STEWARDS MEET
in M. CHURCH

Lambertville-The members of
Centenary Methodist Church are to
entertain the ministers and stewards
of the sixty-one churches in the
Trenton District next Wednesday,
May 7th. There will be both morn
ing and evening sessions of the
conference, and at noon the ladies'
of the church will serve one of
their famous dinners to the visitors.
We understand this is the first
time the conference has met at the
Lambertville Church, and it was due
to the work of VIM, II. Beatty,
district steward of Centenary
Church, that secured the conference
for Lambertville. Mr.. Beatty went
to the Mt. Holly Conference last
year determined to bring this years
session to Lambertville. 1t was no
easy task to overcome the arguments
of other cities who also wanted
the conference, but he succeeded in
putting 1t across.
There is no more beautiful country
in the State than is found in this
section along the Delaware Valley,
and visitors are always glad to
come here. 1t is good for the city
to entertain such conferences, and
we would like to see more of them.
Rev. F. f. Purcell, the new min
lister at Centenary Church. is "on
the job" we understand, and we
predict successful and enthusiastic
gathering here next Wednesday. 1t
is estimated that there will be per-
haps two hundred visitors present
if the weather is good.

George II. Whyte, Miss Elizabeth X.

A mother Unjust Cost
For the City to Pay

Many criticisms have been direct
ed at the skinny" side walls on the
new concrete bridge at the railroad
station. Criticisms have also been
directed at the electric light posts
erected ON these side walls, because
the bases are so large they extend
over the sides. As was announced
in this paper, p. II. Skillman & Son
were the contractors who installed
the lights. But the "misfitsn are
NOT the fault of the Skillmans.
The specifications supplied them
by the city called for 10-inch side
wall, on which the lights were to
be erected. And the bid was accep-
ted and contract awarded on that
measurement. In the meantime the
Canal Company reduced the side
walls to SIX inches-a thickness en-
tirely too light for such heavy
bridge, and why it was done, no.
body knows, for the saving in con
NietS WAS iuSiBillliCdit. fit cost
of the forms remained the same.
And so when Skillman erected the
posts, according to contract, their
bases extended toe far over the
walls, Now the city has had to or
der two new posts from the Fleming
ton Foundry, made to order, at
cost of S125,0o Mr., Skillman says
that he only had to pay $120 for
four of them (the two on this bridge
and two on the South Main street
bridge). The Canal Company is
responsible for the extra cost to
the taxpayers, and why the city
commission should let them get
away with it is more than can be
understood.

SPRING LIGHTNING STRIKES
ANOTHER OIL TANK

Springtime lightning is playing
havoc with the tanks of the National
Transit and allied companies at
Center Bridge, two being burned in
ten days.
The thunder shower of early Tues
day morning struck one of the
tanks at the top of the hill, and the
fire that followed it completed its
destruction. 1t burned all day Tues
day and until early Wednesday.
The previous fire was subdued
with firefoam, but the supply ap-
pears to have been exhausted, as
none was available. The local fire
companies went to the scene, but
they do do but little, as the oil
company has its own water supply,
and even that could only be used
for the cooling of nearby tanks.

NOMINATION OF COOLIDGE FOR
PRESIDENT NOW A CERTAINTY
Washington Correspondent Says Grown Prince
McAdoo Awaits Decent Burial at
New York Convention.

