In DAYS OF II
Husk Mattresses Only Two Dollars
Each, But Gas Cost $4 Instead
of $1.60--Mayor's Pay.
PESSIMISTS In THEIR GLORY

1t must have been some glorious
day back in 1876-77 for those good
citizens who are continually decry-
ing the prosperity of Lambertville
and Hunterdon County, and pre-
dieting nothing but gloom ahead.
Every ad in the papers of those
days started off with wall about
dull times, and ended up by saying
that this or that particular concern
was doing more business than ever,
despite the dullness.
Those dear souls who complain
about gas being SLIGO per thousand
cubic feet in Lambertville at the
present time, don't ever want to let
on to Manager George Wilgus, of
the New Jersey Northern plant, but
in 1877 it was 50 per thousand feet.
incidentally, people burned wood in
their stoves then, and never light
ed the gas so long as they could feel
or see their way through the house.
Back in Centennial year there was
a holler against raising the salary of
the Mayor of the City of Lambert
vile from S25 per year to S1OO, and
the chief argument made was that
there were lots of people who would
be glad to serve for the smaller sum.
Some idea. Let's try putting it out
by bid hereafter. 1t will at least
save all the expenses of that part
of the election.
Without in any way disparaging
those people who complain of the
high cost of living these times, we
would call their attention to the fact
that husk mattresses could be bought
here in Lambertville for only So in
1877. Anyone desiring to rest their
weary bones upon corn husks, even
in this day, could probably save
something in cost over buying an
Ostermoor.
The new county bridge over Swan
Creek was completed in 1876, and it
was accounted an important event
in the City of Lambertville.
The train service on the Fleming
ton Branch railroad has pretty nearly
helds its own since 1876 Just as
many trains are run in 1918 as
thirey-seven years ago, and a couple
of the trains make trifle better
time. In those days, though, a man
was compelled to remain in the
county seat town from 2 O'Clock un-
til $40 in the afternoon, whereas he
can only remain thirty-seven min
utes now.
The Lambertville record., 1913-11-20

New Hope seems to have been
some town even away back in 1876,
because it was then that Eastburn
Reeder, one of Bucks County's best
known farmers, won a diploma for
exhibiting the best butter at the
Centennial Exposition, which had
just closed in Philadelphia. The
cows from which the butter was
produced, pastured in fields located
in New Hope borough.
The Lambertville record., 1913-11-20

Fashions could not have been
much less exciting thirty-seven years
ago than now, according to old
Bucks County traditions. In 1876
Krewson Ely's horse ran away,
while hitched in front of the Cana
da Hill Baptist Church, smashing up
the wagon and causing lots of ex-
citement, all on account of seeing
some young ladies pass. We can
understand how any self-respecting
horse could take fright at some of
the fashions of the present day, but
thirty-seven years ago things must
have been just as bad.

WILSON WARNS
SISTER REPUBLICS
CounSeIS Order in Central and
South America.
NO SYMPATHY WITH REBELS
Administrator Object Will Be to cui-l
tivate Amicabe Relations With Ma
tons to South.


Washington, March IL. - President
Wilson gave the first indication OF
what are to be the foreign policies Of
his administration. He issued state
ment dealing with the relations De7
tween the United States and the coun-
tries of Latin America.
The statement is practically re-
affirmation of the Taft policies and
serves notice upon the turbulent eie7
ments of Latin America that the Unit
ed States will insist upon aw, order
and constitutional government in the
southern republics.
The Wilson statement is a direct
thrust at Castro, Zelaya and others
ton Of existing governments in GER
tain Latin American countries. 1t is
a severe blow to the plans of those
professional revolutionists who had
convinced themselves that under g
Democratic administration at Wash
ington license would be permitted in
Central America.
The president undoubtedly issued
his statement chiefly for the purpose OF
disabusing the agitators of Latin
America of any notion that the Taft
policies for the UNFOLDING of good gov
eminent in those countries would be
repudiated.
But the statement has another I'M
portant significance. 1t is construed
as notice to the Huerta government in
Mexico City that the United States
will not recognize it until it has itself
received the Endorsement Of the ma
jority of the people in Mexico In q
regular election.
There is found in the statement also
assurances to the business interests
in the United States who have particle
pated in business relations with the
countries of Latin America that they
will not be disregarded by the present
administration.
Mr.. Wilson asserts that one of the
aims of his administration will be to
promote trade relations between the
United States and the countries Oh
promising that such interest in trade
relationships shall not interfere with
the rights and liberties of the Latin
American countries, the belief II;
washington IL that the practical af
plication of the Wilson policy will re-
suit in the same support to legitimate
commercial enterprise as they have
enjoyed under Republican administra-
lions in the last sixteen years.
This support to legitimate business
enterprises in foreign lands and the
promotion of trade relationships is
nothing more nor less than the IDOL
lar diplomacy" which many Demo
Gratis, including officers of the present
administration and Democratic mem
bers of congress, have repeatedly as
serted would not be part of the new
regime.
