fantry, and was killed either the
Goth or 9th of September, 1918.
Charles Eveland, local veteran, is
supposed to have been the last man
of his outfit who saw him alive. He
met his death during the Mont
Faucon drive, and during the hot
lighting that attended his death, was
either not found or was not identi-
fed His body still lies in France.

angle at the intersection of Bridge
and Ferry streets, and it was there

on Memorial Day. Gordon Cooper,
member Of the local post, made the
dedcatory address. When the flag
was unfurled it released a shower
Of small American flags which fit

the ground TINT spirit Of patriotism
which gives birth to freedom and
multiplies to replentish the earth

Lambertville-At the Thursday
evening meeting, May %, of the
Board of Commissioners it was de
cided to change the night of meet
inc to Tuesday evenings. In view of
the feet that one of the first acts
of the new Commission provided for
the newspapers to be supplied with
copies of the minutes SO that the
public could keep informed on it's
actions, it was deemed best to hold
the meetings earlier in the week
so that both local papers could
carry reports Of the meetings each
week.
Commissioner Hayhurst was au-
thorized TO approve purchases de-
manded for the needs of the Fire
Department, and Mayor Moonan was
authorized to make similar APP
prevails in emergencies demanding
action in public safety and provis-
ions for the poor.
Application was received from
Levi o. Reynolds for the position of
street oyerseer. This was taken I'M
der consideration. Commissioner Hay
hurst was authorized to secure Il
caretaker for the city lot on York
street.
William Coleman. colored, applied
for the position as dog catcher, and
he was directed to meet with the
Commission on Wednesday night.
The city has had no dog catcher,
and as a result the dogs in the
community have not been licensed
according to law While owners of
valuable dogs always secure licenses
for their dogs, others of doubtfull
breed are allowed to roam the
streets without, Provision for pay
ment of the dog catcher allows $1.0o
for each one caught and killed. The
dog catched, however. has the priv
ilcRe of selling them if the pur-
shasers will provide licenses for
them. and in such events he pays the
city Sl00 and keeps the balance
he secures as purchase price.
Commissioner Cooper, as city
treasurer, reported that bond OF
$4,000 had been provided by Hol-
combe & McCraeken Agency.

as compared with the publicity they
gain when they illuminate in Senate
and House and enjoy the printing of
their remarks in the Congressional
Record. These considerations may
prompt them to join the insurgents
to defeat the Republicans. On the
other hand, Democrats who come
from close districts are anxious to
get through and go home to mend
their fences.
That Congress has deliberately
made the United States pull the
beard of Japan and has thus courted
war is the conviction of most high
ranking officers of the army and
navy, who add that this country
is wholly unprepared for war with
Japan at this time and that nothing
could have been more unwise and
unpatriotic than to take action re-
garded as an insult by every Jap
anese, when the same end, the ex-
clusion of the Japanese, could easily
have been accomplished by diplo-
matte and unoffensive means. AL
most as if to confirm the view that
1t has deliberately created cause for
war, the House has just appropria-
ted $150,000000 to be expended on
the navy and in part, at least, to
bring the existing fleet up to
date. It's entirely possible the Senate
may not act on this bill before ad-
Journment but if it does not it will
only mean a delay until next winter.
Whether Congress adjourns early
or late the summer will be marked
by two Investigations of prohibit
ton enforcement, one conducted by
Senator Couzens of Michigan with.
presumably, Francis j. Heney, mob
lest muck-raker of them all, as its
special counsel, the other run by
Rep. Cable of Ohio and his COM
mittee on Alcoholic Liquor Traffic.
which has just held its first meet
ing in five years. As everyone knows
there have been grave defects in
prohibition enforcement but there
is a wide difference of opinion as to
where the responsibility lies. In the
Internal Revenue Bureau there are
broad intimations that Congressman
are largely to blame because of the
character of the men they have, not
only enthusiastically endorsed but,
have practically insisted should be
appointed prohibition agents.

SAYS LAFOLLETTE'S THIRD PARTY
THREAT IS SCHEME FOR REVENGE
Other Vital Questions Interestingly Discussed
By Washington Correspondent.

Senator La Follette's latest pro-
nunciamento is everywhere regarded
as confirming tn long entertained
belief that the Wisconsinite purposes
to run for president on an indepen-
dent ticket. Already petitions are
being circulated asking that electors
for La Toilette be placed on the
ballots. Just what La Follettes pur-
pose is none can surmise. He knows
he cannot be elected. He knows that
his candidacy can have only one of
two effects, either to draw from
Coolidge just enough votes to cause
the election of the Democratic can
didate, or to throw the election in
to the House because no eandi-
date has majority in the electoral
college And there is every prospect
that the latter effect of the La Fol
lettee candidacy would result in
chaos. Apparently the House will be
too evenly divided to elect Presi-
dent, in which case the election
would go to the Senate, which would
be compelled to elect as President
one of the presidential candi-
dates. La Toilette has never for
given Theodore Roosevelt for rum
ming in 1912, after La Follette's
spectacular breakdown in Philadel-
phia. This fact leads many to be-
lieve that his motive is purely a
desire for revenge, a determination
that the Republican party, because
it will not give him the nomination,
shall not win. But whatever his mo-
tive there is no denying the fact
that his apparent purpose is occas-
ioning serious anxiety among the
leaders of both parties.
approached the Democrats with
proposition to form coalition to
prevent adjournment on June 7, as
is desired by the Republicans. There
is no question that if the Democrats
will accede to the wishes of the in
surgents they can accomplish their
purpose. Whether or not to accede
is question which is sorely per-
picking the Democratic leaders. They
believe there is no rostrum compar-
able with the halls of Congress from
which to broadcast scandal and abuse
of the Republicans. They realize that
though they may shout themselves
hoarse on the stump the press will
pay little attention to their ranting,

