He did not know where they mad purchased it, he said. Sangosky said that he had contributed 50 cents for the liquor but did not know where it was purchased, except that Bresky told him that he brought it from Ia zicki.
 Evidence was presented by people who live in the next house 10 the defendants that they had seen him take two five gallon cans of something from a machine a week ago Sunday and carry them into his cellar.

The boys also said that he had seen the restaurant man and his brother go to the cellar many times day and they always had Il glass with them. Attorney Alfred Le- Witt represented the defendant,

From the Christian Advocate" a
Methodist publication, we clip the
following:
From eleven to seventy-three are
the age limits of students in Metho-
dist colleges, according to the daily
press. Syracuse reports fresh
man who has not yet reached his
teens, and Hamline has a mature
graduate who at the age of seventy
three has returned to study for his
Masters degree. He won his bac-
calaureate diploma in the last GEN.
fury This perseverance of the sehol-
ar is as interesting as the persever-
ance of the saints. The quality of
intellectual energy that encourages
one who is already ripe in years
and blessed with college diploma
to reach out for a second blessing
has always won the applause of
right-thinking people. Longfellow,
writing to his Bowdoin classmates
at the fiftieth anniversary of their
graduation, said:
but why, you ask me, should
this tale be told
To men grown old or who are
growing old1

OVER $4,000 NATURALIZED
"BUDDIES" WITHOUT PAPERS

According to an investigation
made by the Bureau of Nauraliza-
ton, in Washington, there are APP
proximately $4,000 foreignborn men
in the United States who were nat
uralized during the World War but
who today lack any evidence of
that fact. These men were natural
lied during mobilization in camps
and in courts throughout the coun-
try while the military units were
being transferred from mobilization
camps in this country to the battle
fields of Europe. After America en-
tered the war officially in 1917,
27S,5lS foreign-born men were nat
uralized in this manner, but the Blu
reau of naturalization stills holds un-
called for over $4,000 certificates of
naturalization. The national head
quaters of the American Legion has
been furnished with complete list
of there in order that the assis-
lance of American Legion posts
throughout the country may be
given in an effort to place the
certificates in the hands of their
owners.

LEAGUE CLAIMS
10000 MEMBERS

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Senate has passed the Insurance
Bonus measure by vote of 81 to
II, the Anti Bonus League is con-
tinuing its drive to prevent the
President signing it. The League
points out that the measure would
not have passed the House and
Senate unless it had been thought
the President would vetoe it, thus
making it political manoeuvre
whereby the politician could say he
had done all he possibly could do.
The League points out that the
Bonus is nothing more than "glor-
flied tipping" that would belittle
the ex-soldier and ex-sailor without
really giving them much material
benefit. But the aggregate of the
total would constitute heavy bur
den to the Government. They say
it would be infinitely more extensive
than the Civil War pensions. which
are still in existence and costing the
Government millions of dollars, tho
very few actual veterans are alive
to receive the money.
The slogan of the League is "For
the Disabled Everything the
Ablebodied Nothing" And it is ar
gued that no bonus should be asked
until all men suffering effects of the
was are properly cared for.
Both Jersey Senators, Edge and
Edwards, voted against the measure,
as did Senator Pepper. of Pennsyl-
vania.

WANT STONE CROSSES ON
OVERSEAS GRAVES

Favorable action by Congress on
the Resolution of Congressman A..
Piatt Andrew, of Massachusetts, that
the graves of American overseas
dead will be marked with crosses of
stone. to replace the wooden crosses,
is expected in Washington.
A decision of the War Depart
ment to use another type of head
stone brought forth storm of
protest from veterans, according to
Legion officials, and the matter was
brought to the attention of the Lee
gion's national executive committee.
Endorsement of the proposal to
continue use of the crosses and
for replacement of the wooden
cross with stone markers of similar
design was sent to Congress by the
committee An exception will be
made in the eases, of Jewish veter-
ans, the Star of David will be sub
stituted for their cross over their
graves.

