might be mentioned.
Doctor Snyder was educated at Ursinus
College and the Reformed Theological Semi

be glad to know that his abilities have been
recognized by the bestowal upon him of the
degree of doctor of divinity.
Ny association of his name with the above
doctors is due to the fact that the trustees
and faculty of Anselmo University. Cali

France as Chaplain Snyder.

The committee having decided that
Salem. the County seat, is the best
location for a County hospital and
that Ford's Hotel is suitable and can
be bought at a bargain, the campaign
is now to raise funds from a patriotic
motive.
There are more persons with COM
petences and leisure at the County
seat who may be volunteer workers
and attendants than in any part OF
the County. While many would pre-
fer that there be more ground sur
rounding the building in a more open
country, yet the extraordinary amount
of land in the rear of the building
which front on Market Street, for
a city lot and the bargain price is
sufficient reasons for all to unite in
making the drive for funds a success.
The State has two large hospitals
and most counties have n or more
for the convenience of the afflicted
who can pay also for the INDECENT who
can not do so. Hence Salem County
needs to be following in such needed
and Christian benevolent work.
No nation on earth until the intro
duction of Christianity ever had a
benevolent spirit and altruistic state
of mind. 1t was st. Paul in Athens
who first proclaimed God hath made
of one blood all nations of men to
dwell upon the earth" The people
who attempted to reach heaven by
building the tower of Babel have been
separated and at war ever since, but
in America all nations are being
gathered together again in one langu-
age and one speech, under the same
statutes, ordinances and judgments
for our moral and civil rules of living.
The fellowship has been welded
stronger by the World War than ever
before. Persons who have returned
from the war zone which have been
ravaged and ravished, declare Amer
lea is heaven" 1t may be far from
perfection, yet it is nearer than any
other place on earth. That which
makes it SO is the benevolent spirit
and altruistic attitude of mind as
manifested in the united spirit for
home and country expressed in the
word patriotism.
A united Jealous effort will make
the drive for funds a success and be a
manifestation of not only patriotism
but of Christian benevolence toward
the INDECENT fellow a

Vice Presidents, Roosevelt Greatest

ANY one for the liking of the odds
and ends of history will notice that
since the death of Theodore Roosevelt
there have been many references to
Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson, Arthur. Not
one of these was a weak or lnslgnltl-
cant man, but not one was chosen
President for the term succeeding the
unexpired one and not one was Serl-
ously considered afterward. John
Fiske has written to show that Tyler
was a far ADLER nan than has been
generally thought. Fillmore's little
biography shows that he had varied
gifts. Johnson's ultra stubborness
ought not to blind our eyes to his
moral courage and the important ser
vices he rendered during the war for
the Union. Arthur met an embarras-
ing situation with a tact and forbear-
ance that merit praise-if he did not
succeed in bringing Conkling and
Blaine together we have no reason to
suppose that anybody could have done
so. But while here and there n OF
careful reading or of long memory
makes an allusion to the four Vice
Presidents who succeeded to the Presl-
dency what a vast variety of opinions
pro and con, are expressed concern
ing the man who succeeded to the
Presidency, was elected, might have
run again, ran as a bolter in 1912, ano
was a possible candidate in 1916
Had Tyler or Fillmore left an autobi-

The Legislators continue to play the
role of political jockeys. The people
are not particularly suffering for
more laws which are rules to guide US
in our personal relations and public
affairs, but there are quite a number
who are greatly concerned as to the
political plums. the small offices at the
disposal of the organization. Those
