The Prudential First.

Each year for the past sixteen year.
the Prudential has led all life insurance
companies in New Jersey in new business
In 1913 the amount of life insurance
issued and revived in New Jersey bv the
Prudential exceeded $40, 900, 600 on nearly
100000 policies.
The claims paid by the Prudential in
New Jersey in 1918 were over 50, zoo, 900.
a greater sum than that paid by any
other company.
This leadership of the Prudential in its
home state is an indication of the con-
fidence which the people of New Jersey
have in the Prudential. The Prudential
has in force in New Jersey over LAOS, 900
policies, number greater than one-half
the population of the State, and the in
surance in force is over 270 million
dollars. These are interesting figures
and particularly demonstrate the popu-
larity of Industrial insurance as first
established ON this continent by the
Prudential in New Jersey in 1915.

The laws of cause and effect are strik-

the Governor. The donation of $1,000,
600 to establish an institution of medical
research to learn of and prevent disease,
rejected by the Governors veto, and the
scurry through the county to collect
enough money to erect an establishment
in this township for mental defects,
which action is welcomed by the state,
would indicate ''reversion" or throw
back" since modern scientific thought
endorses the axiom that prevention is
better than cure" The worth of a thing
is known by the want and the danger
that is despised arrives the sooner. To
prevent defects, or provide safe harbor
for the results of their excuses, is the
problem confronting the community.
Smallpox at Pemberton! and this
township consisting of native citizens,
Hebrews and Italians, how are they
safeguarded? All foreigners have been
vaccinated, which is the recognized pre-
tentative, whilst about half dozen
natives, against the advice of their
neighbors, also secured this immunity
There are also about half a dozen badly
managed and poorly attended schools in
this township, and an American flag has
never been raised on any of them, SO
that from a pedagogic, patriotic and
hygienic standpoint much missionary
work is needed here.

ONE OF Burlington county's most sue
cessful politicians, as soon as one cam
paign was closed, would begin the next
morning after election to get ready for
the next contest The idea appears to
be good one and it is time now to get
down to business. There are many
things that may be considered with
profit. 1t will not take long for year
to roll around and we will have candi-
dates for the various offices. One of the
subjects that could be given very careful
attention is how to prevent waste of
time in the sessions of the Legislature.
Take the record of the body that has
just finished its labors and see how much
of real importance has been done. AS
one gentleman has expressed it there
was too much Johnny-boy legislation. f"
Bills were introduced with no idea of
their getting through either House, in
that they were not to come out of COM
mittee. One of the most farcical bills
was that which had for its purpose the
fixing of standard of qualification for
members of Boards of Education. The
fact that candidates had not gone
through the grammar grade of school
was enough to make them incompetent
to attend to the business of the school
district. The requirement that candi-
dates must have attained the equivalent
of what is known as an eighth grade
school examination sounds very rich.
The general tendency has been to make
up Boards of Education of men and
women who, through their professional
or other experiences in the walks of life
have acquired knowledge of general
conditions sufficient to qualify them fol
a business-like administration of educa-
tional affairs. That is all we need. II
can safely be left to the people who pay
the bills to choose those whom they think
competent to conduct their affairs. 1t is
not always the college graduate who
makes the most successful business man

Court.

NOuIl.
Judge Lippincott held his weekly ses-
sion of court Thursday The business
was mainly Orphans court matters.
One interesting proposition was where
an account was offered for settlement
and lawyer appeared who claimed to
hold an assignment of the share of the
estate in question. The man who made
the assignment was not only partici-
pant in the estate but was the admins
traitor. The lawyer contended that the
account could not be properly passed
until the assignment had been satisfied,
but objections were raised to this idea
on the ground that the claim was not
against the estate but against an in
dividual and that suit must be brought
to recover the amount of the assignment
after the administrator had settled and
had received his share of the estate. The
parties got together and made some sort
of an arrangement that was not given
out.
Judge Lippincott, in approving an ac-
count in which the Burlington County
Safe Deposit and Trust Company was
interested, said he felt perfectly right in
passing on this matter as he has resign
ed as solicitor and director of the COM
pany, and had not been consulted in the
matter before him.
Action on widows pensions was laid
over until the Dist of May.
A caveat has been filed against the

