Rutgers State University

Clifford M. Baker, a Salem student
at Rutgers College and also of foot
ball fame, gave a short talk in behalf
of the College to the High School
pupils Tuesday morning. He spoke of
the need of going to college as it
broadens ones vision and gives a diff
ferent view of life. 1t is education
that makes people fit and well versed
on current topics and permits a ready
discussion of them.
In choosing a college he also made
it plain why that college should be
Rutgers. Rutgers is the State Uni
versity of New Jersey and is located
at New Brunswick on the direct line
between Philadelphia and New York.
The college is the sixth oldest in the
United States and has not only a high
scholastic standard but is also one of
the foremost in athletics. He, how
ever, made it plain that the college
was not run for its athletics as the
professors do not hesitate in "stick-
ing" athletes any more than non
athletes.
A Woman's College is now affili-
ated with Rutgers which gives the
Young women the same advantage as

Salem County Suffrage Drive

A very successful suffrage drive is
o in progress turnout u county
under the leadership of Mrs. Aldona
Dickson, of Woodstown, who has been
County Chairman since 1915.
The loyal ~suffragists of Woodstown
are enthusiastically helping in the en-
rolling of the women in the different
towns of the County.
Miss Julia Wernig, the State organ
izer of the n. ]. Women State Suffrage
Association is in the County helping
the women with the drive.
Woodstown has always led the
County in suffrage work, The Woods
town Equal Suffrage League, one of
the oldest in the State, being organ
lied in 1904. Mrs. Joel Borton has
been the president of this organiza-
ton for fifteen years.
The purpose of the drive is to en-
roll at least $500 women in Salem
County who desire the enfranchise-
ment of women Women are keenly
alive to the fact that they have 10y
ally supported their country in the
great war which was fought for DEM
ocracy, and are still denied citizenship
for themselves, while the women in
Germany are voting.
The women in all English speaking
countries in the whole world have the
vote except a few of the eastern and
southern states in u country.
The Revolutionary War resulted in,
the enfranchisement of the white man.
The Civil War in enfranchising the
colored man and at the end of the
great war the women hour has now
come.
The quota of names for Salem
City is 900 anne and in less than
three days it went over the top. The
Salem W. c. I. Z. secured 1876 names
for this week. Woodstown's quota of
$50 names was secured last year.
Pedricktown's quota of 100 names was
secured in m day, and some of the
women from there are going to help
with the work in other towns where
the work is not yet finished. Over 80
per cent. of the women seem to enroll.
Some of the purposes for which this
drive is made are to help in the rati-
fication campaign which will follow
the passage of the Suffrage Amend
ment by the next Congress, to get
planks in the platform of all political
parties to educate the women and pre-
pare them for citizenship.
What is thought to be the last con-
vention of the N. ]. Women Suffrage
Association will be held in Atlantic
City, at the Marlborough lenheim, on
May 16 and II. Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, the national president, will ad.
dress the convention. The State din
ner will be on Friday evening, May 16
Many prominent speakers will be
heard at this dinner. A large Salem
County delegation will attend.

CAPT. Thos. Steward Hewitt, form
,erly of Penns Grove, who has been a
master pilot on the Atlantic coast for
years and was drafted for overseas
service, is again on coastal run. His
home is in Philadelphia.
In sending payment for the Penns
Grove Record from Norfolk, Va, he
states that like old Burg Penns Grove,
Norfolk has had a wonderful growth
since the World War began. Where
was formerly a population of $4,000
there is a floating population of $780,
900 since a great naval base was es-
tablished there. Port facilities have
been increased for the great naval
feet which lay in Hampton Rhoads,
rear. The stores, shops and crowded
streets remind one of New York and
Philadelphia more than of Norfolk
of a few years ago. He was bound
north with a tow.

Fire BrandpFroti Heaven

Jesus said: "Know the truth and
the Truth shall set you free" 'onn
1892.
Many hear and read about the y
and inner workings Of the no
man Catholic monasteries, converts
and nunneries, where denominations
exist If humiliation and modification
of the body with their methods Oh
worship after the manner OF pagan
superstition, ignorance and mental re-
strictions, yet when living witnesses
come and tell the people of their own
experience like the former Monk Ell
Erikson is doing one cannot help to
believe there is something wrong with
the papal system.
We read in histories that it was the
revolt against these tyrarnles over
the bodies and minds of men that our
Puritan forefathers gained the liber-
ties which Americans enjoy. We
would remind all and, especially our
Catholic readers and friends that the
liberties they enjoy here in America,
were won by Puritan blood from the
clericals. In giving publicity to the
facts no personal offense is intended.
All that is asked is for them to ex-
anime the fundamentals and inner
workings of their religious system and
learn for themselves the motives,
methods, purposes and results of
their leaders. You should feel that
you are entitled to know what you pay
for and why.
Americanism NEAR not only civil
freedom to read, think and act in gov
eminent affairs, but be free. from all
religious tyranny over the minds of
men and subject only to moral laws
as you are to civil laws. Read your
own Bible as you do the platforms of
the political parties. Be a free mind
ed American, paying tribute to no
foreign potentate. .
Go hear Eli Eriksen, the escaped
slave. Jew and gentle, Catholic and
Protestant should hear him every
evening in the Tabernacle, the big
Peoples Church, where there is no
creed.
There are freemen whom the truth
makes free. Only those who know
it and are willing to defend it are
worthy it.
Be worthy of being called full
blooded Americans by having an open
mind.

