CRITICIZING THE JUDGE

The Philadelphia Public Ledger on
Friday, April %, editorially excoriated
a Pennsylvania judge in very thor
ough fashion. The Ledger seems to
take it for granted (as have several
million people in the United States)
that since Bill Hohenzolern exited
simultaneously with the fashion of
hierarchy and tyranny, that it is no
longer crime to tell the truth about
those high in authority. The Ledger
ignores the fact that they are guilty
of "lese Majestic" and we tremble for
them in the fear that they will be held
for comtemp of court. However, the
law may be different in Pennsylvania
from the law in New Jersey.
The editorial follows:
JUDGE BROWN ON THE JOB"
Judge Brown has been working
for his salary, but good many people
think he ought to be working for more
than that.
So he is working for twice as much
but he hasn't got it yet.
Moreover, he is working in the
wrong place. His place is here not in
Harrisburg. He is seeking to add one
to the number of judges on the bench
of his Municipal Court. He is also
trying to have the salaries raised from
$4,000 for the president judge, and
$4,000 for the other judges to $4,000.
In Philadelphia one cannot detect
any rising ground-swell of an over
whelming popular desire to saddle the
taxpayers with the additional burden.
We are all of US ready to hear some
thing about economy. The going is
lot good for those who are out for
share of the peoples money for super
fluities.
1t isn't just the public reluctance
to be mulcted that is involved.
1t is a bad prescedent to set and a
vicious principal when a Philadelphia
Judge becomes a committing lobbyist
in his own behalf.
He can find plenty to do here at
home without carrying earfuls of sob
stuff to Harrisburg.
If he must have the money, let him
delegate someone to present his claim
and not expose the ermine to the
smirch of the smoking car and the leg
islative ante-room."
We congratulate the Ledger on its |
"to speak up in meeting"
And we congratulate the editor on the
forcefulness of his words We wish
him well in his contention for the
voice and rights of the people.

CUBA AND PANAMA


The government of the United
States has decided that Gen. Alfredo
Zayas, candidate of the conservative
popular coalition party, was elected
President of Cuba last November and
that nothing should be done to prevent
the island congress from proclaiming
him President Boaz Long, American
minister to Cuba, communicated this
decision to the Cubans and 1t was ex-
pected they would abide by 1t.
Our government also took further
action in the Panama. Costa Rica dis
pute, letting both those nations I'M
derstand that the refusal of Panama
to accept the White boundary award,
insisted upon by the American govern
ment must not be made the basis for
the renewal of hostilities. Both these
little republics, 1t is understood, are
mobilizing their forces and breathing
fire. Salvador, Honduras and Guate-
mala, comprising the new Central
American union, have assured Costa
RIGA Of their support,

LAMBERTYILLE HIT
BY ELECTION LAW

Lambertville- At the next meeting
Of the City Commissioners there is
to be vexing problem for their at
tention in the consideration of re-
cent revision of the State election
laws. This is an amendment in Chap
ter 324 of the laws of 1920, and was
passed April of this year. Thispro-
vides that no county of the third
class (seventv five thousand and I'M
der) shall have an election district
that exceeds 700 voters.
The second election district (com-
prising all of the second ward from
the north side of Perry St. to the
south side of York ST. has IT'S voters
However, tn first district, covering
all of the first ward from the south
side of Perry st. to the city line on
the SOUTH has only about $50 voters.
1t would seem a simple matter to
take one street from the second dis
trict and add it to the first district,
and thus even up the two districts
to less than 700 each. But the election
laws also provide that an election
district shall not extend over two
wards. And even if this were pos
sible, it woul probably result in there
being too many or too little in the
number of the voters on the street
changed from one district to another.
If another voting district is laid
out it will involve an added expense
to the city of $500. per year. The tax
payers are already paying high
rate, and such a solution would not
appeal to them.
1t seems that the best solution will
be to change both the voting district
and the ward by taking street off
the second district and adding it to
the first. This of course make a lot
of work for the Commissioners, but
if it would not bring more compli-
cheapest solution.

