DEMOCRATS THINK EDGE KNEW
OF TRICKERY IN UTILITIES ACT

Democratic legislative candidates.
Louis Langham and Frank Smathers,
have addressed a second letter to the
respective Republican aspirants, and they
hit one point of the line thus:
Mr.. Edge, was not the Republican
party pledged to give the Public Uutili-
ties Commission power to fix, determine,
regulate and enforce rates when the
publ; utilities act of 1910 was passed?
1t is true, Mr. Edge, that Governor Fort
called the attention of the Republican
majority to the fact, that the act as
prepared and passed by the last legisla-
ture was not in compliance with the
party pledge, and that it was useless
piece of legislation. Is it true that he
withheld his signature of approval from
the act, and for some considerable time
endeavored to have the legislature amend
the act SO as to empower the commits
sion with authority to fix, determine,
regulate and enforce ratesy As floor
leader of the Republican majority did
you not, Mr. Edge, oppose the measure
OF so empowering the commission? Did
you not argue then that the commission
should not regulate rates? If you did,
why now advocate the opposite? Did
not the people then need the same pro-
lection against corporate greed and rapa-
city that you admit is necessary and
needful today? Do you think the Pleas
antville trolley controversy over the in
creased rates would have ever arisen, if
the rate regulating clause had been in
serted in that act? Do you think the
people of Pleasantville would have taken
to Trenton their fight against the troll
ley company if they had known that the
Utilities Commission had no other or
further power in the premises than to
recommend" Why, Mr.. Edge, was the
commission only given the power of re-
commencing? Why that power? What
real good did you think the people would
derive by that one lonesome helpless
word! Why anything if not something
substantial and worth while?

FLAG Will REMAIN
County Capita Team Won Championship.
Rivals Are Poor Losers

The County Capital Base Ball Associa-
tion cf this place, by defeating every
rival team two out of three games, won
the County championship pennant this
year and Manager Sam Kirby says it is
here to stay The Association placed a
strong team afield and will have even a
stronger one next season.
1t is probable that the team next sea-
son will be semi professional and that
the Champs will make strong fight for
the South Jersey pennant. A second
team" will likely be organized to play
the County teams that are out of the
first teams class. The team this season
was largely an experiment and it's sue
cess was gatifying. 1t has disbanded for
the season but several of the players
have already been engaged for next year.
Informed that some of the disgruntled
Hammonton and Egg Harbor City play,
ers, who counted on winning the penant,
disputed the claims of the Association,
Asst Manager Stewart said: Let 'em
talk-that don't win games. We put Il
team afeld to win and we did. If they
know how to figure, let them reckon
the percentage and see where they stand
Their crouch is very unsportsmanlike.
We've won the championship fairly and
if they get it back they've got to put
better teams on the diamond than they
did this year Atlantic County Record.

STUCK FOR FOURTEEN HOURS
IN SWAMP MUD-A WOMAN

Fresh cranberries appealed to Mrs.
$. A. Swaby, of "a Third street, OH
Wednesday afternoon, and the bogs near
Doughty Mills were sought by the
woman. When the shades of night had
fallen thick and Mrs. Swaby was still
absent from home friends began to
worry and a searching party set out
for the cranberry fields. The rescuers
tramped through the mud of the swamps
all night and after the sun was high on
Thursday morning. At last they heard
faint cries of distress and they followed
the sounds until they came across Mrs.
Swaby half submerged in mud. This
was at 8 o'cslock-14 hours after she
began to sink into the black slime. Three
strong men, William Whitaker, Edward
Earle and John Sykes, tugged for dear
life before they landed Mrs. Swaby
on hard ground, and when they did the
woman was almost nude. The rescuers
are indignant at the inhabitants of the
section where Mrs. Swaby was found,
because of their unwillingness to furnish
her with stimulating cup of hot tea.
When the party arrived in Pleasantville
Mrs. Swaby was placed in the hands of
a physician.

