THE THIRD NECESSITY

Something to Eat, Something to
Wear, Something to Read-these are
the three primal necessities of life in
this stage of civilization. The first
OF the trinity is the oldest-a purely
material necessity, yet one which will
always holds it's primacy; the second
dates from the dawn of individual
consciousness, and was the first step
away from utter materialism; through
the third came the reign of reason and
human fellowship, the exchange and
development of ideas, the march of
mankind steadily toward the clearer
light.
The newspaper holds together the
fabric of social life in the world. 1t
is the high device through which the
neishbor- spirit is made all-embracing.
Through its service to use we COM
prehend our fellows in the remote
places of the earth. We understand
their aspirations, realize their kinship
to us, and make them our neighbors
and brethren
The newspaper answers, more ef-
fectually than any other form of the
printed word, to the Third Necessity
10 impede it's progress, to halt its
usefulness through greed of gain, is
to menace the common Editor
and Publisher.

BRIDGEToN's INDUSTRY

We rather feel that the people of
Bridgeton who have looked over the
manufacturers exhibit at the Com
mercial League rooms, have been
greatly surprised with the diversity
of the product shown by Bridgeton
manufacturers. Bridgeton has more
industrial plants than any city of it's
size anywhere. 1t has a greater di-
versity of product. 1t is employing
more people, Bridgeton's present in
dustry is much more important than
scarce anyone realizes and the plants
are growing all the time and they are
being augmented by other concerns.
The Commercial League, with it's
Manufacturers exhibit, has given but
mere hint of the magnitude of
Bridgeton's industry, but it serves as
an educator and will awaken an in
terest There are forty manufactur-
Ing concerns in Bridgeton of consid-
cradle magnitude. Thirty-six of these
producing concerns have made a
small exhibit of their product and
this miniature exposition is being
shown at the Commercial League
rooms. Everyone should see it. 1t
will be revelation to most people.
1t certainly reflects credit upon tbe
city.
1t is to be hoped that this effort
will lead Bridgeton to make a demon
stration in the future that will at
tract more than local attention. The
city should make a municipal exposi-
tion that would provide for Bridgeton
more widespread publicity and adyer-
tising than the Labor Day parade of
two years ago. 1t would be a big
business carnival in which every
manufacturer, every utility, every
merchant and all of the nearby far
mers could participate. There would
result a business carnival worth
while, one that would benefit the
community and the indicated exhibit
tor and demonstrator as well. In the
early fal time such an enterprise
would eclipse the old time County
Fair, and if conducted for week.
would bring thousands of people here
from all parts of the east.

THE RETURN OF THE GREAT
LINERS

One way of restoring the depleted
British tonnage is to put the great
liners which were withdrawn when
the war began, into service again.
The Mauretania, Aquitania, Olympic.
France. Belgenland and Statendam
can materially increase the cargo ca
pacity of the lines that own them. par
ticularly if the passenger accommo-
dation is reduced or cut out. Fur
thermore, the first four can MAINTAIN a
speed of at least twenty-five knots,
and the others, which were taken
from their owners while compIetina
can presumably do twenty knots. This
will give them advantage in escaping
submarines which slower ships do not
have. If they are conveyed through
the danger zone, as they doubtless
will be, they should be able to carry
big loads in comparative safety.
Bridgeton pioneer., 1917-03-01
GIVE THE PEOPLE FOOD

1t is important that the govern
ments of state and nation, and the
city, too, for that matter, take prompt
action to relieve the food situation.
Governments oftentimes take dras-
tic measures to meet exceptional or
dangerous situations. If the govern
ment needs supplies it seizes them.
If a city needs room for a new street
or public building, and can't get it
any other way, it simply takes pos
session and settles afterward.
Here are people needing food, and
from present indication the need is
likely to grow more and more acute.
Those who are suffering most have
the least opportunity to ward away
the danger. 1t is time for govern
ments to step in, and those public
officials who are in a position to take
action will endear themselves to what
we call the common people if theil
action is immediate and effective.
Investigations and probes and com.
, missions are all right in their way
but to offer the people an investiga.
, ton that may drag along for months
when they are actually needing bread
is shameful mockery.

