That Mothers Pension Law.

One of the most vicious of all the VI iors measures that the voters of Arizona approved st the late election was one With the misnomer of ''old age and m ther's pension" This measure provides that all aims houses in the state of Arizona shall be sold and the increment therefrom be turnel over to the State for the purpose of providing pension fund from which all depend ent poor, Cll men and mothers unable to support themselves shall receive monthly the munifcient sum of fifteen dollars, provided the board of control arrive at the conclusion that they are needy. In the meantime, and before the board may act, if these applicants shall have starved to death, or have died for lack of care, why the State and the people will have saved the sums that otherwise might have even tually been paid to them.
 Now just think of this law for one sane moment: What would poor fel- low do with fifteen dollars all at one time, when he had only room rent, board, medicine and a doctor and nurse 10 pay out of it. None want or expect aims when they are in good bodily health, and the good Lord knows no man could furnish himself eats at the present price of provision for the amount of money that this freak con- templates shall be allowed him. A woman is not supposed to be such a high feeder as man, ard therefore, she may be able to furnish herself with sustenance on this amount, but there would not be much glow to her cheeks or sparkle to her eye after month or two of the fare that she would be com pelled to subsist on. Why, we do not even believe that Paul White, one of the ardent boosters of the law, would take on much flesh if ne were required to live on the pension he would provide for the men that blazed the way for our present day civilization. It would be no T-bone steaks for him. It would come nearer being beans straight, with possibly tallow candle for dressing.
 Like all the other measures we be- leve the people were mislead by the catchy proposition on the ballot, which would indicate that the poor mothers and the average men would be pro- vided for with small pension on which they, with the small amount of other work, might eke out an existence. But this is not true. It is only those that are down and out that would come W thin the purview of the law, and to those it would mean death by starva- ton or lack of care.

ChatsWorth.

Cassusa Britton, our peripatetic phil
osopher, when asked why he was invari-
ably on time, remarked that he took that
precaution, because he noticed that
whenever man is waited for, all his
faults are brought forward and discussed.
One of our local wits, who is suffering
from bronchial attack, and who had a
particularly bad spell during his physi-
clans visit, caused the latter to remark
that he seemed to cough with difficulty.
That's rather surprising" said the
patient, "as l have been practicing all
night"
After the physician had examined the
eyes of oA school children, the teacher
sent note to the mother of one of our
hopefuls, saying that Ira was not per-
feet OFFICIALLY" Next day the mother
visited the teacher and informed him
that 'the old man whaled Ira last night
and took hand at him this morning,
and we think he'll be all right from now
on"
The new pastor is making hit. At a
recent meeting he mentioned that while
travelling on train that day a fellow
passenger inquired concerning his des-
tination, and on being informed Chats
worsh, replied, 'Oh, that's the place
where they have such big mouths" We
enjoyed the lnnuendo immensely; each
of us knew it was the other party that
was referred to, and at a talk-fest after
the meeting we said they only got what
they deserved.

Rummape Sale.

There will be rummage sale in the
Union Fire Company House, beginning
tomorrow morning. The proceeds of
this sale will be used for the benefit of
the fund to maintain visiting nurse in
Mount Holly.
This is very worthy object and should
receive the encouragement and support
of all. 1t matters not whether the con-
tribution is nickel or five dollars, it is
welcome just the same. The visiting
nurse has been and will continue to be
one of the best institutions of Mount
Holly. Few persons know of the good
that Miss Steelman has done. In one
of the morning papers yesterday there
was an article on the care of infants
eyes. 1t showed that large percentage
of the blindness now existing was caused
by the lack of attention given the eyes
of babies. In this particular part of her
careful and attentive and there are
babies who, if they live to old age, will
be indebted to her for their good sight.
At any time during the day the visit
| ing nurse is ready to respond to calls
and never has she been known to disre-
gard summons. She has made hun
dreds of visits and has never hesitated
because she has not known where the
compensation was coming from OF
whether there was to be any pay. Under
the control of the Woman's League she
has been assured of certain salary but
it has never been sufficiently large to
entirely compensate her. Where persons
are able they are expected to pay for the
services rendered. The work of the visit.
ing nurse consists of day visits. The
nights are her own, yet in many in
stances she has gone out on night calls
when she knew there would not be any
compensation.
The visiting nurse is blessing to any
community. The trouble is that few
people take the trouble to interest them
selves in the work and have not tn,
lproper knowledge of the character ant
Iextent of the work done by the nurse
The Woman's League struggles nobly t.
} make up the small salary paid tn
nurse and at present the treasury is yer,
low. One the women interested in tn
work said she had attempted to find 20
men and women in Mount Holly VIII
would guarantee one dollar per year fc
the expenses of the nurse and up to dat
she had succeeded, after several day!
0 labor, in getting three men to give tn
+ required pledge. This is a subject tbs
is worth considering.

Political Notes.

