The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1915-03-25

Lambertville's official jag list is an
interesting document, as now on
exhibition in the various drinking
places of this city. The totals are
46 men and one woman from this
city. and 16 men from the borough
of New Hope; making a grand total
of So. Of the total only two colored
men are listed, and one of these is
from New Hope. Several have been
on the list before, and behaved
and had their names removed, only
to get back again and to stay this
time.

No one had noticed his absence un-
til that moment. nor was he to be
found. A few minutes later, Samson's
figure swung into sight, and his uncle
met him at the fence.
Samson. I've done asked ye all the
questions I'm a-goin ter ask ye." he
said, but them dawgs is maxim fer

Samson nodded.

LOOKS LIKE CHANGE
President Wilson'S New Views
About Big Business.
Recent Utterances Seem to Indicate
That He Has Reconsldered Certain
Policies That Worked Much
Harm to the Country.

President Wilson, in his speech to
the United States Chamber of Com
merce the other day, said he favored
modification of the antitrust laws
that would make 1t possible for Ameri-
can business men to bind themselves
together In common action in secur-
ing foreign trade. He would encour-
age such a concert of action. he said,
provided that no combinations were
formed to exclude any manufacturer
or exporter
His remarks were hailed with great
applause, as well they might have
been, since they were an approval OF
big business, which he has been Tight
ing ever since he went into office. For
there is certainly no difference In
principle between trusts organized to
get foreign business and trusts operat-
ing in this country.
And what becomes of the competi-
tion that he insisted was the chief
need of business when he demanded
the dissolution of the big trusts? Is
it not as desirable in the foreign trade
as at home? Or, putting 1t the other
way, may not combinations OF busi-
ness men under proper conditions be
Just as desirable and necessary in
handling home trade as in command
ing foreign trade?
Mr.. Wilson said. in his Indianapolis
speech. that he was not business
man, but in his Washington address
he shows signs of an ability to learn.
But 1t is up to" him to explain why
trust Of the kind he recommends is
beneficent, and other trusts that do
business at home are iniquitous.

President Wilson's partlsanshIp.

What pity 1t is that the president
cannot dismiss party politics from his
mind when he is appointing quasi.judi-
cial officials such as are the members
of the federal trade commissionl He
named three Democrats-and that Is
well enough The other two nominees
should have been Republicans. They
were not
However. his Democratic predeces-
sor, Grover Cleveland. displayed like
disregard of the proprieties when. In
1893. he named the judges OF the new
court OF appeals of the District Of
Columbia. They were three In num-
ber. Cleveland nominated three Dem
ocrats and they were confirmed
In striking contrast to this Demo
cratic craftsmanship we may view the
action OF William II. Taft. That fair
minded statesman had himself been
a Judge. As president he elevated two
Democratic Justices from lower court
to the bench OF the Supreme court OF
the United States. besides advancing a
Democratic justice of that court to be
chief justice OF the United States.

Mounting, they kicked their mules
into jog. From the men inside the
fence came no note of derision. no
hint Of triumph. They stood looking
out with expressionless, masklike
faces until their enemies had passed
out Of sight around the shoulder of
the mountain. The Souths had met and
fronted an accusation made after the
enemy's own choice and method. A
jury OF two hounds had acquitted
them. 1t was not only because the
dogs had refused to recognize In Sam

enemy rode on grudgingly convinced,

the surface. To be a friend-which is
more important than to have a friend
is life's highest attainment. If we
miss this. we miss a means of soul

helps us to our earthly loves, so our
earthly loves help us to know God.

love, abideth in God"

he foresaw that the scepter would one
