\ be bigger and better than its prede-
eessors in many ways. officers Of the
RoseviIle Improvement Association
I last year set aside the second Thurs
day in May as "Roseville Day"
The day this year will last
seventy-two hours, for the oelebra-
ton will continue tomorrow and Sat
urday. All through the business and
residential sections of Roseville flags
and bunting are displayed in evidence
of the wave of civic pride which
surges through the community. Men
in all walks Of life have co-operated
to make the celebration a success and
to call attention to the numerous ad-
vantages which RoseYille offers as a
place to do business and a place in
which to select a home.
The store and office buildings
owners who drew in their flags and
other decorations yesterday after
noon, to prevent their being spoiled
by the rain, had the trimmings out
early today. Along Orange street,
one of the principal thoroughfares of
the section, hardly a house could be
seen but had some exterior sign that
the occupant wanted to do his share
! OF the celebrating. These mute signs
Of the enthusiasm in the event were
but ripples in the volume of features
which the Roseville Improvement AS
ISOLATION has prepared for the occa-
sion.

The FIRST, big, official gun of the
''Roseville Day celebration will be

past few days Mr.. Lambert suffered
a slight attack of Illness, but it Is
believed he has sufficiently recovered
to occupy the toastmaster's seat.
Governor James f. Fielder, one of
the principal speakers at the banquet
last year. is on tour of the West.
In his stead Acting Governor Wal+er
+. Edge will attend and respond to
the toast, "The State of New Jersey"
State Senator Edge played a con-
spicuous part in putting through
many important measures enacted at
the last Session of the Legislature
and Is considered well qualified to
tell Row the States finances and gem
eral welfare compare with those OF
previous years.
"Our City, Is the toast to which
Mayor Thomas L. Raymond will re-
spond Politics will take a back
lar' Republicans and those who
would rather be classed as independ-
ents and followers of the mayor will
be disappointed If they go to the
banquet expecting to hear Mr.. Ray
mond make some more startling dis
closures as to the working of po-
lifical machine Pro-boss and anti
boss talk will be tabooed and the city,
the Roseville section In particular,
will be given preference over County
Counsel Alfred N. Dalrymple in the
mayors address.
MIR. Ginen win BE There.
Board of Works Commissioner
Charles p. Gillen, noted for his spirit
ed attacks on public officials and
others, who, in his opinion, work
against the public good, will also be
there. He reused the ire of several
Public Service Railway Company Of
ffcials in his last address at Rose
Vile Day" celebration, and is said TO
have prepared several bombs to dro ,
. into the enemy's camp tonight Just

Gillen's oratory has not been dis
closed. The only hint given is that
he will respond to the toast Rose
vile and the Boards of Works." At
past performances, however, Com
missioner Gillen has never allowed the
title OF the toast assigned him to in
terfere with his remarks.
Talk on Educational Expenses.
How the city intends to spend
900 on it's educational system
during the coming year will be ex-
planned in detail by Judge Frederic
L. Johnson, president of the Board
Of Education. Judge Johnson ex-
poets TO show that the board took
full cognizance of the Importance OF

budget was compiled this year He
will speak on "Roseville and the
Public Schools"
Congressman Edward w Gray win
tell why Roseville Should Have a
Postotfice.' The speaker succeeded
former Congressman Eugene e.
Kinkead at the last election, but has
other qualifications which entitle
him to place with the prominent
speakers. AT Republican county
committee meetings Congressman
Gray has been sought out repeatedly
to tell why the party is bound to win
in 1916. His explanations are novel
and entertaining. in addition to being
original. He is expected to repeat
the address on the need OF a Rose
Vile postotfice several times In the
next session Of Congress.
Another important question win be
solved when James Nj. Reilly tells
'Why the Board of Trade Should
Consolidate with the Roseville Inn
provement Association" Mr.. Reilly

trade board for many years, and will
again urge his reasons why greater
results could be obtained by a large,
centralized body of civic workers.
