WILSON COMING BACK

Royal Meeker, Commissioner of
Labor and Industry, in Governor Pin
chot's Cabinet, made an address be-
fore the Democratic Woman's Club,
in Bellevue Stratford, Philadelphia,
Tuesday evening. Before taking the
post under Gov. Pinchot Mr.. Meeker
was secretary for the international
labor bureau of the League of Ma
tions with headquarters in Geneva,
Switzerland
Mr.. Meeker paid a high tribute to
former President Woodrow Wilson,
saying he was "'living martyr" of the
effort to make the League a force for
peace among the nations of the World.
He said:
81 have great veneration and re-
spect for Mr.. Wilson. To me it is a
source Of great satisfaction TO know
he is coming back to his own.
'The League is the liveliest corpse
you ever saw. It's enemies are en-
deavoring to make it appear it is one
of two things. 1t is held up as hav-
ing despotic powers on the one hand
and on the other as being a zero with
the rim erased, the center punched
out and minus sign before it. The
League answers neither description.
On the contrary it is working force
for peace among nations"
Two hundred women were present.

LINSEED OIL PLANT
dupont Company May Construct One
In Philadelphia

When the dupont Company entered
the automobile construction world,
there was great need to have control
of paint manufacturing. SO the old
established Harrison Paint Company
was bought. To make paint, Iinseed
oil is needed in large quantities.
The paint department of E. |. du-
Pont de Nemours & Co. recently an
given the erection of a large linseed
oil factory in Philadelphia, with a
view of reducing the cost of this basic
raw material, of which the department
uses approximately 100000 gallons
annually.
The plans under consideration call
for a factory large enough to supply
this need and to produce a surplus to
be sold to other paint concerns and
to the oilcloth and 1inoleum trades.
which also use the oil. The paint in
dustry of the country now uses about
so per cent of the oil produced in the
United States, while oilcloths and
linoleums require require about 20
per cent, the balance being consumed
in various industries. The dupont
paint department supplies large guam
titles of pigments, lithophone and
other raw materials to these other in
dustries, which also require a steady
supply of the oil.
The site for the proposed new plant
is along the Schuylkill river and is
ideal for the purpose. 1t is on tide
4 water, which will enable ocean-goine
vessels to bring the fiaxseed, from
which the oil is recovered. direct tC
the plant from foreign countries
principally the Argentine, which is
one of the chief sources of supply. The
manufacture Of linseed oil has beer
under consideration by the dupont
Company for a long time. severa
new processes for its manufacture
have been the subjects of investigation
: and experiment, and it is expected that
: one of these new processes will be
adopted in the proposed plant.

THREE CANDIDATES
FOR SHERIFF

The greatest surprise at the Repub-
lican primary election was the big
vote given George w. Brown, who has
been deputy Sheriff under Alf. X.
Brandriff. He is practically a new
man in Salem County politics and the
fact he came within SO votes of get
ting the nomination over former
Sheriff William T. Mifflin was amaz-
ing to old politicians.
Sheriff Brandriff has been sick and
Mr.. Brown was restrained in getting
over the county before the primary
election. There has existed much
dissatisfaction in the Republican party
over the candidacy of Mr.. Mifflin.
Mr.. Brown has announced that he
will be an independent candidate for
Sheriff at the election November g..
His friends who supported him at the
primary continue Jealous for, hlm
and he will undoubtedly poll large
vote.
With two Republican candidates it
would appear that Robert w. Kidd,
the Democratic candidate, would have
an excellent prospect for election.
Yet some think Mr.. Brown will receive
many Democratic as well as Republl-
can votes because there seems to be a
new spirit pervading the people IN
voting.
Both Mr.. Kidd and Mr.. Mifflin be
lieve their chances of election would
be as favorable with out Mr.. Brown
independently. However, Mr..
Brown, continuing to be candidate
at the regular election, will make the
result more uncertain, because Mr..
Browns support seems to be a new
in Salem County politics
and no one knows where it will end,
as there are new lines forming which
may wreck many old party machines.

KHAN GIVEN CHARTER

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 16.-Attorney
General McCran today informed Sec
retary of State Martin that the char
ter of the Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan is in proper legal form and
should be accepted by the State.
Complaint had been made by VIM.
j. McFadden, Newark lawyer, that
the Secretary of State should have de-
clined to issue a charter to the Klan
on the ground that the Klan discrimi-
mated against an integral part of the
citizenship of New Jersey and was not
fraternal in character.

The assertion is made that the
Volstead law is a failure. The law
against stealing, false witnesses and
covetousness was made six thousand
years ago, yet they are violated. The
laws are not failures but weak human
ity who fail to live up to the law are
moral and civic failures. The law is
a schoolmaster to teach people to live
high standard of morality and civic
righteousness. Do not fret about the
violations of the law; there will be
violations as long as the world exists.
There is surely less use and abuse of
intOxicants than ever before in the
history of the nation.

would have the greatest effect thru

Mrs. Bergdoll says that her son,
Grover, who was smuggled to Ger
many to escape the draft will come
back and serve his term. AS Germany

Honest business is not gambling
