WOMEN ENFORCE THE LAWS. The Woman’s Town Improvement association of Montclair is on« of the most active and aggressive of women organisations of municipal honaecleanThe town oouncil of Montclair has for jeara talked by resolution, ordinance and otherwise against the defacing of trees for advertising purposes. The Montclair women took the matter up. and the practice has been abolished. $hoold any careless advertising agent; in dedance of the women's decree, post his “ads. ” on the trees and other undesirable {daces, a letter to the proprietor of the store or the goods advertised convince that person that a serious mistake has been made. A humble apology is, the result, and the offending agent is sent back with orders to remove the advertisements. The women folks are determined to have the overhead check on horses that are driven through the town abolished on the ground that it is cruel to the animals to have their heads pulled so high all the tima The Montclair women have practically carried out far beyond the power and previous ability of police regulations or ordinances the matter of keeping the streets dean. The women stirred np a strong public sentiment, and storekeepers; who are largely responsible for mnoh of the litter on the streets, were shrewd enough to realise that it would not be wise to disregard the mandates of the women. Violations meant a loss of trada This was more potent than any act passed by the town council and ordered obeyed by the police. The women’8 association has lately started a crusade against small boys with sling shots, for even the sparrows are included in the destruction. The Montclair women will protect birds of pvery kind at all hazards, and it is safe to say the W. T. L A. will abate the use of the toy in Montclair: The women’s crusade and boycott in Montclair are due to the fact that many ordinances are dead letters, because there is no public sentiment behind them. The advent of women’s influenoe into municipal matters has aroused a healthy public sentiment This is instilling life into many local laws that have encumbered the ordinanoe book like old lumber in a garret. One of the features that lend snooesB to this work of the women in municipal affairs if that it is devoid of politic* The women find that oertain things need doing, and they set about doing them in the most practical and speedy way. The man with a “poll” is an unknown quantity with them. The women see that a oertain man is a habitual,violator of the regulations affecting the appearanoe, the morals or the health of the town, and they believe such a man is not one with whom they ought to transact business. They inculcate their ideas into their fellow women, and the result is a boycott which they think ia thoroughly legitimate.

THE SHERIFF TAKES A TOWN. It Had bat Om Industry, and When That Failed the Town Collapsed. Two yean ago the Tillage of Halber* ton, N. J., was a lively, bustling town of some 300 or 400 inhabitants, happy, contented and industrious. The hum of industry was heard on every hand, and no one dreamed of the calamity whioh was so soon to overtake the town. Today the settlement is the perfect picture of a deserted village. There are but two families there now left to tell the tale of departed prosperity. The only reason they remain is because they are too poor to move. Balberton was founded four yean ago by a land and improvement company, and 66 neat frame houses, with five acres of land to each, were erected, and i a cloak faotory capable of employing j 160 hands was built and put in opera-1 tion. The township authorities were so favorably impressed with the success of the project that they erected a handsome sohoolhouse costing $2,600. Affairs went along swimmingly; business eras good and the people correspondingly happy. All this changed about 18 months ago. Then trade began to decline, and there was no demand for cloaks. The market was dull and unprofitable, and finally the factory was compelled to close down. The residents were not discouraged and tried farming, but without avail, and a few days ago the sheriff foreclosed a blanket mortgage covering the entire village. While this was a colonisation venture and the entire town was owned by a company, it illustrates the danger of a community relying solely on one industry for its support Every town and village should diversify its industries so far as it lies in its power, so when one fails disaster may pot overtake the entire community. History proves that during stress of hard times and general depression the towns and cities having diversified iaitaatrlw have suffered least |
