ance up to this morning, and the
appropriations necessary to be
made at this term will aggregate
about $1,000, and they should in
no event exceed this. Therefore,
in order to meet the current ex-
penses for the remainder of the
year, the trustee should be au-
thorized to borrow enough money
to do so. We think that, with the
other revenues due and accruing,
a loan of $1,750 for four months
will be amply sufficient to meet
the expenses. If the Court will
carefully limit its appropriations
at this term so as not to exceed
the above sum, the county will
get through the year very credit
ably.
After deducting all releases and
commissions, the trustee has on
hands due the County Special
Fund the sum of 81 ,426.98, and
this should at once be applied to
the payment of interest-bearing
warrants of the county.
After deducting all releases and
commissions, the trustee has on
hands due the Bridge Fund the
sum of 81, 828.43, and this should
at once be applied to the payment
of bridge bonds and warrants.
We have examined the settle
ments of the trustee, county court
clerk and clerk and master and
find them correct. The office of
the circuit court clerk is not in a
satisfactory condition. Up to
August 1st of this year, we find
that the circuit court clerk, for
1911, 1912, and for seven months
this year, has failed to charge
himself with fees collected amount
ing to $186.57, and this sum should
be charged to him in settlement of
his salary account at the end of
the year. AT the close of the year
we will run over the account for
the balance of this year and ascer-
tam the exact amount with which
The should be charged.

Inspector Shaw, of the State depart

houses and kept under surveillance. 1t
is believed the animal may be tu-

that sick cattle rejected by some of
the larger slaughter houses in the
State were bought in by an agent, who
disposed of them to the proprietors of
some of the small slaughter houses in
Union county. DR.. Fucker made "a tour
of inspection of some of the slaugh-
ter houses in the county with Inspec-
tor Shaw. The latter reported hat n
shop in Roselle Park was in an es-
pecially filthy condition and the pro-
prietor may lose his license. During
the week several local meat dealers
were fined in police court for selling
tainted meat. The charge against them
was made by Health Officer Richards
as a result of reports made to him by
his deputies, following inspections.

Personal Side Of christianity

The Christian religion as a personal
possession is more than a theory or
system of beliefs. 1t is prominently
an experience %inwrought by the Holv
Spirit in response to personal faith in
Jesus Christ, as the worlds sin bear
er. There is no stronger appeal to
reason than the religion of Jesus
Christ. No other subject or question
presents such a challenge to the in
tellect as does Christianity as a reli-
gion of fact and supernatural power
and achievement. E%spousal of this
faith is not a sign of weakness. but of
strengthened a mark of folly, but of
superior wisdom both as to the pres
ent and the future. The Christian reli-
gion deals with the fact of sin, its uni
versatility and its curse, from which
there Is no escape except by faith in
Jesus Christ and the merits of his
atonement. 1t is the way of salvation
the only way. That it is the wpS of
salvation has been abundantly demon
strated by personal experience of null
tiplied thousands and millions, who
have borne testimony to the fact, not
only by word of mouth. but much more
by their TRANSPORTED lives over against
their former life in tho service Of sin

Washington.-David Lamar and Ed
ward Lauterbach delivered their vale
dictories to the Senate lobby investi-
gators and were excused from fur
ther attendance at the sessions of
that body. This closed the chapter Of
incidents and accidents which began
with Representative A. Mitchell Pal
mer's testimony regarding his inter-
change of views with Lewis Cass Led
yard more than a week ago.
During their service as witnesses
Lamar and Lauterbach, particularly
the former, gave to the Senate the
most astounding testimony to which
a legislative committee has ever been
called upon to listen. The windup of
Lamar's testimony was equal in in
terest, daring and originality to any
thing that had preceded it.
He made the assertion hat in Wall
Street ethics "the end justifes the
MEANS" and told the committee that
in Wall Street parlance and Wall
Street practice when an operator, the
leader of n of the great manipula-
tons of the vast machine, puts his
hand to the plough honor flies out of

Your metaphor is mixed, but your
meaning is plain" Senator Reed inter-
jected.

of the steel resolution introduced by
Representative Stanley nearly two

Gated the investigation of the affairs

ton. Lamar has also been acclaimed
the author of the Henry resolution,
upon which the money trust investiga-
ton was based.
Lamar excused his campaign of i'm
PRESERVATION of Congressman on the
ground that he was only using meth
DDS employed by his enemies. He
said the house of Morgan" had ru-
ined him and his friend, Edward
L~auterbach, and he was determined
to bring the guilty persons into the
open. He likewise said that he had
spent his personal fortune Of more
than 5 1000, 600 in the hope of re-
storing Lauterbach into the good
graces of Morgan and Co., but had
failed.

who are already here should ally
themselves and face issues as a rep
resentative body instead Of individu-
alse. The following committees were
