to labor for enlargement of the fund
for the carrying on of the church
work. Our friends of the NJ. p.

standpoint was a success, the social
feature being the bringing together
of members from almost every de-
nomination in the city, thus engen-
dering a ~fraternal feeling irrespec-
tive of creed.
The financial part also vas a sue

seventy dollars. The occasion was
made attractive and gave zest to the

SPECULATION ABOUT THE
SOUTH AMB0Y TAX BILLS

South Amboy, Sept 13-Considar-
BILE speculation is being INDUCED in
by some of our citizens as to whether
or not the tax bills will be distrib-

have them distributed until after
election. We are rather of the opin-
ion that as some speculation has
been started it would be advisable
to have the tax bills gotten III as
promptly as possible.

Revere Beach, Mass, Aug. IL
Honesty in nominations and elections
and social and Industrial justice was
the text of a speech delivered here
today by Theodore Roosevelt.
He also contrasted his attitude to-
ward the progressive platform with
that of Wilson toward the democratic
platform as expressed in the latter's
speech of acceptance.
Whereas Wilson, he said, stated
that the platform is not a program"
Roosevelt declared that the progress
sives treated the platform as pro-
gram and contract which we shall
scrupulously fulfill, if the people give
us the power"
I'VE set forth definitely what we
mean to try to secure at the present
time in the way of social and indus
trial justice, for instance, to obtain
one days rest in seven for all wage
workers, an S-hour day in a contin-

ing men, a workmen's compensation
act, the securing of better conditions
of life and labor of working men and
women and the prevention of occupa-
4 tional disease and the fixing of oc-
cupational health standards"
I'VE purpose to secure these in
stallments of social and industrial
/ justice by action both in the nation
and the several states. We do not
intend to let our public servants, our
representatives, decide for us wheth-
er or not we can have laws necessary
to give Justice to those who need it;
We propose to settle the matter for
ourselves. We do not intend to let
either the executive or legislative Of
ficers forbid us to have such laws;
and, my friends, neither do We in
tend to let the judges forbid us to
have such laws"
