MANY'LABOR LEADERS EXPRESS
A PREFERENCE FOR COOLIDGE

Secretary Mellon, who has Just
returned from London, is most OPP
timistic regarding the outcome of the
Dawes plan for which, he says the
United States not only deserves but
is receiving credit from all of Eur
ope. Mr.. Mellon asserts that the ben
efits which will accrue from re-es-
Establishment of peace and financial
stability in Europe will so far out
weigh any injury which might re-
suit from German competition in
the markets of the world as to
make the latter Comparatively neg
ligible." He points out that the
loan provided for by the Dawes plan
is not, in essence, loan to Ger
many, but loan for a specific pur-
pose, the rehabilitation of German
industries and commerce; that it
will constitute a lien on German
railways and industries, and that the
allied nations have formally agreed
to do nothing to impair the Sc
curity of the loan so that, even
should German default in her rep
arations payments and it become
necessary again to resort to force
or military occupation, the first
moneys collected by such means will
be applied to the payment of the
loan. For this reason the Secre-
tary believes no difficulty will be ex-
perienced in floating the loan and he
predicts that even larger sums will
be privately loaned to German in
dustries by American investors. He
says experience clearly demonstrates
that the United States was much
more potent in promoting the adop-
ton of the Dawes plan than she
could have been if she had been a
member of the League of Nations,
because as it is she is in no way in
volved in European politics and her
efforts to help have in no instance
aroused the slightest suspicion re-
garding the sincerely of her motives.

TROLLEYS STOP
NEXT SUNDAY
Removal OF Tracks From Bridge
Makes Better Flooring Possible.


The Pennsylvania--New Jersey
Railway CO. will abandon its trolley
service from Trenton via Yardley
to Newtown, New Hope and Lambert
vile next Sunday. This is in accor-
dance with decision of the Pennsyl-
vania Public Service Commission
made public last Friday. The decision
was made effective Immediately, but
the service is to be continued until
next Sunday in order that the public
may be informed before actual
discontinuance.
This will mean the removal of the
tracks from the Delaware Bridge be-
tween New Hope and Lambertville.
Work has been started for the COM
plete overhauling of this bridge,
including new flooring. The re-
moval of the tracks will enable the
Free Bridge Commission to provide
much better flooring, the specifi-
cations calling for floor timbers four
inches thick, overlaid with four
parallel lines of "a inch steel plates
where the wheels of vehicles pass.
This makes a solid floor that will not
vibrate as the old three-inch floor
ing.
MAY MEAN BETTER
BUS SERVICE
Mr.. John 7. Wilkins, owner of the
Trenton--Lambertville Bus Line,
was asked IL he thought the aban-
donment of the trolleys would create
more patronage for the busscs. He
said that the fact of the trolleys
having to discontinue because they
were not making expenses would in
dicate that they had very little pa
tronage that would use the buses in
stead. However, IL the demand arises
he will start half-hour schedule
instead of the hourly schedule now
maintained.
He is to investigate the possi-
bilities of running a bus around
New Hope TO connect with the
Trenton busses in Lambertville, and
this would show whether or not a
half hour schedule would be war;
| ranted. The borough officials have the
power to grant license for such
service in New Hope as long as the
buses would not go out of the bor-
ough limits. This would eliminate the
red tape of securing license from
the Public Service Commission,
which would be necessary if the
| service were outside of the borough
Such service by the bus line would
answer the few complaints against
the discontinuance of the trolleys
in this community. And that the
service already provided by Mr.. Will
kins is popular is proven by the fact
that he is now operating five buses
between Trenton and Lambertville.
He started with only one bus about
| two years ago. Previous to that
there had been two abortive attempts
to establish bus lines over this route
but they had been stock-selling
propositions, and had soon failed
Mr.. wilkins is to be congratulated
on his success. He has appreciably
reduced the cost Of transportation

fence that is growing into neces-
sity. The city of Lambertvlle derives
about $500 a year taxes from the
use of the streets by the buses.

would have realized how foolish was
the claim that labor is a unit for La
Toilette. A very considerable num-
ber of the most influential labor
leaders are for Coolidge and report
that their followers are as well. OF
course some are for La Toilette and
some are for Davis. The situation
this year is as it always has been,
that labor thinks for itself and diff
ferent men reach different conclu-
sions But with the prosperity and
good wages now prevailing and with
every prospect of better times ahead
If the economic situation is not upset
by a political upheaval there is no
likelihood of any great number of
laboring men being led away by
the vain promises of those who want
to tear down present prosperity to
build a new one on new and untest-
ed foundations.

who love thy law" Great peace have
they who love thy law" not always on
the mountains of rapture and ecstacy,
but always we have peace that sur
passeth all understanding. .'The Lord
does not leave those who love his law
in the hands of the wicked, nor does
He condemn them when judged" Why
not? Because Christ is the end of
the law for righteousness to every one
that believeth" Blessed is the man
unto whom God imputeth righteous
ness. Blessed are they whose iniqui-
ties are forgiven, whose sins are COW
cred. Blessed is the man to whom the
Lord will not impute sin" Why not?
Not because we are perfect. We are
blameless, but not faultless. Our love
for Christ who is able to keep US from
falling and through his mercy will
present us to The Father, has broken
the moral fastenings of our nature and
with the love that fulfills his law is
seated in the warmest affections of our
hearts. Our weakness, infirmities, er-
rors in judgment, sins committed in
our ignorance, are all met in the pro-
vision made in the Atonement, for it is
our supreme love for God, the Holy
Triune God, ana FOR our neighbor, that
gives quality and character to the lives
that we are now living.
Thus in His name and with the Abid-
ing Christ within, we go forth to fight
our battles and win our victories
As the majestic oak, the tall pines,
the coloring naples, the palm and
eedars, fulfill all growth, beauty and
ripeness in seed and root and in fo1i-
| age of red. crimson, scarlet, purple
and golden colors, as seen on our
lawns, in our parks, lining our streets,
and making beautiful our roadways
through country districts on either
side, so Love that is the fulfilling of
the law fulfills all laws for self and
man and the all-Loving God, our
Father
