SINGLE TAKERS OPPOSE
SPECIAL State TICKET

Several hundred persons attended
the debate given under the auspices
of the Y. p. S. L. at the Socialist Hall,
No. 7O2 Market street, yesterday after
noon. Jerome Reiss of Philadelphia,
noted Single Taxer and Edward
Norton Of this city, were the leaders,
The topic was: Socialism VS.. Single
Tax" There was no decision.
Owing to the great interest taken in
the debate it was suggested that a
public forum be organized and a re-
quest made of the Board of Education
for the use Of school buildings to dis
cuss public questions. Local Single
Takers, however, opposed this propo-
sition. 1t was said that while leading
Single Takers of Pennsylvania desired
the followers Of Henry George in this
State to organize a political party, To-
cal Single Takers were opposed to
such a plan. 1t was said that more
good could be accomplished by throw
ing the single tax vote to those candi-
dates Of the Republican and Democra-
tic parties who favor the initiative and
referendum.
The motion to form a forum was not
seconded at the meeting. 1t was said
that similar debates would be held
here, however from time to time.

No NEUTRALITY ON
Great MORAL issues
DR.. Randolph Fears Amer
lea May Pay For SideStep-
ping Belgian Question
DRAWS LESSON
FROM PILATES LIEF

DIR. Herbert J. Randolph preached
to a large audience in Grace NJ. T..
Church last night on the Neutrality
Of Pontius PLATE" The usual musi-
cal program preceded the sermon. The
combined choirs gave the selections
with rare effectiveness. Miss Saylor
sang the offertory with her usual
strength and beauty. Mr. Morgan
greatly delighted the audience with
his organ selections.
Taking as his text the question OF
Pontius Plate, "Wnat Shall Do
Then With Jesus, Who is Called
Christi" DR.. Randolph emphasized
three points as eXpresse' by the text,
the inevitableness OF Christ; the in
evitableness OF the alternative pre-
sented, and the inevitableness of the
decision. DR.. Randolph said Pilates
Mistake Was in trying to dodge the
issue as presented. "He sought to
avoid rendering "a decision on Christ
and in so doing was compelled to
pronounce the decision which sent
Christ to His cross" the preacher
said. 1T was a case of the cruel
irony of fate that the man who sought
TO avoid any responsibility for the
death of Christ has been loaded with
the ignominy of having put him to
death.
"Then Pilot tried to sidestep the is
sue by being neutral when he was
called upon to decide between right
and wrong"
At this point Dr. Randolph address,
ed himself to question OF the attitude
of the United States, in taking a neu-
tral position when Belgium was be-
ing impalled upon the cross Of death. "
He declared that all nations must ul-
timately pay the price Of being neutral
when great moral issues are at stake
and he predicted that the United States
would finally be compelled to pay the
price of sidestepping her responsible
ity at that hour Of crisis.
Every man must some day pay the
cost OF being neutral, as did Plate
DR.. Randolph continued. "The only
salvation is to be found in facing the
linescapable Christ and deciding for
the right. regardless OF results"
He closed with an appeal for de-
cision on the part OF his auditors. AT
the close OF the sermon Mrs. kemery
sang the solo, What Shall Do With
Jesus?'
In the morning DR.. George Edward
| Reed, a former pastor, preached on

CUT This OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATAR-
RHAL DEAFNESS AND HEAD
NOISES.

If YOU know of some one who Is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness, head
noises or ordinary catarrh, cut out this
formula and hand it to them and you
will have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. In England scientists for a
long time past have recognized that ca
tarrh is a constitutional disease and ne
cessarily requires constitutional
treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are
liable to irritate the delicate air pass
apes and force the disease into the mid
die ear, which frequently means total
deafness. or else the disease is driven
down the air passages towards the
lungs. which is equally as dangerous.
The following formula, which is used ex-
tensively in the damp English climate,
is constitutional treatment and
should prove especially efiicacious TO
sufferers here who live under more IA
vorable climate conditions.
Secure from your Druggist ounce of
Parmint Double strength). Take this
home and add toit q pint of hot water
and ounces of granulated sugar; stir
until dissolved. Take one tablespoon
full four times a day. This will often
bring quick relief from distressing head
noises. Clogged nostrils should open,
breathing become easy and hearing inn
prove as the Inflammation in the Gus
tachian tubes is reduced. Parmint is
used in this way as it acts directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system and has a slight tonic action
that facilities the recovery of the pa
tient. The preparation IS easy to make
costs little and is pleasant TO take
Every person who has catarrh should

