The loss of live stock life such as deer and other
game in the event of sweeping fire in this reserva-
on can only imagined. The work and care of years
would go for naught.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
An Excess of Judicial Dignity

The excessive dignity and scrupu-
lous inslstence that all the proprieties
Of the court of justice should be
maintained whenever he was sitting
as judge were recognized by the
Massachusetts bar as a distinguish
ing characteristic of Horace Gray
when he was serving as chief Justice
of the highest court of the old Bay
State. From that court Judge Gray
went to the bench of the Supreme
Court at Washington in the admin
stration of President Arthur.
Judge Gray's physical stature fully
matched his legal ability and his
widely recognized judicial capacity.
He stood head and shoulders above
any lawyer of his day He was
known to be the tallest man in Bos-
ton, and in all Massachusetts, there
was believed to be only one other of
equally great stature. Lawyers sone-
times said of him that it was easy
for a man of his imposing physical
appearance to maintain dignity and
to exact perfect recognition OF that
dignity upon all occasions.
Some time after Judge Gray became
member of the Supreme Court at
Washington, I was told several inter-
esting anecdotes associated with him
while he was upon the bench OF the
highest Massachusetts court.

certain that it related to some i'm

door ranges with .22- calibre rifles.
AS an evidence Of the fact that tho
athletic authorities of great many
colleges and universities, as well as
schools, are recognizing marksman-
ship as a part of their athletic cur
riculum, many of them are giving the
college or school letter to those stu
dents who make the rifle teams.
A feature Of this work which is
worthy of mention is the fact that
there have been no serious accidents
of any kind on rifle ranges since the
work was introduced, a claim that
could hardly hold good in connection
with other prominent school sports,
such as football and baseball. To
overcome the erroneous impression in
the minds of members Of school
boards that rifle shooting is danger
Gus, the War Department has offered
to several cities sub-target gun ma
chimes for installation in their high
schools. This is an apparatus which
teaches rifle shooting without the ueb
OF powder and ball and is i11echasli

'If that is the case he will soon dis

excited interest, he had her sing all
the airs she knew. He at once recog-
nized q voice of rare possibilities, and

Unfortunately, Catherine did not
spend her life as creditably as she
might have, for in her personal re-

most capricious women of her time.
And she is remembered IN Russia as
the companion for several years OF the
unprincipled Empress Catherine II.

AN ILLOGICAL AND UNJUST SUGGESTION.

The idea, suggestion that Germany would even
make an attempt to prevent the sending of foodsus
into Belgium relieve the situation there and check
starvation was not only -conceyed and unjust
hecton upon the humanitarian disposition of the Ger
mans, but Illogical In every way.
1t is a duty OF Germany to feed and for the
Delgans, they being in effect prisoners of war, even
at the sacrifice of the welfare of its subjects Ger
many procure and supply food for the people de-
tanned in Belgium and this is hard and trying task
Why, then, should Germany object to other nations
lending assistance the Begians when the act of
others Is helpful to Germany?
Germany only will not object TO such an
arrangement but will welcome it. 1t tends to relieve
Germany in part of burden it Is now bearing.
This is the logical view to take and for tile Ger
mans being lacking in feelings of humanity every act
of war has proved fasity of the slightest
gestion of such thing Germany has earned eommen-
dation for kindly acts.

"Ducked" the Game Warden

There are tricks in all trades"
but the one that foreigner put
over on a game warden yesterday,
as the story is told by local sports
man, has an added flavor owing to
it's cleverness. AS is we'll known,
many foreigners are partlcu arly
fond of robins for a meal, and, in
most cases, where they are arrested
by game wardens 1t is for shooting
these birds, which is illegal The for
eigner about whom the local sports
man speaks had been duck hunting
with success on the Great Piece
meadows, near Two Bridges, and was
on his way home when he spied a
flock of robins In a nearby woods.
He shot number of them and, to
avoid being penalized by having
them found on his person, cut open
three of the ducks and stuffed the
small birds inside. He then tied up
the breasts of the fowl, and, so clev-
erly was the work done, he escaped
the vlgiiant eye of the game warden,
who met him shortly afterward and
who searched him and found nothing
but the ducks.

Superstition Gone Wrong

Superstitious persons among the
political foreoasters received a set
back this year, in the opinion OF
James L. Hays. former postmaster
of Newark. Mr.. Hays was ap-
preached before the election by a
number of dopesters who said the
signs pointed to a Democratic VIC
tory in the county.
One of the most important signs
mentioned was the fact that the big
Republican banner at Broad and
Market streets was taken down
during the campaign. This was
done by the Republicans to replace
the name of Frederick r. Lehlbach
for that of w. l, Lincoln Adams,
as candidate for Congress. Mr.
Lehlbach was found to have been
nominated after q recount of the
primary vote in the Ninth. District.
'I'h bet fifty people told me the
Republicans couldn't win after that
banner was taken down" said Mr..
Hays "They said it was one of the
surest signs possible and they had
never known it to fail. I'm glad l
didn't make any bets on the
strength of their huneh."

From the Wau street Journai.
There is something far more i'm
portant than the mere subscription
OF $3.50, ,000, 900 involved In the so-called
cotton pool. Raiding Congress for
the cure of sectional misfortunes is
bad enough. But far more funda-
mental is the debilitating tendency Of
all such extraordinary measures in
undermining the capacity to shoulder
our own burdens. Why this persist
ent appealing to the political powers?
The east with which people resort to
such expedients indicates one OF two
things. an undeveloped capacity TO
see the political mischief Of 1t, or
failure to forsee its bad effects on
themselves.
That Bishop Warren A. Gambler.

his brain is worried and tagged

Often our longing for recreation
for association with nature, is as in-

the fact is that recreation does not

means chiefly change.

up completely to their play and enter

enthusiasm and zest they would gpi

Play is natures compensation for

People who alternate work with
needed recreation, who frequently get
close to nature. preserve the rhythm
of life, are sounder, saner, have more
common sense than those who never
drop their work and never go back
to nature for inspiration and healing,
