DAlLlEs sUPPLANTlNG WEEKLlEs

One of the noticeable features of the present newspaper development has been the suppanting Of weekly papers by daily newspapers. Improv- ed transportation, extension of tele- graph and telephone lines, and growth in population is largely responsible for the increased popularity of the daily and the gradual disappearance Of the weekly.
 Until recent years nearly all daily papers published weekly editions, Not only have nearly all of them ceased this, but the weeklies in the towns which have dailies have become less numerous. The latest of the large city daiies to abandon the weekly field is the New York World, whose Thrice-a-Week edition was issued for the last time in June.
 The World in an editorial, comment ing on its discontinuance, said that the weeklies' sun has set; their day has passed, and one by one they are dropping out of existence.

THE MARATHON CRAZE

Of making many marathons there is no end. A better name for them would be endurance contests for fools. We are just emerging from the danc- ing and piano playing crazes. Now a French idiot has started another wild orgy by whistling for ten hours at a stretch and defying any lip artist to beat his record. Any worse horrors may follow. We may have GUM chew ing contests or a saXaphone endurance contest. And the worst of it is the splendid word Marathon" is debased into a label for these imbeciIiues.

THAT FISH JUMPS AGAIN
Pathfinder of Alaska)


 That fisheries quesJon simply will not down Like the poor it is always with us-and will be until it is settled right. The attitude of The Pathfinder of Alaska is well known. Without in the least jeopardizing the capital in vested in the development of this great resource, The Pathfinder stead fastly believes that the fish supply ought to be protected for Alaskans- also that it will likely never be prop erly safeguarded until it is done by Alaskans.
 The Railway and Marine News, ans wering an argument made in these columns last fall for higher rate on taxation on canned sal.aon, urges that such a policy might lead to confisca- tion-that the taxes might be put so high that the canneries would be fore ed to close down and the money in vested thus be lost. Of course such claim is siIIy-AIaskans are not Bol- sheviks, and are not antagonistic to capital. Far from it, We want capital, and will lend every possible aid to it's securing fair or even big returns. Moth ing more than a reasondc-a 5ax was anticipated, nor was the tax imposed by the recent Legislature higher than is reasonable. II the canning industry cant pay a reasonable tax on a pro- duet that it gets for nothing, some thing is wrong with the industry, and it might be just as we'll to declare a recess until we find out where the trouble lies.
 But the Railway and Marine News might do we'll 10 remember that Alas kans know their weapons. The right ot the legislature to lay confiscatory tax es has time and again been upheld. The Salmon supply of Alaska has been raided, and is showing signs of depIe- ton in many sections. There is rem edy somewhere, and it must be found and applied. Ii the various officials. boards and bureaus that are charged with preserving the salmon supply do not begin to function effectively pret- ty soon, Alaskans may, in self defense De forced to put a tax on canned sal mon that will close up the canneries. There would undoubtedly be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in Seattle, Portland and San Francisco. put meanwhile the salmon would have chance to spawn and replenish. Alas

ALASkA'S TROUBLES

Red tape and politics are keeping capital away from Alaska, so say busi- ness men interested in the develop ment of that magnificent Territory In that case Alaska has called in the best specialists obtainable.

r MAIL NOTICE.

Postmaster Whitman directs the at
tention of patrons of the rural routes
served from the local p~ostof1ce to an
amendment in the Postal laws, which
reads as follows:
Rural carriers shall open and exam
inc boxes Of patrons only when sig
nails are displayed TO indicate that
they contain mail for dispatch. When
the mail is collected from the box, the
carrier shall lower the signal, wheth-
er he has deposited mail in the box or
not. The signal on a box is not to be
raised by the carrier when he deposits
mail therein"
1t will be seen from the above that
a rural carrier is only required TO
open a box for the collection Of mail
matter when a proper signal is dis
played. Patrons along these routes
are urged to provide themselves with
suitable signals, as it is the desire of
the local office to render the best SER
vice possible to its patrons.

