A JUDGES CHARGE.
Justice Trenchard's Comment Or
Reckless Auto Driving Will Please
County Women.

Members of the Mothers Congress
and Parent-Teachers' Associations OF
Atlantic County will be pleased to
note a recent charge delivered to a
New Jersey Grand Jury by Supreme
Court Justice Trenchard. The women
have just passed a resolution against
careless driving of motor cars and at
about the same time the Justice com
ments on the law governing such cas-
es. His comment was short, but clio
thed in words easily understood:
"Unless the juries do their best and
set the legal machinery Of the state
in motion to punish reckless driving
of automobiles, the highways will soon
no longer be safe for the pedestrians,
Justice Trenchard said.
Highways are common property
All citizens have the right to thelT
use and those rights must be protect
ed" he continued.
There is a great variety of reck.
lessness. Excessive speed, lack OF
proper care and intoXication are am
ong the most frequent causes. When
evidence is presented to show any OF
the three cited or any other, indict-
ments should be returned. 1t is your
duty"

THIS TRULY AN
AGE OF WONDERS.

We are living in the age of Won
ders. Where ten years ago folks
would scotf at a new idea and say,
Impossible they now consider it
seriously and admit, Well that
might be done. Nothing is really
impossible"
Especially does this seem true
of the wireless. The latest dis
covered use of wireless is its abil-
ity to make the deaf hear, Many
people who have never heard any
sound, have listened to music and
the human voice for the first time
in their lives, because the ear
drums were effected by the finer
vibrations Of wireless when the
ordinary tuning fork vibration
made no impression.
In a most remarkable book, "A
Dweller On Two Planets,' dictated
by Phylos, one who lived on this
earth $4,000 years ago, through
the medium of automatic writing
we learn that wireless was de-
veloped beyond our present con-
ception by a civilization far su-
perior to the generation of our
day. In ancient Atlantis an in
strument called main" enabled
one to see distant events as they
transpired and to talk face to face
with friends, though thousands of
miles separated their physical
bodies.
We are about to rediscover this
remarkable wireless mirror. At the
present time, Edouard Belin, dis
tinguished French scientist, is
working on an invention which he
calls the telephoto device, that
when perfected will equal the
"naim," product of a forgotten
civilization.
Nicola Tesla, American electri-
cal wizard is also experimenting
along the same line and says that
the means OF seeing by wireless as
we'll as hearing can and viii be
accomplished within short time,
Imagine sitting in your home
and seeing some world event take
place as wildly as if you We're ac-
tually present, even to the hearing
of the things that transpire. Dis
lance is no barrier, The device
will work at a distance Of five
thousand miles as easily as five
miles. The alterations will pass
through the earth's surface un-
broken.
This is a subject which would
stand columns Of writing and not
decrease in interest. We are led to
make another worn expression att
the future possibilities Of our world
today, viii wonders never
cease?"

WHAT TARIFF PROTECTION.
COSTS OUR FARMERS.

Farmers have to pay a minimum
of S426,O0O,O00 a year as con-
sumers for an annual gain Of only
S125,000,0OO as producers under
the Fordney-McCumber profiteers'
tariff law, according to an expert
analysis of the incidence of the
new duties made by the depart
ment OF research of the American
Farm Bureau Federation. This
revelation of the true effects of
Republican protection" on Ameri-
can agriculture confutes and con-
POUNDS the claim of the Republi-
can authors and defenders of the
new tariff.
The report of the Bureaus de-
partment OF research says that the
farmers share in the cost of the
tariff on all products is about Is
per cent Of the total, or S426, O00,-
600. Gains to farmers as produc-
ers amount to $125,O00,000. The
difference between the gross cost
to the farmers of the county and
their gains is $3O1,O0O,OO which
is an underestimate rather than
an overstatement of the burden
heaped on agricultural producers
by the tariff.
