THE League of Nations ideal is of
tremendous Importance to the future OF
this country and to the independence OF
Ireland" he went on, but the ideal OF
independence and liberty is dea:er 10
our hearts than the mere ideal OF peace.
We Americans are devoted to peace, but
we intend to retain the right to say what
our obligations TO the rest OF the world
shall be in obtaining peace. We must
never entangle ourselves in the broils and
turmoils of Europe and We must never
permit the European system to get a
foothold on this side of the carlton
American soil.
Our proud prestige IL due TO the
fact that we followed Washin IONS ad-
vice, and his policy was adopted under
circumstances and in conditions remark
ably like the preseft, after the Napo-
leonic wars. If We now depart from
that policy we will have bitter reason
to regret It. Mr.. Taft is incorrect when
he states that changes have made IL
unnece ssary to follow Washington's adj
vice. There are some principles SO fun
damenta that they are rot changed by
time. The fathers who framed our
Government announced principles be-
| yond which Statesmen will never go"
Senator Borah quoted jefferson, Mon
roe and Henry Clay as definitely oppos-
| ing participation in European politics
| and as opposing European participation
| in our affairs.
mfr. Taft states" said Senator Borah,
that the Monroe Doctrine will be pre-
served because it will be extended to in
| clude the whole world. But the doctrine
was framed for the express purpose OF
/ separating the political affairs of this
part of the world from the political af-
| fairs OF the other part. The question be-
| fore the American people Is are We
ready to denart from the two great pol
| icies enunciated by the father of his
country and by President Monroe, sup
! ported By jefferson?

Pemberton.

Andrew Rosbach, one of Pember-
tons highly respected citizens, died
at his home in that town on Tuesday,
after being in poor health for long
time Mr.. Rosbach went to Pember-
ton in 1876 and had barber shop on
the main street. His wife, who sur
wives him, is great lover of flowers,
and she began to raise them in win
dow The people of Pemberton soon
began to buy the flowers and the de-
mand for them became so great that
Mr.. Rosbach gave up the barber busi-
ness and started a small greenhouse
on Egbert street Not only did Penn
berton people appreciate his efforts
but he gained reputation all over
the county and he found it necessary
to enlarge his houses and he gave the
name of "Blumenheim" to his place
and the firm was A. & G. Rosbach
the wife becoming as much interested
as the husband was. The demand
for flowers and plants became s,
great that it taxed the strength of tn
partners very much but they kept a
the work although reducing some o
| the branches. Mr.. Rosbach was
| public spirited citizen and goo
| friend. He will be greatly missed b
ia large circle of friends not confne
to Pemberton alone.

Court Proceedings

The October term of court opened on
Tuesday, with Justice Kalisch presid-
ing. He selected Cooper HI. Prickitt,
of Burlington. as foreman. The JUS
tice said he did not know of anything
that needed especial atten ton at pres
ent but there were some matters that
he had under consideration and he
might call the jury back to consider
them.
This statement set all sorts OF rumors
going and it looked as il the county
was to be upset. As matter of fact
the most serious matter was the recent
murder at Camp Dix. This crime was
committed in this county but because
it was on the government property the
camp authorities held that the county
does not haveany Jurisdiction. Justice
Kalisch is said to be looking into the
law on this point and there may be
later developments.
The grand jury was in session two
days and went into court Wednesday
evening with rs bills. Not all OF them
are ready for publication and the jury
will meet again on Thursday when
there are other important matters to
be considered and it is probable that
all of the prisoners will then be brought
to court to answer.
The following indictments were
placed on file with the county clerk:
Harry w. Jackson, Delanco, assault
and battery on James r. Carruthers.
Mrs. Stain Janicki, Bridgeboro,
stealing pears from Evaul Chambers.
John " Rice, Riverside, malicious
mischief at property of Charles Mitsch.
John Ledney, Roebling, assault and
battery on John Borsch, boy.
Frank Mcnamara, Riverside, as
sault and battery and threatening to
kill John Hamilton.
Carl Myers and Robert Wesley, Riv-
erside, malicious mischief at property
OF Hannah T. Muir.
A. Shalter, Edward Shalter, r. Ban
ners, Elizabeth Eble, Howard Rease
and Margaret Dorsey, near Riverside,
stealing blackberries and apples from
farm Of Andrew A. Kensinger.
Judge Wells gave attention to several
cases on Tuesday. Joseph Blackwell,
a Camp Dix employe, was charged
with stealing some underwear. He
said the goods were given to him by a
truck driver. The case was continued.
Another Camp Dix case was that Of
Richard Roberts, charged with steal
ing pair of army shoes. He claimed
they were given him. He had been in
Jail sufficient length of time to pun
ish him il he had been guilty and he
was discharged.
Emidis Romani pleaded guilty to
stealing brass from the Florence iron
works and he was allowed to 20 until
called for sentence. Joseph 6eligman.
who had pleaded guilty to the theft of
a watch from Mrs. William Lutz, was
sent to the state prison for period OF
one tn three veara

