Here, in a nutshell, is illustrated the fallacy of trying to meet the need for relief by "made work." The Courier-Post Newspapers favor the idea of expediting public construction in times like these but only public construction that is really necessary and worth while.

Camden Bridge's high-speed line is an excellent example of necessary work which will give jobs to quite a few men. But it is fatal to mistake this kind of employment as a substitute for DIRECT RELIEF OF THE NEEDY.

EDWARD BEARNIT. Prohibitionist Praises Hoover To the Sir We have learned by sad experience that the liquor traffic is a political and social menace. The grave is enlarged -and the multitude pour into, it Jay reason of strong, drink. One of the strongest forces for prohibition is the total abstinence of determined men and women from the use of alcoholic beverages. Countless victories have been won in the cause of right against wrong because men and women were convinced that God was on the side of right and that He would be with them in the struggle.

So it has been with our good president, Mr. Herbert Hoover, a man of courage and steadfastness. May he be our next president and may God bless him. E. G.

Even those who hear them in person apparently are asleep, or else utterly unenthusiastic, judging by the sparsity of applause.

Clementon Councilman Asked to Explain To the Editor: Sir On Monday evening. October 3. the borough council of Clementon held its regular monthly meeting with a surprise lniectea oy councilman Mr. Fred counciimen ao not oiten resign in Clementon, and my old friend Fred has startled the town folks without an explanation. As a close oDserver or tne anaira of Clementon.

and having been as sociated with Fred in numerous other group gatherings, I think he owes thfe voters who gave him a healthy majority, last November, a true statement as to the reason for his sudden change of heart. Should we. draw our own conclu sions and suppose there is a condi. tioh within tne inner circles that does not meet with his approval. It surely can't be health as an excuse, or "too busy," as Fred is liealthy and retired, giving him plenty of both to serve the people as councilman.

Now Fred, as vou are no more in and prefer to be out of' politics, vent your feelings and let's have the' reasons. Is our town going on the rocks, or too much favoritism to suit you or using tne misery ul to gain votes? There must be one big whv I did it, ana i tor one wm certainly think you.

A strait' er to these troubled shores might hink the bonus debt was a divinely m.fhnnism for increasing purchasing power without the danger of currency inflation. 5 What are the facts?

That same year wert, Democrat, ana Keah, Republican, were likewise in the fray for gubernatorial honors, with the Socialist-Labor, Prohibition and Peoples' parties coming along like the sputtering end-string of a firecracker. The great Civil War was little more than quarter of a century aw'ay and the wounds' had not yet healed. There were many here in Camden who were so sympathetic with the South they ridiculed, anything savoring of Grant, Garfield or Harrison. Often they were called "copperheads," "secesh" or worse. Young blades not infrequently engaged in fisticuffs.

Neighborly rows were by no means rare and old pals, friendly enough the rest of the quadrennial period, refused to speak as they passed by. They took their politics as straight as the old-time tippler. A Democrat was a Democrat and a Republican a Republican without a quibble. Marchers of I.onj Ago Is it any wonder the veteran political worker will say this presidential campaign is a candle compared to the sun when it comes to recalling the Harrison-Cleveland scrimmage? That is due. to a difference in methods since the great god efficiency entered politics as it has vervthinsr else American.

For oneJ thing," it has taken out of political battles' the spectacular parades in which thousands hereabouts took part For weeks in advance of election day Camden streets often were jammed with marchers of rival camps, gaily uniformed, drilled with military-like precision, partisans who went-by in solid phalanxes under the fitful gleam of torchlights, to the tune of martial airs with Joe Jennings' Sixth. Regiment band usually the center of a thousand youngsters, drawn as moths to an arc light. Camden's marching clubs in politicals campaigns harked back to Federalist and Democratic days, to the miridla 50s when the Whigs and Americans were waging war with the party of Jeff erson and Jackson. But it was in the 80's and 90' that tnv name into full glory; starting with Jim Carman's Union Republican Club. That was at the aawn or tne 80's and by the time the Blaine and Logan, Cleveland and Hendrickson battle came, tne- late i.ouib u- rousse, one jr uamoen leaaing spirits for many a year, naa com bined the young G.

