Deal or no Deal Little Has
Been Done by Republicans
for Live Campaign
NO CITY MASS MEETING
All Activity Here Confined to
Democrats Legislative
l Ticket is Not Doomed

Rumors persist in political circles
that a deal has been made between
Democratic and Republican, leaders
as far as Perth Amboy is concerned
whereby the Republican city ticket
here Is to be thrown over by the Re-
publicans in an effort to elect the
Republican freeholder candidates. In
other words, the Republicans Will
do nothing to prevent the Demo-
cratic candidates for aldermen being
elected, provided the Democrats
throw their e~~~ort to the Repub-
lican candidates for freeholder, or
at least, make no effort to prevent
the Republican freeholder candl-
dates rolling up a big majority in
Perth Amboy.
Naturally, the report is indignant
ly denied by the political leaders OF
both parties. They are for their own
candidates first, last and all the
ktime. They would not long hold their
sEobs as leaders if they took any other
yattitude-,outward $. But, just the
same, deals" have been made be-
fore and they are likely TO be maue
again, il the politicians see any ad-
vantage to themselves by so doing,
There are al kinds OF things going
on under the surface that the av-
erage voter never knows about.
Whether there has been a deal
or not, it is very noticeable that
all the political activity as far as
Perth Amboy is concerned this year
is being done by the Democrats.
They are thoroughly alive in every
respect while the Republicans have
done practically nothing to arouse
any enthusiasm for their ticket here.
Besides the numerous ward meetings
being held throughout the city, there
will be the big Democratic rally to-
night with Governor Silzer as the
star speaker. A Democratic banner
bearing the names of all the candl-
dates flung across State street near
the five corners is another evidence
of Democratic enterprise and spirit.
In fact. the contrast between the
campaign the Democrats are putting
IN and the absence of anything like
q campaign on the part of the Re-
publicans has caused considerable
comment, and even some ardent Re-
Z publicans have shown signs of rest
lessness. and are beginning to Won
der what it all means.
1t is pointed out that over in New
brunswick, where they have no city
ticket whatever, they are holding a
hig mass meeting with United States
Senator Edge as the attraction.
While there are no city candidates
to elect in New Brunswick, an effort
IS being made to give the candidates
for assembly and sheriff a chance to
show themselves to the voters. APP

DEFER MOVE ON
ULT|MATUM
Stresemann, German Chan
celIor, III, Cannot Preside
Over Cabinet Session
TO ACT ON SOCIALISTS
Governments Reply to Party'S
Demands Will Not be Forth
coming Today

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-(By The AS
sociated Press) Strese
mann was prevented by illness from
presiding over the cabinet session
this m orning when the socialist par
tvs ultimatum was to be consider
ed. 1t was considered probable,
therefore, that the governments re-
ply to the party's demands would not
be Forthcoming today.
The Socialist demands were fCrmu-
lated at a caucus of the party yes
terday at which it adopted a resolu-
ton declaring the party could re-
main in the coalition government
only on these conditions.
Abolition of the military state OF
emergency: treatment by the govern

Gently Joined the ltichswehr.
Another resolution passed by the
patty provided that the party lead
ers demand in their conference with
the government that wages be rald
in future in stable currency and
that the farmers be forced 20 sell
foodstuffs. The resolutions were
presented to the chancellor and a
reply by noon today was requested.
Tho newspapers supporting Chan
cellor Stresemann expressed belief
this morning in commenting on the
situation that the demands of the
socialists were so formulated that an
amicable understanding could be
achieved. On the other hand the
nti-Government Press views the
demands as entirely impossible of
discussion.
A Dresden dispatch announces
that DR.. Heinze, the federal govern
ment's civil commissioner for Sax
ony, has requested the new Saxon
permier, DR.. Fellisch, to take over
the government. and that the federal
troops have been withdrawn from
the official buildings, which are now
guarded by the Saxon police.
The message adds that the stua-
ton in Dresden, Leipsic and other
points is showing steady improve
ment.

