Tango, Bunny Hug, Trot,
All Will Be Fought

Atlanta, Nov. 21.-Following almost
directly in the lines laid down by the
Catholic churches of Georgia a few
weeks ago the Protestant religious
bodies of the state are planning to lend
their weight to general campaign
against tangoes, turkey-trots, bunny
hugs, slit skirts and sex dramas.
The Episcopalians and Baptists have
already taken action, while the move
ment has already received the informal
endorsement of leaders in the other de-
nominations.
The movement is viewed askance,
however, by Atlanta society folks, even
within the church. Some of the ladies
of the most upright and rigid notions OF
morality, take the view that the modern
dances as danced in the social clubs of
Atlanta have been Invested of the
Objectionable qualities seen some
times in cafes and public places, and
that to blindly condemn all tangoe-
ing, for instance, or even turkey tro1-
ting, would be a mistake.
They say that the tango or the hes

PALIsADE. n. j., April 17.--Mrs.

Mr.. Fuller Is chief engineer of the
Mexico Northern Power Company,
which is establishing an immense

my husband was captured nine
months ago. but managed to escape"
said Mrs. Fuller today. 1T under
stand bandits again captured him
and asked for money.
Miss Effie l.. Luton, of Paterson,
to whom my son. Bernard, is engaged,
has received word from my son that
Mr.. Fuller was captured on April
or 8. Although my sons letter would
indicate Mr.. Fuller paid 100000 and
was liberated, l am not satisfied all
is as it should be, and will ask the
United States government to take up
the case"
Miss Luton, who lives at 664 East

the elder Mr.. Fuller returned he was
threatened with death unless he would

Bernard said that, although the
bandits stood Mr.. Fuller up against

after Mr.. Fuller had been prisoner

WOULD RULE CITY
UNDER NEW FORM
AdoIph Walter Announces Can
didacy for Commissioner
in Jersey City.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., April IT,
The first candidate to take the field
under commission form of govern
ment which was adopted in this city
Tuesday is Adolph Walter, a New
ark avenue jeweler, and president of
the Jersey City Business Mems As
ISOLATION. His candidacy will have
the backing of that association.
1t is expected that there will be a
score or more of candidates at the
primaries which are to be held May
10. Mayor Wittpenn win have a set
of candidates. SO will anti-Wittpenn
factions of the Democratic party.
Progressives under the leadership Of
George l.. Record, will have a ticket
in the field. Regular Republicans
will also have set of candidates.
Individual candidates without or
ganization support will be plentiful.
1t is generally conceded that one
of the new commissioners will be
Frank Hague, whose record as a
member of the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners has met with
public approval. Assemblyman Wal
ter l.. McDermott is being urged By
his lTleuuS " ptSoiiS a Ne'AANAN.NNSS
and he may do so.
Who will be the five candidates the
Wittpenn faction will stand for is
not known, though it is believed that
President Louis Finke, of the Board
of Street and Water Commissioners,
will be one of the number. He has
stood by Mayor Wittpenn.
City Clerk John Morris and other
Wittpenn ward leaders do not think
faverably of Finkes candidacy, and
it may be that they will have their
way and Finke WI be dropped.
Mayor Wittpenn, who rs confined
to his home, is pleased with the out
come of the election. He sent this
statement from his home;
THE trouble has been that a great
city like Jersey City has been forced
for many years to struggle along UNI

RECALL IS BLOW AT OUR
LIBERTIES, SAYS ROOT
U. S. Senator Delivers His Sec
ond Princeton Lecture.


PRINCETON, N. j., April lin
his second Stafford Little lecture at
Princeton University last night,
United States Senator Blihu Root
declared that the recall of judges"
and the "recall of judicial decisions"
strike at thesvery foundation of our
system of government.
They substitute the momentary
will of the majority for all laws,
he said. They repudiate the funda-
mental principles of Anglo-Saxon
liberty, which we inherit and main
tain, for it is the very soul of our
political institutions that they pro-
tect the individual against the ma
iority. The Declaration of indie
pendence held this forth and the ma
iority cannot ignore 1t.
The Constitution, he said, was
based on the idea of individual lib
erty, as opposed to the monarchlcal
theory that the State is everything
and the Individual nothing.
The Constitution. he said in ERECT,
is a check, limitation on the ma
jority.
Man has not yet discovered bet
ter way of ascertaining whether
legislation infringes upon the con-
stitutional rights of the individual
than by submitting the question to
impartial courts.

bound to remain However, the large
number of such structures may have
blinded the observer to the trend oil
modern road building, which, of course,
includes the construction OF bridges. The
trend is toward the abolishng OF the
enclosed type of bridges and the sub
stitutng of structures which at least
furnish the users of the highways the
greatest degree of safety as far as abil-
| ity to see ahead is concerned; and in
many instances steel or iron bridges
are replacing the wooden bridges as SAT
err for travel and less hazardous from
the standpoint of the fire risk. In all
parts of the state the towns are putting
in open.sded bridges just as rapidly as
the condition OF the old structures seems
to warrant and the financial standing
of the towns will permit. Much of
this change of heart away from the
old fashioned wooden bridge has come
in recent years, and it is due as much
TO the automobile as to any other sim
gle agency, perhaps far more. The in
creasing number of motor vehicles and
the greater frequency OF their appear
ance on the highways has impressed
upon the towns the necessity for safe
guarding the highways as much as pos
sible, and that includes the desirabilty
of keeping the roads as open as pos.
sible so that the longest possible vision
is assured. Therefore, the observation
in the contemporary was rather inaccur-
ate.
Moreover, it was unfortunate in its
comparison between wooden bridges and
maple sugar outfits as being fixtures in
Vermont because, while the trend has
been away from wooden bridges, there
has been a hating in the trend away
from maple sugar making and conse-
quently in the holding of maple sugar
outfits. For several years the maple
sugar industry was markedly on the de.
cline, indicating that the retention of
the "outfits" was far from certain; but
lately through frequent proddng and the
all,uement of steadily growing mar
ket, the owners of sugar orchards have
been resuming their operations each |
spring, so that the maple sugar "out-
fit promised once more TO be fixture. |
We hope it will remain a fixture of
Vermont and at the same time we re-
joice that the wooden, blind road bridge |
is becoming thing of the past, great as
is our veneration for old institutions. /
