Cities Of southern Sweden were
among the greatest commercial cen
ters of the civilized world during the
Middle ages. Stockholm and Lund
ranked with London and Paris, says
the Family Herald. They absorbed
the commerce of the. northern seas
and were the admiration of thousands
of travellers and merchants who passed
through them and trafficked with them.
Later Sweden was the great military
power of northern Europe.
The ambassadors Of the Swedish
kings were received with the utmost
difference in every court. Her SOL

eyes. He went on his way unchanged,
but no doubt making new attempts to
reach across the chasm which sepa-
rated him from the yearning heart of
his daughter
These attempts were failures. Be
side each other, when he was home
they were as persons alone; the one
reminiscent, living in past where
great figures Of history stalked ma

the eyes Of youth turned away from
the shadows aud toward the glints Of
the future.
For three or more years before Mary
Vaughn Selcoss had died, she had
been alarmed by new characteristic
Of her husband. In Dallas when he,
who once had known the tang of great
deeds done in a setting of romantic
grandeur, came out through the hot
streets on a common electric car and
walked up a suburban. avenue with it's
cheap bungalows and it's monographs,
it's lawn sprinklers trying to raise the
sun-baked grass from the dead, and It's
concrete sidewalks, Brenas mother
had noticed look in his eyes of a
haunting fear.
II wonder what would become Of
you and Brena IT anything happened
to me- he had said in explanation.
Nothing will happen to YOU Bre-
mas mother had gayly answered
Come into the house. I've something
to show you"
ITO show me?"
''Yes-a happy little home with the
rent all paid up till last February
Nothing will happen to YOU
But the fear was written upon his
countenance deeper and deeper, like
a tracing often repeated. He said to
his wife on one occasion, "You say
this fear is new. No, dearest; have
carried it about for many, many
years."
Long after her mother had gone
Brena had seen that look in her IA
theirs eyes.
Perhaps he is afraid he will lose
his place with the oil company" she
had said to herself many times.
Opportunity enough was given her
in those days to speak for herself
She had gone beyond any school train

learning; nevertheless she remained a

Of the prosecution, the mutilated vic

Jurors sympathetic eyes. The face of
the victim was but little more than a
recent site-a place where face had
been, but was no longer.
When the jury very promptly and
very properly had returned verdict
Of guilty, his honor the presiding
judge, pointing to the chief complain
ing witness and addressing the defend

"Thfs is the most lamentable exam

Surely no human being, unless he were
inspired by internal influences and
hellborn suggestions, could deliberate

worked upon the countenance of de-
fenseless and helpless fellow creature.
Demons from below surely must have
prompted you in what you did. It
must have been the devil himself who

To Tell Age of Deer

The Department of Agriculture says
the most reliable way to determine
the age Of deer Is by the teeth. They
get their permanent teeth around the
age of three and these gradually wear
off with age. Some have been known
to wear down to the gums. Another
way is by the horns, but this Is NOT
always accurate, as they often grow
more than one antler year.

Higher Water Rates

The powers that be have
Jumped the water rates up on us
poor devils who pay the fiddler,
for the alleged reason that a
greater revenue is necessary to
run this branch of the city gov
ernment.
This action, which is an ad-
vance Of forty per cent on the
present minimum rate charged
the domestic consumer, will no
doubt cause some adverse COM
Sent and also some cusSlng.
But really an annual minimum
charge of $40 for the quality
of water now furnished is not
excessive, although the Hired
Man" is under the impression
that in the propaganda circulat-
Cd about the time the purchase
of a big new pump was being
Lroadcasted was the promise or
implication that SO much more
water would be handled that it
would not be necessary to charge
anything additional for it.

