It is claimed that th? ant of 1900,

nurses is aimed nlthe Philadelphia
School for Noin'j an.l that the board
refuses to remitter nurses from thai
school no matter what their qualifi

are many grvidnates of that institu
tion who are perfectly competent io

tlisy should not be ddharred. The
poor need such services as well bf
the rich but cannot uffoid to pay thr
same prici. If skilled nurses can b
supplied at a reasonable rate they
should have them.

NOTES
It would be fortunnte If there were

now bef.-rc that body, providing for
a grant f money to be made from
the Fidei xl Treasury to George
Washington University, private In
stitutlon in the District ol Columbia.
"The movement to promote puhlio
education in all grades, from the
kindergarten to the University, has
found one of its most permanent and
serious obstacles, in the desire ol
many people to band over the public j
funds to private and sectarian schools
This tendency should be opposed
In the pnblio Interest at all times and
in all places." In this connection It
rosy be said that there is a reeo
mmemlntion in this state that no
pub ic money be appropriated to In
stitutions not under state control. It
is claimed that many thousands dol
ors are annually riisspent by these
sma Her andlrreeponsi ble corporations
and that the slate would better en
large its hospitals and asylums and
have direct supervision of the money
it appropriates.
Students of the High School wlo
were fortunate ennugn to ooserve
tho ice leaving the Delaware river
!as Saturday, were greatly lin
pressed with the fact that rivers 'are
active erosive agents
They carry away soil, and not on
ly the rivers but small creeks, and
the little streams which work down
hillsides where trees have been Cut
off. Acres of fertile land and the
humus whioh is an essential fert Direr
are swept away. Such loss Is an ob
ject le-son in forestry and is more
eloquent than words in impressing
iha great waste constantly going on
because the soil covering whiob na
lure provided has been removed.
The High School and Primary
racing are greatly brightened by flow

NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON
Senator Career ot Montana has
drafted a bill to authorize the issu
ance to the states of patents for pub
lic lands which are chiefly vabuable
for the development of water p wer.
The measure is an outgrowth of the
discussions at the recent conference
of Governors held lo Washington and
is alaied to meet the demands of
those who Insist that the states and
Dot the general government shall as
sume control of this phase of the con
servation problem.
The Carter bill differs fundament
ally from that drafted by the Secre
tary of the interior, with the approv
al of the President snd introduced by
Senator Nelson. The Nelson bill
provides that the government domain
granting only easements thereon and
in such way as to prevent their union
for purposes of monopoly with other
sites. The right of use is to be limit
ed to torty years, with means for de
termining a graduated rental, and
with provision for fixing the term of
renewal.
It is proposed in the Carter bill
that the Federal government shall
give these lands outright to the Slate
which wonld thereafter handle and
control them for power development.
The bill provides also that the states
snail never alienate the fee simple
title to the land aDd shall reserve th -
right to fix the rental rates based on
capacity for power development.
The state Is also lo regulate the price
tobeoharged for electricity generated
by the water.
It is apparent that a great legal bat
tle will be fought out in Congress be.
fore the question of the right
ot the sates and the federal
government respect Ing water power
control s finally settled. This pro-
lem has given the Nation Waterways
Commission more trouble than all
the other questions that have arisen
be'ore the Commission.. It is entire
ly possible that some of the Sonators
from the great lands states of the far
West will line up with the Southern
Democrats on this question on the
ground that an effort is being made
by the general government to take
away rightt granted the states in tbe
Constitution.
Thenars tew waiters at Rolla,
Missouri, where Representative Mur
phy makes his hou e. Bot in Wash-
where Mr. Murphy takes his meals in
the winter time, tbe waiter is very
much in evidence. Mr. Murphy bos
introduced an antl-tipplng bill, but
his measure la Dot general Jn Its
scope. The Missouri Congressman
wants to try his plan Id the District
of Columbia. It provides that no
waiter shall take tip and that do
proprietor shall allow tips to be accept
od. The penalty provided is fine
ranging from $5 to $50. In view of
the agitation tor a rednction in the
cost of living Mr. Murpby
thinks his measure ought to prove
very popular among those who have
to patronize restrauranti .and hotels.
There are signs of a widespread
vigorous campaign aga'nst the pro
posed legislation to Increase the post
age rates on magazines with a vie w
to wiping op tbe deficit in tbe Post
office Department. Certain maga
zines have already begun to send out
olrculars to their advertisers and sub
scribers denouncing tbe plan.
A Dumber of these circulars have
found their way to members of Con
gress and a greater number of letters
from constituents based on these oir
oulars bavesome to the Committee
on Post offices and Post Roads. Hear
ings on the proposed legislation will
begin on January 26 and it is expect
ed that a number of the leading mag
azines will send representatives to
Washington to enter an emphatic,
protest at that time.
Lincoln's Ancestors
A book recently published traoes
tbe ancestry of President Lincoln
back to their settlement in Massa
chusetts, from whence they migrated
and eventually located in Kentucky
in whiob at&te Lincoln was born.
Governor Pennypaeker in an address
delivered some years ago pointed out
that the general impression that
Lincoln sprang from a family of iu-
ferlor capacity, and that the singular
powers be manifested in his wonder
ful career could not be explained
consistently with tbo principles of
heredity, were erroneous. He said
that in 1710 Mordacai Lincoln, the

