LITTLE GIRL TAKES STAND
Tragedy and comedy were gener-
ously injected into the closing hours
of yesterdays hearing The tragic
touches were supplied when Mrs.
Merrlam's attorneys called little
/. Charlotte Merriam to the stand to
testify in her mothers behalf The
comedy element was left to Colonel
Clarence Wainwright Murphey, the
gallant civil warrior" who came here
from gay Paris to defend the name OF
Mrs. Merriam.
Up until the last moments of the
trial it was believed that Charlotte
Merriam would not be dragged into
the sordid legal battle. Captain Mer-
riam protested against the move. but
Mrs. Merriams attorneys believed
that the childs testimony would
strengthen the defense, and she was
called
Captain Merriam protested against
having the child sworn. Judge Gra-
ham asked Charlotte IL she realized
the Importance of telling the truth.
The child nodded in the Affirmative.

those who tell untruths?" asked the
court

Charlotte.

The II year old girl corroborated
Mrs Merriafn's testimony concerning
the events that transpired on the
night of the commencement exercises
at the Convent of Perpetual Adora-
1ion She recounted the poison in
cident" which tended to prove that
Mrs Merriam did not try to poison
either herself or the child.
Charlotte cried when she told of
Captain Merriam's return from Wash
ington late in 1910.
Father kissed mother. but he did
not kiss me. On the way home from
the station I started to cry. Mother
asked me why I was crying and l told
her that father had not kissed me-"
Mrs Merriam's head dropped into
her hands.
Captain Merriam rose from the
counsel table and left the room.
WOMEN SPECTATORS IN TEARS
One or two women In the court
room resorted to their handkerchiefs.
Charlotte said that prior to Captain
Merriams visit TO Texas she had
never witnessed a scene between her
mother and father.
Captain Merriam saved the child
from the embarrassment of cross ex-
animation by forbidding his attorney
TO ask her a single question, even
though II might appear vital to his
case.

How To Read Your Paper

A newspaper may be a great waster
of your time or it may he made a great
educational agent.
1t will depend OH how you read it.
You may simply lead it to while
away a tiresome train or trolly trip, and
then throw it away with other waste
paper. This will have ''passed the
time," but it will not necessarily have
improved it for you.
Or you may read it to keep informed
on the days doings the world over.
This method will give you a wonderful
panoramic view of the way the world
ways and should furnish you with a
vast store of information, valuable and
otherwise. This is a better, even if a
rather negative, way to read your paper.
Or, YOU CAN READ IT TO LET IT
SHOW YOU, IF THINGS ARE IMPRov-
ING, HOW TO IMPROVE YOURSELF
THEREBY; AND IF THINGS ARE NOT
IMPROVING. HOW YOU MAY HELP TO
REMEDY THEM.
Read in this way a newspaper will
not be either a waste of time while in
reading or waste paper after it is read.

Does Advertising Pay?

Does it pay to advertise? Well, we
guess it does. The notice in the Times
last Saturday stating that the delinquent
tax list would be published after March
81, has brought in 81 1000 up to noon to-
day. 1t is expected thBt the list will ap-
pear in tomorrow's Times. City Treasur-
er Redfeld had it ready for publication.
but 80 many. have paid up that the list
had to be revised. Woodbury. Times.
The delinquent taxes in this region
have heen large. According to the state
ment published two weeks ago the de-
linquents amounted to 81, 9O7. 48. A year
ago the Borough Council decided to en-
force the notice OH the tax bill OF charg-
ing IL per cent, cent a month, on all tax
es not paid. Probably that may have ac-
counted for there being less delinquents
than at January /, 1912.
Years ago the Township and Borough
published their delinquents and there
was no such amounts unpaid then as
now.
Does advertising pay? may be asked in
Penns Grove as in Woodbury..

South Jersey ISftings

Ernest Pedrick, of Bridgeport, while
cunning for snipe along Raccoon Creek
on Monday, shot a large eagle which
measured six feet between the tips of its
wings.
Because so many acres of tomatoes are
to be planted in and around Swedesboro,
growers believe they will realize more by
having a canning plant in that town and
a company has been formed to erect a
plant along the creek.
Much anxiety is felt in Glassboro over
the absence Of Frank Leap, one of the
most prominent young men of that place,
who has been missing from his home
since Sunday. Mr.. Leap spent Saturday
and Sunday with friends at Penns Grove
and left that place Sunday night at nine
O'Clock for New Castle, that he might
take the midnight train home. He reach
ed New Castle safely and since then no
trace OF him can be found. He carried
considerable money with him and it is
feared he may have been foully dealt
with.

Jury Reform

Jury reform has been blocked by the
reactionary forced backed by the per-
sonal interests of the sheriff in office.
New Jersey and Connecticut are the
only two states in which jurors are Sc
lected by the sheriff. In most of the
counties there has been much complaint
of jurors miscarrying justice but in some
Of the counties In New Jersey the
characters who have little regard for the
laws of God or man are ever alert to
throttle their personal restrain which
adds to the uplift of morality and the
highest ideals of good government.
The referendum proposed by those
opposed by jury reform is a fake, be-
cause the same lawless element which
elects their sheriff would defeat the
referendum.
The drawing of the jury had to be
be assumed by the Court under an
old law in order to clean up the politics
in Atlantic county. The same will
have to be- in Essex, Hudson Mercer, and
Passaic counties.
Jury reform is likely to be the para
mount issue in the g~ubernational cam.
paign this year.

Tariff Revision and Income Tax

Congress will meet i'll an extra session
next week to revise the tariff down

ed from the democratic ideas of a reven.

Just what Congress will do with le-
sFect to the income tax is something

has been suggested that a fiat tax of L
percent or possibly 2 percent, be levied
OIL all incomes in excess of a certain
amount. 1t has been suggested that the
income tax be graduated from l relcent
to 8 to 10 or even so per cent. 1t has
been suggested that the incomes under
$500 a year be exempt. Others would
make the limit $4,000 or SIS, 900. Some

FRIDAY, r 4, 1918.

Pierpont Morgan, the master of bill
ions, died in Rome last Monday, aged
II years. He was the leading financer
of America and accumulated millions
and in fact some believed the U, S.
Government depended upon his over
sight. Some thought that when he left
this mortal sphere there would he fnan.
cial commissions, but the world moves
on as if he were alive. He was a great
man in the world of finance. He did
much to create values by assisting prO-
motors financially. but at the same time
he was the greatest exploiter of wealth
and took tue lions share. His power
in controlling the government finances
and the making of money laws has put
the people in bondage thru countless
generations. While he did this in his
%plutocratic way he dispersed million to
church, to charity and to the accumu.
lation Of luxurious fine arts.
