PIG FOUND

The loss of a pig was advertised in
last weeks Journal. The animal had
strayed up the beach front as far as
the Ocean Pier, where it was spied
by Alexander Spence, a young colored
man, who happened to be working in
that neighborhood. He hastily pro-
cured a box, made the wanderer a
captive again and then conveyed the
prize to his home on the west side.
He said he "sould hardly wait until
the Journal came out" last week to
ascertain who owned the pig, which
was then promptly returned to III
East Oak avenue. A liberal reward
was given the finder for his trouble
and the Thanksgiving Day dinner,
which was thought to be off for good,
may now once more be planned-barr-
ing any further unlucky mishaps.

were married at the home of the Rev.
DR.. Conwell in Philadelphia at 5.15

fur. She carried orchids and white
rosebuds.
Only the members of the immediate
families and Miss Frances Smith, of
this city, attended the wedding cere-

Prior to the marriage, there was
a wedding dinner at the home of the
bride, 1913 North Broad street, and
after the marriage the young pair took
the 6 o'clock train for New York City,
where they remained for a few days
before going to Boston, their future
home.

summer enjoyed her work at the great
organ there. She also plays the harp.
She met her husband while she was
playing the organ at the Rivoli The
atre in West Philadelphia, where he
was manager. She is an Ocean City

NEW BUILDING FOR FRESH AIR
HOME IN NORTH WILDWOOD

The Camden County Christian en-
deavor Union held a rally in the West
Collingswood Presbyterian Church at
which time campaign plans were pre-
scented for the raising of funds to build
a new Fresh Air Home in Wildwood
for the poor children of Camden. The
present home on Thirteenth avenue
near Delaware avenue is inadequate
to meet the needs of the growing City
of Camden and it is too far from the
beach to do effective work, so through
the generosity of H. H. Ottens a lot on
Surf avenue at Twelfth avenue has
been secured and plans are being
drawn for the erection Of a building
that will accommodate at least so
children. 1t is expected this will be
ready to use next season.

Both sides know that a strike of
this kind fought to a finish will not be
fought without violence. Such a strike
would involve great destruction of life
and of property. 1t would cost the
nation more than the amount the rail-
roads would save in ten years if they
won their strike, and it would cost the
railroads more than they would a
Railroad rates and wages, railroad
control itself, all questions affecting
public welfare the government control
in the international war. The govern
ment has 40 right to stand aside, no
matter where it's sympathies may be,
in an industrial civil war. That is
what it means when two and a half
million organized men declare wal
against twenty thousand million or
ganized dollars.
The emergency and danger are too
great for any discussion as to rights
and wrongs involved. Railroad rates
have been grossly inflated, wages have
been enormously increased. And there
has got to be an adjustment.
Where every individual merchant,
manufacturer and worker are involved,
where the food supply of children may
be cut off and a period of reconstruc-
ton changed suddenly into a period
of panic and anarchy, neither the
owners nor the workers, but THE
PEOPLE of the United States should
decide the issue.
What is suggested is a surgical OPP
Grafton on the nation, an unnecessary
operation, that could be avoided by
common sense. The nation should be
consulted.
Congress is in session, the President
is at Washington and laws are quickly
made. A hundred million people want
peace and railroad service; they
should have both. Two and a half mill
lion railroad workers and a handful
of railroad owners want a fight; they
should be forbidden to have it.
A man must &c to court before he
can take his neighbours dog or wagon.
Owners and workmen alike should be
compelled to go to court before TAX
ing from the people the railroads that
the people with their money and pa
tronage have constructed.
There shouldn't be any bullying of
workers by officials sympathizing with
corporations or any coercing, by ig-
noring legal rights, of corporations to
please workmen.
The question that affects the welfare
of a hundred million human beings
should be settled by judges appointed
by them, through their lawmakers at
Washington.

