South Jersey Siftings

The Repp Brothers, OF Glassboro,
known as the orchard kings OF South Jer.
sey, are buying up all the bees possible
and are placing them in their orchards.
Fires swept over thousands of acres Of
woodland east OF Franklinville and Nal

The big Stockton Hotel, at Cape May,
built in 1869, is to be torn down. 1t has

Facts Favoring Reciprocity.

From The New York World, May 6.
The hearings devised by the Senate
Committee on Finance i'll opposition to
Canadian reciprocity are likely to fail OF
their purpose because of the absence of
an excited populace. The only hope of
a large attendance Of farmers depends
upon the uncertain arrival of an agrl-
cultural excursion whose whereabouts is
not exactly known. If the Gloucester
fishermen hang back, the Lumber Trust
will have to make the principal protest.
Fearing that certain facts bearing on
fish will not appear at this inquiry, we
should like to state that the New Eng
land fleet reached its highest tonnage and
prosperity under the old treaty of reel
procity (IS55-1666) and that its decline
began soon after the agreement ended
Moreover, the bounties which we had
paid for more than 40 years were
wholly withdrawn in 1858. In 1862
when agitation for the abrogation OF
the treaty began, the Northern fisheries
had a tonnage Of 193,459. The decline
under the stimulating influence OF a
%pampering tax upon Canadian fish has
been steady, until now the tonnage is
about $4,000.
Perhaps the Gloucester marines are
so well satisfied with the praspect OF
free fish that they have started out in
friendly rivaly 10 see who shall have

Kansas Has A Sunday Law.

There will be no Sunday the
atrical performances in any town Ill
Kansas if the order of John S. Dawson,
encouragement, is obeyed. The at
torney general t%elegraphed the order
to the sheriffs of several counties de-
claring that all Sunday performances
are in violation of the Sunday Labor
law. He instructed the sheriffs to
notify all the theatrical managers
that they will be arrested if they refuse
to obey the order.
The order includes moving picture
shows, vaudeville houses and legitimate
performances.
Why should not the managers, actors,
performers of theatrical shows. also
every one else who labols have a days
rest on the Sabbath? Kansas has an
encouragement with more than ordl-
nary moral vim.

FRIEND ~SUMMERILI:
On receiving your valuable home paper,
1 see you are not without a cold April.
1t has been general all over the country
Sunday morning, April 30th, when we
awoke fully three inches OF snow was on
the ground. 1t was nice looking stuff for
apple blossoms and peach trees as they
are all white with blossoms. When the
sun rose the snow all left except on the
great range and peaks where it never
leaves. l don't see that it has affected
the fruit any, as this is a different air
from that Of the damp east. The farmers
can't estimate how many millions OF
dollars will be put into their pockets by
alfalfa and wheat. 1t is general all over
the plains and foothills, all through
Arizona, the Dakotas. and Montana.
There has been no rain since last sum-
mer until this snow and rain combined
came.
Denver is to get her new railroad de-
pot. All the transcontinental heads met
in Denver last Wednesday and reached
an agreement, which will give them the
much needed depot. 1t will cost the
seven companies several million dollars to
put the structure OF the ground.
In all the vast area in the western
world there appears to be no room. |
look at the little old frame house at 1928
Market street standing close to Cherry
creek, which was built in 1859 by John
Travilla, who was agent for Major Cakes.
Cakes who had the first saw mill built in
the wild country. The house was plas-
tered by w. w. Hull a year later. As
there was no lime in those days, DIR.
Castro burned some at Golden and haul
ed it down to Denver in OK teams.
There were no persons but Indians and
cowboys. LII a few years a mighty city
reared on the plains. So it is with all
the cities west of the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers, from Oklahoma to the
Pacific coast.
On the morning of April rs, there was
a train composed of sixty box cars passed
over the Union Pacific for San Francisco.
1t was loaded with carpets from a firm in
Yonkers, New York. The train load was
valued at over one million dollars. So
you can see what is going on across the
continent. No more stage coaches nor
poney express lines. The great steel
monsters and palace coaches now roam
the world for comfort and elegance.
/ shall leave Denver Sunday evening,
May Z, for the middle west and south,
by the Chicago and Burlington system.
1 will stop first at Kansas city, on my
way to Holden, Missouri, st. Joseph, and
st. Louis, then III down the Mississippi
as far as New Orleans. From there /
shall return to Denver.
If l think l can stand it, l will make a
northwestern trip through Wyoming,
Montana, Yellowstone, National Park to
Seattle, and Portland, Oregon.
If live and have my health, I will
then return to Penn's Grove about De.
cember, and take another look at my
friends. Your friend,

