Killed by an Auto.


While walking along a road near Bor-
dentown Sunday night, an unknown man,
evidently farmland. was struck by an
automobile. and from the injuries received
must have died instantly.
One of his ribs was driven against his
heart, rupturing it; his liver was ruptured
and his back broken. He probably never
knew what struck him.
The auto which struck the man was
owned and driven by Morris R. H Levin.
of Beverly, and was occupied by Albert
R. Levin, J. G. Wilson, and Nancy r.
Cartwright. all of Beverly, and Mary
Hendrickson, of Brookville, Pa.
The machine was driven from Beverly
| by Morris Levin and he took his compan.
ions for ride near Trenton. The moon
was shining brightly and it was an ideal
night for motoring. The autoists had just
passed Bordentown about 8 o'clock, when
the stranger happened to be walking along
the road Despite the fact that 1t was
moonlight, Levin failed to see him.
The car was travelling at pretty good
rate of speed when suddenly Levin saw
the man a few yards ahead of him. He
tried to turn out of the way but the dis
| lance between the pedestrian was too
short, and one of the big lamps struck
| him in the back.
The stranger was thrown some distance.
The young women screamed, and Levin
stopped his car and ran to the mans side.
He believed that life still existed, and
with the assistance of his two male COM
panions, lifted the unfortunate man into
the tonneau.
Levin told the two young women to
board trolley car and go to Bordentown,
while he made record run to st. Francis
hospital, Trenton. When the machine ar
rived there the doctors said that the VIC
tim had been dead for several minutes.
Levin gave his name aud those of the
other occupants of the machine. to the
hospital authorities and also the number
of the car.
Levin was very much affected over the
death of the man and said that he was
very sorry. He also said that he would
never forget the accident. After leaving
the hospital Levin and his friends went to
the second district police station and gave
their names and addresses to the police in
case they were wanted. The accident
happened outside of Mercer county, and
the police there have no jurisdiction In
the matter.
The victim was about so years old,
feet, IL inches tall, and weighed about
1870 pounds. He had gray hair and gray
eyes. In his pockets were found a cake OF
soap, spool of cotton, penknife and q
pair of spectacles. The case bore the
name of Robert W. Burns. 1908 Federal
street, Philadelphia 1t was believed that
the man was employed on farm In that
section, and was probably on his way
home at the time of the accident.

Aquatic Notes.

Boating parties up the creek on Satur-
day were seen to return with several bas-
kets filed with choice fox grapes.
Going to smithville in canoe on Fri
day, Harry l. Cooper and William b.
Noblette caught three nice pike.
High mark was probably reached on
Sunday by csnoeists and other boating
parties who spent a portion of the day on
the upper creek seeking recreation and
pleasure,
An unusually large number of people en-
joyed bathing at the mill dam Saturday
afternoon. Eight canoes were moored at
the wheel house bridge at one time while
the owners joined the throng in taking a
dip.
Anglers have been somewhat handi-
capped so far this season In getting live
bait. Places seem to be almost abandon
ed now where minnows were plentiful
last year, and no where on the upper
creek have they been found In quantities
with hook and line, although experiments
have been made to find such places. This
has been quite a disappointment to
those in quest of pike and bass. which
has forced some anglers to troll more
than would otherwise be the case.
The pleasure of using motor boats on
the lower creek is to great extent de-
pendable upon the condition of the tide,
which takes from that stream the popu-
larity 1t might otherwise enjoy. 1t Is
only at certain times that the launches
can get down stream, and there must be
familiarity with the tide schedule IN or.
der to get back again. The trouble lies
with that portion of the creek running
through Mount Holly, which is being
filled up by those who dump refuse into
the stream contrary to an ordinance.

