OUR CONGRATULATIONS.

We extend greetings to the
Newark Eagle which made its ap-
pearance yesterday, continuing the
Newark Star. The typographical
and general appearance of the new
newspaper at onces excites the won
der why, in making such a radical
change, the management did not
complete the transformation and call
it the Times instead of the Eagle.
Now, if the Eagle proves itself to
be as good a newspaper as the New
York Times, which it apparently has
chosen as its model, it ought to sue
ceed We sincerely hope that it
will.
There is a wonderful field in North
Jersey for a real New Jersey news
paper in the morning. The Eagle
has started out we'll. 1t has a
genuine metropolitan appearance
and is just such a newspaper as
should appeal to the great majority
of people. The first issue has set a
high standard and it will mean the
best there is in journalism to main
tain it. Here's hoping that the Eagle
is the success it deserves to be.

Time sure does fly. 1t Is only about
ten years ago since bicycle riders used
to be arrested for seorehing.
And, to reverse the old saying, an
honor is not without profit in It's own
country.
If some reformers would spend as
much time minding their own bust
ness as they do minding other peoples
business this would be a better coun-
try.
They call it incompatibiiity when
they sue for divorce. But the real
meaning of fncompatibility is selfish
ness.
You can't make a young thing be-
lieve it, but 1t doesn't take long to
turn lovesick couple into a sick of
love couple.
Most married women believe that
their husbands spend a lot of their
time trying to fiirt with strange girls.
And most married women are right.
A new wife and a new hat receive
lot of care. But there isn't much at
tcutlth IJdlU LO LuCEu altct thC hcF-
city wears of.
Some women sure do resemble a rag
and a bone and q hank of hair. But
corn fed should be described as rag
and wabble and hank Of hair.
A dainty dash of color improves a
girls looks and there is no harm In
It. But the trouble Is that the drug
stores sell the color by the box, and a
girl imagines she has to use the entire
box at one application.
The day that daughter invites the
young man to dinner at her home to
chow him what swell people her folks
are Is usually the day that father has
battle with mother because she won't
let him eat In his undershirt, and it Is
always the day that father finds the
coffee is SO hot that he has to pour 1t
into his saucer and siop it around to
cool IT.

Governor Whitman has set Cover
nor Fielder an example of the duties
of a state executive when riot and
lawlessness gets beyond the control
of local authorities. When the sheriff
at Massena said troops were needed
he got two companies of militia
forthwith. When the sheriff at Bay
onne said troops were needed he got
only rebuff and an insinuation that
he didn't know what he was talking
about. Only one man was killed at
Massena. Five have died as a result
of the riots at Bayonne.

When You Can't Sleep.

There Is an odd theory, which many
people believe and which Is certainly
harmless, that sleeplessness may often
be cured In the following odd way:
Move your bed out into the room so
that no part of bed or covers will touch
the wall. Then place under each caster
of the bed piece of rubber or a rubber
overshoe or set the caster In a thick
glass dish Then go to bed, making
sure the covers do not touch the wall.
Thus the bed and yourself will be cut
off from all electric contact with floor
or wall. Such absence Of electric con-
tact, it is claimed, will make you sleep
better 1t is said to have cured stub
born cases of insomnia.

The Adventure Of the Powerful Pant

The Adventure Of the Powerful Pants.
A young man by the name of Yer
beck, who rides a motorcycle, was
passing along the road when he met an
automobile driver who was In distress.
The motorcycle man stopped and when
asked to lend hand gave freely of his
time He was unsuccessful, however,
and it was decided to have the motor
cycle tow the auto into Freeport.
More complications presented them
selves, as neither the auto driver nor
the motorcycle rider had rope to, tie
the two machines together. The auto
mobile man solved this problem by
taking off his pantaloons axd using
them for tow rope. The owner of the
auto rode IN the buzz wagon to town,
and on account of the darkness it was
not noticed that he was shy the pair of
pants. The motorcycl towed the
machine to the residence Of the driver
by way of back streets, and here be
unloaded the machine. The pants used
as tow rope were not dismembered
by the peration.-Freeport Bulletin.

THE LESSON OF WARSAW.

THE LrsScoN VF NhfSa@ W.
To read of the stricken people
fleeing from Warsaw, abandoning
homes, stores and shops, dismantling
churches, removing all metals and
materials that might be OF use to
the enemy and destroying the grow
ing crops OF the surrounding coun-
try, gives us some faint idea of what
war means to the civilians. For days
every available vehicle has been busy
carting away the money from the
bank vaults, taking court and muni-
cipal records to a place of safety,
stripping the plumbing shops and
foundries of their copper and other
materials, removing the church bells
and unhinging the great bronze
doors of the cathedrals, that nothing
of value excepting the deserted city
shall fall the prey of the Germans.
Then to picture the people them
selves-those who had been well-to-
do and those who had been poor,
huddled together in all kinds of con-
veyances, many walking, carrying all
the worldly possessions they now
have in a bundle over their shoulder.
They leave home and all that life
has meant to them behind. They go
out they know not whittier, Perhaps
they may later return and take up
life's thread where it has been so
ruthlessIy left off, but war is so I'M
certain. The city may be in ruins
and their homes no more the next
time they see it. All that they have
is gone and the uncertain future
stares them in the face.
This is what the invasion of a city
by foreign foe means. Situated as
we are behind thousands of miles of
ocean we are inclined to think that
such things could never happen in
the United States. 1t sounds almost
ridiculous to talk about the evacua-
ton of New York or Philadelphia
just as Warsaw is being evacuated
today. But stranger things have
happened. 1t is not beyond the
realms of possibility. Should some
complicated question arise between
the United States and a first class
foreign power and neither side be
willing to give in, only strong navy
and an adequate army capable of
properly defending our coast outside
the protection of the big guns that
man our harbor fortifications, could
prevent such scenes as are now going
on in Warsaw and as took place at
Brussels and Antwerp being dupli-
sated right here among us. When
we argue that we cannot afford to
spend the money necessary to main
tain an adequate navy and support
sufficient army, let us ask ourselves
whether we can better afford to sub
NIT to a possible invasion with the
loss Of everything we personally
possess?
We hope America will never ex-
perience such scenes as are now be-
ing enacted in Europe, but the only
safe way is to be prepared, cost what
it will

the Chinese government has participated
In the organization of the Huahein Spin
ming and Weaving company, which is
to have a monopoly of the cotton indus
try in Shantung, Honan and Chill prov
inces of North China, has created much
comment In China, as well as In Japan.
Chow Hsueh-hsi, the minister of finance.
was the original mover in the scheme and
his brother. Chow Hsueh-huan, has been
appointed director general of the new
company other prominent and wealthy
officials and merchants are cooperating
with the government and will raise 80 per
cent OF the proposed capital of SlO,OO0,OOO
Mexican, or about s4OO0,00O gold.
The monopoly granted to the company
in the three provinces named is to con-
tinue for thirty years. Dispatches from
Japan announce that such a monopoly
is regarded by many japanese business
men as an infringement upon the rights
of foreigners to engage in trade and in
dustry in China,
There had been no cotton mill of any
sort in the three northern provinces COW
cred by the monopoly. and an investi-
cation of conditions made by the minis
ter of finance convinced him that cotton