BUSINESS BOOSTING LECTURE
WITH MOVING PICTURES.

The three reel feature films, "Trou-
bles of a Merchant, and How to Stop
Them," will be presented for the first
time in Mount Holly on Monday night,
October 27, at o'clock, in High
School Auditorium. In connection
with the film, lecture on retail mer-
chandising will be given. All mer-
chants and salespeople in the city are
invited to attend. No charge will be
made for admission.
The Business Mems Association has
secured the film and merchandising
lecture through the courtesy of the
National Cash Register Company,
Dayton, Ohio. Shorthand Fannon, ex-
pert lecturer of the Dayton Company
will be the speaker. The lecture has
been given before commercial organi-
cations and conventions throughout
the country, and has been highly COM
mended. Causes for losses and fail
ures in detail business are shown, and
their remedy told in the lecture, which
has been prepared from the expert
ence of the National Cash Register
Company in its thirty-four years OF
dealing with merchants in all parts
of the world.
A prominent place in the lecture is
given to the value of newspaper ad-
vertising. By means of stereopticor
slides, Mr.. Shorthand Fannon will tel
how to prepare newspaper copy, how
to secure best results, and why a mer.
chant should advertise continually
Window display, efficiency of clerks
selling methods, credit business, deliv
cry problems, and other topics of in
terest to merchants will also be dis
cussed.
The film tells in vivid manner tn,
story of Mr.. White, a merchant who il
near failure. AS the film progresses
the reasons for his lack of success be
come plain. Poor arrangement o
goods, an unattractive front, lax bust
ness methods, and most of all, out-of
date business methods, all contribute
their quota of loss.
Finally a change comes in the ca
reer of Mr. White He cleans up hi
store, installs a modern system, an
rapidly rises to success. The film
declared to have a business lesson i
every scene.
| Many merchants and salespeople i
this community are expected to we
come the opportunity offered by tn
lecture, and a large attendance
looked for.
Il Another lecture will be given o
Friday evening of this week by NJ
, Fannon, in which he will tell how
! raise flowers and vegetables. L
He will illustrate his remarks wit
stereopticon slides and motion pi
lures. The principles he will outlir
!, are those which have been used Fl
! thirty years by the National Cas-
Register Company, Of Dayton, Obi
This company is known to have IL
5 most beautiful factory surroundings
r the United States. The grounds are
veritable park, covered with tree
shrubs and flower gardens. The pu
lie is urged to atten this lecture. \
Y admission will be charged.