should be considered, and great

Superintendent Fahy, is live,

who having risen from the

the ground up, and has the ad-
vanccment of the management

Picture Shows Open

Movie fans are again smiling,
as the theatres are now open for
business. During the time these
places were dark a general over
hauling, redecorating and house
cleaning has been in progress 10y
each of them, and now every
thing is bright and shining as a
brand new dollar. The Gem
started in Tuesday, and the
Auditorium, Grand and Alham-
bra followed suit the next day,
aud the Rex will play Saturday
and Sunday as usual.
The controversy between the
managers and operators has
been adjusted to the entire sat
isfaction of all concerned. The
operators, convinced that fo1
some time the movie houses had
not been reaping a golden harv-
est and that their claim Of IN
ability TO grant an advance was
the absolute truth, decided tC
accept the old scale. This has
been signed, and so now every
! thing is "Quiet" on the PATIO
mac" and We shall again enjoy
the splendid programs offered
By Newark theatres.

OLD RULES WILL STAND

Vice President Dawes is hope
@lessly beaten in his campaign to
change the senate rules, accord
ing to Senator Moses Of New
Hampshire. Senator McKeller
of Tennessee voices the same
views. Both predict that de-
tenders Of the rules will tear the
doughty general to pieces when
the question reaches the senate
floor. Opponents of Dawes de-
clare he will be challenged if he
claims that one man can block
legislation. 1t will also be shown
that under the Dawes plan any
proposal can be rushed through
the senate. Under the present
system, proposed legislation is
thoroughly discussed before it
comes to a vote. This permits d
better public understanding OF
the issue.

B. & o. Cooperation

Superintendent Fahy of Tho
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in
I. conversation with the publish
er of the Leader, said the men
ton a couple Of weeks ago that
a feeling of unrest to a certain
extent was apparent among
some of the shopmen was news
to him, and if it really existed
was entirely unexpected, as the
management, from all indica-
tions believed the system of CO.
operation between the manage
ment and working force was a
big success and had resulted in
great mutual benefit to all con-
cerned.
Mr.. Fahy stated that the
latchstring of his office door
was always on the outside, and
that at any time he was ready
and willing to meet any of the
men, either collectively or in
dividually, and discuss any COM
plant OF grievance, and that no
man need fear the loss of his job
by means of such complaint.
The management does not be-
Iieve in riding" or "raWhiding,"
but of course does expect a fair
days work in return for the
wages paid.
One thing mentioned by the
Superintendent is undoubtedly
we'll founded and should be Civ
en- attention by Newark people.
The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Co. is a big institution, and
selected this city as the location
of one of it's principal shops be-
cause it was centrally located
and Newark gave evidence of a
progressive rapidly growing
, town which would render all
possible assistance to the rail-
road company. This belief had
not altogether panned out as
was expected. Too many mer-
chants selected competing lines
when choosing a route over
which to receive or deliver goods
and citizens too often did the
same thing when making a trip

Labor Day Issue

The Newark Leader believes 1t
is justified in being proud of the
splendid Labor Day edition it
issues this week.
In addition to the general and
local news carried are many spe-
cial articles from Labor leaders
throughout the county, and IN
formation specially appropriate
to the occasion. 1t is a paper
which should be read and pre-
served for future reference.
= Special attention is called to
the advertisements from manu-
featuring industries, business
and professional men, banks.
building associations and other
friends who take this method of
expressing their friendship to-
wards the cause. They are en-
titled to and should receive your
patronage.
The Leader thanks all those
who have assisted in the produc.
ton of this years Labor Day
edition, assuring them that theil
kindness is appreciated and will
not be forgotten.
Finally, let us all bear in minC
that the general success of the
approaching celebration depends
upon the united cooperation o1
all. SO let's take our coats of
and go to it, with the determin
alton of making this demonstra
ton of 1925 the best ever helC
lin Newark.

But the suggestion offered

for the Trades Assembly, Clam

Resisting Wage Cut

London, Eng.-More than 250,0OO
textile workers have been locked out
because they refuse to accept a 10
per cent wage cut.
The employers piled up immense

were concealed by the issuance of
stock dividends and cash bonuses.
The present demand for textiles can
not pay dividends on inflated values
and the bosses are attempting to
make workers meet the difference.
