Much local interest was attached
last week to the alleged bribery
cases in Kent County Court. The
evidence, as was supposed, was of
the very fimsiest sort. We are un-
utterably opposed to bribery and it
is a pity that substantial evidence
cannot be secured to bring about
conviction. Democrats and Repub-
licans alike should be under the ban
of the law and there should be no
respect to persons whether of high
or low degree. But such himsy evil
dence as was produced last week is
nothing short of ridiculous. 1t
all availed nothing and put the
county to a great expense without
even one conviction as the result of
the ong-drawn-out trials. How
ever, the effort to enforce the law
may have a beneficial effect on
future campaigns. Let US hope SC
and may the bribe-giver and the
bribe-taker suffer the full penalty
of the law.

What SMYRNA needs is "Fisf

What Smyrna needs is "Fish
Market This way of having the
"Four Corners" occupied with fish
wagons and the early and almost
continuous blowing of fish horns on
our streets is obsolete in all up-to-
date towns. If Council would pass
satisfactory ordinances and provide
a Fish Market somewhere near the
business centre of the town, it would
make a regular place for fish vend-
ing and give the first who come the
opportunity to get the pick. We
have long felt that some other place
than the "Four Corners" should be
provided for the stationing of fish
wagons.

language, taking the place OF all
other tongues, but rather an inter-
national language In which the
people OF different countries can
meet on aeommon ground in bust
ness communications and i%nterna-
tionaI conventions. It Is also useful
in travel.
The Perth Amboy society is any
Gus to receive new members. A

NOTED WOMAN
TO BE HEARD
Ensign Wilson of Salvation
Army on March &c.

This city is to be favored with
the Salvation Army, Sunday night,
March 26, at the First Presbyterian
church. Ensign Madelle Wilson, tn ,
daughter of the late DIR. Wilson. who
was connected with the Christian
Alliance, will be here.
Ensign Wilson is a brilliant wo-
man, highly gifted and very capti-
waiting as a speaker. She is a wo-
mar of culture and refinement, who
left life of ease to choose a lowlier
life among the poor and degraded OF
u large cities. She was trained
in the large training home school In
London. The Salvation Army trains
their officers to do this work. In the
training homes they are sent out
two by two. throughout the Stun
districts, visiting from door to door,
scrubbing the floors, washing peo-
pies clothes, taking care of the sick,
etc. 1t is a life of daily toll, and
self-sacrifice, with no earthly COM
~pensation except the fact that one
has done their duty. From an earth
ly standpoint there is absolutely no
gain In the self-denying life of a Sal
walton Army officer.
Many of these officers have left
comfort for discomfort; have ex-
changed plenty for poverty. Their
object is to seek the lost-to help
the fallen. You are invited to at
tend the services at the Presbyterian
church Sunday. The officer In
charge of the work at Perth Amboy
is Clara e. Dammes, lately from
White Plains.
