y WHICH ARE YOU?

In the lexicon of politics a IRE
acti@nary" is one who believes that
government was created for the peo-
pie ard mot the people for the
governments; who. also believes in
economy in public affairs and in
the preservation of tried and proven
policies rather than in the exploita-
ton of fads where common sense
teaches that such exploitation car
lead but to disaster.
On the other hand progressive
is one vino takes up with every fad
and withoat thought of the conse-
quenees proceeds blindly to over
throw tried and proven policies for
innovations neither tried, proven
nor within the pale of common sense.
In other words, if you believe in
public ecofSmy--in protecting the
taxpayer against the tax-eater, you
are "reactiorary". If you believe
in letting the sax-eater run a
vacuum cleaner through the tax
payers pocket, you arc progress

TAX EXEMPT
OFFERING INCREASE

The output of tax-free securities
during first half of 1924 exceeds all
previous records, being nearly $3.50,
000,0 00-three times output for en-
tire year of 1918.
The urgent demand of wealth for
an avenue of escape from taxation
has created a ready market for
these securities, encouraging taxing
authorities to plunge communities
recklessly into debt. "The Bond Buy
er of June 28, reviewing the situa-
ton says:
Gust about one hundred import
ant offerings of State, municipal and
Federal Land Bank bonds which have
been offered in the New York mar
ket since January 1st aggregate
slightly more than 100000, or
an average of $5,0O0,00O per issue.
"fotaI of all State and municipal
financing for six months ending June
30th is estimated at not less than
$500 100000. If to this we add $95,
100000 Federal Land Bank and num-
erous Joint Stock Land Bank is
sues, the aggregate of tax-exempt
securities flotations for the six
months will come very close tc
three-quarters of billion"
With the income from this vast
wealth escaping taxation, the loat

THE JUDGE ADVISED

There was understanding
case before the court. The culprit
pleaded guilty, and was duly sem
fenced. But the circumstances of
the case had provoked the curiosi-
ty of the judge, so that he ques-
toned the darby as to how he had
managed to take those chickens
and carry them off right under the
window of the owners house. and
that with savage dog loose in
the yard. But the thief was not
minded to explain. He said:
"Hit wouldn't be no use, ledge,

ROWDYISM IN NEW HOPE

Considerable complaint has arisen
from residents in the vicinity of
Bridge and Main streets in New
Hope against the nightly distur-
Dances created by a rowdy element
They yelp like jaekafs and bray like
jackasses. And their language is
only fit for the dung heap.
Already there has been discussions
on the possibilities of securing a
State Trooper to be stationed in
the borough. This is entirely prac-
ticaf, as the River Bridge is the
only place of crossing between
Washington Crossing and Lumber
Vile. This is d distance of thirteen
and a half miles. Thus the Lam
bertville-New Hope Bridge is a
strategic point for experimenting
criminals from large sections of
New Jersey and Pennsylvania if
they attempt to escape from one
state to the other.
Morrisville secured Il State Troop
er with the aid of the Free Bridge
Commission, and he is constantly on
duty near the bridge approach New
Hope would do well to follow this
example. They could count on the
aid of the Bridge Commission in
the same way. A State Trooper
could check the menace of rowdy-
ism in the borough, and it would
place no expense on the community.
The State Troopers in Lambert
vile have worked wonders in pre-
serving order. New Hope should not
get the reputation of fowdys
paradise.

A CHALLENGE TO
SENATOR AGANS


Announcement is made in this is
sue of the candidacy for State Sierra
or of DR.. Charles E. Wagg, prom
inent Lambertviile dentist. DIR. Wagg
is challenging Senator David Fl,
Agans for the Democratic nomina-
ton at the September primaries.
This is timely announcement,
and DR.. Wagg is timely candidate.
He is a staunch Democrat who has
been an earnest worker in the
ranks of his party. And this assures
him of cooperation from his party
at Trenton if he is sent to the
Senate.
Senator Agans has chad Hunter
don County Democrats by the tail
with down-hill pulp for three
years IN the Senate, and for several
years in the Assembly before that.
During that time he has never
seemed able to deliver the goods. u
As a result there il lot of dis
satisfaction among hrs constituents.
Thus DR.. Wagg is a timely can
didate, and apart from his wide
political affiliations he is prominent
in fraternal circles. He is an Odd
Fellow of long standing, and ranks
high in the Masonic fraternity.

the conviction that of all men who
ever set pen to paper only one could
have written them. The marks of
Conrad on page are as definite az
this. He is traceable through con-

"Youth" is probably his greatest

salt water. His tales are one long
Odyssey told by an 0dysseus who

that life must end, that it ends
