New Hospital as Memorial

A new, modern county hospital, has
been selected as the best and most fit.
ting memorial to the soldiers and sail
ors who went into the service from this
county during the war with Germany
This is the conclusion reached bv the
committee recently appointed by the
Mount Holly Business Mems Associa-
ton to take up the important subjectl
The committee is to be congratulated
upon having chosen this most suitable
form of memorial. 1t is one which in
stantly appeals to and is recognized by
every person as being especially appro-
pirate. No better form of memorial
could have been selected.
The announcement of the commit
tees conclusion was made by the chair
man Y. Claude Palmer, at the annual
banquet of the Mount Holly Business
Mems Association, last Tuesday even
ing, and met with applause and gen
eral commentator.
This is distinctly to be a county me- |
mortal, one in which every community
can be interested and contribute to
Every township in the county sent
men into the military or naval service
during the war. Every small, as we'll
as the large, community furnished its
quota of men. The men from the small
municipalities deserve equal recogni-
ton with those from the cities and
large towns. But the small districts
cannot erect suitable memorial on
account of the cost. II all join in one
fine, magnificent undertaking, the re-
suit will be credit to the county and
a great honor to the young men who
went into the country's service.
The present Burlington County Hos
pital buildings long since have become
inadequate for the constantly increas.
Ing demands made upon them. This
Institution for many years has minis
tered to patients from all over the
county, most of them without cost. 1t
has the reputation OF being one of the
best institutions in South JERSEY.
Every year its field of usefulness has
been extended to such an extent that
arger quarters and increased facilities
ire urgently needed. The erection OF
. new hospital as a memorial solves
his problem and is fine solution of !
he subject.

School Matters of Interest

Copies of the printed report of th,
Mount Holly School Survey are selling
rapidly to educators all over the state
The price is 81. and copies can be pro
cured from the supervising principa
or district clerk.
A special school meeting will be held
at the court house next Tuesday even
ing, February IL, for the purpose Of
voting the necessary appropriations to
conduct the schools Of the township.
The sum asked for is $50, $50, made up
as follows: repairs, $500; current ex-
penses, $26,5OO; manual training,
81, 750 This is an increase over last
year of $2,750. 1t is stated that most
of the increase is required for teachers
salaries, which are much lower here
t han in other schools of the same size
and standing. The board of education
has had considerable difficulty in OBJ
tanning teachers because of this situa-
ton, and it should be remedied. The
sum asked for repairs is reduced 81 900
from last years figures. Under the
law women are entitled to vote at this
election.
The following letter from the State
High School inspector is published at
the request OF the Board of Education.

all citizens interested in having the
Mount Holly schools take their proper
place of leadership among the institu-
tions of South Jersey:

Random Remarks

The Riverton NeaD Era says: "Many
Palmyra people, of whom twenty-three
were witnesses, attended the Haines
trial, and the general impression seems
to be that the once famous Jersey JUS
tice' miscarriel sadly. They blame
Prosecutor Kelsey for the result, de-
claring that he bungled the case some
what and failed to take advantage OF
many opportunities to press his strong
points. The attorney assigned by JUS
tice Kalisch to defend Haines was Rob-
ert Peacock, who originally had assist
ed the prosecution in preparing its
case, and consequently had an unusual
advantage. Under the guidance of
Peacock, Haines, when he took the
stand in his own defense, told story
of Mrs. Hartley's death, which appear
ed utterly ridiculous in point of yer
acity to those who knew something of
the case. Yet the prosecutor failed to
shake the story materially, and some
of the Palmyra men who returned be-
fore the verdict was rendered that
night were almost convinced that
Haines would be acquitted.

