VETERANS BECOME PRINTERS
AND PRESSMEN

One of the first definite co-opera-
tive moves made in this district
toward obtaining certain and secure
employment for disabled veterans
who have been trained as pressmen
and feeders by the United States
Veterans Bureau, materialized last
week with the signing of an agre-
ment by Isaac II. Blanchard of the
New York Employing Prinerss"As-
ISOLATION; Philip Umstadter, presi-
dent of the Printers and Pressmen' S
Union, No. 81; John E. Taylor, presi-
dent of the Job pressmen and As
sistant's Union, No. /; Charles Kohn,
PRESIDENT of the Pressmen's Assist
ants Union, No. 90, and F. A. Sill
cox, director of the Bureau of In
dustrial Relations.
Under the terms of the agreement
plan has been worked out where
by disabled war veterans trained
by the United States Veterans Bur-
eau and fitted for work in the print
er's trades, are to be taken into
printers shops and press rooms and
given a thirty day practice shop
test in the particular branch of the
industry for which they have been
trained. At the end of the train
ing period all of the veterans who
have successfully qualified in their
work during the test period are to
be given permanent jobs in the
printing shops, and will be recog-
nized by the respective unions as
full fledged members of the trade.
A great many ex-serviee men have
been given institutional and place
ment training in the work of the
printers trades and are well fitted
to their places in the industry. This
decisive and forward looking step
ON the part of the employing print
ers and the printing unions in full
cooperation with the United States
Veterans Bureau will do much to
stimulate the absorption back into
civil life of those disabled ex-service
men who since the dark days of
war have been working and studying
that they may again assume the re-
sponsibilities of competitive life.

VITAL QUESTIONS &
DISCUSSED BY
LEADING EDITORS 7
OF THE COUNTRY
CALLS WOMEN FOOLS


The once famous militant suffra-
gist, Miss Christabel Pankhurst,
who fought valiantly for votes for
women in England and America, is
now an evangelist She says that
Women were fools to think that
their votes would cure the worlds
ills, which cannot be remedisd either
by votes or guns, and that they did
not take into consideration a sup
ernatural power. Also, Ex-President
Wilson tells the world that religion
and the spiritual life are needed
more than all else to set things
right. Pity. that in the heyday OF
their power and influence the great
of earth will not take what God
says about the solutions of the hu-
man problems, but delay till their
hands are no longer on the helm OF
affairs before they conclude from
their own experience that God is
right. Meanwhile others, younger
and willingly ignorant, are plunging
civilization to ruin.--Th Waterman.

WHAT is THE ANSw Err?

George W. Robinson, Democratic
candidate for Hunterdon County
Freebooter, boldly and loudly pro-
claims that he will not promise to
support anyone for any appointive
office to be filled by the Board of
Freeholders.
But, land there's the rub he does
not promise that he will NOT sup
port Mr.. Dineen for an appointive
office And he does NOT promise
that he will NOT support certain
Democrat from the First Ward of
Lambertville for an appointive of
flee.
Mr. Robinson is like the girl who
was asked what her lover said when
he proposed. ooh he didn't say
anything much" she replied, Eve
Just understood each other"

\ COMPLIMENT

when we read some of the stuff
the Republican county press bureau
is getting into the editorial columns
of the county papers we question
whether they have had their brains
unduly shaken up by their travels
over the roads their candidates are
responsible for, or whether they
have been drinking some of the bad
liquor their sheriff failed to seize"
The above article appeared in the
columns of the Hunterdon Democrat
of October 25th.
The Republican Press Bureau re
grets that il is unable to return the
compliment. No one has ever been
guilty Of accusing the Hunterdon
Democrat of possessing enough
brains to be unduly shaken by bad
roads or bad liquor, either, for that
matter.

HE KNEW THE DOCTOR

A certain celebrated doctor hated
to pay his bills, and got out of doing
so whenever he could. One day the
doctor employed workman to mend
some pavement just outside his
house. Afterwards he exclaimed:
"Why you rascal! DO you expect
to be paid for such a piece of work ?
Why you have spoiled my pavement
and then covered it with earth to
hide the bad work"
The workman winked knowingly.
Doctor" he retorted slyly, mine
is not the only bad work the earth
hides. Kansas City Star.

HAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO Sc
LECT THE MINISTER TO
PERFORM YOUR MARRIAGE?

We have heard of ministers trav-
cling thousands Of miles to perform
the marriage ceremony of intimate
friends and admirers who preferred
them to ministers living in their
own town. There is nothing wrong
with that. 1t is perfectly natural
that man or woman should have
a sentiment in the sacred perform
anee of wedding ritual. No one
has ever denied people that privi-
lege.
But people of this vicinity We're
astounded last Sunday to learn that
Rev. Charles H. Elder, chaplain at
the State Prison, has been forbidden
by Bishop Berry, of Philadelphia,
to perform marriage ceremonies
and to conduct funerals. The Bishop
said, when questioned by reporter,
Mr.. Elder was advised not to in
wade the pastorate of other min
listers to perform marriages or Of
ficiate at funerals"
In other words, if there is a death
in a family of which Mr.. Elder has
been lifelong friend, he is forbid
he would be Invading the passionate
of other ministers" Ii he is re-
quested to marry couple who are
his admirers or friends, he is for
hidden to officiate because he
would be Invading the pastorates
of other ministers"
MIR. Elder is one of the most
highly respected and beloved min
listers in Trenton. And the cause of
the tyranical edict of Bishop Berry
has been traced to Rev. Edward A.
Wells, pastor Of Trinity Methodist
Church, in Trenton Mr.. Elder was
formerly the pastor of that church.
lie is so we'll beloved that his mar
riage ceremonies have numbered
into the thousands. Last Friday
night, says the State Gazette, auth
entic information proved that Bish-
op Berry had meeting with Mr.
Elder, Mr.. Wells and Rev. M. f
Snyder who is also former pastor
of Trinity church,, at which time
the ediet was issued
1t is quite evident that Mr.. Ed
ers popularity is thorn in the
flesh of Mr.. Wells. Incidentally
Mr.. Wells was formerly pastor at
Centenary Church in Lambertville
Now the question is, HAVE YOU
A RIGHT TO SELECT THE MIN
lister TO MARRY YOU, BURY
YOUR LOVED ONES, VISIT YOUR
SICK9
The autocraey OF Bishop Berry's
edict, undoubtedly animated by the
envy Of Mr.. Wells, is deplorable
blot on the Trenton District of the
Methodist Church.
