Mighty Lonesome

1t must be mighty lonesome for the good
who persists in staying in the liquor camp If he only
knew it, the liquor do not want him there, except
they hope that his presence may give their nefarious
business show of responsibility. In fact, they
always afraid that he will the of his ways
and kick up rumpus. The good men who continue
be fooled by the Establishments, the tinse and the
misrepresentation of the booze crowd getting few
every year knowledge and goodness increase
Every man who loves the church, his country and his
home should heed the call to "come out from among
them and be we separate"

Because 1t Is Right

1t is gratifying to note that, more than ever be-
fore in the history of the world people set
ting questions the moral issue and appealing to
the moral standard. Selfish interest still determines
some men, but they in the minority. The old rea-
for passing this law that for voting for this
man or that; for determining policy because OF
this or that do not weigh much any longer. With
most men who are worthy to be called men, the stand
ard of conduct is this: Is it right? More than ever
before realize that there eternal verities that
the Almighty takes of the smallest Details that
sin is sin matter how we'll covered with veneer.
In the fight against the liquor business are
taking the side of right they did before The
old arguments of license regulation tax and keeping
the saloon out of politics do not longer appeal except
to the very foolish and the hide-bound The ntelli-
gent right thinking man knows that these arguments
are but the sophstry of the liquor ande refuses
be fooled by them.

liquor dealers against laws, convictions and

secretary of the interior in the time through the

Of these 10000 convictions, pleas of guilty, and
cases compromised in year against liquor dealers,
large proportion against licensed liquor men.
Add to this the state, county, and municipal ma
chinery in motion to compel those engaged in the
traffic to respect law and the action of the law and
order leagues, the civic leagues and other bodies and
faint conception is had of the universal lawessness
of those engaged in the liquor business.

Help From the Average Man

One of the hopeful signs of the progress of civic
righteousness and temperance in America is to be
found in the attitude of the average mantle member
of the great third socalled dsnterested party in
this country Naturally of course, the ministry and
most of the laymen of the church favor the abolition
of saloons and total abstinence from drinking Again,
naturally those who financially or politically
interested in the liquor business are firm in their de-
termination to it continue in it's work. Between
these two classes is third Glass; men who do not
regard themselves as being either side, but wLo
coming, and more to align themselves with
the right.
The average man is lover of sobriety, upright
ness clean politics, justice and morality He may not
have taken decided stand for temperance propaganda
ISM and he will tell you that he has no use for a
crank. Perhaps even, he may, now and then, take
drink although the number of occasional drinkers in
this great third class is steadily decreasing But he
has the effect of saloon domination he has wit
messed the wrecking of brilliant lves he has been
able to overlook the damage which the liquor business
has wrought Heretofore he has not classed himself
dry, because in his mind, to do so meant to take
a more decided step than he had contemplated.
But now the Anti-Saoon League has made it posi-
BILE for such men and every man to vote out the
looms around them; to pick decent candidates for Of
fee; to record their judgment the side of civic
righteousness.
In every contest against the saloons it will be
this great third class votes right, and every temper
possible

Favorable reporting of the Kenyon bill by the judi

mistakable sign of the progress of reform. When
remembers that in recent years it hard for
the temperance forces to get hearing in state leg

disappointments, is led to exclaim, "What hath
God wrought" Liquor have been loudly clam
orng that the question shall be taken out of politics.
and the liquor press has proclaimed the decadence of
prohibition But now in the highest Legislature of the
land, there is to be voted bill which prohibits the
setting at naught of prohibition legislation. Truly

MEETING HELD
Criticise Council fer Delay
on Convery Place.

An indignation meeting was held
by the Citizens Alliance, composed
of property owners and residents of
the western section of the city, in
the Casino in Amboy avenue, last
night, at which the members pro-
tested ~vehemently against the delay
in the extension of Conyery Place.
Many men spoke and the city faith
ers were referred to in no mild way
at times. They were blamed in al
most every instance for the delay in
the proposed improvement.
The organization decided more
drastic measures should be adopted
to bring the Pardee interests to
terms with relation to securing
property for extending Convery
Place. A committee of five was ac-
cordingly named to devise ways and
means for fastening the improve
ment along other lines than those
now pursued. The committee is
composed of Adolph Koyen, chair
man; Martin Momberg, MAIDS J..
Dinesen, Rasmus Hansen and Chris.
Andersen. They will meet the al
dermen and secure data on the pro-
ject and then proceed to hasten the
improvement along new lines.

BRUNSWICK
BOOST VALUES
ONE MILLION

New Brunswick, Sept. 11:-A pre-
liminary figuring Of the city tax rate
by the County Board of Taxation
yesterday showed that the city tax
rate, based upon the present valua-
tons as made by the city tax assess
ors, would be SAL, which Is eleven
points higher than can be made I'm
der the state law. The rate will have
that $1,000, 900 must be added to
the valuations of the c-ty.
City Attorney Tindell met with the
board yesterday and City Treasurer
Florance with the board yesterday
afternoon. The demands by the
city, county and the schools are all
higher this year. The city has spent
money for improvements and there
is only one way to pay for them-by
taxation.
The raising of valuations will not
raise the taxes to be paid, but it will
reduce the tax rate to the limit per-
mitted by law.
New Brunswick is not the only
municipality in the county that will
have the same experience.
The total valuations in this city
this year amount to about $13,200,-
600, an Increase of s675,000 over
last year This is $4,000 900 below
Perth Amboy.
The s675,0O0 increase here this
year is principally placed under the
clty's industries.
The indications are that when the
tax rate Is finally made up, it will be
about $3.50. The rate last year was
1920.