ADAM ECKERT WILL is
CONSIDERED BY COURT

NEWARK, Nov. 1-'Thats not
so bad for a layman is it?' The
late Adam Eckert of the we'll known
Perth Amboy Foundry concern of
Schantz & Eckert Co, Inc, made
this statement to his attorney,
Charles c. Hommann three days be-
fore his death - February. This
remark was maue by Eckert when
he showed Mr.. Hommann a will
he had drafted. However, Eckert
has no idea what effect the will
would have nor that it would be sub
mitted by the heirs to the court of
chancery in order to ascertain just
what he meant to do with the prop
erty.
Vice Chancellor John Z. Foster
Yesterday found the solution to -
that pleased and met the approval of
all concerned. After an extensive
study of the will the vice chancellor
pointed out that Andrew Schantz
and Adam Eckert were partners ir
the foundry business located at 27S
Front street. Perth Amboy and in
1899 Schantz died and made Eckert
executor of his estate and guardi9n
of three of his six children.
Eckert was a bachelor and lived
with the Schantz family. Follow
ing Schantz's death Gckert only
filed one accounting showing the
children's share to be $6.657.33. The
children were always paid their
share and Eckert continued to run
the business, always recognizing the
interest of the children.
In 1918 he decided to incorporate
the business and in drawing his will
endeavored to arrange the division
of the stock. The will left the
Sahantz children their share of the
business and also part of his share,
the BALANCE going to his two neph-
ews and a niece. The will was
drawn so doubtfully, however. that
the court was asked to decide for
the heirs, just the manner which
Eckert desired the division made.

LOWER POWER RATES

Action of the Public Service Commission in authorizing reduction in the retail rates charged by the Alabama Power Company for electric current to small consumers sup. ports the position previously held that there was no urgent need for nasty valua- tion of the utility's property on which new and higher rates might be based. If the valuation recently proposed had been per manently established, it is not beyond ere dence that small consumers would now be facing the prospect of an increase instead of enjoying decrease in their power rates. As it is, Alabama's bid for new industry IS all the more strengthened, because of the more moderate level at which power charges are held.

SEN. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS

When the net congress convenes there will be missing from it's number one who has been there continuously for thirty years. Few representatives and senators enjoy such long period of uninterrupted public service, or so long command the complete confidence and united support of their con stituencies. Both as congressman and as senator, John Sharp Williams has maintained position of leadership that was due not so much to the holding of definite office as to his own dominant personality. The re- tiring senator possesses a gift of eloquence such as is given to few, and many times has the mere expectation that he would delvier a speech crowded both the floor and the gal leries of the senate. Quick at repartee, bril- liant in logic, envelopng in his humor, keen in his satire and crushing in his denunciaton, Senator Villains won hs audiences by his ability and overcame his opponents by the sincerity of his purpose and the strength of his determination. The state of Mississippi loses distinguished senator, the South 2 loyal defender in legislative combats, and the nation on of its soundest and most experi- enced lawmakers, as John Sharp Williams voluntarily withdraws to private life, where his friends thoroughout the nation hope that he will long enjoy the retirement to which he has looked forward.

EARLY CONFERENCE DESIRED

If at the close of the year during which the $50O,O00 appropriation for the Missis- sippi- Warrior barge line will be expended
 in keeping it on its feet, fair division of the through rail and water rates, now so un- fair, shall have been obtained, there need be no fear of the permanency of this eco- homie transportation outlet to the gulf. The rate division, and that alone, stands in the way of success. Shippers have rates that reduce their freight charges ana the barge line has proved it's ability to handle any kind of merchandise with promptness and precision. More freight is offered the barge line every day than it can handle. It's every craft is in use to maximum of ca pacity. But what avails this so long as the

rail carriers earn all the profit of the through haul and the Warrior earns the deficit?
 The management of the Warrior, the traffic associations of Alabama and con tiguous states sharing the benefit of the Warrior differentals and the chambers of commerce of these states have an opportunity to compel early conference on rates. The rate divisions deemed fair by the barge line should be formulated at once and early discussion with the rail carriers asked. If the rail carriers do not promptly accord sat isfaction, the matter should be carried forth with to the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. It is of utmost importance that fair divisional rates be secured at the earliest possible date.

