The Deadlock Continues

The New Jersey Legislature met
for the second time in the State House
in Trenton last Monday evening. The
Senate was in session less than an
hour. President Runyan was not
present because of the death of his
child.
A large number of bills were intro
duced, but no action taken.
Senator C. B. Allen, of Salem, was
changed to be chairman of the Fish
and Game Committee.
In the distribution of patronage,
Salem County gets assistant bill clerk,
a committee clerk and a door keeper.
The Assembly took six Intellectual
ballots for speakership. Arthur N.
Pierson, Republican, and James ).
McAteer, Democrat, each received 81
votes.
A resolution was presented h a the
Republicans be given the speaker and
the Democrats the clerk but it was not
accepted by either side. In 1877
when the Democrats had the Governor
and Senate and there was a tie in the
Assembly, the Democrats were given
the SpedheTSIlp anu tlle ANCpuoiASoho
the clerk.
Governor Edge sent to the Senate
the appointment of Jesse S. Salmon,
of Essex, to be Clerk in Chancery, to
succeed Frederick T. Adams, resigned,
Worrel 7. Mountain, of Orange, to
succeed Frederick 7. Adams, resigned,
as a Judge of the Circuit Court. Sal
mon has been one of the Edge leaders
of Essex Republicans and his appoint
ment is expected to count in the cam
paign for the nomination of Comp
troller Bugbee for Governor.
The Governor also sent to the Leg
islature a suggestion for a solution of
the serious milk situation in North
Jersey. He urged an immediate in
vestigation into the differences exist
ing between milk producers and dis
tributers. In accord with the sugges-
ton, Senator Allen, of Salem County,
offered a resolution providing for the
appointment by the Governor of such
a commission, pending the organiza-
ton of the House, and it vas adopted.
The Legislators adjourned for an
other week.

price which Germany and her part
ners in crime must pay, but also adopt
the international policy which is to
safeguard the peace of the world
henceforth. Any clamor at home thai

abroad at this time should ease. Let
US have the same unity of national

to consider the Presidents snubbing
of Congress and his seeming forget

which was so widely heralded when
he first entered the White House. For
the present it is wise to remember
that he is the chief spokesman for the
American people in the most moment

Thankful For Information

Our articles on the President and
Pope aroused more curiosity and COM
ments. than anything ever published
in the Penns Grove Record. When a
secular local paper gives news TO
many readers that is worthy of no
tice and comment from .pufpits, both
Catholic and Protestant, surely it con-
tains food for thought on both sides
of the religious question.
When a person gets a mental jar
it some times makes them think n a
there is a vast world OF facts and IN
formation to learn that they never
knew before. One old subscriber said
one issue was worth 81 to him. Others
said they read the articles three times
and put them away for historic ref
erenceS .
The books, magazines and pam
phlets from which quotations were
taken cost several dollars and many
hours of reading and have been kept
on file many years.
We have received several letters on
both sides of the religious question.

President Teach the Pope" We wish
to thank the writer's for their amateur
efforts and hope they will continue to
read and think for themselves and be

Douay Version.
AS Rev. L. j. Travers does not wish
to avail himself of the free space and
golden opportunity offered, we will be
pleased to receive a communication
from a bishop, cardinal or the pope.
Whatever cost of u Indulgence we
would be pleased to learn the price of

WANT
BUILDING
Suggested Memorial To Late Senator
Gaunt

Gaunt
The farmers of New Jersey, thru
their representatives at the Annual
State Agricultural Convention at the
State Capitol at Trenton last Friday,
requested the Legislature to provide
an appropriation for a Horticultural
Building at the State College of Agri-
culture at New Brunswick. A resolu-
ton was also adopted that the pro-
posed building should be named
"Gaunt Hail." in memory of the late
Senator G.. w. F. Gaunt, of Mullica
Hill, for many years Master of the
New Jersey State Grange. This
would be an appropriate recognition
of his great service to the agriculture
of the State.
Special groups of agriculturists,
meeting at Trenton last week, also
asked for the Horticultural Building.
The State Horticultural Society, the
State N~urserymen's Association and
the State Poultry Association adopted
resolutions requesting that the appro-
priation be made.

have developed rapidly in recent
years, and his growth has been
greatly promoted by the work of the
institution. The working out of mean

the Station and College have assisted

new building, which the Legislature
will provide if made fully acquainted
with the need, the Horticultural De-
partment will be in a position to rem
der a much greater service to the agri-
culture of the State.