SPEEDY JUSTICE
FOR PHILA. CRIMES

The Philadelphia Public Ledger in
it's Tuesday edition told of a hold
up case that has brought the state
ment of District Attorney Rotan that
SPEEDY justice is the surest and
and quickest way to smash up the
banditry which is threatening to
break out afresh."
The case in question was that of
John Steam and William Cummins
who held up John Hoskins Sunday
They were arrested Immediately af-
ter the holdup, arraigned early Mon
day morning before Magistrate Nc
Cleary, held without bail, and within
half an hour had been indicted by the
Grand Jury. Continuing his remarks,
Mr.. Rotan said, I'VE are going to try
and treat all such cases where the
evidence is so clear in the same man.
ner. IT is THEN UP TO OUR
JUDGES TO DEAL OUT SUFFIC-
TENT SENTENCES when the juries
return true verdicts against such de-
PENDANTS"

GRAFT FROM WORKING MEN

On last Sunday night significant
address was delivered before the "Ac-
tors Fidelity League" at the Henry
Miller Theatre in New York. The
speaker was Governor Henry ]. Allen
of Kansas. His subject was "Ameri-
canism and the Open Shop" Cover
nor Allen described the workings of
the Kansas Court of Industrial Re
lations for the past fourteen months.
In this connection he said that in
eleven other states legislatures are
trying to pass laws providing for
similar tribunals, but that every la
Dor leader in the country was fight
ing it. Yet this tribunal of Governor
Aliens state has been the most sue
cessful for the settlement of labor
troubles in the United States.
Why are the labor leaders fighting
it?" he asked. Because they realize
that if the people see that government
can administer justice in lador dis
putes the members of labor unions
will not need to pay to these hard-fac
ed, soft-handed radicals money that
they have earned in the sweat of their
brows.
"There are $4,000 professional lead
ers of labor in the United States who
are drawing 100000, 900 year out of
the slender pockets of union men. Is it
any wonder that the leaders do not
wish to surrender their positions? l do
not blame Mr.. Gompers for opposing
the Kansas Industrial Relations law.
1t is his business to do so.
"Gompers and his crowd realize that
they must fight the Kansas Court
which stands for justice, because if the
court continues there will no longer be
any market for the tin gods they have
been selling to labor for the last for
ty years"
Governor Allen described the events
arising out Of the miners strike which
led to the adoption of the Kansas In
bustrial Relations law, and said that
after fourteen months of existence
thirty cases had been submitted to the
Court, of which twenty-eight cases
had been decided, the decisions being
accepted as satisfactory to both sides.
In the last two elections, he said
the political issue voted on at the
polls was the industrial relations law
and the ticket in favor of the law won
in every district at both elections.
Governor Allen said many misrepre-
sensations had been made about the
court. He said it did not prevent
man from choosing his own employ
ment and leaving at will, but when he
quit the law prevented him from re-
turning with brickbats and dynamite
to prevent other men from continuing
to work.
The present deplorable labor and
manufacturing conditions can be dir
ectiy traced to these agitators of
whom Governor Allen speaks. Their
policy has not been to create congen-
ial working conditions, nor fair pay
for the men who pay their enormous
wages, but they have striven to con-
tinue discomfort and restlessness on
the part Of working men who were
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1921-04-29

honestly trying to give service for
the pay they received. By keeping up
a spirit of discomfort among the men
represented by these walking dele
gates" (who ride in upholstered pull
mans and expensive motors) are as
sured of the continuation of their
soft jobs. Gompers and his cohorts
have done more to foment radicalism
in America than any other group of
men in the country. And the deplor-
able thing about it is that the honest
working men of the country do not
realize that these grating labor ag-
itators" are only seeking to line hteir
own pockets, and do not care for per-
manent remedies to the laboring con-
ditions, for then they would lose their
jobs.
AS soon as the long suffering A
merican public learns the true pow
er behind the throne in these evils of
labor agitators the sooner the coun-
try will return to normal in product
ion and prosperity.

