PROSECUTING DENTISTS

Editor The Star: In the interests
Of the advertising dentists OF this
state I win ask you to publish the
following facts:
The recent arrests OF dentists In
this city Is result of efforts made
by so-caIled ethical men 10 discredit
the advertisers. and ultimately to
force them out OF business. This is
an aftermath Of the all-but-victorious
fight made by the advertisers at
Olympia at the last session OF the
legislature.
The public win be interested TO
know these truths:
So-cailed ethical dentists are hlr-
ing stool pigeons to supply the evil
dence against unlicensed men. The
complaints are coming from dentists
who cannot compete with their adj
vertising opponents - not from the
public.
Under the present law there are a
number Of unlicensed men who are
legally entitled TO licenses.
Nearly all Of the unlicensed men
IN this state are fully competent as
dentists. and Notwithstanding the
fact that we have n state examining
board. these men are denied the
right to even submit themselves for
examination. This Is due to the close
cooperation OF certain frecognized)
dental colleges. These favored schools
absolutely control the output Of dem
lists In the United States. Fitness
or competency OF the applicant is
not considered. BY filming and i'm
prisoning competent dentists. the
spirit Of the law In violated and the
hest interests Of the public are dis.
regarded. The whole matter is an
attempt to limit the number OF den.
lists in this state. so that the fees
may be still further advanced and a
favored few reap the benefit. The
"efhicar men would annihiIate all
competition.
All Of tho unlicensed men are viii.

Recorder Edgar's Busy Week

The following small Court cases were
disposed of by Judge" Edgar during
the past week:
on Arthur Gumbrell last New Years
day. In default of $500 bail Ciscero
was sent to jail.
Louis S~teffaro, petty larceny, netted
the Borough $500 and costs.
GABRIEL opposite, petty larceny, was
fined SIS and costs.
Lewis Parker, apprehended for I'M
becoming conduct in public was sent
to Jail for 80 days.
Mckinley Willis, Harry Leeds and
Thomas Dorsey were each given 30
days in Jail to repent. Eugene Nc
Manus was given so days, so he must
have been worse than the others.
Ella Reign, Eva Giberson and Cath
crime Thompson were held for Court
upon a charge of larceny of goods
valued at 500 from one Charles Ryan.
Florence Triple will await the ac-
ton of the Grand Jury upon a charge
of assault and battery.
Elwood Doran, Frank Baker, Earl
Cline, Paul joker and Charles Biddle
were each assessed the sum of $40 and
costs for disorderly conduct.
James j. Riley parted with $50 and
costs for being very, very disorderly.
You see, it's this way-"Judge" Ed
gar makes the penalty fit the magni-
tude of the crime, and then again, these
healthy fines reach the Borough treas
ury and help keep down the taxes.

New Jersey. Until the adoption of the
present constitution in 1874 all persons
had to own fifty pounds. $3.50 worth of
property. The women who were worth

Horses Dying From Strange Sickness

Horse owners in many part. of
South Jersey are worried over the for
a~ge-poison cases that have doomed UP
in the southern counties, and which has
thus far carried off twenty-eight horses.
A careful examination has ben made
and it has been found there is a germ
absorbed in the food grazed from pas
ture and from hay which has been re-
Gently cut and stored.
Farm Demonstration Wilkinson. of
Atlantic County states that the spread
is becoming alarming and has notified
other adjoining agents to be on the
alert. When an animal becomes in
fected. it becomes blind and staggsrs.
and die. in a few days.
There has been an immense crop of
hay from meadows stored and there is
a feeling that the germ may have got
ten into the hay from upland fields.
Horses are being vaccinated right and
left, and letters nave been sent to
horse owners all along South Jersey
to the effect that i~nnoculation would
be performed without cost to the owner.
1t is said the disease has been found
to be in four counties. From all these
forage, both hay and corn. are being
examined at the State Laboratory, and
it will soon be determined whether it
is safe to use the hay for food. Should
it be decided that either corn or hay
should not be used, it will mean an i'm
mense loss to the farmer.
1t is possible that similar effects may
take hold of cattle. The last visitation
of the malady in Southern New Jersey
was six years ago, and one prior to
that, twelve years.

Continue Prosperity

To the Editor of Penns Grove Record:
In my usual bi-monthly perusal of the
doings and discussions of our City
Fathers, l am glad to discover that
some action is to be taken to systema-
tie the parking of automobiles. Be-
ing an owner of a car" and having
occasion to ride about the nearby
States a good deal. 1 find that Penns
Grove has the least number of cars
of any community of it's size within a
radius of SO miles. One of the first
signs of a thrifty community is it's
banks. and second is the number of
cars parked along it's streets. 1t shows
that the people of the rural districts
are coming into town to make their
purchases, to meet those who keep in
touch with things progressive, to dis
cuss political conditions and keep in
touch with their Chamber of Commerce.
The streets were here before cars,
but not in the condition in which they
are today, but thru the auto tax the
streets have been brought up to a high
standard.
At the beginning of the Wilson ad-
ministration the farmer hauled his pro-
duets TO market with his mules, taking
anywhere from six to twelve hours to
make the trip. Today they shoot it in
to market with swift moving trucks
over we'll kept roads.
Prosperity is in the land and in spite
of a Democratic administration. Let
as continue the Democratic administra-
lion and thus perpetuate a continue
ton of prosperity and the
auto to come into town if they must
park along the streets.
Respectfully.
j.. C. Sullivan.
