 viSionaI Application

DENVER, Col, Oct. S.-(By Asso- ciated Press. )-Thomas o. Marvin, chairman of the United States tariff commission, telegraphed the western tariff cerp1issisn today that Presi. dent Coolidge stands fer national policy of protection but is opposed to g sectional application of protec- tion.
 Reading Of Marvin's telegram was the second word from the President. This morning message direct from President Coolidge was read to the congress.

STRESEMANN CALLED ON TO FORM A NEW CABINET
Overthrow Of Ministry Is Re- suit Of Socialists Refusing Efforts At Mediation Begun By The Democrats

BERLIN. Oct. 3.-(By Associated Press. .)-Dr. Gustav Stresemann and the members of his ministry resigned from office tonight. President Ebert then called upon the retiring chan cellor to form a new cabinet
 The Stresemann government re- tired from office with the relinquish ment of passive resistance In the Ruhr and the Rhineland as the only active accomplishment to its credit. While criticism of it's usefulness on this score would seem to be not en- tirely fair, in view of the hopelessly tangled legacy assumed by the min istry, the Stresemann coalition in it's political composition was such as to preclude in the long run any hope of productiveness in the nature of fi- nancial and economic reforms on ac- count of the conflicting currents which hampered it's deliberations. Friction Established.
 With a theoretical socialist in the ministry of finance and an indus trialist party man as minister of eco- was promptly established. It led to the retirement yesterday of Hans Von Raumer, who held the latter post, as he had apparently wearied of carrying on a running debate with Dr. Hilfording on financial and eco homie QOSmaS.
 This was only one of the several minor paradoxes with which the Stresemann ministry was handi- capped. The chancellor's well-known optimism, praisedS as as7useful asset when he assumed office, was unable to overcome the Sisyphean task of getting an economically and politi- cally moribund Germany back on its feet.
 M. Poincare, the French premier, is blamed by the German govern ment and the Reichstag leaders for the collapse of Chancellor Strese- manns coalition government. If Poincare had given the slightest in- dication of a reciprocal attitude in response to Germany's abandonment of passive resistance. official and po- litical quarters believe that Dr. Stresemann's position would have been measurably strengthened inas- much as it would have been spared the nationalist onslaught. which not only gained momentum through the conditional Ruhr surrender, but also from the swiftly collapsing internal situation.
 Cabinets Downfall
 Both factors sufficed to knock the prop from under the cabinet whose advent as a "big coalition govern ment" was acclaimed less than seven

The injunction suit was brought following action Of the mili- tary last Wednesday In dispersing, at the governors order, a session called by a majority of the members with out his sanction.
 The action was instituted before fl was determined that the legislative amendment would be voted on in yesterdays election.
 New Attack Launched.
 Meanwhile a new attack was launched today against the official acts of Governor Walton by Camp bell Russell, a bitter political enemy of the governor, who circulated the initiative petition for the legislative referendum.
 This time, it was a petition for a grand jury in district court here to investigate charges that Governor Walton has mlsused public moneys, and to inquire into the appointment of thousands of state secret serv- ice" agents by the executive. More than the required number of sigma lures were obtained and the petition was filed in what was said to have been the shortest time on record for such proceedings in Oklahoma City.
 It is alleged that the governor used state highway department employees, in violation of the law, to check the initiative proposal in an effort to substantiate his claim that many of the signatures were forgeries. Both the secretary of state and the state

 IN FIRST TEST IF STRENGTH AT MEET
Friends Of Radica! Russia Among Delegates At Con-
 vention Receive Setback

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 3.-President Samuel Gompers of the A. F. of L.. emerged victorious from the first test of his strength in the 1923 con- vention here Wednesday.
 By the same token, friends of radi cal Russia among the delegates, seek ing to gain recognition for the soviet regime, were given a decided set back in their aspirations.
 The test carle when Max J. Sillin- sky. one of the delegates sponsoring the Russian recognition resolution. sought to have the proposition lifted from the resolutions committee, to which Gompers had referred 1t, and where 1t can be killed without con- sideration, to the committee on in- ternational relations, where 1t would have to be brought up for debate.
 Sillinsky fought for his motion, and received a smattering of support from different sections of the con vention hall when the vote was taken. The great majority of the delegates, however, voted with Gompers, and. it was believed assured the death of the resolution as we'll
 Wednesdays session was a short one. featured by addresses by fra ternal delegates from England and Canada and outlining of the progress of the labor movement in those coun tries.

 Wants Better Understanding.
 James Sullivan, representing the Dominion Trades and Labor congress of Canada, affiliated with the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. appealed for "a better understanding between these two great bodies. and great CT cooperation in their mutual en- deavors."
 Miss Matilda Lindsay, field repre- sentative of the National Women's Trade Union league, told of the or ganization work going on among the 5000, 900 working women in America, and asked assistance from the federa- tion.
 President Gompers carried brief message to the convention touching on the courts
 @The courts of the United States have exercised power which his tory discloses was never granted to them,'' he said. And only one judge in England ever attempted to annul an act of Parliament. He lived but short time afterward."
 Various committees were In session during the afternoon and evening.

