The “Hudson Observer” says:
“George M. Lanning, former Post
master and first citizen of Florham
Park, in Morris county, who is ac
cused of many forgeries, was taken
from jail to court in Newark Wednes
day, to testify in bankruptcy proceed
ings, where, under sharp examination,
he told the most remarkable story of
successive thefts that has possibly
ever been heard from a man’s lips.
* * * He testified that thirty
years ago he had discounted a note at
the National Bank at Morristown for
$117. Upon this the endorsements
were forged. This was the beginning
of his career of crime. He did not be
gin to issue fraudulent paper in the
name of the borough until twenty-five
years ago. Since then he had kept at
the practice. One forged note was
issued to take up another, and with
each year he became more deeply in
volved, until the end came in discov
ery three months ago. Where in fic
tion can this story be matched ¥
Think of it! A man engaged for more
than a quarter of a century in system
atic crime involving documents of re
cord, to which he had forged the
names of his neighbors and yet, dur
ing the whole of that long period, his
thefts escaped detection.”
TnE Board of Health of the State of
New Jersey has just issued a compila
tion of the public health' laws of the
State, made in the oilice of the Attor
ney-General by Theodore Backes, a
copy of which should be in the hands
of every member of local boards of
health as well as in all municipal offi
ces. Few officials are aware of the
laws enacted for the promotion and
protection of the health of the people,
and this compilation is so fully in
dexed that it will be found a ready ref
erence when any question affecting
the public health is raised. The power
conferred on local boards of health, as
set forth in the act contained in the
book, if exercised as it should be in
every community, would undoubtedly
improve health conditions and pre
vent nuisances that are stealthily
committed and silently endured be
cause of unwillingness ,pf citizens to
prosecute. It would be a good thing
if a copy of this compilation could be
put In the hands of every good citizen,
so that he may be informed of the pro
tection to which he is entitled.
An Interesting comparison has been
made by a correspondent of the New
York “ Evening Post" on the expenses
between New York and New Jersey
building loan associations, taking the
year 1003 as a basis. His findings are
as follows; Assets of New York asso
ciations that year were $33,342,475;
salaries $181,680, equaling $54 per $10,
000, New Jersey showed assets of
$61,088,102, salaries $205,067, equaling
$33.07 per $10,000; or in other words,
New York associations paid 63 per
cent, more salaries than New Jersey
associations. It is true, of course,
that New Jersey associations are not
obliged to hire expensive offices as is
true in the case of lower Manhattan
and Brooklyn associations. The sec
retarysnipare also much less expensive
in this State. On the whole, it proba
bly would be hard to find building loan
associations run more economically
than those in this State.
-;-- —.
The annual report on the building
and loan associations of the State, just
made to the Governor by Banking and
Insurance Commissioner Watkins,
shows that there are now in New Jer
sey 461 of these organizations, all but
one of which are “ mutual,” in which
all the profits go to the shareholders.
The total assets of the mutual associa
tions aggregate $67,802,407, their total
membership is 143,886, and the num
ber of shares 1,065,866. More than five
and a half million dollars were paid on
matured shares during the year, near
ly $16,000 was on mortgages, and over
$1,200,000 was loaned on shares. The
benefit of these associations to home
getters is incalculable. The man or
woman who is working for wages can
find no more profitable way of invest
ing their savings and no easier way of
buying a home.
Automobilists who are inclined to
tfie reckless driving of their machines
should make a note of the fact that
Judge Foster, of Monmouth county,
has just sent to jail for four months
James Coleman, a chauffeur who ran
his automobile into a carriage at Deal,
last June, injuring two ladies, lie
must also pay the costs. That is the
sort of a sentence that is calculated to
prevent recklessness in automobiling.
Tiikke will be a general agreement
with the State “Gazette” in the lol
loving: *.
‘ There has been such a thing as

A DIGNIFIED GATHERING.
“ During the evening a large beer
keg was carried In, a j'ell was given
and the keg was broken on the hearth
stone and thrown into the tire On the
fireplace. The yell was:
Anti, anti came out here,
Something doing to a keg of beer;
Biff bin, knock it in,
Splutter, splutter, in the gutter,
Anti did it, anti did it, and did it.