Eventually, all the wards had their marchers and veterans of the political- arena recall the flag raising by the Ninth Ward Repubflcan Association in October, 1888, when General E. Burd Grubb was running for governor against Leon Abbett. Colonel James Matlack Seovel was the orator and his eloquence was a fitting finale to the colorful parade staged by the young Republican Seme Nifty Outfits These' clubs bought their own the line, officers wearing blue capes with red linings, white leggings and blue, caps with on the peaks.

The Democrats came into theirs own then witbl W. Harry one of Camdenr' most popular men, as the put up most of the cash.

The-lLeon Abbett Pioneer Corps particular was as nifty an outfit as one would care to see, uniformed, -carrying a gleaming ax and with knapsacks strapped to the back.

But it Was that very rivalry between party leaders' and their followers -which stirred up the partisans to a perfect renzyT developing the campaigns into the fights ani mated by such personal feeling that there never seemed to be any doubt where a voter stood.

When these clubs were at the height their popularity it was usually thej program to visit otlv parts of the state and sometimes marchers came from Philadelphia to add to the cjolorful pageantry. George B. i Wilson, uncle to Admiral Henry B. Wilsoh, was usually marshal of the Republican parades. j.

But out of them' grew' i fiany of the ward, organizations which went to build up the Republican party under Sewell and Balrd.

His motive is excellent. There is justice in his feeling that the State should receive some service from those whom it helps. But any such scheme should be PURELY VOLUNTARY.

If men whose families are helped through relief choose to help push the park program ahead at this time, that is all very well. I New Jersey's relief funds, however, must not be turned into a payroll for "made work." I Director' Strandwitz tried out something of the sort and found it impractical. The same verdict has come from welfare groups throughout the nation. Employment on public works is not a substitute forj DIRECT RELIEF. The R.

F. C. figures tell the story. To "make work" for all the jobless at public ejxpense, would require a sum more than twice! the present national debt. Industry itself must meet the problem of putting our millions back to work.

In the meantime, the duty of the government is tojcare for the needy with direct aid, not with "made work." Wolverton's Record- In Congress Lauded I To the Editor: Sir I think the public of this dis trict should be proud indeed! that they have as their representative in Congress a man with the honesty and courage or our present congressman Charles A. Wolverton. I have read some criticisms against him, but they emanate only i from nolitical enemies. The rank and file of our citizens are proud of him and nis acnievements. It took a.

man of courasre to ODDOse the administration, on many iissues. Our Congressman was always for the iittie reiiow. Let us not oriret that he had the courage to vote against the sales tax and to vote for higher taxes on! large incomes, because he felt that the burden of government operation should be borne by those who! could best afford to bear it. Let us also remember that he voted for every piece of legislation benefiting the working man ana woman and for this he received the en dorsement of the American Fjedera- tion of Labor. But aside from all these things- it is refreshing indeed to have in Congress a man of Mr.

Wolverton's ability and integrity. The only thing I have heard nim criticized ifor is the fact that he received a fee as counsel for several defunct banks in his district. Asa lawyer, is he not entitled to a reasonable fee lor his services? I read nis statement, snowing the comprehensive work covering a period of 13 months that he engagea in, ana iur uu re ceived a fee of less than one percent for each $10 deposited, and I understand that out of this fee he was obliged to -pay the services of five assistants.

i GOLD MINERS' LUCK -j Two little stories about gold miners got into the papers the other day, and if they aren't typical of the gold seeker's life at least they ought to be. One told of a California prospector whose mule slipped off a trail and slid down a mountainside. Going to retrieve it, the prospector stumbled blindly onto a ledge of gold-bearing quartz, so rich that it probably will make him wealthy for the rest of his lie. I The other concerned a prospector in Ontario, who was crossing a wilderness lake and was forced by a storm to land on a little island. On- the island, which he wouldn't have visited but for the storm, he found a gold vein of surpassing richness.
