DON'T GIVE THE PROPERTY AWAY

Because there were no bids for the property at Menlo
Park which the county bought for the purpose of erecting a
tuberculosis sanitarium but which has been condemned by
the State Board of Health, the f%reeholders must not use it
as an excuse to sacrifice this valuable tract. There are
tricks in the real estate game as well as in everything else.
To make it appear that there are no buyers at a figure COLI
sidered reasonable, only for the purpose of unloading the
property privately at a great sacrifice and greatly to the adj
vantage of the purchaser would amount to little less than a
deliberate steal.
That is a valuable piece of property at Menlo Park. In
the minds of a great many it is still an ideal site for the pur-
pose for which it was bought. But because it cannot be
used for that purpose is no reason why it should be given
away to some favored individual because there were no
bidders. Sooner or later the tract can be sold at a reason
able figure, if the county is intent on selling it.
The Evening News still believes, however, that there
are great possibilities for the tract as a part of a county park
system that is going to be developed before many years.
Another census is going to show a population sufficient to
have a park commission appointed here. A Middlesex Park
system would link up with the park system now being de-
veloped in the adjoining county of Union, which, in turn, is
linked up with the wonderful Essex county park system.
The tract at Menlo Park would then become very valuable
for park purposes.
The Board of Freeholders ought not to be in a hurry
about disposing of this land which now belongs to the peo-
pie of Middlesex county.

WATER DRUNKARDS

Why bother making wine III the cellar! Water, drunk TO
excess, is an intoxicant. Wait a minute, before bursting into
laughter. The statement, that water packs a kick, - comes
from DR.. Leonard g. Rowntree. He is one of the specialists in
the clinic conducted by the famous Mayo brothers, at Roch-
ester, MINI.
Here's how Doc proved it:
He fed. TO experimental patients, extracts from a small
duetless gland at the base of the brain. This was to increase
thirst. make the patient drink excessively.
Then "the patient kept drinking water until he developed
marked headache, nausea, a staggering gait, unsteadiness of
muscle, and inability to stand or walk, which lasted for a few
hours
The final stage of the water jag, as described by DIR.
Rowntree. is accompanied by commissions and other symptoms
resembling deGrium tremens.

The ROUSlNG ARME

Recent issues of farm magazines have expressed the
farmers disgust with the rail and coal strikes and with in
dustrial disputes in general. Secretary Wallace elaborated
unon the theme in an address before the local farm bureau
at Leesburg, Virginia.
According to Mr.. Wallace, the farmer "calls upon cap
tai and labor to cease their petty chickering's and resume pro-
duction. trusting to American institutions and American
sens, of fair play to see justice done" He pointed out, and
proved by statistics, that the purchasing power of the farm
er's dollar has decreased since 1913 while wages, especially
in organized industries, are higher than they were before
war whether measured in dollars or purchasing power. The
farmers. too, have sought redress for their troubles by law
FIJI means, and have neither struck nor created disorders.
They have kept on producing and, in spite of discouragingly
low prices, now have record crops ready to move. They
resent the industrial quarrellng which threatens to nullfy
their labors.
The farms who listened to Mr.. Wallace, and farmers
generally agree with him. 1t is a not unpromlslng outlook.
II was the farmers who, in a past intolerable situation, final
" got their dander up and fired the shot heard round the
world. Maybe these quiet men of today will come in from
the fields and apply their saving courage and common sense
to ending the industrial struggle.
Some day we hope to see inscribed on the tombstone
of a statesman, "He Never Passed the Buck"
To supplement- the settlement of the coal strike, it is
boned that the government will exert its influence with the
Weather Bureau to promise a mild winter.
The proposal to prevent coal strikes by government
regulation of the Goa. industry would be more convincing If
it had succeeded with the railroads.

