play ground.

property Of seven acres has been obtained

Congress Getting Better

Congressman are improving in the
moral conception of conduct. Recently
a Mississippi Congressman returned
some money to the treasury for services
he had not rendered. There is All old
law to that effect, but this is the first
instance i'll years that it has been re-
spected.
A Democratic Congress has caused
James L. McDermott, Democratic, of
Chicago, to resign after a probe i nto
his conduct.
Mulhall charged that McDermott had
had permitted him to use his congress
slOndl frank for circulating matter for
the National Association of Manufac-
turers, and that McDermott had as
serted he had received 81, 500 from local
pawnbrokers to work against the Fed
efal loan-shark law and a $4,000
campaign contribution from a Chicago
brewers association.
) McDermott's defence was that money
received from the pawnbrokers was in
the nature of personal loans, and that
the brewers had contributed only $500
out of personal friendship.
The majority of the investigating
committee, recommending censure, re-
ports McDermott guilty of acts OF
grave improperly, u%nbecoming the
distinguished position he holds, and
added that "his training and ~associa-
tions have not given linn the ethical
perceptions ami standard relative to
public office that usual characterize
public men.
An ethical perception as to public
conduct is something new for Congress
to consider, and has only come into
vogue in recent year.
Would it not be well for all officials tc
have an ethical perception as to theil
duties in conformity to law and not tC
their own personal views as to what
the law should be?

'enns Grove r1an High Marksman.

Last Saturday was a good day for r. p.
Willis, Penns Grove, n. j. trapshooter.
He competed in the regular events at the
dupont Trapshooting Club in Whining
ton, and in addition to making a very
remarkable score he walked off with a
couple of cups. 1t was in tile first con-
test, the Frank L.. Connable cup contest
that he turned in his sensational card Of
"A out of rs from 20 yards. He led all
other starters in this event, and has the
honor Of having his name engraved OH
the trophy. In addition to Willis, the
following have also won the prize: ). B.
Ntzhugh,, T. w. Mathewson, A. B. kich-
ardson, H.. L. Reed, 2; s. A. Refs, Walt
er Tomlinson, j. W. Mathews, Eugene
DUPONT, w. NJ. Foord and j. j. Maya
hern.
Under the conditions covering the
award of the cup, when it has been shot
for on II different occasions, the winners
meet in a match for final permanent
possession and the above will soon be
brought together for this purpose. The
match will be so targets per man, shot
on a distance handicap basis, and is sure
to bring out some good shooting.
TUoHToN-DUPoNT CONTEST
The next match shot off was the chal-
leDge contest between Stanley Tuchton,
holder of the Eugene DUPONT Glass B
Challenge Cup, and K. p. Willis of Penns
Grove, N. j., challenger. 1uchton has
been holding tenaciously to the Glass B
Cup OF late defeating all contenders. He
expected to add another scalp to his belt,
but he reckoned without>host, after which
Willis turned in that "a out % from the
20 yards. In the first rs targets shot at,
the match was all square, both having
made a score of % breaks. In the last
frame Tuchton was not steady, and drop
5 targets, one of which was the last one
shot at. Willis dropped four birds one
of which was also his last, and the match
went to him by one target. Had Tuch-
ton broken his last bird, the score would
have been tied, and another slloot-ofi
necessary.

Disease Hits Tomatoes.

There is general alarm among the TOM
alto growers i'll various parts of Burlington
county over the appearance of tomato
''mosaic," a disease that is always dead
ly. Investigation in several fields shows
many plants yellow and like the first
stages of leaf spot, suffering from this dis
ease.
The disease gets its name from the PEE
culiar %yellowlsh noting of the leaves and
is similar in many respects to the mosaic
disease of tobacco. The effect OF the dis
ease is always serious, especially when il
appears SO early in the season.

In The Capital of Calamity
From The New York World

From The New York World
"There is absolutely nothing wrong
with business" Henry Ford, the great
automobile manufacturer, tells the Pres
ldent. He insists that there is not ven
a psychological depression.
But where does Mr.. Ford comefrom,
and what does he know about Wall
street =? He seems to be speaking about
a county outside of lower Manhattan.
He evidently has in mind a region
which is now engaged i'll taking over
$40, 000, 900, 900 out of the soil at the
rate of many millions a day; which will
have 300, DOC, 900 bushels of wheat to
sell Europe when Europe needs it;
which is developing a traffic that forces
upon the railroads the need of putting
to use every freight can within their
reach.
''Nothing wrong with business?"
What has all this got to do with bust
ness? What about Wall street, which
is the source of all wealth and the
fountainhead of all prosperity {?
They are not gambling in Wall
street as they used to. There are on
more million share days. Fewer
people are at work on shoestring mar
gins, and the resulting unemployment
is terrific. The market lacks leader
ship" and no new NapOleons of 10 per
cent margin finance have as yet appear
ed. All is going to the dogs, and cal
amity strings out its daily wall on
every ticker.
Mr.. Ford can find no evidence of
calamity? What did he expect, when
he fails to visit Calamity in its Capital?
