trying to play the neutrality act be-

hot editorials telling them what he
thinks they ought to do, they say
he should mind his own business,
and if he runs no editorials they
say he must be either afraid or too
weak minded to express an opinion.
The great trouble is that too many
people do not want to hear any
opinion that conflicts with their own,
but it is a mistake. Continual praise
from others, whether we be editors
or not would soon swell our craniums
to the point where we should be
utterly useless for anything but
paper weights, so it's just as well
that people sometimes tell US the
the truth about ourselves. even
though it does sound rather bad at
the time.

bertville electric plant, which is now
known as the Lambertville Public
Service Company, and supplies light
and power to both Lambertville
and New Hope.
w. E. McClintock, secretary, trea-
surer and general manager, is an
electric and civil engineer, a man of
wide experience, and within the ten
days or so that he has been here
and in charge, many necessary re-
pairs have been made. But one
failure has occurred. and that was
on Monday evening, during his abb
sence, and is not likely to occur
again soon.
The new company promises sub
stantial improvements later on after
the immediate requirements have
been met, and every reasonable per-
son will be willing to give them a
chance to make good their promises.
Probably at no time in its history
has the Lambertville plant been in
such promising condition for future
development, both of territory and
of satisfaction among it's patrons.

There is no glory in going to war with Germany, be- cause Roumania has for 30 years had an LII derstandng with that country, there is no glory in going to war with France, because Roumania Is indebted to the res public for many things, not the least of which was Napoleon HTS choice of Rou- mania's first King. who just died"
 He pointed out that the ties with Ger many were largely industrial with eco- homie development of Roumania standing in large measure as the work of Ger mans. The ties with France were senti- mental, but strong.
 There is no reason why Roumania should go to war with either France Or Germany" he said.
 "Why we should go to war is a mat ter which is born of conditions nearer f0me." The conditions he referred to were the numbers of Roumanians living outside the Roumanian Kingdom. He charged that those in the Transylvania section of Hungary had been denied their rights to such an extent that few of them were permitted to cast ballot. There were also some 3,5o0.000 Rouma- nians in Bessarba who, he said, were on the verge of being Russianized. In their instance, Russia had shown more political sagacity giving the Roumanians many important public offices. with the result that the Roumanan in Bessarabia feels half Russian even now.

From the London Chronicle.
 When so many trawlers have been com mandeered and so few of the others can venture out why is there not more systematic slaughter of freshwater eels and of the conger cells that turk about the masonry of old piers and other breakwaters? The rivers of Scotland swarm with cells. which are almost com plotely neglected a means of making money by the natives who themselves do not eat eels. Fish from the sea will grow scarcer and scarcer, consequently dearer and dearer, as the war goes on, and we cannot afford to ignore our cells. The board of agriculture and fisheries may presently have something to say on the matter Meanwhile the opening for individual enterprise is obvious.

CONSERVATIVES VIEW
No Reason for War and Every Reason for Peace Says Alexander Margin
 n-Understanding With Italy the Best Policy

Bucharest, February a0-(Correspon- donce of the Associated Press)-In sum ming up the attitude of Roumania as to entering the lists of warning nations, Alexander Marghioman one of Che most prominent statesmen in Roumania, ex- pressed himself with this homely remark to correspondent of the Associated Press:
 "In the spring, when the sap rises and the buds swell and mankind generally feels a little better than is good for it. Roumania may again get the war fever, but until then we are likely to use a little common sense in this country
 Mir Marghiloman is leader of the con- servative party and former minister Of finance. His views are those of man charged in some quarters with being a Germanophile. In fact at the outbreak of the present conflagration in Europe his villa was stoned one night by the same Bucharest mob which short time before had attacked the German legation. He stood so firmly opposed to the idea of Roumania rushing into war with Ger many and Austria-Hungary. that his in- fiuence alone, it was said, persuaded the liberal ministry against war, for which the military cast and urban population was then strong.

Question Confronting Roumania

"If the war should lead to political re- adjustments in Europe on a large scale, ssiu the conservative leader. "the least Roumania must do in that case is to take such steps as will retain for her, her present relative position Part of this policy is to incorporate into Roumania such Roumanians as are now without the borders of the mother country. The man in the street believes that we ought to be able to bring all of them into the national fold. That Is absurd, of course We must either take the Roumanians of Hungary or those of Russia. Which, Is tho question if we take any at all
 His discussion of the situation showed its complexity. To incorporate the Rou- manians in Pennsylvania would also in clude the addition of some 100000 Hun gurans and Germans.
 From the viewpoint of race preserva- ton, there was more urgent need to re- incorporate the Roumanians in Bessara- bia, who were so speedily losing home ties of both language and customs.
 '1f we side with Russia, We must re- linquish our intentions regarding Bessara- bia if we side with Austria Hungary and Germany we would have to overlook the Hungarian Roumanians.
 q am of the opinion that an under standing with Italy would be the best policy. Tn that case we might sometime this summer say: Enough of this blood shed-let us have peace I am sure that
