Havard's New Degree.

Anticipation aroused by Harvard's
announcement of a new degree, that
of Phi. D. in business economics, are
already being rapidly dissipated. In
stead of being a sign Of proficiency in
standing Wall street upon its head,
the new degree turns out to be meant
for teachers rather than practition-
ers Of business. The academic trail.
as usual, is over 1t all. There are
ominous remarks about the free use of
books in French and German, and
something about being well ground

tory. The fields" listed for the gen.
eral examination of the candidate for
the new doctorate are more to the
point, although economic theory Is
required for everybody instead of for
those only who do not intend to &c
into business, and there is nothing in
the description of the courses IN mar
keting. foreign trade, Industrial man
agement and labor problems, and
money and banking, about laboratory
work. II is but too evident that oul
most advanced universities still looh
upon their business courses as they
have long looked upon their Law
courses-as convenient means of i'm
parting knowledge merely. II Har

Tiny German States.

Some of the German states are Of
liliiputian size, as is evidenced by the
fact that 1t is quite possible to visit
eleven Of them, including two king
doms, two duchies and three princi-
palities. in an easy walk of four and
a half hours.
A good walker, starting from Stein
bach, in Bavaria, will arrive in half
an hour at Lichtentanne, which is sit

road proceeds in one and a half hours
to Rauschengesees (Reuss, elder

OF NEW YORK

Press Comments:

1t Is scarcely to be expected that Secre-
tary Of the Treasury McAdoo will agree
with anybody else as to the condition Of
the Treasury at any particular time, but
he certainly ought to be able to agree
with himself. On June 80, 1915, he is
sued q statement saying that excess of
ordinary expenditures over receipts for
the fiscal year ending ON that date was
$35, 1864. 38l.56. A year later he issued a
statement which included statistics for
the same period. but saying that the ex-
cess OF disbursements for the year end
ing june 30, 1916, was $40, 1857, 797. so.
II any Democrat is in doubt as to these
two conflicting statements having been
issued, let him write to the Secretary of
the Treasury and get the statements for
June 80, 1916 and 1915, both of which
give figures for 1916. but differing as
above stated. What would Secretary
McAdoo do to National Bank whose
statements covering idsntically the
same period Of time varied as much as
that?
To the critics Of President Wilson s
course in the management of American
affairs in and near Mexico, his supper
tiers triumphantly put this question:
What would you have done that Mr..
Wilson has not done?'' This does not
constitute defence or an explanation;
it will not be called a yindication. But
Frank 8. Engle. OF Chicago, secretary Of
the Frisco Salvador Ranching properties,
O refugee from Mexico. who escaped to
this country on the Dixie, has brought
back bit of news that would furnish 9
suggestion for an appropriate rejoindel
to this interrogatory. Mr.. Engle i!
quoted as saying:
Although we are Americans, we lool
to the British to protect our interests ir
Tampico."
We conceive that il Mr.. Hughesor Mr.
Root, or Colonel Roosevelt. or any othe
gentleman opposed to Wilson on bein1
asked what he would do that Mr.. Wilson
has not done, were to reply in words
something like the subjoined. his utter
anca would not provoke in this country
public disfavor:
II should SO conduct the foreign at
fairs Of the United States that every
American citizen in Mexico and every
where else would look to the American
Government and to no other Govern
ment for protection, and would lool
with confidence; and / should see to i
that that confidence was not disap
pointed. "-NeaO York Sun.

Courtship and marriage customs
among the Greenlanders were In early
times simple and unceremonious. We
are told that when a lovelorn youth
made up his mind as to the girl he
wanted to adorn and be useful in his
hut Of ice and snow he went to her
house. seized her by the hair or wher-
ever he could secure a good grip on
her and dragged her to his own do
main, where she was expected to stay
without any further marriage cere-

would perhaps soothe her lacerated
feelings by presenting her with a new
lamp.

Court Oninions.

Three opinions were filed by the judges
Of the Burlington county courts las
week. One was the case of Ella T. Coon
of Burlington, against Jacob Ellis, o.
the same place. for SLIPS. Mrs. Coon
made contract to buy property from
Ellis at Springside and paid $40 on ac.
count at the time of signing the agree
ment of sale. Later when she requested
the deed and offered the purchase price
Ellis refused to convey. The judgment
was for the $40 paid by Mrs. Coon and
500 damages under the contract and
costs of the suit. Robert Peacock repre-
scented Mrs. Coon and Ernest Watts
represented Mr.. Ellis.
In the case of A. Perlman VS.. George
Adds, both of Beverly, judgment of
$45 had been entered against Perlman
in the court below and this Judgment
was reversed and judgment for So and
costs entered for Perlman against Adds.
Mr.. Peacock represented Perlman and
Francis J. Smith represented Mr.. Adds.
In the circuit court Judge CaErow gave
an opinion in the case of Edward Cater
all and Robert Adams, of Beverly,
against Arthur d. Shields and Abram
Austin, for $500, interest and costs. This
case was where Walter Fenimore, JUS
tice of the Peace. took $500 bail in
criminal case and then left this state
with the money. The court held that
the Justice in leaving the jurisdiction of
this state with the money made his
bondsmen liable for his act. Mr.. Shields
and Mr.. Austin were his bondsmen and
judgment was rendered against them as
above. Robert Peacock represented
Catterall and Adams, and James NJ.

tin and Shields.