DAMAGES ASKED
FROM RAILROAD
Suit Instituted as Result of Recent
Forest Fires to be Tried
During May Term.
fire LOSS WAS HEAVY

Suit has been instituted against the
West Jersey and Seashore Railroad
Company for loss, alleged to have
by sparks from locomotives, by Mrs.
Carrie A. Meyer. Damages are alleg-
ed to amount to $4,000. The action is
on the list for trial at the May Term
of court before Judge Donges. The
result of this action will be anxiously
awaited by many land owners who
have suffered fire loss recently. Bah
cock and Champion represent the
plaintiff.
Last Tuesdays fire destroyed some
of the finest timber land in South Jer-
sey, according to reports from fire
wardens, including pine and fir. The
loss will amount to thousands of dol
lars. Three houses were burned at
Bargaintown, one at Cardiff, one al
Mortified, one at Linwood, and one
back of that community. Several per
sons fighting the flames were ver
come by heat and smoke, the latter
rolling in great clouds that in some
places obscured the SUM-.
After the fire neal Bargaintown had
been brought partially under control,
another broke out along the Zion road
near English Greek, jumping the Zion
road and sweeping for a long distance
before the combined efforts of rang
ers, firemen and residents of the coun-
try around there brought it to an end.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Hursey, in Mt. Calvary, lear Pleas
antvil1e, was completely destroyed by
the forest fire that swept through this
section on Sunday. The house was
burned to the ground and most of the
household effects were lost. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hursey are making their home
with their daughter and son-in-law
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. King, of Pleasant
vile, until their home can be rebuilt.
On Tuesday the home of Chas. Reed
on Tilton road, and that of Walter En-
mis-, nearby, were carefully watched by
P~leasantville firemen, but fortunately
escaped being ignited. Chief Hudson
of the Pleasantville department, kept
his force at work effectively, and
these men did much to prevent fur
Their spread of the fires. The Somers
Point Fire Department also saved sew
eraI houses. They were unable tt
save the homes of Capt. John Steel
man and Enoch Higbee, on the Steel
manville road, below Scullville. Botf
houses were completely destroyed. L
was feared at one time that the irwin
Meyers house, as well as several 9th
ers, would also be burned.

AT Meeting of Kiwanis Club
Next Tuesday.

The boy, what to do with him, how
to properly impress him and in gen
eral what about his welfare, will be
the subject of special sermon in the
several churches of the city on Sun
day. Again next Tuesday the boy will
be the subject for discussion when
the Kiwanis Club holds its regular
weekly meeting. These sermons and
discussions are the result of a move
ment started in 1920 in New York
City to improve conditions of the boy,
and now every year there is a week
set aside to consider the boy and his
interests and welfare.
The movement is fostereo by the
Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs sac many
other similar organizations throughout
the country now. In New York City
there is a parade held each year, and
this time it is expected that over 200,
600 boys will be in line. In churches,
when the special services are held.
each adult is requested TO bring a boy
to the service with them. AS the gen
eral result. the boy of to-day is more
generally looked after and better pro
vided for, in the way of enjoyments
and uplifting influences in his daily
life

RAILROAD CASE
BEFORE COURT
Argument for Writ of Certiorari
At Trenton This Friday to Set
Aside Ordinance.
CASE WILL SET PRECEDENT

Whether or not the Atlantic City
Railroad can continue to operate its
express trains through the city limits
OF Pleasantville at a speed varying
possibly from fifty to eighty miles an
hour, will be determined at proceed
ings before the New Jersey Supreme
Court this Friday. The question comes
before the court on an application for
a writ of c~ertiorari to review the re-
cent conviction of an engineer and
conductor of an express train for ex
ceeding a speed of twelve miles an
hour, under a recently passed city or
dinance; as we'll as convicting the
Atlantic City Railroad Company on
the same charge. A fine of 5000 was
imposed on the railroad company by
Mayor Charles E. Jackson and SEN
tence suspended on the engineer and
conductor.
City Solicitor Louis D. Champion is
representing the city in the matter,
and the railroad interests are being
looked after by c~ounsellors Thompson
and Hanstein. The legal question in
volved seems to be whether or not a
municipality can pass an ordinance
that goes over the head of the Public
Utilities Commission. The ruling of
the Supreme Court will be awaited
with eager interest, not only in Pleas
a~ntville, but in many other New Jer-
sey municipalities, where grade cross
ings exist and express trains pass
through at great speed. The general
contention seems to be that the sew
eral municipalities desire the railroad
companies to establish gates and
watchmen at the grade crossings.
while the railroads, acting under rul-
ings of the Utilities Commission sim
ply protect crossings with automatic
signals in the majority of cases, hav-
ing crossing watchmen at some of the
more dangerous crossings.
