SUPPORT THE ONLY PLAN
FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE.

Let the true purpose OF our party BE-
clearly understood. We stand squarely
for the same ideals of peace as those fol-
which the war was fought. We support
without fiinching the only feasible plan
for peace and justice. We will not sub
NIT to the reputation Of the peace treaty
or to any process by which it Is whitfield
down to the vanishing point. We de
cline to compromise our principles OF
pawn our immortal souls for selfish pur-
poses. We do not turn our backs upon
the history of the last three years. We
seek no avenue of retreat. We insist
that the forward course is the only
righteous course
We seek to re-establish the fruits OF
victory, to reinstate the good faith of our
country, and to restore 1t to Its rightful
place among the nations of the earth
Our cause constitutes summons to
duty. The heart of America stirs again,
The ancient faith revives. The immortal
part Of man speaks for us. The services
of the past, the sacrifices Of the war, the
hopes of the future, constitute n spiritual
force gathering about our banners. We
shall release again the checked forces
of civilization and America shall take
up once more the leadership of the world

Steering Gear Of Loaded
Bus Breaks Plunging
Auto IS Feet On To Ice
Fact No Fatalities Resulted Considered Miracle Y Said to
Have Been in MANY Caught Under Auto1 Taken to
Hospital Driver George EVegan, Most Seriously Injured
Probe is Likely.

Twenty-Five persons. passengers in
an automobile bus coming to this city
from South Amboy about 1880 o'clock
last night, miracu ously escaped death
or serious injury, when the car, as
the result of something going wrong
with the steering geaers, crashed
through the railing on the west side
OF the bridge, turned over in the air
and landed with crash fifteen feet be-
low on the Ice. All of the occupants
of the car were caught under the
machine. which landed on the ice with
four wheels up in the air. Eleven
of the injured were taken to the local
hospital A small space about two
and half feet in heighth. in the rear
of the wrecked bus formed means
OF escape and one by one the passen-
gers crawled out.
Only the fact that the river was
frozen thickly, at this point prevented
a calamity, as there is as much as ten
feet of water at this point at high
tide. The river was frozen over so
hard that even the weight Of the fall
inng car and Its human cargo failed
to crack the ice. Upon once freeing
themselves from the debris the oc-
oupants scrambled to the bridge
above, a ladder having been secured
by a passing autoist. who had seen the
accident.

DELMORE
On ONE CHARGE
Local Man on Trial Again on An
other Girls Charge
ey StdT CorreSDondeni.
NEW BRUNSWICK

BU stan CorTeSD0ndfnf.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 4.-Wll-
liam Delfnore, the Perth Amboy drug
clerk on trial here yesterday charged
with a serious crime on fifteen year
old May Engen, alao of that city, was
acquitted by a jury after almost six
hours deliberation. The jury went out
at 345 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
and returned at $50 o'clock last night.
Although the states case against Del
more was considered one of the
strongest in the Perth Amboy vice
cleanup conducted in December, last,
he produced alibis to prove his state
ments as to his whereabouts and ac-
tions on certain days in question.
Although acquitted yesterday by a
jury, Delmore was again placed on
trial this plorning, this time on q
charge Of fornication made by Helen
McGraw, Of Keasbey. John E. Tool
an is still representing the defendant
and Assistant Prosecutor John A.
Coan, the state.
The testimony in this mornings s
case was similar in many respects to
that heard yesterday, Delmore giving
the same account of his actions while
the girls again described the furnish
ings in Delmore's house. The defense
pointed out that one by looking in
the windows of the house could see
sufficiently to make possible such
descriptions. A denial that the girls
were ever in the Delmore house was
made. A description of certain rings
and clothing belonging to Mrs. Del
more which the McGraW girl claimed
Delmore had shown her while in the
house was also accounted for by the
defense in saying that the girls had
seen this jewelry on Mrs. Delmore at
the cigar factory where she was en-
ployed, while q denial was made that
Mrs. Delmore owned one particular
coat at the time the alleged crime
was committed at the Delmore home
The girls claimed they had made
their visits to the Delmore home on
Wednesday afternoons about
o'clock. The defense brought evil
dence that Delmore did not have
Wednesday afternoons off although
Ralph Seaman, his employer, de-
clared he had from 1890 until 1880
for lunch.
In summing up Attorney Toolan
again claimed that the whole matter
was a "frame-up' on the part of the
McGraw girl on the defendant. In
charging the jury Judge DAILY ex-
planned that if found guilty the pen
atty would be $50 fine, or six months
in jail, or both. He said that the
girl had already confessed her guilt
and that she could not be guilty
alone. if her statement was true. The
case went to the jury at 1850 o'clock
The jury in this second case con-
sists Of William Stults, Edward
Meagher, James GLADDEN., Edward
Dalton, Joseph Young, Walter r.
Church, Theodore Spawn, Harvey
Hauser Jasper Buckalew, Luther II.
Quackenbush, William Stewart, Elmer
+. Housell. Three challenges were
made by either side in selecting the
jury.

