PROPORTIONAL Idea Killed

Assemblyman LOori's proportional
representation bill" was defeated in
the assembly 80 to %. The bill pro-
vided for a distribution Of the assem-
bly, delegations so that the larger
counties. although electing their as
semblymen at large, would have repre-
sentatiOn. Hudson, for instance, with
u assemblymen, would ordinarily have
sever Democrats and five Republicans
under this measure.
Very little interest was manifested
in the bill, which was given a hearing
by the Committee on Elections. Coun-
selor Linton Satterthwaite of Trenton,
who had more or less to do with
drafting the measure, was the only
person TO speak in its favor, and the
only mes to exhibit any interest in its
becoming a law were Republicans of
Hudson county. who would have bere-
fitted to the extent of representation
in the assembly, despite the Demo
cratic majority in the county.
Assemblyman Appleby termed il a
"craZy bill" and declared that the
United States did not desire that kind
Of government. and New Jersey espe-
cially would not have 1t.

At Joseph Moore school the

sixth grade unit took charge Of the

Whenever a teacher took some
stamps we put the number OF
stamps they took on the chart
When they would pay for the
stamps we would mark paid. The

We sold $40 worth Of seals alto

RISKS SELF TRYING TO

CEASE BEATING HORSE

James Horn. of Brooklyn, N. Y,
at the risk of punishment from a
brutal Italian. recently tried to
stop him from beating horse.
This act, requiring even a finer
type Of bravery than the rescuing
OF a drowning friend, has b cen
widely commented on in young
Horns home city.
Mrs. Annie Gibson Allis says:
Keep on in your good work,
James Horn, and teach friends to
follow your example.
"This summer l have seen hun
dreds of boys who roam the streets
In large gangs in the neighborhood
Of parks, and in almost all cases !
have noticed that their chief amuse-
ment lies in stoning birds and SOUR
rels, catching frogs and twirling
them around with strings tied to
their legs, catching butterflies only
to destroy them, and doing every
other sort of act OF destruction and
cruelty. ..-
I'VE feel sure that the right kind
Of mother has trained James
Horn to be such a splendid excep-
ton to this rule. We may also
feel sure that he will be the right
kind of a man."

THE BLACK MASK
CHAPTER vi

Buck was knocked unconscious,
and later was about to be hanged.
Mary had gotten the ropes that
bound her, off. and was caught by
the man who was to watch her In
the act of hitting him over the head
with a board.
Now, just for that, I'll take a
kiss" said the man with a mean
laugh.
He made a jump for her but Mary
quickly steppen aside.
There was a struggle but the man
being the stronger, soon got what
he wanted.
Mary was filled with rage, and,
seeing that there was nothing in
her way, she ran out Of the cave
with the man chasing her.
The man soon caught up with
Mary but she knocked him down.
Mary ran on and in a little while
she saw the outlaws just riding
away from a hanging figure. She
waited until they had gone away
and then she went to the hanging
figure and cut the rope. OF course,
1t was Buck, and he was almost
dead.
The outlaws had just hung him
there and had riden away.
Mary took him to a stream close
by and gave him water Of which he
slowly drank. Then she dragged
him behind some bushes and sat
down beside him and began to do
all she could for him.
The outlaws on their way to the
cave met the man who was to have
watcher Mary.
what are va doin' here, why
amt va with the gal?" asked the
Black Mask.
Huh, I'd like to see "a keep that
gal in thar" he said. THAT gals
a good bit away from here by this
time" Then he told how Mary
had a gun hid>somewhere and how
she held the gun as well as she
could with her hands tied behind
her and made him unite her hands
and after he had done that, she ran
out Of the cave and he was just
now getting back from the chase.
The Black Mask sneered and
said, "You traitor Now you have
let that gal go! Tomorrow you
will be shot," and he ordered his
men to get him, but he was too
quick for them. He dashed through
brush and shrub and was soon in
the woods.
The Black Mask sent five men
after him, but the man had climbed
a tree and the five OUTLAWS passed
on, without seeing him. He was
not far from Mary and Buck.
I Mary raw him and thought he
was hunting her. She told Buck,
who had recovered. He was not
very strong now, but he walked out
and said, what do you want?"
The man stopped without answer
ing, but all the while he was think
ing to himself, Here's a chance to
get even with the Black Mask" He
did not like to be called a traitor.
