Former Senator Colby Toast
master at Notable Gathering
in East Orange.

The civic Inner given last night IN
DER the auspices Of the Woman's Club,
of Orange, in the clubhouse, in East
Orange, proved to be one of the most
notable gatherings ever held in the
oranges. The limitations of the struc-
ture restricted the attendance 10 about
sDe. Many ~club-wonen were disap-
pointed at failure to get places at the
banquet table.
Mrs. Albert W. Palmer, president of
the club, greeted the gueets. Former
Senator Everett Colby was toast
master. Other speakers were Governor
Woodrow Wilson, Rabbi Wise and
DR.. William IL. Allen, of the Bureau
of Municipal Research, in New York.
Governor Wilson referred TO the cleo
ton in Atlantic city. where he said
the gang is again in control. He said
it would do no good to appeal to the
"lethargic and %cowardly prosecutor of
the pleas and the Indifferent court to
correct what has happened. He urged
The Oranges to consolidate, and said IT
they desired to accomplish reform they
should not make the usual mistake Of
seeking to aid the people they hoped
to help by looking down on them.
,'Ciyic religion" Rabbi Wise de-
clared. means to lift UP the lamar
of spiritual patriotism.
1T is because we have divorced re-
ligion that there is confusion in poll
tics. Their can b. no civic religion
until W de- mine who are the real
emies of the republic. Enemies OF
the republic are not in a foreign land
but are reasonable foes within our
own border.
Political corruption he said, "can
be likened to 'oerculosis. 1t thrives
away from light and sunshine. In this
attractive community the problem of
congestion docs moi confront you now,
but tif not today 1t may tomorrow
Civic problems have to be met by
vision"
DR.. william H. Allen. of the Bureau
o. Municipal Research in New York,
who was the last speaker, gave a COM
lrehensive outline of the work that has
been carried on in New York through

suits to be derived through such an or
ganization in meeting civic problems.
