BIRDS DEvouRED THE INSECTS
Spread of the Pest Result of Bird
Killing

An observant planter in Americus
yesterday gave it as his opinion that
the spread of cotton weevils and other
destructive insects is the result of the
wholesale slaughter Of birds of every
species. Before the day of the deadly
pump gun and breech-loader, birds
were very numerous and devoured the
insects. Now everything that wears
feather is killed without mercy, in
season and out, and the spread OF In
sect pests is the result.

HELPING YOUNG MINISTER
OUT OF HIS DIFFICULTY

A young minister In a college town
was embarrassed by the thought of
criticism in his cultivated congrega-
ton.
He sought counsel from his father,
an old and wise minister, saying:
Father, l am hampered in my min
istry in the pulpit | am now serving.
If | cite anything from geology, there
is Prof. A, teacher of this science,
right before me-. If l use an illustra-
ton of Roman mythology, there is
Prof. B. ready to trip me UP for my
little i%naccuracy. If l instance some.
thing in English literature that
pleases me, I am covered by the
presence of the learned man that
teaches that branch. What shall l
do?"
The sagacious old man replied:
DO not be discouraged. Preach
the gospel. They probably know very
little of that"

Every man who believes in the
principles as here stated is invited to
fill out the above coupon and send 1t

This is a movement to down the
bosses, overthrow the corporation
control of the state legislature and
put the reins of government in the

Every honest citizen who has the
welfare of his country at heart should
be glad to assist. Every name lends
encouragement to the cause, and each
man can do his own little part. The
ring is powerfully e~ntrenched and
the success of this movement for the
cause of good government depends on
the individual voters.
Everybody join the movement.

VICE CHANcELLoR's OPINION

Vice Chancellor Pitney had some
thing more to say regarding the wat
er board deal at Runyon at the hear
ing in Newark Tuesday. He did moi
hesitate to express his opinion of the
matter as explained to him by Judge
Lyon.
"The talk of paying $500 an acre
for such land is nonsense and shocks
common decency," he is quoted as
saying.
That is just what a great many
people here think about it and that
is the reason some citizens, unable
to stand for such a deal, commenced
the action in the court which, it is
hoped, will prevent such a transac-
tion being carried out.
The vice chancellor commended
the citizens for the action they had
taken and said all citizens should
take an interest in public affairs and
hold up any deal about which there
was a shadow of a doubt.
Such advice is wholesome and
should be borne in mind.
Public officials are elected to serve
the people and carry on public busi-
ness the same as if it was their own.
When this is not done the people
should call a halt.
This is what was done in this wat
er board deal and it will probably
be done with any other big tIansac-
ton of the same order.
Tom Clark and "Chief Soaker"
Haney, two Of Dory Strong's chief
%lieutenants in this city, are members
of this board and were among the
most active In rushing the deal
through.
A fight is being made in this coun-
ty this fall to put Dory Strong and
his henchmen out of business. II is
for the citizens to go to the primar-
les and do their duty.

TENEMENT HOUSES.

Perth Amboy there would be some

horrible and his department intend

The law is very strict, and the land
lord who refuses to comply with the
demands of the commission will find
himself in trouble quick.
In connection with this matter 1t is
probable that something will be said
about a building law for the city. No
place the size of Perth Amboy, it is
safe to say, is so lax in this matter.

any kind of an old shack al long as
it will hold together.
