A Granger in the Senate.

Some of the points made by George w !.
f Gaunt, State Master of The New Jersey
Grange, in his annual address to shat body
of organized farmers in convention at At
lantic City last week, have added interest
because of the fact that Mr.. Gaunt will be
member of she State Senate for the next
three years from Gloucester county. The
views that Mr.. Gaunt expressed so the
Grange will undoubtedly be repeated at
Trenton and will be discussed in other than
agricultural circles. The Senator-elect will
ing interests of the State more than any
other man who will sit in the Legislature
daring the coming session. He said in his
address that the Grange is becoming one Of
the most powerful influences in State legis-
lation, and is will lose none of that infiu-
ence by having the State Master in the
xpper branch of Legislature.
Mr. Gaunt is an enthusiastic ad vocate of
federal aid in the building of good roads.
He believes that the governments should be
az liberal in the matter of appropriating
mouey for improved highways as it is in
Improving waterways. He holds that the
farmers are already overburdened in pro-
viiing the cash for road building, and that
they are enlisted to relief Is is not hard
to believe that a Senator holding such
views on this matter will be found oppos-
ing any plan for the State Improvements OF
waterways unless the State will also en-
gage in the enterprise OF building good
roads without further burdening the farm
ars, and that he will be unlikely to give
support TO any ocean boulevard scheme un-
less it is TO be oomplemented with a plan
for other roads in the interior Of the State,
at State expense.
Mr.. Gaunt is particularly severe in his
address in criticlzing the continual tinker
ing with the game laws by the Leglsla-
sure. and he denounces the continuance OF
she existing County Boards Of Taxation.
he characterizes the constant changing Of
she fishing and hunting statutes as hard
ship to she farmers and pleasing only 20 a
comparatively few wealthy sportsmen. The
County Boards of Taxation are held by him
10 be useless except in the way Of furnish

A Board of Trade.

There is well-defned movement In
Woodbury. 60 establish Board of Trade.
The objects of such an organization are too
we'll known to require calculation by us.
Briefly, they are to promote she general
welfare of the community. There are many
ways OF accomplishing this: 1st, By taking
q broad interest in governmental affairs OF
SIC city; %, By inaugurating public dis
enssions of CITY affairs; Sd, By encouraging
personal and corporate enterprise; Alb. By
giving prominence to she city's advantages
as a place OF residence and for tne estab
lishment of business enterprises; 9th, To
counsel those charged with administration
OF city affairs, to the end that the public
policy of she city shall be famous for it's
wis om aud ar sigh iedne rather than for
Lack Of wisdom and hind -sightedness.
To be of any value on these lines the
Board OF Trade must be the biggist thing
in town. 1t must be broadly patriotic;
every act must be stamped by the broad
msrk Of sincerity and carry on its very
face the impress OF she public veal Such
an institution will have the support Of the
entire city and be power IN dressing
public affairs, aud in making known what
we all know, that Woodbury. is the best town
beneath the stars.
Specs; the day, and welcome she Board of
Trade
Going step farther, we want to encour-
age the various municipalities of the coun-
" to form similar bodies Every borough,
sud many Of the togaships, need she aid
Of ali she wisdom of the wissst of their peo-
pie in meeting the problems that arise al
most from the earth itself in these days;
and we are not sure that County Board
Of Trade would be amjss. We are sure the
Chosen Freeholders would hail the counsel
81 their constituents as real aid in solv-
ing problems of county economy.
The governmental problems of our coun-
~ aud its municipalities ara going to mul-
tiply at greater rate than eyer before.
The influx Of population is sure to increase
as facilities for quickly and surely reaching
PhiladeIphia are bettered, and if it is
widely known that Gloucester county and
ali the municipal governments within its
borders are wisely, literally, yet econom-
ieally governed people who desire to trust
their earthly goods to wise administrators
will come TO our borders to live and do
business.

RAPED ON HEAD
WITH BEER GLASS
Just a Little Trouble Follow
ing a Polish Christening
Ceremony

There were somo lively scenes enact

night in a Beach street house, and as
a result one man was hit i'm the head
with a beer glass when the flght was
transferred from the Beach street
house, where it started, 10 house in
Sycamore street. The wounded man
was Alexander DapensSi, who had to
have the attentions of a physician to
patch him up. The police arrested
John CherzusiIi on a charge of assault
and battery and the party was broken
up in disorder.

Alexander escorted one of the young
women to her home and was In thn
Sycamore street house when he was
asked to come out. When he did some

assailant. They took along Alexander's :
father. who showed them the house
where John Cherzuski lived. They
raped at the door and John came out
rather suddenly and Patrolman Walker
nabbed him. The father said he was
the man who assaulted Alexander.
A goodly number Of the guests that
were at the Christening appeared Is
witnesses in court, John bringing five
OF them. The court said that although
the assault was a serious one he was
going to be lenient with the prisoner
