BEAT COLUMBUS 500 YEARS
Vikings Were First Settlers In
America


To p~erpetuate the memory of the
early Scandinavian settlers in
America a heroic bronze statue of
Thorfinn Karlsefin, founder of the
first settlement of white men in fne
new world, was dedicated Novembe~
81, 1920, on the East River Drive,
just above the Sedgely Club House,
Philadelphia.
The statue is the first of a series of
18 which will be erected at intervals
of 100 feet along the drive to COM
memorate various nationalities of
Europe which now form the popula-
ton of this country. Funds for the
erection of the statues were left by
the late Mrs. Ellen Phillips Samuel.
The ceremonies were held under
the auspices of the Commissioner of
Paramount Park and the Paramount
Park Art Association. The statue
was presented to the city by j. Bun
ford Samuel, husband of the donor.
In accepting the gift on the part of
the Park, Commission and the city,
Charles J. Cohen, president of the
Paramount Park Art Association, paid
a glowing tribute to the little band of
Icelanders who, left by K~arlsefin, at
tempted in the year 1902 to found a
permanent settlement on the bleak
coast of Nova Scotia.
Tribute To The Vikings
Henry Goddard Leach, of New
York, secretary of the American
Scandinavian Foundation, was the
principal speaker. at is fitting that
in Philadelphia, with its strong Scan
dinavian associations, there should be
erected the statue of the intrepid Ice
lander who 500 years before Column
bus made a vain attempt to establish
a permanent outpost of civilization in
the Vineland of Sagas."
The statue is the work of Einar
Johnson, a well-known Icelandic
sculptor. The bronze figure is that of
a tall Viking, clad in chainmail and
leaning on a battle-aX. According to
the Icelandic records Karlsefin, who
married Gudrif, sister of Left Erics-
son, the first white man to set foot on
American soil, led an expedition to
this country in the year 1902. He was
accompanied by his wife and the ex-
petition consisted of three small gal
leys and some 100 men and women.
The colony he founded was reduced
by Indian raids and starvation and
at the end of three years the survi-
vors returned to Iceland.
Another speaker at the dedication
was Professor Halder Hermannson, of
Cornell University. About 300 mem
bers of the Swedish Foundation of Phil
adelphia and their guests attended the
ceremonies. At the conclusion of the
ceremonies a reception was held in
the Sedgley clubhouse.

About FOOlscap Paper

When King Charles L. was pressed
for funds he took over a number of
privileges that were not the kings by
right. Among them was the manu-
facture of paper. He ordered every
sheet to bear the royal arms in its
water marking. When the rump par
Lament came into power under
Cromwell it did everything possible to
belittle the king.
Among other thinGs it ordered that
all sheets cf paper made in the coun-
try should bear a FOOLS cap and oai's
in place of the royal arms. The
paper used in the proceedings of the
government was of the same size as
that known today as foolscap, and 1t
retained the title after the title died
out.-Paper Trade.

Gloucester County Fares Right Well

Senator Edward L. Sturgess an
nounces his Gloucester County ap-
pointments for the coming session of
the Legislature as follows: w. Rus
sell Sturgess, of Glassboro, assistant
supervisor of bills; William Ritten-
house, West D%eptford, committee
clerk; Joseph Holtzhauser, Mullica
Hill, page. Because the House is so
overwhelmingly Republican, Assem-
blyman H. NJ. FODDER did not get
much patronage, and his assignment
of assistant journal clerk has again
been given to w. H. Duffield, of
Woodbury.. William H. Albright,
secretary of the Senate, from Wood
bury, was reelected for his fourth
term. Gloucester County also got
the Senate chaplain in Rev. De
Witt C. Cobb, of Glassboro.
Gloucester County gets more
patronage from the Legislature than
they deserve. Salem should have
more.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF TINKERING
Salem County Needs Protection On
Muskrats


