Random Remarks

From present indications it will soon
become necessary for the board of edu
cation to revise it's rules governing the
use of the high school auditorium.
Under the method followed since the
high school was built, the auditorium
has been used by the societies connect
ed with the school, and for what are
termed educational purposes, with
out any charge being made. Charita-
BILE organizations and institutions have
frequently been given the use of the
room for entertainments to which adj
mission fees have been charged; but
rent has been asked when the room was
used for purposes which were neither
charitable nor educational. 1t is a
question whether the privileges of the
auditorium are not being abused at the
present time. A request was recently
made of the board, which, if granted,
would have practically turned the au-
ditorium over to local organization,
as it's presiding officer asked authority
to order the school ianitor to open and
light the building whenever it was
wanted, without obtaining further per-
mission from the board. This SEEM
ed to be a little too much. There is
great deal to be said on DO tn sides.
Some citizens claim that as the build
ing is public property it should be
opened to public use every night in
the week, if wanted by the citizens fol
any purpose, without any charge o.
restriction. This is the radical view
Others think it should not be USED
except for educational purposes, for
getting that educational is subjec
to many interpretations. There arr
still others, among whom are said t.
be several members of the board O
Education, who favor charging a small
sum, sufficient to cover the cost of tn
lighting and janitor service, every tim
the room is used for purposes that ar
mot connected with the schools. TIL
expense of lighting the auditorium ha
been very heavy during the last fe,
months, and there would SEEM to b
some reason for the claim that thi
cost should be borne by the person
, who benefit directly by it, even if thei
purpose is charitable. 1t would not

, ito publish an itemized statement {

Red Cross Work.

Mount Holly has not been idle dur
ing the last week which was designated
as ''Red Cross Week" when there was
a movement throughout the entire
country to raise large fund for the
use of the association which is working
so earnestly for the people of this and
other countries. Solicitors went through
every street and met with good success.
One of the noticeable features was the
fact that in the small side streets, in
habited by people of limited means,
the response was quite generous.
On Tuesday evening there was a
meeting Of the Red Cross Association
in the high school auditorium at which
reports from the various chairmen were
read, showing the work that had al
ready been done in the short time the
association has been in existence here.
Captain William A. Slaughter made a
stirring address in which he showed
conclusiveIy that it was the duty of
every citizen to do whatever was in his
power to do, even though it might
seem small.
William ID. Marren, chairman Of the
Mount Holly general district commit
tee, also spoke earnestly and enthusiast
tically on the subject and his remarks
were received by the audience in way
that showed he had touched the mark
he desired to.
On Saturday evening there was a
mass meeting at the fountain. This
had not been advertised or there might
have been more general response.
Rev. Henry T. Cooke delivered short
address in his usual vigorous and eff
fective manner and the Mount Holly
Glee Club sang two selections. Mem
bers of the local Red Cross Association,
in their uniforms, went among those
who we're present, soliciting contribu-
tons and secured neat sum.
The returns made to the treasurer
last evening showed that $4,000 had
been collected, with probably $500 more
to come in. 1t may be well to say
that it is not too late to makecontribu-
tions to this fund. Several places were
not visited and those who were over
looked must not feel they were pur-
posely neglected as the committees
were taxed for time. Subscriptions
NAV be sent to William d. Marren.

The Wrightstown Camp

The contractors who are to do thu
construction work at the Wrightstown
cantonment have begun operations
! with quite a number of mechanics and
laborers. The work now being done is
preliminary to the big operations to be
started in short time. Dining build
ings of considerable size are BEING
erected for the use of the thousands
of workmen who will be EMPLOYED in
preparing the camp for occupancy by
the soldiers. Many carloads of me-
chanics arrived at the camp yesterday.
and this will be daily occurrence for
some time.
Major Harry G. Williams, of the
regular army, will be in charge of the
construction work at the camp. He
has been at WrighLstown for several
weeks and has established an Office
there with a number Of assistants.
The plan for each of the military
environments is to construct twenty
separate groups of buildings, or one
group to each regiment of officers and
men. There will be 46 buildings for
regiment, the dimensions of each
house to be 43x120 feet.
During the past week two companies
of the national guard were sent from
Trenton to Wrightstown, and are now
in camp there. These men were given
a taste of real war duty by being
marched, in full equipment, from
Trenton to the camp.
1t was reported last week that Secre-
tary of War Baker had stated that the
government had decided to close all
liquor bars within two miles of the
camps after occupancy by the
This order would close the
bars of the hotels at Wrightstown,

tice of such action. nor by inquiry

Court Affairs.