MILLvILLE BONE DRY

The ordinance recently enacted by
the City of Millville for lie regulation
of the liquor traffic. Will make that
town bone dry if the provisions of the
ordinance are enforced. 1t is said
that lot of the local club room peo-
pie over in Millville, are making an
effort to force referendum vote up
ON the ordinance. A petition is being
circulated or a referendum election.
but the fellows who are signing the
paper are in a panic because it is
threatened to print the names of sign
ers. Why should this be a scare?
Surely the fellow who advocates the
distribution of liquor believes in Ii
quor. and he should not be ashamed
of the faith within him.

INDUSTRY

Bridgeton has a vast amount of in
dustry. Bridgeton has important
plants. These plants employ a large
number of people. The product
turned out by the industrial concerns
go out to all parts of the world. 1t is
quite certain that many of us living
right here in Bridgeton do not fully
appreciate the Importance of local in
dustrial enterprise, if indeed we know
where and what all the plants are. 1t
is quite doubtful if there are a score
of men here who can name the forty
manufacturing enterprises now doing
business here. Tonight the Bridgeton
Commercial League will give some
indication of the industrial enterprise
in Bridgeton. At least 80 of the local
concerns will make a demonstration
tonight at the League rooms. 1t will
be the first occasion of the kind ever
attempted here. 1t is thought that
the exhibit tonight will be the fore
runner of demonstration to be held
here upon some other occasion, that
will provide a great exposition, one
that will attract attention throughout
all this section of the country. In a
get-together, pull-together spirit, ev
cry one should take personal inter-
est in this industrial exposition pro-
vided by the Bridgeton Commercial
League.

IN BUSINESS
today >

These are trying days for men en-
gagged in business. Abnormal prices,
great scarcity of all lines of goods
and difficulties encountered in making
shipments, all tend to harass the mer-
chant and other business men and
provides conditions wholly unsatisr
factory. Two classes of tradesmen
are especially brudened with perplex-
ing problems. They are the grocery
man and the coal dealer. We are
quite sure that several of these local
business men would be exceedingly
glad and much relieved if they could
be entirely rid of their business. One
groceryman recently said in the pres
ence of the Pioneer: at hurts fell
low to deal with people who are
Obliged to dole out their pennies for
the merest necessities of life and then
feel that these women ad children are
going home with little to eat. No one
understands this better than the groc-
er and butcher
Constantly mounting prices, prohi-
bitive prices in some lines, makes it
difficult to do business, and it is quite
the fact that even with the very high
prices charged the grocers are doing
business upon a smaller margin of
profit than when prices were normal.
In many instances goods are sold al
most at cost, because wholesale prices
are within a shade of being prohibi-
/, tive.
i The coal dealer is in the same posi-
ton. None Of the local coal men will
| make much money this year They
have been obliged to add enormously
to their operating charges in being
| obliged to constantly deliver small
quantities of coal in place of more
/; substantial orders. The coal dealers
| too, are selling upon a smaller mar
/ gin of profit than when coal prices
are normal, and much extra money is
| expended in an effort to secure sup
1 ply.

WON'T BAR BONEHEADS

An Englishman in an expensive
New York hotel broke the glass and
punched the auxiliary fire alarm but
ton. He wanted the lift, which is
Londonese for elevator. He got a
battalion of fire apparatus and fine
collection of hard looks. Over in New
Jersey a man deposited few hum
dred circulars in a new rubbish can.
He wanted to mail them. They were
later retrieved from the city dump.
Some time ago a New York citizen
opened a fire alarm box and pulled
the hook. He wanted to mail letter,
but, like the Englishman, he achieved
fire apparatus and hard looks.
The point is, says an exchange, that
these three men and hundreds like
them, who daily rise to rarefied
heights of boneheadedness, could cas-
lily pass the literacy test which con-
gress has erected between the immi-
CANT and the land of promise.

THAT COAL SHORTAGE

Speaking of high prices, how can
any one account for the prevailing
prices of coal and the alleged short
age of the coal supply in the face Of
the fact, as reported by the United
States director of mines, that there
were 650O0,O0O more tons of coal
mined in 1915 than in 1915?
Moreover, there are improved meth
DDS of mining and better facilities for
handling the product. The increase
in coal production means an extra
three-fifths of a ton of coal for every
man, woman and child in the United
States over and above the precedins
year. Who burned it?