County Boys Camp a Great
Success.

O0kSOoos
Last Tuesday camp Ockanickon was
brought to successful close. This years
period was extended to four weeks there
by enabling large number of boys to
attend for one or more weeks.
This years camp was the largest ever
held. Nearly $50 boys from Burlington,
Camden, Gloucester and Monmouth
counties attended. Burlington county
had the largest representation.
The leaders from Burlington county
were as follows: Floyd Karg, Howard
Karg, Irving S. Warner, Robert c. Shoe
maker, Mount Holly; Robert Harris,
Cinnaminson; William R. Whitacre,
Marlton; Goodwin Donnelly, Flofence;
Samuel Burr, Robert Aaronson, Jr.,
Bordentown; John S. Carlile, Moores-
town; William /. Tomlinson, Marlton.
The tennis court and chute-the-chutes
added much enjoyment and pleasure.
No serious accidents or injuries mar
red the camp spirit. Many of the camp
ers are planning to spend more time
vAAOAS NAV yCuls AAC WCdblCI WAS lU6dI.
The director of the camp, Harry He'd
ley Smith, was assisted by associate
directors E. 7. Judd, David s. Rash and
Robert c. Shoemaker, who were respon-
sible for different departmental activities.
The evening entertainments were of
unusual interest. In addition to the diff
ferent camp elections, indoor track
meets, banquets, minstrel shows and
track meets, the following added to the
pleasure of the campers: Lecture by C.
p. WILDER. state firewarden; evening YES
per service, led by r. G.. Slifer, of Wood
bury; practical talk, by Assemblyman
Emmor Roberts, of Moorestown; illus
trated lecture on bees and bugs, by Ell
mer G. Carr, of New Egypt; address,
MY Fleet" by William F. Overman, of |
Moorestown; initiation of Fresh and a i
mock trial.
1t is hoped that Burlington county
can have camp reunion next spring so
that the different campers may renew
their friendships they formed at'camp.

81 have received an appeal signed by
a number of Republicans and party
friends, and approved by a number of
others whose signatures are not append
ed, asking me to consider the importance
OF the campaign in this state, and to
give my time and thought to its success,
unhampered by personal ambitions, and
to assist in bringing about party unity
rather than continue as one of the fact
ors in the primary struggle. The appeal
is one which l accept in the spirit in
which it was conceived-an earnest de-
sire to promote party harmony.
81 realize that the next administra-
ton, il Republican, would be under the
deepest obligation to the Republicans of
New Jersey If our party should sink all
personal differences and set an example
to the rest of the country by presenting
a united front for Hughes and Fair
banks. If the experience of the last few
years has not been altogether lost it has
| taught the Republicans that only in
unity is there strength.
ANY appeal for harmony, made in
good faith to one who believes that Re-
publican success will be a national bene-
| fit, merits his consideration, whether it
affects him favorably or adversely. No
man is greater than his party, when his
party's aim is to serve the common well
| fare.
'sThose who favor the election of
Charles z. Hughes must also favor the
election of q Republican Congress to
support his policies. New Jersey should
do her part in this work, and it is time
to begin now, rather than fritter away
the opportunity .in a prolonged strife
within the party ranks.
| IAN experienced observer must see
that the Republican party in this state
is in danger of drifting unconsciously
| into o contest whose intensity and con-
sequent bitterness will be keenly regret
ted and be detrimental if not disastrous.
1t requires some unusual step to chal-
lenge party attention and to awaken it
to sense of this danger Some one
must make this move.
Perhaps my long work in the party,
in its dark days as in its bright ones,
makes this incumbent upon me. If |
can serve the party in this respect, and
aid party harmony at the price of per
sOnal disappointment, | am content.
My ambition to be United States Sena-
tor has been long known-an ambition
that needs no apology. 1t is a hope
shall continue to entertain, but one
which, for the reasons stated, forego in
this contest.
The proffers of support which / have
received from many sources, the loyalty
Of many friends and the kind wishes fol
my success are gratefully appreciated
shall now fight in the ranks with those
who offered to fight in the ranks with
those who offered to fight for me, and
shall take an earnest hand in trying tC
straighten out the party differences.
