MASON FOR SHERIFF
BOOM TO BE LAUNCHED BY
FRIENDS TODAY.
Under Sheriff Yields to Temptation,
Takes ~Holiday-Not Depending on
His Party's Larder.

Something unusual happened today
Under Sheriff Charles M. Mason took a day
off. 1t puzzled the attaches at the Court
House. and those who daily frequent the
Sherin's office were inclined TO doubt the
report. but several constables who were
not fortunate enough to accompany
Mason's party vowed that 1t was true. 1t
happened this way:
The Sheriff's men are a bunch of jolly
good fellows and several times this sumner
enjoyed trips, down the bay and elsewhere.
and each time Mason remained at home,
and In order to convince him that they had
a good time the score of them would APP
proach him individually, and 1t was a case
of "Charley, you don't know what you
missed and Charley, you ought TO have
been with u.s. and other remarks that
tended to make the reform champion feel
as though some day he would surprise
them all.
The time arrived this morning, and at
$3.50, led by Constable Joseph L. Hayes, a
party of about thirty in all jumped on a
Plank road trolley car and allghted when
the river was reached, where a naphtha
launch was waiting for them to get aboard.
and suddenly the power was switched on
and it was off to Sewaren.
While no mention was made Of what
would take place, Joe" Hayes told sew
eral reporters before he left that he was
going 10 spring "A boom for Mason 10 sue
coed Sheriff Sonimer.
Friends of the Under Sheriff are aware
that he can more than do justice to a
good meal, and none other than Jake
the Barber eau vouch for 1t. They were
all surprised today, however, when Mason
arrived at the Sheriff's office, and with
him a large, old-time market basket.
"why. Charley, that wasn't necessary.
said Hayes. I'VE are only going away Tor
a day. and not for a week, and We'll have
lots to eat and drink on board
"Oh, that's all right. joe replied the
Under Sheriff, II brought these along
for my luneh.'
During the Under Sheriff's absence for
a few minutes several inspected the basket
and discovered that there were two full
sized roast chickens. four bottles OF lemon
soda and a sponge cake.
II see you brought some chicken Char
ley" said Constable Dickson.
Eyes, Dicky, and they are not embalmec
ones. ether he replied.
Among other good things Mason relishe'
is a Southern watermelon called the RAT
~tlesnake.'' One of the party secured on'
and 1t will be presented to the ofncia
during the day.

he gave as a reason that the party was
anxious TO get back TO the city before
O'Clock to allow several of the guests e
do som shopping in Centre Market, ans
this would make the time for sport too
short.

LICENSE QUESTION AGAINl
Ocean Grove Pastor Reopens Asbury
Park Dispute.

ASBURY PARK, Aug. Spy nling a
writ of cersiorari the Rev. George Clark,
Of Ocean Grove. yesterday opened again
the license question in Asbury Park. Ever
since the Chancery Court gave a ruling Mt
the opening Of the season that liquor
might be sold from unrestricted property
In Asbury Park and could not be sold from
ether property, many OF the hotels have
been selling The writ is directed chiefly
against Frederick w. Book, proprietor Of
the Hotel St. James.
In advancing reasons why this license
and others granted by the Excise Board
ef Asbury Park, should not be considered
legal, the famous Ocean Grove mile-limis
law Is cited. This is a law prescribing
that liquor shall not be sold within a mile
of any eamp-mesting resort IN New Jer-
sey and has often been declared unconsti-
~tutional by prominent lawyers Of the Stat.
though its constitutionality has never been
passed upon by the courts.
Counsellor David Harvey, IT,. who is rep
resenting the Rev. Mr.. Clark in this action,
as he did in the original proceeding, claims
that the licenses now in effect here were
granted contrary to an act entitled ian
act restricting the granting of licenses
to sell spirituous, v%inous, malt or hrewet
liquors in certain places in this State. APP
proved March o, 1926" 1t Is claimed thai
the mode of procedure in establishing tht
excise board from which the licenses now
infected came, was contrary to the clts
charter. 1t is therefore chained that ths
board has no legal existence. These pro
ceedings will nave no effect upon tbs
local sale OF liquor until passed upon b,
the court. as an Injunction cannot nov
be ecured.

In addition TO that there are coun.
terfeits. The immigrants bring over
heaps of bad coins. Many of them
buy up counterfeits cheap with the
hope Of exchanging them at Ellis Isl
and.
Then there are the coins of the
South American countries. They are
worse than those of the European
countries. Brazil, for instance, has a
scheme all its own. Certain notes
are good for ten years, after that
time for every year they lose 10 per
cent. of their face value until the
whole value is used up and they are
worth only the paper they are print
ed on
AS one man expressed it you have
to know the history of the world to
be a money changer. A peculiar part
of the business is the reshipment of
coins back to the countries whence
they came. Often during the lush
season ono firm sends back million
coins, while it is estimated th.t in
the course of year $4,000, 900 in for
eign money is reshipped to Europe
and million to the rest of the world.
Money changing is a business just
like any other. They do not exchange
money. They buy it. When you go
there to get foreign coins you buy
them from them at certain price
just as you buy eggs and cigars.

