EXTRAVACANCE
CHARGE MADE
Geo. GoIdbsrger HurIs
Criticism at Democrats

Leo Goldberger, a local lawyer,
took occasion at a melting of the
Young Mems Republican Club last
night to hurl more criticism at the
present city government, whom he
charged with "extravagance." This
is the second time Mr.. Goldberger
has taken a shot" at the Democrats
during the present campaign.
Mr.. Goldberger stated that the
twenty-five point raise in the local
tax rate was due to extravaganza in
the city's affairs. He roasted" the
local government for paying $500 to
an assistant city attorney, when he
contended the city attorney is re-
ceiving a like amount but accom-
plishing no work. 1--WE have three
of them now" Mr.. Goldberger re-
marked. He inquired if anyone has
seen the city financial statements
printed within the last six months,
and, If not, why not? No one offered
to assist him to find the solution.
Mr.. Goldberger declared that two or
three will probably appear in the To-
cal newspapers on November s, and
for a few consecutive days thereaf-

RISKS LIFE TO
RUNAWAY
Team Nearly Goes Down the
Market Street Hill

At the risk of his life Arthur
Seger, Of Gordon street, stopped a
runaway team belonging to Halpern
| & Son, of 348 High street, early last
night. AS the horses, attached to a
heavy truck, a westward in Cor
don street at High street about Z
o'clock young Seger grabbed them
by the bride and was dragged sew
eral feet. He was not injured. The
junior member of the Halpern firm
claimed the rig after Seger had
brought 1t to police headquarters.
The horses walked away from the
southwesterly corner Of Smith and
Hobart streets. On Market street
they became frightened and began
to run at a mad pace toward the
waterfront. At Water street the
animals narrowly escaped plunging
down a steep hill into the waters Of
Raritan bay. AS by a miraculous
swing the horses turned into Water
street safely. On their way up Cor
don street several persons made
vain attempts to stop them. Young
Seger took a desperate chance, ran
and brought them to a halt.

the foregoing subject. This lecture
has been given in many of the prin-
cipal cities of the United States and
Canada, and always proves to be in
teresting to the hearers.
The object Of this association is
to stimulate Bible study by assisting
Christians Of all denominations to
a better and deeper understanding
Of the Word Of God. The claim is
made that If people could only see
the reasonableness Of Bible teach
ings, such doctrines as Evolution,
Higher Criticism, Christian Science,
Theosophy, ETC., would find no advo-
Gates. 1t Is also claimed that many
honest skeptics and infidels would
be reclaimed, for that which they
have found fault with Is not in the
Bible, as they had supposed, but in
stead, some false theories advanced
by man, and termed in the Scrip
lures, Doctrines of Devils"
There Is no who can fail to
be-interested in the subject matter
of this lecture, as it deals with the
condition of those who have gone
before, and Mr.. Wakefield says that
he will present the Scriptural teach
ing on death from a different stand
point than is usually set forth, thus
encouraging thinking Christians to
a more careful and reverent study
Of Gods Word.
The lecturer, unlike most plat
form speakers, declines collections,
charges of admission fee or salary.
All interested In the question as to
what becomes of the vast multitudes
of human beings dying at the rate
of ninety thousand daily, will do
we'll to hear this lecture.

LIQUOR men
WANT CHANGE
Favor Law Limiting Saloon
for Every 500 Inhabitants.

Paterson, Oct. 11.-With a view
Of putting into practical effect the
radical reformation of the liquor
business urged by President John
Weickert at the annual convention
of the State Liquor Dealers Protec-
tive League Wednesday, a commit
tee was named to draft the necessary
laws for presentation to the coming
Legislature.
AS told, the proposed changes in
clude a State Excise Board, the limit
ing of the number Of saloons to one
to every 500 population, and the
Strengthening out of conflicting laws,
The dealers want a new set OF laws
which, as they put it, shall embrace
the best features of the old with
enough new statutes to elevate the
business in such a manner that 1t
will be satisfactory to the members
of the craft and the general public.
In his speech of welcome, Mayor
Mcbride, who is a physician, urged
that his hearers see hat only good
liquors were kept by members Of the
craft, and not the poisonous com
pounds which destroy health and aid
in brisk business for insane hospitals
and sanitariums.
The reports of the treasurer, Hugh
Meehan, of Jersey City, showed that
the organization Is in a prosperous
financial condition, while the report
of Secretary George T. Carroll show
ed an attendance of 270 delegates
this year, against 1876 last year.
AS expected, the old set OF officers
was reelected.
The choice of the next meeting
place was left in the hands Of the ex-
ecutive committee.

Back to the Farm

Geo. r. Reynolds, Of Higbee.
farmer. stock raiser and ban
ker. in the newspaper Office last
week. talked very interestingly
and sensibly about the reducing
Of the cost Of living. He holds
that there is little chance for
much reduction until the tide is
turned from the city back TO the
farm. That there must be more
farmers before the supply can be
made TO equal the demand.
He is somewhat optimistic
about this being accomplished in
a reasonable time. Under pres
ent methods much Of the drudg-
cry and monotony Of farm life is
now being eliminated. Improv-
cd machinery. the telephone. dai.
ly papers and the automobile are
putting those on the farm in
about as close touch with the
everyday world as II they lived
In the city. he sees no chance
for the reduction OF the cost Of
meats. as the southwest that
formerly produced thousands Of
cattle very cheaply cannot now
do 80. as the great pastures Of
that country are fast being
turned into cultivated fields and
the big ranges divided.
Mr.. Reynolds Is n successful
man and all his remarks on the
subject bear the mark Of pract-
cability. good judgment and n
thorough acquaintance with the
conditions on which he CON-
ments.

Somewhere in Holy Writ the

light Of business. Do not hide
your light under the fallacious
idea that every cent spent in ad-
vertising is wasted. II is II you
don't do il right, but the fact
that all successful firms adver-

Of the worth. Advertise and
