VOLUME XXX. NO. 130
TUESDAY, DECEMBER St, 1903.
THE NEWS IS FOR ALL.
The EVENING NEWS was greatly surprised yesterday to learn
that so intelligent and progressive a body of men as the Perth Amboy
♦
Mutual Aid Society, composed, as it is, of some of the leading Hebrew
residents of this vicinity, had held a special meeting at which lhi<
newspaper was accused of being prejudiced against the people of that
race. It is evident that there is a misunderstanding somewhere. We
were accused of giving undue prominence to happenings detrimental
to the Jews and of suppressing these same things when done by
others.
To this we plead not guilty. The EVENING NEWS has tried to
conduct its columns with absolute impartiality, treating all alike.
We believe that in no other way can a newspaper succeed. We hold
that the success already attained by the EVENING NEWS is con
clusive evidenee that it has been fair, always laboring in the interest
of the people.
The EVENING NEWS does not pretend to try to please every
body. Such a thing is impossible, especially when a newspaper is in
dependent and takes an aggressive stand on all questions, as tho
EVENING NEWS does.
There are the good and the bad in all races. The EVENING
NEWS will always try to separate the sheep from the goats wherever
they may be found, praising the good and shoeing up the bad at every
opportunity, no matter whom it affects.
We cannot all see things alike. Occasionally a man will take ex
ception to something which, to others, appears perfectly proper or, at
least, the objectionable feature is not brought out until the man who
feels that he has been hurt points out what, to him, ssems to be the in
justice. Upon such occasions, when a respectable newspaper is the
offending party, it ia always" ready to make amends in justice to itself
and the party with a grievance.
This seems to be the case in question. Objection was taken to a
line which appeared in the EVENING NEWS recently. The NEWS
Is absolutely innocent of any wrong motive in the matter, but when
the person who felt agrieved complained to this office, the NEWS ex
pressed regret at having caused him to feel the way he did about it,
assuring him that while it was felt that his complaint* was entirely
unwarranted, yet the NEWS was ready to do whatever he might sug
gest that would be honorable to both, in an effort to undo any wrong
that he felt had been done him.
As far as being prejudiced against the Jews, the EVENING
NEWS is one of the greatest admirers of that race. The Jews are,
without a doubt, one of the most progressive people on the earth.
They only need half a chance to succeed and often outshine all other
races. There ia no doubt that the persecutions which the Jews are
subjected to in Russia is due to the fact that if left alone they would
grow and prosper, outstripping the Russians themselves. It is for
self preservation as much fis anything else that the Russians keep the
Jews down or drive them from the country.
What the Jews can do is plainly demonstrated in any country
where they have an equal chance with their fellows. The Jews are
the financiers of the world. The great llothchilds, of England ; the
Guggenheims, the Lewisohns and Strauses of our own country are
examples. Starting with nothing, these families have, within^ a gen
eration or two, built up enormous fortunes, entirely by their own
pluck, energy and shrewd business ability. All the Jews ask for is a
chance to make good for themselves and the great majority of them
will soon set the pace for others to follow.
In the New York Globe last night, Dr. 0. Ward Crampton, direc
tor of physical education in the New York schools, in discussing im
mlghition and the development of a new American "type," said:
''Take the children of Jewish parents who have come here since
1890, and what do we find? That they are a healthier, sturdier, more
aggressive, handsomer looking race than their crushed or poorly de
veloped parents. They outclass, too, by far the children of their own
race born on the other side."
We need not go outside of Perth Amboy to see the wonderful
progressiveness of the Jews. It has been said "Show me a place
where there are maity Jews and I will show yoif a place of progress."
Much of the credit for making Perth Amboy whai it is today must be
given to the Jewish citizens. When a Jew does a thing he does it
right. Look at our business blocks and largest and most substantial
buildings, nearly all of them have been erected and are owned by
Jews. The city would be insignificant without them.
Realizing all this, it goes without saying that the Hebrews are
numbered among some of our best citizens. Many of them are self
made, coming here and, while asking odds of no one, have become our
leading and most prosperous business men in their respective lines
The EVENING NEWS will continue to give the people all the
news when it is n^we without fear or favor. By doing this in the pasl
it has been able to build up its present large circulation so that todaj
it is estimated that on an average of 25,000 people of this vicinity read
the NEWS every night. Without a doubt this newspaper is the bes1
advertising medium in Middlesex county, particularly for the mer
ohants of Perth Amboy. The sound business sense of the Hebrew race
tells them that they need such a medium and it will not let them in
jure their business for any fancied agrievance.
But why have any such grievance? The EVENING NEWS ii
published for all. It wants to treat all alike. It believes in the great
Roosevelt doctrine of a "square deal." If any man, or body of men
believe that the NEWS is not treating them fairly, let us hear about it
Our object is to please the public and if any part of the public is nol
bating pleased we want to know it and we want to know tho roasoi
why. We assure one and all that we stand ready to do our part to
ward bringing about an honorable adjustment of any misunderstand
tag that may arise. . -