The LIQUOR Question

+ Friday was the date for hotel me
to apply for renewal of their Ii
! censes. Thomas Logan Gaskill ap
peared in behalf of some of the appli
cants and referred to the granting o
licenses in Jersey City by the Commits
sioners of that place. Justice Swayz,
; rendered an opinion in which he helC
that the action of the commissioner:
was illegal as it conficted with the
statutes of the United States which
Iprohibit the sale Of liquor during war
time conditions. The case was carried
to the Court Of Errors and Appeals
and that body ordered stay Of pro-
ceedings until the matter could be
heard on its merits. This caused the
licensee to reopen his hotel and the
other places in Jersey City followed
suit and all are doing business now
pending the consideration of the case
on its merits.
Harry Heher also spoke in behalf of
the liquor men. He held that all ap-
plications for the privilege of selling
liquor are under the inn and tavern
act and must be granted under the
laws of the state, subject, of course,
to any limitations that may be impos-
ed by the federal government. The
laws of New Jersey requires license
to be taken out to sell Intoxicating,
vinous and malt or brewed beverages"
This covers the selling of 2.75 beer,
which, while it may not be intoxicat-
ing, is brewed or malt liquor The
people engaged in the hotel business
had laid in large supply of goods
and the government, in July, had col
lected its annual revenue of $25 from
each dealer. This might seem to be
working an injustice. If the applica-
tions now applied for were refused,
the hotel people would not be able to
dispose of the stock on hand and that
would be a hardship. Mr. Heher ar
gued that there is possibility of the
army being demobilized soon and if
the licenses were not granted now the
hotel keepers would be without the
right to do business. He was inclined
to believe that the nationwide prohi-
bition would fail and that would also
be factor. Looking at the subject
from all sides it appeared as if there
was good reason for granting licenses.
Judge Wells said he felt that the
court did not have the right to grant a
license that would hold after the 18th
of January. There are hotel keepers
who have been granted licenses that
will expire on the 26th of December
and the argument that had been ad-
vanced that all should be put on an
equal footing seemed to be reasona-
BILE. He did not feel like putting any
one in a position to have to defend
himself and if a license was granted
for year that might be the result.
While he had doubts as to his right
to grant license for period less
than one year he would do so and all
applicants would have the privilege
of taking out their licenses until the
18th of December, paying a pro rata
| fee.
Those who had come to court with
the intention of getting licenses were
told they could do as they pleased
about taking them out for the period
named and they availed themselves of
the privilege.

A Pleasant Occasion

Sunday was red letter day in the
Mount Holly Nj. E. church, when the
services were of very interesting ma
ture, large congregation being pres
ent to pay tribute to John H. Dobbins
who for sixty years has been secretary
of the Sunday school The sermon
was preached by Rev. George L. Dob.
bins, brother of the gentleman being
honored.
The Sunday school hour was given
over to programme of celebration.
Words of greeting were spoken by
Samuel A. Atkinson, of the Baptist
church; Robert A. Semple, Jr.. Pres
byterian church; Rev. William B.
Perry, ST. Paul's church.; Howard E.
Alcott, former superintendent of the
NJ. E. Sunday school; and Rev. George
L. Dobbins. An orchestra furnished
the instrumental music and there were
vocal selections by Miss Myra BOUCHER
and Fred Norcross; a chorus by the
junior choir, and a piano solo by Miss
Reta Krupnick. A handsome um-
brella with silver handle suitably en-
graved was presented to Mr.. Dobbins
by Rev. S. Lawrence Bullock, superin-
tendent of the Sunday school, on be-
half of the teachers and scholars.
Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr., read a
poem which he had composed, en-
titled "Retrospections of John H. Dob.
bins on his sixtieth anniversary as
secretary of the NJ. E. Sunday school
of Mount Holly" There were ten
verses in this poem, referring to con-
ditions of sixty years ago and those of
the present day. One of them seemed
to size up the situation very clearly. 1t
was as follows:
''Our methods then were primitive; no
lesson helps had we.
No Leaflets" for the children and
no Journals" did we see;
But we had the dear old Bible, and the
Catechism too,
Well, we may have been old-fashion-
ed, but we thought that they would
do"
In the evening Rev. George l.. Dob
bins preached another interesting and
instructive sermon.

