YOUTH SHOULD BE A saw
INGS-BANK"

Madame Swetchine.
Unfortunate is that community
that does not provide for the enter
tainment and occupational interest
of it's youth. Many small commun-
ity has seen its homes deserted by
the young men and young women who
have been ignored by their elders, or
else elbowed out of the things they
wished to participate in.
A town with no young people is
a mockery--its future is all in the
past. A town with no young people
is last years birds nest-a thing
of sticks and straws and dried-out
manure.
Recently in New Hope several
young men applied for Contributing
membership" in Eagle Fire Co. The
"active membership" quota is filed
The contributing members" pay a
dollar year merely for association,
but have no voice in meetings. Yet
ii is reported that these young men
We're turned down because they were
young squirts," or something to
that effect.
Haven't the members of Eagle
Fire Co. enough strength of char
acter to foster these "young squirts"
and influence them properly so that
they will develop into material bet
ter than young squirts ?"
1t is to be hoped they have. And
1t is to be hoped that they will not
bar young men until young men are
no longer available for their mem
bership.

THE PROSECUTING WITNESS

Maybe you have noticed it your
self, but we beg to remind you that
when the Stinson woman first APP
peared on the witness stand in
Washington, she pictured the late
Jess Smith as living a life of loving
devotion to the Attorney General.
Then rose in his place grave and
reverend senator who suggested
that maybe Jess Smith didn't COM
NIT suicide but was murdered
Straightway, back to the stand
came the woman in the case and
drew another picture of Smith, liv-
ing in perpetual fear and dread of
the Attorney General. Franklin

ORGANIZE RIFLE TEAMS

Members of the American Legion

not to lose the skill in Workmanship
they acquired during the war. Scores
Of posts in the Bay State have or
ganized rifle teams, and the State
department plans this summer to
hold an inter-post rifle meet.
Cambridge Legionnaires are the
champions at present by dint of
having won a similar match at the
Wakefield Navy Range last summer
with score of 387 out of a pos
sibIe 400 points. The gold medal
for the highest individual score is
now held by Harry B. Marshall of

ONE THOUSAND AND TEN
SLACKERS

A majority of Lambertville resi-
dents have been dissatisfied with
Mayor Moonan's regime" This was
proven by the vote cast last Tues
day when he got only 798 votes out
of the 1859 votes that were cast.
And if there had been any more
possible votes for Moonan and his
supporters to squeeze out" they
would have voted. For there were
some twenty cars literally securing
the town to drag out the Moonan
vote. AND EVEN THEN, HE WAS
HIGH MAN BY ONLY IL VOTES!
But according to the City Clerks
records there were 2,779 registered.
Only 1,769 voted. Where were the
other 1,010?
Certainly the missing 1,010 were
not Moonan supporters, for it they
had been they would have been TAX
en- to the polls. So evidently they
were either luke-warm floaters, or
else supporters of the Moonan oppo-
sition, but too Indifferent to vote.
Moonan and his supporters manip-
ulated shrewd political manoeuvres
to eliminate opposition in their own
ranks. Thus their vote was concen-
trated, as is evidenced by the "plunk-
err" ballots cast on which only Moon
x.,ag nj cd thn ~ hn.. Io
the votes were scattered, altho they
were majority, among the eandi-
dates who opposed the Moonan
policies"
The moral is that Moonan's party
harmony and cooperation should be
a lesson to the "slacker vote" of
the city. The vote last Tuesday was
conceded to be a record vote, BUT
WHY SHOULDN'T EVERY MAN
AND WOMAN EXERCISE THE
RIGHT OF FRANCHISE?
Where is the woman vote for
which there was so much babbling
and shrieking? Where is the reform
they were going to institute in poll
tics? There should be a law that
every man and woman who refuses
to vote for two years in succession
should be deprived of the vote for
the rest of their livesl
A man or woman who refuses to
come to the defense of his or her
government is just as great Stacker
as the man who shirks the defense
of his country-they are "Bergdolls"
in civil life!
Are you one of them?

YOU CAN'T HAVE WOOD

We use four times as much wood

soon be gone, and the world supply
is limited. Furthermore, the far
Their back from the big centers of
population we use the lumber, the
higher mount the freight bills. 1t is
reported that the annual freight bill
on lumber lis $250,000,000. Here is
an important factor in the high cost
of building homes.
The nation should be planting
more trees. Thirty-five thousand
acres are planted each year in the
national forests, but it is not enough.
We've got to start some day pro-
ducing lumber as rapidly as we use

REDEMPTION

REDEMPTION
In the isles of light
Where the spirits flight
At the journeys end finds birth,
Are the gallant souls
Who in lovers roles
Were condemned by men of earth.
Where Helen of Troy
With throbbing joy
In the arms of Paris bold,
Is free from the NAV
OF the Trojan law
That fettered their love of old
There is Egypt's Queen,
With a soul made clean
By the purging fires of death,
In a sweet release
Has at last found peace
From the flames of passions
breath.
There Napoleon
Has finally won
Reunion with Josephine;
And Dante finds there
In Beatrice fair
The beauty he crowned as queen.
And tho termed in life
AS "Queen of Strife"
Elizabeth sweetly knows
That lovers dart
In Sir Walters heart
Has won sweet repose.
Thus the bitter pain
OF a love that's vain
In the heartless course of life
Is at last made right
In the isle of light
Where redemption follows strife.

zONING LAW NOT
 READY FOR ACTION
Will Not Be Considered Tonight
 by Charter Revision

The charter revision committee o'clock at the office of Mayor A. M. Paonessa. but 1t is likely that the zoning enabling ordinance, which is regarded as the most important matter before the committee. will not be ready for action.
 At the opening session two weeks ago, Chairman Thomas Linder of the zoning commission read the rough draft and several changes were suggested. The ordinance was then brought before the zoning com- mission where additional amend ments were suggested, Chairman Linder then drew an ordinance en- bodying all the changes and submit ted it to Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham to scan 1t for flaws in matters of law. The city's legal ad- wiser has had a large volume of charter work to occupy his time, and the enabling ordinance was not reached until late this afternoon. On that account 1t is not likely that ac- tion will be taken tonight.
 In addition to other suggested changes to be brought before the hoard tonight by the police commis- sion, a change will be suggested to allow patrolmen doing duty in halls and theaters to retain 8 of their $3.5o fee, the balance to go into the police pension fund. At present the 50 cents is given into the city treas | ury.

 STAMFORD KILLING
Elijah Wright, Sought Since
 Shooting, Held in Philadelphia

Stamford. Conn, Dec. 9.-Elijah Wright, negro, known here among fellows Of his blood as High Pock- ets' wanted in connection with the killing of Henry Redd, negro, on Thanksgiving night, is under arrest In Philadelphia and the Stamford department has sent an officer there 10 bring him back.
 Wright is the sixth person under arrest in the homicide. Others claim that Wright either actually did the shooting or knows who did 1t and for this reason the prosecuting au- thorities have been delaying the hearing of the others until Wright was found.
 Redd was killed after a party of negroes who had been playing in the poolroom of William Wise, in Stage street, had had an argument. Wise says he ejected the group. Outside, there was a scuffle and five shots were fired. Three officers heard the reports and rushed 10 the place find ing Redd wandering aimlessly around. He died at the hospital shortly after.
