Good Faith Essential.

It is the utmost Importance that
leaders in church affairs should ad'
here rigidly to a high moral standard
concerning the honesty and good faith
of their public acts. To advocate a
course of proceeding that is essentially
lawless in its attitude, to disregard or
binary standards of honor and cour'
tesy. to wink at shady financial meas
ures is a course which men of the
world may excuse in n another but
which they will not condone in Chris
tians. We ara glad that this is true
1t is a tonic for certain saints who
might otherwise be prone to "wabble'
that they are obliged to provide
things honest in the sight all mem
especially of @them that are without
Christian Advocate.

War Dickinson "sees no reason for
Withholding information sought by the
New Jersey delegat ton relative to the
contract between the government and
the Hudson County Water Company for
a Jersey water supply for the Staten
Island posts.
Mr.. Dickinson has previously refused
to discuss his departments efforts TO
break down, apparently without cause,
New jerseys conservation policy. Only
last week in a lengthy interview he
would only say that all he knew about
the matter was that he had asked the
department. of justice to get the needed
supply.
Mr.. Mccoy has arranged to meet
with the military affairs committee
Wednesday and discuss then whether
TO put the resolution through or simply
make the formal request for the de-
partment files. The New Jersey con-
gresham believes that the latter would
be the better course. as it would save
time that would be consumed in pass
ing the measure through the House.

This patrolman was paying his fare

done as precautionary measure. The

law on the matter and would soon settle
whether the policemen had to pay car
fare while on official business or not.
The city counseIs decision after his
investigation will decide the action Of
the patrolman. In the meantime the

Gerry, through Abner Kalisch, her coun-
sci, for the possession of her two boys,
Clarence A. and Thornton b., the first

years his junior.
Habeas corpus proceedings are the

where the children are, even if they are

The father of the children, Clarence
p, Rowe, became suddenly insane about
three years ago, and after having been
in a private institution for some time
was taken to the State Hospital for the
Insane at Morris Plains, where he is

Soon after the fathers Illness had

to board. Then it was found that the
woman in whose charge they were
could not keep them any longer, and
the relatives against whom the pro-

care for them.

has made efforts to get them without
going to court, but all information as
to their whereabouts and everything
else in connection with them was re-
