The Economy Of the New Colony


An enthusiastic meeting was held at
the Court House on Tuesday night in
the interest of the movement for the es-
Enlistment in the pine district of the
county of a colony for the development
of defective children, the importance of
which was forcibly presented by an il
Illustrated lecture delivered by Professor
Alex. johnson, of the Vineland Home.
The committee appointed to act in con-
junction with the State Department of
Charities and Corrections were able to
report contributions of 81, 639.07. The
hope was expressed that the desired sum
could be raised by February and dur
ing the meantime other communities
are to be enlightened respecting the
matter. Miss Elizabeth Kite, of Jersey
City, and Miss Elizabeth G. White, of
New Lisbon, who are earnest workers in
the cause, spoke on the subject under
discussion.
In connection with the proposed col
ony for feeble-minded that will probably
be established in this county, it may be
said it has been proven that a very large
percentage of the inmates of the reform
schools and prisons are of the moron
type of feeble minded persons and there
for cannot be reformed as they have not
the mental power to resist any tempta-
ton that offers. After the terms of such
prisoners expire they are turned loose
on the community to reproduce their
kind, commit some new offence and
again 90 through the mill of the courts.
This is very expensive way of getting
very poor results.
Once a mental defective is in Nineland
he is under the control of the institution
for life and the aim of the parent in
stitution, which will be extended to the
colony, is to make its wards happy, as
nearly self supporting as possible and LOT
course, prevent reproduction. As the
members Of the colony, of the moron
type, must necessarily become so by pro-
cess of law and would in any case be a
charge on the community, this is GER
tainly the most kindly and economical
way of caring for them.
The state pays for each of its wards in
the training school greater or less
amount Of money according to the
amount of care required and a number
are now earning their own living by
work about the institution or its large
farm.
OF these is John, one of the most
troublesome and mischievouS of boys for
a long time after his arrival. He is
team driver on the farm and besides his
own living he is partly paying the way
of Douglas, little crippled boy who is
known at Vineland as "John's baby"
1t is Johns delight to care for this child
before and after his days work in the
field and his love for This baby is one
of the strongest influences in keeping
him an orderly and industrious men,
Der of the training school community.

Actions against five Burlington county
dealers charged with selling milk or
cream of inferior quality and against
local butcher, alleged to have used a
chemical preservative in Hamburg steak,
have been brought by the State Board
of Health before Magistrate Smith.
One of the final moves in the Fire
Chief muddle, which is expected to end
with the selection of a new chief next
month, was the refusal of the Council
to pay the costs of the trial of Robert
Barcllay, the rival Chief chosen by
Council, for an attack upon fireman.
Barcklay was convicted, but got off
with a'severe reprimand from the Court,
and asked Council to pay the costs OF
his trial, but City Solicitor Watts ruled
that the bill cannot be legally paid by
the city.
The legal right of saloonkeepers to sit
as members of Councils, which not only
grants their licenses, but fixes the fees

politicians in the hope of putting

lines. The term of Councilman Jane;

Mayor Gilbert, at a meeting of the
Board of Commissioners, sounded a
note of warning to all the hotelkeepers
that if the excessive drunkenness on the
streets of the city is not abated reduc-
ton will be made in the number of
licensed liquor places next year. The
mayor was severe in his arraignment of
the greed of some of the dealers and
asserted that fewer places would be the
most effectual remedy for this evil.
This staten ent from the chief executive
was due to numerous complaints from
citizens who declare that conditions
were never worse than at the present
time, and that some of the hotels are
guilty of gross violations of the excise
laws
The prosecution of the owners of I'M
registered dogs is now under way and
the marshal is making canvass of the
city to locate the offenders. Since Sat:
urday fifteen owners of unlicensed dogs
have been summoned to appear before
the mayor to answer to this charge
On and after January l all owners OF
vacant lots and buildings not having
water connections will be assessed Sc
annually for water rent. This change
was brought about by the passage of an
ordinance. Many desirable building lots
are being held at prohibitive prices and
this new ruling, it is expected, will be an
inducement for the owners to dispose OF
them at a more reasonable price and
thus enable enterprising builders to gel
possession of them and erect modern
dwellings to supply the increased de-
mand for homes.

