THE OBITUARY OF 1872

In memorable speech delivered
by Joseph G.. Cannon before the Mid
dlesex club in Boston April 80,
1910, the speaker referred to the
campaign of 1872 as follows;
"In May, 1872, the metropolitan
press of the country announced the
dissolution of the Republican party
and began to prepare its obituary.
But the Republican party organized
by Lincoln, under whose leadership
the Union had been preserved and
the amendments to the Constitution
adopted, believing in the policy of
protection and having written that
policy into law, could not be con-
trolled by leaders or by the press.
The men who formed the combination
reckoned without the great body
of the people; they were not repre-
senting the people, but their own
selfish ambitions. Those who made
up the rank and file of the Repub-
lican party did not attempt to COM
promise with the enemies of the pol
icies of their party, but, turning
their faces to the foe proclaimed
anew their devotion to the economic
principles of the Republican party.

opening line of the editorial was,
"If Henry Ford were to double the
price of his car he wouldn't make
so much money as he is getting

The ludicrous thing about it is
that Josephus seems so dumb that
he doesn't expect people to detect
these frauds. And then on the face
of it sings mud at this paper for
reproducing a simple item from an
exchange newspaper.
Whenever you read an editorial
in the Wapentake that intelligently
discusses national affairs, even tho
no credit is given to the paper from
which it is taken, you can safely
conclude that it was stolen. To the
conscientious newspaper man, this
is the most despicable form of

A man who is guilty of such

newspaper for reproducing simple

INK FROM OTHER

Humorous and Serious Topics

A POOR WAY TO FIGURE

The President signed the new tax
bill virtually under protest He says
it has bad features but is the best
that can be secured from the present
Congress.
Our lawmakers were determined
to "soak the rich," as the term is
commonly expressed. Coupled with
this idea, however, they absolutely
refused to sanction the repeal of
laws which permit the issuance of
billions of dollars of tax-exempt
bonds.
Therefore, while they try to "soak
the rich" with one tax bill, they fur
nish the means for any one who
wishes to do so, to invest his money
in tax-exempt securities and there
by escape all forms of taxation.
Not only does the government lose
hundreds of millions annually in tax
revenue due to tax-exempt bonds, but
private industry must pay higher
rates of interest for every dollar
which goes into highly taxed bust
ness and industrial enterprises.
Maybe Congress will some day
see the folly of trying to collect
taxes on the one hand, while pro-
viding legitimate means to escape
tax payments ON the other hand.
If the income from money which
goes into tax-exempt bonds paid its
share of taxes, the tax burden OF
all could be further reduced

WHY AN EDITORIAL PAGE?
By Marcy B. Darnall,
Editor, Florence, Ala, Herald

Given an editor with the cap
acity for straight thinking and
fearless writing, the editorial
page is one of the most valu-
able assets of local newspa-
per. If the editor be narrow
minded, prejudiced or spineless,
he had better not write editor
ials at all.
By fearless writing is not
meant the attacking of institu-
tions or individuals for the sake
of gaining notoriety or playing
to the gallery. 1t requires no
courage to condemn that which
is unpopular or defenseless
True fearlessness on the part
of a small-town editor consists
rather in voicing his honest
opinions on matters affecting
his community, whether they
coincide with the prevailing
public sentiment or not.
If you want your editorial
page to be read, you must put
something into it which will
make your readers think. If you
do not, they will soon quit read
ing it altogether. A poor ex-
cuse may be better than none,
but a weak, colorless editorial
page is worse than none.
1t is easy, however, to go to
the other extreme. Some edi-
tors appear to think it neces-

DECEIvING FIGURES

Some business men are wearing
long faces because the railroads
have over 100000 idle freight cars
that are in good repair and ready
to use and about 10000 other cars
that are laid up for repairs.
The total is staggering, at first
glance. But the Importance of
everything is only by comparison.
The railroads own over two and a
quarter million freight cars. The
actual situation is that, out of every
% cars, Is are being used constant
ly and only five are idle. That's not
so bad.

LET GUILTY MEN REM EMBER,
THEIR BLACK DEEDS DO LEAN

DER REEDSr
John Webster.

