OLD HOME PAPER

The local newspaper has a mission
to inform the citizens on local news
topics, of personal and public matters,
besides it conveys a fiduciary trust
by informing the people on subjects
of legal import to establish equity and
Justice in regards to debts, sales and
settlements of estates, also informing
them as to the standing Of financial
institutions.
In this age a person cannot be the
best citizen unless they are informed
on public matters. One a not de-
eide properly unless they have the in
formation. The old way of visiting
town once q week, sitting on nail
kegs and boxes in the stores and
shops where information was passed
around, is a thing of the past. If
there is to be a sale they look for it
ia the newspaper, which is now
brought to their homes by carriers.
Many who have moved into Penns
Grove and Carneys Point the past six
years have become readers of the
Penns Grove Record. Some have be-
come so attached to it, when they
moved away, have had it sent to their
new home. Yet, there are many who
should become readers of the Record,
the old home paper, which has been
published 43 years, 81 of them by the
present editor.
The old-fashon way a for an edi-
tor to have opinions and publish
them. We hold to the old-fashion
way The editorial news is published
to give information on public affairs.
Most people in these days have open
minds to learn something new, either
to confirm what they believe or what
they do not know. The opinions of
others are welcomed.
1t is the endeavor of the publisher
of the Penns Grove Record to give
all the home news. Our reporters
and correspondents do not get all.
Many items are sent in by those IN
terested. We want every reader to
feel a personal interest in their
home paper and help it by sending
promptly news they would like to see.
By thoughtful observance of what IS
published one will learn what and
how to write.
If you see something in the Record
you like, talk about it to your neigh
Dor. If you do not like it tell your
neighbor all the same. Probably you
will learn the other side by doing so.
Many of this edition will go into
new homes. Read it. Learn about
your own home town, the people and
public affairs you should know. Think
over it. Become a regular reader and
a better informed citizen.

We stopped at the new Penn-Harris
hotel, which is 4 beautiful place
inside. AS it is over stores, one does
not get the worth of it on the outside.
So many of the hotels had the beer
signs over the doors yet, that we
walked awhile before we could get
nerve enough to enter anywhere, but
we made no mistake in this, and the
commercial men p%atronized it we
learned afterward. That is a good
sign. Everything that one could want
was there, eve the pincushion on the
bereau, with buttons, threads and
pins, and not the least, a Gideon
Bible; writing desk with the needfuls.

days.

The French Guarantees
(From the New York Times.)

(From the New York Tlmes.)
General Pershing has been received
in France with warmth and distinc-
ton. When Marshal Foch m to
America he will be acclaimed as per-
haps no foreigner ever has been in
this country. In Paris Ambassador
Herrick has just been speaking of the
~indissoluble friendship between the
United States and France. He went
so far as to say that this country vii!
be ready in the future, if the need
arises, to act" again in behalf of
France as it did in 1917. If his
French hearers had not been polite,
they might have asked him why, then
his country did not ratify the treaty
binding itself to come to the aid Of
France against any possible German
aggression. This is a subject in which
the minds of Frenchmen are batfled
and their hearts sore. 1t is not openly
mentioned on occasion of ceremonial
visits and official interchanges, but 1t
is always there.

League Defeats Dark Diplomacy

Geneva, Oct. 5.-An attempt to IN
troduce secret diplomacy into the
League of Nations was baked in the
assembly today. A resolution had
been offered to amend Article Is,
making it unnecessary to register all
international agreements with the
leagues secretary, but the assembly
after hot debate deferred action upon
the question until 1928.
The fight against the resolution was
led by Lord Robert Cecil, Of Great
Britain.
Article 10 was drawn by eX-Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson and was specl-
fcallv aimed at secret diplomacy. A
determined fight was made against
the article, many of the speakers call
ing it 'too drastic"
The orators, however, praised the
'lofty ideals" which had inspired Mr..
Wilson to insist upon the article IN
question.
The resolution, if it had been adopt
ed. would have amended Article le
to say that it was not necessary TO
register agreements of a technical ma
ture.
Lord Robert Cecil argued that ma
tions might conclude military agree
ments calling them technical The
British delegate suggested that. If
compromise were demanded necessary
it might be arranged to have all in
ternational treaties presented to the
new international court to determine
if they should be registered with the
secretariat.
