attend all calls in a body and man
their machine in business way
and are always the first upon the
scene of operation.
Mrs John Moonan, who purchased
the two houses adjoining the one
which she owns and occupies, is giving
them thorough oyerhauling and
painting. These houses were pretty
well run down, but now Ms they have
fallen in good hands, they will receive
proper attention in the future.
The new porch which adorns Police
man Lyneh's residence on $. Main

the good taste of Mr.. Lynchs archi-
tectural views.

Recently calling upon our friend
William Closson, the gentlemanly
County Clerk of Hunterdon, we were
much pleased by the courtesy shown
MS. We take this, our earliest OPP
portunity, of thanking you Billy"
and wishing you success in all your
undertakings, both political and SO
cial.
Talking to Lambertville man the
other day who has little appetite for
glory and Willingness to support his
own family, he defended himself
against critics, who insist that he is
not brave, as follows: 81 did not en-
list i'll the war, although | was old
enough. The other boys said was n
coward, but | told them that | would
rather be coward while the war
lasted than corpse all the rest of the
time. ="
just contrary to the views taken by
some of our leading citizens less than
a year ago, the Democratic Wage
Worker IL rapidly pushing mp i'll the
front rank of Democratic journalism,
and its influence will be noticeably
felt in the coming Presidential cam
paign. OF course, we don't pretend
to endorse the political views of tho
paper and are only speaking from n
conscientious view of its surroundings.
A thAnpn,sJ tin,na l hnNta
poker faced men who were verbally
directing me towards n glorious re-
ward in heaven, and Mt the same time
their business end was pointing to n
little pocuniary job they were setting
up for mo to get my legs tangled i'll,
for tho purpose of tripping me up
with big fat kibash md causing
few hard dollars to roll out of my
tronser pockets. You can't determine
POINTER where the African in the fonce
corner is located Even man = relig-
ious fingerboard will deceive you, and
the agnostic who claims that there il
nothing on earth for him to do but
deal honestly and fairly between man
md man lsince this is the only life he
is sure of enioyingl, will point his
glyptic mug towards set of diamond
cut morals, while the stub tail end of
his character will be twitching and
coaxing you to drop your nickel into
n slot from which you will never real

Sometime ago one Jasper Jamerson,
of Kalamazoo, Mich, began sending
me his little paper called the wonder
full Faith Cure" a brand new scheme
for mental healing. His plan is n
spront growing ont of the old stub of
Christian Science, but independent
of that old formula. Mr.. Jamerson
claims to be the wonderful 81 Am,
having telephone connections with the
! Am in tho distant that works the
cure. He charges dollar to work his
Am for the benefit Of any suffering
idiot, and they tell me he is reaping
in barrel Of hard dollars per day,
and simply coming money with his
newborn fake. | was thinking very
seriously myself of sending in dol
lar and receive tho benefit of Il brand
new fake, because ! have realized the
fact that human nature must be faxed
at regular intervals in order to keep
the alimentary canal open and prevent
the feet from sweating; also to pre-
vent the little molecules of truth from
clogging up the rat-holes in ones
mental feed box, thus making the
think pot capable Of holding the mo-
lasses of common sense without leak
ing at the bung. ! finally dropped the
subject because ] could get faxed
right Mt home for Is cents, and pay
huff of it in garden truck, and / be-
lieye i'll patronizing home industry to
n certain extent and help build up
fraud in paying quantities right at
my own door.

Now while we know that there are
some people who are bad by habits
and practice, who rob and steal, plum
der homes and ruin families and make
light of virtue and corrupt courts of
justice and Legislative bodies what
difference does it make whether they
inherited sin from Adam or allowed
it to grow on them through habit and
daily practice. in addition to circum-
stances over which they never had
any control. 1t doesn't make n par
ticle Of difference how the pig got into
the cornfield, he should be chased out
first and the hole located and plugged
up afterwards. And the sinner who
is doing wrong as profession and
earning his bread through this pro
