CELEBRATION
JameSburg Italians Have
Elaborate Demonstration
Yesterday

JAMESBURG, Oct. 13-Columbus

ed the music. Leading the line of
march was the juvenile band from
st. Michaers orphange at Hopewell.
The State Home for Boys band also
came in for much applause for their
fine appearance. They were under
the command of Professor William
Baum and a large delegation of
Boy Scouts under the leadership of
Scoutmaster Allen Fowler of the
Home for Boys.
Frank H. Pownall was the chair
man of the program given from the
steps of the st. James hall. Speak
ers from New York City and else
where addressed the large audience.
In the line of march were the Ital-
Ian societies of Jamesburg, children
of the members and a large delega-
ton from the Holy Trinity Polish
Catholic church of Helmetta. One of
the unique displays in the parade
was a miniature fac-simile of the
boat that Columbus used in his voy-
age across the Atlantic ocean. The
festivities were continued in the
evening with a dance held in st.
James hall.

HERMANN HAS
NEW ATTACK
Tells of Carteret Borough
When He Was Mayor
Public Dock is Opposed

CARTERET, Oct. 1S.-Declaring
that he had left the financial state
of affairs of the borough in a con-
dition, second to none in this state
and that the Republicans are squan-
dering money and periodically ac-
cumulate much Indebtedness. former
Mayor Joseph A. Hermann, in an
address before the Young Mems
Democratic Committee at their meet
ing last night, pleaded for a pro-
gressive and economic administra-
ton of towns affairs.
THE affairs of the borough should
continue to be conservative and the
town officials should only follow the
wishes of the citizens and taxpayers
and not burden them with added
taxation" Mr.. Herman said. He
went on to relate how the improve
ments in his sixteen years were ac-
complished adding that the borough
had paid its way as it went along.
""They are now on trial and will
be answerable for everything they
have spent" the speaker said re-
ferring to the present borough gov
eminent. They have to account to
us for what they have done this
year and last" also adding that
promises made by the Republicans
have not been kept. He concluded
his talk with saying that If all the
promises were kept, the factories of
the borough would have to close and
all men would have borough jobs.
William j. Lawlor, candidate for
councilman said that as a candidate
he had no right to attack the pres
ent issues, but in a lengthy talk at
tackled the proposed aquisition of a
dock site and borough hall. He said
that the Republicans are attempting
to do too many things at time.
He said that they should accom-
plish n thing and advocate an
other. He spoke of the eventual in
d~ebtedness if all the improvements,
such as a site, borough hall, park
are carried out.
He also pleaded for obviating the
fumes of the fertilizer plant to in
terest homesee:kers to locate here.
Councilman Joseph c. Child said
that the Democrats have not been
defeated last year but lust had a
setback and that they are on their
way back. He said he did not favor
a dock site or borough hall, but
urged that the people get behind the
project of the Board of Education
for a high school.
Edward j.. Walsh, president of the
Young Mems club and candidate for
the council, also spoke. Elmer
Brown acted as chairman. An in
teresting musical and entertainment
program was enjoyed by a capacity

so for some time past. The evidence
thereof can be found in the legislative
records where authority for the north
to withdraw from its association with
the south has been granted. The north
has not availed itself of that authority
because of the practical difficulty. if
not impossibility, of forming a desir
able political association in some 9TH
er direction. The movement has there
lore been abandoned, in good faith
and on the other hand there is a set
tied, deep and paramount feeling that
Idaho should be kept together and its
great destiny be worked out in com
mon, with its tasks as well as it's op-
portunities fit heritage for its sons

least doubt that similar feeling ac-
tuates the people of the south, and
that manifestations to the contrary
come from thoughtlessness and not
from perversity or intent. But there
should not be such thoughtlessness or
indifference in the seats of authority.

iTALYS NEW PREMIER OUT
LINES SANE POLICY.