AUTHORITATIVE OPINION

MOT that we have ever doubt
~ ed our measure of "The Isle
of Vision" as a residence dis
trict, but to be treasured by
such an authority as DR.. Cowden
Laughlin is indeed gratifying.
DR.. Laughlin was born and rear
ed in the Buckeye state. He is
a gentleman of erudition and ex-
perience, Has been an instruct
or in the University of Mime
sofa for some time, and has
roamed over the world in quest
of first hand information. He call
ed at our Office this week and we
knew from the grasp of his
hand and the steady expression
of his eye that he was telling
us the thought of his heart when
he assured us that to him there
is no residence spot ON earth
equal to Vashon-Maury island.
DR.. Laughlin owns a beautiful
modern residence near Center
and spends his summers resting,
reading, and drinking in the
rustic charms of the island. He
has caught the modern thought
and philosophy that life does
not consist alone in accumulat-
ing material things-but in feed
ing, cultivating, and enriching
the mind from day to day. Meet
ing such a man is like a breath
of air from Puget Sound-it in
spires, exhilarates, and makes
the blood leap within the veins
with rapture and delight. Add
his name to the list of those who
love our isle.

the realization of the dream Of
many for a paved highway.
True we are going to pay lot
Of money for this improvement.
Maybe it could have been done
this fall for less money than we
are going to pay. Maybe we
could have gone along for a few
years with the road surfaced with
gravel, only. Maybe a hundred
and one other things could be
thought Of, that are true But
it is an accomplished fact that
there is a finely paved highway
now from Center to the North

be opened to the public ON the

10Th of August 1921 il will be

walk over it in newly polished
shoes without worry of mud Or
dust. Lovers will march hand
INLAND over its surface telling
the old story of present devo-
ton, and planning their castles
which now exist in Spain. Trucks
will bear their loads of freight
to and from the island. Cadil-
lacs and Fords, alike will SPIN
up and down its grades, and
circle the turns with grace and
satisfaction. Over it will turn
the wheels Of hearse and we'd

and patriotic orders will march
in phalanx. Mothers will wheel
their cabs and carts over its
smooth surface, cooling alike the
voice of love to their offspring.
Yes, the highway is finished
it is now for the people Of the
island to properly celebrate its
formal opening with joy and
gladness of heart, after which it
will be for young and old, rich
and poor, known aud unknown,

inclination leads = remembering

demning is not the bill, but the
cause that made the bill neces-
sary.
1t is bewildering to think
what half a billion dollars would
do. 1t would buy very man,
woman, and child i'll the U. S.
enough footwear to last year.
1t would buy every family in

for a month, 1t would buy for
every family in the U. S. bible,
dictionary, a set of Whitcomb
Rileys poems and leave enough
over to furnish Christmas candy
for the entire children of the U.
S. A. 1t would buy a ten acre
farm for five hundred thousand
poor families, it would endow
two or three hundred colleges,
it would pay the college ex-
penses of three or four hundred
thousand poor young men, or it
would buy -four for a year for
100 states like Washington! And
this appropriation under the
Sweet bill is but a mere drop in
the bucket. 1t is like a fly on
the ocean when you compare the
war expense of this country and
then make it world wide. 1T is
TIME TO TRY SOMETHING
ELSE.
The proposed disarmament
conference, fought through con-
gress by Senator Borah, should
not be a perfunctory affair. 1t
should not be like the opening
of a baseball game, or the meet
ing of a board of bank directors.
1t should recognize the fact that
God is in the world, that men
are all human and selfish, that
nations are made up Of men,
and that the far-seeing eye Of
Mr.. Wilson was not bedimmned
when he beheld a condition that
would make a nation 'too proud
to fight. y Don't sheer, and talk
of white-livered pacifsts, and
pro German propaganda, and
bolsheyism-this is none of it
but the conviction of a soul that
thinks arbitration is superior to
armament, and the conscience
of the world is superior to brute
instinct. Let US back with all
our might the gathering of the
representatives from the differ
ent nations, and make the seven
years now ending, the last epoch