Elmer Turner was brought in from the
| Jail for sentence on the charge of set
ting fire to the barns of Herbert Marter,
near Moorestown. Last week Turner
admitted having caused the fire but said
it was an accident, the sparks from Gig
arctic being the cause. Since that time,
however, Turner has told different
story. Prosecutor Atkinson set Detec-
tive Parker at work and evidence was
secured to show that the boy did not tell
the truth in his first story. When con-
fronted with what Parker had discover
ed Turner confessed. He said he work
ed for Mr.. Marter for a long time and
that the latter did not treat him well,
calling him names and telling Others to
do the same. He said he could not &C
along the streets without being called
offensive names by persons who had
been urged on by Marter. At first he
though he would get even with MarteI
by fighting him, but as the farmer was
the larger man Turner concluded he
would not make out very well at that SC
he decided to burn the barns. He touch.
ed lighted match to some straw and
then ran away. The boy was in Jail on
a sentence for stealing money from a
companion and it was while he was serv-
ing this sentence that the Prosecutor
gained information leading him to sus-
pect Turner of burning the barns. Judge
Lippincott sentenced the defendant tc
not less than eighteen months nor more
than three years in the state prison.

CHESTNUT STREET OPERA HOUSE
Orpheum Players in "Our Wives"
The Orpheum Players this week will
produce one of the greatest comedy sue
cesses of the past few years at b. f.
Keith's Chestnut Street Opera House,
and yet a play which has never been
presented in Philadelphia. This is ''Our
Wives" a comedy by Frank Mandel
and Helen Kraft, adopted from Viennese
sources. "Our Wives is the story of
four young men who form an alliance
against women. All are jolly bachelors,
and it is determined that the qAartette
are never to break up. They work to-
gether, camp together and live together.
One of them is writer of comic operas.
In the first act he is terribly ANNOYED
by someone playing the piano upstairs.
He sends his servant to tell the offender
to stop. The servant returns and an
nounces that the piano player is coming
down to find out who dares to object to
the playing. The piano player is an
nounced simply as Wilson" and turns
out to be a charming and beautiful
young woman In very amusing scene
the librettist learns that the piano PLAYER
is also an ambitious writer, and he and
Wilson form a literary partnership
with the understanding that personali-
ties are not to enter into the matter. She
is to call him Paste" and he is to call
her Wilson. This arrangement, which
is entered into without the acknowledge
ment of the other three men, is brought
to an amusing climax when one after
another each of the men confesses that
he has secretly become engaged to be
married. The second act shows a re-
union some months later of the quar-
tette with Paste" and Wilson" still
friends. They have learned to love each
other, though neither realizes it. The
three wives of the other three young.
men call at the apartment for dinner
and then in highly amusing scene the
author shows what happens when three
men try to make their wives be friends
The three contrasting types of youn g
women do not harmonic, and finall Y
the party breaks up in grand 70 W. In
the last act Wilson" and Paste COM
plete their efforts together, and just when
it seems as though they are to part for
ever, they realize that they love each
other. adv

Press Comments.


1t is announced that ex-President
William Howard Taft, who is president
L of the American Bar Association, is
making a special effort to enlist the
active agency of that powerful organiza-
ton against the ''recall'' movement, es-
pecially as it relates to the Judiciary. 1t
is we'll known that Mr. Taft has been
keenly interested in this question ever
since it was first raised, and he has often
expressed his belief that the movement
| involved sinister and dangerous at
tack on the independence of the judges
of our courts.
This idea has apparently been gen.
orally accepted by enlightened public
opinion throughout the country, and
this probably accounts for subsistence
of the agitation ON the question to an
extent that leaves it no longer one of
anxiety. For this reason it may be felt
that the active campaign against the re-
call of the judiciary which Mr.. Taft is
endeavoring to inaugurate, while its
motive is highly commendable, is hard
ly worth while.-Pdterson Press
New York city has just sold large
issue of A per cent. bonds at premium
of nearly Il per cent. The New York
Central Railroad is endeavoring to sell
an important issue of Al per cent. bonds
and is willing to accept discount of
more than per cent.
The debt of New York city is vastly
greater as a municipal concern than is
the debt of the railroad. But, even if
the city's debt is greater than the entire
debt of the United States government,
investors still prefer its further obliga-
tions to the obligations of New York
states chief railroad system.
These two transactions measure the
fear which Americans feel in regard to
their large properties. They refuse to
buy the best railroad bonds because of
political and governmental interference
with the management of railroads.
Hence these investors choose to accept
far less income from their money and
purchase bonds of a city whose debt is
colossal.
The New York bond sale thus becomes
for the whole world powerful object
lesson. 1t proves the extent of injury
which our laws have brought upon our
own enterprises.
The heavy bidding forthese municipal
bonds also shows that the people have
vast sums of money to invest, but they
are only willing to invest in the secur-
tiles of a government. 1t is decidedly
unwholesome state of affairs for Ameri-
can business when the public, through
timidity, places it's money where it earns
the least.-Pubtic Ledger.