@. Was there ever such a man as
Captain Kidd?-H. D. M.
A. William Kidd, better known as
Captain Kidd, was a real person,
who lived from 1850 to 1901. He
was born in Scotland, went to sea
at an early age, and became a trader
out of New York. He was COM
missioned by William III OF Eng
land as q privateer and he was
given permission to capture pir-
ates. A company which may have
included the King benefited hnanci-
ally by his success. About l696 his
adventures began to take on a pirat-
ical character, he was proclaimed a
pirate, arrested In 1899, and after
an unfair rrial. he was condemned
and executed. Since he held gov
eminent commissions authorizing
him to suppress piracy. 1t is hard 10
determine what part of his opera
tions were legitimate and what part
otherwise. There has been much
rumor concerning treasurer buried
by him prior to his capture, and the
coast of the United States mas many
times been searched. The Quedagn
Merchant, an American vessel which
he captured had q rich cargo n
part of this was recovered from It's
hiding place on GARDENERS Island
off Montauk Point. Long Island.

Ruage compare with others in num-
Der of words?-R. B.

tainly used to a great extent in pie
which Is certainly a dessert. The
Department of Agriculture merely
smiles at this suggestion. Pie.
pickles and preserves are manufac-
tured products, it SEEMS, and 1t
would be impracticable to reclassify
an agricultural product or the ba-
sis of what can be manufactured
from 1t.
Now Comes the Avocado
Perhaps the latest controversy on
this subject occurred over the avo-
cado. Because the avocado is call
ed the alligator pear in this
try there was an argument as to
whether it should come uLder the
paragraph in tariff law providing a
certain rate for pears. 1t was finally
decided hat 1t Is a m!snomer to
call the avocado a pear.
1t was further brought out that
while this tropical fruit may be
eaten as fruit 1t is rarely used as
a dessert. In this country it is al
most invariably served as a salad.
But 1t was assigned to the general
section Of the tariff law fixing the
rate on fruits in the natural state
not otherwise provided for
A tariff act generally mentions
specifically the most common fruits
and vegetables and fixes a rate on
each. The rest are bulked- to-
gether in several paragraphs One
sets the rate on vegetables in their
natural state and not specially pro-
vided for" Another paragraph may
state the rate on vegetables If cut.
sliced, or otherwise reduced in size,
or If parched or roasted, or If pick
led or packed in salt, brine, oil or
prepared or preserved in any other
way and not specially provided for
Where trouble has occurred 1t is
in interpreting the law. One judge
pointed out that the court must try
to determine what congress had in
mind when it said green fruits.
In the future If there are any
controversies they may be expected
to arise over new OIL unusual pro-
duces such as the avocado. The
tomato and its garden associates will
probably stay classified-but only so
far as this country is concerned. If
you go abroad you may find different
ideas regarding vegetables and fruits
prevailing.
At the last Paris exposition straw
berries and pineapples were located
among the vegetables, in accordance
with the practice In France. 1t Is
the custom there to Judge these pro-
ducts with the vegetables, mainly
because they were grown in the
same gardens.

PATENT PAvEMENTs BUTTINo IN

1t was an interesting bit of discussion that took place
at the meeting of the Board of Freeholders Thursday after
noon concerning the paving of the county roads. The fact
that it could even be intimated by one of the freeholders
that the representative of the Warrenite paving people was
being consulted as to whether or not certain paving could
be done in the county has a great deal of significance.
There is a we'll founded impression that the patent paw
ing people have their hand in much of the paving work that
is going on throughout New Jersey and the outbreak at the
freeholders' meeting Thursday only tends to confirm the
general belief.
This paving scandal is never going to be cleaned up
until the patent pavements are driven out of New Jersey
lust as they have been driven out Of many other states. In
fact, New Jersey is one of the last strongholds OF TINS trust
and the trust is not going to lose its hold without a struggle.
AS long as the warrenite people WELD such influence
in New Jersey, however, there should be no S4O,ooo,ooo
bond issue for paving the state highways. The people OF
New Jersey have no money to waste on royalties when 'he
money thus spent to fatten the pockets OF the patent pave
ment trust could be spent in paving more roads.
