IMPROVED MAIL SERVICE FOR
LAMBERTVILLE

Lambertville Postmaster b.
Frank Barley announces that an
additional outgoing mail has been
secured for the local Post Office.
This is on the 11:50 train for Tren-
ton and Philadelphia.
There has been no outgoing mail
during the middle of the day, and
this has handicapped business houses
whose mail for Trenton and Phila-
delphia reaches the Post Office after
the 1886 down train. The added SER
vice will enable Trenton mail, for
instance, to be delivered on the
same afternoon, instead of on the
following day.

TAX RATE OF $4,000 PER $1,000
FOR SCHOOLSPROBAB IN FUTURE
Editor Lambertville Record:

Editor Lambertville Record:
Would you consider a tax rate of
$3.50 per 800 too much to pay
for school purposes alone in the City
of Lambertville?
If the rate increases in the same
ratio for the next forty years lover
which it is hoped to stretch s1S5,OO0
worth of school bonds) that it has
in the past forty-sinee 1884.
During that period the population
of Lambertville has increased about
10 per cent; the taxable wealth
about 25 per cent; wages (including
those of school teachers) about 800
per cent, and school expenses in the
city have increased 1900 per cent,
or more than six times as fast as
either incomes or other city ex-
penses, as shown by the budgets of
the years named.
No sane man wants to curb real
education, nor leave undone anything
that will make life happier for the
generations to come; nor on the
other hand does any sane man be-
lieve that great and lasting good is
to be done by rushing precipitately
into obligations that somebody will
have to shoulder without their con-
sent.
The City Commissioners and the
Board of Education of LambertviIle
are attempting to foist upon the
taxpayers of the city a $185,000
addition to the high school that may
or may not be needed. but which
they are determined shall be adj
judged solely by Them When
speakers at a public meeting de-
clared that the voters of the city
did not possess enough intelligence
to vote on the question, neither
the commissioners nor board of edu-
cation members called them to ac-
count. 1t doubtless precisely repre-
scented their views, which they lack
ed the backbone to express.
The citizens of Frenchtown have
just voted on and approved a loan
for the building of new school
building. Also the voters of Clinton
marched to the polls several times
before their issue was settled. be-
lieve that the people of both French
town and Clinton are intelligent
but do not feel that they are so
vastly more intelligent than Lam
bertvillians that it would not be pos
sible to risk vote here. In fact.
it appears to me rnaJ most OF the
citizens understand the school ques-
ton better than either the board of
education or the city commissioners.
Anyway, the constitutions of the
state and of the United States does
not brand people as incapable of
voting merely because they might
vote opposite to you.

BUCKINGHAM MOUNTAIN FIRE
BURNED MUCH WOODLAND

A woods fire on Buckingham
Mountain, south of Bycot station,
Sunday afternoon and evening, burn
ed over an area more than mile
long and half mile wide before
being finally extinguished by some
Boy Scouts and neighboring resi-
dents.
There has been considerable crit
icism of the fact that the Fire
Warden was not notified, and that
no attempt was made for consider
able time to extinguish the blaze.
It is thought that it was started
through the dropping Of cigarette
by some careless arbutus hunter.

WASHINGTON CALMING DOWN
AFTER INVESTIGATING EPIDEMIC

(From Our Regular Correspondent
With 525 pledged delegates, out
of a total of 555 required for a
majority, the nomination of Calvin
Coolidge for President is now re-
garded as absolutely assured. At
tention of the leaders must now be
turned to matters of organization
and an effort to get the facts-more
or less obscured by the miasma
of Democratic undertaking. the
voters. Each primary that has roll
ed up delegates for Mr.. Coolidge has
tended only to increase the uncer-
tainty regarding the Democratic
candidate. Democratic voters have
made it plain that they do not de-
sire the nomination of Crown Prince
McAdoo; but they have given
nothing even approximating an indi-
cation of whom they do wish NOM
mated and suggestion of any one of
those mentioned for the Democratic
nomination is certain to bring from
some influential Democrat one or
more reasons why he is impossible.
The Democratic race this year is
one in which there simply amt no
favorite."

Once more the so-called insur-
gents in the House have betrayed
their party. They voted to seat
Rep. Sol Bloom of New York, whose
seat was contested ON the ground
of grave fraud by former Rep.
Chandler. This seat was prize
tefly because if, perchance, &c ~ i. Pr
idential election should be thrown
into the House, the seating of
Bloom would give the Democrats
majority of the New York dele
cation. As each state would cast
one vote for president that would
insure New York's vote for the
Democratic candidate.

