ner'' not only was an inspiration-it is
an inspiration. 1t not only is patriotic
1t is patriotism itself.
Second: That the American Flag is
the symbol of the brotherhood of man.
IL stands for courage, for chivalry, for
generosity and honor. 1t is the emblem
OF freedom, of equity, of justice for every
person as it floats unvanquished, I'M
furnished over the open door of free
education.
Third: That we are living in an era of
great events but are earnestly looking
forward with confidence that the eyes of
all nations may be opened to the folly
and wickedness of war.
Fourth: That the highest patriotism
lies in conserving life and energy and
that war means not conservation but the
destruction of all that is best in civiliza-
ton.
on with your hat as the flag goes byl
Uncover the youngsters head,
Teach him to hold it holy and high,
For the sake of it's sacred dead"

Court.

Judge Carrow came to Mount Holly
on Tuesday and held court.
The suit of George and Alfred Chase,
OF Burlington, against the Riverside
Traction Company and the county of
Burlington, was taken up. This was the
third time this case had been heard
Last June the suit was progressing very
well when counsel for defence offered
testimony that was not provided for in
the pleadings, and the other side OBJ
jected, SO Judge Carrow agreed that the
matter should rest and that the defend
ants might introduce the testimony
later.
In 1911 the Pearl street bridge at Bur-
lington collapsed. Young Chase was in
wagon at the west end of the structure
and when the other end went down the
trolley feed wire struck the young man
and gave him a shock from which he
claims he has not yet recovered. The
wrecking of the bridge was laid to the
trolley company because one of its cars
jumped the track, thus causing the
bridge to 60 down, and the county was
brought into the case because it was
claimed it was in duty bound to provide
a bridge that would not so easily give
way to knocks administered by the troll
ley car.
The trolley company defended it's end
of the suit on the ground that the car
did not jump the track and was in it's
proper place when the bridge collapsed,
and that the whole fault was with the
county in not providing strong bridge
The latter held that the bridge was
strong enough TO take care of all weight
that was on it in proper shape.
The jury returned verdict of 81 ,175
| in favor of George Chase, the father, to
recompense him for his expenses. and
gave the young man 5000 for the dam
ages he had sustained. Both of these
amounts were put against the trolley
company, the jury deciding that the
county was not in any way responsible
On Thursday Judge Lippincott APP
proved several accounts in the Orphans
court. Robert Peacock instituted habeas
corpus proceedings to have George
| Power, of Vincentown, released from
Jail. George had been sent up on
charge of desertion. On examining the
case Judge Lippincott discovered that
the conviction was defective, and he or
dered the man released.
| Russell Woolston, who had pleaded
guilty to stealing revolver from man
in Moorestown, was brought before the
court. Russell had contended that he
did not take S. as charged, but he plead
ed guilty to the Indictment because he
didn't want to make no fuss" Judge
Lippincott had laid the case over for in
vestigation, and he decided that Russell
ought to be in charge of some one, so he
placed him in the care of the probation
officer, with instructions to pay the costs
within six months.

Political Notes.

Senator White spent few days in
Cape May county, last week. He is
well satisfied with the appearance of the
contest for the Congressional nomina-
ton down there.
The following petitions have been filed
by candidates for office in Mount Holly:
Township committee - Republican.
Howard f. Alcott, Christian j. Krayer,
DIR. f. ID. Prickitt. Democratic, Tilden
H. Bedwell, Harvey f. Rossell.
Township Clerk.-Republican, Charles
LaTour.
Constables.-Republican, Edgar Arm
strong, Alfred J. Delete, Harry Eddie
man, Samuel X. Gaskill, Charles E.
Gilbert, Joseph G. Haines. Democratic,
John Rossell.
David +. Sooy. Democratic, G. Howard
Taylor.
Members of Republican County Com
mittee. = First, Micajah E. Matlack;
secoud, Artillias A. Anderson; third, Jo-
seph G.. Kingdom; fourth, Harry l..
| Walters; fifth, Edward Hullings.
Members of Democratic County Com
mittee.-First, James Nj. Davis; second,
John S. Haines; third, Francis II. Reed;
fourth, Stephen /. Garter; fifth, Joseph
r. Sisom.
A. S. l.. Doughty filed a petition for
Progressive county committeeman for
the second district, and he is the only
Progressive filing petition in the town
ship.
Some inquiry has been made as to the
position of Senator Nichols in the Con-
gressional fight. During theft service in
the Senate Senators Nichols and White
were very friendly and there did not
seem to be anything too much for
Nichols to do for the Burlington county
Senator. The latter had reason to ex-
lpect support from the Cumberland man
if Nichols decided he would not be in the
fight himself. The latter decided to
keep out of it. He gained the favor OF
Fielder, Governor of this state, and was
appointed to position that carries a
good salary with it. He is a supposed
Republican, holding Office under Demo
cratic favor and as such is taking part in
the nomination of a Republican Office
seeker. No one will say that he ought
to have sold his politics when he got the
office; he was entitled TO recognition fol
reasons that are well known. But the
question comes in, "Why did he desert
his protested bosom friend, Senator
/ Whittier" Is his act only one of hi,
, many professions? 1t is said he favor,
Isaac Bacharach. Senator White is {
poor man, and if he secures the nomina
ton, as his many friends hope, and hi
| enemies fear, it will not be because h,
has had lots of money behind him. Il
that the reason Nichols did not stick t,
White? We would hardly like to max
such an assertion.

GENERALIZATION as one of the best guar
10 Al.
nation.
| The former governor said that the
smaller community, with its earnestness
in religious work and worship, its edu-
cational advantages and the fact that
the school of necessity frequently drives
its youth to seek greater achievements,
will always continue to make the rural
community the fountain of greatness in
Citizenship and the Uplift of Commu-
nity," and he said the small towns and
rural districts are getting vision, as
never before, of the necessity for an
active Christian citizenship continuing
as their dominant factor. Former Gov.
ernor Stokes was entertained at
his old home on Main street, by his
aunt, Mrs. Annie Stokes.
