The law of 1898 provides that the Boards
five members when the register shows
over 500 children enrolled. In order to
do this it is necessary to secure the sigma
lures of at least one-fifth of the voters OF
the township to petition requesting the
trustees to insert in the call for the meet
ing notice that the subject of increasing
the number will be considered.
This petition has been prepared and
has been forwarded to the trustees. 1t
bears the names of our most prominent
citizens and several of the largest taxpay-
ers.
The present board now feels that it
would be better 10 have five trustees.
With a larger building, constantly in
creasing scholarship, necessity for expsnd-
ing more money, and many other details
of more or less importance, they feel a
desire to have more members to share the
responsibilities of the position.
Joseph g. Bower is a candidate for re-
election and will not have any opposition.
If it is decided to increase to five mem
bers, Joseph G. Kingdom, Eckard P. Budd
and James L. Jamison have thus far been
named as candidates for the places created
by the new move The meeting will be
held in the Court House, on Tuesday
evening. March 20.

ed for the consideration of the voters of

that has ever been formed.

Chosen Freebooter. He seeks reelection,
which will undoubtedly be given him
He has made an acceptable officer, look
ing closely after the interests of the tax
payers, and there is more than one In-
stance to be related where he has saved
the county many dollars.
Chauncey F. Woodington, for Assessor,
is perfectly qualified for the office he
seeks. HIS health is In such a condition
that he is unable to do work which con-
fines him indoors, and is ordered by his
physician to take outdoor exercise. II
he is elected, as he should be, he will
give strict attention to the business OF
making correct assessment.
John II. Deacon has made a good Col
lector, and the list of delinquents recent
ly published contained fewer names than
any previous list. Three years ago, when
the party had to search for candidate,
he reluctantly consented TO run. John
should have a handsome majority nexI
! week.
Samuel T. Engle, for Township Com
mittee, is business man who will con
duct township affairs with the same care
} that characterzes his personal transac-
TONS He has had experience, having
, served Lumberton township in a similar
position.

Jndga C3arrison's Address.

Justice Charles G. Garrison, of the Su
preme Court of New Jersey, delivered th
annual address Friday evening before tn
Law Academy of Philadelphia. At tn
conclusion of the address reception wa
given to Justice Garrison at the Hote
Metropole.
William A. Hayes, President of thu
Law Academy, introduced Justice CARR
son, saying that he represented the wit o
the New Jersey Bar and much of its wis
dom.
Justice Garrison's subject was 1.-THE
Fact of Marriage and the Limits OF Di
vorce" His address was a thoughtful,
incisive discussion of the correct view tc
be taken of marriage In its relation to di-
vorce. He began by citing the decision
of the English House of Lords in the in
hertance case brought about by the mar
riage of Ensign James Campbell, who
eloped from Bristol in 1881 with the wife
of one Ludlow, a grocer. In 1888 their
first son was born. he inheriting his
fathers estates in 1912. Ludlow died in
1884, and his wife declared that she was
married to Campbell in 1888.
The decision was that they were mar
RED from the instant of Ludlow's death,
being based upon the principle that mar
riage is not contract but line of col :
duct Upon this Judge Garrison made his
argument in support Of the view taken by
the House of Lords. He described the
current view of marriage as contract and
divorce as legislative question. In this
connection he pointed out the conflicting
marriage and divorce laws of different
States, which tend to scandalize marriage
and cause the real object to be lost sight
of.
Judge Garrison argued that divorce
should be made subject of judicial in
quiry and not of legislative enactment.
He cited and discussed two typical divorce
cases. In one, passed upon in the United
States, where the view of marriage as a
contract was adhered to, he pointed out
the injustice that was done. In the other,
an English case where marriage was
treated as line of conduct, he showed
the business of the decision to all con-
cerned.