Our Pastors Farewell
BY EDWARD DE LACOUR.

Silently the morning sunlight
Drove the heavy mist away,
That was wantonly lingering
Ger our city one Sunday.
Blessed rest day, how we love it;
Greatest boon to mortals given;
Through its hours our thoughts go up
ward
To the giver, God, in Heaven.
Sweet came tones of church bells ring
ing
On this damp and chilly morn;
Wrapped in winters sleep was nature,
OF its beauty it was shorn.
Scene outside was very gloomy,
And our hearts were very sore,
For we were to part with pastor,
Perchance on earth to meet no more.
Other fields and duties called him,
Newer friends would round him cling
OF him by its touch fond memory
Kindest thoughts of him would bring
Not much outward grief was shown,
Neither by the old or young;
Silent sorrow is Oft deepest,
It cannot he told by tongue.
So we said; "Good-bye dear pastor,'
With the wish when life was DER
We would all he reunited
On the bright, eternal shore.

ARMY BILL Will
Be PUSHED AHEAD
Senate Leaders Sidetrack
Free Sugar Repeal
Measure
HOUSE TO ACT
ON WATERWAYS

WASHINGTON. April 3.-Congress
will devote its attention during the
coming week to army reorganization
and to rivers and harbors legislation.
The indications today are that all else
win ne excluded.
A decision has been reached by Sen
ate leaders. for instance, to hold back
the repeal OF the free sugar clause
OF the Underwood iarin act until the
Chamberlain army bill comes to a
vote, provided. of course. that the de-
bate on this measure is not prolong-
ed too far
II the free sugar repeal legislation
Is TO be opportune. IL must be enacted
in both branches of Congress and ap-
proved by the President before May l..
on that date the section of the Under
wood law placing sugar on the free
list will become operative, unless re-
pcaled in the meantime. Senator
Simmons. chairman of the finance
committee. is convinced that he will
have plenty of time TO bring mp the
repeal resolution after the vote is
taken on the amy bill.
So iar the opposition to the army
bill n the Senate has centered about
minor details No general assault has
hcen launched upon IL, and the indica-
lions are that none will be. There are
Jew senators who oppose any increa ~
whatever in the standing army, but
4hcv make no effort to delay vote, ac-
cordno to- their leaders
Present calculations are that the
Chamberlain bin viii pass by the end
of this week and that IL will have an
overwhelming majority. Senate leaders
arc anxious TO have the affirmative vote
as large as possible for the moral effect
II viii have upon the House when the
final drive is made TO substitute the
Senate bin for that fathGcd by Repre-
eonfative Hav In the lower body.
The House has settled down TO a
general discussion of individual projects
and Amendments to the Rivers and llar.
bors bin and expects to spend most II
not ALL Of the week debating various
phases of the measure. TINS wall he the
largest appropriation bill which the
House will have passed.
There still exists a large measure
of uneasiness over the possible rate
Of the rivers and harbors legislation
In the Senate. Almost every member
of the House has a personal interest
In one section OF another of the pend
ing bill despite the embargo against
"new projects" and while members
of the Senate are presumed to have
the same interest, it is possible for
mere handful Of Senators to repea
the performance OF one and two yoar
ago. when the bin was practically de
feated by ilibuster.
The general supply bills are eX-
pected to have the right OF way in
The House when rivers and harbors
are voted upon. and they will be
brought forward as rapidly during the
next month or six weeks as the vari-
Gus committees can prepare them for
action.