Josephus Wapentake, in last week S
issue of his so-called newspaper, (the
name of which, by dropping the
"e", meaning the rump end of a
hog,) gave voice to the crouch of a
man who criticized this paper for
repeating n simple news item from
the Doylestown Intelligencer. We
did repeat the item, because the In
telligencer and this paper extend to
each other the Exchange Courtesy"
The lntelligencer constantly uses
items from this paper, and we con
slider it an endorsement, because we
think the Intelligencer is good
newspaper and wouldn't use items
from an inferior paper. visited
Mr.. Hotchllss, editor of the Intelli-
gencer, when | first came here.
extended to him the courtesy of
Exchange" and received the same
courtesy from him in return. So
that's that!
The man who sent the above men
toned item to the lntelligencer or
dered his subscription discontinued
to this paper, and that balance due
on it be paid to Samuel Morse for
the Firemen's Ambulance Fund. As
this man only paid us $1.00, and has
received the paper for more than
half that amount, there would be
only forty-one and two-thirds cents
balance. We would be ashamed to
hand over to the Fund such a plea
yune amount. But subscription,
like any other contract, cannot be
cancelled without the consent of both
contracting parties However, as we
have always contributed to local inn
provements as far as our means
would allow, we expect to help the
Firemen's Ambulance Fund, and have
already said as much to member
of the Committee. Mr.. Morse will
receive a check for $4.00 as soon
as he calls on us.
But the ludicrous thing about the
Wapentake's attack on us lies in the
fact that Josephus is guilty of the
most contemplate plagiarism known
to the newspaper world, (I don't ex-
pect him to know what that word
means, so I'll give the definition;
"PLAGIARISM act of stealing and
using another's ideas, words, ETC.;
literary theft; the writing or other
matter that is stolen and used"
Some months ago the Hunterdon
Democrat frankly stated in print
that the Wapentake had weak
editorial page. ct would have been
more truthful to have said that It
had none at all) And since that
time Josephus has been trying to
bolster up his so-called editorial
page. In doing so he has constantly
stolen editorials from others and
used them in his column. 1t is evil
dent that he can't write respec-
table editorial himself.
For instance: The Manufacturer,
monthly magazine, sends out week
ly editorial sheets from its Indus
trial News Bureau. 1t is good stuff,
and constantly reproduce some of
their editorials in the column on this
page, "Ink From Other Presses"
and always give credit to the Man

VETERANS WHO SUFFER
WITH DREAD DISEA

WITH DREAD DISEASE
Times hangs heavy on the hands
of the sixteen veterans of the World
War who are doing battle at the
federal colony at Carville, La. with
the most dreadful of diseases, lep-
rosy. These men contracted the
white death" while serving with
the A. f. F. in Russia.
And as they wait in the slow
process of their cure by the ehaul-
moogra oil treatment, their spirit
beats in angry, bitter, throat-clutch-
ing rebellion against their prison
walls, those walls which shut them
off like a tomb from their fellow
men and the pleasures of the great
world outside.
Desperate, haunted by the bitter
ness of it all, one of the boys re-
Gently made a dash for freedom
Escaping, he wandered about for
months. Wherever he went, he was
Stunned as an evil thing. His
fellows fled at his approach.
At last he gave up in despair.
Back to the colony he came, to wait
| for times slow healing and the day
when he might go forth clean.
Hearing of the plight of these
men, women of the Louisiana Depart
ment of The American Legion Auxil-
iary are ministering to them. Stiff
ling the dread and aversion inspired
by the disease, they went in person
to the colony. They saw conditions
for themselves. They learned what
could be done. No secondhand re-
ports satisfied them.
They are doing many things to re-
lieve the veterans sufferings to re-
assure these men that they are not
forgotten and are helping them to
while away the time that passes so
slowly.
Perhaps the most enjoyed of the
things the Auxiliary women have
furnished is the fully equipped
kitchenette which has been installed.
Here the boys may cook their own
meals. They also have their own
mess-kits, reminiscent of army days.
Here they may free themselves now
and then from the weary routine
of mess hall fare.
The Auxiliary sends big boxes of
foods to the veterans. Their appe-
tites have not been dulled in the
least by the disease which afflicts
| them.
The Lambertville record., 1924-06-26

Amusements have been provided
by the Auxiliary. Motion picture
shows have been arranged for once
each week. A high-powered radio
set has been installed. Reading mat
ter galore has been provided for the
Carville library. All this, and much
more besides, the Legion Auxiliary
has done. And, when one of the b US
loses in the struggle, the Auxiliary
has arranged that his body shall be