Railroad Firemen Scarce.

Why doesn't the able bodied young
man of mechanical bent turn more
often than he does to the fireman's
deck of the locomotive? This is a
question which at all times appeals
to the superintendent of motive pow
er of the great railroads of the coun-
try. and in a few weeks, when the
movement of the grain crops of the
country begins to test the capacity of
the roads and when locomotive engi-
neers are in a sharply increased de-
mand, the question becomes serious
to many lines.
Time was under the old rules of the
railroads when the work of firing an
engine for six or seven years of an
apprenticeship made the lot of the
fireman hard, dirty and exacting. To-
day, under the schooling system that
has been adopted almost universally
on the big systems, firing still is hard
work. but the term of apprenticeship
is cut from two to three years, the
'hostler's" work is eliminated for the
fireman, the shoyelling Of coal, while
increased in tonnage, is made easier
by the modern chute, shape 81 the
coal tender. and when the fireman.
after his four years experience,
reaches an income possibility OF 1925
to 5000 a month as engineer. the
roads have an income argument be
hind their question which is inescap
able.-The Chicago Tribune.

TO CURB cHAuFFEuRs.
Revoke Their Licenses, Says This
Writer.

A great many suggestions have
been made as to how the reckless
chauffeur is to be controlled, for, af
ter all, that is really the crux of all
friction. Filming men of this type has
proved of little effect, for so small a
fine as has been exacted is included
in the expense of the days fun. l
have been an advocate of imprison-
ment instead of fine for cases of wan.
ton recklessness, and | am still an adj
vocate of Imprisonment where the
culprit is either criminally reckless
or a repeated offender At the same
time | believe that the suggestion of
a revokable license, put forth by the
Automobile Clubs Committee of Pub
lie Safety, is, as a general PROPOSE
ton, the fairest all-round solution OF
the problem. A revokable license
law would work both ways. 1t would
safeguard the owner, whether he be
of the afraid-of-his-chauffeur type or
of that other which encourages reck-
less speed The practical working OF
such a plan would be to take his IL
cense from the arrested chauffeur,
which would deprive him of profess
sional standing-and employment
since it is to be supposed that no own
er would employ a chauffeur under
such conditions. 1t would also tempo
rarily deprive the owner of a driver;
sometimes this might work to the
owners discomfort, but most times it
would be probably a well-deserved
rebuke.-Outing.

The Republican leaders contend that
Congress or the courts may justly put
upon the Constitution a construction
which shall be considered as the Con-
stitution Itself, and are unwilling that
there should be any cneck to oppose
their designs. If they had their way
every construction put upon the Con-
stitution by Congress, or by corpora
tion-owned judges of the inferior Fed
eral courts, like Pritchard, would be
in effect a new Constitution. And thus
our supreme law would be tossed about
by every political breeze, until it final
Iy crystallized anew into a system Of
tyranny based upon arbitrary prac-
tees dictated by corrupt corporations.
President Roosevelt, who Is the leader
of the party favoring the alienation
of the Constitution by this foul method
now has Congress at his feet and has
appointed fifty-seven Federal judges,
who presumably adhere to his opinion.
If the people desire to preserve their
Constitution, they must very soon
change the administration of the gov
eminent They must change it, indeed,
at the next election.

A Change of Front.

1t has become the habit of all who
watch those two political weathercocks,
President Roosevelt and Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte, to construe their pub
lie utterances backward, just as
dreams are construed. In August, they
were clamoring for the conviction and
punishment of some 'malefactor of
great wealth." they were yearning to
behold some rich criminal behind
prison bars. The officers of the Chi
cago and Alton Railroad have con-
fessed in open court thar they had been
guilty of Relating. ard corroborated
their testimony by producing the rail-
road company's books IN which the
numerous criminal transactions were
recorded. Judge lands, before whom
this testimony was given, had called
a special grand jury to deal with these
''malefactors of great wealth." includ-
Ing z. H. Hartman The public shout
ed for joy But, alas. Mr.. Roosevelt
found case in which jury had failed
to convict a trust president; and it is
said that Hartman found some more
practical letters which the President
had written him concerning campaign
funds and his next message !" and,
again, the Presidents former Attorney
General had already promised immu-
atty to the officers Of the Chicago and
Alton road; and SO, finally, in consid-
GRAFTON of all these things, the Presi-
lent has retreated from his position.
Indeed, as usual, his loud talk was
meant to raise just enough dust to
cover his intended retreat.
Attorney General Bonaparte, in his
famous letter on the subject. which
was read by Judge Lands before dis
missing the prosecution against the
Alton officials, said ~The most per-
feet good faith requires the Govern
ment of the United States to accord
to the Chisago and Alton Railroad
Company The privileges granted an ac-
complete who becomes a witnes for the
prosecution" AS in the case Of the
Santa Fe road, immunity was granted
before the prosecution commenced.
Such has been the case in nearly every
instance. Why, then. all this loud talk?
And why commence prosecutions at all
where immunity is granted before
hand7 The whole business is pure
fudge. As 10 the President, it is now
said that he, after thinking over the
possible effect OF having Hartman
give out another letter or two coznpro-
missing himself as well as Hartman.
has decided not to harry the railroads
any more, ard has actually held back
his chief law officer from proceeding

with "a moral victory" But, in view
OF all the circumstances, the people are
likely TO call it an immoral victory. II

not fulfill his promise TO put maiefac-

Marriage After Death I'm China.