KEEP LIQUOR
MEN OFF THE
EXCISE BOARD
fF.o,a the NEWS Correspondent

FSon1 the NE VS. CoTTeSpO"oe"
Trenton, Sept. 11:-The temperance
people of the state are preparing TO
make a fight before the next legislators
against permitting liquor dealers TO
serve on excise boards. In Elizabeth
Hoboken and several other cities IN the
state there are one or more saloon Keep
ers or brewers on the excise boards.
In Hoboken the Democrats are prepar-
ing toadd two more s~aloonkeepers to
the two already on the board. This has
directed attention to the situation
throughout the state and has led to d
demand upon the part Of the part OF the
anti-saloon people that the practice be
prohibited by law. The temperance ad-
voeates argue that no man who has any
interest in railroads may serve on the
state board of assessors, which values
railroad property, and in the same man
ner. no man directly interested in the
liquor. licenses, with the temptation be-
fore them of conducting the liquor af-
fairs of the municipality to their W
advantage. 1t is likely that an amend
ment to the Bishops law will be sought
meeting the proposition.

KRUGER TELLS
WHY He FAILED

Through mismanagement of his
affairs, provoked by generous mo-
tives and in answer to the plead
ings of boyhood friends, Peter Kroe-
ger, a grocer of 2S9 Smith street, has
been forced to file a voluntary petit
ton in bankruptcy with the United
States District Court, at Trenton, as
stated yesterday in the EVENING
NEWS. He schedules his liabilities
at $11,303, and his assets of real
estate, stock and life insurance poll
cies at $12,472. He went ''to the
wall" in the expression of the street,
because he carried huge store bills
run up by friends who promised to
pay, but never did, which is his ex-
PLANTATION of the situation. He car
ried debts on his book to the total
of over $1,000.
Mr.. Kroeger will continue with his
father, however, in the butcher
shop adjoining the grocery store just
closed. The fathers financial condi-
ton has not been weakened by the
voluntary action of his son, who con-
Quoted the grocery business sepa-
rate from the family's meat market
interests,
Mr.. Kroeger will devote a portion
ter in an effort to have the state leg
islature pass a law which will make
it possible for a merchant to collect
a store bill by attaching the debtors
salary.

OF CHILD
ARE BEING SOUGHT

The local police are aiding the au-
thorities of thi sand Somerset coun-
ties in an endeavor to discover the
parents of a baby found alive under
a manger in a barn near Plainfeld
Monday. The fact that a garment
on the child bore a label with the
word Reynolds" on it led the de-
tectives working on the case to be-
lieve that it had been purchased at
Reynolds Brothers dry goods store
and might lead to the discovery of
the parents in this city or vicinity.
Chief of Police Burke has been
informed the garment was probably
not purchased in the store in cues
ton. If it was it will not be known
until the return of one of the sales
women who is on a vacation from
the store.

u. s. TROOPS
LEAD MEX|CANS
Escort American Soldiers
Across American Territory.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Twelve hun
bred Mexican troops will be sent
through United States territory into
northern Sonora. Arrangements have
been completed by the state depart
ment.
The federal troops are to be entrain-
ed at Ell Paso to be transported west
ward into Arizona along the line of the
Southern Pacific. The point at which
they will be detrained Is being kept a
secret, but 1t undoubtedly will be either
Naco or Douglass, from both Of which
points 1t Is possible to proceed by rail
into Sonora, where the rebels are now
most active. The Mexican troops win
be accompanied by United States army
officers as escorts.
The prevailing theory here among
students of the situation is the rebels
IRE planning to march south along the
mountain range from northern Sonora
and continue to the state Of Durango
or Zacatecas and there unite with the
forces loosely organized under the lead
ership of Zapata.
Rebels Seek Supplies.
The rebel depredations on the Ameri-
can side of the line, 1t is said, have
been solely for the purpose of accumu
lating supplies of horses and munitions
Of war needed along the line of march
contemplated.
At the state department 1t was de-
olo rod that tho hoxtpon ooror>, ,opt f.
e1ertfng itself to the limit Of its ability
to get troops Into the threatened re-
gtons in Sonora and to give protection
to American interests. Confidence was
expressed by officials that the Madero
government would continue active In
Its attempt to restore order.
A federal victory at Otinaga. opposite
Preside, Tex, was reported to the war
department by Captain Adams, sta
toned at Preside. The federals re-
pulsed the rebel attacking force with
the loss of only four killed. During
American side Of the line was hit on
the thigh by a stray bullet, but not Sc
riously injured. After the engagement
General Salazar, with about $50 men,
moved westward. The United States
force near by will parallel Saiazar's
march as long as he remains lear the
border.
A private telegram received here
from Sanchez Ancona, private secre-
tary to President Madero, was as fol
lows:
The agitation in the United States
seems to be very strange, inasmuch as,
according to all who know the facts,
the situation has improved politically
rs well Is in a military sense"