Nomination of Calvin Coolidge as
Republican candidate for President
is now assured beyond possibility
of doubt. Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Oklahoma have einched it and
even the betting commissioners in
New York report that they haven't
cent to bet on any other Republi-
can. Incidental to the primary cleo
ton in Pennsylvania was the over
whelming and humiliating defeat of
Clifford Pinchot He was showed un-
der by 250,000 votes, the greatest
defeat ever suffered by candidate
in the Keystone state. Inspired by
an overweaning ambition 20 be pres
ident. Pinchot strove vigorously to
undermine the Strength of President
Coolidge and to thst end attacked
Secretary Mellon, inspired Senator
Couzens to retain at his own ex-
pense Francis J. Heney to add to the
saturnalia of undertaking at the
Capitol, and in ways both various
and devious sought to discredit the
administration. The voters of Pin
chot's own state who know him
best, as he has been their Governor
for several years, administered to
him the sharpest and most humili-
ating rebuke they ever gave an am
bilious politician, thus presaging his
early, permanent and innocuous re-
tirement from public life.
Crown Prince McAdoo, unlike all
the rest of his party, is unaware
that his presidential boomlet is dead,
and only awaiting decent burial at
New York, has entered an emphatic
denial that he prosecuted the claim
of Albert c. Burrage against the
Government and procured from the
U. S. Treasury 100000. McAdoo's
defense is that he left it to his
partner {and paD Stuart G. Glib
honey, to prosecute this claim. As
everyone knows that Gibboney's
standing in Washington was due
solely to his intimacy with McAdoo
and that he was at all times regard
ed as McAdoo's alter ego, and as
McAdoo shared, no doubt, the profits
Gibboney made, the denial would be
ridiculous, even were it true. The
records of the Navy Department
show, however, that McAdoo was
extremely active himself in the mat

ter and the Navy files are filed with
letters and kilograms regarding this
claim, all bearing the signature of
the Grown Prince. 1t is also shown
that McAdoo introduced Gibboney
at the Navy Department with the
statement that Gibboney was his
partner and would present the de-
tails of the Burrage claim, and one
letter from McAdoo's firm flatly
states that McAdoo "has charge of
this case" and requests a postpone

Having passed the bonus bill, the
Senate has now taken up the tax
reduction bill, designed to reduce
taxes by S300,000,000 year. Of
course Congress well knows that en-
actment of bonus bill and reduc-
tion of the taxes at the same time
are wholly impossible, just as i'm
possible as to save your cake and
eat it too. The passage of the bill
is simply a cowardly method of
shifting responsibility to the Presi-
dent. The members confidently ex-
peet Mr. Collidge to veto the bonus
bill, while they can claim credit for
having voted for it. But if they
should pass it over his veto, they
well know they will have to increase
taxes,-if not before the election,
Immediately after. Only seventeen
Senators, Republicans and 8 Dem
ocrats, voted against the bonus on
final passage.

Senator Walsh is still dragging
out the oil Investigation" getting
nowhere but spending vast sums of
the taxpayers money. The sole pur-
pose of the investigation was ac-
complished when the case of Mr..
Fall and the oil leases was confided
to the courts and the President ap-
pointed ex-senator Pomerene and
Owen Roberts special counsel to pro-
tect the interests Of the Government.
Since then the Investigation" has
reverted to it's original purpose, an
attempt to offset the opposition of
the KuKlux to Senator Walsh's re-
election to the Senate, primarily,
and secondarily an effort to dis
credit the Republican administration.

FISHERMEN'S RULES

This is, the time of year when fish
ing experts break forth with reams
of advice on the subject of hooking
and landing the big 'uns, but the
following from the Barron County
News Shield, is the first attempt
we've seen to help out those Of US
who are forced to develop our ang-
ling thrills by words of mouth:
Fishermen's Rules
With the approach of the fishing
season, Nick Grengs, John Mcdonald,
John West and others are said to be
taking course in convincing mar
rative. 1t is said that the first les
son reads something as follows:
1. Size up your listener before
you begin. If he looks easy, add
five pounds; extra easy, ten pounds.
2. Never bring the fish home.
They shrink in transit.
8. Work without photographs
Many man has been hung on CIR
cumstantial evidence.
4. Take your wife into your con-
fidence. Bride her if necessary. If
that doesn't succeed, try another
wife.
5. Fish without guide. A
guides memory is VIGOROUSLY eX-
act.
6. Always go to some stream 0r
lake which no one in your town has
fished. If you don't know OF such
a stream or lake, invent one.
T. After you've made up your
story-stick to it.
