Divorce nusiness Heavy.

Last year was very heavy one in the chancery court stated Hunter Armstrong yesterday. Making a check 1 find that there was total of 1,173 cases disposed of in the court from July to December 20. During this half year there were also 1,040 new cases filed, and at the end of the year on December 20 here were 9S5 cases left unfinished on the docket It might be interesting to note also that the percentage of divorce cases was high, and l would judge they amounted to about so per cent of the total,

thought, when the Women's Temper ance Union organized in a quiet way the crusade against beer, wine and whisky about fifty years ago, that the United States would ever become "bone-dry?"
 If the Anti-Saloon League could in a short time get control of the coun- try, why may not the anti-tobacco fanatics achieve success in the course of few years?
 Four years ago the Alabama legis- lature passed a bill prohibiting the sale of cigarettes, and it was killed in the senate only by the vote of Lieutenant Givernor Kilby, who voted in the tie.

 Some men use tobacco to excess, just as some men and women drink coffee to excess, but such are the ex- ceptions to the rule.
 Regarding cigarettes, we have it lon no less an authority than the Lon- don Lancet, as the result of labora- tory experiment, that tobacco used in moderation is not injurious to the nervous system and that the little coffin nail," so-called by the ene- mics of the weed, is the least ;njuri- ous of all.

Never before in this country have good roads been as prominently before all the people as at present. for cities, counties and states are getting ready to take advantage of the nations offer to put the highways in such a condition as to insure their proper maintenance after they are built. Not only has the National Good Roads association and other organizations of statewide influ- ence been active in propaganda to do for America a big thing in the way of highway building, but the Alabama Highway Improvement Association has done some most cl editable work in pre- pairing the way for state wide agita- ton upon the subject.
 If you wish to push the cause along. write to the department of educa ton at Montgomery for an informing pam phlet.

UNCLE SAM WILL PAY THE BILL

The Esch-Cummins bill, as is gen
orally known, guarantees the rail
roads against losses. 1t provides that
they shall have profit return of not
| less than six per cent. If there is a
deficit in operating income, the fed
eral treasury will be forced to make
! it good, and over and above all such
payments will be required to give to
the railroads a sum equalling six per
cent Of their property investment ac-
counts, which include nearly eight
billions of dollars of shadow secur-
ities-values that never had any
actual existence.
Taxpayers will soon realize just
what this transportation problem
really means. Congress- generosity
to privilege is going to cost a pretty
penny.
The railroads, during March and
April, lost heavily. They incurred
enormous defcits-sums greatly in
excess of deficits incurred during the
period of federal control.
When the railroads present bill
for all these millions of deficits and
profits, they are going to say that
the railroad strike was responsible
for the enormous losses. The news
papers will carry this story and mil
lions of people will accept it without
question.
But the simple, unalloyed fact is
that there would have been heavy
losses had the strike not happened
From the day the railroads went back
to banker speculator control the
managers started to embargo freight.
On the first day of April, when every
man was working, practically every
railroad in the country had declined
to accept for shipment less than car
load lots of freight. Carload ship
ments Of many commodities had been
interdicted Traffic was slowly but
surely being strangled.
Since freight is the chief source Of
income, it is a natural assumption
that the railroads were deliberately
planning to create "a huge deficit by
curtailing traffic. They were taking
no chances, since the government, un-
der the Esch- Cummins bill, is COM
PEELED to make good every dollar that
is lost through manipulation and bad
management.
1t is said that the strike cost about
a million dollars a day. This may or
may not be true. But the public will
soon learn that the deficit greatly
exceeded this sum. What was lost by
reason Of the strike was scarcely a
drop in the bucket compared with the
losses resulting from embargoes on
freight and the vicious manipulation
for which private management is in
famous.
When the railroads present their
bill to Uncle Sam, the people of this
country will begin to realize the full
enormity of the transportation act.
They will then know, some of them
for the first time, that the govern
ment really has no control Of eX-
penditures, but is held responsible
for every dollar lost from any reason
whatsoever.

THAT PROFITEERING STORY

Gossips have been busy the past
few days circulating all manner of
stories regarding the unlawful profit
eering of certain merchants in New
ark, and instances have been quoted
and names mentioned of parties
caught red-handed by a government
secret service man The Leader has
endeavored to trace these rumors
and learn if there is any foundation
for them. The sheriff, city solicitor
and chief of police deny any knowl-
edge Of the alleged investigation, and
other parties only know what some
other fellow told them. 1t would
seem but just and fair to our
merchants to withhold judgment and
cease passing the story along until
some tangible evidence is produced
as to the truthfulness of the charge

UNIONS AGAIN RECOGNIZED

Mayor Atherton has again given
evidence of his friendly attitude
towards organized labor by appoint
ing a union man to the most respon-
sible office in the city and selecting
John S. Gilcrist as the successor Of
Service Director j. Edward Wilson,
who has so efficiently filled that posi-
ton for the past two years or more.
Mayor Atherton, upon taking the
office after his first election, honored
organized labor in general and Typo
graphical Union No. SO in particular
by appointing Lee S. Pemberton,
also a union printer, as Director Of
Public Safety, and Mr. Pemberton,
by his constant attention to the duties
of the office has brought his depart
ment to such a high state of eff
cheney and perfection that it is
pointed out as criterion and held up
as an example all over Ohio.
The Leader believes Mr.. AthertOn
has made no mistake in again calling
a member Of the Typographical Union
to a position Of trust and honor. Mr..
Gilcrist is a young man of ability
and integrity, well qualified in every
way to continue the excellent work
of his predecessor, and his appoint
ment meets with general approval.
Members of organized labor now
occupy two of the most responsible
and honorable positions in NewarK's
official family, and it is up to them
to so conduct the business of t'ir
departments that no opportunities
for criticism be offered to those ever
watchful enemies of organized labor
who are constantly on the alert to
discover an excuse to condemn and
accuse its members.
In the name Of the union nen Of
Newark the Leader desires to thank
Mayer Ath4 on for the homo he con
1elleJ and to congratulate Mr.. J.
,tst and wish him Gods speed il
his new position.