No Chance For Boys!
"There is no chance for the Amerl
can boy to day.' This is the com
plaint of scores ot boys. The trou
ble with these boys is that they
have not yet opened their eyes to
the opportunities around them. No
chance In the land where nobody is
held down by caste? No chance in
a land of opportunity where the
greatest resouroes In the world are
a perpetual stimulus to endeavor.
No chance where the deaf, dumb
and blind go to college, and even
the cripples achieve blgh success?
No che.nce In the country where log
cabin boys and poor boys from tbe
farm go to the White House? No
chance in a country with thousands
of libraries, tens of thousands of
schools, (tree night schools, free edu
cational lectures)? No chance where
even poor boys from tbe slums be
come our legislators and where the
poorest become our merchant princes
our great bankers and financiers?
No chance where thousands of poor
boys start in business for them
selves without capital? No chance
where so many business houses and
institutions are built np by men
with do opportunity except their
own energy and integrity? No
chance where brakeman and even
section hands become mi I road presi
dents? No chance where office boys
become proprietors? No chance in a
land which has proved that you can

CONCEALED
Lonely and sad are tr y moments
When I seem most happy and gay,
Thoughts of the past come tack to me
But my dear ones have all gone away.
Why should we grieve before etnngers?
Not of our tronbles they care
Yes, I can laogh and be morry
And silently my deep grkfs bear.
In years I'm not old still I'm aged
Tbe trials of life made me so,
Yet I am trying to bear them
And smother my deep seated woe.
It is like the canker that's eating,
The core of the apple concealed,
So with my pent up emotion
In my heart that is almost congealed.
We most not intrude our dork sorrows,
For sorrow will come, ah, too soon
To all, so we should strive bravely
To forget in their presenoe our own,
But we have heaven's oonsolation,
Disconsolate souls will find peace
Ere long for all things are fleeting
Death sometime will bring na release.