Retain The Old Ring In the New


Another year is very nearly gone,
What has it left behind, with you or
me?
Is there anything accomplished? some
thing done?
So well that we are proud to let 1t be?
Where are all the hours Of yesterday,
And yestermonth and on throughout
the year?
Are they simply blanks, all faded now
away,
Or did they materialize in something
dear?
My yesterday and yestermonths and
dreams
Are really living in my heart today.
Each minute, hour and every day It
seems,
Is simply toll, that every life must
pay.
And yet, they really, truly. aren't gone.
These happy days Of love and life and
cheer.
Daily just the shell is passing on,
I'm keeping out the part most dear.
Though 1923" is nearly gone.
l have each treasure the year has
brought.
love each day, yes, every single one,
Troubles come and go and stand for
naught.
So welcome to the New Year in its
glory.
Let's resolve to smile at each abyss
and hill.
Each year comes and goes and leaves
a story,
And we can make that story what
we will.

Assessments On Religious Retreats

Ocean City was founded by the
Lake brothers, for a quiet summer
resort with camp meeting services
The Roman Catholics came there,
bought eight properties and erected
houses thereon. They are estimated
to be worth 100000. They are occu-
pied by religious orders, Sisters of st.
Dominick, and not for Sunday SER
vices. The authorities have assessed
two properties at $7750 and S3825.
The State Board of Taxation re-
Gently sat in Ocean City to hear ap-
peals from the assessments on the
plea that they were used for religious
orphans, sick and disabled persons.
Solicitor Boswell, of Ocean City,
for the assessors, claimed that the in
stitutions are used as recreation cen
ters for the Sisters of the order and
for religious meditation. The sisters
teach in the parochial school.
The decision of the State Board OF
Assessors is looked to with interest.
Other towns have similar buildings,
not occupied by the priests, but Sis
ters. which should be taxed.
In July, 1918, the State Board OF
Taxation dismissed the appeal of st.
Paul's Catholic Church, in Burlington,
to have lots exempted because the
property was not used for any purpose
which would entitle them to exemp-
tion

THE OPEN WINDOW HABIT

A man can live without food for
weeks, without water for days, but
few moments only without air.
There is a pressure of fourteen
pounds of air to each square inch OF
his body. The inner air surface of
mans lungs is one hundred times the
surface of the whole body. Along
this inner surface vital chemical
process continuously taking place
purifies his blood.
It is not the amount only, but the
quality of the air which counts IN
building up health. Impure air which
has already been breathed by many
people naturally cannot serve the
body as we'll as air which comes from
the out-of- doors. Respiratory diseases
such as colds, influenza, tuberculosis
and pneumonia develop most easily IN
those who do not breathe sufficient
outside air.
During the winter we live and work
in closed rooms. Often they are
poorly ventilated, but even if well
ventilated, man needs the increasing
vigor which comes from sleeping at
night with open windows. This should
be done in winter as well as in sum
mer. Night air is not dangerous. Cold
air, no matter how cold, is tonic If
the body is kept adequately warm.
AS the fall days come on we should
keep our windows open, but use addl-
tional coverings as we sleep.
The man or woman who makes 1t an
iron-clad rule never to sleep IN a
closed room will live longer, have a
better mind and body, be happier, and
more free from colds, tuberculosis
and other lung diseases.
Get the open-window habit.-Phil'
Health Council.

McGRANE FARMS SOLD

James McGrane, a Philadelphia
lawyer, who was at one time assis-
tant city solicitor, used to spend part
of the summer at Jon. Smiths, in
Warrington when boy. His father
had charge of the many horses at
Betz's big brewery, Philadelphia, and
when they got foot sore on the hard
cobble stone streets, they were turn
ed out on Warrington meadows to re-
cover their vigor.
Mr.. McGrane became infatuated
with farm land in Salem County, and
when his father left him properties in
South Philadelphia he sold them dur
ing the war boom when they were at
inflated prices.
He bought the Straughen-G -Gaventa
farm at Dolbow's landing, which was
taken by the Government in 1918 for
part of the Delaware Ordnance Depot.
Then Mr.. McGrane bought two VIM
Webber farms in Manington at
Courses Landing. Later he bought
William Matlock's farm adjoining
and the Nathan Stewart adjacent.
Mr.. McGrane died in the winter of
1922, leaving his aged mother, the
only heir. She died last spring leav-
ing three nieces as the only heirs in
Philadelphia.
The heirs have sold the William
Webber homestead farm of 70 acres
along Salem creek to Thomas Land.
The price reported is 100000.
The other Webber farm of about
80 acres, tenanted by Samuel Zane
and Harry Gibson has been sold to
Josenh O. Roone Price renoJted iS
$4,000. Mr.. McGrane spent over
$4,000 improving the buildings on the
farms, an amount more than he gave
for both farms.
Harry A. Black, of Swedeboro, has
bought the Matlock and Steward
farms.
4 Zane and Gibson, who have lived on
/ the 80-acre Webber farm for eight
years, will move on Morris Reeves
farm near Halltown.
