THE publisher of the Gloucester County
Democrat, being requested to publish the
names of the signers to an application for
q hotel license filed with the court, re-
fused to do SO, and together with other
coeent reasons presented the following:
"a publisher may just as readily lay
himself open to the charge of libel by
publishing the truth as by false represent
ations. Motive weighs heavily with courts
In such matters. If the motive of those
who instigated the publication could be
construed as holding men up to contempt
and ridicule In the community In which
they live. and the signers saw fit to so
construe 1t, the chances are the law would
uphold them in that view, just as 1t did

quent taxpayer, and omitted the names of
others. II provision for newspaper pub
LEGATION of signers of licenses was made in
the law then newspapers would be glad of
the opportunity to have their columns
chosen as the avenue through which
publicity would be made, but while the
law stands as 1t does proper degree of

dictate the opposite course"
When asked to publish the names of
license signers, the Post Telegram has been
constrained to refuse for the same reasons
that our contemporary presents. If pub

1t would be required by the Legislature.
or by the local licensing authority, and
there could be no discrimination. Let
our Prohibition friends demand such
official action.
In most cases the demand for publica-

upon the desire to hold the signers up to
public scorn, or at least to make 1t diff
cult for the saloon keeper to get signers.

The roatswaIn,s Judgment.

1t was somewhere in this wide, wide
world. just where has slipped my
mind, and they were about to buy beef
on hoof for the ships. So the officer
whose duty it is to make the purchase
took ashore with him the bo's'n, as
representing the crew, to look over the
animals and either object or not. They
approached the first animal.
"How will that doY' asked the off,
Ger.
The bo's'n cautiously approached the
beast, bent down and gingerly ran his
thumb and forefnger down first one
shank and then the other until the
whole four shanks had been examined.
Strengthening up he said:
Hell do all right, SIR"
The officer. fiabbergasted, cried:
But dash it all, you can't tell the
good points Of a bullock by the
shanksw
Perhaps not, sir, but they're the
only parts we ever gets, sir" was the
reply-Pall Mall Gazette.

Theatres.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
''The Girl Who Has Everything" one
of Clyde Fitch's latest and best comedies,
will be presented, this week, by the
Orpheum Players at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia. The play was
originally produced in Philadelphia by
Eleanor Robson, but it remained there
three DAYS only and was then taken to
New York, where it enjoyed prosperous
run. Its presentation by the Orpheum
company is therefore in the nature OF
new dramatic offering. ''The Girl Who
Has Everything" has the advantage over
some of Mr.. Fitch's comedies in that it is
more substantial in story and more bril-
liant in dialogue. One can believe the
story while it is happening, the characters
all seem real, the incidents are quite
plausible, the climaxes appear as the most
logical outcome of the conditions in the
play. Sylvia Lang, the heroine, is house
keeper for her dissolute and recently
widowed brother-in-law, Guy Weems, who
has driven his wife to death by his habits.
Only two DAYS before she dies she made a
second will, bequeathing her property to
Guy without reservation. On the advice
of Philip Warning, a young lawyer and an
ACQUAINTANCE of the late Mrs. Weems,
Sylvia decides to contest the second will
on the ground that it was obtained by
undue influence. These are the pr1nc1-
pals and their situation: Miss Barney will
play Sylvia Mr.. Ingersoll, "Waring,
and Mr. Cummins, the dissolute ''Weems.

The Engineers Bill.

County Auditor Peacock was somewhat
In doubt as to the course to pursue on the
bill of Earl Thompson, county engineer,
for blue prints, typewriting, etc. At the
meeting of the Board of Freeholders,
when this bill was under discussion, So
licitor Merritt thought 1t was not proper
to pay 1t, but the members paid no heed
to his ideas and ordered the bill paid.
Auditor Peacock then applied to the
Solicitor for written opinion on the sub
iect and received this answer:
June 10, 1909
To County Auditor Peacock:
Replying to yours of the 9Th, am of
the same opinion as when the Board of
Freeholders met on the I'd inst, with re-
gard to the bill of the county engineer,
but on reading rule, / find what l consider
leaves a different position, that is to say,
the rule says he shall approve all specifi-
cations, which leaves chance for insist
ing upon payment. / have also been of
the opinion always, that although the
Auditor by the act OF 1879 has certain
powers In auditing, adjusting and certify
ing them, etc., that when the Board Is to
pass upon matters the Auditor cannot re-
fuse to pay bills, except such as are upon
the statutes. My advice to you is to pay
the bill, as above stated. There seems to
be loophole In favor of the position
taken by the Board.
Yours truly.
CHARLES EVAN MERRITT.
Under this opinion Auditor Peacock has
decided that he will pay the bill. In the
above letter Mr.. Merritt says he ''is of the
same opinion" on the bill as he was when
the Board met. This means that he did
not think 1t proper to pay the bill, but
the rules leave loophole through
which the members may escape. Mr..
Merritt had, prior to the appointment of the
engineer, approved specifications. drawn
them and had any amount of typewriting
done, for which he did not receive one
cent extra compensation. The rule under
which Thompson was appointed provides
that he shall approve specifications, +" but
it does not say that he shall furnish them
to every fellow who wants to bid on job.
But, as the Solicitor says. this is loophole
In the rule which leaves a question
w uCbuCA RaJhCut c4Ou40 VIC WlbuuCiO
The loophole should be closed at once.
When the Board increased the committees
to five, and created purchasing COM
mittee" which, thus far, has not done any
thing but draw per diem for one or more
meetings, there was considerable criticism
all oyer the county. but this last act in
fattening the emoluments of the engineer
has caused more comment than any of
the other actions. The members of the
Board who voted to pay the bill in the
face of the opinion of the Solicitor will
possibly now try to show that they were
justified in thus deciding, but that does
not remove the fact that they treated with
contempt the opinion of their legal attor-
ney. 1t was time enough to vote
otherwise when the opinion was changed.
