PLEASANTVILLE NIGHT
BRINGS OUT REPUBLICANS
Many Residents of This City Do
Honor to the Next Governor of
New Jersey.

From a deficit in the State Treas
ury of 100000 to a balance of over
$1,000, 900, has been the progress
made in New jerseys finance since
Senator Walter E. Edge, candidate for
the republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton, secured the passage of his econ
omy and efficiency measures, State
Treasurer William T. Read told some
300 or more Edge supporters who
met in the annex of the Guarantee
Trust Building on Saturday evening
to celebrate "Pleasantville Night" Of
the Walter E. Edge Marching Club.
Mr.. Read also dwelt upon the national
issues. He declared that the public
throughout the country is disguised
with Democratic mismanagement of
affairs and would elect Charles E.
Hughes in November by an over
whelming majority. He was just as
confident of a Republican sweep of
this State, which would carry Walter
E. Edge to the Governors chair.
Other speakers were A~ssemblymen
Bertram E. Whitman and Mayor
Charles J.. Adams, both of Pleasant
vile, who assured the Atlantic City
people that Pleasantville would be
solidly behind Edge. G. Arthur Bolte,
Esq, also spoke, and he addressed
himself to the Pleasantville delegation
particularly. Pleasantville, he said,
was Senator Edges home town, and
it was up to Pleasantville to take care
of its own product. The cheering re-
spouse which greeted his remark evil
denced a determination to do just
that. Former Assemblyman Richards
also made an address.
Refreshments were served and the
meeting was adjourned to meet next
Friday night when the Marching Club
will appear for the first time. 1t
will parade in conjunction with the
Carnival to be held on the following
day. Robert NJ. Johnston announced
that uniforms had been ordered and
would be delivered by Wednesday of
this week. On Wednesday night, he
said, the lieutenants of the club will
meet in the Annex for a final drill.
The Marching Club now numbers over
1900.
The P%leasantville delegation march
ed up Atlantic avenue from Florida,
headed by the Pleasantville Band, and
presented a very attractive appear
ance.

CHEAPER CHECK COLLECTIONS.
Country Wide Payments by Local
Checks Facilitated Through New
Federal Reserve Plan.

To facilitate the transfer of money
from one part of the country to an
other, the Federal reserve banks in
a%ugurated on July 10Th the country
wide system for collecting bank
checks. This is an event in the de-
velopmept of the Federal reserve sys-
tenn, second in importance only to the
opening of the twelve Federal reserve
banks in November, 1914.
Commenting upon the effects of this
new collection system, the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Philadelphia has given
out the following statement: "The use
of checks instead of currency for the
payment of debts is a custom that
now prevails almost universally
throughout the United States. For
this reason the question of effecting
the prompt and economical collection
of checks, especially those payable at
a distance, has been for years past a
problem of ever-increasing difficulty
the complexity of which has been
growing with the development of the
country's business.
"The banks themselves have usual
ly made arrangements with each 9TH
er for these collections, which in many
cases have not been entirely satisfac-
tory. The routes chosen have often
been roundabout, thus necessitating
a waste of time in collecting the items
and some abuses have grown up in
connection Herewith so that these ar
engagements have produced a
simple, comprehensive and scientific
plan, such as is now contemplated by
the plan inaugurated by the Federal
Reserve Board.
"The new system is of Importance
to every one who receives out-of-
town checks, or has out-of-town re-
mittances to make. The reduced cost
of check collections will be of great
benefit since the actual and proper
cost of transfer of money between
points will be put upon a cost basis.
"There will be less money tied up
in the mails and each community gen
orally will probably benefit by the re-
tention in the local banks of funds
which have hitherto been transferred
to the larger cities as a necessary in
cident to the existing collection ar

PASSES FIFTIETH MILESTONE
Former P~leasantville Pastor HOnored
Upon Reaching This Point in Life.

The Weekly Forecast, of Philadel-
phia, contains the following concern
ing Rev. Samuel W. Steckel, former
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Pleasantville:
Sunday, July 16, 1916, will ever be
regarded as one of the happiest days
in the history of Falls of Schuylkill
Presbyterian Church. That day mark
ed the iftieth milestone of the pas
tor, Rev. Samuel w. Steckel's, pill
grimage through this world of hope
and sorrows. Fifty years brings a
person to the apex of his earthly ex-
i~stence, but that should not be dis
c%ouraging. Most of the great men of
history achieved their greatest sue
cess after having rounded out half a
century. The immortal Lincoln had
passed his fifty-second year when he
assumed the grave and mighty re-
sponsibility of directing this country
through the greatest crisis in its his
tory. With a past illumined with
good works, Pastor Steckel will press
onward and upward, it is hoped, for
many years to come.
CATER a brief address, in which he
referred to the anniversary, Pastor
Steckel gave the service over to the
Rev. Thomas Houston, the blind
Scotch evangelist, who preached an
appropriate mi from the words
uttered by the Apostle Peter on the
Mount of TRANSPORTATION: TT is good
to be here During his discourse he
told of the kindly congratulatory
Numbering 255) letters, postcards
and kilograms with which the pastor
was showered on Saturday. One of
the kilograms, that of the Rev. John
S. Carson, D. D., Ii. D., pastor of
Central Presbyterian Church, Brook
Ign, N. Y, a former moderator of the
General Assembly, was read: Accept
my hearty congratulations. Your life
has been lived to the honor of the
Master and a benefit to mankind.
Your work has contributed much to
every movement and has helped lift
this world to a higher and nobler lev
ell. May the coming years be filled
with such blessings and all crowned
with His favor
"Mr. Steckel was born in Durham,
Bucks county, July 16, 1866. He was
educated in Lafayette College and
Princeton University, was licensed to
preach the Gospel twenty years ago
by the P~resbytery of New Brunswick,
N. j., and was ordained November II,
1897, by the Presbytery of West Jer-
sey.
"His first charge was in Providence,
R. l.. He served as pastor of the He
bron Memorial Church and Greenwich
Street Churches, in Philadelphia, and
came to the Falls two years ago from
Plainsville, N. J.
"a happy feature of Sundays SER
vice was the presentation of a bou-
quet of fifty choice carnations to the
pastor by the Ladies' Aid Society"
