IN HONOR OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

This is Ben Franklin's birthday. The great American
philosopher and patriot was born in Boston, January ~
1905. It was in 1922, just 200 years ago, that Ben FRANKLIN
first became an editor and he is still recognized as the couh-
trys most famous printer publisher author.
Franklin was famous in so many different ways that it
is hard to single out any one thing that made him great Ills
memory, however, is perpetuated probably more by te
SAVINGS of Poor Richard" than any other one thlhS WIN
which the name of Franklin is associated
Now "Poor Richard is recognized as Americas patron
saint of thrift, and it is thrift that the world needs today,
perhaps more than any other one thing. Thrift means saw
ing and wise spending. Only by such means can we ever
recoup from the great war that we have just passed through.
Today, therefore, on the anniversary OF the brth OF behJa"
min Franklin, we might well pay homage TO our patron
saint of thrift and profit by his wise sayings and sound adj
vice.
An over the country a campaign for thrift has been in
n,ourated. This is known as thrift week. and special effort
is being made everywhere to start people saving. In Perth
Amboy a thrift campaign has been going on Tor a month or
more. This week the movement becomes latlon-Wlde ana
,eople everywhere are being brought to realize the value
of saving. Banks are making a special effort to get ne"
savings accounts; persons who have seldom been III banks
before are getting acquainted with them. Ihey are nndlng
out that these financial institutions are their friends; they
realize that the banks are being conducted to help and serve
the man of small means as well as the big business men
and the corporations.
1t was not so many years ago tina: the average person
entered a banking house with a certain awe and strangeness.
uodav This feeling is being rapidly dspelled. With the
Christmas clubs and the savings departments, thousands
or persons of small means are dealing with banks. An ac-
count can be opened with one dollar and even though It
might mean a sacrifice to put away one dollar at The present
time, it would be well worth while making the sacrifice. The
dollar is always where it can be had when absolutely needed,
and if it is in the bank it is an incentive to put more with
it. even though the amount is only twenty-five cents occa-
gionally. There is a certain feeling Of safety and security
when one has a bank account, no matter how small 1T may
he. 1t as least forms an association with an institution thai
can be depended upon as a friend.
Therefore, today, in memory of Benjamin Franklin,
one of the greatest Americans who ever lived, let us honor
him by following his good example i'll the way OF thrift. 1t
is the one big thing to do at this time.

an IMPOSSIBLE PROSECUTOR

Governor Edwards has once more shown his incapaclty.
as governor of the state of New Jersey by naming James r.
Nlloent. the Newark Democratic boss and the bootleS8ers
inspirations, for the position of prosecutor of ESSEX county
This is something that concerns more than Essex county,
il is of vital importance to the whole state. 10 have a man
like Nugent as prosecutor in any county would be a disgrace
TO every respectable citizen.
Senator Parry, of Essex county, has declared that he
will oppose the confirmation of Nugent as prosecutor. As
The governors nomination has TO be confirmed by the senate
and as it is ar unwritten rule of that body to refuse to con-
firm the nomination of any man who is Objectionable to the
senator representing the county from which the man comes,
there is reason for hoping that Nugent will never realize his
ambition. The people of New Jersey look to the senate to
spare the state this fresh outrage.
AS the Newark Evening News remarked last night in
discussing the possibility of Nugents name being presented
hy the governor, Nugent before becoming prosecutor would
be compelled to take the oath to enforce the laws of the
State. This would commit him to do all in his power to en-
force The Van Ness act, which Nugent has bitterly denounced
and which he is seeking TO have repealed. Nugent would
either have to violate this oath or else ALLEVIATE hNlself
from his party which is approaching one Of the most siren
nous campaigns in its history, as far as New Jersey is con-
rerned. with booze as its principal issue. We cannot con-"
ceive> of Nugent breaking with his party on this principal.
What. then, would become of his duty to the state as prose-
cutor?
But, as the Newark News goes on to saXs 'lhe princi-
pal reason why Essex county cannot afford to have him
Nugentl as prosecutor is that his elevation to the job would
be accepted by the most dangerous class of b%ootieggers as
notice that they would be given a free hand in the pursuit
81 their traffic This is a danger not only to Essex county,
but to the whole state and TO society in general.
Nothing could be more demoralizing than to have this
appointment go through. That the governor would stoop to
make such an appointment is not surprising Judging from
his past record in office, but it is inconceivable that the
senate, with its Republican majority and over the objection
IL the Republican senator from Essex county should also get
down to The governors level by sharing with him the infamy
# slcIl an appointment.