Senator B. H. White has been at At
lantic City for couple of weeks, seeking
rest, but he was kept busy answering
inquiries with reference to his candidacy
for member of Congress. He found a
very good feeling for him in Atlantic
county and his prospects for landing the
nomination are quite encouraging.
Arrangements for the Jeffersonian
dinner to be given by the Burlington
County Democratic club have been COM
pleted and the affair will take place this
evening in the Burlington auditorium.
Many prominent Democrats are down
as after-dinner speakers and if they all
get there the affair will de brilliant.
Dick Hughes is to be POSTMASTER and
that alone will be worth the price of ad-
mission.
Assemblyman Scovel, of Camden, has
had several bees in his bonnet recently
and the latest is said to be the buzz of
the Office of sheriff. 1t was thought he
had decided to run for Congress, but
after two weeks stay at Wernersville,
Pa, he seems to have had another sort
of dream.

Bullet Kills Bow at PLAY.

George E. Mccullough, eleven year
of age, only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward B. Mccullough, of Shreve street
Mount Holly, was killed in very sad
accident, on Saturday afternoon, by be-
ing shot through the head with bullet
from an old-fashioned rifle barrel.
Two years ago two rifles were given to
Mr.. Mccullough, one for his son and the
other for nephew, to keep until the
the boys were old enough to use them.
The stocks were takeYfrom the barrels
and all were wrapped in newspapers and
put away, with no knowledge of their
being loaded.
Saturday afternoon George, and a
companion, Harry Poinsett, aged ten
years, were playing in MIR. McCullough's
shop in his yard, when they found the
rifles. Each boy took rifle, without
the stocks, and were marching around
with them on their shoulders, and were
handling them carelessly, not knowing
they were loaded. Poinsett placed his
weapon on the floor, and when George
laid his rifle down the jar caused the
hammer to fall and exploded the cart
ridge, the bullet entering his head at the
left temple, fractured his skull and went
out out the back of his head, piercing
the main artery, causing an internal
hemorrhage. He was rushed to the
hospital, but death occurred in about an
hour.
Coroner Worrell viewed the body and
Investigated the case, satisfied himself
that it was an accident and issued
burial permit.
The funeral will be held this afternoon
at his parents residence. Interment at
Brotherhood cemetery.

There has been much criticism of the
! Board of Excise Commissioners for hav-
| ing granted license to John +. Martin
for the Central hotel. Two previous eff
forts of Mr.. Martin to get license were
unsuccessful. Other licenses granted
were: Retail, Louis ]. Rittenger, Harry
S. Earring, John b. Kelly, Charles A.
Pope, Howard Davis; wholesale, Albert
NJ Parker and Thomas J. Rattigan. The
license fee was fixed at $500 for retail, an
increase of $145 over last year, and $400
for wholesale, which was formerly $205.
The granting of the additional license,
together with the increase in the fees,
will give the city an added revenue in
this department of $1.905.

Ernest Watts thought an administra-

no executor was named. and a nephew
filed a cayeat against the probate Of the
paper. Mr.. Walton lived in a finely
furnished house at Beverly. He did not

looked after by two servants. At the
death of Mr.. Walton the furniture was
all left in the house so far as Mr.. Watts
could ascertain and he felt that some
one should be appointed to look after it.
There was undoubtedly other property
which should be in the hands of party
who could be held responsible for it.
Joshua +. Borton objected to the APP
pointment of an administrator. He
said it would entail unnecessary expense
on the estate. When Mr.. Walton died
the servants left the house which was
securely locked. There were some fine
rugs in the place, some jewelry, a watch
and other things which were taken care
| of by a sister of the caveator. The fur
niture was left in the house. Everything
else of value was locked in the vault of a

Plan Religious Activities.

Y. M. @. A. representatives and a
number of clergymen met at the Pres
byterian church, Mount Holly, on Thurs
day, and approved plan of uniting to
regain lost ground and broaden the field
of activity for applying religious prin-
ciples to all life's problems. Nearly 100
men interested in this movement at
tended. Professor Edwin l.. carp, of
Drew Theological Seminary, told the
workers that AZ per cent. of the children
of most communities are lost to the
church and gave the methods being used
by modern churches to overcome this
loss.
DR.. Warren H. Wilson, superintend-
ent of the Presbyterian church
Country Life Work, told of the general
union of the Protestant churches of
America for better and more effective
work and said that this movement will
grow greater within the next few years.
He encouraged the establishment of
Fairgrounds and all forms of athletics
as an important method of teaching
morality with better results than all
other forces combined, even though
properly directed.
The Rev. Thomas S. Brock, of Bur
lington, in stirring address impressed
his hearers with the fact that there is
too much neglect of the social side of
religious teaching and churches seem
determined to cut themselves off from
social affairs when they should be en-
couraging them. Lawyer Harold b.
Wells, of Bordentown, spoke on the
liquor question and said that the min
listers and their assistants must get to-
gether to guard against the liquor traffic
getting the upper hand.
j. Harvey Borton, of Moorestown,
said that too few preachers recognize
what serious proposition is confront |
ing them and he wanted to see more
vim and enthusiasm in their work.
Organization was effected by the cleo
ton of these officers: President, Rev. /
t. S. Brock, Burlington; vice president |
Rev. I. M. Eastwood, Burlington; secre-
tary and treasurer, Otis b. Read, Mount
Holly; executive board, Rev. Arthur !
