A news item tells of a British peer who complains that he is forced to prictically throw away money in tips | and extravagances of other kinds be- | cause he is a “lord.” “Without a title," he says, "I should be a comparatively happy man.” Aside from the probahle | fact that he would not give title for a large amount of cash, be- the being an and one which is seldom are many cannot of up his cause veneration of a title is in blood, there is a germ of what he says.

She is allowed to vote. The simple right her ballot has been granted her. In some places her right to hold office has been recognized. There are many women legislators— that is ahout as far as she has gone thus far. But of course woman is not satis- fied. Nor are the men who have proper appreciation of women's powers satis- fied. They know she is capable of fill- ing important offices. They realize that, in many matters, woman look like the thirty cents which has been spent. to cast more can make man So the search has been going on— the search for the higher office which all will agree woman is fitted to fill. At last it is found. Who found i{t? President Harding found it! He has Jjust sent to the Senate his nomination of a woman to he secretary of an em- bassy or legation of class 4, whatever that may be.

A num- ber of new men who are candidates for state office were in attendance as guests but they were not called upon to speak and the diners had no op- portunity to form an opinion of their caliber. Many republicans were also disap- pointed because Lieutenant Governor Templeton was not present. It was announced that everyone on the ticket ADAMSON’S ADVENTURES This Was the party would be there, r auditors why the republican should be retained In power, It is sald that Mr. Templeton, who had been chosen candidate for governor only a few days previously, did visit the lake for a few minutes but had a pressing engagement elsewhere and was forced to take an early departure, As announced, the outing was to be the occasion for opening fire with the big guns of the fall eampaign.

New Dritain needs a new hotel. There is no time like the present. There is no better place than the site selected at the corner of Washington and West Main streets. Merchants should realize that it will be to their interest to use their influence to en- sur the success of the undertaking. A transient population which would grow to fair proportions in time is always a good thing for a city, But here is the strongest point in favor of a modern hostelry: If it is a success there will be need of a 3ec- ond, and then of a third, ali compet- ing to give the best service and at- tracting a well to do class to New Britain on business. One up to date hotel is not enough for New Britain. Other citles have two or three. They need not be large establishments but they should be modern and cater to people who know what they want and get what they want when they want it. COMMUNICATED. Hank Long is Worried About Coal Newark, N. J., Sept. 21st, 1922 y to tell Dear Editor: Now that the sun is about to cross the line, I take pen in hand, to set forth a few pertinent facts concern- ing the situation as governed by the coal bosses and this and that. It has always been a mystery to me, why coal always take a chop just before it's wanted for the coal scuttle for the Kitchen range or the Round Oak made in Kalamazoo, Mich. Stranger, too, is it, that when one needs coal, and has the moncy to pay for it that, one must needs go to the retailer and get down on a pray- ing mat before he can get it, and when it is at last delivered, said coal is not only short weight, because the driver has been weighed with it, but there is also enough slate found in it to do figuring on from the time Noah first started his parlor stove to the present time. Now Mr. Editor, you're being a mighty smart man, I wish you would tell me why this all is. I wish you would set forth in your cherished columns some plan or scheme where- by we poor people dig for a living !may at least be appeased in mind even if by following your advice, our Y 0. JACOBSON Only One Round at That poc| m porpulent, We are told, that ages an¢ ages ago, nature provided large fern) as large as the Woolworth bullding these ferns in the course of tims were prostrated and this and that, s¢ that In a few thousand years, they became ossified and carbonized and paralyzed and ostracized and so thus, being cut out and off from the wmo-. clety of thelr brother and sister ferns they became coal, Now how In tarnation it all come about, search me, but this is a scenti- fic fact, so we're told, Well then, so long as coal didn't cost anybody anything in the first place, why in Tophet should it cost 60 much now? Now, here in Newark, there is (so I'm told) 780,000 tons of coal. But when one goes to get a measlsy ton or 80 of I, of a dark night he's apt to run into a policewoman's flash light or stumble over a bootlegger looking for the same:thing. When I say ‘“same thing” I mean ‘‘coal” and not ‘‘policewomen’’. Here's my dear old Aunt, frinstance She's 99 years old. She's a real good soul, belongs to the church, and feeds the poor including your humble servant, She powders up, and primps up and sozzles herself in gologne and goes with four hundred and fifty dol. lars in her pocket down to the coal yard to buy her winter coal. Does she return with the coal? Not on your immortal life don't. What happened? Why the book- keeper says she didn't want any coal just yet! Plenty of time for coal!! Yes, he'll take her order but hadn't she better turn her attention to matrimony? Then what does this bird do, after he sees her roll, but sidle up to her and tickle her in the ribs and asks her if she isn't afraid to carry around so much dough. ‘Well, the poor old lady returned home, with a face as long as one of my arms (you know how long that i8) and says to me: Hermie, I don't know what we'll do this winter, I went down to order ten or nine tons of coal, and that man tells me I don’t want no coal now. He says what I want is to'marry a coal miner. So I says to my Aunt “I'm a minor, but it won't make no difference for school children are allowed to work here in Jersey and finish their edu- cation after marriage. So, Mr. Editor, I don't see no other way for us this winter if we want coal than for me to marry my aunt or my aunt to marry me. Of course there is a point to this story, but for the life of me, I don't see it, therefore I'm writing you. Yours, HANK LONG. she » Newark, N. J. 64-S-12th Street, P.
