Cutting Expenses.

| The Pennsylvania Railroad COMPANY
has started a system of retrenrhmen
and the passenger train service 4 beinl
made the objective point at the start
There is nothing surprising about thi
as it is a well-known fact that if {
railroad company, with the possible ex
ception of few profitable branches, wa:
compelled to live off it's passenger
traffic it would have to go out of bust
ness. 1t is the freight that pays and the
condition of business at the present
time, is not encouraging.
The full-crew law, one of the most
foolish pieces of legislation enacted, has
not served to reduce expenses. On every
train where full crew is required to be
on duty the extra brakeman may be
seen idly sitting in the car with abso-
Iutely nothing to do but to draw his
breath and his pay.
The retrenchment proposed by the
railroad company will not affect the road
between Pemberton and Camden to any
great extent although it will result in
the withdrawal of several trains. The
train that has been leaving Long Branch
at 7.25 Sunday morning and returning
from Philadelphia at 3.25 in the after
noon will be withdrawn. Ten trains
that ran from Browns Mills to Brown s
Mills Junction will stop running, and
eight trains on the Island Heights
branch will 60 out of business. Those
who want to go to theatre matinees and be
sure of being on time must take the troll
ley or else go ON the 1924 train as the
11.41 to Philadelphia will go out of ser
vice and the train formerly leaving
Philadelphia at 800 in the afternoon
hot hear
scheduled to North Pemberton are now
on the list as regular to Birmingham
only but they will continue to Browns
Mills as extras" stopping at South
Pemberton. The Lakewood special will
also stop running after Monday, April
IL: The other changes mentioned will
take place tomorrow.

Beaten into insensibility and badly
cut and bruised, Michael Tantori, aged
"a years, was brought from Burlington
to the Mount Holly hospital on Saturday
night, and yesterday afternoon was sent
to Jail. He had made improper proposals
to Mrs. Rosa Ditullio, who repealed him
and told her husband about the mans
actions. Infatuated on account of the
woman having done this, Tantori entered
Ditullio's house in Burlington at supper
time, on Saturday, and shot twice at
Mrs. Ditullio, one bullet entering her
arm, the other grazing her cheek. The
husband, thinking his wife had been
killed, leaped upon the intruder, regard
less of the revolver, and, with the assist
ance of another Italian who was present,
gave the man such beating and kick
ing that it was necessary to take him to
the hospital to be patched up.

PRESBYTERIAN Church.

The every member-canvass" in the
parish of the First Presbyterian church
is resulting most favorably, not only in
financial way but in still larger way
IN stimulating a general interest in the
church and its work. Only partial re
port could be rendered on last Sunday
morning, as there still remain quite a
number to hear from and some of the
canvassers' lists have not yet been re-
ceived by the committee of seven. The
outlook in these respects1s very hopeful
and encouraging.
The everybody go-to-church-Sunda
observance was very distinct success,
the attendance throughout the day at all
services being large and spledid joyful
spirit prevailing. Many were privileged
to worship in the church who by in
trinity or other unavoidable cause had
been denied that great pleasure for years
these were brought in automobiles
kindly placed at the disposal of the
church by various members. There was
much JOY and satisfaction created by
the presence of these. Then there were
Others who came who everybody was de-
lighted to see and who evidently enioyed
the services very much. There was a
large and an enthusiastic meeting of the
Bible school, with one of the largest Of
ferings that has been received in
years. All told the day proved to be a
very delightful and inspiring one for
this church.
Next Sunday will be the anniversary
occasion of the minister's coming to
Mount Holly.

Bishop Scarborough's Successor

Much has been published about the
successor to the late Bishop Scarborough
and several names have been mentioned
in connection with this subject. The
following letter will give some light on
the matter:
To the Editor of THE NEWS:
Many persons, besides the members
of the Church in the Diocese of New
Jersey, are interested in the cleo
ton of a successor to the late Bishop
Scarborough Some words of explain.
alton as to the time and method OF
such election will not be out of place
and may prevent some misunderstood
ing. The election of Bishop will take
place at the annual convention in May,
or at a special convention called for that
particular purpose. In that election
each clergyman economically resident in
the Diocese, has vote, and each par.
ish, represented by lay delegates, has
one vote. The person to be elected Bish.
OPP must have majority of the clerical
vote and of the lay vote, each order vot
ing separately.
1t is quite possible that an election
may be made at the convention in May
and it is equally possible that the
election may be postponed to special
convention to be held later in the year
Until the convention meets and some
action is taken it is quite impossible tC
even guess who is likely to be chosen
The names of different clergymen APP
pear from time to time in public prin
as possible candidates. This mean
nothing more than that some friend ha:
thought that this man or the othe
would be fit for the position. Probabl,
the man who will be elected Bishop ha
not yet been mentioned, as no one ha
either the right or the wisdom to fore
cast the action of a convention nearly
month and half away.
Truly yours,

The Water Supply.

The Board of Health of Northampton
township held meeting Thursday even.
ing and after discussing matters OF
minor importance, took up the subject
of the water supply in Mount Holly. 1t
was reported that there is case OF
typhoid fever in Pemberton and the
Board recommended that drinking water
be given the closest attention.
While at all times open to suspicion
OF contamination the water, at this time,
is worthy of particular watchfulness.
With the drainage from fields skirtin G
the creek flowing over the banks there is
a chance of much deleterious matter
getting into the stream. While it is
contended that the filter removes all i'm
perfections the Board of Health wants to
impress upon the consumer that to be
on the safe side every drop of drinking
water should be boiled.
There has been considerable Complaint
from consumers about the filthy con-
d1tlon OF the hot water that is taken
from the splgots in residences. There
does not seem to be much use IN making
complaint to the superintendent about

be satisfactory to all concerned, and as
it is great advantage to the manage

to use the grounds, will cooperate with
them in making an early schedule.

Political Notes.

Governor Fielder has reappointed
| William +. Morgan member OF the Bur-
lington County Board of Taxation. Mr..
Morgan has given three years to the
work of this board and has shown him.
self to be thoroughly acquainted with
many problems that needed correction.
Especially in the assessment of the
property of corporations did he make
himself familiar. Mr.. Morgan has been
heartily congratulated on succeeding
himself.
When Assemblyman Peacock succeed
ed in getting from the committee his
bill requiring ten verses of the Bible to
be read in the public school each day,
an amendment was offered that the
reading shall be done by regular clergy
man residing in the school district, pro-
viding that all the clergymen in the
school district, including all denomina-
tons, shall officiate in regular turns.
This amendment will about kill the bill
1t is hardly likely that clergymen will
be found who will be able, although will
ing, to devote the time that would be
required for the services mentioned.
Take the country districts. 1t would
make it necessary for a clergymen in
some of the outlying townships to hire
a team to get to the schools which are
two or three miles in the country In
Burlington where there are schools scat
tered all over the city, more than one
clergyman would have to be ON duty
daily. In Mount Holly it would not be
possible to gather all of the pupils in the
auditorium every morning, and it would
require about twenty ministers every
morning to read the Bible. Even if the
children could be assembled in the audi
forum there would be great loss of
time going to and from the place. If it
were possible to divide them up in
classes for different rooms in the five
buildings now occupied there would
have to be at least six clergymen on
duty every morning. The whole thing
has the appearance of an attempt to kill
Mr.. Peacock's bill and unless it can go
through as he presented it, there would
be no harm done in putting it away.
Better let matters rest as they now are
in majority of the schools where each
teacher is required to read the Bible, and
where, if Mount Holly is to be taken as
an example, she does what she is told to
do.
