WHY LICENSE WAS REFUSED

In refusing to grant a bottler's IL
cense to Eldridge e Burhardt to sell
malt liquors in Penns Grove, Judge
Waddington gave the following rea-
Gas to the merits of whether or not
such a place is needed I will not dis
cuss or consider" he said. "The citi-
zens of Penns Grove are the ones to
say whether they desire a bottling es-
adjustment, and if there are no per-
sons there sufficiently interested in the
project, the Court does not propose to
send persons from another municipal
ity there to conduct the business.
This is a, ruling that I made when 1
took the bench, and I will adhere to
it in the future"

IN IMPERIAL CLEANUP
DEMOCRACY DEAD. THE CONSTI-
TUITION ABOLISHED. TNVISI-
Bile GOVERNMENT REIGNS
Citizens MuICted In Foreign Court

Penns Grove citizens are getting a taste
OF imperial German rule from the local
and State Boards of Health, who are re-
moved from popular rule. Last Friday
abont a dozen were arraigned before
Squire ID. II. Smith in Salem aud reliev-
ed of from $50 to $3.50 EACH, amounting to
about 5000, by due process OF law.
With full array Of the State legal talents
and witnesses by the State Board of
Health as to unsanitary conditions of
water on premises, bad Surroundings OF
privies, wells and premises, the defense
was meager.
The Court forgot there was a United
States aud State constitution wherein is
declared among other privileges "The
right Of a trial by jury shall remain in
violate" Like a lamb before Their
shearers they opened not their mouths
and produced the long green with which
TO search for malignant bacteria, which
have not been found in Penns Grove, to
the mystery of tile health experts.
Why there is no serious illness with
such a large and cougested population is
a puzzle to experts in the health line.
The reason is like the side Snowman de-
c%lares, 1--WE eat EN- alive bacteria by
the millions
The only one reported as having been
found is bacteria cola, minGte vegetable
organism wfncll dissolve the food we eat
aud make it fit to give energy and life.
Where bacteria cola exists disease bac-
terra may exist, butsthey have not been
found, not even the old ATYPICAL small
pox microbes of six years have been
found.
Several CITIZENS have been served with
notices that theiI well water is polluted
with this useful bacteria cola, which aids
digestion, while the water from the Water
Works Is harmless. Some citizens have
had their well Aater examined by chem
isis and il has been found wholesome.
As a inrtter proof the families have
drunk it Tor twenty five years and never
had levers caused by malignant bacteria
When scientists Disagree who shall de-
cide2 Under an invisible imperial gov
the citizens have no redress.
Under q Democracy aud in kingdoms,
%juries, Guaranteed by Tie constitutions
have been used from the foundation of
our government and tile British Govern
inent.
"rhe proof of the pudding is in the
eating The proof Of the wholesome
ness OF water is IN the drinking, which is
better proof than all tine theories OF
health experts.
Since 81 a ioot has been added to the
expense Of installing water, where for
me,ly it was to the curb free, Sl4 to each
house. it is hoped to increase ttIs next
dividend OF the Water Company from 10
to % per cent. Last week when the fire
compan attached their hose to the plug
during the fire a stream was thrown over

Women did vote between 1776 and 1907
in New Jersey.

Using More Money Than There Is.

Philadelphia Evening Ledger 1t
will take more actual money than
there is in the world to pay the bills
if the war lasts four months more.
The total stock of gold money is about
$1,000, 100000; there are about $780,
100000 of silver money and $3,560,000-
900 of paper money, including bank
notes. This amounts to a little more
than $13 900, OOO,0 The warning coun-
tries have already borrowed $685.
100000 and the fighting has lasted
over nine months. They are spending
about a billion a month. In four
months the enormous sum of $780,
100000 will be reached. This is more
than half as much as all wars from
1898 to 1913 cost, even when there is
Included the economic loss due to the
decrease in production occasioned by
the use of men for fighting instead of
for creating wealth.
AS much has been borrowed already
as all wars cost between 1898 and
1860. The total number of men en-
gagged in fighting in the last century
amounted to 1S,0O0,000, number lit
tie in excess of the number now &C
lively engaged on the continent OF
soon to be engaged. 1t is as if all
the fighting for a hundred years had
been concentrated in nine months and
as if about all the money that it had
taken to pay for the past wars had
been gathered together and thrown
into the trenches to be burned by
powder, blasted by dynamite anC
melted by the fierce explosion Of
the bombs.
The sum is incomprehensible. But
it is less than the warning nations
have spent in maintaining their armies
and navies for the last IS years while
getting ready for conflict. Great Brit
ain alone spent half billion dollars
in the fiscal year of 1894, Russia
had to use $40, 100000, and the
amount spent by France, Germany anC
Austria-Hungary brings the total FOL
single twelvemonth up to $1,000,
100000. Europe was staggering undel
the burden of preparation. German.
had already borrowed nearly pc
cent of the value of all their propert.
of all kinds included within thei
boundaries.
This fearful drain on the resources
of the nations cannot continue with
out piling up burdens of debt which
will weigh upon the shoulders of thu
people for generations to come. Thu
economic argument for peace is a
strong as the economic argument 70
temperance.

