plays the part of one of the Court

and satin, and they fit her well; she
has a beautiful figure, her costumes

to accentuate. rather than detract
from her admirable charm.
But in spite of the fact, she fur
nishes practically all the real class
of the show. In addition to this
she has a wonderful voice. sings.
leads numbers and is a very good
dancer.

C. Raymond Lyons. a~ssemhlyman,
is regarded as second choice for the
post, and il it be found impossible
to bring about the coroner's can

Following their meeting this aft

between the freeholders and Repub-

There seems to be no. question
about the choice for freeholder.
Clarence M. Haight and Lewis j..
Belloff announced themselves yester-

American Bar Association
Makes Recommendations
: In This Severe Problem.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10.-Es-
tablishment of a bureau to further
American ideals and to offset a
growing tide Of anti-Americanism
which was declared to be arousing
great prejudice against the courts
and the constitution, was recon-
mended to the American Bar Asso-
citation today by its committee on
American ideals.
I'VE are convinced that if it could
be submitted to a vote" the COM
mittee reported, "a large number Of
our citizens would vote in favor of
abolisaing the constitution entirely"
The report also denounced the
proposal to clothe legislative bodies
with supreme authority.
MANY of our people are convinced
that the constitution was intended
as an aid TO the rich and powerful"
1t said, that it affords u~nwarranted
immunities to the railroads and to
other great corporations and is an
instrument Of oppression to the
poor"
They do not know that the con-
stitutional limitation invoked by the
corporation to protect its property
in time of danger, is exactly the

mer rely to guard their possessions
against wrongful invasion.
They do not know that nc man
Is 30 poor or 80 obscure hat he can
not in the hour of threatened injury
turn to the constitution as his pro-
lection against the wrongful acts of
the rich and socially prominent"
The proposal by a United States
senator that legislative bodies be
clothed with supreme power can
'mean nothing less than the de-
.struction of our written constitu-
tion." the report said.
And by such a proposal the Am
erican people are guaranteed free ,
dom of speech and action only UNI
til some legislative body declares
otherwise"
The committee urged that every |
newspaper and magazine establish a
department of American citizen
ship" and that a course in American
institution and ideals be made part
Of the curriculum, in all schools and
colleges.

POLITICS IN FEDERATION,
JERSEY CITY WOMAN SAYS

According to reports from Jersey
City Mrs. Robert Norton, vice chair
man of the Democratic State Com
mittee, has taken exception to re-
marks made by Mrs. Arthur b.
Pr0al, president of the State Fed
Grafton of Woman's Clubs. in which
.she speaks of coming campaign as
Champaign against lawlessness" and
intimates that the State Federation
should support the candidacy of
Senator Joseph Frelinghuysen for
reelection on his stand for prohi-
bition.
Mrs. Norton, a member of the
State Federation, has issued a reply
alleging that it was unfair to bring
partisan politics into the league.
Mrs. Norton denies that the State
pEgaeratfUYf took an active part in the
prohibition movement as an organi-
cation. saying that the only siren
nous effort was made by the Anti
Saloon League. which now ought,
with the present state of law en-
forcement in the country ito be
thoroughly ashamed of its work.
She considers it wrong to ask the
women to vote for a man who was
zone of the first to break the n
forcement law by drinking that
which is prohibited -.
Mrs. Norton further states that
the prohibition issue is not the only
n Of the coming campaign. She
expresses herself as openly in ia
vor of the election of Governor Ed
wards as state senator from New
Jersey on the strength of his imam
cial ability, because just at this
time we so sorely need men with an
understanding Of finance in Wash
ington.
Mrs: Norton declares that the wo-
men of the state will vote regard
less Of their utilization with any CLUB
or clubs, and will vote for men
trained to meet the precise kind OF
crisis that has come to our country

ANOTHER FIGHT
AT WOODBRIDGE
Public Hearing on Town Hall
Matter Tomorrow Night.
Great Excitement.

WOODBRIDGE. Aug. 10:-An-
other of Woodbridge's town meet
ings" which are rapidly gaining
fame will take place in the high
school tomorrow night when the
township fathers will endeavor to
settle the town hall question that
seems to be creating such a furore
here.
The official site for the structure
Is the Temperance Society lot but
litigation has tied up the matter in
such a way that the building of the
new town hall is delayed. Due to
this delay an agitation for the Sc
lection of a new site has been start
ed and the question will be thresh-
ed out tomorrow night. Residents
of the township are rapidly taking
sides in the controversy and tomor-
row nights event promises to be in
~teresting.
The suggested site is on the park
property, along Hurd's brook, the
advantage lying in the fact hat the
building may be erected there at
once while the temperance society
plot choice will entail delays. With
the town hall reported to be falling
down action seems necessary and
from present indications tomorrow
nights meeting will see plenty of it.

Gives WARMING
Of COMMUNISM
Speaker at Rotary Club Tells
of Radical Movement Among
Workers in America Today.

Grosvenor Dave, former editor OF
The Nations Business and who is
now representing the railroad exec
utives, gave a most impressive talk
before the Perth Amboy Rotary
Club at its weekly luncheon at the
New Packer House yesterday. Owing
to a mixup in regard to trains Mr..
Dave did not arrive until the lunch
con was about over. but the men,
bers stayed for a half hour longer
to hsar Mr.. Dave. and SO impressed
were they with his message that he
has been invited to return in the
near future and finish what he has
to say as his message yesterday was
necessarily cut short.
Mr.. Dave has just completed a
trip covering practically every state
in the Union, making a particular
study of the railroad situation. He
finds a well organized movement to
establish communism in this coun-
try, the agitation and propaganda
being widespread and gaining much
ground. 1t is an effort to destroy
capital, break down private owner
ship and discourage individual in
itiative. He declares that the rail-
roads are the first line of attack.
The idea is to C u government
ownership of the railroads as the
beginning of sovietism here.
Nc attempt was made to go into
the present strike situation. 1t was
the underlying feeling hat prevails
among certain classes of working
men today that Mr.. Dave empha-
sized. He declared that the old
American spirit of working ones
way to the top through perseverance
and determination is being wiped
out. If one cannot look forward to-
ward enjoying the fruits of ones
w efforts in the way of advance
S1ent and attaining a higher STAN
dard of living there is no incentive
for hard work and burning the
midnight OIL" 1t was this incentive
among the youth of former genera
tions that has made America what
it is today.
To prevent a breakdown of this
American standard Mr.. Dave urged
individual responsibility. Let each
person for himself have respect for
and obey the law and there will be
nc contempt. The idea of running
to the government for everything
abhored. There is too much
regulation, the speaker declared.
America prospered most when in
NA' AIN OdSAil1oo WCiO ulICk
tered and permitted to develop
along lines best adapted to suit each
If each man would determine
for himself the right course of liv-
ing such regulations and control as
now have and which is constant
ly increasing would not be neces-
The idea is to restore the old
time American spirit of incentive to
get ahead through pluck and perse-
.verance.

certs. This is a matter that has
been advanced by certain members
