COMEBODY has asked me
- to what source | attribute
the constant growth and de-
velopment of our language.
To the newspapers, say. A
new word would have a short
life if the newspapers did not
take it up. 1t would die a-born-
ing, as the saying goes, and
certainly meyer would get into
the dictionaries.
You know there is something
rather enchanting in the style
of newspaper copy that attracts
all kinds of readers. News
papers are easy to read. With
out realizing it, we often
familiarize ourselves with a
new word used by our favorite
newspaper. In this wayne add
to our vocabulary - without
giving the newspapers credit
for it.
Those who write of sporting
events have supplied us with an
abundance of expressive terms dur
ing more recent years. Baseball,
golf, tennis, and other outdoor
sports each have a language of
their own. The newspapers popu-,
larize it-and then no modern die
tionary can be complete without it.
The old tradition that claims
Newspaper English as an exclusive
institution no longer holds good; for
that which we read in the public
prints is instantly adopted bylt
people who justly take claim to it
as their own language.
This also lays bare the secret of
the dictionary maker. He does not
make the words, but simply takes
them after they have been made by
the people themselves-through the
newspapers, l might add.
The language of today, always
ready for immediate use, will be
found in the New Enlarged Univer-
sites Dictionary. There is no ques-
tioh about it. This dictionary is
the latest--and undoubtedly it is
the greatest volume Of its kind ever
produced.

TAKING ;. GASOLINE :.

Refusal was properly made by the
State Highway Commissioners to
take part in a conference to be held
by the State Association of Boards
of Freeholders to consider a gasoline
tax bill which the association will
have introduced In the next Legisla-
ture. 1t is no concern of the State
Highway Commission, which may
give its advice when asked for it by
the Legislature.
In his address at Bridgeton recent
by Governor Silzer said that the
Boards of Freeholders were the prin-
cipal parties behind the proposed
gasoline tax. The attempt to get the
cooperation of the State Highway
Commissioners goes to prove that
the Governor was correct. The Free
holders should be given no more
power to spend public moneys; they
are already spending too much, and
not economically.

SENSIBLE BRIDGE MOVE

Best interests of everybody on both
sides of the Delaware River are
served by Governor Pinchot's call of
the Pennsylvania Legislature for re-
consideration of the high-handed ac-
ton taken by that body in the Cam
den-Philadelphia, bridge tolls contro-
versy. Even the selfish real estate
men and politicians in the two cities
directly affected will be benefited by
fair and honest settlement of the
dispute which has resulted in dead
lock tie-up of the bridge operation
and the threatened delay of its open
ing, not only until after next years
sesquicentennial but until long after
the structure should be in general
use.
With an investment in excess of
$2l, 100000 the people of the two
States can well afford to have the
bridge remain idle. 1t should be in
service of the public at the earliest
possible moment. New Jersey is
ready to hasten the job to compile
ton, as soon as Fennay wanna recog+
nizes and approves the toll agree
ment under which this State con-
sented to the building. New Jerseys
position is backed by legal and NOR
al rights. And with few exceptions,
everyone is in favor of what is NOR
ally and legally right in this connec-
ton, Why continue an Improbable
and disturbing deadlock? Let Penn
syIvania's Governor and Legislature
recede from their unwise tolls posi-
ton and the finished bridge will soon
be in use.

GOOD ADVICE

Householders are advised by the
Coal Committee of the New Jersey
Chamber of Commerce to use soft
coal and coke as substitutes for an
thracite, and to lay in as large a sup
ply as possible-at least sufficient to
last thirty or sixty days when con-
venient.
That is good advice and should be
adopted. We are likely to have bad
weather, and SHOWS, during the lat
ter part of December and in January
and February. Local dealers may not
beable to make deliveries, nor will
they be able to obtain supplies.
The critical period is drawing near
and every family should do all that
it possibly can to avert suffering,
The man who is able to lay in a sup
ply owes it to himself and his less
fortunate neighbors to do so without
further delay

DILIGENCE WILL HELP

Clarence Darrow may gain for
himself adedd publicity, or notoriety,
as a sensationIloving lawyer, but he
does not serve the best interest of
the negro race when he tells a col
ored audience they are "too blamed
pious." Let the negros keep their
religion and add diligence in business
to their faith in the gospel. Let the
race 'ibe self-supporting, with con-
slant effort for betterment along So
cial and economic lines" as Mr.. OAR
row urges, but let it not forget that
there is inspiration and help and con-
ISOLATION in religion.

PUNISHMENT NEEDED

II the score or so of young men ar
rested for hi-jacking and other rob-
berries are proven guilty there should
be no failure to give them the limit
in the way of punishment. Respect
for decency and good order can be
best installed among such persons
by strict enforcement of the law.
Much of the present day crime con-
dition is due to the mawkish senti-
mentality which has too long figured
in criminal prosecution and penah-
cation. The courts as well as the
police, have duty to, perform if So
ciety is to be safeguarded.

BUY IN BEVERLY

Years ago there might have been
an excuse for holiday shoppers to
visit New York and Philadelphia to
do their buying. That is true no long
er. There is scarcely anything that
cannot be found in Beverly's stores,
and the prices must be lower, as the
overhead expenses are lower here.
Do your buying in Beverly, from
the merchants who have an interest
in the city, and who have reputa-
ton for fair dealing Naturally they
will be quick to correct any mistake
they may make. Buy at home, and
do the shopping early in the day.

TOO few IN JAIL

Arrests of drunken automobile
drivers continue at an astonishing
rate, but little of real advancement
in the way of reform can be accom-
plished until more of them are sent
to Jail and kept there for adequate
terms.
Committing magistrates and judges
should encourage the police by ad-
rninistering severe punishment to all
such violators of traffic regulations.
with care to see that no legal loop
holes are left for their escape.

KNOW YOUR STATE

Much benefit win result for every
body from the "Know Your State"
campaign Of the New Jersey Associa-
tion OF Real Estate Boards, with Sam
uel Hilton, Trenton realtor, as one of
the chairman.
With proper newspaper advertising
New Jersey can be shown to the
world in such way to convince the
most skeptical that this State has
opportunities for development and
advancement that are not equalled
anywhere.

GOOD TIMES

All records are broken in freight
traffic. In October railroads carried
more than forty-four billions of tons
about billion tons more than Octo-
Der, 1924. All of this helps to give
America Merry Christmas and
there is reason in abundance to look
for Happy New Year.

The American Federation OF Labor
will enter political campaigns this
fall throughout the country but will
keep away from third party move
ments.
Hardening back to its old policy Of
refusing to align itself with parties
in the belief that labor's interests
can best be served by freedom from
party affiliation, the report of the
executive board Of the convention
outlined a non-party political cam
paign.
1.-THE executive council believes
that as a result of it's non-partisan
political policy, the launching Of
third party movements has been
proved wasted effort and injurious
to the desire to elect candidates with
favorable records" the report reads.
Experience therefor. taught labor
that if it is to be successful 1t must
continue to follow its non-partisan
policy"
The executive board urged organ
ization of women workers. mainte-
nance of wage scales, opposition to
communism, a determined fight
against company unions and against
employers insurance and employe
ownership.
