Investigation by Mr.. j. Roy Will

of eleven, twelve and thirteen years
of age find no difficulty, in pur-
chasing cigarettes for merchants of

that it is against the law. Reports
coming to Mr.. Wilkerson from the
schools of the city caused him to
make an investigation giving the lad
some money he told him. to go out

CHEER REQ
Missouri Senator Delivers Four
Hour Attack on League
of Nations
MAY STOP Demonstration


the end of four hour attack on the
League of Nations by Senator Reed,
OF Missouri Democrat, who refus-
ed to stand with his party for unre-
served. ratification of the peace
treaty, of which the league covenant
is part, the Senate galleries late
today started a demonstration that
had to wear itself out and then his
sed violent disapproval when the
cheering was condemned from the
floor.
There has been an outburst like
it since the treaty fight was put be-
fore the Senate by the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. But there were
indications today soon after Sena-
tor Reed began his speech that the
crowds, swarming for admittance
at all doors, were in sympathy with
his arguments. Mindful of the evil
dences of feeling in the galleries.
Senator Cummins, president pro-
tenn, gave warning while applause
might be tolerated, despite Senate
rules, at the end of the address it
would not be permitted at other
times. Threats to clear the galleries
if repeated had NO effect and no
attempt was made to enorce the long
standing rule.
When Senator Reed closed his
, speech the applause broke, follow
ed instantly by lusty cheering from
! every gallery. Men in uniform join
ed in the demonstration and many
| women stood, waved their arms
wildly and shouted with the men.
Senator Ashhurst, Democrat, OF
Arizona, sitting nearest Senator
Reed and first to congratulate him,
shouted loudly for order moment
| later, and the crowds, not knowing
what to expect, suddenly became
still. But the quiet orderliness of the
the Senate did not prevail long, for
as the spectators realized their con-
duct was being condemned a wave
of kissing went through chamber
while gallery guards struggled no eff
feet and made no attempt Uas made
! to subdue and eject those response
| BILE for it..
Still speaking to the crowds Sen
ator Ashurst declared the fate OF
nations was at stake while they
were attempting to make the Senate
of the United States a police court,
Lodge nd Hitchcock, the party lead
ers, to stop it. The Arizona Sen.
ator declared the galleries would
not applaud decision of the high
est court, which had never been call
ed upon to decide a question of such
tremendous importance to the world
The appeal was met with another
vol1ey of Kisses, to which the Ariz
ona Senator replied that only snak
es and geese hissed. Meanwhile the
chair was pounding for order, an6
the crowds began piling out pei
nell, while members on the floor
were swarming around the Senator
Reed.

nized above the hubbard, which 81
! rudely had shattered the dignit.

Thinks On GA. lening

The writer having always taken an
interest in gardening while living in
Carneys Point and elsewhere wishes
to advise his old friends that the day
OF war gardening is by no means past.
Apart from the worlds scarcity of
food which is still more or less acute,
prices will be sufficiently high this
season to make it urgent upon every
thrifty householder to equal last years
fine record in raising garden products.
The first step is the securing of good
seed. Seed catalogues should be OBJ
tanned from reliable houses and q
study made of the varieties offered.
Orders should go in early so thst the
best quality and varieties may be OBJ
tanned. If the purchase of SEED is left
until planting time the gardener may
start with a handicap in the way of
poor seeds that no amount of hard
work in the latter part of the season
may overcome; 1t iYoften necessary
to use seeds from he grocery store,
but such seeds shotld be regarded as
a supplement rather than a main sup
ply. Poor seed hever pays even if
the price is much lower. Cheap seed
is generally more expensive in the
long run. Carneys Point and Penns
Grove have good fertile soil and it is
hoped the war garden will be as pop
llar as ever with u people.

Farmer Beaten and Robbed

Authorities are in search of the per-
son who attacked Levin Tull, an Old
mans Township farmer, early last
Saturday morning and beat him nor
riblv with an ak. The search is beng
conferred on George Leonard, 10 years
old. who was until a few days before
in the farmers employ. Tull, who
went out to his hotbeds between D and
6 o'clock, did not return for breakfast
and an investigation was made. he
was found lying on the floor in a pool
of blood with four wounds on his head
and a finger almost severed. An ak
near by was covered with blood, show
ing that it was the weapon used.
Near the farmer were Leonard's
gloves and an old pair of shoes. The
farmer has not regained consciousness.
His clothing had been rifed and a sum
of mon taken. A shot bag in which
he carried his coin was found IN an
adjoining field. Suspicion points to
Leonard as the assailant, for on
Sunday he quit the Tull place after
being paid off and removed all his be-
longings, including the gloves and
shoes that were found after the as
sault. 1t was known that he was in
the locality on the day of the dastardly
assault and it is believed he slept in
the dollhouse all night. Wilmington
officers picked up a colored boy ans
wering Leonard's description on Sat
urday but Sheriff Mifflin failed to
identify him, and he IA released.
Word has been sent to all the police
of South Jersey and the Sheriff is con-
fdent that Leonard will be captured
within a short time.
Citizens are greatly agitated ovel
the crime and have raised $500 as a
reward for the arrest of Leonard and
Sheriff Mifflin has added an additional
500. Tull's condition is slowly i'm
proving.

ment? According to civil law and
legal ethics the former is wrong and
the latter is right, but is society IN
iured more by one than the other.
When weak minded, dope addicted,
lewd and diseased persons are set
free, society becomes contaminated
physically and morally to the deterl-
Grafton of the human race. Society eX-
poets such to be sent to prison or the
reformatory. Read the above decision
again. When an accessory is sent to
prison for receiving money on the tes-
timony of criminals only. and the
principals in the acts are set free, most
people call that a raw deal to the ac-
cessory also to society. We do not
a it was even done. We say when.
Does any sensible citizen of Salem
County want to be sent to prison on
the testimony of criminals previously
arrested and convicted by them, also
confessed to subsequent criminallty and
those witness foreigners whose testl-
monv has to be taken thru interpre-
tiers and these criminals set free !
When such is the procedure of any
court where is the safety of any of
fetal arresting a person? Where is
the safety of any judge giving a SEN
tence, or any person acting as VIII
ness?
Penns Grove citizens may go down
into their pockets $4,000 and pay for
police, and notice how few fines are
imposed to make criminals pay the
cost. Viii it be safe to arrest any
n and impose fines hereafter?
We make no plea for wrong dolngs,
only present facts, and ask a few
questions.
From them we draw the conclusion
like others that Penns Grove is getting
a raw deal, when accessories are pun
ished more than the principals.
In these days of equal rights for
women they should be given equal
punishments with men. At least a
principal should be given as much as
an accessory. Sentimental emotional
sympathy should not stand IN the way
of viragos and amazons.
When persons are afflicted with
smallpox and scarlet fever they are
not allowed from quarantine on con-
dition that they go to another county
or state. Society there is entitled to
protection as we'll as from where they
are sent.