PAINLESS PICTURES

A process worked out by a New
York photographer promises to make
the task of getting ones picture TAX
en- much less painful. 1t is an adap-
tation of the motion picture idea. The
operator uses a movie camera, for
the sake of catching the subject in a
natural pose. There is none of the
usual please look pleasant business.
The "sitter' is encouraged to act nor
mally-to smoke, talk, laugh, read or
work, according to his own taste,
while the camera clicks away making
a record of all his shifting positions
and expressions.
When the negative is developed,
the photographer makes a positive
film and throws it on a screen for his
patrons inspection. Out of the scores
, or hundreds of pictures the patron
has to choose from, he selects the one
he likes the best, and the photograph
er proceeds to make an enlarged
print.
The process is said to be artistic
as we'll as pleasant. The prints have
"the soft, harmonious effect that is so
much in vogue among leading photo
graphers today"
And how this simplifies the almost
impossible task of getting a good por-
trait of the ever-moving baby!

EDGE FOR SENATOR

The Trenton correspondent seems
pretty well assured that Governor
Edge is to be United States Senator.
The correspondent writes these views
for the paper: 4
Although Governor Edge has given
no direct intimations respecting his
future political ambitions, he is
picked by close observers of the po-
litical situation as the probable sue
cessor of William Hughes in the Unit
ed States Senate. The new Senator
will be elected next year and will
take Office on March 4, 1919, by which
time Governor Edge will have served
as chief executive during three legis-
lative sessions and will, in all proba-
bility, have completed the most i'm
portant duties falling to the Governor
during the term for which he was
elected.
Should political events shape
themselves as now seems probable,
the president of the Senate two years
hence will become Acting Governor
of New Jersey from March 4, 1919,
until a new Governor is inducted in
to office in January, 1920. The expert
,ence will not be a new one for the
State. 1t is what happened when Gov
ernor Wilson resigned to become
President and when Governor Griggs
srelinquished his office to become At
torney General of the United States
during the term of President McKin-
ley.
THAT Governor Edge can have the
Republican nomination for the Senate
for the asking goes almost without
saying. That he will be urged by
political friends to enter the senator
ial contest, regardless of personal
inclinations, is equally probable. That
his nomination would be virtually
equivalent to election is a fair deduc-
ton from the relative position of the
major political parties in New Jersey
today

THE SINKING OF THE DUTCH
SHIPS

Relying upon Berlin promise that
so doing would be relatively safe,
seven Dutch cargo ships sailed from
Falmouth Thursday upon the seas
that Won Tirpitz has barred to COM
merce. Five of them were in the
grain trade, feeding Holland; all
were serving that neutral country.
and no belligerent. This fact may
have saved the lives of their crews; /;
Of the ships three were sunk; four,
badly damaged by torpedoes, were
kept af1oat by Dutch skill and tenac-
ity.
1t may be imagined what a commo-
ton this outrage has caused in the
gallant little nation! But what can
it do? Dutchmen of old dared the
Emperor of half the civilized world;
their descendants are overawed by an
Emperor who aims at wider dominion
whose actual power is far more vast
and terrible. Dutch ships once flaunt-
ed the broom at their mastheads along
England's coast; today they must hug
port, consent to humiliating condi-
tions or risk piracy and murder in
their lawful occasions. Dutch armies
once challenged France; today Prus-
sian forces believed to be irresistible
hover upon the boundary, waiting,
possibly eager, to strike at the heart
of the nation whose wealth, learning,
enterprise, colonies, above all, whose
geographical position, have made it
so tempting a prize.
Not Hollands trade only but our
trade felt this treacherous blow; it
was Kansas wheat that went to feed
the fish while men starve. What Hol-
land may do about it we cannot say
What we shall do about it we must
say. That we shall submit, unless
We intend to bow to all that logically
follows, is inconceivable. Does not
this latest vandal act make it more
than ever apparent that to the arm
ing of our ships so that they may
keep the seas there is 70 alternative
consistent with the pride and the hon
or of the Nation?-New York World.

RAILROAD SAVES NEWSPAPERS

RAlLROAD SAVES NEWSfA1EFO
The Lehigh Valley Railroad is saw
ing old newspapers. The papers left
in the trains by passengers do not
look very valuable or worth saving
to the individual men and women who
drop them. But the efficiency men of
the railroad see in this waste paper
an added source of income.
Seven paper-baling machines have
been purchased and installed at diff
ferent cities at points Of division of
the line. All papers left on trains
anywhere throughout the system will
be saved and baled at these stations.
The value of the paper thus saved is
expected to count up fast and to be
considerable in a years time.
Efficiency is concerned with small
things as we'll as with great. If a
railroad considers waste paper worth
saving, how about the rest of US?
How many little things are we al
lowing to go to waste?
