WITHOUT PAY
FORMER COUNCILMAN WOULD
LIKE TO BE THE CHIEF EXEC-UTIVE.—
BULL MOOSER AN-NOUNCES
HIS CANDIDACY.—
DEMOCRATS WILL PUT UP A
FIGHT FOR AN INCREASE IN
TOWN COUNCIL.
While office holders have been go-ing
about with blood In their eyes,
Condemning the system which com-pels
them to work lor nothing and
bringing law suits in the courts lo
compel the county to pay them for
services rendered, a man versed in
borough affairs and with many years
experience as a councilman, is wil-ing
to be the Republican candidate
for office of burgess and he promises
that if he is elected he will serve Mi
term without a cent - f salary—he wi'l
give the salary to the borough. The
man is EH wood N'oblft, of the second
ward.
Mr. Nobht has served several terms
in council. He has teen chairman of
the street commits and has served
on many important committees. Last
year, after the organization of coun-cil,
he resigned hi* Feat as he was
not in accord with the policy of the
dominating powers of the body. Mr.
Xoblit has been a resident here for
many years and has many friends.
The Bull Moosers are to have a
candidate for burg-;.;?, that is, if the
party names the ticket. However,
Frank Shay, of tho fourth ward, has
announced his candidacy for the nom-ination
for burgess on the progress-ive
ticket. Now that the ticket has
a head, it is llkelv that candidates
* for town council will be nominated
in some of the wards. Mr. Shay '3
a property holder and one of the best
known citizens of the borough. He
has served in the school board.
The councilmantc situation is be-ginning
to beconis of interest. Of
the outgoing members, .Messrs, liar
rold and 1-acey, (Democrats) of tho
First Ward, say they will not be can-didates
for re-election. John J. Cri-mean,
proprietor of the Central noiel
and a former counri'man. will be a
condidate for the nomination on the
Democratic ticket. The nan» of M'
chael J. O'Brien haj been mentioned
as Mr. Crimean's running mate. Mr.
O'Brien has also sei ved in council.
In the second ward, Messrs, Wood-land,
Dale and May, all Republicans,
a candidate and MrB.-le says that the
terms expire with this council. Mr
Woodland says that he will again be
a candidate and Mr. Dale says that
has decided to run fur the nomination.
In the third ward it is most likely
that both Dr. Thomas and Mr. Bat)
(Republicans) will again stand for
the nominations.
In the fourth wail Mr. Toner will
most likely be reuominated by the
Democrats and John Connelly, who
Is a very well kno »n citizen is talked
of as Mr. Toner's ruining mate. Mr.
Harvey (Republic lit) will again be a
candidate.
In the fifth ward tin terms of Prank
Marks and Edmund K. Williams, both
Republicans, expire. Mr. Marks has
decided to again become a candidate
while Mr. Williams is undecided. He
has served seven! terms and will
not make a fight for re-election.
As the primaries will not be held un
til next June, there .s ample time tor
the parties to brinx out strong can-didates
and a livel/ pght will result
especially if the 'lull Moosers place
a ticket in the fled.

A SOCIAL CENTRE TO
FILL CHURCH PEWS
IN AN ADDRESS AT. THE GULF
CHRISTIAN CHURCH, JOHN W.
CONRAD JR., DEPLORES THE
LACK OF INTEREST IN THE
CHURCH AND ADVOCATES THE
ESTABLISHING OF A SOCIAL
CENTRE
"Citizenship plus Individual Re-sponsibility"
wafc (he subject of a stir
ring address by John W. Conrad, Jr.,
before the Men's BiLle Class of the
Gulf Christian Church last Sunday.
The s|>eaker, who l« secretary of the
class, laid a special stress on the care
parents should exercise over the child
and urged e\eryone to have a wate!>
ful eye for the things which tend .o
hamper the child's Intellectual attain-ments
as well as Its moral develop-ment
Mr. Conrad pointed out in a
most able manner the need of a civic
Association or a social center at Gutf
Mills, declaring chat such a move-ment
would result in the general up-lift
of the commun-.ly. and prove a
blessing to every ,.;■•» nt as well as to
every chiid The si dress struck are
sponsive chord in many places and af-ter
the meeting those enthusiastic for
the project assured Mr. Conrad of
their willingness to cooperate in
such a plan.
Mr. Conrad's address in part was
as follow..
"There is a strong doubt as to whet
her the world is growing better. The
-.odd has, and is Bill] advancing n-long
certain lines, in scientific mat-ters
for instances, i.i the matter of
locomotion and the medical world in
the treatment of disease, but whether
she is making a similar advance as a
Christian force is certainly a question
which we as honest men cannot truth
fully answes. It may be well enough
for the ministry to solace itself with
the thought the world is advancing
religiously but we laymen who daily
come in- contact with the real and
practical things in ilfe must take a
different view of the situation.
