It is a preposterous insult to the very State for any person to even hint that this beast that was of the cloth should not remain behind the heav iest iron bais of the commonwealth, especially since there are at present three other clergymen in New Jersey who are charged with similar crimes. There should be no quarter, no sympathy, shown a man who has been educated for the ministry and who wears and hides behind the cloth for double-edged pur poses—to appear respectable and to take advantage of his station in life by ruining young girls. There is a measnre of condonetnent for certain classes in this world, but education and “calling” reverse every instinct of feel ing toward the Cordova strata. Jersey justice is swift, but let us pray the Board of Pardons to make it unrelenting at this time. Intolerance is Antiquated Religious, political and other forms of intolerance are dying natural deaths. It is unnecessary to make the statement except as a means of pointing out the folly of perpetuating the antiquated prejudices of. people in this town. There was a time not many years back when “for eigners,” as newcomers were then called, were segregated to the extent that they should never dare raise their voices in protest against the methods of the existing powers. In those days it was hinted to the “foreigner” that he had no right to participate in the one-horse legis lation of a one-horse village; and as for holding a public office, the fact that he was a “foreigner” raised the proper barriers. But times have changed and Pleasantville’s present prosperity and growth are due to the influx of “foreigners.” It is a safe assertion that future greatness, if it comes, will be ascribed to the “foreigners’ ” influence. If we follow the trend of beautiful sentiment, Pleas antville Borough should elect to her legislative body the oldest citizens, men who have ^almost outlived their use fulness, but sentiment be damned when it comes to giving the people good returns for the money collected as taxes. The town has grown and there is only one place for the old-time sentiment and prejudices—the hell box, the nat ural receptacle for printers' worn out types. The town needs rejuvenation; the reform must come through the channels of the most intelligent of men in our Council. Down with the old-time prejudices! Let us raise up men for public office who have qualifications, and having them will use them to the best advantage of the taxpayers. I The town is today burdened because of bungling in days gone by and the errors were not of those who are called “foreigners.” They were due in the main to ignorance ol the outside and the business worlds. A change is needed, and it is good policy to proceed | upon the assumption that we have men fully qualifiec and willing to wear the toga of office and who will main , tain the integrity of the office, and that anything they may do will be for the greatest good. The town has been holding an attitude of suspicion and hostility toward the “foreigners'’ who have never failed to support every movement for the public good. A continuation of this form of persecution is to bring back into modern times something of the intolerance which for | so many centuries was the curse of mankind.
