The former Riverton Browns base ball
club have recognized as Beverly
Browns under the management of
Joseph Anderson, for the coming season.
The water company has just completed
the drilling of several wells in the
vicinity of their works, which will be
utilized in case, of emergency at any
time.
A large number of farmers and citizens
inspected the exhibits of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad at the Beverly siding on
Wednesday afternoon. The many glass
jars contained all kinds of fruit, vege-
tables and grain and the car contained
the sanitary and modern Improvements
of barns and other farming equipment
attracted much attention.
Giving his employees an extra hour for
dinner in order that their presence might
not interfere with his plans, Dilwyn
Smith Stevenson committed suicide at
noon on Thursday by hanging himself
in the loft of barn used in local ex-
press service, of which he was proprietor.
His men, puzzled by the absence OF
their employer, began an investigation
that resulted in the discovery of his
body late that afternoon. A physician
was summoned and found that life had
been extinct for several hours. Business
troubles are thought to have prompted
his act.
At meeting of the township board OF
education, held on Monday night, resi-
dents of the South Beverly and Edge
water Park sections of Beverly township
presented petitions asking for the i'm
provement of educational facilities and
the erection of new $40, ZOO school
building in their end of the district
While the township is seeking to erect q
new school building, Beverly city is
urging Greater Beverly campaign by
which it would annex all of Beverly
township with the exception of DelancC
and erect new central high and gram
mar school building to accommodate al
pupils within the extended limits of thu
municipality.

WITH the adjournment of the Legis-
iature the first three months of James
Fielder's reign as Governor came to an
end and at the same time his full meas
ure as leader and man of influence
was taken. 1t will be remembered he
said that he aspired to follow in the foot
steps of President Wilson and be his
party's leader. The great things he
proposed to accomplish were published
all over the state. During his cleo
pioneering trip he told that he did not
want any of Jim Nugent's help, he was
going to show that he was a bigger man
than Nugent, but if the truth has been
told he has been compelled to give in to
some of Nngent's schemes and the latter
has shown that he is still alive. Perhaps
the strongest evidence of the utter fail
ure of Fielder to keep his party in line
has been in the utterances of the Phila-
delphia Record in its weekly letter from
Trenton. During President Wilson'S
term as Governor this letter contained
fulsome praise of the states executive
and showed that he was able to get what
he wanted in the way of legislation.
But the letters OF late have been more
apologize than praising. The last effu-
sion tells of how the 'bosses get a set
back" and then goes on TO tell how
Fielder even was not able to hold his
majority in line. Patronage did cut
some little figure as in the instance of
Assemblyman Nutting, of Essex, who
broke away from Nugent on the tax bill
and said he was committing political
suicide when he did it, but there was
ointment for him in the handing out of
the position of member of the Board of
Riparian Commissioners, with five wears
of service and 81, 800 per year salary
AS a leader Jim" Fielder has shown
his weakness, but there is little surprise
at the way in which things have turned
out. His action in several instances
while acting Governor gave evidence of
his vacillating character and he has not
induction into the Office of chief execu-
tive. The Record says 1T cannot be
said, however, that the history of the
1914 session of the Legislature can be
written down as one of the most brilliant
and effective the state has experienced.
Another paper says ut is absurd for the
Governor to blame any of his troubles
about legislation on the minority. All
of his troubles, so far as administration
measures are concerned, arises from his
inability to impose his leadership upon
the Democratic members of the Legisla-
ture. The majority must bear the con
sequences of the Fielder-Nugent scraps
and deals.

BEFORE and after. What difference
it makes sometimes. There was an cleo
ton in the seventh Congressional dis
trict of this state on Tuesday to select a
successor to Democrat who had died
while in Office. The Republican nomi-
nee in Tuesdays contest was Dow IL.
Drukker. the Democrat running against
him was James J. O'Byrne. The result
was the election of Drukker by over
5000 plurality. O'Byrne came near
being defeated by the Socialist candi-
date, beating the latter by less than 200.
This contest was one in which the adj
ministration at Washington was much
interested. President Wilson sent out
letter endorsing the Democratic candi-
date and asking that he be supported as
an evidence of the confidence the people
of this state have in the acts of the
President. Two Democratic United
States Senators came to New Jersey to
appeal for votes for the Democrat. One
of them said it would be an insult to
President Wilson to elect the Republi-
can, and the other man said it would be
great indignity to the administration
to send any but Democrat to Congress
from that district. So, taking the Pres
ident's own letter, and the speeches of
the emissaries from Washington, there
is but one conclusion and that is that
President Wilson has been rebulxed in
his own state. But the report comes
from the National capital that secretary
Tumulty cannot see anything to be dis
mayed over. as the district was Repub-
and President Wilson, while disappoint-
ed, does not feel that he has been given
a setback. So there you have it, before
and after.