THE VICTORY MEDAL

As token of appreciation of the
services of men who served it in the
World War, our Government has "a
wadrded oeach of them, The Victory
Medal.
Artictically, it is an exquisite thing
The medal is of bronze. On its OBJ
verse is the bas-relief figure of Wing
ed Vivtory. On its reverse, the shield
of the United States superposed by the
words "THE GREAT WAR FOR CIV
ILIZATION." and flankd by the
names of the allied countries which
united to crush the Boche and to
check Hun "Kultur".
The medal is suspended from a
ribbon of rainbow tints, the blended
colours of the Allies, and across the
ribbon are fastened bronze clasps
each bearing the name of an operation
in which the wearer served.
But the real value of this medal is
in its significance for, by it, man is
marked as one who came forward to
defend America in her hour of peril,
to champion Civilization, and to up
hold the laws of God Almighty.
To its owner, this medal should be
a priceless possession; to his children
and his children's children. it will be
a blessed heritage.
To facilitate the distribution of
these medals to those men entitled
to receive them, the War Department
has opened District Medal Offices
turnout the country. In all large cit
les Philadelphia and Newark are
the nearest to this section.
HOW TO OBeAIN THE MEDAL

IMPROVING HUNTER
DON ROADS

Lambertville, Work is progressing on
the matchmaking of the road from
Larison's Corner, near Ringoes, to-
ward Reaville and Clover Hill, beyond
which it will eventually join the SOM
esset County macadam road extend
ing to Milestone and New Brunswick
and connecting with the Princeton =
Belle Mead Somerville road at
Woods Tavern.
At the present time it is unfit for
travel after rain, because the sub
grade is red shale, and full of ruts and
bumps. The section stoned is still
worse, as only the bottom layer has
been placed, and they are large and
sharp.
Beyond Reaville the dirt road is
good all the way to the Somerset ma
cadam, except Immediately after
rain, and the farms along it are in bet
ter condition, with better painted
buildings, than in any other section
of either Hunterdon or Somerset
Counties, say people who have travel
ed extensively over both, counties this
Spring.
When this road is completed, which
will probably not be until another year
it will cut eight or nine miles off the
trip to Somerville, and afford Sec
ond route to Morristown of about the
same distance as the present one via
Whitehouse.
The Hunterdon County Board of
Freeholders have begun to clean up
the right of way along the macadam
road between this city and Fleming
ton, scraping the sides for a part of
the distance, but making slow progress
in moving the dirt away.
The Tuxedo Trail, which extends
from Buckingham, Pa, via Lambert
vile, Pennington, White House, Far
Hills, Morristown, ETC., to Suffern, N.
Y, is becoming one of the extensively
travelled highways of the State, al
though not part of the state high
way system, and in a trip from this
city to Morristown one meets cars
from a dozen or more states, the dri-
vers of which use this road frequently
because of its splendid scenery.
North of Pennington Junction the
county has force of men at work,
near Darts Mills, but only loads of
less than three tons are permitted to
cross the South Branch of the Raritan
River at that point, heavier vehicles
being detoured over the dirt road
from Pennington Junction to Packers
Island, and thence back to the Tuexedo
Trail at point beyond Barley Sheaf.
This is no route for weak-hearted dri-
vers to take when the road is wet from
rain, however.
Between Whitehouse and Oldwick
more men are at work, but beyond the
Black River bridge, at the Hunterdon
Somerset line is where the really
good job has been done. The Somerset
County authorities have scraped the
sides and dragged them down hard
and smooth, using a large caterpillar
tractor to haul the machines, and it |
has VIRTUALLY doubled the width of |
he roadbed, and made cutters that are
a joy to run in, instead of the usual
hanger. This good condition extends |
to Bedminster, and the road is fairly |
good through this village to the North |
Branch of the Raritan at Far Hills, |
where a detour is made over a tenn
porary bridge, the former sunken con-
,rete structure having been torn up.
from Far Hills to Mine Brook the |
road is wretched rough, but from
Nine Brook to Bernardsville the new,
vide, concrete road is in fine condi-
ion.

There is no crying in the night

There is no lifting song in flight
Like the songs that sweetly start
In the silent spaces of the soul
For which there is no voice.
No finished canvas ere was done
To match the ideals perfect CLEAN
No utter failure half so drear
AS turks within the shaterer dream
That haunts with throbbing heart
ache
Of the thing it might have been.
No cry, no song, but deeper still,
A deeper cry and song is sprung;
No canvased CLEAN, no shattered
dream,
But over it a veil is flung
To hide deeper, sweeter CLEAN,
A deeper, rawer sting!
