INFLUENCES At WORK To
Save COUNTY MAN CHARGE

TRENTON, June Amy person
who drives a a while under the in
1uence of liquor. regardless of his
prominence in the community, Is
not a fit person to be at large. This
a the statement of Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles William l.. Dill.
when he received information yester-
day to the effect that political in
nuence" had been brought to bear in
the prosecution of DR.. Harold Elan
agan, prominent New Brunswick
dentist, on a charge of driving while
under the influence of liquor.
Prohibition" said the commits
sioner. INSTEAD of proving a bless
ing. is proving a curse"
Because of a misunderstanding be-
tween counsel, hearing of the case
before the commissioner was post
poned until next Wednesday at
Hightstown. 1t was originally set
for yesterday, but because Harry
Heller. of this city, counsel for the
dentist, was of the impression that
il was next week. Mr.. Dill consent
ed to a postponement. More thar
fifteen witnesses appeared here for
the state. and in order not to incon-
venience them to return next week,
ne uCCAutu " IOdi lhO SoSO az
Hightstown.
According to the records in the
motor vehicle department here, DIR.
Flanagan's car turned over while
he was driving through Hightstown
a couple of weeks ago al the rate OF
As miles an hour. The accident hap
pened when the machine struck the
railroad tracks at Main street. His
fiance was injured.
Immediately after the accident.
the defendant was arrested by the
chief of police of Hightstown, and
two physicians declared he was in
toxicated. Aaron Dawes, counsel for
the borough, was supposed to have
prosecuted the case, but Is reported
to have dropped it. At the request
of the Hightstown witnesses, Com
missioner Dill decided to take it up.
According to Commissioner Dill,
undue influence has been brought
to bear in this case. Inspector Par
ker of the Motor Vehicle Department

ASKS PITY FOR
OLD PREACHERS

ATLANTIC CITY, June Ask
ing pity for the poor old preach
err is a frank injustice only sue
ceeds in getting his position that
much more d~espised." Rev. DIR. F. Z.
Smith of Indianapolis, representing
the Disciples of Christ, told the an
nual conference of Interdenomina-
tional Secretaries of Ministerial Re-
lief of Protestant Churches here to-
day.
Time must be taken TO educate
the church as to the Justice and
strategy of the care of her work
ers," he asserted in discussing min
iste-ial pensions.
The business world has long ago
accepted the sound of such
provision. 1t is an awkward circum-
stance that the church whose work
ers have largely brought about such
benefits for the workers in business
should last OF all confer these bene-
fits upon her own.
THE preachers must learn to
speak out, not for themselves as they
mistakenly think, but for their
comrades in service whose work is
done. The preacher while protec-
ting himself. in his modesty. from
foolish criticism, denies the only
voice that can be raised on behalf
of godly men and women who have
spent their all in the ministry.