The strangest of all strange Chinese
customs is that OF marriage after
death. When a young person OF mar
riageable age dies minated the fond
parents give him or her n mate Sin
order not TO let their loved one lie all
alone In the cemetery"
The details of the marriage are usu-
ally arranged by a slant-eyed Schad-

settled q grave is dug alongside that
of the boy or young man to become a
groom. Then the casket Of the dead
bride Is removed from its resting place
and carried to that Of the groom with
great ceremony and with attendance
Of all relatives and friends. A band
is never missing. The more well-to-do
the father-in-law the more bands. At
the head of the procession a red flag
is carried lin order TO show the soul
Of the young girl the road"
The relatives await the bride at his
grave. There is 4 religious ceremony
when the second coffin arrives. Con-
gratulations. singing and musical ex-
ercises follow. These signify the wed
ding. When the brides coffin Is low

Low and High TariG.

Low and High Tariff.
The period of the most rapid devel-
opment which this country has ever
experienced was between 1880 and
1860, under the Walker tariff law.
That was low tariff period: but
within that decade the wealth of the
country increased from ST,135, $50, 22S,
in 1850, to $16,159, 7S0O6S in 1860. Not
single trust or monopoly was formed
during that period Not a single mill
ionaire or pauper was created by law.
Those who had got rich under previous
tariffs accelerated" the abolitionist
movement, however, and the country
went to pieces for Il time, as the result
of the "aeecleration" of the abolition
list movement by the industrial corpora
lions, which, with the war, found their
opportunity of increasing the govern
ment's expenditures, and thereby neces-
stating a return to excessive taxa
ton of the consumers. If the South
ern States had not opposed pro-
tective or monopollstic policy Of taxa
ton, there would have been no "accel-
GRAFTON" of the abolitionist party by
the tariff-fed aristocracy, which has
for many years past endeavored to en-
slave the workingmen of the white
race, as well as the black. by its adj
vocacy of government by injunction
administered by Federal judges. A
protective or monopolistic tariff means
hostility by manufacturers to agricul-
tural labor. That's all there is in 1t.
Farm labor In this country cannot be
protected by any sort of tariff, because
farm products, created by such labor,
are more abundant and therefore
cheaper here than abroad
1t is estimated that laborers in this
country create each year on an aver
age values exceeding $1,000 apiece.
How much Of this does the laborer
himself receive? We are told by sta
tisticians that on the average he gets
less than 5000 The trusts, therefore,
get the rest, amounting TO $1,400, on
the work of each laborer. One trust
magnate, John d. Rockefeller, gets
$21.50 every minute; $500 every
hour; $30,060 every day Who earns
it? There are many others in the same
class. We are told that there are in
this country more than $4,000 women,
who spend annually more than $4,000
apiece on dress alone, and that for the
accommodation of this class of women
hotels are being built in New York,
whose charges will range from $500 to
$1,000 a day for one person. No such
things happened under the Walker
tariff. No such things would be posi-

FLAT JEWELLERS WAYS.

Watering the Fire Escape Garden
-Pipe-Smoking Ehquete.
what / don't understand" said
Mrs. Flatdweller, to New York Sun
man, "is the way some folks water the
plants they keep on the fire escape.
Now, you see, we've got few plants
out Of your fire escape, and when l
water them take care always not to
food either the pots or the saucers.
There are people living under US, and
1t Is not impossible that they might
have out on their fire escape something
drying, or they might have plants there
that they don't want water to drip on.
If they have nothing there they don't
want water dripping down from above
anyway, because it would spatter from
the fire escape to the windows.
II have lived under people, nice peo-
pie, too, who seemed to forget entirely
that there was anybody living under
them, and who would simply pour
water on their plants and let 1t run
down in streams to spatter everywhere.
Don't you think It's queer about that?"
What gets me-" said Mr.. Flatdwell-
er, sis how man can sit at an open
window smoking a pipe and when he
gets through smoking knock the ashes
out of his pipe on the window sill.
There may be sparks In the pipe as
well as ashes, and both are liable to
be blown into open windows below. l
don't exactly see how men can be so
thoughtless as to do this, but some men
are. So, you see, women are not the only
thoughtless creatures. There are
thoughtless men Also
but / don't pour water down the
fire escapes" said Mrs. Flatdwelier,
land you don't knock ashes out of the
window"
True" said Mr.. F7atdweller, grow
Ing philosophical now, "but If we
should consult our neighbors and they
would tell us frankly, 1 dare say that
we should discover that we do. with
out thinking, things that they don't
like, just as they do some things that
don't strike US pleasantly. 1t is SO
much easier for US to see the faults OF
others than 1t is for US to realize our
own"