On Thursday Thomas Murphy was
taken before Judge Lippincott for SEN
tence on the charge of assaulting an
officer at Riverside. Thomas is 70
years of age, but he has a bad temper.
He is the same fellow who attempted
to show the jail attendants how they
should conduct the dining room and,
as result, was put in solitary confine-
ment for time. On Thursday Judge
Lippincott decided that if Murphy
would keep out of the county and not
give any more trouble he would be re-
leased on probation. The prisoner
readily agreed to this and was allowed
to go.
Alexander Hulmlund was up on the
charge Of stealing chickens from his
wife. This was out of the ordinary
kind Of cases that icome under Judge
Lippincott's care, and he said he was
not able to handle this situation. The
prisoner asked if the court could not
do something that would prevent his
wife quarreling with him, but close
questioning showed that all the trouble
in the family is caused by the husband
getting drunk. He was advised to let
liquor alone and to behave himself so
that he will not again come before the
court on serious charge.
John A. Brinkley, a colored man
sent down from Florence for indecent
assault, pleaded non vult. He hailed
from North Carolina and had gone to
Florence to work. In the south he was
not able to get any liquor, and when
he got north he found the restrictions
not quite so severe and he let whiskey
get the better of him. After patiently
listening to the evidence in this case
Judge Lippincott decided that the best
thing for Brinkley to do was to &c
back to North Carolina where he could
not get rum, and as the prisoner wal
perfectly willing to get away he prom
ised to do as the Judge desired.
Charles Vernon is in the Jail on thu
charge of disorderly conduct. HI
came from Burlington. With othe
prisoners he was put to work on th,
roads and the charge that brought hin
into court on Thursday was that he e'
capped from the gang and ran away Il
| evade work. Vernon denied the run
ming. He said he walked away in full
sight of the guard, who did not maxi
any attempt to capture him. A plei
of not guilty was entered and the maj
! will be tried on Thursday.

| The friends OF Granville w. Leeds
were greatly shocked, Friday, to hear
of his death, which occurred suddenly
at Easton, Pa, that day. Mr.. Leeds
was one of the best known and most
respected citizensof Burlington county.
His farm near Rancocas was a model
of neatness, and gave evidence, not
only in its appearance, but in its re.
suits, of the careful attention given by
its owner. The constant personal care
that Mr.. Leeds gave to the place posi-
bly, caused him to break sdown, as kid
ney complaints attacked him and hs
was forced to relinquish business anC
go to Easton, where it was hoped th,
change might work for his improve
ment and recovery. But the diseas,
had become too deeply imbedded anC
a nervous breakdown was the result
causing the sudden death that was en-
ltirely unexpected.

teaching the foreign born citizens OF
Iowa what the ideals Of this govern
ment Is.
Some illuminating figures on the
foreign born population of Iowa are
1910. Iowa's population is shown to be
S3o,901. Of which 52,201 was foreign
born. This means that SO $40 per cent
of the total population in Iowa In 1910
was foreign born, or over one-half OF
the adult residents. Males voting age
totaled 1O7,145, of which 27,401 were
foreign born whites. Only 1913,
little more than fifty per cent, of the
foreign born have been naturalized,
demonstrating the need for greater
activity in the work of making tne
aliens more familiar with the provis-
ions of the American government. In
the matter OF illiteracy. 1892 persons
over ten years of age among tho
foreign born white were listed, which
Is percentage of 6 2-10 per %cent IL
literate. Illiteracy among the native
born whites is only 6-l0 per cent.
Last year the public school author
tiles, working in cooperation with the
bureau Of naturalization, maintained
night classes for alien instruction in
100 cities in every state Of the union.
1t is the confident belief Of the bureau
that alien instruction will gradually
transform the vast army Of foreigners
into an army of Americans with COM
mon ideals, common hopes. common
sentiments and unadulterated loyalty.
"No one should be permitted to re-
main in ignorance of his duty and
responsibility as a resident Of the
United States the bureau authorities
assert, land this applies particularly
to the foreign born. It is certain that
had alien instruction been more uni
versally extended in the past, the
question of divided allegiance would
not have assumed such unpleasant
prominence after the war was declar-
