I "Corrupt and contented" is Just the
i definition tor the political situation In
! Camden, declares Charles II, Hayes,
i head of tho Nonpartisan League, an
organization of independent Itepublirans
(and Democrats, which clectert n free-
holder and three councilman in opposi
tion to the Halrd machine last fall.
The Nonpartisan League, represent
ing the independent thought of Cam
den, is the only organized opposition to
machine control in that city nnd is op
posed to the Democratic as well as the
Hoard organization in Camden countv.
In denying David Halrd's assertion
that "Camden may he contented with
its present rule, but is anything but
corrupt." Mr. Hayes pointed to the
counrilmanic election last fall in Cam
den's Fifth ward, where ho said a re
count had disclosed ten ballots more
In tho ballot-box than registered voters
in the fifth precinct of the ward.
Inquiry "1 lushed Up"
The recount, obtained by the Non
partisan League changed the election,
which on the face of the returns had
elected a ltaird councilman, nnd won
the election of .Tohn Dankehnan. the
Nonparllsan-Democratic candidate.
"A bluff nt an Investigation of the
affair has been made." said Mr. linyrs.
"hut it haH been hushed up nlcelv.
Ihoso ten excess ballots remain in the
bnllotbox today as far us I know ns a
result of the recount."
Mr. linyrs named political clubs In
various Camden wnrd in which he said
gambling was a common and conslnnt
occurrence, nnd recited an instance of
the methods used to keep down opposi
tion to them.
"In a certain ward a neighbor of one
of these clubs was glveu a political Job
in the machine administration," he said,
"to keep him silent on the rowdyism and
other conditions in the clubs.
"Speaking of the influence cxercNed
on the life of the city by the Balrd ma
chine." he continued, "T was talking
to n business man about the question of
Imving the city Lexowed. This man in
formed me that if he was to co-operate
in such a proposal it would mean the
ruin of his banking credit. He was no
small business man, cither. He is a
man In n position to command $100,000
credit nny time, but he dare do nothing
in opposition to the Baird .political i
regime."
Sir. Hayes pointed to the city highway
department as an instance of the ns
serted waste of public funds. ,
"Not so long ngo," he said, "the i
street commissioner got nn appropriation I
of $r0,000 to clean streets. There is very i
little ovldenre of it use for cleaning !
til" streets., but 1 do know that the first
thing done wns to raise the salaries of i
the employes in the department. They i
put two men nn the dump at $" a day. I
grading the dump. Tho appropriation
is being eaten up in wasteful cxpendl- J
tures for political henchmen Instead of I
the purpose for which it was appro
priated. "The highway department gel an
annual appropriation of $80,000. ti.", per'
cent of which goes for salnrles of office I
holders. During the war not a street
ivfls cleaned or paved on the. grounds
that tho government had pnt,nn em
bargo on supplies, hut the appropriation
was eaten up just ine same.
"There's just n plain 'sacrifice of pub
lic money lo keep' the organization lu
Uamdcn In power.
"Not a man is nppolntcd to office liij
either (ho city or county without the
approval of Balrd. Many business en
terprises In the city nr,e subsidized by
tho organization."
Mr. Hnyes said certain garage own
ers were subsidized by th rental of
space for the city machines when there
In space enough for hundreds of ma
chines on the city highway property nt
Twelfth and Federal streets.
.Jury System Called "Hotlon"
"Kvcry department In theflty has an
auto for the use of each official." de
clared .Mr. Hayes. "Yet with all the
space for these machines in the public
garage they arc allowed to bo put in
private enrages on n monthly rental
basis just to wibsidUc (lie garage, own
ers in Iho interest of tho organization.'
Mr. Hayes termed the jury system in
Camden "rotten, with nothing honor
nblo or honest in it."
"A regular game of 'don't you indict
my friend and t won't indict yours' Is
plajcd," he said.

Buying vs. Building
The price of a building is determined largely
by the cost of its present-day erection its replace
ment value.
It. is no great task to estimate the cost of
building a second Woolworth Building, an Eiffel
Tower or a Panama Canal.
And while not bo concrete, the same principle
holds true" in estimating the present-day trade
mark value of a Coca-Cola or an O'Sulllvan Rub
bcr Heel.
Yet it is difficult to get the same banker who
will buy for millions a trade-mark that has
"arrived" to consider the construction of a national
trade-mark at the cost of a few years and perhaps,
five or six hundred thousand dollars.
Prizes seem justly reserved for those with
constructive imagination.
Build your own trade-mark into a great struc
ture of national good will.

Millions of teeth are now cleaned in a
new way. You see them everywhere
white, glistening teeth. Perhaps they are
teeth you envy. Then make this simple
ten-day test and find out how to get them.
The great tooth wrecker is a viscous
film. You can feel it with your tongue.
It is ever-present, ever-forming. It clings
to teeth, enters crevices and stays.
The tooth paste docs not end it. The
ordinary tooth paste docs not dissolve it.
So it stays much of it and' may do
a ceaseless damage. Most tooth troubles
arc now traced to film.
Why Teeth Discolor
That film is what discolors not the
teeth. It is the basis of tartar. It holds
food substance which ferments and forms
acid. It holds the acid in contact with
the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, arc the chief cause of pyor
rhea. All these troubles arc constantly
increasing, despite the wide use of the
tooth brush. And the reason lies in that
clinging film, and brushing leaves much
of it intact.
Dentists long have known this. They
urge periodic dental cleaning to remove
'film and tartar. And dental science has
for years sought a way to constantly
combat film. ;
That way has now been found. Able
authorities have proved its efficiency by
convincing tests. Now leading dentists
everywhere arc urging its adoption.
For daily use the method is embodied
in a dentifrice called Pepsodent a mod
ern, scientific tooth paste. Millions have
already proved it. And a 10-Day Tube
is being sent to anyone who asks.
A Way to Fight Film
Pepsodent is based on Rcpsin, the dt
gestant of albumin. The film is albumi
nous matter. The object of Pepsodent is
to dissolve it, then to clay by day com
bat it.
But pepsin must be activated, and the
usual method is an acid harmful to the
teeth. So pepsin long seemed impossible.
But science has discovered a harmless
activating method. Convincing tests have
proved this. Now. pepsin in this form can
be every day applied. And in a tooth
paste which conforms to every modern
dental requirement.
iky
Now you arc urged to try if. Let it
argue for itself. Compare the results
with" your present methods. Let your
mirror tell tlic story.
There are few things more important.
Bad teeth cause endless troubles. And
teeth cannot be kept white, safe and
sound if you leave that film.
For your sake and your family's sake,
find out the way to combat it.
Results Are Quick
and Apparent
You can sco very quickly
what Pepsodent does, and our
book will tell you why.
Send the coupon for a 10
Day Tube. Note how clean
the teeth feel after using. Mark
the absence of the slimy film.
Sec how the teeth whiten as
the fixed film disappears.
Once learn what clean teeth
really mean and you'll always
want them.