A Brutal Murder

Away back behind the nineteenth CEN
fury a brutal murder was committed near
Waste House run, near Mahoney City, in
~schuylkill county.
The victim of this crime was John Eel
haber, a German peddler. The man was
tomahawked and his possessions taken by
his murderer. Inasmuch as they were
all in copper, they amounted to not more
than $25.
The mystery was solved with the arrest
and conviction of Benjamin Bailey, a
young stranger, who had seen the peddler
at a country inn and surmised that he
carried large sums of money.
One article on some great crime in
Pennsylvania history is printed in each
issue of the Sunday North American. All
of these articles are more than interesting,
and the collection will form a volume of
the states criminal history, x

An Alaska Coal Party

Boston had a 'sTea Party" at the
beginning of the Revolutionary wal.
Alaska had a "Coal Party'' last week
when British coal was shoveled into the
sea as a protest against the law OF adj
ministration of the. law for ''conser-
v%atiOn.n
The earth was made for mans abode
and all the products of the soil as well
as mines were made for his use. The
United States has no coal on the Pacific
coast. but there is an abundance OF the
best coal in Alaska. But Roosevelt's
conservation policy conceived by Gift
ford Pinchot is prohibiting the use OF
this coal, consequently the people in
Alaska have to buy coal in British
Columbia.
Before this country was free from
| England, the manufacture of iron into
| horse shoes and nails was prohibited,
| besides other nature products and in
| dustries were hindered to force tribute
| to English industry and commerce.
Alaska's great should be
| developed. If the G~uggenheims wish
to do it all good, providing the govern
ment gets a fair value or royalty on the
property they use. But to prohibit the
use altogether because of some fad idea
| of conservation cranks is n~onsensical.
1t may be wise to conserve in some
lines, for the government to prohibit
the exploiting such as has been done in
the west in the past fifty years, wherein
m~iIlionaires were made at the expense
of all the people; yet conservation
should not be total prohibition as in the
case of prohibiting the use of Alaska
coal.
Discoveries and inventions are being
made so rapidly and wonderfully
that there is a quandary what to
conserve. Suppose u grandfathers
conserved the forests, as some wonder
ed what people would do when all the
frewood was gone. Coal succeeded
frewood. Coal oil and electricity has
s%upplanted coal and wood. AS flowing
streams, rising and falling tides and
great magnifying glasses became in use
to produce energy, light andheat which
can be transmitted hundreds of miles
by copper wire wood, coal and coal oil
will be less needed.
Alaska's coal was made for the USE
of mankind. Dormant in the eartl
t is worth nothing. Great wealth vii
be created by its use. 1t should bt
used but the government should receive
a fair share for the use OIL purchase OF it
The people of Alaska threw tin
British coal into the sea to draw TIL
attention of the people to the folly O
prohibiting the use Of Alaska coal. l
was a protest against unjust government
interference like that shown by throw
ling the tea into Boston Harbor in 1775

The Corrupt Practices Act.

The law to stop bribery and influence
at elections provides that the aged and
infrm voters may be conveyed to poll
ing places in ~conveyances provided by
the Board of Freeholders, at the county's
expense, on application to the county
judge, made fourteen days before the
primary or election. 1t prohibits or
CARNATIONS like the Patrolmen's Benev-
client Association from contributing to
campaign funds.
The other features of the law are
that it prohibits a candidate from
spending a cent save through a duly
authorized treasurer Oh agent. The
candidate cannot even indulge in the
usual barroom campaign, as IL will be
unlawful for him TO treat a voter OF
in any other way to spend his money
save through his agent, to whom all
contributions must go, and who must
attend to campaign expenses.
No corporation is. allowed to con-
tlibute anything toward a campaign.
Itemized statements of receipts II
expenses; sworn to, must be issued.
The amounts which candidates may
personally contribute toward their cam.
paign fund is limited.
A defeated candidate or twenty-five
citizens may contest any election, and
if there is proof that this act has been
violated the office is forfeited and de.
clared vacant.
When this bill was put ON third
reading, Senator Gebhardt, Democrat,
of Hunterdon, said: 81 congratulate
the Senate on the fact that such a bill
as this is about to he enacted. | have
labored toward this end for years. A
bill of this kind is a great step in ad.
vance. 1t will do much to cid per-
nicious, sneaking methods and to pur-
lily elections. 1t will prove a fine
companion for the Geran act"
Senator Frelinghuysen, Republican
of Somerset, said: 81 think that every
man in public life will welcome this
legislation. They are sick of the de-
bauchery that has characterized so
many elections. They are disguised
with the parasites who annoy men in
public life-especially candidates. Let
us weed out these parasites. Let us
all try to enforce this new law to the
letter and do all in our power to make
it a success"
Senator Gebhardt said he hoped the
citizens would form associations with
the object of enforcing this corrupt
practices act and looking out for viola
lions.
"The corrupt practices act" says
Senator johnson, of Bergen, lis even
a better bill than the Geran act. 1t is
one of the best pieces of legislation ever
adopted in any part of this country"
