PREMIER OF FRANCE RESIGNS
Recent Trouble
OUer Finances
Causes Crash
ny United Pres. Leased Wire

PARIS, April l0.~-After an adj
Verse Vote in the. senate on -lfis fl
naneial program, Premier Herriot
announced this evening that he had
resigned.
Announcement Of his resignation
came almost Immediately after the
vote of confidence had shown him
defeated by l56 to l32. The pre-
mier and his cabinet walked out Of
the chamber and there was not even
so much as the formality of a cstbi.
net meeting before Il decision 10
quit was reached.
The formal ceremony of present.
ing his letter of resignation to Pres
ident Doumergue would be gone
through later in the evening, Her
riot said shortly after s p. m.
Resignation Of 1Ierriot brings TO
a. close another of the many post
war ministries Of France unable to
survive the financial political and
religious cross current that treach-
erouslyslay in wait for the eountfy's 5
public figures.
Assumed office May, 1924
Herriot, in assuming his portfolio
on May II, 1924, MS leader of the
triumphant radicals, brought with
him successful record as mayor of
Lyons, the center Of the. silk in
dustry; as n senator, as Il minister
in the BRAND cabinet and as q mem
ber of the chambers finance com
1niitce.
In succeeding the Millerand, Poin,
care "national bloc Herriot came
into power as an advocate of reeog-
milton of Russia, of promoting a Sc
eurity pact, OF surprcssing the en-
bassy at the vatican and of apply
ing to Alsacc-I Lorraine schools the
the same system of religious teach
ing that obtains in the rest of
France.
Recognition Of Russia became
fact soon after Hcrriot assumed the
premiership. The vatican plank al
so was successful. The other issues
still hang in the air and his de
feat today was in some ways to be
blamed for the enemies he has made
i'm Catholic France.
Herriot has been called "ihe
French Teddy Roosevelt" having
a penchant for frank, outspoken
criticism
Personally, he is inclined TO cor
pulenee, somewhat neglectful of his
attire, n pipe smoker aud a lover
of good food and wine. He is n
steady reader and has n considerable
reputation as Bibliophilc.

ENJOY 1T WHILE YOU CAN

Last week some poor degenerate
got into one of the Trades Assembly's
lodge rooms and feloniously appro-
priated and carried away large cleo
trio fan, which during the heated term
has been doing great service in dis
posing Of some Of the heated air gen
Grated at hot meetings held therein.
If this person, who is utterly de-
void of all principles of manhood, and
about as low down as the fellow who
steals the coppers from a dead mans
eyes, will take the advice of the
"Hired Man" he will make all poss-
ible use of his ill-gotten spolls while
opportunity permits, for the time
cometh, and the Wisest among US
knoweth not how soon, when the
Great Master Workman will ring the
bell on him and he will be called to
leave this mundane sphere and start
on a journey from which there is no
return; and when once he has made
the final trip across the river StyX
and landed in what will be his eter-
nal abode, where the temperature is
much above normal, all the fans in
creation will avail him nothing, and
even if he had 'em he no doubt would
be willing to trade 'em in for single
drop of water to cool his scorching
tongue.
SO let this Judas work his loot
overtime and derive all possible pleas
ure while there is yet time.

GETTING TIRED OF FAKES

The fellow who is amusing himself
at the expense of the police depart
ment by telephoning in fake S. O. 5:
calls, had better look a little out, and
watch his steps mighty careful, or he
may run against a snag and get
caught; and if he does he will his
good and plenty.
The number of our city guardians
is pitifully small as it is, and this
thing of calling them out on wild
goose chases should end, and end at
once. Twice recently the wagon made
a hurried run to a house in the east
end where a lively family scrap was
reported, only to find in each instance
that the people were away from home,
and no one in the neighborhood knew
anything about the reported disturb
ance.
Every possible effort will be made
to discover this practical joker, and if
the law gets it's clutches on him he
will be prosecuted to the bitter end.