T. d | T o RI A L S
HUNTERDoN VOTERS STICK TO
THEIR OWN MEN

In our last issue we commented on
the fact that despite the fact that
Percival Chrystie, candidate for Re-
publican delegate from this district,
was bitterly opposed by Mercer
County Republicans, he nevertheless
led his ticket in Hunterdon County.
This is gratifying. 1t shows that
most Hunterdon voters are indie
pendent in thought, and believe in
supporting their own men.
Mr.. Chrystie is a High Bridge
business man of unusual ability, be-
ing president of the Taylor Wharton
Iron Works in that town. Accord
mig to unofficial returns he polled
something over 400 votes in Hun
terdon, (Which is an increase of 400
over the latest figures available
when we went to press last issue.)
And this despite the fact that Ar
thur Foran, of Pennington, pledged
himself to the Mercer County dele
cation. Mr. Foran's help didn't seem
to do much good in Hunterdon, for
Mr.. Chrystie's vote this year was
nearly three times as many as that
of Mr.. Foran in 1920.
This independence of thought on
the part of Hunterdon voters is
straw to show which way the wind
blows. People are no longer taking
orders" about the way they shall
vote. And not only in the case of
Mr.. Chrystie, but for delegate at
large the same thing was true. Mr..
Foran was naturally working for
Senator Edge, having acted as god
father at the christening of the lat
ter's child last year. Edge only got
99l votes in Hunterdon, whereas
Frelinghuysen received 1928.
Hunterdon County voters are
standing by their guns and we
are glad to see it.

A PEEK AT wHEELER'S MIND

Senator Wheeler's latest outhurst
of indignation arises from the fact
that the same judge who sentenced
DIR. Frederick A. Cooke to Ia years
imprisonment for oil stock swind-
ling is going to preside at the APP
preaching trial Of CASTOR b. Means.
Says the senator: IF this judge
who apparently is the lord high ex-
ecutioner for the Department of
Justice, is going to try Means,
intend to find out just what brings
about his assignment"
Graciousl Is this great Wheeler
Brookhart crusade for the exposure
and punishment of dishonesty go
in gto turn into a movement to
rehabilitate DIR. Cooke, give the oil
stock swindlers freedom from inter-
ference and provide immunity for
CASTOR b. Means? Senator Wheeler
is hardly to be congratulated on his
Comrades. Buffalo Express.

FEDERAL VS.. LOCAL TAXES

We all talk a lot about the big
tax we pay to the federal govern
ment and we are mad at the con-
gressmen who don't reduce it. And
yet in comparison with our state
and local taxes the federal dues
are but chicken feed. F'rinstance:
The federal income tax paid in
Kansas in 1922 was $1.92 per capt.
ia, while the local and state taxes
cost us $42.61 apiece. In taxes, as
in good many other things, the
best place to start reform is at
home.-lola (Kans,l Register.

see the interest being taken locally

day. Elsewhere in this paper there
is printed the program for the
week. Read it, and attend every
function you can. 1t will do you
good.
Beware of the man who has no
love for music; even the Savage

those who cannot be touched by it
must be lower than the savages. A
man without love for music, has no
ideals, a man without ideals is a clod.

WHY NOT CUSTOMER
OWNERSHIP

The Manufacturers Record of
Baltimore says in its March 20 is
sue: Directly violating the law
of the land which forbids the
granting of the water power rights
to any one beyond so years, the
House of Representative votes to
give Mr.. Ford the control of Muscle
Shoals for 100 years. Under no
consideration should this great
power be granted for 100 years to
Mr.. Ford or to any one else; under
no consideration should Congress
violate our own law on the sub
ject; and under no consideration
should this property be leased ex-
cept on a basis somewhat common
surate with its value"
The ideal way to operate Muscle
Shoals would be through a public
utility company whose stocks and
bonds were offered to the people of
this nation and particularly to the
people of the territory served.
Thus, customer ownership" would
establish a community interest and
assure that the Muscle Shoals pro-
ject would furnish power at rea-
sonable cost allowing for a fair
profit.
Our most successful utilities today
are operated on this basis and repre-
sent true public ownership of
democratic character.
The burden of protecting the
public interest in the leasing of this
property now rests with the Senate.
Let it consider the matter thor
oughly.