Probable Murder Case

Another mysterious shooting affair
occurred in Penns Grove last night.
About $50 o'clock a man was found
in a pool of blood on the porch of a
house at Willis Street and Cumber-
land Avenue, with four bullet wounds
in his body.
The police were notified and DR..
Baxter was summoned. He found
upon a superficial examination that
four bullets had entered the body, one
in the stomach at the right side which
taking an upward course had pene-
trated the left lung and passed out
at the back.
A conveyance was hastily summon
ed and the man was hurried to Sthe
Delaware Hospital, Wilmington, the
9 o'clock boat being held for that pur-
pose. He was apparently in a dying
condition. Officer Bray accompanied
him across the river. ri
No clue whatever has yet been OBJ
tanned as to who did the shooting OF
the motive of the assassin. As the
man was in an unconscious condition
when found, his name could not be
learned and no one in the neighbor-
hood appeared to know his name.
This morning it was learned that
the mans name was Tony Augole.
Information came from the Della
Hospital this morning that the
man is in a precarious condition.
The police later rounded up eight
men and two girls who are held as
witnesses, two of them being sent tc
Salem. as SuSDectS.

thought they knew that Germany
would stand out for many months.
Now then, to suppose a case. If
some n had come to- you on October
l with a proposition to end the war
within six weeks by a complete and
overwhelming victory on condition. that
you would subscribe literally for Vic
tory bonds in the spring of 1919, you
would have replied as follows:
"Say, end the war this fall and stop
the killing and manning of our boys,
and put the kaiser out Of business and
compel Germany to accept u terms
and let the American soldiers begin to
head for home, and III pledge by last
dollar for the loan that Is needed to
clean up the expenses"
That's how you felt OF October I,
1918, and now that all the miracles
have come to pass, are you going to
be grateful or forgetfui?
You are now asked to help finance
(by merely lending on favorable terms
and not giving the final and gigantic
expenditures which brought victory
months ahead Of the schedule.
If we had lost the war; what would
you be paying this spring and to
whom? How's your memory? Did
you feel certain, just a year ago today,
that Germany could be prevented from
debating terms to the. whole world?
How about a loyal parent who re-
fuses to pay a doctor bill because the
child gets well instead Of dying?
When you tackle a big job do you
stick to the finish, or do you go fish
ing and permit some more dependable
man to come in and put on the roof
and chimney?
Do you experience symptoms OF
morality only when the doctor is seat
ed at the bedsidea
When you start to go somewhere,
do you travel four-fifths of the way
and then flop by the waysidef
Can you be patriotic when the band
is not playing?
We are setting up a big job, so
don't queer your war record at the
eleventh. hour by being a gutter.

The catch of shad continues to be
few, altho higher catches We're made
last Monday. Ben Raine and brother
Walter made an exceptional catch of
118, for which they received 1882.
Harry Rhoads caught 80. Others
caught between 40 and so. The catch
was from 10 to 20 on other days this
week. About a dozen nets are fished
from Penns Grove.
The wholesale price was % cents
a pound for roe and "a for bucks on
Monday. The rest of the week the
price was 26 and %. All the shad
which goes from Pennsville and Penns
Grove to Philadelphia is hauled in mo-
tor trucks. There is no boat run for
the first time in the memory of our
Oldest citizens.
Wilbert and Cooper Sparks, also
Joseph Norton, Penns Grove men at
Bayside, made the biggest catches
last week. About thirty nets are
there and most have not done much.
The biggest catch in several years
was made at Delaware City Monday
morning when over 5000 herring were
landed in a haul at the locks.
ms eaten is unusual, fOf the pig
gest catch this season had been not
over 500 herring. The break in the
river bank above Port Penn is being
repaired and it is believed this may be
the reason for the large catch, as the
herring are not able to get up OF the
marsh now as they had previously.
Shad fishermen made very good
catches Monday, high boat being "a