hundreds Of thousands of dollars

and gift taxes. The federal gift
tax would have been 100000 on
the Pocantico Hills estate while
federal inheritance taxes on this

SAME OLD DAUGHERTY

Former Attorney General
Daugherty threw a few bou-
quets at himself in a letter he
forwarded to the annual meeting
Of the Ohio bar association.
He referred to the injunction
he secured against the shop men.
This writ, he declares, is the
ideal method of enforcing law
and order, but he doubts Wheth-
er the public is duly grateful.
When Mr.. Daugherty warns
up to his subject he proves to be
the same old civilization-savior,
as when he declared, as attorney
general, that he would use every
machinery Of government to
maintain the anti-union shop.

'SMEARED WITH BLOOD"

Anthracite coal is smeared
with blood" declared John L..
Lewis, in a wage conference
with representatives of the an
thracite mine owners.
In fancy the trade unionist
paraded before the conference
the $4,000 mine workers who
have been injured since the 1928
wage conference, the widows
and orphans of the 1000 killed
and the dependents of those in
jured.
'If it were possible to actu-
ally hold this parade" said Pres
ident Lewis, ''it would stagger
humanity. The people would
realize the cost Of life and limb
for producing anthracite"

WATCH YOUR INVESTMENT

"If | had money to invest"
saws Daniel J. Tobin, President
of international Brotherhood OF
Teamsters, Il never would invest
it in any Of the many get-rlch-
quick enterprises SO allurlngly
advertised. | would take that
money to a local bank OF sound
standing and with good record
for a number Of years and de
post it in that bank, or, If |
did not wish to deposit it in the
bank at 312 or 4 per cent inter-
est, | would look for some mu-
nicipal bonds, or government
bonds, and invest my money
where | know it would be safe.
Concerns paying high dividends
are usually a gamble. The SAT-
est investment is in real estate
in a thriving community, and
even when investing in real es-
tate the advice of an expert
banker will be helpful.
There is no such thing as
getting rich quick nowadays.
There are too many sharp, cleV-
er Smart Alecks, who have their
heads together night and day,
planning to get a workingman S
money away from him.
Last year, from government
records, we find there were two
hundred million dollars lost IN
"phoney" stock, not all wild
cat" stuff, but many Of them
supposed to be sound financial
institutions, driven to the wall
as a result Of depression in bus
mess"

HOLOPHANE LIGHTS CHOSEN

Whether or not the recent COM
munication from the Trades Assem-
bly, asking the Board of Education to
install Newark made Holophane
lights in the new school gymnasium
influenced that body in its decision is
not known. But be that as it may,
the final result was just what was
desired, as at Monday nights meet
ing the contract was awarded to the
Electric Shop and the Holophane
product will be used.
The Holophane lighting system is
in use in the gymnasium at Coshoc-
ton, which enjoys the reputation OF
being one Of the best and most salts
factorily illuminated gyms in the
state-bar none.
In this action, although the bid
was not the cheapest received, the
Board displayed excellent judgment,
which will meet universal approval.
The very best, most scientific and ar
tistic outfit made in the United States
has been chosen, the merits Of home
enterprise recognized, and a Newark
firm will do the work.
Let's continue to buy from home
people and keep our money in town
where it will benefit all of US, and
not let it get away to outside places
where it will be lost to us forever.

DON'T PAY A FANCY PRICE

Probably the police department has
use for a new automobile, as with the
exception of the heavy patrol wagon,
a couple of worn out cars constitute
the entire equipment. But the reso-
luton passed by council authorizing
the advertising for bids on new
machine is rather vague and uncer-
tain, as it makes no suggestions as
to the nature of the car nor for what
purpose it is intended to be used,
neither does it limit the price to be
paid for it. All such things rest with
the purchaser.
1t is to be hoped that no more
money will be spent for this purpose
than is absolutely necessary, as our
city strong box is not filled to over
flowing at the present time, and ev-
cry penny counts.

