couNTERFElT STAMPS HAS
MuMPs.

Postmaster Thomas has issued .
warning to thrifty perons hereaboutsl
to be on their guard against bHyingf
counterfeit War Savings Stamps.
Fraudulent blue stamps OF the 1919
series have been made by counterfeit
ers. the postmaster has been advised,
and are being, sold to the unwary.
"But the frauds can be easily de-
tected,' the. postmaster said. Ben
Franklin's picture appears on the
stamp. and in the counterfeit stamp,
old Ben seems to have the mumps In
his left Jaw Indeed, there Is o pro-
nounced swelling. Then under the
portrait the lower OF the two left dots
lis comparatively indistinct, and the
vertical opening between the lines In
the lower left part OF the mineral Y IN
the date 1924 is closed. The princi.
Pile! feature OF the fraud. however, IS
the swollen cheek.
ut should be remembered that the
counterfeit is only of the 1919 series.
and, like the original, is blue. Blue
War Savings Stamps can nc, longer be
bought from post offices or other au-
thorized agenciesN Only the 1920
stamps which are red. are now being
sold by agencies. Sales of last years
stamps are not legal. No one should
buy 1919 stamp, though it is true
that some have been improperly offer
ed for sale.
Everyone who bought 1919 stamps
postmaster said in conclusion, "be-
cause the counterfeit was not made
until after the first Of this year. The
blue stamp had then been withdrawn
from sale by the authorized agencies,
and the red 1920 stamp was being sold.
Don't. buy any 1919 stamps, and keep
look out for the picture of the man
with the humps. If you see one let
me know"

have the advantages of their of

encompass the defeat of a

IvANN FOR CONGRESS.

Evidently there was some
thing in the remarkable spec
tacle Of both Hammer and Brock
running for Congress while hold
inc On with beak and claw to
their present Offices, for it now
appears that the Attorney Cen
eral has ruled that he will not
interfere with Mr.. Hammers
candidacy.
1t is well known to some of us
that when Judge Clark was be-
sought to run for Governor
against DanI L. Russell he re
fused to allow his name to be
presented to the Convention I'm
less he were allowed in the in
term to retain his seat on the
Supreme Court Bench. The, Con-
vention refused, and properly so,
to establish the precedent and
nominated Cyrus B. Watson.
Just the other day Wilson, Solicit
tor of the Mecklenburg CASTOR
District, declared his intention
to be a candidate for Congress,
and when interviewed said ne
would hold on to his present Of
flee giving as a reason others
were doing the same thing, yet
three days later he withdrew
from the Congressional race. Let's
make a demonstration somewhat
personal and at home. Take our
good friend McAuley our clerk
whose office has two years to
run. What would the voters OF
Richmond County think and
what reception would he receive
if he had declared for the House
or Senate this year and had in
sisted on holding on to his pres.
ent office of Clerk. Now these
two Office holding candidates
are asking the voters OF Rich
mond County to help establish
a precedent in this COMPRESSION
al District which the voters
would repudiate if sought to b.
established in our county affairs
It is a precedent dangerous ant
undemocratic and selfish, and il
the first step in the establish
ment of an Office holders trust il
the State such as will in m.
Judgment lead to future bicker
ings and strife. Personally
would like to have heard thes
candidates in joint discussion
and so would the people think
resent the imputation that tn,
party would have been injure'
thereby. That is not the tru
reason. also resent the intima
ton that those holding AM
seeking office prefer to look up
on the party as a bottle fed in

ELECTION EXPENSE
/ PLACED ON COUNTY
Cities Liable Only When Special
Ballot Is Taken, Says
Attorney General
FILING Is. NOT NECESSARY

Trenton. July 3O.-1n an opinion of
widespread Importance to the voters of
the state. as well as the authorities
charged with the enforcement of the
act. Thomas +. McCran, attorney gen
eral. replying to several questions pro
pounded by Bertram Z. Mott. county
clerk of Morris. gave the first official
construction on the revision of the cleo
tion law passed at the present session.
Mr.. McCran decides that the county
is chargeable for all the expense of con
ducting general election. whether the
same is conducted by the county clerk.
the county Board of Election or the
municipal clerk in behalf of the county
clerk. The only expense to be borne by
the municipality under the revision Is
that of printing the ballots for the pri d,
mary election and for conducting local
municipal elections in those municipali-
ties where the election is conducted sep
arate and apart from the general cleo
ton.
For the new or additional duties I'M
posed upon county or municipal clerks
they are not entitled to any additional
compensation, the attorney general also
rules. AS to the duty of providing ana
maintaining polling places, the op!!ni9n
says that while 1t Is the duty OF the
municipal clerk to look after the cree
tion Of polling booths. the cost OF tne
booth and its erection Is a proper charge
to be paid for by the county,
Answering n further inquiry as 20
whether it is proper and lawful for thr,
county clerk to pay for the use oil
schoolhouscs or municipal buildings
when used for polling places, the opinion
directs that where the property belongs
TO the public. whether municipal. county
or state, when it is designated as a
polling place the county is not required
TO make compensation for the same.
The opinion further declares that it
Is legal to write in upon the. primary
ballot the name of person for whom
no petition has been filed. and that it is
the right of every voter to vote for
any person to fill an Office whether he
has been nominated or not in accord =
ance with the law.

Action by the league council in making
an advisory award, however, awaits on
opinion from a special commission oil
three Jurists to whom, since the per =
manent court of international justice is
still in process of formation, was re-
ferred Finland's claim that the dis
pute was purely a domestic matter and
outside the jurisdiction Of the league
under Article XIV Of the league COW
enant.
The Aland island situation was laid
before the league by Great Britain as
q league member not interested in the
dispute except as it might threaten
world peace through n possible conflict
between the contending states, neither
OF which was council member and one
OF which, Finland, not even member
of the league.
Sweden was admitted to council mem.
bership Immediately under the covenant
provision covering such cases. Finland
had applied for league membership, but
cannot be formally admitted until the
first assembly meets. For purpose OF
the Aland island case, however, she
was given council representation with
the consent of all members. including
Sweden.
f1nland's appeal to Article Nv cov-
ering domestic matters stayed action by
the council pending an advisory iegal
opinion on the point. Should IL DC
upheld, under the covenant the council
would so announce with no recommen-
datlons as to settlement.
BY accepting the invitation to present
the case before the council however,
the disputant nations, according to the
London review, have engaged to fulfil
other covenant provisions which would
bind them not to go to war until at
least three months after the award Of
the council has been published. AT the
conclusion of the London meeting OF
the council President Balfour asked and
received from the representatives of the
two countries formal, public assurances
that nothing would be done in the mean
time by either party to aggravate the
delicate situation arising out of the
dispute as to ownership of the Aland
group.

Ware leaders charged today that the
administration had given administra-
tion ward leaders a list of city employees
for the purpose Of learning whether or
not they are good employees or
bad.
They assert that are employees are
not acting as spies and reporting po-
litical activities through their ward
leaders. but that administration leaders
are instructed TO pass on whether the
Ware employees are to retain their jobs
or not.
They say the men should be passed
on by city officials, and not admins
tration ward leaders.
The practice of ward leaders passing
on the fitness of employees. they say,
has been unknown in Philadelphia since
the Ashbridge administration, when
Mayor Moore was private secretary to
Mayor Ashbridgc.
