CEDAR GROVE, N. J., April 2S.-
When three kisses are applied by a
gray-haired clergyman, age So. to the
lips of his prettiest parishioner. aged
Is, is it merely manifestation of father
ly affection, the exuberance of prankish
boyhood or the work of his satanic high
ness, the Old Nick himself?
Miss Maud Jacobs, the maiden
kissed, says she thought the minis
terial embraces were tokens of pater-
nal regard.
DR.. ]. Lewis Evans, the kissing
pastor, says they were administered
during an assinine (the word is
his) laps into callow boyhood.
Mrs. Evans, wife of the pastor,
says 1t was the work of Old Nick.
Anyhow. the society of Cedar Grove
is graphing over the problem, DR..
Evans has met demands of the trustees
of the Congregational church by resign
ing, the rural half of the congregation
says the trustees have been too hard
ON the pastor and Mrs. Evans says she
and her husband will have to move, that
he may never have another place in
the ministry, and If that is true she
does not know how they can help their
son. Raymond, finish his college course
or how he will stand "the shame of it
MAUD has always been a friend Of
the family" says Mrs. Evans. land only
last Sunday came over to borrow my
hymn book. When we were moving
into the parsonage Maud helped us lay
carpets and fix things up and she and
my husband used to fool a lot as they
worked.
III talked to him about it, but he said
he had to be friendly with his parish
toner's. My husband and Maud used to
have little friendly scuffles and it was
at the end of one of these play SQUAD
bles when Maud says he kissed her.
"As soon as I heard about it I went
over to Maud's house and asked her
about 1t. I said to her, If you thought
it was an insult, you should have knock

stead Of that, the story was told to other
people.

my husband has been in church
work and he has always been an
ardent, faithful worker, above all
reproach"
Edward Jacobs. father of the girl
says ne feels lenient toward the pastor
and hopes another place will be found
for him.
DR.. Evans says, "Tt must have been
the kid coming out in me. You know
what boys will do, sometimes. Lots OF
church people are guilty of the same
thing, but of course a pastor must be
more careful"
Five pastors who preceded DR.. Evans
at the Congregational church resigned
Now DR.. Evans, brought here as "a re-
liable and sedate married man, has
brought upon the community noteriety
greater than any caused by the proceed

REPEAL OF FREE SUGAR
OPPOSED BY HARDW|CK
Declares Democratic Party Is
UnequivOCaIIy Pledged to
Present Schedule
by RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Hardwick held the attention OF the SEN
ate for three hours this afternoon in an
exhaustive argument against concur
renee in the house bill repeating the
free sugar schedule of the Underwood
tariff law. The senator voiced a reluc.
tant willingness to accept the original
proposition of the senate to defer the
operation of the schedule for a period of
four years, but he declared that he could
not agree to the unconditional repeal
of the provision. He insisted that the
Democratic party is pledged uncondition'
ally to free sugar, and cited planks from
many of the national platforms of the
party to sustain his contention. He ex-
pressed profound regret that a num-
Der of his Democratic colleagues were
out of harmony with the party platform
favoring the repeal as a matter Of ex-
pediency made necessary by deprecated
revenues as a result of the European
war.
Senator Hardwick discussed every
phase of the sugar question and dis
played an amazing fund of informa-
ton respecting the operation Of this
schedule of the tariff law. He assail-
ed the Republican contention that free
sugar will work ruin upon the cane and
beet sugar industry of America. and
showed wherein the duty OH this pro-
duct operates only to enrich the sugar
reflners at the expense OF the consum-
ing public.
The senator's speech was even temper
ed, but none the less emphatic. He did
not attack his Democratic colleagues
for their caucus action in agreeing In
concurrence in the house bill, but con-
tented himself with reiterating the rea-
sons that make it impossible for him
to follow the administration.

Social Ethics Club
On Penal Institutions

| Prison work and it's history was
the subject of helpful meeting
of the Social Ethics club held with
Mrs. Ora Evans Thursday after
noon. The president, Mrs. Oral
Roberts, was also in charge of the
program. and in her paper brought
out that for the subsection of the
criminal after he has reached the
place of correction, has been subs
tituted all possible prevention of
his downfall, and his reformation,
if his isolation has been found
absolutely necessary.
Judge Ben B. Lindsey was high
ly praised for his detention home
method, avoiding young criminals
being herded with bad adults; for
his probation system. sending very
| few to the reformatory; and for
the juvenile courts where children
are tried in sympathetic way.
His work has saved the state many
dollars and many men.
As the average age of the crimi-
nal is only 26 years old, it seems
very necessary that parents keep
the boys and girls SO thoroughly
employed that they have no time
for wicked thoughts or for bad as
sociates. The doing away with the
apprentice system has made many
idle boys. as has also some absurd
rulings of labor unions. a move
ment is on, to teach hand work in
the schools for those who will 90
no higher than the eighth grade
and who never expect to be pro-
fessional men or women. Manual
training as it is now taught does
not really fit boy or girl to take
a position. The real teaching of
the trades is not now found much |
outside of the reform schools.
As this was the last meeting
which Mrs. W. B. Read would at
tend, much regret was expressed
at losing her as friend and as a
member of the club, and wishes
for her welfare were extended.
A vote of thanks was rendered |
Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Phillips and
Mr.. Peterson who did such beauti- |
full work on the lovely programs.
The hostess served ice cream,
cake and coffee in delightful way.
The next meeting will be with
Mrs. Dory, next Friday.
