tempt of court imposed on Craig, con-
troller of New York City, by Federal
Judge Mayer.
Few documents in the history of the
Government have over pilloried ar in
dividual or his actions as did Daugh-
erty's brief in the Craig case, officials
declared.
Gives Two Reasons
The attorney general in effect told
President Coolidge Craig's sentence
should be RENTED because:
l. New York City finances might
suffer if Craig were compelled TO give
up their active supervision for sixty
days to serve his sentence.
2. Craig "conceivably would be
more disappointed and punished by
not being required to go to jail than
he would be by serving his sentence"
since he would seem to prefer to pose
az a martyr"
Craig" the attorney general said
deliberately and stubborn1y con-
trived technicalities which Craig
knew WOulu pTecIuue proper con-
sideration of his case on it's merits
alone, and his motive apparently was
to interfere with the course Of JUS
tice.
He had contempt on one lip and
falsehool on the other, and had earned
the condemnation of all who were
cognizant of the facts in the case"
Daugherty disclosed that Judge
Mayer, who sentenced Craig, opposed
any executive clemency which would
tend to condone Craig's conduct.

FOR COUNTY PARK

More and more the desirability of
the county holding on to the Menlo
Park tract for future development
Is manifested. When we read that
the Union County Park Commission
has just had an award of SIT, 800
put on a tract of land which It de-
sired as q part of the Union county
park system, and that other tracts
are being bought for the same pur-
pose, 1t is not hard to visualize the
time when Middlesex will be seeking
land for a county park system of its
own. There isn't a finer tract in the
county for park purposes than the
tract the county already owns at
Menlo Park. It's value to the county
will increase as time goes on.

gents knew that they had the ad-
vantage and they were determined
to make the most of itx
Having come off with flying colors
in this first scrimmage, It is hardly
likely that the insurgents will be sat

that way. The regulars, having given

merely stored up trouble for them
selves and sooner or later the show
down that was called for in the

Health Talks
THE g PERIOD

You will remember that the three
great days in a mans life are the
day he is born, the day he is mar
ried and the day he dies. Days
sometimes don't mean much, but
life periods are of great importance
and must be very clearly understood
If the coming generation is to share
in life's growing span.
The better babies movement, chill
dren's welfare league and plans of
the United States Health Bureau to
combat children's and contagious
diseases are waves in this onward
movement.
The first period, which covers the
time of growth from birth up to
and including the eighth year, is
usually more carefully attended to
by parents and welfare associations
than is the second.
This second period is in many re-
spects the most important in the
life of the whole race. 1t covers
the years from the ninth to the six
teenth inclusive. During it's reigr
the chief increase in height and
weight occurs. The muscles become
real factors and shape themselves
for life's work under proper stimu'
lus. The co-ordinating movements
rapidly advance in power and dex-
terity.
Neglect of diet, improper use o.
the eyes, or lack of proper exercise
put a great barrier in the develop
ment of both cultural and physica.
powers which later years can never
fully make up.
The maturity side of this period
must be carefully borne in mind b,
parents. The change in life's
processes occurs during the latter
part of this period. Wise counse
must be given both boys and girls
Parents should keep in clos,

the neighborhood OF which Stane
had gozed SO often and hopelessly
during the last three hours. A dog
train had broken from the wood,

descent towards the lake. AS they
did so both glanced at the direction
of the sled they were pursuing. 1t

close in shore, having evidently
sought the level surface of the lake
for easier travelling. Bernard looked

Without another word he stepped
ahead, and began to make the trail
for the dogs, whilst Stane took the

quarry, since the lakes surface Of

Stane at the gee-pole wondered how
long he could keep 1t up, and from

of snow. Presently the trapper
stopped to rest, and Stane himself
moved ahead.

the wind was rising steadily, blowing
straight in their teeth and adding
greatly to their labors, the snow

slowly, creeping forward yard by

apparently unaware. of their pur-
suit. Then they struck the trail
made by their quarry and the work
became less arduous and the pace
quickened.
A mile and three-quarters now
separated the two teams, and as
they followed in the trail that the
others had to make, their confidence
seemed justified. But nature and
mar alike were to take a hand and

WATER SUPPLY

As the facts concerning the pri-
vate water companies come out, the
, people are inclined to wonder why
they have put up with them so long,
pouring into the pockets of the
stockholders millions of dollars with
out anything like an adequate re-
turn. Perth Amboy does not have
to worry on this account because the
city was wise enough yo rs ago to
take over its water supply from the
company then furnishing the water
to this city. But 1t is directly con-
cerned in the general question of
water supply in this state as was
so clearly shown by W. J. Buttfield
in his address before the Lions Club
of this city yesterday.
Mr.. Buttfleld who has made an
exhaustive study of the potable
water problem, is in accord with
Governor Silzer who recently out
lined a state policy for taking carr
OF the states potable water supply.
Mr.. Buttheld's idea is that while
each city that has already developed
its water supply would have first
consideration when that water was
being Drawn upon, In the case of a
surplus the water would be distrib-
uted to other municipalities hat
were not SO well provided for, and
the distribution would be under the
Jurisdiction of the state, instead of
being sold by one municipality to
another.
1t was shown that by constructing
a filtration plant here to remove
the natural acids from the water
Perth Amboy could easily market all
lts surplus at a considerable profit
to the municipality. This is not
saying that Perth Amboy water is
not pure and wholesome for drink
ing purposes, but 1t has to be
treated before certain kinds of in
dustries find it satisfactory for their
purpose. Perth Amboy has a well
developed plan for a filtration plant
which is likely to be put through as
soon as the city feels financially
able to handle the proposition.
In the meantime, Governor Sill
zer's plan for state ownership of al
potable water will receive more and
more attention. He is almost GER
tain to make the matter I'M of the
m ost important features of his mes
sage to the next legislature. The
problem must be solved very soon,
and unless someone forward
with an idea better than the n
the governor has offered. steps will
have to be taken to put his plan
into operation.

MAJORITY INUNDATED

1t must have been rather humili-
ating for Representative Longworth,
the chosen leader of the majority In
the House, to stand up before his
colleagues On Wednesday and eat
crow. A little handful of insurgents
had been holding up the organiza-
ton of the House until certain de-
mands which they had made OF
the majority has been granted. The
majority had declared that there
would be no compromise and no
surrender.
After balloting for two days In
truitless effort to select a speaker
the heads of the two factions got
together and patched up a truce.
The insurgents conferred their de-
mands on a chance to amend the
rules of the House. They asked
only that the members be given a
chance to vote on a revision, and
IL the vote was against change they
would abide by the decision. The
idea Is that the House proceed to
| operate under the rules of the pre-
vious session for thirty days during
| which time an opportunity to offer
amendments will be given. The In
surgents believe that such amend
ments as they propose will be
adopted by the House by an over
whelming majority.
The regular Republicans under the
leadership OF Congressman Long
worth finally agreed to this condi-
ton w%hereupon the insurgents
promised to vote for Representative
Gillett for speaker thereby permit
ting the House to organize and get
! down to business.
But 1t wasn't enough hat Long
worth should agree to the terms as
dictated by the insurgents in private
! conference. Prior to the election on
wednesday and after it had been
announced that the members were
ready to proceed with the organiza-
ton of the House, Representative
Nelson. the leader of the insurgents,
read a statement setting forth his
Interpretation OF the agreement
which had been reached regarding
the fight over the rules. He there
upon called upon Mr.. Longworth to
publicly affirm the terms before he
would permit the seventeen mem
bers who form the insurgent group
and who hold the balance Of power
in the House, to vote for Gillett
for speaker.
It was then that the majority
leader swallowed his pride. and
