The Children's Day exercises OF the
NJ. f. Church took place on last Sunday
evening, when a crowded house both OF
the Church and Sunday-school room
listened to a well-arranged program.
Never before has the Church looked 50
nice as on that occasion. Great credit
should be attributed to Geo. Boone, who
decorated it for them. 1t represented
the ''heavenly gates" which stretched
across the entire pulpit. AT the back Of
the pulpit were banked palms and ferns,
then the wall from the end of the pulpit
to the organ was also one mass OF pot
flowers. The effect was most beautiful.
and deserves great praise. The program
consisted of songs, recitations and exer-
cises by the scholars, appropriate at this
time. b.

Henry Clew asserts that Daniel Drew
invented the significant term "watering
stock" Before coming to the Street to
make and lose thirteen million dollars,
Uncle Daniel had been a drover, and fed
his cattle an unusual amount OF salt in
order to create in them an abnormal
thirst that would cause them to drink
great quantities OF water, thus making
them appear bigger and fatter when tax
en- to market. After watering stock in
this way, it was natural that he should
make use of a trick or two OF his own in
disposing of stock of a different kind in
Wall Street.

The Peoples Pirates

The ripper law passed by the Quay
Legislature OF Pennsylvania and the
wholesale free granting of street franchis-
es by the Mayor and Council of Philadel-
phia for the building of street railways is
one of the disgraces OF modern govern
ment.
Albert johnson offered Philadelphia
citizens 3 scent car fare and free exchanges,
while John Wanamaker offered the city
two and a half million dollars for what
was given free. Mayor A%shbridge's re-
fusal to receive Mr.. Wanamaker's offer
before signing the granting OF franchises,
shows him to be among the pirates OF the
public, instead OF a guardian OF the peo-
pies interest.
What is the remedy for this latter day
robbing of the public by wholesale?
Men are elected to legislatures and city
councils and entrusted with full powers
of all the people, whom they are expect
ed to represent, and to protect the inter
ests of the public. But it seems that at
least a majority of those elected are open
to bribery or influence which are against
the peoples general interest. II open
bribery does not avail, stocks, bonds, or
positions of trusts and profit are given.
The people can not be on guard because
they don't know of these schemes until
they are done or about to be done after
the scheme has been contaminated, The
legislators or councilmen's terms of office
expire and, if the money influences do
not prevail to r%eelect them, the people
elect another, generally of the anne par
ty on the excuse that he was not the mau
who betrayed the people, Then the new
man being subject to the same political
powers is used to promote some other
scheme.
The only way to hinder such piratical
schemes is to have a referendum i'll the
State Constitution requiring a direct vote
OF the people, upon the petition OF a
small per cent, of the citizens. Public
highways and public franchises are be-
coming so valuable for the promotion OF
electric lights, railways and water works
as the population increases, that there
should be some protection of the public
who should have the full benefit and pro
fits from public utilities, The blandish-
ments OF capitalists and all kinds of
scheners are becoming greater every day
and unless the referendum is resorted to
democratic government will soon pass
away.

Why They Come to Jersey.

1t has been the claim OF the New Jersey
authorities of recent years that the State
was selected for the incorporation Of the
monstrous trusts because OF tile security
afforded by our laws and their admins
tration. The real reason is found in the
fact that neither the stocks nor bonds of
any OF those corporations is locally taxed;
the real property, not being in the State,
is not taxed; and the incorporation tax is
one-fifth of one per cent, while in New
York it is one-twentieth per cent. and in
Pennsylvania one-third OF n per cent.
A corporation with a capital OF Sl0,000,-
600 would be required to pay in Pennsy-
lvania $33, 1888; in New York $1,000, and
in New Jersey, $4,000. 1t is this saving
of sixty per cent. in incorporation fees
which has led the trusts formed in New
York to come to New jersey for their in
corporation True american.

More shad Hatched This Year.

