WHERE IS DEMARCATION LINE

To o greater or less degree, from
time immemoral, every grocery in
Newark has preempted space on the
sidewalk in front of the store where
on to display goods, as have also all
the fruit stores to an even greater eX
tent, and about half the streets in the
city are ornamented with huge gaso-
line pumping outfits, free air ma
chimes and other similar contraptions;
some dealers even going so far as to
erect cute little cottages on the side
walk to protect their outfits from the
inclemencies of the weather.
Nobody kicked, it was taken as a
matter of course, in fact as a public
benefit.
All this being true, some people are
vainly endeavoring to solve the prob
lem presented by the arrest and plac
ing in the city prison, as stated in a
city daily, Of highly respected citi-
zen and prominent business man for
failing to obey an order to remove a
small heating fulnance placed in front
of his place Of business for advertis-
ing purposes.
The victim in this case happens to
be the man whose advertising skits on
public affairs have recently excited a
large amount of public attention.
