People Scored for Apathy

Those of us who have been in fav-
or of these things have been trying to
accomplish them, but it is impossible,
apparently, to pass these laws unless
the people take more interest in mat
teys relating to themselves. I am
now appealing to the people of
the State to aid in the enact
ment at this legislation and insist up
on it. if, they believe in it, that their
representatives shall support it. The
other remaining thing is the taxation
of franchises. The decision of the
Supreme Court a few days ago has
somewhat opened anew the problem
of railway taxation.
sThe average rate Of taxation in
this State, prior to the enormous in
creases Of yalpe upon private prop
erty by the county tax boards was
over 2 per cenS. probably 2.25. # a
rate Of 3 per cent. had been imposed

! ALCYON PARK NOTES.

Never before so early IN the morning
on Decoration Day were the crowds
so great at Alcyon Park as Monday
and the first arrivals came all the way
| from Camden in two big sightseeing
automobiles. They call themselves
the Lilac Sporting Club. Both young
men and ladies were dressed in white
with lilac trimmings, such as hat
bands, ties, belts and socks. Closely
| following them was the Colonial Club
with big wagons drawn by four horse
teams; then the Tuxedo Social and
Pansy Social, of Camden, all in gaily
decorated wagons. From Gloucester
came the Princeton Social and the
Glenola Club, the latter having the
most gaily decorated wagon of them
ALL
Many followers of Izak Walton were
at Alcyon Park early Decoration Day
and the fish took bait nicely. Samuel
Crowley caught a bass weighing over
six pounds. Three companies of boys
brigades from Phila. entertained the
many corners at Alcyon Park Decor
alton Day. There was sham battle
on the lake at eight o'clock in the
morning by Company 81. After the
sham battle, Company "a and Com
pany 10 played game of baseball
with the score is to in favor of
Company "a. In the afternoon sham
battle was fought across the lake in
the woods and open field between Co.
No. 10 and Co. No. "a. The battle
lasted over an hour. Co. No. 81 left
the park at five o'clock and walked to
Philadelphia A boat race between
the three companies was won by Com
pany No. "a. On Sunday, Company
No. "a attended the Pitman NJ. E.
Church in body and Company No.
81 held Sunday-school in the woods.

Although the morning crowd at AL
cyon Park on Decoration Day was
larger than any previous year, it was
no comparison to the great crowds
which began to arrive in the afternoon
after memorial services in the sur
rounding towns and villags The
Glassboro Citizens Band and the AL
cyon Park band, together with the
merry go-round organ, and the bugles
of the boys brigade, kept the woods
alive day and evening. All the amuse-
ments were running and were crowd
ed all day and in the evening, could
not accommodate the patrons. Quite
a number of young men and few
young ladies ventured in bathing on
Decoration Day and called to their
friends to come in, the waters fine, .
but as their teeth chartered between
every word, their friends would not
believe them
The manager of the Alcyon Park
basketball team, announces that the
game will be played hereafter on Tues
day evenings instead of Friday so as
not to interfere with the Pitman team
which plays at the Casino on Friday
night. The next game will be played
on June 9th with Pitman and as the
men are evenly matched, it will be
for blood. On June 10Th, the lockwood
team, champions of the East, will play
the Alcyon Park team.
The Citizens Military band, of Glass
boro rendered some very fine selec-
lions at Alcyon Park on Decoration
Day, playing principally war songs
and patriotic airs.
The plot sodded with grass in the
centre of Alcyon Park has very
pleasing effect, contrasting nicely
with the surroundings.

Governor Forts back bone seems to
be in the right place these days, and
the way he is kicking UP game is
surely enliyening. In all this Grim
ination and recrimination, it is clear
to the locker on that the Governor
sees the bosses are running the Re-
publican ship on the rocks and the
only hope of saving it is in throwing
the present pilot and crew overheard
and take on emergency men. We give
space this week 10 the Governors
speech to the New Idea Republicans,
with whom he has cast his and the
party's fortunes. There will be hot
times III the Republican camp the bal
ance of Governor Forts term, and he
will have need of all the fortitude and
wisdom and New Ideas that his new
friends can command.