The Public Utility Commission last
Monday ordered suspended the in
creased rates for telephone toll service
which was scheduled to go into effect
last Tuesday on order of Postmaster
General Burleson. The suspension is
made on authority of the New Jersey
State statutes which provide that the
reasonableness of the increase shall
be shown. This statute, according to
the statement of the board, is not null
lifted by the proclamation by which
the President assumed control of the
telephone lines, as the proclamation

What to do with the ex-Kaiser
William II, of Germany, now in Hol-
land, will be settled by the Peace
Council in Versailles. Because of the
fact that he had the autocratic power
to make war, and as it was by his i'm
perial power to prepare for war, he is
most responsible for the war and
should suffer the fates he brought on
millions and be killed. The biggest
criminal in all the world is already
found guilty in the high court of

FARM TOUR DECIDED SUCCESS.
The Farm Tour Which Was Staged
by The Farm Bureau on Mon
day, July 9TH, Very
Successful

! Three specialists were present
from the state department to discuss
with US work in their respective de-
partments: Mr.. QUITE represented
Animal Husbandry; Mr.. Nichols
Horticulture; Mr.. Hauser, Farm
Crops and Soils.
The farm of E. L. Beard & Son
was the first stop. His fine display
+ OF registered Belgian stations,
mares and colts was an object les
son to all. The air pressure water
system and several other points of
interest were also noted and dis
cussed. The delegation at this time
consisted of nine autos and about
fifty people. Most of the delegation
stayed with the party during the
entire tour. A very few left before
the completion of the tour and
others joined in at different places
so that in all the entire party re-
presented more than sixty people.
The visit to the Old Peoples
Home presented much interest in
modern dairy equipment and dairy
herds and successful sheep and hog
protection.
Some splendid individuals were
judged in the herd of registered
cattle on the farm of ]. e. Dyrland.
Mr.. A. A Olson near Conover, has
practiced a definite crop rotation
both in the regular field system and
in the hog lot, for at least twenty
five years. The outstanding results
from this highly recommended
practice were greatly in evidence to
the observers. A more general
adoption of his system of farming is
highly recommended.
Doubtless, the most successful
stand Of alfalfa was seen on the
farm of A. w. Shindelar near CAL
mar. 1t was the wish of all present
that they might have a similar stand
of alfalfa on their. own farms. j A
visit to his dairy herd and dairy
equipment and theI demonstration
in the orchard were likewise of
special value.
The farm electric power plant nd
good Poland Chinas and Shorthorn
cattle on the farm of Phi. Barthelme
G Son formed the basis OF our study
and observations in the last stop.
All returned to their respective
homes greatly satisfied over a day
we'll spent. While the dsy selected
might seem to some to be I'M
fortunate on account OF the busy
time of the season, we simply have
to say that the day was chosen for
US and the specialists had to be
taken when they were available. On
the other hand, it would have been
difficult to choose more opportune
time because of the special features
afforded us through farm crops at
this time. 1t is likewise true that
farmers have been exceedingly busy
during the past weeks and will con-
tinue to be so until after the crops
have all been taken care OF, so a
farm tour of this, character must be
selected at a time when farmers are
busy. ,s,,.. Al IL g..
A good delegation, was out and
they were all we'll pleased with. the
day we'll spent. The discussions made
at the various places by the state
specialists on their subjects were
extremely interesting and instructive.
1t is hoped that the Farm Tour may
be made an annual event so that
people may more generally avail
themselves of the opportunity af-
forded by such farm tours.