WASHINGTON
SIDE LIGHTS
ON*; KKHlbT OF VISIT.
Washington, Dec.'z11—-The Ameri
can Commission to Liberia accpm
plielied one thing of advantage to
this country, at least. Since the dis
tinguished Americans visited the
African Republic, there has been a
great demand for waist-coats of the
pattern worn by Eminett J. Scott,
of Alabama, one of the Commis
sioners and secretary to Booker T.
Washington.
Scott's fancy vests carried a pe
culiar appeal to his colored brothers
In far away Africa and consular re
ports state that fancy vests from
America are eagerly sought In
Liberia.
Shoes like thoso worn by Com
missioner George Fale, of Georgia,
can be sold In Liberia for ten times
their value! in America and the cra
vats that adorned the bosom of
Commissioner Roland Post Fallner,
of Pennsylvania, are regarded as
highly as precious stones. 1
The effort has been to strike an
«verage of the clothes worn by the
three and to secure a tout, ensemble
composed of the most striking arti
cles In each rommislsoner's ward
robe.
"The recent visit of the American
Commissioners has opened a new
chapter in the history of the coun
try." says a report to the State De
partment from Charge d'Affaires
George W. Kilts. "The demand for
American goods has received a now
impetuB." So great has been this de
mand, continues the report, that
iiany European merchants have
placed orders for goods in Europe
nade In Imitation of American mer
chandise. When an American ship
irrlvee at Monrovia the local mer
:iiants rush frontically to purchase
he cargo for fear that they will be
1 riven out of business If they allow
■lvals to secure the American stuffs.
Ellis says that the proflts are very
einptlng· and that with better trans
portation facilities, America could
-ontrol the market in most Unes.

payments and that Hippocrates used It
In medicine, applying It to the skin.

the amount of fuel used and tho re
sults have just been announced.
I Professor W. F. M. Goes, now
(lean of the University of Illinois,
who had charge of the experiments
makes the statement that of the to
tal 90,000,000 tons of coal ueed,
10,080,090 tons are lost through the
heat in the gases that are discharged
from the stacks of the locomotives;
3,640,000 tons are lost through
cinders and sparks; 5,040,000 tons
are loat through radiation, leakage
of steam and water; 2,880,000 tons
are lost through unconsumed fuel in
the aehes; and 720,000 tons are lost
ithrough the incomplete combustion
of gases. In addition, 18,000,000
tons are consumed in starting lires,
in moving the looomotive to Its
train, in hacking trains into or out
of eldtrfge ànd id keeping the loco
motive hot while standing.
LOWER RATH ON ART.
Washington,Dec.21:—Word comes
from Paris that all Ebirope is in a
turmoil over the operation of that
section of the Payne-Aldrich. tariff
law that allows works of art and
antiquities to come Into the United
States at a much reduced tariff rate.
During the first sixty days that the
new law was operative, the Increase
in exportation to.,Mlft United States
of works of art from France alone,
was 481 per cent, over the same
period of last year.
Europeans are fearing lest Ameri
cans with money will· now rob their
art galleries of their old masters and
treasurer that the high tariff in
the United States has kept away from
America until this year.
In 1908 the value of the works of
art exported from France to the
United States was $368.097 while
during the first sixty days that the
new law* wa». operative the value of
the art exports was $1,728,023.
