Just los Years Ago.

Just one hundred and five years
ago to-day was born a man who was
great. He was not born great, ne
did not become great, but was great
through natural instinct.
He was President of the United
States for four years, a month and
a day (figuratively speaking), and in
that time he never busted" any
trusts, never threatened members OF
Congress, never did anything that is
considered necessary in this advanced
age in order to keep in the lime
light.
In some ways he never did any
great things; certain it is that he
never sought to do great things.
He simply accepted them as they
came to him, and solved each one
according to his best judgment.
Just because he did this, and did
it better than anybody else probably
could have done, he has been set
down land JUSTIFY as the second of
the worlds greatest characters.
Next week we will tell you about
the other great man. This one was
Abraham Lincoln, one of the two
men whose names will pass on
through all ages.

Some More Taxes to Pay.

Governor Fielder, in a speech at
Trenton the other day, said it might
be necessary to lay state tax upon
New Jersey citizens, and we hope it
will. The heavier the better.
Just as soon as some administra-
ton lays a state tax upon the good
citizens of New Jersey, there will
be howl that will make about
ninety-eight per cent. of the practi-
cal politicians take to the tall timber
long enough for some solid business
men to come forward and do things.
When Woodrow Wilson was Cover
nor of the State he did a thousand
things to uplift us, but no one has
ever been able to discover the bene-
fit with a microscope. He favored
state tax, too, but he took no
chances on the presidency by urging
it unnecessarily.
Just as soon as a state tax is levied
the people will make a change of
administration so quickly that a cy-
clone would seem slow in COMPARE
son, and the next crowd (who
wouldn't be anybody that had ever
held office before) would reduce the
expenses of the state about forty
per cent. without hurting anything
except few overpaid and under
worked Office holders.
Hurry up the tax, James, if YOU
wish to retire.

Time Wasted in Lambertville

There's too much time wasted in Lambertville land in
thousands of other places discussing the trivial details of
the methods to be employed in boosting the community
time that should be used in doing the work itself
We know because we have helped waste some of it.
There's been discussions minor details of the cys
affairs when the same time and energy devoted promot
ed real results.
There's a Injecting of Men for Men" held every
Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Sunday After
noon League, and it's mighty good work. too Never
mind worrying minor details to whether it too
religious not religious enough, or whether there
more of denomination there than OF another but just
get busy and be there yourself.
lot of people really doing things for Lambert
Vile but their methods vary whole lot Some of the
methods don't jbe with ideas for bit but the
people sincere and they accomplishing something
so why worry?
The humbest citizen who lives honorably pays his
debts treats his fellow man square, and good word
for the town whenever opportunity offers, is real bene
Whenever you hear somebody knocking Lambertvle
don't waste your time CHS don't count arguing with him.
but let him alone You say the good words. His will
only act as boomerang, anyway
People who knock town continually usually buy their
things somewhere ese anyway and IT they should take it
into their silly heads to get up and go somewhere ese the
community would be able to add something to the asset
side Of its ledger.
Next week we are going to tell you why the Coryels
Ferry Community is greater than Lambertvie and why
Lambertvle is the greater for being part of the Cory
ellis Ferry Community It's little story that runs back
two hundred years. and it deals with people that you
know of.