Boom!
“ Just as the guests were being seat
ed at the table a jack o' lantern, being
a likeness of Mr. Burke’s profile, was
raised on the outside of one of the
windows.”
No, the above is not account of a
gathering of school boys, but a meet
ing of someof the ministerial members
of the Executive Committee of the
Anti-Saloon League to celebrate the
great victory (V) won at the recent
election. Is it any wonder that sensi
ble people feel that they were bun
coed when they contributed their
money for the promotion of temper
ance to have it expended by men who
consider the above "witty ?
Wjtii Governor Stokes as cftairman,
the State Board of Election Canvass
ers meet in the Senate Chamber Tues
day atternoon to pass officially upon
the vote cast for Governor on Novem
ber 5. The board is composed of Sen
ators Frelinghuysen, Bradley and
Hutchinson, Republicans, and Ilinch
liffe and Price, Democrats, all of whom
were appointed by the Governor.
The board had before it two sets of
figures to consider. This is due to the
fact that in some counties there are
discrepancies between the figures cer
tified to the Secretary of State by the
various district election boards and
those filed with him by the county
election boards.
According to the county board fig
ures Fort carried New Jersey by a
plurality of 8,030, while the figures
from the district boards, as compiled
by the Secretary of State, in readiness
for the State Board, show that New
Jersej went for Fort by 8,016 votes, or
fourteen votes less than the county
vote figures.
Under theblectionlaw district board
figures are to be considered, the coun
ty board returns being taken merely
as a check upon the district returns.
It is expected, therefore, that the
State Board certified to the figures as
filed by the district boards and declar
ed that John Franklin Fort was elect
ed Governor of the State by a plurality
of 8,016 votes.
The new Fish and Game Commis
sion has recommended some changes
in the laws, among them that both
resident and non-resident gunners
shall be licensed, no spring shooting;
no sale of gajne; no iish nets or weirs,
and no pound nets within one mile of
tiie coast. There is no intimation of
what a non-resident gunner who has
paid his license may do witli his game,
and, of course, the old provision that
he must not take it out of the State
remains. Is it not about time the
huntsmen of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey come to an agreement to be
sensible, and have the law against tak
ing the spoils of the hujat out of the
respective States repealed V Dead game
is of no use toward multiplying the
living, nor is there any sport in kill
ing game if the hunter may no.t enjoy
feasting on it, rather than leave it to
rot in the fields. Game wardens could
be more useful if, instead of waiting
on the borders to trap licensed gunners
^carrying away game, they gave their
undivided attention to protecting the
fish and game in the closed seasons.
But the game laws are a riddle that
few can solve, and, whether the new
commission will be any .better than its
predecessor in making them clear, by
amendment or otherwise, remain^ to
be proved.
On Satuiday the chairman of the
Congressional Committees on Rules
and on Ways and Means .made the an
nouncement that there would be no
tariff tinkering at the coming session
of Congress. This will have a'bene
ficial effect on the business world, for
tariff revisioi J ' 1 present condi
tions would cany us o\er the brink as
it did the last time we had a tariff re
vision. If the tariff is to be amended,
and no one familiar with its details
will argue that charges could not be
made which would be beneficial, it
should be amended by men thorough
ly conversant with its operations and
in one detail or schedule at a time,
and in that with long preparatory no
tice. Any proposition to “ revise” the
tariff is dangerous. It strikes at every
industry affected by the tariff, and at
every importing business. It would
amount to a notice to close the factor
ies and to cancel orders for foreign
goods. _
The New Jersey State Board of
Equalization of Taxes on Wednesday'
sent its annual report to Governor
Stokes for transmission by him to the
next Legislature. The report shows
that the total ratables in New Jersey
this year amount to $1,841,527,418, a
gain of 17 per cent over last year, when
the total was $1,570,210,077. The in
crease in Morris county is $5,076,092.
