tained as honored guests this after
noon by Mayor Leroy Harvey. After
The luncheon at Lenape Park the
Mayor will personally guide them over
Revolutionary battlefelds near his
farm. and will point out to them The
various historical points of interest
Those 1900 lads will have the time
OF their young lives. OF course Mayor
Harvey will enjoy himself also. Every
lover of children would welcome the
opportunity to take huge crowd OF
youngsters and give them an enjoy

Since their earliest moments those
youngsters have heard their fathers
and mothers speak of "the Mayor"
They know that he In the big man who
sits in big office In the big City
Hall, and who Is at the head OF the
City. Now they are to be his guests.

Mayor looks like. In later days some
of these lads may meet many world
famous men, but we venture that
none of them will enjoy the sensation
as much as being with our Mayor to-
day -. We believe that Mayor
Harvey is giving more pleasure to
youthful hearts than he imagines.

COMMENDING MATTER.

Editor Every Evening-For the past
40 years there has been much said
and written about the river front, also
the street market of our city. We are
at last getting a river front, and I
trust through the efforts of Mr. Nc
Ateer, at least one honest politician,
will clean the lawbreakers from our
market, and give the consumer a
chance to have am honest deal.
Why is the politician always favor
ing this class of people? Don't you
think that when the community gets
tired of their trickery, they would vote
them out of office?