Where Does Jurisdiction Begin

There have been several offences
committed at Camp Dix and those of
an important nature hove been looked
after by the camp authorities who say
our courts do not have any jurisdic-
tion but when man steals a pair of
shoes or a suit of clothing he is sent
to Mount Holly and the court is com
PEELED to go to the expense of trying
him. If the county has jurisdiction in
the small cases why not in those of
more Importance?
Of course the officers in the depart
ment of justice who are under good
salary must make showing and they
bring the minor criminals with a
great parade of doing duty with the
statement that the camp must be pro-
tected but we have never seen any of
these important detectives bringing
down a man who has broken the law
or committed serious crime. In the
murder recently committed the offend
er was not sent to our jail and if re-
ports are true a coroner was never
called to look into the case. If a man
who steals a pair of shoes on the
camp grounds is liable to arrest why
is not a fellow who does worse things
brought in?
There is considerable bluff anc
: buster over some of the arrests that
have been made and the justices Of
the peace have probably not looked
, into the cases as closely as they ought
to. In fact there are lots of case:
sent to the court by justices of the
peace that ought to be settled righ
) in the Office of the justice. In on,
case a man was sent from the caml
for some petty theft. After hearing
the case the justice told the fellow
: that if he would promise not to q
d back to the camp he would be allowed
:, to have his freedom. The justice act
2 ed without any authority and the MAJ
: was told by a higher official that h,
n could go back to camp if he wanted t.
: and if there was any trouble about i
!, to call the official up and he would Sc,
: what could be done. In another cas-,
n / a man was taken before justice ant
: he had check for pay for work h
t had done at the camp. The justic
! told him he would be allowed to de
e part if he would promise not to g
/ back to collect his check. This ma
IS was also informed that if the justic
r could not see any way to hold him
y had a perfect right to go back an
le get his money and if there was an
e trouble about it to call the sheriff
h, office and something would be done.
ID Nobody wants criminals going sec
Is free but if the camp authorities car
50 not see their way clear to let tn
ne county take care of crimes that al
at committed within it they should mt
of saddle us with the expense of 9th,
a cases simply to let the self-importal
ID members of the department of justi'
by police come down frequently and sho
ed THAT they are really of great impor
ance.

Shortage of Paper

For several months agents for news
paper houses have predicted that there
would soon be shortage of paper on
which to print newspapers and advised
laying in good stock. This was not
an idle boast as is shown by the reports
that come from those who are keep
ing in touch with the situation and it
now looks as if some papers may have
to give up issuing their editions unless
some relief, not now in sight, appears.
This is the prediction of 8. s. Carvalho,
generally recognized as one of the
ablest newspaper executives in this
country. The problem is what is to
be done to get relief.
A rise in price is almost inevitable
This paper has experienced that anc
for paper which we could buy thre,
months ago for 81 cents per pound W,
are hardly able to get for 81 cents
Not everybody realizes that the sub
scription price of paper does not pay
for it. The Sunday issue of one New
York paper week or two ago cos
s25, 900 more than was received from
the circulation price, and the daily
issues OF the same paper figured a los
of $12, 900 above the price received from
| the sales.
That it will be necessary for tn
dailies to increase their prices seem
certain but they might be able to ali
in saving paper by cutting down OIL
the space that is given to reading
which might easily be dispensed with
Take any Sunday paper and you vii
find comic supplements, fashion plates
colored editions and many things tina
are very pleasant to have but whicl
would not be greatly missed. In min
out of ten households Sunday pape
is cast aside in about an hour afte
entering the house. The government
could also aid in this matter Ever
mail brings to this Office sheets of ir
formation that 60 to the waste baskt
almost as soon as they get in. Tons
paper are wasted in this way TIL
, NEWS has been compelled to pay higl
| er prices for its paper but up to Il
present it has not advanced its SUI
5 scription, and it will not do SO unit
, forced to it.

way. There are those who will res

DRUNK, BUT COMMITTED FOR
LIFE

LIFE.
An instance of the way in which
justices of the peace conduct their Of
fees was brought to light Thursday
when Sheriff Haines went before
Judge Wells and asked what should be
done with a prisoner in his charge.
The commitment was made out by a
man who signed the name of Thomas
A. Gorton. 1t was a fine specimen of
what may occur in small court. 1t
set forth that "Peter Gilbet, of the
Bouargh of Wrightstown, in the coun-
ty aforesaid, is now brought before
me, one of the magistrates of the
peace of said county, charged on oatf
by Howard Johnson, of the Bouragl
of Wrigttown, that Peter Gilber
was drunk and lorenting on streets o.
said burrough," and then the commit
ment ordered the Sheriff to "take sail
Peter Gilber into Jail until delivered.
This remarkable document was date,
the 18th day of October, nineteen hun
dred and -. On the back of it wa
worded: Estate VS.. Peter Gilbert
Thomas Gordon, magistrat. Howar
Johnson, constable"
Sheriff Haines did not know Thoma
Gordon or Howard Johnson. Neithe
of these men are registered in tn
clerks office as the law requires, henc
it is not known by what authorit
they are acting. The commitment di
not set out any term for the man t
serve so he virtually sentenced fo
life. The extra penalty was probabl
on account of the "Lorenting," whic
is evidently an offence known only t
the officials of the "Burrough G
Wrighttown" Judge Wells ordere
the Sheriff to let Peter go.
