Nothing can be more repugnant to
the American sense of justice than the
persistence with which the courts Of
various sections Of the country, doubt
less aggravated by special interests OF
a selfish nature, hound that ever
growing body Of religionists known
as Christian Scientists. For the third
or fourth time this year the great
state Of New York has lent itself to
a form of persecution which seeks to
convict a man who practices the art
OF healing with prayer. The strang-
est part Of each proceeding is found
in the language of the warrant which
charges the accused OF practising
medicine without a license" II
prayer is to be incorporated into ma
terra medica, then every mother whC
has knelt beside the cradle of her
sick child, and every minister of the
gospel who has asked the prayer of
Lis congregation for some afflicted
member, has been equally guilty and
has practised medicine without IL
Cense.
It seems that Christian Scientists
go accused are held guilty of the
death OF a patient when death en-
sues; yet when we enter the recog-
niZed circles Of medical practice,
where the death totals run UP into
the thousands every yea in given
l.,
nor should any one be. The annual
report OF the New York state depart
ment OF health shows that there
were approximately fifty-fve hundred
deaths from pneumonia alone during
the last year, all under one form or
another Of medical treatment. Nat
urally. there was no talk of "investi-
cation" at the hands Of the state
authorities.
In one OF the cases under discus
sion the Christian Science practition-
er was indicted on the ground that he
had accepted a fee. Here again we
have n glaring case OF Inconsistency,
for II "thc laborer is worthy OF his
hire" in other walks OF life, surely
he who prays and believes that "the
PRAYER OF faith shall save the sick
is worthy OF II when he enters the
religious field; otherwise. all minis
tors cf the gospel should serve with
out pay. To our way Of thinking. he
who seeks 20 cure without resort "a
quackery or fraud should enjoy the
measure OF liberty which is accorded
all other classes OF citizenship In q
free aud enlightened country.

~ASSEMBLYMAN WHITMAN.
Atlantic City Tattler.

From Atlantic City Tattler.
Assemblyman Bertram E. Whitman
is now serving his second term in the
lower branch of the Legislature. He
has a magnificent record in his two
years of service as one of Atlantic
County's representatives. He has act
ed on numerous occasions during the
present session as Speaker of the
House, and with so much credit to
himself, that his Republican col
leagues at Trenton, have hailed him
as the next Speaker of the House.
Mr.. Whitman enjoys the confidence
and friendship of every member of
the House, and it is reasonably sure
that should he again be a candidate
and be successful in November, that
he would guide the destinies of the
House in the session of 1917.

RESOLUTIONS

At a regular meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Workingmen's
Building & Loan Association held
April 10th, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas it has pleased the Supreme
Ruler of the Universe to take from
our midst our beloved co-worker,
Tobias L. Mcconnell;
Therefore be it Resolved, that in his
death, while yet in the full vigor of all
his power and with the hope of years
still before him, the Workingmen's
Building & Loan Association of Pleas
antville has suffered irreparable loss.
The ripe experience of years brought
by him to our Board of Directors has
been most valuable. To US he was an
ideal director, always attentive,
prompt and consistent; and as a citi-
zen, progressive, positive, fearless and
honest; in every relation of life he
bore his part well. Therefore, as a
token of our love for him we offer this
memorial.
Resolved, that a copy of these reso-
lutions be engrossed and presented to
the family, and that they be spread
upon the minutes and published in The
Pleasantville Press.

probably no appointment ever made

he's given greater satisfaction to the
public at large than that of DR.. Hen

efficient appointment could have been
made. DIR. Munro enjoys the conf
dence, good will and esteem of every
one who knows him. We c~ongratu-

TO RID CHILD OF WORMS

Don't scold the fretful, nervous
child. Often its due to worms. Get
rid of these by giving one-half to n
lozenge Kickapoo Worm Killer, a lax

nourishing food, lots of outdoor exer-
else and put to bed early. Watch

Worm Lozenges, they will positively
remove the worms. 25c. at Druggists.

more an absolute necessity in social
and commercial life. Without it but
slight success in either will be achiev-
ed. We need a whole Souled cam
paign in the interest of u schools,
for in the efficiency of our educational
system lies to a great extent the fu-
ture of our children and our children's
children.

