The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1906-10-30

FOLLOWING its efforts to be FUNNY the
Herald last week gave to Assemblyman
Robbins the name of Mosquito Sam. !"
The following article is from that paper
Samuel x. Robbins, the farmers
friend only when he is candidate for
office, is one of the men who stood for that
appropriation of $350,000 to harvest the
mosquito crop. This is the way Mosquito
Sam helped the farmers. He put up their
taxes and there were more mosquitoes this
year than ever.
There are many people in this state who
think the appropriation to exterminate
mosquitoes was very good thing. But
Assemblyman Robbins did not agree with
them and at the expense of spelling a good
joke we are compelled to deny the entire
statement in the Herald In support of
this assertion we refer to the minutes of
the House of Assembly for the year 1906,
pages 1917 and 101S, where the vote on
the mosquito bill will be found, with the
names of Assemblymen Robbins and Trick
ID the negative. SO we are obliged to take
the Heralds end of the article. 1t claims
that the mosquito bill put up the farmers
taxes, and therefor was not friend of
that class. OF course then, if MIR. Rob
bins voted against the bill, as the records
show, he must have been just the opposite
OF what the Democratic organ claimed,
and from that standpoint is entitled to
support

SUPPOSE that William P. Lippincott had
been retained in the Surrogate's office for
ten years by Democratic principal, and
suppose, at the end OF that time he had
been nominated by the Republicans for
the office of Surrogate, would the Demo
Gratis have thought his ability, competency
and such things were in his favor9
Not much. In the first place they
would never have consented to his
being retained They would have de-
handed his removal at once And if Jo-
seph Huff had been taken from the ranks
of the party, without any experience, to
combat Mr.. Lippincott under circum-
stances exactly the reverse of the present
situation, would the organ have played all
the funny tunes that it is now playing
against Mr.. Lippincott7 The latter would
have been denounced in the choicest selec-
tions at command of the opposite party,
and pleading arguments would be offered
to give Mr.. Huff chance

The people Of Brunswick have small
hopes that the $4,000 small salmon
recently placed in the AndrOscOggin
River will live and they do not believe
that the time viii ever be- seen when
these fish can be caught in this river.
1t is said that large numbers of the
small fry have been found dead ON the
banks of the river below the falls and
it is supposed that many hundreds
more have gone down the river. The
principal reason given for this is that
il is impossible for any fish to live in n
river, the water of which is so con-
taminated as is the water of the
Audroscoggin. At Pejepscot Mills.
only few miles above Brunswick
there is a large sulphite paper mill all