THE VANISHING BLACKFEET

Report comes that the once mighty Black foot Indian tribe has shrunken in numbers and dwindled in spirit until it no longer re- motely suggests its bold ancestry. Not many years ago we left him reservation far-flung across the northwest. Out of out realizing that he had made the sale, considerable section of country which is now Glacier Park, one of our noblest reserves. Similarly and gradually he sold to the gov egnment all his other holdings of land, ex- cept a few acres on which he was told to go to work and cultivate farm. Whether this free rover of the lands and the lakes and mountain ranges, by inheritance as un- trammeled as the great spirits of the wilds, was too caged-in by the limits of farm fence, or whether his hands could not be made to fit the plough and the hoe, he has been stricken. Those of the Blackfeet who have not starved and ded remain pitiful remnant, the rags of their shawls drawn about their heads, awaiting, with what mourn ful face we dare not behold, the next blow of civilization. A bare thousand of them exist now near their old hunting grounds, dazed and hunger-ridden. So, while we are no longer hunting the Blackfoot to extermi- nate him--or to feed him either, for tha. 'matter-his days are said to be numbered. Mans inhumanity to man is thus again it. lustrated

Poor Boys Who
 Became Famous By FREDERICK HOUK LAW
Sam Houston

The great John C. Calhoun, Sec retary of War for the United States, was most indignant because one day there came to him a 25-year-old youth dressed in the rough clothes commonly worn only by Indians. He reprimanded the young man, who was at that time acting for the gov ernment in directing the movement of the Cherokee Indians. The fiery youth, Sam Houston, resigned. He was not the man to endure rebuke from anyone.
 Sam Houston's father, a Revolu- tionary soldier, had Cied when Sam was only lad. He and his mother lived for while on the Indian from tier. and for little time he worked as clerk in a store that traded witk Indians. That life, even on the frontier, was too tame for one of his disposition, and he ran away and lived with the Indians. After three years of wild life he came back to the edge of civilization, and tried to gain an education. What was it that drew him from the Cher okees and sent him 70 the Maryland academy? No one knows, but it looks very much as though he real ized that education is the one great key to success.
 The War of 181c interrupted his studies, for he threw himself at once into work for his country, was wounded in battle and promoted for bravery. When the war was over he went back to his books and made himself lawyer. Whatever he did he did thoroughly, and it was not long before he became dis trict attorney, member of Congress and governor of Tennessee.
 Always a frieno of the Indians, Houston, in 1929, formally became a member of the Cherokee nation, but he continued his work for the whites as well. President Jackson sent him to Texas to aid in Indan af- fairs there, and he took up residence in Texas, then a psr, of Mexico. His great ability made him a leader of those who wished freedom for Texas. He commanded troops that defeated the Mexican genreal, Santa Anna, and freed Texas rorever from Mexico. He was made the first president of the republic of Texas, and was elected for second term. When Texas became an American state he was first elected United States senator and then governor. When Texas wished to secede with the other southern states in 1861, Sam Houston opposed the movement and was deposed. He was genuine American, fearless, ambitious, man. ly and a lover of freedom for all, whether black, or red, or white. The great city of Houston was named in his honor.
 Next: Paul B. DeChaillu, the great explorer.

GROWING HABIT OF THRIFT

The people of the United States are in- creasing their savings deposits in response to the high tide of employment and the good wages that are being earned. One thousand banks report an increase of nine per cent. in savings over the same period last year. Increase in savings automatically follows the expanding payroll. There are careless spenders in the United States, but the bulk of the workaday householders re- sponsible for the well-being of others may be relied on to put by portion of their money when there is any left from the actual necessities.
 There is another cause for the increase in savings. There has been lot of attractive advertising of the savings habit. Banks, building and loan associations, and reputa- ble security dealers have encouraged the savings and sound investment habit by means of the printed word. They have used the newspapers regularly and extensively. They have sent the saving message to every family and to every member of the family They have instituted the Christmas saving clubs and devised other inviting forms of thrift investment within reach of the aver age citizen. From the time that Uncle Sam conducted his wonderful campaign for Liberty bonds and War Savings there has of publicity to induce the savings habit. This habit will form a splendid cushion when another period of depression comes, and 1t may even retard and greatly ameliorate its coming.
