Runyon's Tour

Governor Runyon went around the
county on Thursday and spoke at sew
eral places. As he was in the care of
Charles Ii. Folwell, who planned the
trip, and who has been reported to
have said that if Runyon is elected L
will have much to say on matters con-
corning this county" it is fair to pre-
sumo that the Governor was posted on
what subjects to touch at certain stop
ping places. So at Burlington he took
the zone system and spoke right to the
pocket books Of his hearers, giving his
ideas on the Public Utilities Commits
sion, and said he believed that
the Commission should be great
court, appointed by the Governor,
composed of men in whose ability and
integrity as public servants the people
have every confidence. If elected,
Governor Runyon would have this
Commission reduced to three members
and he would be the man to select
them. That would be nice plum for
him to hand out, as recent occurrences
indicate that he proposes to get rid of
the present commission. Perhaps Fol-
well will be one of the three in whom
1.-The people have every confidence
There was another matter that had
to be Strengthened out. 1t Will be re-
membered that Folwell had derided
the colored men of the county and es-
pecially of Burlington, Reuben Ross
being the particular target, and had
called them hogs by put
ting them in the hog combine" a
very favorite theme of the editor and
one which apparently occupies his mind
day and night. So the Governor, evil
IDENTIFY tutored by the man who is
going to have much to say" paid
glowing tribute to the colored people of
this county, praising their fidelity and
the fine progress they are making
along various lines. 1t is not stated
Rube Ross loudly applauded
but those who we're present say that
the young lady across the way was
very conspicuous in the way in which
ne approved the remarks of the Govern
Or on this subject.

Five Killed In Collision

Five persons, two men and three
women, we're instantly killed and a
child was critically injured on Thurs
day afternoon when the driver of an
automobile disregarded the, warning of
q grade crossing guard at Taylor's
lane, on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
below Riverside, and ran his car direct
ly in front of an eastbound passenger
train. The dead are;
Mrs. Lanra Davis, 40 years old, East
Riverton.
Mrs. Laura Webb, 81 years old, East
Riverton, daughter of Mrs. Davis.
Mrs. Gertie Tuber. q Federal street,
Camden, friend of the Davis family.
Thomas J. Neary, 357 Porter street,
Philadelphia, driver of the car.
Winfield Chellen of Philadelphia.
The injured child is Laura Webb, A
years old, daughter of Mrs. Laura
Webb.
The accident happened at 2.55
o'clock, but it was not until nearly .
o'clock that the identity of the women
was established, although during that
entire period the husband and father
of two of the victims, Harry Davis, a
Waterman at the keystone Watch
Case Company's plant at Riyerton,
stood at his post across the street and
watched the crowd that congregated
about the tmprovised morgue at the
Riverside station, commenting with
passersby upon the awfulness OF the
tragedy, ignorant that it had wiped
out part of his family.
Determined if possible to fix the re-
sponsibility for the accident, Coroner
Leconey has postponed the call for
coroner's inquest until next Friday
morning, SO that he may obtain every
| bit of evidence that will throw ligh
upon the tragedy.
Later investigation of officials tend
to show that Neary, who was an ex
lperienced and careful driver, probably
did not see the signal or watchmal
| at the crossing or misunderstood it q
indicating that the way was clear
! while the view OF the approaching
! train was shut off from those in tn
| car by the little station building be
/, side the tracks.

American Legion.

The Burlington County Convention
of the American Legion was held in
the office of Clifford r. Powell, county
secretary, Mount Holly, on Saturday.
-Four Posts were represented. An
election for officers resulted as follows:
Chairman, Edward b. Stone; vice
chairman, Harry L. Ships; secretary,
Clifford r. Powell.
The secretary reported that, in adj
dition to the four Posts completely or
ganized, a charter had been received
for Beverly, an application for a Post
at Medford was in hand, and organiza-
ton work is proceeding at Roebling,
Riverside and Palmyra.
The State and National Conventions
will be held on October IL and Novem-
Der IL, respectively, and it was decided
that the following recommendation
should be made to those bodies:
l. For the deportation of enemy
aliens; for the voiding Of honorable dis
charges granted conscientious DIRECTORS;
for the prevention of conscientious
DIRECTORS becoming members of the
American Legion and the expulsion
of those who may be or may become
members; for the Acknowledgement Of
conscientious directors who refused to
perform military duty.
q Favoring legislation for the reclaim
alton of arid, swamp and cut-over tim
Der lands for the purpose of affording
ex-service men the opportunity to es-
tablish farms thereon.
8. For the adoption of ritual and
standard order of business in all Posts.
4. For further appropriations for
vocational training and employ
ment for crippled veterans Of the world
war; for an effort on the part of the
United States to get in communica-
ton with all such crippled veterans
and advise them as to their rights in
the matter of such training, rather
than the policy of waiting until appli-
cation is made on the part of the ex-
soldier.
s. Favoring strict enforcement of
the soldiers preferment act, now one
of the statutes of the State of New
Jersey, and further legislation, if neces-
sary, to make the same more effective.
6. For further efforts to have discharg-
ed soldiers and sailors to keep in force
the present war risk insurance, and to
fconvers the same within the time limit
ed by law; to have those who have
dropped the insurance reinstated; to
urge upon Congress the ACCESSIBILITY Of
payment of the insurance in one sum
rather than in monthly payments.
Z. Opposing the solioitationiof bonus
es and other forms of charity on the
part of veterans Of the world war.
g. For universal form of member
ship and due card, which could be
used to obtain admittance of members
to other posts than their own.
1t was decided to establish a county
executive committee, composed Of one
member from each Post, with the
officers of the county convention ex-
officio members. The duties Of this
committee will be to look after the ad-
ministration of county affairs, form q
basketball league and institute other
athletic events and advertise and build
up the Legion in this county.
| November IL will be the date for q
Joint celebration of Armistice and
American Legion day, and while nc
definite action was taken it is quite
likely there will be celebration in
Burlington.

An incident of travel was given on
Saturday at Burlington. A number of
people were waiting for car to go to
Florence to see ball game. A iitney
bus came along and with the an
nouncement that it would go right to
the ball ground it soon had load and
started just as trolley car came along
The passengers in the auto were loud
in their denunciation of the high fare
charged by the trolley people, but
when they went to settle with the auto
man they paid twice what it would
have cost to ride in the trolley and the
latter got to Florence ahead of the bus.
Speaking of the zone system have
you ever figured on what you are pay
ing for ride on the trolley car to Bur
lington? 1t is exactly what would
have to be handed out If the zone
system were in effect here. Three cents
for the first mile, two cents for each
additional mile-six of them-making
Is cents in all and that is just what
you pay now, only you pay it in differ
ent sections. If the zone system were
in effect on this road it would benefit
those who would ride only in the one
zone as they would have to pay three
cents instead of FIVE
