APPEALS TO SUPREME COURT
FOR NAME ON BALLOT

milford T. Rose, who was defeated
in the primaries for the nomination
for Sheriff on the republican ticket by
the late Smith E. Johnson, has filed
with County Clerk Parker a petition
requesting that his name be placed
upon the ballots for the general cleo
ton as a candidate for Sheriff. The
County Clerk refuses to place his name
upon the ballots upon the advice of
counsel, based upon Section 369 of the
election laws, which reads: "Any per-
son whose name was printed upon the
official ballot of any party at the pre-
ceding primary who failed of nomina-
ton shall not be eligible to have his
name printed on the official ballot for
said general election by petition" Mr..
Rose has employed Judge Shinn and
former Judge Cole as counsel and they
have appealed to the Supreme Court
for an order to compel the County
lots. The arguments will be heard at
Jersey City on October 18th.
Winfield F. Cozart, colored politi-
clan of Atlantic City, has also filed a
petition with the County Clerk for the
office of Surrogate. AS he was a de-
feated candidate in the primaries, be-
ing a candidate for County Executive
Committeeman, it is likely that the
same course will be pursued in this
case. 1t is believed that this is a
scheme to help the present democratic
surrogate, who holds the office by ap-
pointment from former Governor Fiel-
der.

not forgotten these manly boys who
enlisted in the early part of this hor-

reside here. Perhaps they will send
some of their soldier boys letters also
for publication.

ION WITH THE DANCE"
AT APOLLO NEXT WEEK..

One of the most interesting plays
that has come from the Office of A. H.
Woods in many seasons is promised in
Michael Morton's new four-act drama
"On With the Dance, which A. H.
Woods will present at the Apollo The
atre, on Thursday, October Is, for an
engagement of three days.
Mr.. Morton will be wildly recalled
as the author of "The Yellow Ticket"
the great Woods success of several
seasons ago. In ION With the Dance
he has written in his characteristic
vigorous way, a drama that deals with
a problem vital to the vast majority of
American homes. Its central charac-
ter is a young woman who is obsessed
with the dance craze. Her husband is
brought to the verge of ruin and he is
led to suspect that his financial diff
culties have openeu the way for an in
timacy between his wife and a promi-
nent financier. When his home is
threatened he precipitates an eXtraor-
binary tragedy, the shock of which
brings his wife to her senses. A. H.
Woods has gathered an exceptional
company to interpret the piece includ-
ing John Mason, Eileen Huban, Will
lam Morris, Julia Dean, Edward Abeles
and others.

Sewerage Will Benefit.

Editors Pleasantville Press
Sewerage will benefit any town or
city. 1t will increase the values of all
properties, induce newcomers to in
vest their money. vacant properties
will sell and be improved, sickness
and epidemics are a thing of the past
where a sewerage system is installed.
Look at the great cities of New Or
leans. La, Havana, Cuba, Jacksonville,
or other Florida cities. No epidemic
since sewerage has been in operation.
And with our new sewerage system in
operation, Pleasantville can boast of
not only being the best town on the
map, but the healthiest city in the
United States. All citizens, property
owners, and all who have the interest
Of ~Pleasantville at heart, should do
everything possible and within their
power to help this great sanitary,
h%ealthful, civic improvement, that will
bring prosperity to our hustling and
progressive City Of P~leasantville.

THERE WILL BE NO PEACE

THERE WILL BE NO PEACE
IN THE WORLD
Editors Pleasantville Press
A very remarkable idea obtains in
the minds of many, and that is that
the war in Europe is the last great
war, and that it is a war for peace.
All that is now necessary is to
break Prussian militarism, and then
the millennium is assured" many say.
So while the war is raging, men are
proclaiming for the future, peace and
safety"
How few know that the prophetic
Word is being fulfilled in this awful
conflict Our great boosted civiliza.
ton has broken down; for while mar
has undoubtedly been refined and edu.
Gated and cultured" it is scarcely
more than veneer, for in battle he
oftentimes seems as barbarous as in
the days of Attila or Alaric.
In a cartoon that appeared in one
of the late magazines, the savage's
view of this war was well and truly
presented. In his native wild sits the
savage, reading a war special" under
a tree, against which leans his great
spear. And as he reads the terrible
records of destruction and barbarity,
he eXclaims in disgust: "Ochi The
heatheni"
1t is undoubtedly true that this wal
between so-called Christian nations
must strike the non-Christian onlook.
er very strangely. l am reminded OF
an experience which an American mis-.
Sinn nrU in tho Eiif Tc1ondc haI rfar{1,
after the war broke out between Great
Britain and the Beers. He was edit.
ing a little paper at the time, in the
Fijian language, and some articles con.
corning that war were presented to
u Fijian readers.
One day a Fijian Christian sought
and obtained an interview. He was
exercised owe the war. His statement
of the case from a native standpoint
was pointed and convincing. 1t was as
follows: "The English and the Beers
are both Christian people. They both
employ chaplains to accompany and
encourage their soldiers. These chap.
lains on both sides pray to the same
God for the success of their respective
armies. How can God answer both!
When the English missionaries taught
the. Fijians the message of peace we
listened to it. Would it not be good
for some Fijian missionaries to go to
England and preach a similar mes
sage?"
What could be said in answer tC
such a searching argument? How
could the missionary explain that
there is a good reason for war? What
a severe structure on our advanced
civilization and reputed Christian
teaching!
The nations are not Christian. Many
individuals in all of them are; but the
narrow way to life is not, and can new
err be, broad. The Bible teaches us
that in the last days men will prepare
for war and not for peace. They are
doing what God said we might expect
See Joel 1912.
There may come a lull in the storm
but peace can not be assured. There
