EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Newark Advertiser:
Mayor Beleher, of Paterson, lived
a double life. The face he present
ed to the public was hat OF an honest
and conscientious man, loyal to his
friends, true to his trusts and deserv-
ing of esteem and honor. The face
he recognized in the glass was that
OF a knave who robbed his friends
and clients, forged the names of
others in order to get money, plumb
cred institutions that trusted him
and ever robbed a workingman out
of his accumulated savings. This
man is a fugitive from justice.
But what kind of a moral atmos-
phere is it in which Mayor Belcher
has lived? We have seen the manag-
ers Of the local newspapers constitute
ing themselves a court of sensors
to suppress the facts in this shame
full case, and here is Prosecutor En-
ley saving ~resentfully Of the publica-

If Paterson is an ideal place to at

much by ~criminality as by the tolera-
ton of criminality. When leading
men in Paterson pledge themselves
to put up any amount of money to
ove up the criminal acts of Mayor
Belcher, G the newspapers com
bining to conceal his criminality
from the public, and when the pros
ecutor of the pleas talks in such a
strain, Paterson is made a target for
in such straincaustic criticism by the
outside world. 1t is evident, indeed,
that the people of Paterson, who are
as moral and law-abiding as those of
any other community, need to get
rid of some of their public officials
and so-called leading men who mis-
represent them so scadalously.
Camden Courier:
How great corporations are capit-
allied beyond their tangible possess
sions is explained by the Eastern
Steel Company, whose plant at Potts
Vile, Pa, has just gone into opera
ton. The cost of the plant to date is
frankly stated to be $4,000, 900, and
about $4,000 0 more may yet be ex-
pended. The company has outstand-
ing $4,000, 900 of bonds, $4,000, 900
first and $200,0 600 second preferred
stock, and $1,000, 600 of common
stock making a total capitalization
of $7,S50,000, or twice the cost of
the plan. If all the common stock
were sold it would more than pay
for establishing the plant, and ii
would stand a poor chance of shar-
ing in dividends, just as do the Unit
ed States Steel common stockhold-
ers would be sure of their per cent
ages, whether there were sufficient
earnings or not. Capitalization is a
great scheme, an art for which the
country is most indebted to promot-
ers of the Morgan school.

A FAMOUS SONG.
How "Abide With Me" Came to Be
Written.

Henry Francis Lyte, author of
that matchless composition "Abide
With Me-" for twenty years was a
sufferer from consumption. During
this time he was the minister over
parish composed largely OF fisher
folk in coast town Of England.
He laborcd faithfully among his
people, yet he always longed to do
something that would have an in
fuence for the good of humanity
after his death-a longing which
found expression in "a beautiful
poem. The story Of how this desire
came to be fulfilled through writing
"Abidc With Me" is related in the
Delincator in All interesting paper
by Allan Sutherland, giving the his
tory and romance of the famous
hymn.
''In the autumn of 1917 his ply
sicians informed Mr.. Lyte that it
would be necessary for him to rcln-
qmsh his work and spend the win
ter in Italy. When the last Sab
bath of his stay i'll England, Sept.
5, 1917, arrived he determined to
preach once more to his little flock
and to celebrate with them the
Lords supper. In spite of the pro-
test Of friends, he carried out his
intentions, although scarcely able
to stand in the chanccl. In words
Of melting tenderness lie pleaded
with his people to live holy lives,
and when he took his leave of them
there was scarcely dry eye in the
church. The day had been well
nigh perfect, and in the late after
noon, recovering somewhat from the
strain of the service in the church,
he walked slowly and feebly down
the terraced walk to the water he
loved SO well and which he was
about to leave forever. The spell
of the hour was upon the minister.
While the bright sunset colors fad
ed into the sober grays of twilight
ne slowly made his way back to the
house in prayerful silence and went
to his room. When he joined his
family a little later he bore in his
hand the words that were destined
to move thousands. His prayer had
been answered. His last evening in
his old home had produced that
which will be a blessing SO long
as the heart turns to its Maker for
help in times of need"

lack of inches by his wit and ready
retort.

About Pension Haoney.

Columbia, March 31.-The State
board of pension commissioners /. ad-
jouroed today and it was.stated that
as result Of this s,rict inspection
"a number OF applications has been
sent back to each county for correc-
ton. This, howeser, applies to
clerical errors and does not include
numtcr turned down because they
were clearly not entitled to pension
money. If these applications are act
ed upoa promptly the money can be
paid out by May 10, and it is desired
to have all Of the corrected returns in
by the middle Of April. The board
regratted very much to take this action,
but it was absolutely necessary and it
feels that the county boards should
aid it in carrying out the law.
It is very probable now that there
will be no reunion until some time
this fall, although this has not been
definitely decided upon as yet. If
this is the case most Of the pension
ers will not be as hard pushed as usual
at this time, as money is often spent
in coming to these reunions.

more to sell, my friend returned to

marked Increase In Tho Sales.

II is stated on good authority that
the increase in the sale OF liquor by
The State for the quarter ending March
l was 1922 900. The fiscal year be-
gins with the 1st OF December.
At this rate of increase the sales
for the entire year will'show an in
crease of a million dollars, and last
year they were heavier than ever be-
fore. The total amount bought by
the State dispensary in the first quar-
ter If the fiscal year was 1873, 900
and the total amount paid to the State
dispensary by she local dispensaries
was 81, ,200,0 900.
This shows an astonishing array Of
figures. The gross sales Of the sub
dispensaries in 1903 amounted to 81,
8l7 900, just little more than twice
as much fer three months Ct the pres
cot year. Some ascribe this state Of
affairs to the fact that dispensaries

Guessing Tins in Court.

One day in referring to humorous
happenings in court, Congressman
Champ Clark told Of an important law
suit tried at Clay Center, Missouri,
in which the testimony Of small boy
touching the period Of time require d
to get bucket Of water for his moth
er became question Of considerable
Importance to the opposing side.
The lad had stated that it took him
just ten minutes to get the water.
The opposing attorneys adopted means,
in their questioning of the lad, that
were calculated to rattle the witness,
but to no avail. Finally one Of the
attorneys pulled out his watch, pro-
posing to test the lads notion Of
time. The lawyers who depended up
on the boys testimony strenuous!y
objected to this course, for it is we'll
known that nothing is harder than to
sit still and gage in the passing Of
time. However. the judge ordered
the test to be made. The court clock
was stopped, watches were drawn, and
the lad told to begin the test.
After o minute or so the silence in
the courtroom became oppressive;
everyone fidgeted nervously, except
the youngster, who chewed gun,
swung his foot against the rounds of
his chair and gazed placidly over the
benches as though the procedure had
little interest for him. Three, four,
five, six, minutes passed, and still he
made no sign.
Then the lawyers resumed their eff
forts to rattle the witness. isn't
the time about up?" asked one.
"Nope," answered the boy, chewing
gum harder than ever.
Seven and eight minutes elapsed.
Haven't you got that water pumped
yct?" said one Of the attorneys in a
tone intended to convey the impress
81 IN that more than ten minutes had
passed.
Reckon not" sententiously replied
the boy. Whereat his own lawyers
chuckled.
Then nine minutes passed; and
tick, tick, tick, went the second to-
ward the ten-minute mark. About
four seconds before the limit set, the
boy drawled out:
Gents, think I got that water
drawed."
After the trial when some one asked
him how he had contrived to guess
the time 80 correctly, he replied:
"Oh, I just sorter knowed, that's 8
