UP AND DOWN THE
MAINLAND.

These days on the Mainland
there Is an under current Of po-
litical thought centcred about
the administrations Of the var.
GUS cities, because in less than
two weeks the opportunity will
come in which to express APP
p~oval, or 10 withhold approval
of the conduct of affairs.
Those who read The Tuesday
editions Of The Pleasantville
Press keep we'll informed upon
the activities Of the Councilmen
Of Absccop, Plcasantviile,
Mortified, Linwood and Som
ers Point, and in every instances
it is apparent that these Coun-
cilmen, who are the administra~
tors Of these cities are strug-
Cling with the task of keeping
up improvements and keeping
taxes down.
In spite Of every care and
thought to keep expenses
down, Councilman of the
Mainland arc very much like
the man Of the family of grow
ing and husky youngsters who
must be clothed, fed and edu-
Gated, to say nothing Of being
entertained. Each city is hus-
ky and growing and must have
streets, sidewalks, police and
fire protection, educational
facilities.
1t is a most pleasing and
happy situation when the
growth Of new buildings and
the reassessment OF farm acre
age as building lots is Of a vol
uIne sufficient to maintain an
income in taxes to meet the
outgo in expenses. 1t is to the
very considerable credit Of the
Councilmen Of the cities Of the
Mainland that they are not
spending money faster than the
income warrants, while they
are meeting with we'll consider
ed ordinances and bond issues
every demand for modern and
sensible suburban and urban
residence.
Absecon, North6eld and
Linwood have recently made
additions to their facilities for
educating the children of their
cities. Pleasantville is now pro-
viding additional class rooms
and there is every prospect. that
a way will be found to build
new high school for the accom-
mediation not only of the chill
dren of the city Of Pleasant
vile, but also for others OF the
cities Of the Mainland.
Earmarks Of the growth Of
Mainland cities appear in trat-
fic problems, new and perma-
nent streets, and these cities ale

those coarse garments there was o

"The woman who has the best
record of any woman in the World
War;" is the way Lady Astor, M.
P, describes Queen Marie of Rou-
mania.
In honoring the woman who has
been able to arouse the interest
and enthusiasm of millions who
have never seen her and who know
little about the country from which
she comes, let us not forget that
she is the Queen of Roumania.
Queen Marie herself would be the
first to deplore IA purely personal
triumph in the long-heralded tour,
and she would be unhappy il its
result were merely to make her
better known and to satisfy the
curiosity of Americans to see what
royalty really looks like. a queen
owes her influence and commands
homage primarily because she rep
resents a nation. The object of
this royal visit is to make Rumania
better known and to awaken inter
est and sympathy in this country
for the country from which Queen
Marie comes.
II Queen Marie had a wonderful
war record it was because she was
queen of wonderful people. Moth
ing that she did in the war stood
out in contrast to the deeds of her
fellow-countrymen. Rumania met
with disaster and humiliation-and
bore it. The spirit of the people
was not broken, despite their suf-
ferings. Their faith in the destiny
of their country was not shaken,
despite the necessity of signing a
treaty dictated By the conqueror.
After the Russian Revolution, when
the Rumanians were cut off from
their allies and were under the heel
of the German armies, they bore
their lot with fortitude and digni-
ty; and the attitude Of their King
and Queen was simply that of all
the people.
And then, when the victory To

Men of Pleasantville have you

You want to help the city-its

neglect the church, you are neg

you, but you need the church,
and you need the church more

WHY DO THE RIGHTEOUS

Men see not the bright light

xvii: 81.
Figuratiyely speaking my text

Ell to serve us as a lamp unto our
feet and a light to shine on our
path. The light that shines thru

brighter than the sun at MONDAY.

Love without warmth, without emo

Those who follow the devel-
opments and the records OF the
administrations of the various
cities of the Mainland in The
Pleasantv;!le Press fully realize
that the influence of the home
owner enters into the proceed
ings Of these careful and con-
scrvative bodies. Elections arc
being held in each of the cities
of the Mainland and in every
instance grateful men and wo~
men will on election day cast a
vote Of confidence and apprc-
citation. The endorsement by
ballot is little enough apprecie
ton to show for the hours,
days and weeks Of time and
hard study given by mayors,
councilmen, clerks and other
city administrative officers on
behalf Of their townspeoplc.

which We so powerfully contributes
ed, came to the Allied arms, bring-z
ing with it the liberation of the
Rumanians and sweeping rever-
sal of their national fortunes, they
were not dazZled by it. They put
themselves to work promptly and
efficiently to create and to provide
for the defense and evolution OF
Greater Rumania.
Last month l took a long motor
trip through Rumania, noting the !
great changes of the last few years.
Everywhere there is spirit of
hopefulness and feverish activity
in the Herculean task Of rebuilding
after the invasion and of welding
together into one body polite re-
gions inha bited by people Of the
same blood and language who had
for centuries been politically sepa- :
rated. But the country is poor,
and there is a great variety in the
degree Of education and political 1
experience and of economic indie
pendence among the Rumanians. !
Above all, the province of Bessara-
bia cries out for the new oriental
ton Of it's communications with
Bucharest and also for the assur-
ance from other nations, including
our own, that it's union with Ru-
mania will be recognized in trea-
ties.
The Rumanians need American
capital, closer trade relations with
us, and their Government can do
little in economic evolution without
our willingness to assume that the
frontiers of Greater Rumania will
stand as they are today.
What can Queen Marie accom-
plish along these lines? Nothing,
if we regard her as a curiosity, and
do not know or care about the
problems that affect vitality not on
ly Rumania, but, through Rumania,
the peace of Europe.
