LA FoLLETFE's TOP NOTE

In his Kansas City speech Senator
La Toilette reached the summit of
the ridiculous when he said:
"If the combined nations of the
earth moved ON our coast defenses
| have the highest military author
ity for saying that men manned
with pitchforks could dispose of
them"
This outdoes the declaration of
Williams Jennings Bryan that in
case of war million men would be
in arms overnight. Senator La Fol
lette should have seen the ZR-3 this
morning. 1t would take tall man
and long pitchfork to reach that
instrument of potential destruction
Who can Senator La Follette's
"highest military authority" be
Perhaps Captain Jinks Of the Horse
Marines is the military strategist
of the third ticket campaign.-New

LET THE VOTERS DECIDE


We have repeatedly claimed that
Charles S. Alvater is asking entire
ly too much of the voters and tax
payers of Hunterdon County when
he asks them to make him 1Surro-
gate in addition to the political APP
pointment he already holds as Motor
Vehicle Agent.
Mr.. Alvater replied to this the
Motor Vehicle job pays only small
salary. He also said in public
speech at Pennington that he was
appointed eight or nine years ago
at "the munifcent salary of $3.50
year, half of which was used
for expenses"
We have just received copy of
the. Eighteenth Annual Report of
the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.
And we believe our readers and all
fair-minded voters will agree with
us that Mr.. Alvater is asking too
much when we tell them that on
page 2S of this report il is plainly
stated that his salary as Motor We
hicle Agent for 1924 is $500.
The law provides a maximum sal
airy for Motor Vehicle Agents of
$500. Mr.. Alvater now admits that
his salary last year was 81 400, but
he does not mention the increase
this year to S2,100. However. he
does say that with the appointment
of two new Motor Vehicle Agents
in this County there is a likelihood
of his salary being greatly re-
duced. But the Hampton appoint
ment was made last year, and for
this year the Motor Vehicle Com
missioner reports salary for that
office of S1,150. And in spite of
that Mr.. Alvater's salary was in
creased to $1,000, for this year. This
does not look like decrease for
Mr.. Alvater. For motor registra-
lions continue to increase, and there
is every likelihood that Mr.. Alva-
ter's salary will soon reach the
maximum of $3,5000.
We do not believe that Mr.. Alva-
ter can do justice to the taxpayers
by holding two important political
offices at the same time.

DONNELLY PAYS EDGE
A COMPLIM ENT

In a speech at Newtown last
Monday night f. w. Donnelly
"Rough-Neck" candidate for the u
S. Senate, paid Senator Walter E.
Edge a very high compliment. Tho
of course he didn't intend it that
way.
Donnelly said, edge doesn't dare
defy the Khan. / don't say he's a
member, but | do say HE is A
KLUXER AT HEARTH
Those who read the large Khan
advertisement carried in this paper
recently will remember that it read
THE KU KLUX KHAN
STANDS FOR
l. The tenets of the Christian
Religion.
2. White supremacy.
3. Protection of our pure woman
hood.
4. just laws and liberty.
5. Closer relationship of pure
Americanism.
6. The UNFOLDING of the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
z. The separation of Church and
State.
8. Freedom of Speech and Press.
9. Closer relationship between
Capital and Labor.
10. Prevention of the cause of
mob violence and lynchings.
IL. Preventing unwarranted strikes
by foreign labor agitators.
IL. Prevention of fires and de-
struction of property by lawless
elements.
Is. The limitation of foreign i'm

Can you find anything wrong with
these principles?
Yes, we think Mr. Donnelly paid
Mr.. Edge a very high compliment.

T. D l T o r l A L S
is THIS FREEDOM OF SPEECH?

This country was settled by pion-
GERS with the courage of their con-
victions to worship God according
to the dictates of their own hearts.
Freedom Of speech was made a
corner stone in the structure of our
government. And it is a deplorable
thing that minister of God should
be intimidated and threatened for
conducting religious service for
the edification Of Christian Citizen
ship.
Rev. f. E. Purcell, pastor of
Centenary Methodist Church in
Lambertville, conducted such ser
vice for, according to his announce
ment,) "The p. o. S. of A., p. o..
of A., Junior Order of Mechanics
and all other patriotic orders and
citizens" And when it became known
that "other patriotic orders includ-
ed the Khan, determined efforts were
made to intimidate Mr.. Purcell to
prevent the meeting being held And
a deplorable fact of the case is that
such an intimidation should have
been made by member of the
church, and with misleading state
ments in his newspaper.
Mr.. Purcell is to be commended
for standing on the principles of
freedom of speech and worship.

PRlNCE OF WALES
The recent visit to this country
of the Prince of Wales gave many
the impression that he is pleasure

must be remembered that his visit
here was vacation. All of us try
to leave our cares and worries
behind when we go on vacation, and
that is just what the Prince did in
this country.
One of his countrymen said re-
Gently in an interview to Boston
newspaper that the Prince of Wales
has a nature deeply sympathetic,
and that his serious sense of res
possibility is very marked The fol-

the serious character of the Prince:

AS THEIR HEADS

"And our Father if Thou canst
bless the pacifieists; if Thou canst
do nothing else for them, our
Father, we pray that Thou wouldst
make their hearts as soft as their
heads are The above excerpt from
the opening prayer of National
Chaplain Ezra Clemens, at the Ma
tional Convention of the American
Legion in st. Paul, created a ripple
If laughter throughout the thirty
thousand Legionnaires as they stood
with bowed heads, and the sentiment
expressed in the prayer seemed to

BODY OF WAR HERO RE-
TURNED TO NEWTOWN

On October Is the body of 1t
Marcel Smith, of Newtown, was
returned to that town from France
for burial. A military funeral was
conducted by a detachment of vet
Grams from Trenton.
Lieutenant Smith, who was the
son of Dir. and Mrs. Charles B.
Smith, was reported missing during
action six years ago. After the close
IF the World War, when bodies of
American soldiers were returned to
This country, Lieutenant Smiths was
not among them. 1t had never been
found.
During an address here almost a
year ago, the Rev. Robert N. Gear
heart. Jr., former senior chaplain
of the Seventy-eighth Division, gave
the first clue to Lieutenant Smiths
death. He told of the Newtown boy
leading a detachment of soldiers
to reconnoitre the enemy's lines,
and never returning. 1t is believed
that the body was located by the
Government on this information.

A BUSY AND HAPPY MONTH

busy shopping or making tidy things
for gifts; the ministers and church
workers are happy in ministering to
the wants of the needy in body and
