TO QUEEN ESTHER CIRCLE.

The Queen Esther Circle of Wesley
NJ. E. Church met at the home of Miss
Annis Barnett, on w. Verona avenue.
After the regular business, the lesson
topic, "Home Missions in Action, was

question asked, "What is meant by
Home Missions" brought out the an
swer that the work of the Woman's
Home Missionary Society (under

to bring Christ into the lives and
homes of all people under u flag,
ever those that are in u homes, our
own dear ones included, to protect and
train and a v the children who are to
be the men and of tomorrow.
In short to make our country Gods
country, that the world may become
Christ's Kingdom.
Do you know that more than a mill
ion children are toiling in factories,
.canneries, sweat-shops, ETC.? Do you
know the law about child labor in our
state?
My Prayer.
"Let me not die before I've done for
thee
My earthly work whatever it may be;
Call me not hence with mission I'M
filled;
Let me not leave my space of ground
untitled!
Impress this truth upon me-that not
one
Can do my portion that l leave UNI
done;
For each one in thy vineyard hath a
spot
To labor in for life, and weary not"

FOR GOVERNOR,
HON. WALTER E. EDGE.

The Pleasantville Press endorses
the candidacy for Governor of Hon.
Walter E. Edge. And we do this
confident in the belief that he will be
the next Governor of New Jersey. In
every sense of the word the Colonel is
qualified for the position of Chief Elk
%ecutive. Born in Philadelphia on No
vember goth, 1873, he was reared in
our own city of Pleasantville. For
three years he was Journal Clerk of
the New Jersey Senate and then for
four years he was Secretary of that
body. In 1909 he was elected to the
House of Assembly from Atlantic
County by the phenomenal plurality
of 1913 over his democratic oppon-
ent, and in 1910 and again in 1913 he
was elected to the State Senate. By
training and experience he is as well
qualified as any mar in the State, and
with a character beyond reproach, he
is the ideal and logical person to wrest
this highly important office from oc-
cupancy by a Democrat. Strong in
every section of the State, with UNI
questioned ability, endorsed by nearly
every political organization in his own
county, Atlantic will give to the Re-
publicans a favorite son who will re-
deem the Governorship for the Grand
Old Party and give the State an adj
ministration that will be a credit to
himself, to his county, and to the par
ty that puts him in the chair. Walter
E. Edge will be the next Governor of
this commonwealth, and we are glad
to be among the number who will as
sist in bestowing this honor upon him.

The latest issue of the Federal Re-
serve Bulletin, organ of the Federal
Reserve Banking system, runs true to
form in that it shows about &c per
cent. of all the rediscount business
for November to have been done in
those favored centers, Richmond, At
lanta and Dallas. The same issue
also contains a notice of an assess
ment upon the member banks to pay
the cost of operating the system. Are
Richmond, Atlanta and Dallas to pay
Sc per cert. of this assessment? Nay,
nay, Pauline. All the member banks,
everywhere, will pay their little one
tenth of n per cent. on their stock

A glance at the summary of the
United States Census force, given in
the annual report of the Director of
the Census, Hon. Sam. L. Rogers, of
North Carolina, shows the work of
taking the industrial and other sta
tistics of the United States during the
fiscal year was under the supervision
of TAO employees-special agents,
clerks, officials, ETC., while to collect
statistics of cotton 749 special agents
were carried on the payroll,-nine
more than the number handling all
The other work. Evidently a large
share of the fruit of the Census plum
tree hangs over the domain of King
Cotton. Furthermore, of the TAO com
prising the regular force, an unduly
large per cent. are from the Southern
States, and the director himself is a
tarheei. So far as the Census Office
is concerned, the South is in the sad
die, booted and spurred,-but riding
for a fall at the 1916 hurdle.

COMMISSIONERS DIsAPPR0vE.
Say Proposed Criminal Study Should
Be Nationwide,

That the investigation proposed
should be extended to the entire ma
tion rather than confined to the Dis
trict is the conclusion reached by the
District Commissioners regarding Sen
ate bill 34s5. providing for the estab-
lishment of laboratory in the Dis
trict for the study of the criminal.
pauper and defective classes.
ut is the opinion of the Commission
ers." they say in an adverse report to
Congress on the bill, that the meager
establishment recommended in the pro-
posed bill could not hope to make
sufficient studies to afford basis fer
any valuable conclusions. 1t would
seem that the establishment of such a
laboratory on proper scale should
be undertaken by the general govern
ment rather than by the District of
Columbia. The field of operation of
such bureau should not be less eX-
tensive than that of the nation. and
it's results should be available for the
guidance of all communities through
out the country"

Coast Freight Rates Advance.

Vessels employed in the freighting of
lumber and other cargoes between
Chesapeake bay and tributary ports are
now being benefited by the general ad-
vance in freight rates along the coast.
Many barges that were engaged in car
rying lumber. coal and other commo-
dities between Norfolk. Baltimore, this
city and other points on Chesapeake
bay and its tributaries are employed
in traffic on the coast and the vessels
left in the bay trade are now being
paid from So to 1925 thousand feet
on lumber. and there has been an ad-
vance in all bay freight. This is about
dollar advance over the rates pre-
vailing a few weeks ago. The coming
boating season promises to be one of
the best that vessel owners and mas
ters have seen in many years. 1t is
probable that vessels that have been
earning little or nothing for several
years past will in the coming year be
able to pay handsome dividends.

Forum Meets Real Need"
D. A. Edwards declared that the com
munity forum meets a real need of the
people of Washington. In the discus
sion from the floor, which followed the
formal addresses, DIR. X. A. Flanagan,
Leo Schoenthal, f. J. Ward of the bu-
reau of education and others spoke,
Miss Wilson closing the discussion.
In closing the discussion, Miss Will
son said: I'VE must remember that
what we are orga MIXING is forum of
the citizens of the United States. We
assemble in these buildings not only
to confer upon local matters, but upon
the great affairs of this nations life
and welfare. for which, at last, the peo-
pie are responsible. AS American citi-
zens our public assemblies should he
diEnifed. This is possible only when
our community servants are officially
recognized and made responsible by
proper public remuneration
Her resolution was unanimously in
dorsed. This was followed by a rising
vote OF appreciation OF the OeNOtlOn
that Miss Wilson is showing to the
public welfare. Upon motion of George
Mcleod. the assembly voted tG formal
ly request the board of education to
permit the use of the building on such
Sunday afternoons as may be arranged
with the principal of the building.
A business meeting of the citizens for
consideration of the forum constitu-
ton andselection of permanent officers
will be held at the Grover Cleveland
School Wednesday evening at o'clock.