Educating Children
It Is a duty to give all children op
portunity to obtain the best education
possible and in many sections to ob
tain this result, they are being trans
ported from a seotion where schools
are not available, or for other reasons
to some central school. This enables
a community, with tbe Increased
pay, to hire better teachers and fur
nisb improved advantages. The gain
to tbe pnpils Is of great value.
Looking over onr neighbor Dingman
township and in view of the faot
that a number of pupils from there
are now attending our gohools In Mil
ford, some because there are not suf
ficient scholars in a district to war
rant opening a sohool, and In other
casts becacse tho schools are too dis
tant for young pupils to reaob, it
would seem that it would largely
advantage tbe pnpils of part of thai
township and with benefit to the
taxpayers to Incorporate part of the
territory with tbe Independent
School Distriot of Milford. We have
room in our building forn,o e teach
ers and pupils and with tbe increased
taxes and state appropriation we
could pay wages commensurate with
qualifications. It would cost ns lit
tle more to run our schools, aside
from increase in teachers and tbe
pupila ot that township wonld have
better advantages. The average at
tendenoe iq schools over there is not
more than 6 and it seems like a large
expense to open school for so sma I
a nnmber. If this matter was given
consideration by those most interest
ed it might result in an arrangement
which wonld ensue greatly to the
educational advantage of many of
the children in Dingman township.
Pay of Enumerators
There are three general rates the
capita, the mixed, and the pr diem.
The first and second general rates
have five subdivisions each.
The per diem rates range from (3
to 3 50, ft, It .50, f5, 15.60, and 16,
and are to be paid for a day ot eight
hours' work.
For the enumerators on the per
capita basis, which will be that most
w idely used, the pay for each inhab
itant is: Class A, 2 cents; class B.
2J oents; class C, 8 oents; class D, SJ
cents; and class E, 4 cents. Such
enumerators will also ho paid for
each farm, as follows: Class A, 20
cents; class B, 22J cents; class l", 25
cents; class D, 27) cents; and class
E, 30 oents. These rates are in each
case 6 cents or more higher than
those paid in 1900, when the rate was
from 15 to 20 cents. For eich estnb
lishment of pr doetivo industry the
nito for eaeh class is 30 cents. For
each barn and inclosure containing
livestock, not on farms, the pay is
10 cents for each class.
Under the mixed rate, which is a
combination of the per capita and the
per diem, there are five subclauses al
phabetically arranged, and the per
diem is: Class F, 1; G, l."5; 11,
$1.60; I, 1.76; ana J (2 For aeU
inhabitant the pay is: Class F, 2

OBITUARY
Charles Matno
Charles Muyno, wbo is well known
in Milford where he has passed many
summers, died last Tuesday at Lake-
wood, N. J. He has been in declin
ing health for some time and his
many friends here greatly regretted
to know that his recovery was Dot
probable. He was interested as a
citizen of the town and was of sub
stantial benefit to its industry. For
many years ha was in the advertis.
ing business in New York and pros
pered. Ho leaves a widow and sev
eral adult children. The remains
were brought heie and deposited In
the receiving vanlt and ultimately
will be buried on his lot in Milford
Cemetery.
Protecting a Robber Trust
In bis striking article on tariff
matters in Iii'MAN Life for Febru
ary, Alfred Henry Lewis says:
-'When an ' infant Industry" gets so
big and strong tbat It climbs tbe
line lence and wallops the neigh
bors' young ones In those neighbors'
own back yards, it hardly needs
protection.'
"Come back with me to tbat ques
tion of sugar 'protection.' It was
but a lew weeks ago when the
Sugar Trust put out these illuminat
ing figures. Naming that 2 oents a
pound (tariff) grade of sugar, it
quoted it for the borne market at
1.45 oents a pound, and for exporta
tion at 2.60 cents.
'Here is proof enough of tariff per
ddy to hang a man. The Sugar
Trust is given 'protection' to the
tune of 2 oents a pound. This 'pro
lection by anticipation ot those wbo
drew the bill, will result in lers
than $120,000 a year to tbe treasurj.
As against this, what does it mean
to tbe Trust? Now we come to the
Ophir the real gold mine in thi
buslness Tbe American public cou
sumes 6,871,568,000 pounds of sugar
from New Year to New Year. That
2 cents a pound a show less, in fact
puts over 1126,000,000 into the
protected' pockets of the sugar pec-
J pie. Of this huge rapine the Trust
Uikes the lion's share, while a hud-
die of little sugar rascals lake the
Jackal's. And every dollar, every
dime of that 1126,000,000 comes out
;ol the p cketa of the public of yon
I and me of tha people whese mis-
representatives in Congress as.
seuibled bave builded the law. Ev
ery splinter of that l:6,000,000
oonies out of us. Which is why we
go afoot, or cling to straps, while a
Sprecklea or a Haveinyer has his
yacht or private car. Going now to
an averago, each family in the land
is taxed IS a year ln favor of the
Uavemyer and the Spreckles fami