LEAGUE WILL Use
STICKERS In WORK
Committee will Wait on Councilmen and
Protest Use Of Death Dealers

Attorney Chandler was expected at
the Citizens League meeting Thursday
night, but he failed to appear, and there
for the League remains in the dark as
to the doings of the Utilities Commits
sioners.
Superintendent McCausland, of the
Reading railroad has informed the league
that it is not practicable for his com
pany to run a later train than the 6.39
into Atlantic City, for if this should be
done the Reading would forfeit it's mail
and express business.
Messrs. Wilson, Watkins and Stephen
son were appointed committee to at
tend council meeting Monday night, to
enter a protest against the continued
use of the cowcatchers on Suburban
cars
A vigorous campaign will be waged to
divert freight traffic to the Reading road,
and in order to further this move 10000
flaming stickers will be printed, these to
be distributed to business men in Pleas
antville, Hammonton and Egg Harbor.
The stickers will call shippers attention
to the fact that the business men want
their goods shipped over the Reading
line. Cards and circulars will be also
printed for distribution in the three
towns, with the object of calling atten-
ton to the Readings low rate of fare.
between Pleasantville and Atlantic CITY
10 tickets for Zoe, and they will act
as testimonials of the Reading COM
pany's effort to relieve conditions impos-
ed by competing lines.

1T WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE
TALKING PICTURES OF THIS

Inventor Edison has produced NOV
ing picture machine that also talks. 1t
should be set up at the Shore Road West
Jersey crossing to catch talking pictures
of fourteen vehicles waiting for one OF
the snorting, shurting freight trains to
relieve the congestion. Sunday morn
ing freight crew had the time Of their
lives and the occupants of the fourteen
autos swore themselves blue in their
faces while that main crossing in this
town was blocked for seventeen minutes;
The time has passed when people should
say that this privilege OF train crews
ought to be stopped. 1t can be stopped,
but not in the way that we ask for grade
crossing protection. If one or two coun-
cilmen will see that a crew is fined $40
a head we shall be relieved OF future
blockades of more than five minutes
duration. 1t is quite unlikely that eX-
tended litigation will be the result OF an
imposition of fines on this account.

hope, and more than this, he is proud OF
the success of his effort to secure pur-
chasers who are as worthy of the sup
port and confidence of this entire section
of the country as the Whitman family.
Whitman K Sons will retain the entire
office force of the Press Printing Com
pany, thus assuring the clientele of the
house the same measure of care and at
in the past. Right here the retiring
management wishes to briefly note one
important fact-that without the sup
port, concentration and extreme loyalty
of every one of the following members of
rhe Press family the company might to-
day be crawling in the same clothes that
it was six years ago-in the days of ten
hours or more at a low rate of wages.
Here are the names of the men who have
contributed their energy toward the sue
cess of the Press Printing Company:
T. George Middleton, foreman.
George E. Taylor, Linotype operator.
Fred Pile, pressman.
John Barkof, pressman.
A. 0. Alexander, solicitor.
Other men have come and gone from
The office force, but the above names re-
present the ''old guard" For six years
rhe Press editor has aimed at the bulls
eye. Inaccuracy is one of the faults OF
the best of marksmen, and the fact that
today The Press has more weekly readers
than ever before in its history is indeed
Il measure of qualification and pride.
1t is recognized impossibility for
newspaper to please all the people all the
n 1 &f
ion as to the wisdom of a papers policy,
but emphasis is laid on one feature OF
The Press during the last six years, that
at no time has the guiding hand sought
personal aggrandizement, or aught but
TO rid Pleasantville Of the things that
have appeared inimical to the towns vel
fare.
If it were the privilege of the ex-editor
to remain in control of The Press every
honest effort in his power would be made
to purge the school rooms of this bor
ough of all devilishness and tiagrant-but
unfragrant, rascality. Never since the
attempt to do this was begun has The
Press sought single citizens approval.
The deteriorating influence was noted
and purely for the sake of the schools
the cudgel was wielded-and, we be-
lieve with success, but future happen
ings must prove or disprove the accuracy
of this declaration.
