MIND AND MUSCLE

oh, forty learned professors toiled
on, the long years through; they
were not cheap-john guessers-they
knew the things they knew: the
midnight oil was burning that they
might gather learning; all dissipa-
tions spurning, they delved where
knowledge grew. They toiled while
vain carousers assailed the winners
watts. and they wore baggy trousers
and prehistoric hats: for men of
learning never get much for their
endeavor: the coins for fellows
clever at punching others Stats. The
fighter meets a fighter. exchanging
foolish swats; and then the winning
blighter with Colonel Croesus trots;
who would not be bruiser, when
cen the battered loser becomes a
wealthy snoozer. and buys some city
lots? A Dempsey calmly seizes two
hundred thousand bones for whip
ping sundry cheeses or inefficient
drones: but oh, the men of learning!
They always are returning to pawn
shops with a yearning to get some
transient loans. They soak their
books of knowledge, they soak their
cows and cats; their sons must go
to college, their wives must have
new hats; their income is so slender
each wears but one suspender; pugs
get the legal tender for smuggling
domes and Stats.

Mr.. Lewis has set the literary crit
les TO discussing his book Main
Street" Those of us who were born,
as was. on Main street in an Ameri-
can town. know that life there is not
quite SO sordid and uninviting as he
describes it, but there is no denying
the Photographic accuracy of many
of his descriptions. He says:
'Nine-tenths of the American
towns are so much alike that it Is
the completest boredom to wander
from one to another. Theresis the
same lumber yard, the same railroad
station, the same garage. the same
creamery. the same box like houses
and two-story shops Such a>so-
ciety functions admirably in the
large production of cheap automo-
biles, dollar watches. and safety
razors. But it is not satisfied till the
entire world also admits that the end
and joyous purpose of living Is to
ride in fiivvers, to make advertising
pictures of dollar watches, and in
the twilight to sit talking not of love
and courage. but of the convenience
of safety razors The more in
telligent young people and the for
tunate widows fee to the cities with
agility, and, spite of the fictional ira
dition, resolutely stay there, seldom
returning even for the holidays. The
most protesting patriots of the towns
leave them. If they can afford IT..
and in old age go to live in California
or in the cities. The reason is not
a whiskered rusticity. 1t is nothing

THOSE WASHINGTON JUNKETs.

Should the war department actually remove
all the explosives now stored in Middesex
county the Board of Freeholders would have to
find a new excuse for their occasional junket
to Washington at the expense of the taxpayers
As matter of fact, it is doubtful II the ex-
plosives are ever all removed from the Raritan
arsenal. This place has been built permanently
by the government: it is an ideal location and
is bound to grow in importance. Conditions
there are near ideal it is possible to make
them and it is extremely doubtful II anything
serious could take place.
At Morgan, however. the situation is entirely
different This place is not and was never in
tended to be permanent The buildings are of
limsy construction and such safeguards as are
to be found at Raritan are impossible at Nor
gan. 1t is desirable therefore, that the explo-
sives stored at Morgan be removed as quickly
possible.
Senator Frelinghuysen has shown a willing
ness to cooperate in this matter in every way
possible and there is every reason to believe
that he would do Just much toward has
tening matters by having his attention called
to the situation by letter as for the freehold
ers, accompanied by the county collector and
county solicitor, to make periodical pilgrim
ages to Washington at so much per. Middle
sex wants to be safe place to live in, but
