candidate must present at least
twenty-five signed petitions.
These petitions must be filed with

here are only published weekly, it
is necessary that petitions be in the
City Clerks hands by April 20.
Those signing the petitions must

The Steady
Subscriber

How dear to our heart is the
steady subscriber,
Who pays in advance at the
birth of each year.
Who lays down the money and
does it quite gladly,
And casts round the office a
halo of cheer.
He never says; "Stop it; | can
not afford it;
I'm getting more papers than
now | can read"
But always says: Send it; our
people all like it.
In fact, we all think it help
and need"
How welcome his check when it
reaches our sanctum,
How it makes our pulse
throh; how it makes our
heart dance.
We outwardly thank him; we
inwardly bless him
The steady subscriber who
pays in advance.

Claim Money Is
Lost on Phones

Testimony was introduced at the
hearing of the applicants Of the
Delaware and Atlantic Telegraph
and Telephone Company before the
Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners of New Jersey on Wednes-
day effect that the proposed new
rate will yield a return of slightly
over 6 per cent on the book value
of the property Of the Company.
it was brought out that the book
value is considerably less than the
actual value. Testimony and the
appraisal and inventory Of the pro
perty will be introduced at the next
hearing which is scheduled to be
held at Trenton on April 22nd, 1924
FARMLAND Briggs, Counsel for the
Delaware and Atlantic Company, in
his opening remarks stated that the
Company last year failed by $ll5,-
10000 to earn an interest on Dor
rowed money invested in the bust
ness. lie stated that no dividends
had been paid by the Company
since 1915, except in 1919 when one
dividend of three-fourths of one
percent was paid.
Charles w. Hazard, General Au-
ditor Of the Delaware and Atlantic
Company was the only witness ex-
amined. Various exhibits were in
PRODUCED to show the financial condi-
tions Of the Company. The book
value of the property was shown to
be Sf9,840,0 100000. Of this amount the
Company this year, if the present
rates will continue, will earn $575,-
10000 or just under 3 per cent.
The construction program for the
next five years calls for the in
stallation of 10000 new telephones,
which must be financed by new mon
ey attracted to the business. The
new rates are intended to increase
the revenues sufficiently to make it
possible to pay interest charges
and a dividend which will make it
possible to attract new capital to
the business.

The grave illness of Senator La
Toilette, who at sixty-nine is strik-

garded as highly inimical to the
hopes of those who desire third

margin-has served to convince poll
teal observers here that Mr.. Cool
idge's nomination is certainty.
The hopes of the third-party -ites
have been increasing with the in
crease of that certainty. But the
physical breakdown of La Toilette
has served to dash their hopes. The
story of La Follette's mental break

staunchest supporters, who believe
that even if he RECEIVERS his health

THIRD PARTY SEEMS DOOMED
WITH LAFOLLETTE'S ILLNESS

what kind of bootleg whiskey
did Jess Smith carry to Roxie Stin-
sons house on those weekend visits
to his ex-wife?" this is the ques-
ton everyone is now asking as
Senator Wheeler and his colleagues
continue to broadcast Rockies bed
time Stories" Her latest is that
five men made profit of $33,000,-
600 in Sinclair Oil. She says Jess
Smith told her so. But Senator
Wheeler and his colleagues would
not permit Mr., Daugherty's attor-
neys to ask her who the five men
were. Even they saw how ridicu-
lous was the story, inasmuch as all
the men who ever made money out
of Sinclair Oil in its entire exis-
tence could not have made anything
like that sum. At best, the bootleg
must be responsible for three of the
ciphers. Close upon Roxie's fantas-
tic tale came AL Jennings, former
otLi2WS WIN ttStilltu Iildt Jane Ild-
mon told him he paid paid $1,000
5000 to secure Mr.. Harding's nomin-
alton; that Mr.. Daugherty got $780,
900, Senator Penrose like sum,
Win Hays $4,000, etc. OF course
it is entirely possible Jake Hamon
told that to Al-Jake is dead and
can't deny it--but if he did, it
merely shows how easy Jake thought
it was to string reformed bandit.
Those who were at the Chicago
convention-and your correspondent
was one of them-know the story is
merely a Pigment of the imagination,
or poor sort of Joke designed to
fool the man to whom it was told.
Wheeler is having bad luck with his
investigation. The gossip he is elicit
ing is so prepesterous that he is
making the investigation more and
more ridiculous, as of course it was
bound to be with its complete
political denomination and purpose.
