SATURDAY, SEPT. Z. 1907.

A dispatch sent out from Wash
ington this week, and which is
evidently the work of some fake
artist, states that the very peo-
pie that opposed the union OF
New Mexico and Arizona into
one state are now advocating
the UNION of Arizona and Nevada.
Such absurd propositions as this
one makes the Arizonian smile.
This territory is rapidly forging
ahead and we are satisfied tor
the time being with our present
territorial government. OF course
we desire to be a state OF the
union but we are not fools enough
to want to be tackled onto some
other subdivision of these United
States. We can afford to wait
until congress sees fit to admit
us to statehood with our present
boundaries as the lines of the
State of Arizona. And what is
more, we will wait.

The Local Option Movement.

Jos. H. Collier, associate editor OF
1.-THE Issue" official organ of the Anti
saloon League held three meetings in
and near Mullica Hill Sunday, speak
ing in the Methodist Church here in
the morning, at Evan Methodist
Church in the afternoon, and at I'm
ion service in the Baptist Church here
in the evening.
He said the Anti-Saloon League is
not another temperance organization.
but the agency of the churches fol
immediate practical work against the
liquor traffic: that it is federated
church movement controlled by men
chosen from the different church bod
les at their regular annual meetings.
He said. that the League is organized
in forty-four different states and terri
tories in the Union, and that the IL
uuor men recognize its practical meth
DDS as their worst enemy, and he quot
ed from their official reports to show
this.
He said the League is inter-denom-
national and omni-partisan and that
herein lies its great power.
He said it is not the voice of the
Republican party nor the Democratic
party nor any political party, but the
voice Of the federated church of Jesus
Christ demanding freedom from the
rum-oligarchy; that 1t is necessary
for the League to enter political life.
because the liquor business is en-
trenched there and we must meet them
on their battle ground: we must go
where they are in order to fight them.
He said we are united and working
for an effective home rule law in this
State. law which will give the people
Of a township. village, town, borough,
city or other municipality, or ward, or
county, a right to free themselves
from the crim-breeding, tax-produc-
ing. e-destroying liquor traffic, by
the sovereign right of the ballot. He
said this isn't the whole object of the
church in this movement, the work of
this federated church movement will
not have been completed until the last
grog-shop is driven from jerseys soil.
But he said, local option is a long
stride in that direction; it is the most
effective measure we can secure at
this time, and it drives out saloons.
He stated that out of 100000 of
people now living in dry territory
in this country. 30,000,000 of them live
in territory made dry by the opera
ton of Local Option laws He show
ed how Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia, Mis-
souri,, Tennessee, Vermont, Oregon
and other states were rapidly freeing
themselves of the saloons by local OPP
ton.
He gave a brief narrative of the
progress of the Local Option bill in
the last Assembly; telling of how the
House was dominated by liquor boss
ism, and of how the bill was juggled
in committee.
He said, we are not asking the Leg
islators to close saloons, but to let us
do so if we wish. 1t is a measure
which ought to appeal to the sense of
fairness and Anericanism Of every
Senator and Assemblyman, and if they
are going to stand in the way of this
bill, we must elect men on this issue !;
men who will give us this fair law,
and the campaign is on. he said
throughout the State.

Bows Declare their Riahts.

The 'sinalienabe rights, of healthy,
vigorous city boys were put squarely up
to Mayor Ellis, Of Camden, last Saturday,
in unique petition sent to him in answer
to complaints made against roller skating
The petition was framed by boys living in
the vicinity of Sixth and Vine streets,
Camden, and is as follows
1--WE are in no way responsible for our
being here, neither have we the choosing
Of our place Of domicile. Because eircum-
stances have placed rs here we have in no
wav surrendered our inalienable right
Among the inalienable right Of a boy is
the right to live, the right to grow and de-
velop, the right to breathe Gods pure air,
the right to play as well as study, and
such natural rights as are common to boys.
Now, your Honor, we respectfully
catalogue the tdon's' some Of the sOsIer-
ties in our vicinity are won't to prescribe
for boys.
Don't skate on the street, don't skate
on the sidewalk, don skate anywhere.
Don't play ball on the street, don't play
ball on the sidewalk. don't play ball on
the vacant lot, don't play bali anywhere.
Don't play any game that causes an
noyanee, don't play any game
Don't make noise, don't sing, don't
whistle don't run, don't remain out Of bed
after Z o'clock.
Don't we'll don't do anything any live,
healthy, vigorous boy should
Now, your Honor, we pray you to dis
miss such a petition, and for doing SO we
pledge you we will grow up to be as good,
loyal citizens as any Of our petitioners
The.Camden boys are right. Cities haye
no right to deprive boys the right to play,
to shout, play ball and skate. The right
Of children to have place to play is Of
more vital Importance than that generally
conceded. To play right ought to be part Of
child education, and where possible the play
grounds ought TO be school grounds
