A LITTLE GAS, PLEASE Somewb-re along in Novemlnr the word was passed around that th- Sea Isle City gas plant would shut down lor "a week or two to make rep Jrs." The week has been drawn out to a month and the month into *■ veral, and yet there is no gas. True, Improvements have been made at the gas plane probably to t’<v sum ot two or three thousand dollaia, a." la claimed by the owners. But that does not give us gas. And the town wants it. and needs 1l All winter streets have been without light and bou.-cholders without the use ol their gas ranges and heaters.

Let's have 1l REPUBLICANS PUT NATION FIRST Senator John Snarp Williams, ol Mississippi, lormer Democratic floor leader of the House ot KepresentaUves, and now one ol the loremosl spokesmen ot his party in the Senate, brands those ot his colleagues who op posed ratification ot the unamended peace treaty as would-be murderers. Senator Williams declares that it "was the deliberate purpose ot those who fought ratification of the peace treaty to protract the Illness and bring abotr the death of President Wilson." There can be nu doubt that Mr. Williams refers U> the Republicans who Americanised the treat 1 ' because be himself voted against ratification on the final

ballot.

It la true that the Republicans ol the Senate felt itr more concern for the lives and welfare of 110,000,(>00 Americans than they did lor the single individual in the White House. Ur. Williams would have us believe that American sovereignty and the future liberties of ail our people should have been sacrificed in order that the convalescence of Mr. Wilson might have been hastened. The sympathies of Republican Senators were with the sick President as man to man. hut they never permitted his condition influence their action on the treaty. They considered the destiny of a lion of more moment than the transient indisposition of a President. PLAYING ENGLAND'S GAME.

HEARD OWN BURIAL SERVICE Dying Millionaire Had What Might Be Called a “Rehearsal" in His

Bedroom.

When Mr. Parker Mason, a shrewd and level headed millionaire of the United State*, was on the point of dying a ftw years ago he conceived the quaint idea of having a rehearsal of his own funeral service In his bedroom. He called in a Presbyterian minister, and a few members of the church choir, and the /nil service was rehesrned In his presence and that of his lamlly and a number of his friends. ; The clergyman preached an eloquent j and touching sermon on the virtues ; and charities of the dying man, end j the choir sang oipropriate hymns. At the conclusion of the service, which the millionaire had followed with the do*»ft Interest and attention, he warmly complimented both clergyman and "bolr on their performance, and after dismissing them sent for an undertaker and made the necessary arrangements with him and had a personal interview with tht pall-besr«-rs. He died ten hours later, and ws 1 buried with the same service to whl-h he hsd listened when alive.—Montreal Herald.