America was founded upon the idea
of the individuals initiative and capa-
bility to think and do things. In the
old world the people were raised from
time immemorial to depend on a feudal
lord, king or monarch to send down
word what to do in business and state
craft, also in religion to be told what
to do by the holy fathers. The right
to rise on individual initiative was
restricted. America went soaring on
the financial airplane when European
needs were supplied in the distress of
war. Now that the needs on which
we scared have been removed in u
distress of falling prices all are look
ing to our political fathers at Washing
ton for Protection We need a "Pro-
tective Tariff" downy quilt to fall
upon.
Our political fathers at Washington
have sent out word that there will be
a hearing on what tariff those inter-
ested need. The corn and wheat grow
ers in the west who have more auto
mobiles per capita than any other
section want to keep up the price of
grain. The cotton growers in the
south want to keep up the price of cot
ton. They do not consider that cheap
corn makes cheaper flakes on the
table and cheaper wheat means
cheaper bread. Cheaper cotton and
wool means cheaper clothing.
But the producers do not consider
the consumer, and there are those who
wish special favors regardless of cost
or economic laws.
In a recent discussion Congressman
Kahn, of California said: "No lemons
grow in my district. l want a tariff
on lemons" On it went.
We give this as a sample of the sill
mess of some of our politicians
who are looked up to as wise political
fathers. Here is our similar claim for
a tariff.
Salem County, New Jersey, needs
protection on muskrats. Why? Last
year muskrat hides sold from 81 to
$3.50 and this year from 35 to 40 cents
only.
When the muskrat carcass gets in
city markets it is marsh hare. Few
people eat them, notwithstanding they
are one of the ~cleanest animals. They
wash all food before eating and live
in water.
When the muskrat hides get to the
furrier they are Hudson sables, and
is in rich array when wearing
Hudson sables.
William Mckinley, president in 1897
1901, said: ga cheap coat makes a
cheap man." AS he was authority on
the tariff, as well as on money, especi-
ally the gold standard which made
dear dollars and cheap men in his
time, we would remind u political
at Washington, now that
women vote, that "a cheap coat makes
a cheap woman"
Salem County, N. j., needs a high
tariff on furs sc that our cheap musk
rat hides will be kept high in price to
Hudson sables.
1t will never do to make women
cheap by wearing cheap rat hide for
coats.
We feel sure that our Congressman,
Frank F. Patterson, will see that our
muskrats are protected by a tariff and
our women kept in the esteem of be-
ing the dearest dears.

WOMEN TO GOVERN LEGISLA-
TORS
If You Need More Laws Join The
WOmen's Rulers

. ~
The New Jersey Legislature met
on Tuesday to make more laws. AS
the Republicans have a majority of
9 in the Senate and So in the House
of Assembly, where there is IN lone
Democrat, they IA have a merry
time to themselves.
Themselves! Not much. The time
was when men could be trusted to go
to Trenton and the women cared for
the things at home, but they now
have Governors to watch them. Last
winter one Governor, Edward l. Ed
wards, kept the Legislators on the
jump all the year.
But things are different now. The
women will not only go to Trenton to
watch the men, not leaving it entirely
for Trenton women to sit in the gal
leries and relieve their minds from
hard thoughts on dry laws as has
been done in the past, but "The
Board of Governors will be on hand.
This is the message received from
them:
THE newly elected Board of Gov
ernors of the New Jersey Women's
Republican Club held its first meet
ing in Trenton on Tuesday at 1890
o'clock in the rooms of the Contem-
porary Club. Plans will be made and
programs arranged for the series of
Legislative forums which are to be
conducted under the auspices of the
Club every Monday afternoon for six
weeks beginning January oath. These
forums will be held in the auditor
ium Of the Mercer County Republican
Club, 139 East Hanover Street, Tren-
ton, and will be open to all members
of the Club and invited guests. Mem
bers of the Legislature and prominent
men and women actively interested in
the State problems to be discussed
will speak at these forums and they
will afford an opportunity for the Res
publican women of New Jersey to be-
come informed at fst-hand as to pro
posed changes in the laws of the
State"
Now you see who will be the Gov
ernors of the Legislators this year
Between Governor Edwards and the
Women Governors there should be
live news from the Legislature this
winter.