DROP THE LAWYERS FROM
CONGRESS

There are 260 lawyers in the pres
ent Congress. One member out of
every two is a member of the favored
profession. There are some lawyers
in Congress, but not many, who
should be reelected.
The lawyer represents his clients
at home; as a rule, he represents the
same clients in Congress.
1t cannot be otherwise. After a
man has represented banks, railroads,
monopolies, trusts, and privileges for
twenty years, he cannot turn square
ly around and represent the people.
That is asking too much Of human
nature.
Men are not made that way.
Moreover, these same lawyers are
still practicing law back home. They
do not want to lose the railroads,
banks, monopolies, corporations and
privileged interests as clients when
they go back to private life.
This, too, is too much to expect
Of human nature.
Moreover, lawyers are not the kind
of men to send to Congress. They
are technical; legal. They think of
government as a dead, inanimate, leg
alistic thing. They worship the words
and phrases of men who are long
since dead. They think of this great
nation as ruled by the thoughts of
Coke, Littleton and Alexander Ham
ilton. They measure laws not by
their effect on humanity, but by pure
ly legalistic systems.
The United States should be gov
erned by men who are actually do
ing things; preferably by producers.
1t would be good thing for the
voters if they were honest with them
selves. If we were honest we would
elect Charles M. Schwab to the
United States Senate, the owner of
the Bethlehem Steel Company, in
stead of Philander C. Knox, the at
torney for the United States Steel
Corporation.
New York State would send ]. P.
Morgan to the United States Senate,
rather than the men who represent
] P. Morgan.

VISIT HALLIDAY p; Ant
A Number of Newark Men Visit At
,Ica and Insp.cy Present Factory
Company St&rds High at Home

A party composed of J. M. Nit
chell, DR.. C. l.. Wyeth, Russell Wyeth,
Ed. Hulshizer, A. P. Stone, Sales
Manager and Thos E. Huth, Presi-
dent Of the Halliday Motors Corpora
ton, and E. d. Leach, Manager of
the Chamber of Commerce, drove to
Attica Sunday afternoon for the pur-
pose of inspecting the plant of the
Halliday Company at that place. The
party, with the exception of Mr.
Stone, returned to Newark last
evening.
Mr.. Leach, in speaking of the trip,
said that he was agreeably surprised
to find that the Halliday people had
such a modern and well-equipped
plant at Attica. The building is so
by 200 feet, one-half of it being two
story. 1t is quite modern, of brick
construction, steam heated and is
located on a tract of about four acres.
The building was constructed few
years ago by a concern who proposed
to assemble automobiles, but en-
countered the same difficulty the
Halliday people have found-that it
was impossible to keep skilled labor
in a place as small as Attica Attica
is farming community with less
than 800 population. There is no
place of amusement and nothing for
the employees to do after working
hours except to sit around the hotel.
The plant was shortly abandoned by
the builders and was not occupied
until the Halliday people purchased
it one year ago last October.
The plant is not nearly large
enough, as it contains only about IT,
500 square feet The equipment is
modern and complete. 1t has been
necessary to pile several car loads
of material outside the building, as it
is impossible to take care of the raw
material inside We found IL cars
all completed with the exception of
batteries and about % cars in course
of construction. There was no ques-
tion in the minds of those who visited
the plant that, after seeing the Halla-
day in it's various stages of construc-
ton, but that it is very substantial
car We saw a number of cars con-
structed in IT which are in use in
that section. All of them so far as
we were able to ascertain are giving
excellent satisfaction. MI. Leach
said that he took occasion to talk to
a number of the leading business men
of Attica concerning the Halliday
Company and Mr.. Huth and that he
heard not a word Of criticism of
either the car, the Company or its
President.
Mr.. l.. l.. Sutton, Attica's most sub
stantial representative citizen, who is
president of the only bank in the
place, expressed his regret that it
was impossible for Attica to keep the
Halliday plant, as it had been of
great value to the community the
short time it had been located there.

PUBLIC AWAKENING TO EVILS
OF NEW RAIL ACT

Having completed a months speak
ing tour in Ohio, during which he
addressed large audiences in Thirty
industrial centers, Glenn E. Plumb,
the author of the Plumb Plan, after
his return to national headquarters
of the Plumb Plan League in Wash
ington, said
81 found throughout the entire
state a great public awakening to
the evils of the Cummins-Esch bill
There is a rapidly growing realiza-
ton that this bill is an attempt to
regulate the public in the interests
Of the railroads. That it creates a
special preferred class of citizens,
the owners of railroad securities, to
whom is given a first lien on Ameri-
can prosperity. The people are be-
ginning to understand that the prime
purpose of government is to protect
the citizen in the enjoyment of the
gains for his own interest. 1t is
plainly apparent that the Cummins-
Esch bill does not do this. 1t pro-
tects the railroad stockholders in the
enjoyment of the gains of everybody
else's industry and deprives all other
citizens of the benefit of such en- 10y
ment."
