TO the Editor Penn's Groue Record,
DEAR SIR:-Seeing in the last issue
of your paper of an organization called
the Anti Saloon League, l thought as
your columns were free for all, that l
also would suggest a few organizations.
Why not, while about it, form IN Anti
Humbug League, also a league to en-
force the payments of lawful debts. The
latter organization is badly needed, as
some of our merchants and stOrekeeqeTs
have found to their sorrow. In regards
to the stoppage of the sale of liquor as,
l suppose that is the object Of the or
%ganization, let us go back a few years
to the time when Penn's Grove, with
the rest of the Country it was dry. Did
drunkenness decrease? On the contrary
it increased, and the grips and satchels,
that were carried full of liquor from
Philadelphia, Wilmington and other
places were a sight to behold.
If license is taken from the town the
number of messengers will be increased
as the one we now have could not do
the work. 1t has been proven conclusive
ly that prohibition does not prohibit,
for when you try compulsion you will
naturally arous all the a%ntagonism in
a mans nature.
l am willing to admit that rum is
an evil, but until it can be shownto me
where it can be bettered, I shall remain
of the same opinion still. instead of
pursuing a "Will- o. the Wisp',, let
me suggest, call a public meeting and
form a board of trade, and place at its
head your most competent business
men. Solicit subscription, advertise in
different papers the facilities of the
place, and by these e encourage
industries to locate here, there by max
ing work for our town people,
Penn's Grove is admirably fitted
with every thing needful, such as rail
and water ABILITIES to he the busiest
little town on the Delaware River, if
the people would ouIy get together and
use more common sense and less non
sense. lam sorry ifIhave hurt any ones
feelings, but difference of opinions
make arguments. One thing is certain
| sincerely believe, as l write, that the
societies | have mentioned will help the
common welfare more than an Ant
Soloon League. JUNIUs

Two Views of the War.

Here is a view of the war in the Phil
ippines, expressed by that sound and
conservative paper, the Springfield,
Mass, Republican:
Our Washington correspondent fig
urea out the present cost of the war In
the Philippines to be at least $3,oOO,OOO
q month. This is at the rate Of $780,
0O0, 600 a year, or equivalent to the in
terest at a per cent upon 5000 ,0OO,O 900.
The interest upon the total national
debt, including the debt incurred by the
Spanish war, will amount this next
fiscal year to $40,4O0,000 or not much
more than the nation is paying at the
present rate to "maintain order'' in the
Philippines.
And here ID an opinion from another
point of view expressed by that able
Republican paper the Pittsburg Dis
patch:
Senator Hanna declares the Ameri.
can people will stand for that which
will bring them prosperity and happy
homes, and then passes to discussing
imperialism as one of the things they
will approve. If Mr.. Hanna would de-
vote a small share of the attention he
has given to bossing the Ohio conven-
tion TO finding out what the people
think, he might learn that a war OF
conquest in the Philippines has not
made any ''happy homes" in this coun-
try. The imperial policy of the adj
ministration has brought mourning in.
to many households and anxiety into
many more, but happiness and prosper
ity are things not coupled in the popu'
lar mind with carnage and death. Aside
from the spoils.hunters and franchise
jobbers there are hardly any civilians il
this country who are favoring the i'm
perial policy.

There was a lively fight in Gloucester

There was a lively fight in Gloucester
County Court last week over the grant
ing of licenses to Washington Park. A
few years ago when all the Courts and
Judges were Democrats they got all
the blame for granting licenses and
making laws, but things are different
now. Last fall Judge Jessup refused
to renew the license because Billy
Thompson's resort had proved to be
lawless by selling from more than one
bar. Mr.. Thompson goes to the Leg
islature and gets a law passed to per.
nit all the bars he wants to pay license
for. BY a strange coincidents Speak
er of the House and Acting Governor
d. o. Watkins becomes Mr.. Thomp.
sons lawyer in the case. Such cases
with legislators usually merit a good
fat retainer fee. Mr.. Watkins appears
in court to plead Mr.. T%hompson's case
and presents a long list of signers who
want to quencll their thirst when they
visit that resort. d. W. Garrigues, a
leading Prohibitionist appears with a
long list of persons who demonstrate
against the granting of license to a re-
sort where the law had been violated by
the decision Of Judge Jessup himself
but it availed nothing. Last Saturday
Judge Jessup granted the license for
four bars at $3.50 each, $1,000. Mr..
Garrigues at once filed a protest on the
grounds of the unconstitutionality of
the new law, but Judge Jessup refused
to accept and said it is not for any one
to question the fairness of the court.
Things are different now. Billy
Thompson is not running Democratic
court, legislature and acting Governor.

Bad management keeps more people in
poor circumstances than any other one
cause. To be successful one must look
ahead and plain ahead so that when a favor
able opportunity presents itself he is ready
to take advantage oft. A little forethought
will also save much expence and valuable
time. A prudent and careful man will
keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house, the
shittless fellow will wait until necessity
compels it and then ruin his best horse GO
ing for a doctor and have a big doctor bill
to pay, besides; one pays out 25 cents, the
other is out q hundred dollars and then
