The meetings which were begun
in a tent on the west side Of Wash

Gibson conducts these services and
delivers the address. His theme on
Monday night swas "Sin", which he
handled in a practical manner, re-
rerring to many passages in the
Bible which speak of human short
comings, and appealing to all who
realize their dereiction to look to the
lamb of God which taketh away the
sins of the world. There were no
services last night, but the tent will
lie open again tonight, at which time
the evangelist will speak on "Pre-

state thousands of dollars annually,
not to speak of efficiency in running
the machinery of government. Job
holders, large and small, were armed
to the teeth and ont to defeat the
bills. But the Atlantic Senator forced
them through, just as he said he
would, and thereby did the taxpayers
of New Jersey a genuine service.
While acting-governor of the state,
during the absence of Governor
Fielder, the Atlantic county senator
again showed his rare capacity for
work. Aside from attending twenty
dinners In his official capacity in
thirty days and attending to such de-
tails as representing New Jersey at

during the first direct telephoning be-
tween New Jersey and California, Act

the legislative enactment of a year

stationery for the various depart

tuberculosis commission In cattle to
stop the spread Of the foot and mouth
disease among hogs in North Jersey
and gave some interesting decisions
In extradltion matters. The executive
and administrative ability which he
displayed during this brief period of
five weeks in the governors chair
created a very favorable impression.

profitable business in Atlantic City.
This was his first opportunity to apply
business principles of his own con-
ception. The application was so
effective that in a short time the Dor
land advertising agency was doing an
annual business in the millions and
returning net annual profits accord
ingly. Edge built up the business and
pushed it until it became a great and
powerful business organization, with

by his public life quite as plainly as
by MS private lie. he mas d fecOru
for constructive legislation which is
indeed enviable. For instance, there is
the workingmen's compensation act,
which he personally introduced and
fought to enactment through the leg
stature in the face of terrific opposi-
ton after serving on the commission
that drafted the bill and even going
to Europe to continue his research
work in the quest of ideas on the
subjects of employers liability and
workmen's compensation.
Then there are the economy and eff
iciency acts. Senator Edges work N
this commission was of the highest
order of merit and his craftsmanship
in getting the legislature to pass the
bills despite powerful political influ-