GOOD CHURCHES-We need spir-
itual as we'll as mental development,
for without it we can not hope to at
tain that degree of manhood and wo-
manhood which our expanding intel
lects demand. Good churches and
more churches are needed, and we
need to view them from within instead
of from without. $50 to church Eas-
ter"

GOOD HOUSES-The most brill
liant of minds are dulled and blunted
by dismal surroundings. Good houses
and attractive homes are excellent
food for the mind. Clean up, paint
up, and keep the home up. 1t costs
pennies and breeds dollars.
X X Y
GOOD STORES-Great mercantile
successes are never achieved from dis
NAL and u~nattractive surroundings.
Bats, owls and a few others seek the
darkness, but all others bask in the
sunshine of life. Neatness, tidiness,
brightness, happiness, all are attract
i've to the n whose soul is the
same-and humans, like the butterfly,
seek the bright spots of existence.
Be wise.
X X X
GOOD SHOPS-Even the shop may
be in keeping with the mind and the
energy of the man 1t may not be as
spotless as other places, but it may
show a spirit of thrift and persever-
ence which breathes of success in af-
ter life. Good shops bring good re-
suits and make better towns. But as
is the man, SC is the shop.
\ X \
GOOD ROADS-No other thing is
quite so essential to the success and
development of a community as good
roads. No other element of success
is so easy to attain where all of the
people have the will and the determi-
nation to do. Good roads mean ev-
erything to US, collectively and indi-
~vidually, and we need good roads and
better roads, and we should go after
them and get them.
X X X
GOOD BUSINESS-We can have it,
if we pay proper attention to u
schools, and our churches, and our
houses, and stores, and shops, and
roads, and all of the thousand and one
other elements that have a place in
the making of a prosperous CONNER
cial center. We want it, and we can
get it if we go after it with the spirit
and determination to succeed, but we
must go as a community unit and not
as one or two isolated individuals.
Who volunteers for better business?
X Y X
GOOD PEOPLE-But the success
of all depends wholly upon the mental,
moral and physical calibre of the peo-
pie. If they are good people," other
things will be proportionately good.
Our people are good people, but we
could be even better than we are, and
our successes would enhance in pro-
portion to our qualities and our eff
forts. Good people are desirable, but
better ones are prizes in the sea of
life. Let's all be prizes.

Old and Young
And again, howdy!
n n n
Go to church Easter!
n n n
Read up, speed up, and pay up.
n n n
Spring, however, will be here when
it gets here.
Unto each life some rain must fall'
and it does.
But we repeat, every man has
brains-even you.
n a n
Something "bully" among the ads
this week. Dig it out.
n n n
No peace anywhere, you say? To
be SURF there is-in heaven
n n n
When close pressed Villa might take
refuge in his $4,000 bath tub.
n n n
No, there is never anything new I'M
der the sun-except u jokes.
n n n
Dead men tell no tales, but a living
gossip keeps the world in a squirm.
n n n
The man who thinks only of self
wastes his thoughts upon a poor sub
ject.
Come on with the next thriller.
Even our own little war is becoming
stale.
A brave mar lets others do the talk
ing, while the coward toots his own
horn.
Spread the good cheer to others.
1t may warp your own face into a
smile.
What, you wonder, does your neigh
Dor think of you? Your own actions
tell the story.
1t will be a crime against nature if
the war deprives us of the dyes for
our Easter eggs.
Now, really, did any one imagine
that Villa would simply squat down
and wait to be captured?
n n n
Occasionally, however, some be-
nighted soul forgets himself and re-
members the Golden Rule.
n n n
Villa has been killed so many times
the public will not believe it when the
cuss really does stretch hemp.
There's a fellow we know who is so
grouchy he'd growl about the weather
if it rained silver dollars. He'd want
'em to be gold.
Henpecked? Not a bit of it. We
want it distinctly understood that we
are master of our own home-when
our wife'S away.
II n n
The horse lever travels faster than
its W tail, and the merchant keeps
pace usually with the quality and
quantity of his advertising. You can
always tell.
n n n
It's a fact we have never set the
world ablaze with our editorial genius,
but we are a deal too diplomatic to
name the prettiest baby, the most
beautiful or the smartest man
in Pleasantville.
Every loyal citizen should p~atronize
the home merchant whenever possible.
And the loyal merchant should demon
strate his own business sagacity by
.patronizing the home paper. A rule
is not a rule unless it proves itself.
n n n
Politely speaking, in the matrimo-
NAL market money is the connecting
link between the cradle and the
grave. In vulgar English, it enables
a %doddering old millionaire buck to
buy a doll faced chicken for a wife.