SENATOR Nichols is said to have de-
clared that he is still in the race for the
Congressional nomination for the second
district. Soon after Ike as Senator,
aided in the passage of Democratic
measures, it was reportedlhe was to have
good position, the SUPPLEMENTARY of
the Soldiers Home at Kearny being
mentioned. This did not materalize,
but last week the former Senator from
Cumberland was placed on the State
Board of Health at yearly salary of
$500. Thus does virtue get it's reward.
SATISFACTION was expressed in all
circles when it was announced that the
New Jersey Legislature had finished its
work on Thursday and had adjourned.
Many laws were put on the statute books
but none of the important measuses so
glibIy promised during the campaign by
the Democratic candidate for Governor
were enacted. The thoughts by day and
the dreams by night of Fielder appeared
to be tax" and all sorts of schemes to
prevent a state tax were proposed. One
of the most foolish propositions and one
which has been severely condemned is
the law compelling those desiring to fish
to take out license. To make matters
appear easier the law has been SO framed
that the gunner who pays $1.15 for his
license gets additional permission to fish,
and the fisherman, paying the same
amount, gets license to gun. Women
and children under 16 years of age are
exempt from punishment for infraction
of the law. A tax ON bank stock and
a law compelling every person to whom
bequest is made to pay tax for that
privilege were also enacted to remove
Fielder's tax nightmare. But the inn
portant pledges of the Democrats were
allowed to go by default. And thus
endeth the first session of Fielder's adj
ministration.

After bitter campaign in which all
the artillery of the administration was
brought to bear in favor of the Demo-
cratic candidate, Drukker, Republican,
won the Seventh New Jersey Congress
'sional district by majority about equal
to the total vote of his Democratic OPP
ponent. The Socialist candidate was
good third, while the Progressive was
nowhere.
The administration reply to this is
that the district was normally Republi-
can anyhow, but the deceased Demo-
cratic member carried it less than two
years ago by majority of over 1000. A

TUESDAY, APRIL IA, 1914

THE result in the Seventh Congress
ional district does not seem to fill the
Progressives with glee.
PRESIDENT WILSON seems to find Il
crumb of comfort in the fact that a
Democratic Congressman was elected in
Massachusetts, ON Tuesday, but if re-
ports are correct the new man is opposed
to the repeal of the tolls bill which is
attracting much attention just now.
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1914-04-14

party S nominee polled nearly 5000 votes.
Tuesday he polled only a few more than
600. Republicans believe that the Pro-
gressives are coming back to their old
allegiance. Democrats fear this, for they
have not forgotten that even Woodrow
Wilson, who received a tremendous
electoral vote, is minority President,
in the sense that he received a smaller
popular vote than did his Republican
and Progressive opponents combined.
1t might be better if Mr.. Tumulty,
secretary to the President, had found
some other excuse for the result of Tues
days election in New Jersey than is set
forth in his assertion that "a strong Re-
publican district has gone Republican. y
Analysis of election statistics leads in
evitably to the conclusion that if the
Seventh is Republican the state of New
Jersey is Republican, and that if con-
ditions throughout the United States
are similar to those in New Jersey then
the country is Republican.-Nea0 York

Fairness to the Retailers.

For while after the beginning Of the
war in Europe there was considerable
hysteria in this country oyer the sky
rocket advances in some of the things
necessary to peOple's existence.
Much Indignation was manifested.
Some was righteous and some the re-
verse. Many we'll meaning people fast
ened upon the retailer larger portion
of the blame. They said he arbitrarily
looked upon the war as pretext for
making his price abnOrmally high.
Some people pointed to sugar as an ex-
ample of this.
Well, let us see about sugar. Shortly
before the war broke out the Eng llsh
government contracted in this country
for several hundred thousand bags of
sugar at So 90 a hundred pounds. At
this time the wholesale price was about
$3.50 per hundred. This had the effect
of increasing the wholesale price to
around $500 hundred. Thon shortly
after the war broke out England made
even heavier draft on this cOuntry's
store of sugar, paying another One-half
cent above the market price, making it
$3.50 per hundred. This increased the
wholesale cost up to seven cents. There
you are. What did the retailer have to
do with it?
Increased prices have been registered
on great many eatables since the great
armies of Europe clashed. This Is only
natural, when you come to think of it.
The great continent of the world is de-
voting all its energies to killing and
destroying instead of raising and build
ing up. Crops in South America were
not up to the usual standard this year.
This leaves America practically alone
in the task of feeding the world. With
such scarcity of food 1t would be little
less than miracle if prices were low.
One thing is sure: The retailer had
nothing to do with the increase, So far
as they are concerned never made any
money out of sugar and would be glad if
they didn't have to handle it at all.
But the retailer didn't cause the war.
He didn't cause the crops to fail i'll
South America. He does not control
the crops in this country. So don't
blame the retailer for the high cost of
living
