of High street, was buried in the Mount
Holly cemetery Thursday afternoon.

here in the near future, when the Broth
erhood of America will hold public
meeting in Grange hall, on Stacy street,
followed by parade of 500 members of
the order from various parts of Burling-
ton county. There will be present near
ly all the state officers of the order and a
number of members from Camden and
Trenton. The public meeting held at
various places in the state every year.

pliment to Hamlet Poole, one of the in
stitutors of the local lodge, William
Penn Circle, No. 38, for years one of the
leading members and who made fight
againt the Supreme branch of the or
der when that body tried to increase the
death assessment fee from fifty cents to
a dollar. Poole made test case out of
the stand taken by the Grand Lodge
He himself fought the national body,
having Frank Katzenbach, of Trenton,
to handle the case. Poole won out, it
being victory that was benefit to
every member of the order. No mem
Der of any other order who ever fought
the national body ever won out,
and Poole, on account of the con-
quest of that body attracted the atten-
ton of every lodge in the United States.
Poole will be thirty-one years married
on the 9th instant, the night of the
big celebration, and the affair will be in
the nature of double celebration.
Many brass bands will be in the parade,
and the local and state members of the
order will meet to do honor to Poole and
help celebrate the wedding anniversary.

MAKE NOTES DUE ON BANK
FAILURE.

The near approach of May and the
session Of the General Assembly is
arousing every one to interest at this
fresh chance to tinker with old laws
or plan for making new ones. Among
those of the latter class should be i'm
provements in the banking laws, more
clearly defining many points now far
from certain.
Recent experience has shown that
it would be a good thing to have a
statute similar to one in force in Texas
and other states, namely, that upon
the failure of bank, all notes due that
institution Immediately become due
and payable. Although this would
work hardships upon many, it need
not do so necessarily, as extension of
time could always be granted where it
was thought safe and expedient by the
receiver, while a fruitful source of
loss would be cut of.
AS matters are now, notes due bank
in liquidation are allowed to run out
their full time, giving the drawer am
pie time, If so inclined, to put his prop
erty into such shape that it is impossi-
BILE to collect the note Thus the re.
puted assets Of bank dwindle through
no fault of the liquidators, The other
plan would protect depositors and
stockholders, the innocent bystanders
who suffer all the injury, through loss
in cases of bank failure.

GREAT JEWS.

A popular magazine recently men,
toned the coincidence that on the
same day that Beiliss the Jew was on
trial charged with ritual murder, Sir
Rufus Isaacs, another Jew, was taking
the oath as Lord Chief Justice of
England. The magazine neglected to
say that the acquittal Of Beiliss was
as great a race triumph In it's way as
was the promotion of Isaacs.
Since then, in the latter part Of Feb
ruary, at Washington, D. c., there pass
ed away from earth another Jew, whose
services were to humanity at large.
This was Joseph Fels, who becoming
convinced that land monopoly is at
the root of all economic evils, and that
the single tax theory advanced by
Henry George is the remedy for this
monopoly, devoted great wealth en-
tirely to the promotion and promulga-
ton Of the George ideas. Mr.. FEELS
proposed to match dollar for dollar,
every sum contributed to the single tax
propaganda, but his zeal fast outstrip-
ped the generosity of others, and in
course Of time he devoted the major
part of his immense income to advance
the single tax. Besides sending it's
books and tracts into all civilized coun.
tries for the instruction Of all thinking
peoples, Mr.. FEELS also travelled and
leCtured for the cause so dear to him.
He lived long enough to see the
single tax a success In British Colum.
bia, and on trial in a number of cities
of the United States, not to mention
more or less awakened interest In
this theory of taxation everywhere.
Joseph Fels was a great Jew, great
er than all Jews Of modern times, be-
cause he labored not merely for his
own people, but for all humanity-the
glorious brotherhood of man.

BATON ROUGE SHOULD BE STATE
CENTER.