Mysterious Gunshot.

With but short interval of conscious
ness 14-year-old Mary Southland, who
was shot while picking teaberries JUS
outside her home at Brindle Park, neal
Golfers Mills, Tuesday, is lowering be-
( tween life and death.
In the brief period of consciousness
Mary was able to say that she was stand
ing when the shot came, but that
was all. There was no word as to
whether she had seen anyone or whether
any threats had ever been made to her.
Nor has it been possible to learn if the
child had been the victim of unwelcome
attentions which she had repulsed. 1t
is the idea of some of the authorities
that such a condition might have led
some resentful youth to seek vengeance,
but so far they have been unable to
gather any facts to sustain such a
theory.
Mary is the daughter of Levi Southland.
For some time she has been practically
the mother of the household, as Mrs.
Southland has been too frail to attend to
the home duties. The family is poor,
but intelligent, honest and industrious,
and have many warm friends in the
community. Beside Mary there are
several smaller children, the care of
whom has fallen upon the little house
keeper, giving her scant time for social
gayety or even school. Loyal friends
have come to the aid of the family and
are doing their utmost to keep life in the
little body and helping the mother.
1t is the general opinion that the little
girl was the victim of some one with a
purpose. There have been
feuds in that sparsely settled
section of the country, far removed from
the railroads and populous centres, and
more than one crime has been commit
ted in these bitter wars for vengeance.
Mary Southland fell victim to
deadly hatred is not as yet known, but
along that line will be
made as widespread as possible and every
effort put forth to clear up the mystery |
and bring the guilty one to justice.
The people of the vicinity do not be-
ieve that the child was shot accidentally. |
rhe cunning season closed last Monday,
md few persons care to risk heavy fines
or violations of the law, as the game
vardens are especially strict and active
n Ocean county, where the State Game
Farm is located. Residents also express
he belief that, if the shot was fired ac-
,identally, the man who fred it, if a
esident of the locality, would come for
ward with an explanation.

preached an excellent Christmas sermon.
The church was crowded at the evening
service, which was in charge of the
Sunday school, when the Christmas
exercises were rendered in a most pleas
ing manner, especially so of the primary
school. On Friday evening will be
another occasion of Christmas joy, when
the scholars of the Methodist Sunday
school will meet for social time, and it
is believed this will surpass all previous
events of that Sunday school. The Sun.
day school orchestra will be present and
enliven the occasion, there will be sing.

scholars will be served with ice cream
and cake.

.GAME||l. LAWS. ':.:..:.+.. :. ARE FAULTY
Governor Points Out In Annual Report--suggests Matter Left
 to Local Legislature.

In his annual report on the Alaska game law and it's admin istration, Gov. Clark makes a strong plea to have the power given to the local legislature to amend existing laws and regula- tions and to frame new measures that may become expedient from time to time.
 The report shows that the fierce brown bear, protected by the game law, is growing so numerically strong ill certain localities, es- pecially on Kodiak island that he has become a pestilence, attack ing the offspring of moose, one of the most valuable food animals. It is also. stated that this mon- ster has become a nuisance to human beings.
 The incongruOus condition re- sulting from the classification of bear is pointedly shown in the fact that a brown bear is classed as game and protected by the game law, while the black bear is named as fur bearing animal and subject to the regulations of the bureau of fisheries. Yet the workings of nature are such that of the same litter some bears are black and some are brown.
 The governor also suggests that the fur laws should be made by the local legislature with the possible exception of the laws applying to the fur seal. It is demonstrated the lack of a prop CT understanding of conditions existing in Alaska make it i'm practicable for congress to leg islate intelligently on these sub jects.
 The report states that the in- crease from $12,OOO to $15,OOO per year enabled the governor to enforce the regulations more rapidly. The increase has been used in travelling expenses fol the game wardens.
 Except in districts close by towns and industrial camps and on certain islands where wolves have ravagrd the deer there has apparently been a net increase in the nuDlrbr of large game ami malls.