Jn 11 ic recommendations to the legis
lation is a statement that many tax
ing districts that were assessed on a
20, 30 or 5o per cent, basis have come
up practically to true value. It Is
rat her amusing to see and hear it ser
iously discussed that this assessment
at true val ue is a new law or some new
enactment by the Legislature. It
seems almost impossible to convince
tlie public that it is simple an enforce
ment of a long existing law. *
The attention of the editor of “The
Issue” lias been called to the gross mis
statements made in regard to the vote
in Morris county, but he has made no
corrections so far.
THE NEW JERSEY VOTE.
Discussion of the vote cast in New
Jersey at this year’s election has been
revived by the announcement of the
result of the official canvass. The size
of the total vote cast and that of the
plurality secured by the Republican
candidate for Governor are considered
from various points of view, as of some
unique and portentous significance.
Popular esteem of President Roose
velt’s administration, the future pros
pects of tiie Republican party and the
ultimate destiny of the American
Union itself are assumed to be inex
tricably interwoven with the facts
that 1i total of 394,416 votes was cast
and that Mr. Fort had a plurality of
8,030.
For ourselves we cannot preceive
any such epochal signiliance in the fig
ures. It is quite true that the total
vote was not as large as in 1904, at the
next preceding election for Governor.
But 1904 was a Presidential election
year, when the vote in every State
was, as usual, larger than in other
years. The vote of 1907 was by far
the largest ever cast in New Jersey at
a State election outside of a Presiden
tial year, and was considerably larger
than any cast at any Presidential elec
tion before 1900. It is, of course, to be
wished that all qualified voters would
vote at all elections. But they do not,
in New Jersey or elsewhere, and there
seems to be no practical way of mak
ing them do so. Certainly the New
Jersey election this year did not indi
cate any unique or phenomenal degree
of apathy. The increase in the vote
was not as great as in former years.
From 1893 to 1898 it was 23,836, or
7,945 a year. From 1898 to 1901 it was
25,822, or 8,607 a year. From 1901
to 1907 it was 33,149, or only 5,525
a year. But it is not improbable that
the census would show that the popu
lation has not increased as rapidly in
the last six years as in the six preced
ing them.
As for the Republican plurality, it
was of normal size for a non-Presiden
tial year and a year in which no phe
nomenal conditions prevailed to bring
out a full vote. It was much larger
than that in 1898, which was only
5,499, and it was larger than in any of
fourteen of the twenty-one governor
ship elections which preceded it since
the adoption of the present constitu
tion. The seven which exceeded it
were those of 1862, 1874, 1877, 1889,
1895,1901 and 1904, in each of which
abnormal conditions prevailed. Com
pared with the Republican pluralities
of last year, it showed a tine increase,
for those wpre only 3,193 on the Con
gressional and 1,432 on the legislative
ticket. Moreover, the Republican vote
this year was the largest ever cast in
the State excepting in recent Presi
dential years. It is true that the
Democratic vote this year was the
largest ever cast in the State, even in
a Presidential year. Still the Repub
licans won over it by 8,030 for Gover
nor and 15,370 for Assemblymen, and
that without polling their full strength.
That is really about all there seems to
be in the recent vote in New Jersey,
excepting a pretty positive indication
that the State remains, as for many
years past, strongly RepuBTlcan and
that in next year’s election it will be
found steadfast in the Republican
column.—N. Y. Tribune.

WASHINGTON LETTER
[Special Correspondence.]
It costs $533,000 to weigh eight states
of this Union. That is the word of
Postmaster General Meyer, who has
watched the proceeding. The figures,
which have just been brought to him,
are compiled from operations of 105
days, during which postal clerks and
special employees "have been determin
ing the average amount of mail trans
ported daily over railroad lines.
Weighing the Mails.
It will cost about $1,500,000 to weigh
the whole country, and the whole coun
try, according to law, must^be weighed
in quarter sections in the course of ev
ery four years. It costs twice as much
to weigh the big and expansive gran
ger states as it does to weigh some oth
er quarter sections, notably the south,
where the scales will be set up in all
postal cars some time next spring.
