Gloucester County Democrat., 1907-10-24

Last week we offered this property at
$75, and as we have had no offers, con-
fcluded that land there is not booming, as
we supposed. But we have learned that
all other lot owners there have had their
assessments doubled, Assessing property
at twice its value may enable the County
Board to make smaller tax rate,
but it is confscation Of property.
II such doings are permitted, there
is no limit to which these officials
cannot go, and no man is safe in his prop
erty rights. We have no hesitation in
branding such assessments as petty larceny
in the name Of taxation. Such methods are
not directed at corporations Voters how
long are you going to stand it
It is condition, nota theory that con-
fronts property owners, and the only means
Of escape therefrom is to vote against the
party that created this condition 1t is
intolerable.

A GIassbOro Voters Plea.

Mr. EDITOR The Glassboro Enterprise
had very much exaggerated report Of
Mr. Forts reception in Glassboro At
Stanger's store about twenty five people
gathered to recefYe him. At Whitney's
factory the whistle was blown, then az the
crowd did not show up, the whistle was
footed as for fire, and even after that many
OF the workmen never even stopped work,
and the ones accompanying Mr. Fort in the
autos were in the majority. B5 the ex
preston on the faces Of the committee they
felt very much disheartened at she absence
of many prominent Republicans, and il IS
no wonder the editor OF the Enterprise
knows Mr. Forts declaration by heart, hear
ing him declare himself at every stop on
the Bishops law, which, by the way, is all
ready law, but it seems very funny now
some people will use pious cloak to hide
a multitude OF sins, and try and mislead
the voters and divert their minds from the
real issue, which is wholesale graft and
corruption in stase departments. And any
one who tries to concsal the missruIe, rob
berry aud thievery thai has been going on
in nearly all the State departments must
certainly be one of the gang We don't see
the Enterprise printing the report of the
findings Of the Hahn committee, as that
would be fair 80 the voters. We don't see
him printing the action of the two parties
in this last long session of the Legislature
He is afraid in doing that Mr.. Forts fol
lowers would be weighed in the balance
and found wanting. Who was it that
wanted TO tax every poor man one dollar
for owning a gun. Ask Mr.. Cattell
We are pleased TO see the Enterprise ad-
visiug all voters TO vote for G. W. Carr for
County Clerk, for he is good, honest, up-
right, reliable man, one TO whom the sacred
book means uuch, aud the oath taken by
him on the Book of all Books will come
from the depths of an honest heart. So we
heartily join with she GIassboro Enterprise
and advise all voters to vote for Geo. w
Carr, and we are sure 40 one will ever re-
gret it. Aud we 60 further and say vote
for katzenbaeh, the man nominated by the
people, he is Of the people and when
elected will be for the people. Not so with
Mr. Fort, nominated by the gang, one Of
the gang, and will be for the gang The
people not in it. Aud that pious cloak
Mr.. Fort is wearing will soon wear out. 1t
is getting threadbare now, then the judge
ment which will fall on Nov. 5bh, 1907.
Some of the voters can be fooled all the
time, and some part Of the time, but all
the people can not be fooled all the time.
No voter can do any better than vote for
Kafzenbach, Slckler, Carr and Ashcraft, a
quartette that measures up to the highest
standard required of public servants, aud
no pious cloak will ever have TO be used to
coyer their actions, for they are men Of
good report. 4 VOTER

Candidate Fort in Gloucester County

Ex-Judge J. Franklin Fort, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, made whirl
through Gloucester County last Thursday,
accompanied by Chairman Reading Of the
County Committee, the county candidates,
and cloud" Of Republicans officeholders
and would-be office-holders. They made a
very imposing appearance, and at con-
venient distances stopped and held recep-
tions among themselves. Each member of
the party carried box of cigars, and that
fact lent interest to the outing. The party
stopped at Newton Hotel for dinner, and
chairman Reading took Mr.. Fort into the
Epworth League Conyention, then in ses-
sion, where the candidate made his usual
plea for civic righteousness. After dinner
Mr.. Fort made speech from Newton
Hotel veranda during which he said 1.if
elected he would give the State as good
government in the future as it had in the
past better if he could.'' Mr.. Harrison
Liyermore, Esq, applauded this senti-
ment, bat when the candidate concluded
with the words Boys, if / am elected and
you see any thing yon want, come up, ths
boys Of the auto party gave hearty cheer.
At Wiiliamstiown Mr. Fort spoke again.
Here he referred to Mr.. Katzenbach, talking
about the report of the Hahn investigating
committee. He said "he had meyer seen OF
heard Of this report before, so be asked the
Governor about it and the Governor did
not know anything about it. He also
asked. the Secretary of the Senate about it,
and that official said he knew nothing
about it, hence, said Mr.. Fort. 81 conclude
there is no such report Had Mr.. Fort
but asked DR.. Halsey, the chairman Of the
meeting, be could have learned something
Of that report, because the Doctor is one o.
the Trenton Asylum commission and gave
close attention to the testimony adduced
during the investigation Of that institution

Estate, asked that an extension of water
mains and sewer pipes be laid on Davis
street, 300 feet Dorth Of Delaware, and
agreeing to yedicate those streets to the
city at once
Mr. Cattell thought the request should

NO IMMEDIATE PROSPECT
lOF SUMMER WEATHER

Washington. May 29.-Remarkablv.
unreasonable weather with cold
wave extending throughout the coun-
try east of the Rocky Mountains,
therometers in some regions register
Ing the lowest temperatures for the
season in many years, is reported by
the weather bureau. Tonight the
bureau issued the following special
forecast:
Frost warnings have been issued
for the middle Atlantic states and
eastern lower lake region, western
Colorado, east Wyoming, Utah and
northern Arizona, and warnings of
freezing temperature for western
Wyoming .5ss ,s /, s3 .i5 II.
Added to this flood warnings have
been issued for the lower Rio Grande
valley and supplementary warnings
for the Red river valley in southwest
Arkansas.
Weather bureau officials say
that there is no Immediate pros :.
pect of any. summer weather any
where.
The present cold wave, they add,
had been running through most of the
present month. Heavy frosts are re-
ported to the bureau from Michigan
and other states Of the lake region.
The cold wave is particularly severe
In the southwest and is due, accord
Ing to weather experts, to heavy rains
in that part Of the country. The indi-
cations in this section of the country
are for a light fall OF frost tonight.
Forecaster Harry G. Frankenfield OF
the weather bureau tonight said:
'1The reason for the cold weather we
have had during the past two or three
months Is that high areas of pressure
have moved eastward from the north
ern portion Of the country almost con
tinuously and these have caused colo
north winds. That is the only reason
can give for the cold weather areas
As to what makes these high areas
keep up all this season is more thar
I can tell. - Is. 81
Not since 1882 has the abnorma
weather been approached in this par
of the country. "