Hiram Johnson. Two of the Presidents five
campaign managers are oil men in California.
One OF these managers, Mark L. Requa, was
once vice president of the Sinclair Consoli-
dated Oil Corporation Of which Harry F. Sin
clair was at the same time president An
other Coolidge angel in California is Ralph
Arnold, a geologist and engineer who was in
the employ of Trinidad Lake Petroleum Com
pany.
These oil experts were chosen as campaign
managers by William Butler, the Boston mil
honalre adviser of Coolidge, in a special mes
sage on the occasion of the choice of this COM
mittee. Mr.. Stearns declared: 81 heartily
approve the names suggested"
This California situation gives the lie to the
noise being made by Coolidge and his CLIQUE
that they intend to prosecute the oil thieves.

creme, who, after being decisively repudiated
In the Ohio Senatorial elections, was awarded
the lucrative job of being counsel for fifteen
railroad corporations whom he served in the
Senate by helping to put over the Esch-Cum-
minis Railroad Act, he showed his ugly hand
IN the whole oil steal. When Coolidge ap-
pointed oil men, particularly Sinclair oil Off

State as California, he drove the last nail into
the lid of the coffin in which all his innocent
pleas for political disinterestedness now lie
dead.

NetU York Rent Relief

In view Of the New York State Assemblies
voting to extend the present emergency rent
laws to 1926, the workers of the metropolis
may consider government action in the hous-
ing crisis closed.
The extension of the emergency rent laws
enacted in 1920 for two years will be hailed
by many liberals as the cure-all for the de-
plorable housing conditions of the working
masses Nothing of the kind is true. At best
the emergency rent laws only limit the speed
with which the landlords are permitted to
boost the rents skyward
The rent laws haven't helped an iota to save
the workers from oppressive rents These
laws have not been of the slightest service in
improving the sanitary conditions, the dread
ful congestion, and the general filthy, delap-
idated state of affairs in the working class
districts
The report of the New York State Commits
sion on Housing and Regional Planning is in
itself monument to the failure of these emer-
gency laws to relieve the acuteness of the
crisis. The report states very definitely that
since 1920 the housing conditions have become
steadily more miserable, bordering on disaster.
The only reason for the Legislatures quick
action In adopting unanimously the bill to ex-
tend the emergency rent laws two years is the
desire of the government to circumscrbe the
landlords policy of rule and ruin in such a
way as merely to avoid a social explosion on
the part of the suffering tenants against the
disgraceful living conditions
These laws were not re-enacted to help the
tenants. They don't strike at the huge profits
of the landlord class These laws don't even
pretend to check the persistent vicious NAL
practice of the landlords in refusing repairs
and In forcing calamitous unsanitary condi-
lions on the houses occupied by the workers.
These laws will not help the workers be-
cause they deliberately do not strike at the
root of the housing evil-the control of this
most vital necessity of the working Masses
their honesty the capitalist class for private
profits.

Poor Mr.. Mellon!

That stalwart guardian of our national
treasury, Mr.. Andrew Mellon, of Pittsburgh.
has let out wall unto the heavens against the
attempt of the democrats and insurgent re-
publicans to inject politics into the tax ques-
tion
If ever the old adage, that people who live
In glass houses should not throw stones" was
true, it is infinitely truer in this instance Mr..
Mellon has all too often used his office to help
politically and financially the powerful manu-
featuring and banking interests supporting his
party. Besides, Mr.. Mellon has, with increas-
ing frequency, more than made up for the sac
rifice he incurred when he took this 'poor
mans" job in Washington by his sundry rul-
lngs on tax payments and amortization in the
cases of the Gulf Oil Corporation, the Standard
Steel Car Company and the Aluminium Trust
Mr.. Mellon is personally and directly inter-
ested In these three gigantic concerns.
But the most timely blow yet struck at Mel
lonA hypocritical cry for non-partisanshp in
the tax question is that delivered by the re-
port Of the Bureau of Internal revenue for
1921 This report shows that one person in
Pennsylvania made return Of net income of
between two and three million dollars An
other return of net income of between one and
one and one and half million dollars was
filed in Pennsylvania. The Weather of these
persons was undoubtedly Mr.. Mellon who had
a net income of 1929, 05800 On a net in
come Of two million dollars, Mr.. Mellon would
be saving under his ''non-partisan tax scheme"
approximately $503, 100000.
When these figures are compared with the
fact that in 1921 there were AZ, 646 persons in
Pennsylvania who made returns on incomes
between three and four thousand dollars the
glazing hypocrisy of Mr.. Mellon comes into
painful clarity. AS matter of fact Mr.. Mel
lon alone would save more under his plan than
all these small taxpayers put together.
