A CITIZENS MOVEMENT
The Dewey Flag to Be
Non-partisan Celebration.

The committee recently appointed by
Edward Fry, President Of the Minkakwa
Republican Club, to arrange for the eree-
ton of a flagpofe. In honor of Admiral
Dewey. on the Bayview Park site, met
last night at Columbia Hall, Ocean and
Gator avenues. Ex-Alderman Fry was
elected temporary chairman and A.. A.
LANCER secretary.
Mr.. William Rose, President of the
Greenville Republican League Club. moved
that the committee be termed a Citizens
Committee. The suggestion was unani-
mously adopted. Mr.. Rose said that con-
siderlng the fact hat subscriptions were
to be raised among members Of both poll
itical parties, the proper and most sue
cessful course would be to appeal to the
patriotism of both Democrats and Re-
publicans. and to eliminate any hadow
Of politics.
Robert Carey requested that the follow
ing members be appointed:-George Witt.
John Brinkman, A. e. Phelps, Gustave
Lembeck, w. c. Collins, William F. Rit-
Ter and r. c. Stafford.
The following committee was appointed
to arrange for the regular election of Off
GERS at the next meeting.-William Reed,
William Rose, William Charlock and
Robert Carey.
A meeting will be held Saturday even
ing, when a definite line of procedure will
be decided upon The idea of the flag
pole ana flag originated with Major Will
lam Armstrong of the Minkakwa Repub-
lican Club. A committee, including repre-
serztatives from each Republican club in
the ward was appointed. There was a
hitch in the proceedings at the start.
because the members of the Greenville
Republican League Club and the y. 5.
Grant Association felt that the Minkak-
wa Club would get the entire credit for
the success Of the project. This was
overcome, however. by forming a Citi-
zens' Committee and appealing to the pa
triotism of both Democrats and Repub-
leans.
The committee hopes to raise enough
money to purchase a flag pole. two hum
bred feet long, and a flag about twenty
by sixty feet. The original committee
was Edward Fry. Michae Schultz, Jr.:
William Armstrong and A. A. LANCER OF
the Minkakwa Club, William Rose and
Wilbon Charlock Of the G~reenville Re-
publican League Tub and William Reed
n David Jones of the U. S. Grant As

HASBR0UCK PRIVILEGES
How Its Pupils Entrance to
College Is Facilitated
List Of University
Graduates.

The Advisory Board Of Hasbrouck In
stitute have learned that some misunder-
standing prevailed as to the relationship
Of the Institute with the great colleges
and the law and medical professions. Il
had been said that a closer union was
desirable.
Those, however, who are familiar with
the history of Jersey City's Elton know
that Hasbrouck Institute has been close
" identified with the colleges and to such
an extent that it is registered by the
Regents Of the State of New York, and
the Institute diploma thu secures, with
out examination of the student, the Re-
gents Pass of forty-eight counts for
entrance to New York professional
schools. A certificate from Hasbrouck's
also entities the graduate to enter, with
out examination, many of the colleges,
notably: New York University, Cornell
University, Rutgers. Amherst. williams,
Dartmouth, Brown, Lafayette, Wellesley
and Smith. :
The roll Of Hasbroucks contains near
" three hundred students who have en-
tered colleges. Some of the names on
that list have gained great distinction in
the learned professions, thus bearing tes-
timony to the sound training instilled by
the Institute. Below is a list Of those
who have one from the Institute into the
colleges and professions, the list
might beistill further increased if it were
not confined to graduates of the Institute.
as many Hasbrouck students have entered
college and professional schools before
graduation.-

sHow are the mighty fallen"
The great and only Foster M. voorhees,,

twelve months has been pulled down and
traanpled in the dust. h Republicans OF

though I&ceiving some great commission
from lligh Heaven, were hurled to the
common Abacco juice stained sanded
door Of an ordinary hall, and stamped
out Of all countenance by the rough
heeled shoes Of ordinary ward politicians.
And what was the cause of all this?
Has the Chief Executive violated some
principal Of good government? Has he
been in any way recreant to the hign
trust reposed in him by the people of the
state. last fall? Has he violated IN one
of the platitades of his party's platform?

He has simply refused to name for

given by the rufians who gave expires

their ordinary business to prosecute the

When the Governor ignored their cries
