AMERICANIZE AMERICANS

1t is a great problem to Americanize
foreigners, but the society in New York
which has undertaken that work has
fonpt that there are many native born
who heed Americanizing and it is as
great a problem to Americanize them as
it is to get foreigners to think al act in
the American spirit as outlined in the
letters and actions OF the father OF our
country whose birthday we celebrate.
Never in the history of Penns Grove, in
the history Of the State and Nation since
they were incorporated have they had a
greater crisis to meet Re-read the
above words of Washington whose 1S4th
birthday anniversary will be next Tues
day and decide what should be FOUR

expect, where can you get knowledge of
local affairs except in your local news

the institution? The question is not.

H SPIRIT OF rs.

1t is coming back again,
And it stirs the souls of men
Like a bugle call that echoes through
the night;
For it lives anew as when,
In the forest and the glen,
The farmers rose at Lexington and put
the foe to fight.
Who said that it had died
Knoweth not, perhaps he lied,
For liberty shall live again though bur-
led in a grave;
And the souls of them abide
Who onee battled side by side
To break the yoke of England or give
freedom to the slave.
1t is coming back again
With the might that moved it when
1t made a tyrant tremble and ruled a
peoples fate;
And they who scorn the right,
Forcing freemen to the fight,
Shall find the spirit strong again that
made a nation great.

and Council was held Tuesday evening.
All were present.
The Council authorized the drafting of

curbed and cement sidewalks to be laid.
Geo. W. Dickel, chief OF Liberty Fire
Company vas present. He stated that
the Company had 5000 in bank on inter-
est towards paying for a new motor
pumping engine aud that the citizens
were giving willing. He called attention
TO the need OF having the fire whistle
changed. The whistle broke. A small
err one was put OH. 1t destroys the
siren sound and cannot he distinguished
from a locomotive whistle.
}. K. MoreIand was present and pre-
sented the offer OF W. A. Sack to open
Beach Avenne from South Broad to the
bank oil the Delaware river and asked

fire plugs be put in. Tie Council will

Mr.. Mofeiand's bid to prepare an as
SCISSORS MAJ for the Borough for $1,000 was
accepted. 1t WAS the same as last August
when the action was illegally advert sed.
Councilman Naylor presented II resolu-
ton asking that the Mayor and Council
reliliquIsh the riparian right OF the citi-
zens vi the Borough to access to the river
at the loot of Main Street aud give it
to the Penns Grove Pier Company. The
Pier Company expects to extend the wharf
400 leet to deep water so that the Will
son line steamers HOW running between

Borough is a detriment to the Pier Com

The sanitary condition and drainage
necessities OF the Borough was discussed.
Councilman II. A. Dalbow said that in
his business trip thru tie South lie had
irqnired OF The small towns means OF
iaIsiug revenue and learned that most
tow MS obtained much OF their revenue by
a mercantile tax. There are many per-
sons now doing big business in PENIS
Grove on u small capital being turned
frequently who will have small valuations
at assessing time. 1t was his opinion
that some way should be devised to- get a
revenue from those merchants. 1t was
also his opinion there was nothing else
Tor the Borough Council to do than to
take over the surface drains thru the
Borough aud to keep them in good con-
dition to tl,:. source oil drainage from the
streets and where persons drain into
these surface sewers a nominal sum
should I've charged.
The Council has begnn to think and
action will be taken soon.
The resolution to purchase the Paullin
lot fer a Borough hall had first reading.
fhe objection to it is that it is not
central.

Got Short Sentences

The burglars who broke into and rob
bed the Pennsgrove post office oil January
Sth, were arraigned before the q. 5.
District Court in Trenton on the It'll and
their trial was held last Tuesday, the
18th. Securely hand-cuffed and chained
together, they were brought before the
Court by U. S. Marshal Linford Denny.
Their guilt was so clear that the trial
was short. Judge John Rellstab sentenc-
ed Frank Stebbins, Charles Collins and
Henry e. Hamilton to the N. j. State
Prison for five years and Frank Matson
and John Mayo were committed for two
years. Those given five years were con-
sidered the brains of the robber band.
Hamilton has had a long record, having
been arrested eighteen times and served
seven prison terms, one of which was in
Sing Sing, where he was liberated last
October.
Collins made a personal appeal for
clemency, believing a prison term was
a death sentence for him because he be-
lieved he was afflicted with tuberculosis.
Stebbens made a like appeal.
When they found that they had to go
to prison, both asked that they be sent
to Atlanta, where there is a tuber-
eulosis sanitarium in connection with
the prison. Judge Rellstab said he was
unable to grant their request because
Atlanta prison is full, but he promised
to use his best efforts to have them
transferred to the southern penitentiary.
The short sentences given these old
criminals and most expert safe drillers is
astonishing to the public mind. Surely
the Judge was not impressed with the
greatness of.their crime. Chicken thieves
frequently get such sentences.

men N.ith the approval of their rector,
the Rev. W. II. Vibirert. ID. d AID
under the leadership of Mr.. james L
IiOughteliHg, the teacher Of the Bible

Thousand men and five hundred junior

Mr.. Sayre organized a probationary
chapter and the following officers were
elected by the members: President, Ed
ward Brewes; vice-president. Wallace
Cooper; Secretary, Henry Ford, and
Albert Cooper, treasurer.
The Brotherhood requires that every

The boys are very enthusiastic over or
ganizlng a chapter here aud it is thought
that a great work will be done.

senior chapter.

Let it simply be asked, where is the Sc
eurity of property, for reputation, for
life, if the sense of religious, obligation
desert the oaths, which are the instru-
ments of investigation in courts of jus
tice? Let us with caution indulge the
supposition, that morality can be main

reason and experience both forbid us
TO expect, that national morality can pre-
vail in exclusion of religious principle.
1t is substantially true, that virtue or
morality is a necessary spring of popu-
lar government. The rule, in deed ex-
tends with more or less force to every
species of free government. Who, that is
a sincere friends to it, can look with in

fabric.

ton as the structure of the government
gives force to the public opinion, it is
essential that public opinion should be
enlightened.

WHAT

WHAT
ARE THEY?
The Spirit of George Washington
Every Municipality Must Have Men Imbued With The
Spirit Of The Father Of Their Country To
Make A Republic

Every native born American citizen and many citizens by adoption
revere the name and face of George Washington, the Father of Their
Country. But the most important is to be imbued with the Principles
and Spirit of the Man whom they revere, those inherent qualities of
mind and heart which made him great and renowned.
When Washington was called to command the Colonial minute
men he did not ask How much there is in the Office, nor what can 1
get out of i?' He gave his personal service without pay, except for
his expenses, for eight years and suffered privations with his soldiers
at Valley Forge. When about to leave the command of the army in
1888 he addressed a letter to the Governors of the States, in which he
announced four things essential to the we'll being and existence OF the
United States, as an independent power.
1st. An indissoluble Union of the States under one federal head
IDLY. A sacred regard to public justice.
3dly. The adoption of a proper peace establishment.
4thly. The prevalence of that pacific and friendly disposition
among the people of the United States, which will induce them to for
get their local prejudices and policies; to make those mutual concessions
which are requisite to the general prosperity; and in some instances 10
sacrifice their individual advantages to the interest of the community:
