P. as Well as Democratic
Candidates
NEW BRUNSWICK. July 27
Harvest home vote-gathering, alwayi
popular In .Middlesex county, took t
spurt last night at Kingston, when
one of the celebrations was puller
off with the assistance of phalanxes
of representatives of both the G. O
P. and the Democrats.
Among the Republicans presonl
were Charles Foreman, avowed can
didate for the surrogate nomination;
Freeholders Clarence M. Haight and
J.ewls J. BellolT. who are to »oek re
election; Under Sheriff Fred Unwan
and Jail Warden Alfred l’uersrhner,
thought to be candidates for Sheriff

on the fast-slipping reins.
FOR MORATORIUM ON
WORLD'S OBLIGATIONS
AURORA, III., July 27.—Repre
sentative Ira C. Copley, of this city,
who has just returned from sn ex
tended economic study of Europe
for the United States government,
favors a moratorium on International
obligations, he said today.
"No man after visiting the ruined
towns and villages of France," he
said, "can question France’s moral
right to reparations. Hut if France
was to get that which she asks it
would bring about economic collapse
of the civilised world.”
He said thnt the first step neces
sary to restore prosperity to the
United States and world, was an
agreement to a moratorium for at
least two years.
If at the end of this period dur
ing which all interest would be can
celled and no International stepa be
paved, the world shall have failed to
approach normal conditions, the
moratorium should be extended he
said.
"Sc long as Germany must pay the
tremendous reparations France de
mands. Germsny will have to flood
the world’* markets with her goods
to get the money and to win the
world’s market she must sell her
goods after all costs of distribution
are met, at a lower figure than those
of the countries to which she sends
her products."

l EVER USED
coal for delivery in the United
States by the middle of September.
E. D. Enney. president of the Cory
Mann-Gcorge Corporation, repre
senting the largest collieries in the
United Kingdom, said here yester
day. He added that orders were
slackening because of soaring
prices and inability of operators to
guarantee delivery. Already. he
said. he tinderstood forty-three
Shipping Board and fifty foreign
vessels were ready to bring fuel to
American ports. Chiefly New York.
Boston and Philadelphia.
The rush of American orders Is
already placed, taxing the British
railways and loading facilities at
ports to their capacity. Mr. Enney
said, explaining that this, together
with the fact that British mer
chants were not neglecting their
regular exports to European and
South American ports, was limiting
the amount of coal that the Amer
ican market could obtain from the
United Kingdom. Practically every
Eastern railway and public utility
company has placed orders for Bri
tish coal, he said, adding that for
the first time in history English coal
in considerable quantify is being i
brought to this country.

ling shipments from England was

Coal dealers said that public util
ities are supplied for a short period
as are gas and electric companies

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY
Samuel Wilson, in Letter to
Governor Edwards, Chal
lenging Statements
Samuel Wilson, of the Depart
ment of Law Enforcement, has writ
ten to Governor Edward I. Edwards
a letter which challenges the figures
the governor quoted in his address
at Morristown when he said that a
stamp tax on wine and beer would
net the government at least $1,760,
000,000 annually. Mr. Wilson goes
into the matter of statistics and
shows quite conclusively that, were
Governor Edwards’ figures correct,
the income tax would be a mere
bagatelle compared with the beer
wine tax. In fact, each family in
the United States would have to con
sume two gallons of beer or wine a
lay, says Mr. Wilson. His letter in
Its entirety follows:
‘HON. EDWARD I. EDWARDS,
‘‘Governor of New Jersey.
"Dear Sir:
Were you in earnest, or only try
ing to fool the public, in your address
it Morristown advocating light wines
md beer, when you said that ‘a small
stamp tax on wine and beer would
let the government at least $1,750,-1
100,000 annually?’ You are classed
is a hanker, and financiers ought
lever to juggle with figures. Kind
y permit an analysis:
"One billion, seven hundred and
Ifty million dollars would mean a
ax of $16.55 on each man, woman
ind child in the nation, or $82.75
n each family. You have forgotten
hat before the Eighteenth Amend
nent became operative thirty-three
dates, containing over fifty-five mil
ion population had adopted prohl
fition laws, and your tax could not
ie forced upon them, so that the
dd wet states would have to pay
our $1,750,000,000, or—-In round
lumbers—$175 to each of-a million
amilies; half of these being non
Irinjters, the tax would be doubled,
ir $350. Again, some ten other
tates, Including New Jersey, would
ie free from your Federal beer and
tine tax. because they have adopted
tringent prohibition laws, and
'fide Sam couldn’t collect a cent un
it those laws are repealed. This
lould swell the figures enormously,
’he income tax would be a bagatelle
ompared with your beer-wine tax
-so far as plain people are concern
d. As a financier, have you eon
Idered. Governor, how much booze
he people would have to drink to
aise this revenue?
"In the fiscal year, ending June
0, 1919, the last before war-time
rohibition, the total consumption of
ino and beer In this country was
4,639,870 barrels, and the total rev
nfle at high war prices was $118,
11,211. This is only $1,631,588,789
sort of your figures.
"At the tax rate of $1.50 per bar
>1 on beer, the current rate, the
ublic would have to consume one
Ulion one hundred und sixteen mil
on barrels to earn your promised
evenue, or—in round numbers—
sn barrels, or 300 gallons, for every
tan, woman and child in the na
lon—a gallon a day, excepting Sun
ays; or five gallons per family per
ay. Cutting out the allowance for
the old prohibition states, and elim
inating non beer-drinkers like you
and myself, your wet constituent*
would have to provide human tank
age for twenty gallons a day ror
each family. . ...
“If you increase the tax ten-fold
to $15 a barrel, the human tankage
required to raise your ridiculous es
timated revenue would be two gal
lons per day per family.
"Reductio ad absurdum? l es, but
the absurdity is nil on your part
in making such a wild statement,
and expecting to get away with “•
to say nothing of your expecting the
people to believe that you could in
fluence a congress now two-thirds
dry to write a manifest lie into the
national statutes.
“There is a maxim figures can
not lie.’ but it is also true that liars!
can figure; and, as a precaution, I
would suggest that you get some;
high school boy in your bank to go
over your statistics before making
your next speech.
“Respectfully.
“SAMUEL WILSON,
“Assistant State Superintendent m
Charge of Department of Law En

his own words. The rescriptlon 3
follows: One pint best whiskey, r
six ounces raw linseed oil, four v
ounces wild cherry syrup, three 3
ounces glycerine, four ounces rock c
candy. Mix in a crock very thor- 4
oughly, ns the ingredients do not s
blend readily. Put enough In a bot
tle for a day nnd sip It frequently r
throughout the day. Shake well be- 4
fore each sip. From four to six t
ounces Is the normal dose. It Is the 1
llneede oil that does the healing, but r
the system wont take It up ar.d heal t
well without the whiskey. A bad 1
casq, should bo cured in about five t
or six months, but light cases take r
usually only a few weeks. c
