Candy Replacing Liquor

New York business men are prepar-
ing to keep abreast of the times when
the country goes dry. Many who
formerly enjoyed whiskey and soda
after the days work or their dry
martini before dinner already have
sworn off" to try to get used to it
before July /. And it is well known
that a man begins to crave for more
sugar than his diet customarily in
cludes when he "swears off"
Realizing these things, at least one
business man in the Wall Street dis
trlct introduced a new form of "treat-
ing" friends or other business men
who visit his office. The time-honor-
ed box of cigars is still at their dis
posal, but there is an addition to the
office equipment in the form of a
large box of bonbons.

Methodists Turn To Great Religious
Pageant

Columbus O., May $50 shape the
mental and moral attitude of the
church membership itself and of the
outside world as well, the Methodist
Centenary celebration has taken an
immense stride forward in determin-
ing to use the theatre as one of the
potent instruments of its big educa-
tional programs. This is voiced in
the expression on "Methodist Centen-
ary Drama for Christ and for DEM
ocracy,' which is to be the keynote of
the most %stupendous scheme of religi-
Gus %pageantry e staged in America.
On the exposition grounds at Column
bus, O., daily, between June 20 and
July 13 there will be produced, on a
scale without precedent in this country
a program of pageantry which will re-
quire for its housing the entire COLI
scum seating 5000 people, a specially
constructed mission play house, half a
score of exhibit buildings, a great oval
in front of an amphi-theatre designed
to seat $4,000 people and calling for
the services of 10000 trained partici-
pants already being drilled by hum
dreds of skilled instructors under the
supervision of recognized authorities
in missionary, dramatic and musical
fields.
The settings, which will fill several
train loads, together with the neces-
sary stage properties and costumes
are being designed by Livingston
Plat, one of the country's foremost
scenic artists and costumers, and are
being prepared by Mr.. Platt's staff in
conjunction with Gates and Morange,
New York scenic specialists. Seventy
thousand yards of fabric are being
fashioned into all manner of garments
by Madame Lulu Froelick and a corps
of threescore trained wardrobe work

MORE TAX ON RAILROADS
To Be Spent Like Confetti

The State Board of Taxes and As
sessments has filed with the Comp
troller its assessments against the
railroads and canal property in New
Jersey for the year 1919, which shows
a total tax of S1O,54 5,625.59, an in
crease of $2,241, 287.20 over 1918. This
tax is levied on a total valuation of
1864 ,531 ,941, the same as used by the
Board last year.
The increase results from the in
crease in the average tax rate" of
the State, which for the current year is
$2.853, while for 1918 it was S2.377,
and the increases in local tax rates.
The average tax rate" is used against
what is known as FIRST class" railroad
property, while the local rates are
used against Second class property.
Of the total tax, $7,036,107.98 goes for
State uses, while $1,000, 517.62 will go
for local uses.
The largest assessment is against
the Pennsylvania Railroad system,
which will have to pay $3,255, 959.20
on an aggregate valuation of $112,-
746,302. The next largest is that of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
which will pay $2,125,518.69 on an
average valuation of $2,125, 51S.69. The
tax and valuation of other roads are:
Name Valuation Tax

Lehigh Valley, 35.017,4S2 239. 947.97
Rails not classified, Is, 402, 509 S6,S51.67
Many will rejoice over making the
corporations pay more taxes then
kick when they are informed that the
railroad companies must collect the
moneys in higher fares and freight.
The State authorities advocate
higher local tax rates a S the average
all over the State is what the railroad
companies are charged on their per-
sonaL property.
Having so many millions in the
State treasury sets the Legislature
and party officials in power wild.
Only $500, 900 We're appropriated by
the last Legislature for a contingent
fund for three men to spend as they
saw fit.
Edward l. Edwards, a member of
the Senate and a candidate for Cover
nor, said the last Legislature spent
money like confetti.
Remember when you pay higher
fares and freight you furnish the con
fetti.
The Legislature should use this
higher State tax to relieve the local
and State tax for schools to pay
teachers.

Offering the Editor Mon
ey to Keep it Out Of
the Paper

There are few men in the newspa
per business-at least, in the editori
al end-who leave vast fortunes wher
they die. There are two reasons
they have more sense than to pile uI
riches for posterity and the other
reason is that they don't get hold Of
the kale to pile it up.
But they could do great deal bet
ter if they did their work as unscrup-
ulously as some men in some other
professions. are in the habit of doing
In other words, if the mazuma were
the only thing in view, land office
business could be done with folks
who want to keep things out of the
paper.
Editors are continually confront
ed with persons visiting the sane
tum who make requests to have this

Some of the requests-indeed. large
proportion of them are unreasonable
but in many cases offers for real hard
cash are made to keep it out"
Thse are, of course, never accept

newspaper ethics to accept pay OF
this nature. But great many peo-
pie don't know it and insist on irri-
tating the editor by telling him they
are willing to pay handsomely to
have their request carried out.
Some people labor under the con-
vietion that it is easy to keep a news

handing the editor a five or ten

Giving Things Away

Some have criticized the Y. NJ. c.
A. for not giving away more arti-
cles, such as cigarettes, chocolate,
etc Its policy has been not to give
away generally but only in special
and needy cases. From June, 1918, to
April, 1919, the Y M. c. A. handled in
France alone upwards of 2,000,0O0,000
packages of cigarettes, 100000 bars
of chocolate, 100000 cans of smok-
ing tobacco, 100000 cigars, 6O,OOO,-
600 cans jam, 100000 packages Of
chewing gum, and 100000 packages
of candy. These are only few OF
the items handled, but the size of
these figures should convince any
one that it would be financially i'm
possible for the Y. NJ. c. A. to give
its supplies away generally. Furth-
ermore, the army does not favor any
such policy. 1t thinks that it is far
better for the men to spend their
money on such articles as these, than
to spend it in other ways. For the
most part the men hold the same
view.
The Y. NJ. c. AS definite pro-
grom in Europe from the beginning,
and continuously, has been to bend
every effort and use every dollar
it could obtain to occupy the leis-
ure time of the soldiers, and to do
this with various forms Of entertain
ment, athletics, worthwhile educa-
tional activities, etc. Can there be
any doubt that every father and
mother, every wife and sister, and
the men themselves, will approve the
Y. NJ. c. AS course in this respect?
Is it not infinitely better to do every
thing possible to occupy the leisure
time and to fill the long dreary even
ings of the soldiers than to use the
money in giving away larger guam
tity of cigarettes, chocolates and
other similar articles?