Goxernor STOKES Ren1ies


In the Burlington Enterprise last week
there was an editorial which lauded United
States Senator Briggs and attempted tc
show that former Governor Stokes was moi
entitled to recognition in his contest for the
office of United States Senator. Mr.. Stokes
naturally did not relish this attack and he
sent letter to the Enterprise, which we
publish 10 full. 1t follows:
Trenton, August 16, 1912.
The Editor, Burlington Enterprise,
Burlington, Neso Jersey.
Sir: My attention has been called to
one of your editorials on the United States
Senatorship In connection with Senator
Frank o. Briggs and myself Your right
to support Senator Briggs for reelection
is unquestioned and one in which have
no interest.
The rest of your article, however, par.
takes 80 much of the autocratic spirit that
has been the undoing of our party that !
cannot let it pass without protest.
very earnestly supported Roosevelt,
as your editorial states, in the primary
contest. and for that action l want tc
assure you / express no regret and shall
make no atonement.
If you and others had followed my
course the Republican party today would
have been on the road to certain victory
and would not have been struggling fol
its very existence.
Your suggestion that in supporting
Roosevelt was giving aid and comfort to
the avowed enemies of the Republican
party, is a remarkable assumption when
confronted with the fact that the Republi-
can primaries in this state were so over
whelmingly favorable to Roosevelt that
every delegate to the National Convention
from New Jersey was elected in the
interests of his candidacy.
1t is further to be remembered that
throughout the country Mr.. Roosevelt's
supporters were so largely in the majority
that they carried Republican states sufi-
cient to give two hundred and thirty-three
out of two hundred and sixty-seven
electoral votes necessary to majority in
the electoral college. and that the opposi-
tion to him was successful only through
the delegations of the Democratic states

MUCH newspaper space has been DEVOTED
lately, to the State Board of Education,
and criticism has been melted out on vari-
GUS acts of that body, which In some cases
appears to be justified. The trend of the
Board appears to make matters more
complex than to simplify them. One gen.
tleman down Jersey has launched forth
In criticism In which he describes the
State Board as the biggest political ring
In existence. We would not like to say
that, but there is no doubt that methods
have been devised and put into execution
that do not make the work of local
Boards any easier. and 1t is hard to see
where any beneficial change has resulted.
One OF the systems put into operation was
an extensive report of the financial and
other conditions of school districts This
elaborate affair took many hours of care
full study to digest and get In proper
shape, and then when done was far from
satisfactory to the ordinary district clerk
There is story that one clerk, not know
ing how to place the different items, took
trip to Trenton and went to headquarters
to get information. He was told that the
man who devised the system was no long
er employed by the state. that the only
person familiar with 1t was on vacation,
so he had to go home as ignorant as he
was before he started. And within the
past week district clerks all over the state
have been supplied with books on which
to draw orders for the payment of money,
the keeping of which is in the nature of
complicated book keeping. The system
In vogue with many district clerks was
sufficiently comprehensive except to those
who prefer something elaborate and seem
to want to make work for somebody, DOS.
sibly the fellow who designs the system
and the printer who gets the new book
out. As an instance of how nonsensical
the new method is we may give this Illus.
tration. The instructions-and there is
need for full printed page of them-tell
the official to insert all moneys apportion-
ed. In the past 1t has been the custom to
enter receipts only as they have been
handed In. There are now in the hands
Of the state authorities railroad moneys
that will not be handed over for some time
and possibly not at all. Under the new
system we must charge ourselves with
such items and carry fictitious balances,
with the possibility of being compelled to
wipe out deficiency at the end of the
year. The new books may suit the parties
who originated them, but they will not
meet with approval from those who have
to use them, and we can show at least one
set of books less complicated and of more
practical use than the elaborate system
adopted by the State Board of Educa tion

ship of Bordentown since 1902, in which
year the tax rate was SI.e5 ON valuation
of 1890 per cent. of value, to the present

year. The township in 1902 had debt
of 1900, no money to pay immediate
bills, very poor roads, and no system of
keeping them in repair. At that time the
township received no revenue whatever
from its highways. The present year the