The e. 5. Fish Commission steamer
Fish Hawk, closed her shad Matching
season at Gloucester City, last Friday. 1t
has been the most phenomenal season on
record on the Fish Hawk, all previous
records having been smashed in the col
lection OF eggs. A brief description OF
the seasons work as given by Captain
James Smith, who has been with the boat
the past twenty years, is as follows
"During the season 1903, eco eggs
were collected, which is 81, OO0, 900 more
than last years collection. OF this NUM-
Der 80, All, 900 have been transferred to
stations at Harye De Grace, Md, Wash
ington. D. C., and the Pan-American EN-
position at Buffalo and 60,035,0O0 Try
have been Matched out by the crew OF the
Fish Hawk, which is seven million less
than last years record. This is due to
the season being so late in starting and 1t
being found necessary to ship someoi the
eggs away.
"Of the number Matched IS, 10000
were deposited by the boat crew on the
grounds off Washington Park, while the
others were shipped by car to May
Landing, Salem, Milford, Callicoon, Del
aware Water Gap, Asbury Park, Dtyid-
ing Creek, Old Bridge and other points
along the Delaware River, Shipments
were also made during the season as fol
lows: 5000, 900 eggs to Albany to be
deposited in the Hudson River; 100000
to the MARYLAND State Fish Commission
to be used at the Druid Hill Matching sta
ton; 5000, 600 to Connecticut and 5000
600 to Delaware.
The Fish Commission pays $40 permit
lion for the eggs which were collected
this season as follows: 1924, 600 from
the Washington Park fishery; l1,07S,0oo
from Benefits fishery at Glenn Mill
Cove; $3.50, 900 from Braner's Hill fish
erv, and 81, 1925, 600 from the gill fisher
men.
Summing up the season : WofkI IL SHOWS
that it has surpassed all previous records
n the Fish Hawk and the Delaware Rly-
er has yielded more spawn for propogat-
ing purposes than any other river in the
United States. The shad has increased
in weight the past ten years and many
more fish, weighing from 9 to II pounds,
are being caught, while this year the
''buck'' shad have been considered count
shad in the Philadelphia markets which
has never been known before.
Another feature OF the Fish Commits
sion's work is the Matching OF salmon
and this year shows a vast increase OF At
lantic salmon. There were caught this
season 8 at the Washington Park fishery
weighing from s to Is pounds each; two
at Benefits fishery weighing II and 10
pounds, and one by a giller weighing l4l
pounds.
Captain Smith has prepared a c%ollec-
ton of live fish from the Delaware River
and sent them to the Pan-American EX-
position at Buffalo. The Fish Hawk is
now undergoing repairs and will leave
next week for Woodstock, Mass,

Five Hundred Thousand Life lnsur-
ance Claims Paid.

The Prudential Insurance Company oil
America has recently paid its five hundred
thouSandth claim. The Prudential is the
only life insurance company conhnlng It's
operations exclusively to the United States
that can point to such a wonderful record,
aud it shows what a vast amount OF good
is being lone by that Company, particular
ly through its system of Industrial, OF
w~eekly-payment, life insurance
These 500, 900 claim payments show a
total amount of over $45, DOC, 200 paid ny
The Prudential on Industrial claims alone,
the daily number of payments now averag-
ing over 200. The large amount OF want
and distress prevented and relieved through
the lust distribution of this vast sum OF
money explains why Industrial insurance
is so popular in America.
On policies issued by The Prudential on
the Industrial plan, the premiums are col
lected weekly at the homes of the pohcy-
holders. in sums of five, ten or fifteen cents,
and upwards, per week. The Prudentlal
has liberalized its policies very materially
since the organization of the mpan
Twenty-Five wears ago, and in addition mas
established for itself a very enviable posi-
ton in the world of life insurance by ar
ranging for the payment of all Just claims
Immediately upon receiptoi proofs Oh ueatn'
Not only is this true, but it has even ar
ranged to pay certain claims by Telegraph
and others directly through its held repre-
sentatiyes, so that, while every precau'ioh
is taken by the Company to protect the iu-
terests OF existing po~licy-holders, tne money
is placed in the hands OF the benehciary at
the earliest possible moment. This prae-
tically doubles the value OF NE ipsaianee,
narticularIv among those holding Industrial
policies. where there is frequently no other
ready money at hand. -