SECRETARY DAVIS SPEAKS

When a labor representative
is selected for the position OF
Secretary of Labor, he usually
becomes a pussyfooter on dis
tructive projects of union labor,
and often even betrays the
cause in some polite way. Not
so with James J. Davis, the
present head of the Federal Lab
or Department. His views con-
tinue to be pronounced and there
is no apparent attempt to sup
press or modify them.
A scathing denunciation of
prison contract labor was made
by Mr.. Davis before the annual
convention of police chiefs rec
emily.
Quoting from a report compil-
ed by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, Davis said that out OF
"a, ,761 convicts the bureau found
in State and Federal peniten-
tiaries, less than 10000 were
working outdoors on public high
ways and public works.
81 was startled to see how
many of these prisoners were
turned over to contractors, who
pay the State a ridiculously low
amount per day for the labor OF,
these prisoners, and still larger
numbers who are working for
contractors under a piece price
system" )" Davis said.
81 found many were working
on sewing machines putting out
100000 work shirts a year,
to enable the convict labor con,
tractor to undersell in the mar
kets and thus bankrupt outside
shirt makers employing people
trying to make an honest liv-
ing"
Beware of stool pigeons and
spies," declared Secretary Davis,
in speaking Of the Federation Of
Foremen's Clubs at Dayton,
Ohio. Reports Of stool pigeons
and spies on their fellow work
ers are likely to be full of preju-
dice. Remember the worker U.s.
ually has a family. He and his
wife have social ties. His chill
dren are in school and he wants
to keep them there. 1t is a dan
gerous thing to discharge a
workman on the report of a spy
OF stool pigeon"
The Secretary further told
the foremen that "the Simon
Legree, whether he be driving
slaves or free workers, can not
long succeed or even continue to
exist" Then he added that the
Wickedest thing that a boss can
10 is to interfere with a mans
home or family life"
Secretary Davis prophesied
that the day of the "hard- d-boil-
ed boss" in industry has about
run it's course.
There is nothing faint Or
apologetic about this talk.-Cin-
cinnati Chronicle.

NUMBER OF COPS REDUCED

The much monkeyed with sO-called
police ordinance, fixing the number
of patrolmen was again tackled by
council last Monday night, and under
a motion to reconsider the ordinance
passed on May 18, which placed nine
teen patrolmen no the force, was
repealed, so the force automatically
drops back to the original fourteen.
A west end resident and taxpayer
registered a stiff kick on poor police
protection furnished that part of the
city, and stated that the spectacle of
a cop on duty was a rare sight in
that locality.
His complaint was received in sill
ence.

leased on $500 bond.

successful in this move, it is expect

THOUGH absent from Washington,
President Coolidge is keeping in
close touch with governmental affairs
through conferences with Cabinet Of

summons to Swampscott whenever he
wants information as to what is going
on in domestic or foreign affairs.
Secretary Kellogg was summoned to
the summer White House to discuss
the foreign debt situation and the
trouble in China. Secretary of Labor
Davis has been there to report on the
labor troubles in the anthracite coal
fields, and Secretary of War Weeks,
now recuperating from his serious
illness, also has been a visitor. The

INDICATIONS that the tax fight in
the next congress will not be so bitter
as had been expected are seen here
in the announcement that Senator
Joe Robson of Arkansas, the Demo
cratic leader, has tax revision views
almost like those of President Cool
idge and Secretary Mellon. The Pres
ident wants to reduce taxes on in
comes of all sizes, although he is in
favor of cutting down rates on very
large incomes in the belief that this
will more money be released for use
in private business and industry. This
was one of the results Of last years
tax revision, the Treasury finding
that the law brought in a lot more
money than had been anticipated sim
ply because there were greater prof
its which could be taxed.

about teaching evolution theories and
the doctrines of Darwin. 1t seems
probable, however, that Washington

escape the fight that has started in

to introduce a bill in Congress this
winter to prohibit the teaching of
evolution and in any schools in the