Mussolini, the new premier of Italy
and who came into power as the lead
er Of a movement that threatened a
revolution, seems to be a man of very
sane and practical ideas regarding the
powers and purposes of government,
judged by the following brief extract
from a recent address before the ItaI-
ian congress:
I'VE are done with government
railways. government employment
agencies, government insurance.
We leave to the state it's police
powers, to protect honest citizens
from robbers and criminals; we
leave 1t the control of the schools,
to train our coming generations;
we leave it the army, to protect
the territories of the fatherland
inviolate and we leave it the con-
troll of foreign policy"
Evidently Italy is afflicted with So
called statesmen who would extend
he power of government to control
he private affairs of citizens. and thus
destroy all initiative and incentive to
effort. We have a consid-
'rable number of that kind in this
and through the indifference
# the people they have already sue
eeded in foisting government control
nd dictation to an extent that |
renches upon individual rights or de- |
rives the states of their rightful func-
ions. But the people are showing ev-
lence of arousing from their lethargy, /
nd it is hoped that if we can not dis
ense with the present over jealous
by the government. we
an at least make our influence felt
y opposing further encroachments.

HONEST WORK, AMBITION AND
THRIFT STILL WIN.

With all the faults of our govern
ment against which we protest with
all the seeming inequalities which we
endure, with all the demagogic talk
from pretentious politicians, with all
the driveling rot emanating from radi-
cal leaders of labor, the fact remains
that this land of ours is still the land
of opportunity, is still the land where
honest effort is certain OF reward, is
still the land where there is no limit
to the achievement Of ambitious youth
blessed with a sound mind, strong
back and a willingness to work with
sort of young man f. Edison White
was when he took a job a good many
years ago in the slaughter house OF
Armour & Co. in Peoria, ILL., Not a
very inviting job it must be admit
ted, but nevertheless a very necessary
one for a young man to hold who hop
ed to learn all the ms and outs of the
packing business And that was evi-
IDENTIFY the kind of man young White |
was, for it is recorded that after he |
bad made good at the bottom of the
ladder he was rewarded with advance
ment to a clerkship in the office of the
and later was placed in
charge OF one of the departments OF
that great packing concern. Then he
became assistant to the vice president
md finally director of the company.
The other day J. Ogden Armour pres
dent of the company decided to re-
ire, and he was succeeded by }. Ed

ment. It is unfortunate for the west
where the people generally are in sym
patty with his policies and who have
suffered through his inability 70 carry
them out. II is hoped that President
Harding will choose a western man to
fill the vacancy one who is not welded
to fantastic conservation fads, but who
stands alike for practical and intelli-
gent utilization and conservation Of
natural resources.

4 mErAlluRercAL COMPARISON
Engineering and Mining
Journal-Pres

oONA ltSSJ
Two interesting metallurgical de-
lvelopments are to be chronicled to the
credit of the Occur d'Alene region. The
first is the adoption of the all-sliming
all-flotation method in the mill at the
Morning mine owned by the Federal
Mining & Smelling company The or
liginal mill was built about 80 years
ago and has undergone successive
changes with the amplihcation of the
Iold German method of gradual reduc-
ton and experimentation by means
of rolls, jigs and tables. The plant
now is being reconstructed for the
purpose of reducing all the pulp to
slime previous to concentration by
Iflotation la Minerals Separation.
1t is a noteworthy fact that the
Morning mine has been productive for
81 years, or more than the life of one
generation of man.
The other bit of news relates to the
Taunton process. which has been de-
veloped at the Bunker Hill mill. al
Kellogg. by Mr.. Urlyn c. Taunton. an
Afrikander who has invented pro-
cess for treating complex sulphide ore. T
This involves fine grinding, concen- I
tration roasting, teaching and precip-
Itation. The copper and zinc in the
roasted concentrate are dissolved in 4
sulphuric acid, the copper then being
orecipitated by zinc dust while the
zinc is precipitated electrolytically on
aluminium catholics. The residue

URGE EUROPEAN NATIONS TO

The approaching completion of silver

considered, some through independent
action of silver producers in the Unit

others seek the friendly influence of

congress. The most recent effort
through congressional action was pre-
scented a few days ago to the commit