It is unnecessary for one to remind
us that the church should be the
strongest factor o.i the Earth, but
where we find so many outside of its
confines and influe.iee we can take
it tor granted that there is some-thing
decidedly wrong with Its me-chanism
and: that a most searching
examination is required to find the
error'in order that a remedial agen-cy
may be set at work, and I felel I,
know where some of the existing evil
lies and I likewise feel that there are
many here this afternoon who will
in the main agree with me.
We have here in our own neighbor-hood
men who show a lack of inter-est
in the things wh'ch make for hu-man
happiness. There are paren'.s
who if the conduct of their children
is a safe criterion, and it usually is
have little concerns in/ their off-springs
and I want t-, say that if we j
would have the world grow better In '
our day and generation we must be-gin
at the right end of the line and
first save the child. If he is to pass
through the period of adolescence :n
safety ,he must be trained properly
from the time he \i able to different-iate
between the rig.i* and the wrong.
If this is done and done well we can
determine in our own minds, if his
future life is going to be a blessing
or a curse.
"We as Christian iren must realise
our individual responsibility to our
own children and ti? children of our
next door neighbor as well. We must
be ever looking to the promotion of
conditions which make for their fu
lure happiness. There is a most pro
nounced need for a public demonstra
tion of every well meaning person a-long
UliS I lie.
"Let me call your special attention
to Just a few of the many things
which should require our very spec-ial
consideration. If the interests of
our children are jeopardized in any
manner, and we see things which are
likely to hamper their education or
stunt their moral growth, it should
be our duty to see tha. corrective men
sures are properly applied. By exer-cising
a proper care of the child and
placing him amid wholesome sur-roundings
you will solve many pro-blems
which are vexing In the world
today and causing ftj to wonder why
there are so many empty pews in our
churches on Sunday.
"If we were to tako the form of a
civic body or, say, establish a social
jcenter we would be a most important
factor in the life of our community.
Our children, and if we can reach our
children properly, we will in time
make a deep impression upon the
parent, who, if you will pardon an ex-pression
s.o com mo.mi these days,
•would sit up and take notice' of the
interest we are taking in the child,
an Interest which i3 bound to finally
spread a wholesoni" influence in the
home Itself. This, my friends, is
truly loving your neighbor as your-self.
"While these words may appear
high sounding, 'hey nevertheless,
struck a solar plex-is blow at the
cause of untold sorrow in the house-hold,
heart aches and finally a feel-ing
of indifference to children and ev-en
home ties themselves.
"If time permitted, I would like to
go into details concerning the miany
obstacles which hamper the work of
the child in the class room, but in
this hurried talk to you today, I can
pniy emphasize the necessity of form
ing a body of well moaning men, who
could act on committees, and report
to the general body the results of
their investigations and accompany
them with careful iecommendation?
"Athletics have :md no doubt will
always form a favorite pastime and
since they are with us today, why not
let us have them conducted—under
moral influence, making the ball field
the pool and billiard room and other
forms of recreation in harmonious re-lationship
with the principles of pur-ity
and goodness. I-et us have a sen-ior
base ball team, a junior base ball
team, basket ball tei>m and every-thing
else that will keep on growing
boys and girls full of enthusiasm,
keeping them conscious always of the
fact that we are really trying to helo
them and that they must therefor:;
be responsive and n-. Ip themselves.
"Let this body cf men be the nu-cleus
of .such a social centre, which
will work zealously for the establish
ment of a meeting place suitable to
meet our manifold r.teds and work to-gether
harmouiously in an- effort to
accomplish what should be the ap-proved
thought in our life, the train-ing
of the child, the awakening of a
deeper interest on the part of the
child's parents.
"I am going to leave this thought
with you gentlemen for careful
thought and deliberntion. A matter
such as 1 have outlined, is not be-yond
the range of possibility. It can
be made an actual fact and we will
all be the better for It.
"Our public educational system
needs attention and it you only took
the trouble to familiarize yourself
with existing conditions, you would
learn why it often is that our boys
and girls, when they attain their ma-jority,
have to acce.'t positions of min
or importance rsihoi than positions
of influence and importance. Such
an organization which I have in mind
should be officered by men of calm,
yet deliberate judgment, men prompt-ed
solely by a desire to bring about
the fulfillment of the objects desired.
"We should have a live wire for
president, a man who is not self seek-ing,
and not likely to use the organi-zation
as -a means of promoting his
personal ends or political aspirations,
if he has any, but prompted only as
I have said, by a desire to get the