EPILEPsYs ORIGIN INTESTINAL.
Not Brain Disease-cured by Knife, q

San Francisco.-The accepted the
DRY of the medical profession that cpl

the announcement of Dr. Charles A.

had cured epilepsy by an operation on

AUTOMOBILE RACE
CH|CAGO-SEATTLE
RELAYS OF 100 MILES EAco TO
BEAT TRAIN TIME BETWEEN
TWO CITIES.
WASHINGTON DRIVER KILLED
The Letter From Mayor of Chicago to
Mayor of Seattle Reached Desti-
nation Four Hours Ahead Of
Schedule Time.

Seattle.-George e. Dickson of FL
lensburg, former member of the state
legislature, was killed, and John l..
Gilmore of Seattle and John Keller of
Ellensburg were slightly hurt. as a
dramatic windup to the 100-hour race
from Chicago to Seattle.
The automobile, which took up the
last lap at Ellensburg, went into the
ditch at Redmond, turned over and
caught its occupants beneath it. Dick
son was crushed, but the others we're
able to scramble out.
Redmond is less than 80 miles by
automobile road from Seattle, the des
tination of the car and the end of the
long race.
From Bozeman, Mont, on, where
western drivers took up the task OF
carrying along the message from
Mayor Thompson of Chicago to May
or Gill of Seattle, the drivers were
ahead of the schedule, which was to
have put them in Seattle in 100 hours
thereby beating the best time of the
crack fast trains.
Jack Warner took the message from
Bozeman to Butte, Matt Barry from
Butte to Missoula, Walter Beck anC
Thos. Thibadeau from Missoula t
Wallace Ben Barham from Wallace t
Spokane, Harry L. Olive from Spo
kane to Coulee City, Clyde w. Gull
bert from Coulee City to Ellensburg.
Early dispatches said that Mayo
Kreidel and Joe Steiner of Ellensburi
would carry the message west from
Ellensburg, and it is thought one o
the attending cars, rather than thu
message bearer, was the one which
met with the mishap.
The object of the trip was to SHOW
that transcontinental highways wer'
in good condition in the west, and thu
distance was to have been covered b.
relays in 100 hours. The car bearing
the bessage on the last lap reache'
Seattle at noon Saturday.

sAML. eoMPERs AGAINST WAR.
Hopes No War Will Come, but Puts
Nations Honor First.

ashington.-Samuel Gompers, the
president of the American Federation
of Labor, in a recent letter sets forth
his position as to international poll
tics. The letter was addressed to e.
Bohm, secretary of the Central Fed
Grated Union of New York.
There are some things that are
even more abhorrent than war, that is,
to be robbed of the birthright of free
dom, Justice, safety and character.
Against any attempt of any person or
group of persons or nation or nations
no may be engaged in an effort to
undermine or destroy these funda-
mentals of normal human existence
and development l would not only
fight to defeat it, but prevail upon
every red-blooded, liberty and human
ity loving man to resist to the last
degree.
THE United States will not volun-
tarily enter into the present European
war. OF that l am confident. We shall
keep out of it if we possibly can with
a degree of faithfulness to the funda
mental principles of justice, freedom
and safety. If, despite our reserve AND
self-ontrol we shall be dragged into
it whether we like it or not there viii
be but one position for us to take, and
that is to be true to ourselves, true
to our fellows, true to the highes
ideals of humanity for which oul
movement stands.
