Leon Carpenter takes a gentle
jab at the city of Lambertville in
his last weeks Clinton Democrat
that is not warranted by the facts.
In substance, he says that nothing
important enough to chronicle has
happened in this city since 1876,
and we Indignantly deny the allega-
ton. To our own personal knoWl-
edge Leon himself has been here
several times, and we are equally
sure that it wasn't prior to 1876.
So, why say nothing important has
happened when Brother Carpenter
has visited the town?

Another Kitchin.

When we read last weeks Sat-
urday Evening Post our eyes espied
an article throughout which the
name Kitchin was sprinkled freely.
1t particularly declared that he was
laxative, argumentative and always
ready to speak his mind upon any
occasion, even though it might be
necessary to wake him up in the
middle of the night to do it.
Just as we were wondering what
brother editor was giving away
fraternal secrets, we discovered
that the Kitchin in question was
not the editor of the Lambertville
Record, but Claude Kitchin, Con-
gresham from North Carolina,
who may be majority leader of the
House of Representatives next
session.

We don't know Of any direct re-
lationship, although Brother Hazen,
of the Lambertville Beacon, Brother
Killgore, of the Hunterdon County
Democrat, Brother Carpenter, of
the Clinton Democrat, and Brother
Rush, of the Glen Gardener Ava
lanche, assure US, confdentially, of
course, that the descriptive part
might fit a twin brother.
But, it is some other Kitchin,
nevertheless.

Things are in sad way up in
Pennington, since Brother Killgore
of the Hunterdon County Democrat,
became mixed up in the dance
argument. Last weeks editorial
column contained more Bible quota

aud we don't know that the question
is disposed of, yet.

One reason Lambertville was
disconsolate Monday was the absence
of the famous "Peedoodle," which
rambles over from Pennington
three times each day, but which
failed to ramble on the day in
question. Conductor Harry Van
Horn hasn't ever told us so, (but
we feel quite sure he would if it
wasn't for mourning the virtuous
wrath of Brother Killgore) but we
are almost certain that if it wasn't
for visiting Lambertville three times
day he would never be able to
survive the solemn dignity of the
county seat town.

Our Peace Gathering

o. ,oo+ Thursday there was gathered in meeting
~ NV Of Iambertvile one hundred men, representing
oru RELIGIOUS denomination, every shade OF politics
nd Of wide variance of opinion on most ordinary TOPICS
ot co harmonious its actions as TO make Andrew Gar
,ooco conferences seem like bowling riots by
parison.
This gathering we speak of was the seventy eighth
annual meeting of the LambertVlle VlgllanI society,"
Not a dscordant note was heard, and every thing
was agreed to unanimously including the election OF ot
GERS.
For the thrtv-thrd consecutive time Samuel A Finger
was elected secretary for the twenyseventh consecutive
time was Walter F. Hayhurs elected president and Robert
M Dlts vicepresdent. Few organizations IN America
can show such continuity in office and without opposition
It lust occurred to u.s. while sitting in the meeting
that similar unanmy of action among the thousands of
people in the Coryes Ferry Community seven-mile circle
surrounding Lambertvle) would double that population
within five years.
It would make us such community as has never be-
fore been seen.
1t would focus upon us the approving eyes Of the
whole world, and the eulogy Of nations.
It would make prosperous and happy that peo-
pie would beg the privilege of moving into the territory
1t would give us Hunterdon county trolley service
electric lighted and macadamized roads, universal tee
phone SERVICE and thousand other things that was
even expected for Lambertville in 1850.
When stop to think about it. it seems an awfully
foolish thing to spend nnetenths of time and energy
dsputng the way that some other fellow has of doing
thing when we might help him do it and benefit ourselves
by SO doing.
If city official attempts to do things we usually
knock him because he butts in where we think he does
not belong and if he doesn't do things we knock him
because ne is too timid or has been bought off,

ing to run down miscreants who have
been stealing horses from the main
streets down town every night. The
few remaining "cabbies" are the vic
tins of these horse thieves, who, the
police believe, are jokers who have

