Trenton, n j., Aug. 30-Rev. Fred

has been endeavoring TO drive the
devil from the hearts of the immoral
bathers al Washngton's crossing" was
greeted yesterday with a shower of
oyer-ripe tomatoes when he appeared
at the resort to lecture them on the
immodestv of their attire.
The pastors automobile was wrecked
and he was punched and mauled, and
an attempt was made to duck him in
the Delaware river. He finally escaped
when constable held the mob back
with a drawn revolver.
Later the pastor was found nursing
a bruise on his face. His clothing was
covered with tomato seeds and stains
and his face streamed with perspira-
ton. He was still full of fight, how
ever, and determined, he said, to APP
pear at the hearing before the town
ship board next Thursday to present
his evidence on immortality among the
summer colonists.

Restoring the Guard.

IN spite of logic and the lessons of
experience, the United States refused
to require military training for its cit
liens. We put our reliance upon a
"ctizenry trained and accustomed to
arms" but we refuse to train and ac-
custom We have established the prin.
ciple of CONSUMPTION to service, but we
refuse to enforce preparation for serv-
ice. We can and do compel a citizen
to fight We refuse to insist that he
shall know how TO fight,
For this Inconsistency many thou
sands of our best died in France But
they are silent. Their comrades came
back full of resentment for this or that
injustice, but not for the great injus
tice, which lay at the basis of all their
failures and ills.
So we are back where we began on
the old shaky and always inadequate
basis of the volunteer system. We are
back and we must make the best of It.
The national guard, reorganized un.
der the new federal law, must be re-
filled through an appeal to the patriot
ism of our young men. But not Who'll
ly to their patriotism. The guard of
fers opportunities for physical train
ing, for sports, for social good times,
for an outing every year at the ex
pense of the state. 1t will appeal chiefly
perhaps, to those having taste for
military things and it is such who
make the best soldiers But we are
sure that the splendid records made by
the guard regiments in the great war
will appeal to the pride and emulation
of the young manhood. Many of the
officers will be veterans tried in the
fierce fires of actual warfare and their
leadership ought to inspire our young
men TO enter their commands and per-
feet themselves in the first duty of cit
kenship, the defence of ones country.

STATE BANKS GROWING.
Increase in Number and Resources
Greater Than National Banks.

While the national banking system
has been strengthened by the creation
Of the federal reserve banks, it, com.
petition seems TO have stimulated the
activities and growth of the more nu.
merous state banks. The national
banks received enlarged powers under
the federal reserve act. They transact
business formerly confined TO the state
institutions. They may act in many
states as trustee, executor. admins.
TRAITOR and registrar of securities. Many
have opened savings bank departments.
They lend money on farm lands
Yet there has been a great growth in
resources of the state institutions since
June, 1918, a. disclosed by returns
from state banking departments re.

state banks have added SO billions to
