The drivers of fire rigs surely do not deliberately

Another School Decision.

On the 10th of March the voters a
Pemberton township held the regular
meeting to select members of the Board
of Education and to make appropria.
tons with which to conduct the schools
for another year. In the latter there
were two items and when the ballots
were counted there appeared to be mix
up or misunderstanding and it seemed
TO be necessary to get a decision from
the State Department of Instruction. In
reply to the inquiry made, the assistant
Commissioner said that the proposition
submitted to the legal voters was not in
any sense binding upon the district, or
making any appropriation, but simply
Ior Inc purpose OF ascertaining the senti-
ment OF the legal voters as to whether a
new school house should be bniIt Of a
cost of $4,000, or repairs made to the
present building at cost of 81 O0O
There were a number of ballots east
against both the propositions, but | did
not think that these ballots should be
considered for the reason that all that
was desired was an expression from the
people as to which of the propositions
should be submitted at a future meet
ing of the legal voters.
"A recount of the ballots cast in favor
OF one or the other propositions shows
that the $4,000 proposition received 54
votes, and the $4,000 proposition receiv-
ed Sc votes.''
AS result of this opinion the voters
have decided to hold another election to
decide whether to build new school
houselatiBrown's Mills, to cost SO, 900, or
to appropriate $1,000 to repair the present
buildings. This election will be held on
the Both of this month from four until
seven o'clock.

Tabernacle Dedicated.

At big union meeting of church con-
gregations, Burlington's tabernacle,
where for four weeks the Rev. David
Hughes, the Welsh evangelist, is con-
Quoting revival services, was dedicated
on Friday night. Cottage prayer meet
ings, held in homes throughout the
city for several weeks, have paved the
way for the opening of the religious CAM
paign, and the enthusiasm of the feder-
ated churches for the work was demon
strated on Friday night.
Speakers at the dedication were the
Rev. DR.. t. M. Eastwood, of the First
Baptist church; the Rev. T. J. j.. Wright,
of the Broad Street Methodist Episcopal
church; the Rev. Frank Lukens, Of the
First Presbyterian chusch, and the Rev.
A. ID. Ward, of the Union Street Method
ist Episcopal church. Their addresses
were call of every Christian in Burling-
ton to the firing line for the battle with
sin.
A hope repeatedly expressed by the
speakers was that the campaign would
result in the closing of many of Burling-
toms saloons. 1--WE want to save some
of the human wreckage from these dam
nable places and brighten the homes the
saloons of Burlington have crushed, y
said Pastor Wright.
The tabern acle is located at Federal and
Wood streets. 1t will seat about 20OC
persons. The combined choirs of the CO
Operating churches make up the taber
nacle chorus.

Press Comments
STRONG DOUBT

From the time when the preferential
system was enacted for choosing com
missioners in New Jersey municipalities
governed under the Walsh act, there has
been strong doubt in legal minds as to
the validity of such a method. Can any
citizen be compelled to vote for three
men to fill one place, or even be permit
ted to do so?
And that is virtually what the pref
erential law amounts to. The question
is now for the first time brought before
the court by writ of certiorari in New
Brunswick, which stays the result of the
election in that city. If this most recent
of the many new and strange devices Of
politics in New Jersey shall prove to be
invalid under the organic law, MANY
voters will welcome the decision.
Every revision of our election laws
during recent years has made it harder
for citizens to exercise the right of fran
chise, and the whole business has come
to be Chinese puzzle, SO that it is. no
wonder thousands stay away from the
polls in disgust, while other thousands
unwittingly throw away their votes by
natural blunders in the complicated pro-
cess OF preparing their ballots. Newark

DESPITE the protests sent to him Gov
ernor Fielder reappointed William S.
Gummere to be Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court. The chief objection orig
mated with Senator Hennessey, Dem
ocrat, of Bergen. In lengthy commune
cations Senator Hennessey set forth his
reasons for opposition to Justice Gum
mere and he was aided by others. II
took nerve and courage for the senator
to openly express his opinions on what
he claimed was the unfitness of Gum
mere, but he did it fearlessly, with cour-
age and independence. The Governor
refused to be convinced of the unfitness
of the Chief Justice and made the APP
pointment. 1t is said he had determined
on this procedure several months ago,
but why he held off is not made public.
1t seems to have been peculiar part Of
the Governors makeup to keep candi-
dates on the anxious bench after he had,
in his own mind, decided what he would
do. That was the case in the appoint.
ment of the Prosecutor of the Pleas in
this county. While it had been openly
stated that Mr.. Kelseywas the Governors
choice and that he would be the success.
full man, yet the matter was held up and
the other candidates were allowed te
think they had a chance to be favored.
Had the Governor acted promptly and
done what his final acts showed he in
tended to do he would have stood in
higher esteem in the minds of those who
were allowed to spend time and money
in chasing will-o'- the-wisp.

Arrested in Camden.

Accusing Angelo Donhola, % years
old, and Anna Ferri, of Burlington, of a
misdemeanor, a woman named Mar
guerita Spidicato, about 45 years old,
who claims to be the wife of the former,
pressed a serious charge against the two
before Recorder Stackhouse in Camden
Saturday morning.
On account of the completely of the
case and the necessity of further investi-
cation, the Recorder decided to hold the
two for further hearing.
According to Detective Troncone, who
arrested the couple, Angelo and Mar
guerita were given license by City
Clerk Brown about two years ago, allow
ing them to wed. Angelo asserts, how
ever, that the marriage did not take
place.
The two defendants produced mar
riage license, showing that they had been
married by Magistrate Beaton, of Phila-
delphia, last Monday. According to the
evidence, Angelo and the other woman
will prove they are guiltless OF the charge,
declaring that they are married, and
consequently could not commit the
illegal act with which they are charged.
Two years ago, when Angelo and the
complainant decided to get married, the
understanding was that the $500 which
Marguerite possessed should be given to
her spouse. Angelo, apparently, wanted
to test her word, and according to the
police, said that they had been duly
married when he had only secured the
license to marry.
Marguerite was satisfied, but would
not hand over the $500 which she had
agreed to give to her supposed newly
welded husband. Angelo grew angry,
but did not tell her of the fact that there
had been no marriage between them.
After living with Marguerite for year,
according to the detective, Angelo saw
that he could not, get the money as
promised. Then he left her.
Marguerite claims that he went direct
ly to the other defendant. Angelo, how
ever, asserts that he knows nothing
about that, but says that he is duly and
legally married to Anna and will stick
with her as long as he lives.