The Baton Rouge State-Times makes
the suggestion that in the shake-up,
resulting from the removal of the state
bank examiner, it should be arranged
that the state banking department
be located at the capital in future We
heartily endorse the suggestion, and
hope that this will be done
All like departments should be To-
Gated at the state capital, not only be-
cause 1t tends to convenience in the
administration Of business, but it adds
dignity to the city chosen by the state
for its official center
The Supreme Court should be Iocat-
ed at Baton Rouge, and when Louisi-
ana is rich enough to erect a fitting
edif1ce to house that court, we hope to
see 1t there. If any thing is to be
made honorable, it must be made
worthy of honor; and as the state
capital is made of more Importance,
30 does it rise in dignity. and the re-
spect of all men,

AS w. l.. Young declined to resign
as state bank examiner, Governor Hall
formally ordered his removal for in
subordination.
Mr.. Young has begun his fight against
removal by filing a petition praying
for peremptory mandamus directed
to Governor Hall, revoking the gov
errors order of removal on the ground
that the action of the governor was
unconstitutional, unwarranted, illegal,
null and void" The case is set for
trial on next Thursday, March 10, by
Judge Brunot.

REPEATING HISTORY.

That was brave little raid that the
Texas Rangers made the other day
across the borders of the Lone Star
State to bring back the body of tor
tured and murdered citizen. And though
as little is said about it as possible
publicly, being treated very much as
a Joke Is ignored at funeral yet the
deed is no less a heroic one, and a
most notable achievement
1t is limited strongly that 1t embar-
rasses the State department. This
may be so. The State department
should feel embarrassed that of the
over one hundred citizens of the Unit
ed States, the list of whom was cited
the other day in Congress, either muir
dered, injured or imprisoned in MeXl'
CO, that the only attempt at rescue OF
any of these is this sortie Of the gal
liant Texas Rangers. Their act was
unauthorized, but it will be passed
over. 1t reminds the reader Of Louisi
ana history of the expedition made
from st. Francisville by Gen. Phile
mon Thomas and his little band Of
soldiers when they captured the Span
ish fort at Baton Rouge. 1t was done
without orders. But it was such gal
liant affair-it succeeded-no blood
was shed-the INSTRUMENTATION was ig
nored.

FLY KILLING TIME.

This is it. When an occasional warm
day thrusts aside the remains of win
ter, one is apt to see a fly or two feebly
crawling on the window pane, 1t is
hardly a nuisance, and one scarcely
Things 1t worth while to swat the little
creature. But that fly is the portent
of millions of flies in July.
Kill 1t now, and though its possible
brood may not be missed later, it is
no less true that the millions have
been destroyed.
This is fy-killing time therefore.

For the first time, probably, in over
thousand years, the Eastern branch
and q Western branch of the Catholic
Church worshipped together in the
same service. This took place in ST.
Johns Episcopal Church, Bridgeport
Conn, when the priest of the Russian
Church served at the altar with the
rector. Not since the year Of "the
great schism," A. D. 900, has there
been a union of service.

OPENING FOR STATE SCHOOL
FOR NEGROES.

Baton Rouge State-Times:
With eight plows, manned by stu
dents and instructors, preparing
ground for planting and a number of
students acting as workmen in the
construction Of the remaining temper
airy buildings, Southern university, the
negro industrial school, opened at its
new site on SCOTS Bluff, north Of Bat
on Rouge, presented a scene of activi-
ty Tuesday morning
About 70 students are enrolled for
the first work Of the school, and appli-
cations of many other students will
have to be refused during this session
on account Of inadequate equipment.
One of the temporary buildings has
been completed, and the other will be
finished this week. The II cabins on
the place have been renovated and
will be occupied by the students and
instructors for the present.
The work of planting between 100
and 200 acres of land in corn was be-
gun. The corn will. be used to feed the
hogs, mules, and COWS to be secured
for the agricultural department. The
construction of a model dairy to pro-
vide milk for the school will be started
Immediately. A silo is planned for
construction next fall. A truck farm
will be laid out and the students will
raise truck for their own consumption
and for the market.
Work in the blacksmith and wood
shops will be started at once, and the
students will employ their time In
working both for the school and for
the surrounding country. The shop will
be advertised, and farmers can bring
their horses to be shod, plows to be
sharpened, wagons to be repaired, etc.
all at at reasonable cost
The several women instructors were
on hand to begin the work of the do
mestic science department. In this de
partment practical instruction in cook
ing, sewing, sanitation and home econ
omics will be given
at strikes me that this was an I'm
portant day in the education of negroes
in this state" said Superintendent o.
Education Harris, in commenting upor
the opening. There has been a grea
deal OF comment about illiteracy IL
this state, and about the reasons FOL
such conditions. But there is only one
reason for this illiteracy, and that Ii
that only so negroes out of every 10(
can read and write. Practically all O
the white people can read and write.
I'VE are going to show that the ne
gro who is given elementary training
in books and is then taught to worl
will be better citizen than the igno
