Nh EDITOR: l noticed the Borough

noticeable items are the large amounts

are the items OF &. 69S so paid out Oh

Burglars Make Raid

The homes of Lewis W. Cook, War
rem Risner and Frank j. Gaventa, at
South Broad and Walnut streets, We're
entered by burglars last Saturday night
between Z and 9 o'clock. while the fam
lies were out for the evening. On their
retur they learned that their houses
had been entered and several articles Of
money, jewelry and clothing stolen.
Messrs. Gaventa's and Risner's homes
were entered by back doors which We're
opened with skeleton keys. Mrs. Ga
venta's gold watch, rings and other valu-
able jewelry were taken. Chas. w. Both
well. cashier of the Peoples Bank, who
boards there, missed $3S and Il set of
cuff buttons. A gold brooch belonging
to Mrs. Boutwell, was also taken.
From Mr.. Risner's only jewelry, con
sisting of rings, bracelets, laviliere, lock
ct and chain, TO the value of about $40.
were taken.
Their skeleton keys did not work the
lock in Mr.. Cooks back door so the
pantry window was entered. Several
pieces of jewelry We're taken including
her gold beads. Her diamond breast pin
Mas found on the third foor where they
went to get his best overcoat and learn
ed that it was gone. Their loss is valu-
ed between $50 and 500.
1t is evident that the burglars were
acquainted with the premises and had
learned when the families are usually
away. No clue has been found to the
burglars nor to the whereabouts of the
articles stolen.

Need An Appropriation

Several young men in Salem and the
~neighboring townships comprise a COM
pam of militia known as Company A,
Bird Regiment Natl. Guards of New Jer-
sey. Every company receives $500 from
the State, which is used to pay for rent
of 'armory, pay quartermaster, pay U.
s. Army Sergeant, light, heat, etc. In
every county where there is a Company
of National Guards, trained militiamen,
the Board of Freeholders encourage the
spirit of patriotism for national defense
by appropriating a like sum of $500.
Salem County should do the same, in
the opinion of the editor of the Penns
Grove Record. At present the mem
bers go down in their own pockets to
pay much of the expense of military drill
and knowledge which every citizen should
have knowledge. Capt. H. B. Keasby
says: you nave no idea of the discour-
agements met by one who is trying to
dc his bit towards training the young
men to know how to defend our home
Ian from possible oppression"
We regret we did not have the dis
cipline when a boy, as We believe it
would have been beneficial to our ply
steal health. We know it has been to
the benefit of two sons at the State Col
lege, Rutgers. If we had our way there
would be a scout master in every Gram
mar school and a drill master in every
High School to teach the fundamental
principles of military drill according to
U s. military tactics, so that boys and
girls would be taught how to stand, walk,
sit and march in a proper manner for the
benefit of better discipline and citizens
team work, for the benefit of personal
as well as public welfare. Every teach
er should know the disciplinary drill
needed to handle large bodies of pupils.

SHACKLEFORD AFTER HIS Vl-

 In the last campaign he held
 secret meet ng n Seattle (that

 seCreD with Strong, Cheney,
 Erwin, and other regulars and
 they agreed to all vote the same
 ticket and divide the offices be-
 tween them. The main purpose
 of this political conspiracy was
 to defeat Wickersham, buc they
 fell 5000 short. So far az the
 division of the offices were con-
 ctFned it has worked admi1a bly,
 for Cheney and Strong have lived
 up to their contract and given
 Shackleford full measure. In
 this campaign Shackleford, the
 Groef, comes offering gifts He

HE GREATEST OF THESE WAS
 LINCOLN.

In the character of the avtraordi nary man whose assassination oe cured fifty-one years ago nc>' Fri day there were mixed so many ad mirable elements of strength and goodness that 1t is hard to say which did predominate.
 Yet We think that most of the -ountrymen of Abraham Lincoln would say that his chief charac ,eristic was his good common ~or-.
 The great President Was always one of the common people His speech was racy of the s1iI His powerful frame was the lear f,am of the backwoOdsman The jnnu- rlerable stories with which he Illus trated and illumlneI his arcuucnts and his appeals were stories ot the frontier. and smaeked of the Hl cf the farm. the village. tne woods eLd the prairies And he was full Of the holuely common sense which made our pioneer fathers ar1 moth ers such capahle men and women so full of courage and of resource and of what they themselves called nother-wit-
 To this ines.mable possession the great President added a noble can dor of mind and speech, a cb!e ia tegrity of deed and soul. Tc Va always brave man and e3oa man In the course of his ey-ntfu years he became a very wite nan And never did any man utter thoughts with more powerful and more splendid eloauence tan did he when finally. through b'loE NJ ters and wild storms of attraction md hatred. ne cane al last into the sunlight of his far r-Hown and saw all the wo'Id or tipfoe @ catch the words which fell like nobIest music from his wondrous lips
 Witness for him and r.s fame those speeches and papers of state which are not surpassed " the Highest effort9 of tho genius of pemosthenes himself The wo peri ods of agonizing stress which have tefallen this land of ours were, of course, the Revolution and he Civil War, and we can never be thankful enough that in each of tHesc the good providence of Almighty Gcc raised up captain able @ lca lis people to victory and to save 10 the world the inspiration of a democracy enduring the t'sts of peace and war and growing in might and dominion and II hes un- der it's institutions of order Iiber- ty.
 We are still oldfashioned c'.ough to pronounce with gratitu 1e and with reverence the names of George Washington and A )raham LiLcoln
 And the greatest of these s Abra- ham Lincoln
