CO HITT BE TWO-SIDED MOVEMEHT FOE B0T8 Much rammer.: has been caused ; In these hectic days of the fight by the action of the L nited States between the "wets” and "dry*' Courts in this State interfering much stress is being laid on the with the decisions of the Public argument that people cannot be

made sober by law, but must be

educated in sobriety.

Without entering into this fight, all will concede that if education is to be relied on to do this work the start must be made with the boy. The boy of today is the father of the man of tomorrow. What that man will be depends on what is made of the boy of today in integrity, morals, initiative and energy. It is also conceded that the proper indiiduals to take the lead in this schooling is the “big brothers,"

the men of today.

In some sections work along this line has made decided headThe Y. M. C A. has taken up the work, especially in rural sections and small towns through what is known as the group movement. This work is absolutely non-sectarian and its purpoK is to cultivate all tides of the boy’s character, bringing out all that is good in him, and giving him encouragement in whatever is the bent of his nature, re-. ligion being only one ef the oh-'

jeerives.

In Gloucester County the move- \ ment has made great headway I j and is backed by the most influential men in the county. i At an annual dinher held in Pitman last week over three hun-1 dred were preterit, and the work was given a great impetus. Eighty-two groups, with 1800 boys enrolled in twenty-five communities. and over one hundred men enrolled as leaders, tells the atory of what has been accom-

plished.

Who can compute what this means for the future manhood of Gloucester County? Truly the sown should bring forth a plentiful harvest. Preliminary meetings to start such a work in Cape May County

by granting stays bolding up the rates fixed, the cry being that it was interfering with the rights of the State. The complaints were not without good ground, but the State should be consistent in this

of “home rule." The

Legislature at the last minute before recessing last week passed the bill relieving trolley companies of their franchise obligations made with municipalities to pave between their tracks and for a specified distance on each side of their rails. These franchise obligations are pretty near uniform throughout the State and were accepted by the trolley companies srith a full understanding of the obligations assumed when the franchises were granted, and for the Legislature to step in and relieve the companies of the obligation and throw the expense on die taxpayers is not only a flagrant violation of the principle of home rule, but the ugly word "steal," which has been applied to the measure in some quarters, is not on'y not out of place, but the methods by which the measure was put through the Assembly at the last minute has a sinister appearance, and if people raise their eyebrows when discussing the matter the Assembly has no right to
