WHO LIEDi

campaign it is a difficult matter to
convince those who will not take the
pains to read and investigate for
themselves that what the opposite
political party says is "mere politi
cal claptrap." There are others
who are so prejudiced and biased
that they will not listen to reason.
During the recent political campaign
the new tax laws were pretty thor
oughly discussed by both political
parties. We might say it was the
paramount issue Of the campaign.
All other issues were lost sight of.
Taxation was the one subject that
interested all. Whether rich or
poor the change in our tax laws set
the people to discussing the ques-
ton for 1t meant that the change
would increase or decrease our taxes.
After carefully reading the new
tax laws the Democrats took the
position that the new laws were I'M
fair and unjust as it placed the bur-
den of taxation upon the common
people. The Democrats contended
that it would increase the taxes of
the poor people. That the new tax
laws were framed in such manner
that the wealthy corporations were
largely exempt from taxation, to all
of which the Republicans entered
an emphatic denial. They said that
the new tax laws would lessen the
taxes of the poor people at least one
third. They stoutly maintained that
the new tax laws would enormously
increase the taxes of the large cor
porations. They told the people
that the new tax laws taxed oil, gas
and coal. The Democrats contend
ed that such was not the case. The
Republicans declared that the Sec
rotary of State corporation fees
which amount to some S3s, 900
would go into the State Treasury
instead of the Secretary's pocket as
heretofore. The Democrats denied
this. And thus the discussion of
assertion and denial went on until
the close of the campaign.
The question is, which political
party told the truth, the Republican
or Democratic ? The new tax as.
SCISSOR has been around and made
his assessment. Has he not doubt
ed and threbled your former assess
ment? We think so. Which one
of the political parties misrepresent-
ed this part of the new tax laws ?
The Republican party.
The Montgomery bill which pro-
vldes that the Secretary Of State
| corporation ices be paid In TO the
State Treasury proves that the Re-
publicans misrepresented this por-
ton of the new tax laws. The bill
which was introduced in the House
to tax oil and gas Ct omitted coal)
is conclusive evidence that the new
tax laws did not place tax upon
oil and gas.
1t is now up to the Republicans
10 apologize to the people and admit
that they were ignorant of the pro-
visions Of the new tax laws, or that
they deliberately misrepresented
them. 1t was one or the other.

but its people should be especially proud
Of this great institution, which prepares a

Children Taken From Parents.

4 case new in this city was that insti-
tuted by Mr. Williams. representative of
the ChiidTen's Home Society, of Trenton,
against Lewis and Mary Clark, Of this city,
to take their four children, aged from to
ii years from their care, and place them
with the Society. The parents were takea
into custody last Saturday, and the hearing
was before Justice Davis, in the Sheriff's
Office Tuesday morning Neighbors testi-
fed to Mrs. Clark's intemperate habits,
though all said she was a hard working
woman. It was also in evidence that Mrs.
Clark sold clothing given her by Wood
bury church societies for the children, and
purchased beer with the proceeds.
Mr. Clark testified that he resided in
Paulsboro for ten years and worked at the
powder works. While there he owned
nice home. But he became nervous and
afraid Of his position, and resigned. Since
then things had gone " ong. He lost his
property, and things went from bad to
worse. When he reformed and tried to
lead decent life, his wife continued to
drink, and he became disguised and left
home at times, to find things worse when
he returned. He told Of innumerable
instances of his trials and of his efforts to
reform his wife, but of no avail.
After hearing the story of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark, Justice Davis turned the children
over to the Children Home Society; then
Mr. Williams, the representative of that
Society, turned them over to Mrs. Clark in
consideration of the fact that both herself
and husband signed a pledge not to taste
Intoxicating liquors for five years, and
pledged themselves to send the children to
both day and sabbath-schoo At any time
this pledge is broken the local representa-
tive of the Trenton society is authorized TO
take the children aud turn them over to
the parent society.

Facts About the Robins.
from the Bernardsville News

Some interesting figures in connection
with the robins deeds and misdeeds have
been presented by DR.. Louis E. Foulk State
fish and game warden. He shows that one
pair of robins and their ofspring will destroy
332. 329 insects in a single season, and that
the estimated value of each pair of birds to
the farmers is fully S3S. S.23. He also shows
that the proportion Of cherries and berries
in an old birds feod is only eight per cent
and in young birds food less than one per
cent, while the number of insects destroy
ed by robins in one day pays for all the fruit
they eat in whole year. Why, in the face
Of these facts, any farmer or horticulturist
should insist upon the annihilation Of the
robin, is problem that IS difficult Of solu-
tion. On the contrary, strong and united
effort should be made for the protection Of
this beautiful songster, whose Spring com
ing we have all learned from childhood to
hall with delight.
