THE WALL STREET
SCARE" EXPLODED

Big capital has been fairly STAN
peded into tax-exempt public secur-
tiles to escape industrial taxes.
Productive industry found it hard to
finance itself, until it took up the
small-investor field.
Small investors in the past five
years have remade the American
attitude toward capital by showing
that it is simply the saving of their
own labor of yesterday invested in
new undertakings.
Some profess to be frightened be-
cause "Wall Street" stocks adyanc.
ed Immediately after the election.
Inasmuch as Wall Street is popula-
ted by 100000 sober Americans
who have bought the nations in
dustrial securities and are running
the nations business, the advance
will be benefit to many.
If these securities were to decline
the small investor would suffer
while tax-exempt securities, with a
guaranteed strangle-hold on the ma
tons revenues, would stand higher
than working industrials.
There is small virtue in the tax
exempt securities plan. 1t does not
fairly distribute the obligations of
citizenship, and it should be abolish

LAYING 1T ON THICK

Traffic guides Of the mushroom
variety have been placed at the
most important street corners in
Lambertville. At Bridge and Union
streets FOUR of them have been
installed-one each at the four in
tersections.
In Trenton, Philadelphia and New
York, (and other such cities whose
traffic COMPOSITIONS are not as great
as in Lambertville,) they have found
that economy and expediency make
it necessary to place only one such
traffic guide at street intersections.
Evidently the city fathers in the
above named villages were so dense
that they actually thought that one
guide in the centre of the intersec-
tions was sufficient to keep traffic
to the right

THE KHAN STILL
CELEBRATING"


1.-THE Ku Klux Khan is quite with
in it's right in proclaiming the re-
cent election a sweeping victory for
the brotherhood of bigots. This does
not mean that every one who voted
for President Coolidge is Klans-
man, but it does mean that the
Klansmen voted for the victor.
1.-THE Fellowship Forum, the or
gan of the Khan in the national CAPT.
tai, declares that the result of the
1924 Presidential election was a
sweeping triumph for the cause and
another Declaration of Independence
and a message to the pope
"The meaning is clear enough. Mr..
Davis and Mr.. LaFollette denounc-
ed the bigots and Mr.. Coolidge
refused at any time even to criti-
else it in any of its manifestations
or principles. Mr.. Dawes paid a
glowing tribute to its purposes.
GAS we contended throughout the
campaign, the sheeted army felt
that it had ticket in the field. The
triumph of that ticket is naturally
interpreted in the conclusions of the
Fellowship Forum. There is no one
in the White House who has open
ly criticised it. Its open enemies have
been defeated. The bonfires and the
crosses are still flaming on the hill
tops."-N. Y. Evening World. dem

THE AGE OF INNOCENCE is
A THING OF THE PAST

In the old days the age of inno-
cence in children made Christmas a
very beautiful thing. The faithful
belief in Santa Claus and his rein
deer was lovely thing to behold.
But the children of this genera
ton are wiser than the serpent. "
They begin making wise cracks
about Santa Claus and the origin
of babies by the time they first
crawl out of the cradle,-if they
have cradle, Most of them are
rocked in an automobile.
Instead of being raised on moth
er's milk they are nurtured on drug
store concoctions, and soon are
weaned from that to the virtuous
Cd habit of Pro-Volstead nectar
which has been the chip oiI' in
vogue since the blessings of prohi-
bition began.
And they are missing lott There
is no thrill to equal that of the
mystic visit of Santa Claus; no sus-
pense so sweet as that which grows
as Christmas approaches. And the
parents who ignore this sweet faith
are depriving their children of the
blessedness of innocence.

REWARD COMES LATE

A feat of valor on the battlefields
of the Philippines twenty-three years
ago has just been recognized by the
U. S. War Department. Lieutenant
Colonel Clenard Mclaughlin, U. S.
A., who is stationed at the Pennsyl-
vania State College as head of the
department of military science and
tactics, was in the Philippines in
1901. He has just received a cita-
ton for gallantry in action at that
time against insurgents at Dugot,
Luzon, from authorities in Wash
ington. 1t authorizes the placing of
silver star on the Philippine cam
paign medal worn by the Penn State
faculty member. General Leonard
Wood recently received similarly
belated award for Philippine service.

VIOLATING THE FREE
DOM GUARANTEED BY
THE CONSTITUTION

The threat involved in the attempt
by Congress to restrain the print
ing of public records attacks the
freedom of the press at its very
foundations. The First Amendment
to the Federal Constitution declares:
Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the
press; or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble,
and to petition the government
for a redress of grievances"
1t is of the essence of the free
dom thereby guaranteed to the
press of America that there shall
be no governmental suppression of
news. If Congress could restrain the
press from printing the amount
of taxes paid after they had been
made accessible to the general pub
lie could it not be urged that it
might equally restrain the press
from publishing any other public
event? In democracy the news
papers are the eyes and ears of the
people. Only a small percentage of
the voters may by personal presence
hear the proceedings in their legis-
latures and their courts and exam
inc the records in their collectors
offices. That knowledge there OBJ
tainable by the few may be kept
from the many by suppression of
newspaper publication is an unthink-
able proposition.--N. Y. Tribune.

VANDALS WHO DESERVE
PUNISHMENT

At this season of the year thou
sands of motorists from the cities
are carrying axes in their cars with
which to cut Christmas trees. 1t
makes no difference to them how
valuable trees may be-in their bru-
tai enthusiasm of so-called Christ
mas Spirit" they go hacking right
and left all over the country.
Last year two valuable trees were
cut from the property of Senator
VIM. II. Blackwell on the River Road
above Titusville. These trees were
highly priced as part of hedge
line along his orchard beside the
road. He offered thousand dollars
reward for apprehension of the cul-
prits.
The rapidly diminishing stock of
all trees in this country has so
alarmed the government that string
ent steps are being taken to curtail
the useless waste. Laws are being
passed to protect our forests for
future needs. Departments of Con-
servation and Development in all
states are now making pleas that
artificial trees be used, or none at
all.
OF course there are many scrub
trees that can be spared. But the
ruthless vandal will not cut them
he wants only the choice trees. Pro-
perty owners can have them i'm
prisoned, and they should protect
their property. Get the license num-
bers of those you see cutting trees,
and report them to the Motor We
hicle Department.

Water supply company officers

prevention measures, are giving

ment, Hoboken, N. j., as follows
A crack in your chimney is a
sure sign that you are going to
move.
To see paper hanger hang
paper over a fue hole indicates an
impending loss.
1t is worse luck to look in a
dark closet with a lighted match
than to see the new moon over
your left shoulder.
When the wind means it is ex-
tremely bad luck to burn trash
near house.
If you smell gas or gasoline and
look for it with lighted match, it
is probable that you are about to
start on long journey.
If you have pile of rubbish in
your cellar, it indicates that a
crowd of people are coming to your
house.

A similar amount in household
cleaning may cause three auto fire
trucks and an ambulance to run a
similar distance.
