20 sell their stock" he said, car
rying with it control of the company
for $500 a share. II would have
meant more than s50,000,000 TO Mr..
Schwab. But not share would ne
sell.
Failing that, il was urged thst we
divide each existing share into SIX
shares without par value. In view OF
the extraordinary legend which had
come TO be attached 70 Bethlehem ana
its supposed profits. any such plan
might have resulted in boosting the
equivalent in an old share OF Betnle-
nam to an absurd figure in the stock
market But Mr.. Schwab again TOOK
the position that under no circum-
stances would he agree that the pollcy
Of Bethlehem should be guided by con
siderations Of the stock market. Inc
management would do nothing. to
facilitate speculatng in it's stock"
Mayor Mitchell. IN touching on the
happy prospect Of peace, declared tnat
the American government should ac-
cept Mr.. Schwab's offer. made WITH sueh
conscientious and patriotic spirit.
"God grant that when peace does
come il will last forever he SAID
but what pIOiHiNt h"'t
will? Mr.. Schwab has told you IS
proof of our greatness that while we
have only one-seventh OF the popula-
ton Of the world we possess one-thlrn
of the worlds wealth. Is this not ~
itself threat against our security
Ia not this fact enough 70 cause US
10 look toward the protection OF tnat
which we possess? Mr. Schwabs pub
lie spirited offer to the government
is one that should be grabbed at. IL
is men like w, Schwab whom ths
country needs. Only with sound pre-
hardness in our industrial life ana
universal military training based on
cur principles Of democracy can We reel

NO VOTE TAKEN

ON WET MOTION
Committee Simply Refers Judge
Weiss Resolution TO Reso-
Iutions Committee

The Republican County Committee
at it's meeting in Bryant Hall last
night refused to 60 on record on. pro-
hibition. When an attempt was made
to introduce a resolution contrary to
the recently expressed views on that
subject by Governor Whitman it Great
ed considerable amusement and met
with decided objection.
Judge Frederick De Witt Wells. Of
the Municipal Court, offered the reso-
luton without having previously &C
ouainted Chairman Samuel s. Koenig
with its nature.
Notwithstanding the recent utter
ances Of his excellency the Governor.
said Judge Wells, land in view of re
cent expressions in Congress, | wish
70 offer a resolution. | believe that
the Republican County Committee
should go on record as unalterably
and irrevocably opposed to prohibition.
| feel some trepidation in discussing
this matter, as | am member of the
bench, but | am persuaded that the
Governor, in his recent discussion Of
the subject, perhaps was Influenced by
the fact that our late candidate for
President was a Baptist and that the
chairman of the campaign committee
was a Baptist. II is likely that bap-
tism of water has permested the execu-
tive mansion at Albany"
Collin II. Woodward, Republican
leader Of the 23d Assembly District,
interrupted the speaker at this point
and objected to further discussion Of
the subject
In the confusion that followed DR..
Frederick II. Marshall, Superintendent
Of Elections, moved for an adjourn
ment and Judge Wells was finally
forced to sit down. His resolution
was referred to the committee on reso-
lutions.

Mr.. Schif. as chairman Of the evening,
pointed out that New York would have

81 am only too certain that the coun-

has shown so fine spirit in coooerat-

New York's lead, if New York sets only
the right pace. And so We turn once
more with every confidence to you and
TO those whom we should reach direct
ly and indirectly through you to start
this evening a new campaign of Jewish
war relief for 1917.
THE suggestion has been made ear
lier this week that America combine
forces for war relief in Europe; that
America furnish the funds TO rebuild
Europe. which is a splendid suggestion.
There is no reason, in my opinion, why
Jew and Gentle should not join hands

Tea Table Talks
BY May De Witt TaImage
SHOES THAT SQUEAK.

NltVI4N Hal ~ - ~
IL was a sturdy little fellow who
stood in front of us. looking with
great deal Of pride at his new shoes.
But after taking "A step or two a
look Of disappointment came over
MS face as he exclaimed: But they
don't squeak"
What do you mean?' We asked.
why. if they don't squeak" he
said in a plaintive voice, when 1
60 down the aisle on Sunday, no
one viii know that I have on my
new shoes"
What a world of philosophy there
was in that complaint How much
of life was made up for grown ups
in looking for the squeak. How II
is played up 10 until it is often the
question, rs the motive behind
every action or deed, purely philan-
thropical or just a squeak that will
buy commentator, applause, or
praise. Does every man or woman
name attached TO some charity, or
some economoic improvement for
the betterment Of humanity, mean
real altruism or is ii just squeak
That squeak is heard in all direc-
tons nowadays. 1t is a good thing
sometimes. 1t draws our attention to
worthy objects that otherwise might
pass unnoticed. 1t is like advertising
which has become such a factor in
cur overy day life. The advertised
squeak brings millions into pockets
every year. If things don't squeak in
this goth century they get little at
tention.
But there is a kind Of squeak that
is Objectionable to everybody. 1t
gets on your nerves; it irritates you.
1t makes the person from whom it
emanates obnoxious to those around
them. 1t comes from the people
who are continually attracting atten-
ton to themselves. 1t is the self
made man or woman who never let's
you forget what I did" the man or
woman whom we would all admire
and praise if they were not so
anxious to call our attention to
themselves by the self laudatory
squeak.
Then there is the woman who
thinks herself beautiful, and we
would agree with her were it not for
the fact that she is always trying to
impress us with the fact There is
the funny man" or witty woman"
who become such bOres because they
never let up on the squeak.
Yes. there are lots Of grown ups"
who, like that boy, lose all the pleas
ure of life if the boots don't squeak.
