This $300 will be contributed by the carriers and clerks who are furloughed, and this from an office^hat has been adhering to the economy program of the President's for the past year. The Camden po*t office has been closing on Saturdays at noon for tfie furtherance of these economies, this afternoon closing on Saturdays "causing our citizens in country and town untold i rvc o n v e n le ne e. It must occur to. prudent citizens that a great deal is being imposed not only on clerks ami carriers hut on the citizens who pay the hills. One residential delivery a day is not ; enough. ? j VOI R LAST KIND WORD A few days ago a -ulwribor, who i> a iifll-kiunvn citizen, came to our j office and stopped his paper, foe the ivimhi, in- said, that it did not just Miit his- fancy. \Ve have since met him on the street and it is amusing j to note the look of surprise on his I face that we're still in existence, despite the fact that "he stopped his paper." Some day?and it won't bo long either?that man will be no more. His heart will be stilled forever. Neighbor friends will carry his lifeless clay to the silent city, and lay him to rest among the flowers; an obituary will be published in these columns, telling what a good neighbor ' and beloved citizen he was, (which we hope the recording angel will overlook, for charity's sake)? and in a short time he will be forgotten. As he lies out there in the cold, cold ground wrapped in the silent slumber of death he will never know that the last kind word spoken of him was by the editor of the paper, which he so spitefully stopped. Did you ever pause for a moment and think that your editor, whoever hov may be, will write your obituary some da\ '.' ? Winder Leader. At Federal Court M It. William*, K.

Washington, March 21.?Tha bill granting independence to the Philippine Inlands has become luw upon, approval of the president. It will be necessary for the Philippine legislature to approve the measure^ before October first, and to call a cohMitutional convention, which formalities doubtless will bj>^ promptly complied with. Independence will become effective July 4, 11)45, or as soon thereafter as practicable when all condi- | lions are met. Tariff duties between the two countries will be gradually put intodbflfect. The principal difference between the present measure and the one rejected last year by the J'hilippine legislature is the fact thut the new one provides for a ban do nmajvL-by the United States after intiapamionce of her military reservations in the islands. This countYy however will retain naval reservations pending" a conference following independence.- Real freedom will be the portion of the people of the islands, and everybody seems to be happy. # Each administration sinco the World War has had a difficult problem to deal with in tho matter of allowances for veterans. Congress, realizing the potency of the soldier vote, has been disposed to be liberal. Each president, realizing the heavy expense to be met by taxation, has endeavored to put the brakes on. Bonus legislation, in tho passage of the original bill or in authorizing a part cash payment, was vetoed successively by Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, only to be passed over executive disapproval. Last year, Roosevelt, in view of the condition of the country owing to the depression, secured drastic reductions in veteran allowances. This year with the elec-j tions coming 'on. Congress has made j every possible effort to restore most j of the reductions which were made,; and embodied its conclusions in a bill i which passed both houses, together with a return now of five per cent i and five per cent more on the first of July next, of the fifteen per cent reduction in the pay of Federal employes. The bill carrying the restorations appears to be headed straight for a presidential veto, with little prospect of passage over it. President Roosevelt is preparing to take a vacation, and no doubt he needs it. He expects to go on a flahing trip of a week or ten days off the Florida coast. In this plan he displays his usual independence and disregard of precedent in leaving the capital city while Congress is in session. He has no fear that anything can be put over on him in his absence. Under the constitution he has toy days withifPwhich to return a b'lll without his approval, and that will be about the length of his vacation ? For some time a strike has loomea in the automobile industry, with po- [ tential possibilities of disastrous con- | sequences. This is the best season of j tin year for manufacturers, who were j di.-posed to make concessions to avoid trouble, and the laboring classes realizing that millions of men are out of work, were disinclined to push their demands in full to the extreme. The Purulent with his usual facility for amicable adjustment, has brought peace. The Republicans were prepared ti> take advantage of a possible situation of industrial strife, but an unkind fate has robbed them of that issue, at least for the present, and there is not much need for fear a.s to the future. The situation was grave, and the administration left no stone unturned to prevent the opposing sides from going to extremes. Other industries with their employes were watching the situation, as the prc?t;ge ,.f the N. R.* A. and the entire recovery program were at stake, as well a< the welfare of the Uem-? a" .< party.

The silver received wouh: be deposited in the Treasury, which would be authorized to issue .-ilver lertifn-atos against it. Advocates of expansion of the currency were enthusiastically in favor, while opponents fear debasement Or too much Inflation. Passage of the bill or the Senate depends almost entirely updn the prospect of executive approval, no intimation of which has bef^A forthcoming. The President i.s lieved to be opposed to any legist* tion which would broaden extensively the further monetary use of the. white metal.

Ward, who was married the previous day, was arrested until after the inquest.
