FIGHT FOR JOB
At ROOSEVELT
Battle Between Phillips and
ChiIds Goes to the Su-
preme Court
On quo warranto proceedings il

On quo warranto proceedings in
the Supreme Court began By
Charles A. Phillips. Republican cam
didate for councilman in the bor-
ough of Roosevelt, who lost out to
Joseph c. Childs, Democrat. in the
recount held some months ;go.
Childs has to answer to the state by
what warrant he claims to hold, use,
execute and enjoy the Office of mem-
Der of the borough council and the
liberties, privileges, franchises,
rights and emoluments thereof. The
information was filed by j. H. Thay-
er Martin of Woodbridge, attorney
for Phillips on May IT, and Child's
answer was filed this week through
his attorney. David T. Wilentz.
The information filed by Phillips
contains eighteen paragraphs, many
of these going into details concern
ing the number of votes cast, and
counted in both the election and in
the recount. Paragraph twelve. de-
clares that before the County Board
of Elections opened the ballot boxes
some person or persons, unknown
to Phillips, secured access to the
ballot boxes for third election dis
tTlCI anu lOOh
and destroyed at least ten ballots
which had been voted for him and
Wesley o. Hall, and marked for
Childs and other candidates a like
number of ballots taken from the
unused ballots for the district. These
persons, also it is alleged in the in
formation, marked or defaced five
or more genuine ballots which had
been voted for Phillips who is
named as Relator, in order to make
the ballots appear on recount to be
void ballots.
The relator AYERS that Chiids has
unlawfully used, held and execut-
ed the Office of councilman without
any legal election, warrant or au-
thorization to the exclusion of Phil
lips. in contempt of the state of New
Jersey and TO its great damage and
prejudice, against its sovereignty and
dignity.
In answer to the information.
Childs denies many of the para
graphs as set forth by the relator,
and declares that he was a duly
qualified candidate for the office OF
councilman, and that a certificate
was given by Justice James j. Ber-
gen. as a result of the recount in his
favor and that the certificate has
not been modified or reversed in any
manner. He holds that the relator
herein is prosecuting his cause with
out good reason, cause or excuse,
without good faith, and without the
permission of the attorney general OF
the state or of the supreme court, TO
prosecute the suit, which permission
first had to be obtained.

Mothers sympathy-2.

To make a youngster feel that work
/ is curse, that poverty is mis-
fortune, that he is degraded by be-
ginning at the bottom of the ladder
instead of at the top, and that fate
has served him a scurvy trick by not
putting him into the idle rich class,
is to foredoom to failure. Yet that is
the kind of blight that unnumbered
mothers are wishing on their children
by their maudlin pity.
We have been in the way OF glori-
Tying mothers sympathy that never
failed, and that was always ready to
kiss the hurt place, and make it well,
but in reality mothers sympathy has
done far more evil that it has done
good. It is responsible for nine
tenths of the failures, and slackerS,
and divorces in the world.
For it isn't sympathy we need when
We come to the hard shedding in life.
What We need then is a brace. We
don't need somebody to cry over us.
We need somebody to stiffen up our
backbone. We don't need someone
who will mingle their tears with ours,
and mako US sorrier than ever for
ourselves. We need someone who will
give US the strength and the grit to
fight out Of our difficulties.
The mother who really helps her
how cruel it is that they have to work
instead of being loafers and spend
ers- It is the mother who tells them
how lucky they are to have a good
job. and who keeps their interest and
enthusiasm aroused, and who is a spur
in the side OF their ambition. She
doesn't weep over them because she
can't give them automobiles, and dia-
monds, and trips to Europe. 'If you
haven't got what you want" she says
to them, "go get 1t. There's nothing
that a man and woman with brains
and Industry can't achieve in this
country"
The woman who helps her children
doesn't salt them down in her tears
because they haven't got what some
waste their time and spoil their dis
positions by filling them with envious
longings- She holds before them the
men and women who are famous and
rich, the headliners in our country to-
day, and she tells them that these
men and women were, almost every
one OF them. bora poor and obscure.
that they had to fight FOR every bit
OF education that they got, and to
make their own opportunities. She
makes her children feel that what
others have done they can do, and
that poverty that forces people to
make the most Of themselves is often
er blessing to the young than a
misfortune.
And it is mothers sympathy that Is
first aid to divorce. It is because
many a girl knows that she can run
home to mother and be wept over and
piued as poor, prosecuted martyr
that she turns gutter when she finds
out that marriage means duty and
sacrifice.
Mothers sympathy is a virtue that
leans to vices side. 1t Is because
women weep over their children SO
much, that they have to weep for
them SO often.

The latest adjusted compensation
plan would have the government is
sue certificates on which the soldiers
might or might nos be able to borrow
money. In discussing this plan, Ar
thur Brisbane. Mr.. Hearsts editor.
writes;
You know what happened when the
people at large were trying to borrow
money on government bonds. They
found themselves getting per cent
on their bonds, and paying 6 per cent
for the loans. Then they found the
bonds dropped from par down to S4
or lower. What the soldiers want Is
compensation. not a chance to be
skinned by money lenders.
When the government issues GER
tificstes to soldiers. 80 will pay inter-
est on the certificates The Soldiers
will take their certificates to the
bank and borrow, paying what inter
est the bank thinks wise to charge.
Bankers will take the certificates to
the federal reserve bank and borrow
federal reserve currency on them.
Why not give federal reserve cur
rency direct TO, the soldiers and let
them get 100 cents on the dollar with
out any borrowing?
Is it initiation" to pay your cur
rency direct to the soldier. and wise
conservatism when you hand it out

make a profit and compelling taxpay-
ers to dig up interest?