Big men ENDORSE new SCHOOL Law
Democratic Senator and Republican Leader In Accord
On Welfare of Children

i Senator j. G. W. Beckman was seen
some time ago by your staff repre-
sentative who asked the Senator for
his views upon the new County School
Administration Law. The Senator's
very hopeful statement is given in full
below:
"While / have not had a chance TO
read the entire school law passed by
the last session of the Legislature. |
have been informed of its general pro-
visions and am very hopeful that it
will accomplish great good for our
county schools and enable them TO
make greater progress than ever.
: ut is hardly necessary for me to
say how deeply interested | am in
the school work in our State. for dur
ing the time | was member of the
Legislature, and Governor, | always
gave especial consideration TO the
progress and development of our
school system. 1t is great work.
The rural schools have not, of course
had the advantages of the city schools
and l earnestly hope that the new
system adopted under this law may
prove satisfactory and successful in
every way.
81 understand that under the new
law County Boards of Education are
to be elected in the state on November
End, and l trust that the people Of
every county will realize the great I'M
pOrtance Of this election and see to il
that the best persons possible 10 Sc
cure for that work shall be elected.
'The success of the law will depend
to very considerable extent upon
the character and intelligence of those
who make up these county boards.

In our State than the improvement
and development Of our schools, and
especially the rural schools. l was

DON'T SklMP ON SCHOOLS

Every magazine and newspaper In
the land is printing editorials con-
corning the schools of the nation.
The Youths Companion has the fol-
lowing TO say concerning the schools
in America:
"The schools of America were
founded and maintained by sacrifice |;
only so can they be preserved. The
teacher must be convinced of the
value and dignity of his service that
he will not lightly abandon 1t for
some occupation that offers more ease
or excitement or money. And on the
other hand the public must stop being
niggardly. 1t must tax itself more
heavily for schools than II has been
in the habit Of doing. and it must pay
salaries that do not degrade the
teacher in the eye of the community.
Wherever else Q county must skimp,
let It not skimp on Its schools"
The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1920-10-13

which are giving splendid service. A
few of the rural districts in Kentucky
have done the same thing for their
children, but many counties have been
backward in giving the country child
a real opportunity for a first-class ed
ucatiOn because of laws which have
permitted the schools to be pulled into
local politics.
1T is indeed fortunate that both Of
the political parties in Kentucky at
the last session of the Legislature
laid aside all party feeling, got to-
gether and passed Il group of strong
school laws that will remake the rural
schools. These new school laws will
practically take the County Boards Of
Education and the County Superin-
tendent out of politics and keep them
out of politics if the voters will think
of the children when they go to the
polls in November.
Every right thinking man and
woman should vote for strong men for
the new County Boards Of Education.
These right thinking people should
also urge others to do likewise that
every small school shall be developed
to serve the children, and in serving
the children make the State what 1t
should be in the future"
