'STOEVER HACKERS USE
THE PHONE TO LINE
UP THE WOMEN VOTE

Rev. c. w. F. Showers friends
are making a terrific effort to
stampede the women voters away
from Fawcett. The Bone and
Burdick vote, which was largely
made up of women, is lining up
solidly back of Fawcett, and Stoe-
ver's managers have tried to
break this up. Women have been
secured to use the telephone and
a campaign is being waged over
the wires. The women call up all
the women in the directory, and
refusing to give their own names,
proceed to electioneer for Stoever.

EASTER.
BY Teacher Wright Orr.
Yesterday was Easter Sunday.
1t would have been fine day if
1t hadn't rained. Countless peo-
pie attended church for once
during the year, the men because
their wives wanted them to, and
the wives because they wanted to
display their new Easter bonnets.
Many beautiful bonnets and
hats were seen on the streets.
The beauty of them were greatly
enhanced by the showers, which
made some of them sights to be-
hold.
The grocery men and other
pirates who handle eggs, report
that 1t was very successful East

their money to the banks in wag-

Keenan, howled this message to the trembling
man and made ready for further directions.
Take a tourniquet," said the wireless. 1t was
hard to believe that out of sight beyond the hori-
zon a trained mind at another instrument was d.
r~ecting through space the way to save a human
life.
With the aid of the beach comber the tourniquet
was applied and a knife-Carew's own, which had
caused the t~rouble-plunged in boiling water to
make it clean. More brandy was served to him
by the wireless man and everything was ready
for the operation. A native boy who acted as

The first direction came, he repeated 1t back
and it was verified, 80 there could be no mistake.
Each part of the lancing was gone over carefully
under repeated Instructions. Meantime the Santa
Marta continued to plunge along on the blue Ca
ribbean.
And when the cutting was over there came
the query from the ship to shore:
Have you any tar?"
Keenan, had, and the instruction came to boil
It and pour 1t on the now clean wound. 1t was
rough surgery, but the best thing under the cir
cumstances. Carew tainted under 1t and was re-
vived.
Tell him he's safe now" came the wireless.
The tourniquet was removed and the numbed
leg, still horribly painful under the soaring tar.

Let him have enough to forget his troubles"
ordered the surgeon, and the message was sent.
Now by rights all should have been over with
the saving of Carew. But there remained the one
touch that will be a long time finding its dupli-
cate.
The following day the young naturalist appear
ed dragging himself along with q cane In defiance
of orders. He stopped by the wireless man who
had taken his instrument out under the trees.

demonstrate. II feel great. It's wonderful to
know you're going to live after all. l want to

So keenan, raised the Santa Marta again and
the surgeon was called to the wireless room.
Tell him I can't operate the key SO 1t means
anything" said Carew, but if he will sit down at
the instrument I'll make some dots with the thing
and that will serve for the present. You know
our hands will really touch when his has one key

And so 1t happened that through the air over

OUR COMMUNITY

COMMUNITY Meetings in New
~ ark as instituted by the High
School Alumni Association, have
struck popular chord. Their sue
cess and influence for community
good depends now on the citizen
ship itself. Station in life, creed,
party or social set have no promi
nence here. 1t works for good in
that it makes for raising the stand
ard of average opinion. Here plans
for town betterment are projected
in keeping with majority opinion
and sentiment.
The Association has demonstrat-
ed clearly that there exists a com
munity spirit in Newark. In their
success, they have reason to be
proud. They have presented the
idea and its opportunity. Now
everyone should personally con-
Germ himself in bringing about
some definite issue. These Com
munity meetings are not intended
to take away any of the effective
ness of work done by the several
town clubs and organizations, but
rather to act as the social clearing
house Of all movements. An active
membership in some club or social
set prompts a special duty toward
this community service. Any or
ganization in town working on
some definite line for improvements
would do well to present their
cause to the community at these
meetings. This would insure for
cooperation thus making for great
er success.
Those absent last evening missed
a rare treat in DR.. Mitchell's talk
on "Civic Patriotism. " He pre-
sented a pleasing opportunity and
vital responsibility to every one
living in and around Newark.

No taxpayer, however humble, Is
free from a certain responsibility
in this Statewide movement for
better educational advantages.
The installation of the new pres

Women's College, promise great
things and it is our duty to render
assistance in every way.
We of Newark have a peculiar
1espr visibility in our relations to
the College. The State has, we
think wisely, designated Newark as
the home for these institutions.
They are not ours in any local sense

regret on the part Of the State that
our community has been chosen.

THE DUTY OF CITIZENSHIP

EVERY citizen in this country is
l. vitally interested in its govern
ment, and all have duty to per-
form. The right of franchise is
our constitutional privilege, and
the exercising of this function is
our imperative duty as well as our
selves. This calls for thought and
study. When we go to the polls to
cast our ballot we ought to be ac-
quainted with every question that
is voted on, and also know what
each party and candidate stands
for. The time for blindly follow
ing party leader, just because ne
belongs to a certain organization,
is past. 1t is time for us to give
more attention to the affairs OF
town, county, state and nation.
Many important questions are be-
ing threshed out, and every one is
Of interest to us.
Good citizenship demands that
you think in fair, logical and un-
biased way before you vote. Don
condemn and tear down unless you
know whereof you speak. Don't be
antagonistic to big movements OF
the day just because your father
before you was. Have a reason; !;
know why you think as you do,
and when once you have satisfied
yourself, by careful research, go
ahead as your conscience dictates,
and go hard. Take an interest IN
everything. You can't get good
men in office by simply staying at
home and criticising. It takes work
and your influence is needed for
good.
Honest. honorable and capable
men are needed in every office. 1t a
dishonest, unscrupulous man holds
Office in your territory, it is un-
doubtedly the fault Of the good
people in the territory that he is
there. It is too often the case that
most people are Indifferent to pol
itics, and they do not care who IS
elected until too late. Right now
every good citizen is needed to take
an active interest in the affairs OF
state. It is simply mutual, for you
need the country and the country
needs you.
Too often we hear people say
they would not take an office it it
were rendered to them, as they are
too busy, farm or business needs
them, etc. This is the worst kind
of selfshness, and is decidedly un-
becoming to an American citizen.
If the majority of people took this
view, where would we BET We owe
our Government a service, and If
that service be in seeing that cap
able and trusty men are put in Of
fee. or if it be in filing that office
yourself. do not finch, as this is "a

people and by the pople." We,

is perhaps the first requirement.
But the great question is What
is the trend of public opinion IN
Newark? What does it commend?
What does it condemn? Are the
churches thriving? What is the
death-rate in the community? The
most hopeful sign ] can see IS IN
meetings such as these, to discuss
and energize the purposes OF the
community. F"