The stealing of automobiles for
awhile was serious thing. 1t was

ties were imposed on all convicted.
This, it is thought, let to some joyous

tle."
Anyway, on and after October
1914, the famous Elgin dairy district,
lying in the northeastern counties OF
Illinois, will find itself under a drastic
Federal quarantine that will practi-
cally put an end to cattle shipping
into or out of that district for any
purpose other than that of immediate
slaughter.
We don't like trusts very much. We
never have. If such a trust can be
proved to exist and if the person, or
persons, who are back of such a trust,
as it is alleged, can be found-we
think here is a justification for the
personal guilt theory of dealing with
trusts.
Under this theory, the men who are
behind the trust would be liable to
punishment, individually, for any
thing the trust does. Shipping and
selling tuberculous cattle, knowingly,
is manslaughter, as we see it. The
engineer who makes a mistake in his
train orders and carries his passen-
gers to death faces a charge of man.
slaughter. That's just an accident.
A man, or men, who will knowingly
run clearing house for tubercular
cattle, is just as surely killing in an
indirect way as the man at the en-
gine's throttle who mis-reads his or
ders. And in one case, it's just an ac-
cident.

Deserted as they never were before
in their histories, Wall and Broad
streets today present an unusual ap-
pearance-at least to one who has
watched the activities there for the
last few years. Grass isn't growing
on the once too wildly busy thorough
fares but that is about all one can
say in favor of them. Dead they are
at least dead if one were to compare
them to the once busy scenes on these
streets. No messenger boy rushes by;
no broker leans from his window to
yell buying or selling orders to a sub
ordinate; no speculator rushes madly
along, brushing passers-by this way
and that; in fact none of the scenes
usual to these streets-famous as the
worlds centers for trading-are seen
nowadays. Far across the sea a
million or more men are engaged in
deadly combat. Because of this hun
dreds of clerks and office boys and
stenographers here are idle.
Soon after the close of the New
York Stock Exchange, due to the war
in Europe, brokers here began to
shut up shop" Most of them simply
dismissed their employees until further
notice and locked up their doors. A
few of them dismissed all but one or
two employees and still keep their Of
fees open. But these are few.
The hundreds of idle clerks, stenog
raphers, telegraphers and office boys
wander along the streets daily. They
are all there is left to remind one OF
the former busy days along these
streets. Most of these employees are
now at the point where they must |
either have work or starve. They had |
small savings accounts but the en-
forced idleness of several weeks has /
eaten those slender funds up. The sit
uation that confronts them is a des
perate one and one that demands i'm
mediate attention. The brokers re-
fuse to take any responsibility what
soeyer.
What could we do? said one, when
his attention was called to the jobless
hundreds. I'VE are in the same fix.
Our offices cost us in the neighbor-
hood of 500 day. When we are do
ing no business that is a terrific ex-
pense and one that We cannot main
.ain. We simply have to shut up shop
and wait for the war to end. And,
90, we have the interest on our seats
n the Exchange to pay. l bought my

The week beginning, October 5, has
been designated as "bat the rat" week
in Kansas. During that week every
one is expected to kill all the rats to
be found about his premises. Besides
the danger to health, it is estimated
that the economic losses from food
consumed and wasted by rats on Kan
sas farms amounts to 31a million dol
lars year.
1t wouldn't be bad idea for the en-
tire country to start "bat the rat
campaign as the swat the fly" has

National airs are strictly tabooeG
at all places where men and women
alike congregate in New York. The
reason for this is very plain. The
war across the big pond has aroused
everyone-or nearly everyone-to
such a point that they take sides and
there are several little wars" or
duels, one might say, daily in Ney
York that arise as a result of quarrel
ing over the big war in Europe.
Partisans on one side or another
took to requesting of orchestras in
cafes to play a martial tune of the
country they favor. The orchestra
leaders very foolishly did this-for
awhile. Near riots resulted every
time an orchestra started to play the
"Marseillaise" or any other war tune.
There always happened to be some
representatives of the other side pres
ent and they Immediately wanted to
start fight. 1t wasn't long until the
cafe owners saw that all the national
airs, except the good U. S. A. tunes
would have to be barred from their
places. There were too many brawls
every time French, German or Eng
lish air was played.