Two chapters in an interesting case
in our court have been closed but there
seems to be another yet open that
should be given consideration. A man
was convicted of bigamy. That he is
guilty is beyond question and that he
deserved the sentence he received is
equally correct Then the assessor of
Riverside township was indicted for
issuing an illegal license which made
the crime of bigamy possible. That
this official did wrong is true but he
claimed, and his statement bore the
stamp of truth upon it, that he did
not think he was doing anything ille-
gal when he dated the license two days
back because he knew the man and
his brother and knew they had been
to his house on the date in question.
He has been assessor for Is years, has
issued over 600 licenses and never be-
| fore made a break. But he aclnow-
lodged he had done wrong in this case
and was fined. Now comes the woman
in the case. Up to this time, SO far as
we know, nothing has been done with
her, although she admitted on the
witness stand that she was only II
years of age, but had sworn to her age
as 81 years in order to get the license
to marry. If this matter has been
correctly reported the papers are on
file within the reach of the prosecutor
of the pleas. That officer has frequently
stated in open court that his efforts
while in Office are to see that the guilty
do not escape, and that fear or favor
are not to guide his steps. The court,
in imposing sentence, has said that
the object was to punish the offender
as we'll as to serve as warning to
others. If all this is the idea why have
two persons in transaction been pun
ished while the other and third one is
allowed to escape when by her own
confession she has acknowledged
guilt?

here. It is time for us to insist on a minimum of civic education for all persons. Certainly if state justifies the expenditure of vast sums of money for elementary and higher schools on the grounds that well-in- formed citizens are more valuable than ignorant ones, it cannot afford to allow so many older people to be without knowledge or with distorted and untrue information concerning the working of the government itself.
 Ours Is Best But Not Perfect
 Some of those who are now op- posed to orderly control have griev- ances. Though our American gov ernment Is t1e best 50 far, it is not perfect. Those grievances, real or immaginary, must be investigated and adjusted if adjustment is needed or possible. And at the same time we have the American spirit must give those who do not have 1t faith in our country's ability and intention to deal evenhanded justice to all. And our method in doing this must be much the same as that by which we ourselves acquired that faith growth in the knowledge of our coun- try and her laws.
 While the great national school Of citizenship is in session we will take care that no dissatisfied pupils set fire to the school building. Bur if we expend our energies solely in policing the grounds and do not ac- lively engaged in instruction on wide scale, our efforts to build a homogeneous people cannot meet with more than a small degree Of success. By proceeding in the direc- tion I have outlined above we will bring about, not the conditions which obtained before so many of alien par cntage and with foreign ideas sought our shores, but a better realization of the Gettysburg ideal than has been known up to this time

LUMBER PRICES.

Horace F. Taylor president of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association, writing from Buffalo, N. Y.. to the Division of Public Works and Construction Developments of the U. S. Department of Labor, does not hesitate to say material reduc- tions in lumber prices will develop very slowly, if at all. Mr. Taylor says:
 The very clear maOrity of opin- ion we derive from representatives of the industry in all parts of the country, is in effect that there will te nc further reduction in the cost of lumber for long period, and that thele is no safe ground, therefore, for postponing building in the hope of a price reduction ill this material. We lcok upon the present rather quiet conditions as temporary only and due to industrial readustment, soon to give place to very sound activity. The cost of maxim glunlber offers no chance of reduction, both on account of materials, and suplies and the cost of labor which, it sems not only nec- essary but desirable to maintain at as HcdIly all ducuudCo ldtG "o Poo'i- ble in view of the present cost of llv- ing In addition to the ordinary in- crease in demand that is expected, an unusual call for lumber for export to Europe will soon begin to have it's effect on the situation. Logging con- ditions during the present winter have bene unfavorable, particularly in the North. and lumber production will ap- parently be less than that of normal years for some time to come. There is only one possible conclusion based upon the opinion of those consulted and that is that as afar as the lum- Der market is concerned, the present is an advantageous time to purchase.

FORD WILL BUILD MORE PLANTS FOR
 NEW AUTOMOBILE

Los Angeles, Calif., Mar. 6.-Furth- CT details of Henry F'ord's plan to biuld new automobile at a less cost to the public than any automo- bile now extensiely sold, were pub lished today. The new car will be built at factories startegically placed fer economic collection of. raw mat eria1 and distribution of the product, Mr. Ford said. He is enroute today to his home in Detroit.
 As outlined here by Mir. Ford, h1s plans contemplate the early erection Of a parent plant probably at De- troit or at some point in the central states where water power. will be available. This lant, he said, he hoped to operate within aSsyear and then he plans to erect other factories in various parts of the country. ;, The new company which will be owned entirely by himself and fam fly, was decided upon. he said be- cause of court decisions requiring him to disburse in dividends certain money of the Ford Motor Company which he had individually wished to hold as cash reserve.
