Ten Years Ago

A few weeks since the many friends
of Mr.. Joe Stratton began Joking"
him about his approaching marriage.
Joe would neither deny nor affirm
the report and so a very few days
ago when he suddenly left Rawlins
for New York his friends all decided

arations were completed several days

bride arrived this morning they
were royalty welcomed. Mr.. Stratton

1t appears to- the Republican that
people are becoming altogether too
reckless and too free with fire arms.
In the past four months three men
have been shot down in cold blood
without any apparent reason what
ever. within a radius of 100 miles
of Rawlins. Human life Is too prec-
ious to be thus recklessly taken and
1t is time these murderers had justice
dealt out to them to the full extent
of the law. They should be given
to understand that the taking of a
human life is a crime which only
the taking of another life will off
set or repay. Our courts are too
lenient. They should be more rigid
and pay the penalty on the gallows.
until the law is obeyed and respect
ed and a man will not whip out a
gun and shoot on the slightest provo
cation. The court which
here Monday morning will have n
case to try which was unprovoked
and cold blooded. We hope the
court will do its whole duty in this
matter and hat the murderer will
get what he justly deserves even
though his victim was a poor negro.

PA. BONUS HELD UP

The Supreme Court has decided
that the Pennsylvania State Bonus,
for soldiers, sailors and marines,
is invalid. The bonus had been thru
the State Legislature two years
(1921-23). and passed as an amend
ment to the Constitution, and was
to be submitted to the voters this
fall at the November A election. 1t
was provided that 100000 bond
issue would supply the funds.
The Supreme Court decision, writ
ten by Justice Simpson, specifies
that the Pennsylvania Constitution
cannot be amend oftener than every
five years. One amendment was APP
proved by the voters in 1923, and
thus the bonus amendment cannot
come up for approval by the voters
until 1928. This will prevent the
proposed amendment being printed
on the ballots November 4, 1924.
In the past there have been
amendments voted on within five
years apart, but as no protest was
made against them, they are upheld.

MORE TAX-FREE PEOPLE
LESS TAX-FREE BONDS

Congress at its next session will
consider an amendment to the fed
eral constitution which provides for
taxing the income from future is
sues of state and municipal bonds
by the federal government. 1t also
provides that states may tax the
incomes from future issues of gov
eminent bonds that are owned with
in their borders. In plain English
this means that the income derived
from tax-exempt bonds, instead of
being tax-free as in the past, would
hereafter be subject to taxation in
the same manner as income earned
in any other manner whatsoever.
More than a billion dollars is now
diverted every year from agricul-
ture and business to tax-free bonds.
This is knife that cuts both ways.
1t deprives industry of the needed
capital and it shifts heavier taxes
upon agriculture and business. Ii
that leak is stopped by the passage
of the amendment, agriculture and
business will thrive as never before.

A POOR ADVERTISEMENT
FOR LAMBERTVILLE

All motorists know Lambertville
as THAT hick town where they al
low freight trains to hold up traffic
for half an hour at time" If you
could stand along the lines of stall
led traffic and hear some of the
choice expressions that motorists
have voiced regarding this outrage
you would agree with me that some
body is laying down on the job by
not forcing the Railroad to comply
with the State law, which forbids
the blocking of traffic more than five
minutes.
Some times the engineers OF these
trains stop their engines just bare
ly over the crossing. There is no
earthly excuse for their not stopping
just short of the crossing. Nelson
Rittenhouse used some choice ex-
pressions about this practice one
day while he and | watched the
blockade. And Nelson is no SLOUGH
when it comes to choice expression.
But what he says is just what all
motorists think.
At times there are more than fifty
automobiles held up in single line,
reaching over into New Hope and
even along Main street on the Lam
bertville side.

BUREAU HEAD IN FIGHT WITH
VETERAN
Thomas B. Beaver, of Houston,
Texas, got tired of the i'll treat
ment he had been receiving from
physicians appointed by the Vet
Grams Bureau, and on Monday, July
7, he went to Washington to get
some action. He got it.
Deaver, who claims disabilities
caused by overseas service, had been
examined by three different doctors,
and all of them refused to approve
his application for rehabilitation.
Thereupon Beaver took his claim
to headquarters, demanding new
examination in the office of the
Bureaus Director, Brigadier Cen
eral Hines. Hines agreed to new
examination, but refused to have it
made in his offices. 1t seemed that
Beaver insisted on this because he
thought he would have better
chance at fair play.
Thereupon an argument ensued,
and in the fracas Beaver slammed
Hines for row of tomato cans.
Reports say that Hines suffered a
cash over the left eye and other
bruises which required medical at
tention. Afterwards bureau officials
said that no charges would be filed
against Deaver.

THOUGHTLESSNE THAT
BREEDS DISEASE

The swimming facilities of LAM
bertville are becoming more ap-
preciated each year. The shallow
ness of the Delaware at this point,
while affording excellent bathing
where the bottom gradually slopes,
does not afford swimming and div
ing sufficient to satisfy good SWIM
mers. Accordingly, the canal makes
a greater appeal to them.
But there is menace existing in
the garbage that is constantly being
thrown into the canal from homes
backing on the canal. Certainly this
is thoughtlessness on the part Of
householders who do it. They should
stop to realize that this breeds
disease. A consideration for others
should influence them to stop the
practice.
And also it should be remembered
that this is violation of the State
Health Laws. Should this be pressed
before the State Board of Health
it might mean serious consequences
But it is to be hoped that the
menace will be discontinued before
it becomes necessary to invoke the
law. Be little thoughtful of others
1T pays in the long run.

Williams Jennings Bryan, who has

live up to his reputation of old. He
bitterly opposed Davis for the nom

building roads in this vicinity had
refused to hire service men and citi-

Under the provisions of the state
contract for road work, the con-
tractor is supposed to hire first, SER
vice men, second, citizens of towns
and cities near the road to be built,
third, citizens of the United States,
and fourth, if these are not suf-

is alleged one contractor preferred
to hire aliens rather than ex-ser-
vice men, and brought aliens from
distant cities to fill his gangs.
