OF THE COUNTRY
SUBSTITUTES FOR COAL

Newspaper dispatches from all
parts of the country show increasing
use of fuel oil in homes, factories,
and public buildings, instead of
coal
For several years the public has
been subject to a periodical coal
strike with resulting hardships from
lack of fuel and unreasonable prices.
The public interest in the coal in
dustry has apparently been lost
sight of by both the operators and
the miners.
The day when the lack of coal
can cripple a whole nation is draw
ing to a close. The public ISIS sick
and tired of the annual outrage.
Electricity, fuel oil and gas are
the coming substitutes for coal in
the average home and factory.
Public utility plants operated by
COAL will use oil or operate their
own mines to the great advantage
of the public.
Coal mining will get the same les
son that is eventually melted out to
any industry that in it's operation
loses sight of the public interest. A
substitute that gives better service
will take its place.-Industrial Rec

VETERAN SUES FOR LICENSE
"VETERANS COLUMN"

Camden-Contending that a State
law enacted this year for the benefit
of former service men is being ig-
nored, John A. Kurlin, an ex-service
man, last week applied to Supreme
Court Justice Katzenbach for a rule
to compel the State Board of Medical
Examiners to show cause why they
should not issue a chiropractor's Ii
cense to him. The writ was secured
by Attorney Frank A. Mathews,
State service officer for the Amer
lean Legion. In his bill of complaint
Mathews contends that Kurlin was
refused license in spite of the fact
that he had complied with the State
law which makes is mandatory on
the examiners to license soldier
who has graduated from an incor-
porated college. Mathews further
states that there are other cases of
like nature and that the examiners
are taking this stand on the ground
that the law of 1928 is not consti-
tutional. The writ was allowed, but
will not be argued until February.

Inspiring Fathers Make Aspiring
Sons

Like father, like SON. is an old
adage and true one. Many boy
has been condemned as worthless
simply because he got the wrong
start in life because of a worthless
father.
It is natural for a child to do the
easiest thing. Before their intellect
develops reasoning powers it is quite
natural that they should live like
young animals. They MUST have
the stimulus of guiding hand.
But if they are given enough rope
they will hang themselves. That is
where the parents come in--they
must have enough sense themselves
to teach their children some sense.
A school teacher can't do it all-they
have room full of children with
whom their attention is divided. The
parents can give more pointed in
struction.
A father who hasn't enough in
dustry to provide his family with a
home of their own, can't expect his
son to have much industry. One Of
the best chances for teaching a child
industry is to buy one of the Wood
ward Farms lots, which are being
offered so cheap, and encourage his
boy to earn money to pay the in
stallments. Before he leaves school
he could have domestic in his own
name.

WATER CONTROL IN NEW
JERSEY

With hundreds of factories and
shops closed and tens of thousands
of workmen made idle for lack of
water, and hundreds of thousands of
people on the scantiest of water ra-
tions, there has been brought home
to New Jersey the urgent need of a
more rational system of conserving
and distributing the potable waters
of that state.
What is desired by many people
in New Jersey is that the potable
waters of the state shall be regarded
as belonging not to special locali-
ties, but to the whole state, to be by
it protected from pollution, impound-
ed in storage reservoirs and distrib-
uted equitably to municipalities ac-
cording to their neds.
Especially desirable is it in New
Jersey that an extensive series of
lakes shall be created for impound-
ing water in flood time for use in
drought.-N. Y. Tribune.

pecially in our present state of
mind, feeling as we do, our inability
to express our thoughts forcefully
and elegantly, specially in print.
During this speech the following
was quoted:
'Bit off more than you can chew,
And you'll chew it.
Tackle more than you can do
And you'll do it.
Hitch your wagon to a star,
Keep one foot on the ground,
And-there you are!"
1t doesn't hurt to have an ideal.
We have ours. We know now just
what the idea is. We didn't know
exactly how to express it, so good
old Walt Whitman helped us out.
The good Old Gray Poet" in his
prose Nature Notes" has expressed
with great clarity what we are striv-
ing to do; has pointed out the goal
toward which we are heading, even
tho we run brokenly.
Now if these mixed metaphors are
treason, make the most of them"
So far our postlude, our epilogue
our peroration, whatever you wish
to call it, we will offer Whitman's
ideal of the writing game:
"To speak in literature with the
perfect rectitude and insonciance OF
the movements of animals, and the
unimpeachableness of the sentiment
of trees in the woods and grass, by
the roadside, is the flawless triumph
of art"

ROBBING THE GOVERNMENT

At about the same time that Di-
rector Charles R. Forbes, of the
Veterans Bureau, was selling to a
Boston firm from the Surplus
stock" of the government at the
Perryville depot, $4,000 bed sheets
at 16 cents each, the bureau was
buying, at $1.02 each, $4,000 sheets
of inferior quality.
The more the administration OF
the Veterans Bureau by Forbes is
probed, the worse it appears to have
been. Plundering the government
was not confined to the building OF
the war camps or the purchase of
war supplies.

By the old bootlegger's cottage,

And the drinkers yells they say,
"Hurry up, you foreign liquors,