NEW HOPE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH NOTES

Last Saturday, Mrs. Cassie J..
Knowles passed away at her late
residence in New Hope. Mrs. Knowles
was born March 10, 1866, and has
one brother Richard Carter, and one
sister Miss Rebecca Carter. She
united with the Thompson Memorial
Church, Lower Solebury, in 1884.
In the year 1889, March 18, she was
Rev. Dwight Hanna. About fifteen
years ago they moved to New Hope
and in the year 1916 united with
the Presbyterian Church, New Hope.
She leaves to mourn her death,
besides her brother and sister, four
children, Miss Edna, and Miss Ruth,
of New Hope, Mrs. Rebecca Cramer,
of Trenton, and Mr.. Albert Knowles
of Philadelphia, and her husband,
Mr.. Joseph Knowles. The family
has the sincere sympathy of our
church and community.
The funeral was held from her
ate residence Wednesday at p. m.
The services were conducted by her
castor, assisted by her physician
md a friend of the family, DIR.
Magill.
By request of the departed, DR..
.Iagill delivered the address. 1t was
a fitting tribute. The address was
full of sweet sentiment and beauti-
full thoughts. The floral tributes
were beautiful. Some of the wreaths
ere given by DR.. Magill's class,
rs. Scheetz's class, and another by
,aa church. She was laid to rest

and speeches and each time Mr..
Mellon came back with knockout
for Couzens. Then Couzens pro-
cured the appointment of an inves-
tigating committee, with himself as
chairman. Thus far, the committee
has been unable even to stir up a
fair sized smell, but Couzens is
counting on the shrewdness and
adroitness of Heney to make white
look black, and probably Heney
possesses sufficient ability of that
type to accomplish all Couzens is
paying him for although the con-
tinued deception of the American
people is not always as easy as some
Senator's seem to believe.

Senator Walsh is throwing away
money-the taxpayers money, of
course-like drunken sailor in
his efforts to create a scandal where
none exists. Having paid all the ex-
penses of AL Jennings, reformed
bandit, from Oklahoma to Wash
ington, etc, to have Jennings retail
to the Walsh committe fairy
story Jake Hamon told Jennings
about his (Hamon's) Importance in
bringing about Harding's nomina-
tion, Senator Walsh has now sent
for another group of Oklahomans on
the same terms. Everyone who knew
Jake Hamon knows how well he
loved to boast and draw the long
bow and also knows that under GER
tain conditions there was no limit
to the length of the bow he drew.
Also, any sincere inquiry would
convince the least intelligent in
vestigator that Jake lannon's
stories of IAN oil conspiracy" to
bring about lIarding's nomination
were pure bunk. But then, of course.
Welsh is not seeking facts but per-
soral publicity and political advan-
tage; as he has been from the be-
of his oil investigation, and
there will be no end of his "investi-
CATION" until the newspapers weary
of it and refuse him further pub
licity.

The Indictment of Senator Wheel
er for prosecution of claims against
the Government after he was elect
ed Senator has given new turn to
affairs in the Senate. The suspicion,
somewhat entertained at first, that
Wheeler's indictment was due to the
animosity of Attorney General
Daugherty has been dispelled by
the disclosure that it was at the
instance of the Post Office De-
partment-not that of the Depart
ment of Justice-that the indiet-
ment was procured and the further
fact that it was investigation by
post office inspectors-not Justice
detectives--which disclosed Wheeler's
conduct. The statute under which
Burton X. Wheeler is indicted is the
one under which Senators Burton of
Kansas and Mitchell of Oregon were
convicted. Naturally Senator Wheel
er enters a denial and committee
has been appointed by the Senate
to investigate the facts, but Wheel
er's friends regard his situation as
extremely grave.

duction. The Washington Railway
and Electric earned less than 4 per
cent and the Traction Company
slightly over 6.5 per cent.
An early decision on the petition
of the transit company for a
straight ten-cent fare is expected
from the Public Utilities Comn1is-
sion.
1t is understood the commission
will, if satisfied with the promise
of the company to install new
motor buses within the next few
months, grant the increase.
Members OF the commission will
not under any circumstances give
the company a higher fare with the
present equipment, it was said to-
day, Nor will they boost the fare
without receiving guarantee o. i'm
proved service on the lines of the
company!
New Buses Promised.
Leon Arnold, president Of the bus
corporation, told the commission at
a hearing yesterday that, with a
straight dime fare his company
could put ten new buses into Oh.
Grafton in sixty days, fifteen in
ninety and replace all of the
thirty-six now operated before My
l. On the latter date the life Of
the busses now used viii expire.
The commission is anxious to i'm
prove the service and equipment Of
the bus company and for this rea-
sdn, it is said, will probably grant
the coInpany's petition.
No action is expected on the sug.
gestion of William Mex. Clayton,
representing the Federation of Citi-
zens' Association, that the present
fare, 10 cents cash and three tokens
for a quarter, be continued, but that
tokens be sold only at the car barns
and not on the buses. Company
officials oppose this proposition.
The stumbling block in a higher
fare may be the failure of the
company, as claimed by Mr. Clayton,
to carry out the suggestion of the
Utilities Commission to effect fur
Their economies in operation.
For more than a year the bus
company has been fighting for. a
10 cent fare. Yesterdays was the
corporations fifth appearance before
the commission. Conrad III. Syme.

yesterday by Edward II. Colloday,

Trade, who made his first appear
