PARADE PERMITS

An ordinance has been proposed in

without Il city permit.
Ii is meeting with the usual. Objec
tiOns from the usual sources; is called
unconstitutional, and denounced as di-
rectly opposed to the principles OF
liberty and free speech which are Il
part OF Americas very life.
These objections SAVIOR of the per-
formances of children, who noticeably
avoid asking parental consent when
they know that their contemplated
schemes are mischief, when If they
intend TO do no HARM asking permis
sion is no hardship at all.
II is the abuse of the privilege Oi
free speech which has made il neces
sary to curtail it. 1t is the anarchis
tic parade with its red flag and Its
open espousing of the destruction by
violence of constituted authority thai
has brought the parade under surveil
lance.
Recalling these facts, any loyal indi
vidual or group should be willing L
apply for permit to give publicity tt
its views.
On the other hand, those having il
charge the issuance of permits shOult
be OF unquestionable loyalty them

value OF daylight, will grant publicit

MONEY AND MORALS

II appears from Il recent interview
that lenine, the Holshevist leader, is
very proud of the depreciation of the
money issued by his government. lie
wants 1t to depreciate, and the lower
II goes the better satisfied he is SO
he keeps the presses working over
time, mot i'm order to fill the Golfers
of the state with practically worthless
paper, but with the deliberate inten-
ton of destroying the value of the
money as means of payment"
lie doesn't believe in money, you
see, because money suggests the old
"capitalistic system And so he is
doing his best to discredit it.
Maybe he is succeeding in that pur-
pose, but ii is far more likely that he
is merely discrediting Bolshevism.
Real money ey-"honest-to-God money
az Americans sometimes call it, not
altogether irreverently is not hurt
by such process It is only driven
into hiding and priced the more when
the market is flooded with bogus cur.
rency. Every fake ruble put out by
Lenine's printing presses raises the
value of sound money, just as every
lie raises the value of truth.
The trouble with fist money" is
that ii is exactly lie. No man, nc
government, no power on earth, can
make Il ruble, dollar, n franc, a
pound, by the simple process of calling
il 80. The United States treasury
could put out a bank note labeled
"One Dollar" and no intelligent citi
zen would accept il as such unless
ii also bore q promise that the govern
ment would exchange gold or silver
for that piece of paper.
TO create money the government
would have to create out of nothing
gold or silver, or some other accept
able form of real wealth. And it can
not do that There have been large
numbers of Americans, more than
once in our history, who wanted thu
government to issue unsecured paper
but that heresy has passed away.
The basic requisite for money il
precisely the same as the basic requi
site for business and for human char
acter. II is honesty, anything tha
purports to be mOney--a form o
wealth exchangeable for other form
of wealth-must be precisely what |
says it is. And money, for this yer.
reason, is a good criterion of nationa
character If you want to know
whether Il nation or a government |
straight and dependable, look at tn
market value of its money. Our
stands the test.

AS soon as the Township Committee
published a notice in the Penns Grove
Record that they purposed passing An
ordinance imposing a license on auto
mobiles which carry passengers for
hire, a Jitney Drivers Association was
organized. Charles Jones was elected
president and julius Stevens, secre-
tary and treasurer.
A committee with Mr.. C. G.. Cheese
man, chairman, was appointed to ar
range a schedule of rates, engage law
yers to look out for the associations
interests and meet the Township Com
mittee, June 25th. Mr.. R. L. Martin
vas appointed chairman of the By
Laws Committee.
Regular drivers object to men work
ing at the plant and running jitney
when off employment. The Trolley
officials claim jitneys injure their busi-
ness. The jitney drivers contend that
if persons prefer to pay 10 cents and
be taken to certain parts of the vii
lagos, instead of 5 cents on the trolley
that is the riders business. At the
hearing given by the Township Com
mittee on the 25th, the issue will be
threshed out by the attorneys.

Some Shooting On The River Front

Mamie Knapp lives at 269 River
Front. She has two young children.
On Wednesday Charles Allen, who
lives in the same neighborhood, went.
to Mrs. Knapp's house and demanded
entrance, evidently for some Interior
purpose. She refused to admit him
and he threatened to batter down the
door. The threat proving ineffective
he pulled out a revolver and began
firing through the door. Mrs. Knapp,
had a revolver in the house and she,
began shooting back, firing six shots
in all, also without effect. The shoot
ing alarmed the neighborhood and Al
len started to make his escape. Chief
of Police Houseworth soon appeared
and captured the fellow at the ferry.
He was taken before Recorder
Duffy and held under 5000 bail for a
further hearing this Friday night.
