a we'll played game throughout but several
disputes made by the Columbia Field Club
caused deal Of kicking all were; amieablv
settled however,
Columbia Field Club may bave thought
they had Giants to play against as they
brought about half-dozen substitutes
with them. Woodbury. hasn't such' a
heavy team but they are right in the game
from start to finish.
The weather was warm on Saturday and
it was decided to play is minute halls.
,fhe score stood 6 to 0 at the end of the
second half
1t seems to be as handy for some people
to come in the side and back way which
costs nothing as to go in from West Centre
Street where tickets are sold, and which
only cost the small sum OF ten cents.

INJusrIcE OF PRESENT TAXATION

Taxation has been defined as that part Of
a mans (or a acorporation's) property which
the State exacts from him in order that he
may be protected II the possession OF the
rest According to this principle, the
railroad owners ought to be the last people
in the State to be exempt from paying for
the protection. which their property re-
ceiyes, in common with that Of Others, but
by the present unjust laws the railroads
saye over three million dollars per year, so
that the other taxpayers have to pay, in
addition to their own taxes, this sum or
three million dollars for the protection of
railroad property

.A STATE CONVENTION
IN WOODBURY..

III WUUUDUnl. !.
The Christian grace of hospitality which
should follow the virtues of love for ones
neighbor and forgetfulness Of self is found
among all classes OF people. This truth
has been exempli6ed in the experiences of
the Entertainment Committee of the Wood
bury W. c. T. e. in preparing for the
approaching State Convention on 10--25th
to 2sth The women of this committee
who have visited nearly all of the best
homes in our city have met with very gen.
eral courtesy, and cordial compliance
with the request to open hearts and homes
to the delegates
Every local branch of the w C. 7. q.
in the state which numbers nearly 5000
members entitled to send two delegates
and many visitors are also expected
We feel sure that Woodbury. will be not
one whit behind other cities in cordiality OF
its welcome to this convention. This well
come will of course extend beyond the en-
tertaining of delegates to attendance at the
meetings. An evidence of the culture is
that broad spirit of charity for all news
which welcomes every honest effort for
humanity's veal All persons having such
spirit will gladly improve the opportun-
ity to learn of the methods and results of a
reform work of which they may know but
little.
Each of the twenty-six departments of
work will be briefly reported by special
ist in that particular line Of effort.
Many women of rare culture and large
influence have given Of their best to this
society which is called Organized Mother
Love-" 1t is the largest organization Of
women in the world, extending into every
civilized nation.
The following is our Declaration of
Principles -
1--WE believe in the coming Of His
kingdom whose serl ise Is petsect fieeaaal,
because His laws, written in our members
as we'll as in nature and grace, are perfect,
converting the soul
s'We believe 10 the Gospel of the Golden
Rule, and that each mans habits of life
should be an example safe and benificient
for every other man to follow
''We believe that God created both man
and woman in His own image. and there
fore, we believe in one standard of purity
for both men and women, and in the equal
right of all to hold opinions and express
the same with equal freedom.
We believe in living wage; in an eight
hour day; in courts of Cancellation and ar
pitration; in justice as opposed to greed OF
gain; in peace on earth and good will to
mem
We therefore for mulate, and for our
selves adopt the following pledge, asking our
sisters and brothers of common danger
and a common hope, to make common
cause with us, in working The reasonable
and helpful precepts into the pratice OF
every day life.
hereby solemnly promise, God helping
me, to abstain from all distilled. ferment-
ed and malt liquors, including wine, beer
and cider, and to employ all proper means
to discourage the use of and traffic ia the
same.

Republican Lawer Resents Attack on candi-
date Black.

Major Carl Lentz, Republican leader OF
Essex County, New jersey, in addressing
recently the Republican County Conn
mittee, Of which he is chairman, charged
that Charles c. Black, Democratic candi-
date for Governor, volunteered his services
in defense Of the ballot-box suffers tried
in the Hudson County courts in 1900.
Major Lentz said that when requsst was
made for volunteer counsel, Mrssslack was
one Of the first to come forward.
Albert T. Draytqn,. lawyer 81 Jersey

the same reason.

NO DISCRIMINATION.

There is no reason why men who have
their money invested in railroads should
not have their property assessed and
taxed in the same way as the man whose
money is invested in a farm or store. The
railroads receive the same protection as the
farmer or storekeeper, and ought to pay
the same rate Of tax for it,
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1904-10-13

Mr.. Charles G. Black, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, is squarely in
favor of taxing railroad property at the
same rate as other property, and not at the
present rate of five dollars per $1,000, this
being discrimination against the individ-
ual and in favor Of diyidend-producing
railroads.