“Nothing could be more erroneous,”
said the postmaster general the other
day, “than statements one still hears
occasionally that the mails are heavily
padded at weighing time. Every pos
sible safeguard is taken to prevent it.
There are special employees on every
train where the weighing is in prog
ress, and they have instructions to re
port immediately to the department any
development that seems suspicious.” ]
Safeguarding Uncle Sam.
The Investigations for determining
what the United States ought to pay
the railroads for mail service are prob
ably tile most thorough and compre
hensive ever conducted by the post
office department of any nation. For
six months every ounce of mail orig
inating In every postoffice has been
weighed in the aggregate and by class
es, and the records are now pouring
into the department. That weighing
has been entirely distinct from the
weighing on the railroads in what is
called the third contract section, which
Includes the big states up and down
the Mississippi valley. During thirty
days of October there has been a spe
cial investigation in 811 selected offices
to obtain some statistics on the aver
age haul of mail. In this investiga
tion, in other words, note has been
made of the distance ' v the state of its
destination of every piece of mail.
When the data is all in hand, which
will be betore long, the compensation
for transportation will be taken up for
adjustment.
Potomac Improvements.
A mass of Interesting information in
regard to public works in the District
is contained In the annual report of
General Mackenzie, chief of engineers,
United States army.
General Mackenzie says that the
amount expended on the existing proj
ect for the improvement of the Poto
mac river at Washington to June 30
last was $2,531,704, of which $329,934
has been applied to maintenance since
March 3, 1899.
The Potomac river is navigable to
the foot of Little falls, three and one
half miles above Georgetown, but the
Aqueduct bridge, which crosses the
river at Georgetown, 113 miles above
the mouth of the river, has no draw
and limits the navigation of large
steamers and masted vessels.
The principal articles of commerce
are sand and gravel, coal, lumber, ice,
corc\ wood, stone, oils; oysters, bricks,
coke and general merchandise. The
receipts, and shipments during 1906
amounted to about 907,000 tons and
were estimated to be worth about
$8,609,860. This is the largest tonnage
ever reported.
In the Lower Stream.
The Potomne river below Washing
ton, Geneial Mnekenzle says, Is gen
erally a wide and deep body of water,
having the characteristics of a tidal
estuary rather than of a fluvial stream.
Prior to Improvements twenty-four
foot navigation was obstructed by sev
en shoals, over which the depth ranged
from nineteen and one-half to twenty
three feet at low tide. Several of these
shoals were long and formed serious
obstructions to navigation by deep
drnft vessels.
The amount expended to June 30 was
$184,83G, of which about $31,000 was
applied to maintenance.
As a result of this expenditure chan
nels twenty-four feet deep and at least
200 feet wide have been dredged
through all the shoals.
By Ox Team From Tacoma.
Ezra Meeker of Tacoma, Wash.,
who has- driven an ox team all the way
from that city to Washington, called at
the White House recently. It has
taken him twenty-one months to make
the trip. In 1852 he went from the
Mississippi river to Oregon in a wagon
pulled by.oxen, fighting Indians along
the way. Ills object In seeing the pres
ident is to ask the latter’s aid In mak
ing the old Oregon trail, as It is called,
a national highway.
Alyn Williams, ranked as the great
est of English artists on ivory, has ar

of England to paint. Mr. Williams
painted miniatures of King Edward
and Queen Alexandra, and he wants
the likeness of Mr. Roosevelt on Im
perishable Ivory to hang near the faces
of the rulers of England.
A Hundred Thousand Want Tips.
Washington servants may not be ac
quainted with the term “backsheesh,”
and they may never stoop to use the
term “tip,” but they are star specimens
©f all those ©two institutions Imply.
There are more than a hundred thou
sand negroes In Washington, a large
majority of whom are employed as
household servants and In other menial
capacities.
i Nowhere Is the ruinous practice of
tipping carried to such an extent as
| right here In Washington, and to the
casual visitor of moderate means, of
whom thousands come to Washington
every year. It has become almost un
endurable. CARL SCHOFIELD.
