E. ^Florance prosecutor of Middlesex to s-'-vveed Judge George S. Wi" Silzer, Governor Fielder has made an excellent selection. Mr. Floraiice has all the qualifications for a good prosecutor and the people, whoe-3 attorney he now becomes, have every reason to feel satisfied. Perth Amboy has no complaint to ^ make in the appointment. In fact, this city is pleased that such a high class man has been named. It is evident that the governor had good advice from the county leaders. Thoy have backed a man whose excellent character and great ability is well Known anu nave placed themselves above criticism from any source. It was natural for people of Vert'i Amboy to desire to see Joseph 10. Strieker advanced to the prosecutor Bhtp. He has filled the office of assistant prosecutor with distinction and ability. He seemed to be in line for the promotion. But we all realize that more or less politics are mixed up In appointments of this kind, and, as long as only first class men are named—men who put pub lic duty above party obligations, 110 fault can be found when the appoint ments are not always as we would have them. Prosecutor Klorance will make a good official. He repre sents the type of man that should he eecured for such a public trust. WHERE TO KEEI* COOL. It was hot yesterday, That goes without saying. It is hot today. The weatherman promisee something cooler for tomorrow, but that Is another story. The feature we would dwell upon now is the heat of yesterday. Would you believe it if you were told that yesterday afternoon, right here in •Perth Amboy, it was so cool that a shawl would not be uncomfortable about one's shoulders? To you who live up town that sounds a bit ridiculous, doesn't it. Nevertheless, It le a fact. While you were sweltering in the heat your friends who walked down *?<Γ" the~*BluV ^overlooking" the bay were enjoying a breeze that seemed to come right off the ocean. It was delightfully cool—so cool, in fact, Jiat, as already said, some persons /.own there would not have objected a shawl to put about their tulders There are few cities, .1 where the people can find 'easant spot within walking ν,'Η distance and right in their own borders. Perth Amboy people are fortunate. But what are we doing to make it possible for all our people to enjoy this cool and refreshing spot with Its beautiful view? Is the delightful breeze of the Bluff to be reserved for a comparative few who are fortunate enough to have homes down there, or are all the people to have a place there where they can go on hot days like yesterday and enjoy themselves as well as get re lief from the humid atmosphere further up town? It is a remarkable fact that this breeze off the water does not reach very far inland. In fact, sometimes (he breeze is not felt in the next block back. One must be on the Bluff to enjoy it. Only a compara tive few realize how cool it is down there because they feel it Is too hot to walk that far, knowing that there is no place where they may feel free to sit down and rest or enjoy the benefits for an hour or two, or possibly for an afternoon. While there are two bathing beaches now, the private owners are likely to fence them in at any time, just as has been done by property owners south of !„ewis street. Is it not the plain duty of the city to provide a place for all the people at this most delightful spot a place from which the public can never be barred? What do you think about it? BEGINNING Ol·' HOSTILITIES. One month ago yesterday the Kaiser declared war on Russia and began the movement for the invasion of France. There is something very significant in this. To declare war on Russia and at once prepare to send troops into France sounds rather peculiar. If the war was de clared against Russia it would be natural to suppose that the troops would be sent to invade that country, not a nation with which Germany at that time was at peace. Germany knew that France was an ally of Russia, but even if she was, when the war was supposed to be over a question of Slav domin.i lion in the Balkans, France, with hoi Latin race, might have felt disposed to keep hands off. But what was France to think when a declaration of war against Russia was imme diately followed · with a mobilization of German troops on the French frontier? Naturally France asked Germany what she meant. Any other nation would do the same thing. As Germany gave no satisfactory ex planation France, for self protection also began to mobilize her troops. Thus the trouble was on. The more the details of the com mencing of hostilities are studied the more it appears as if there was something far more at stake than the mere punishment of Servia for the killing of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. To follow a declara tion of war against Russia by a mobilization of troops against France will always be an important point for the historians of the future. What did the Kaiser really mean? THE STAItK AM) STIUI'KS. There was something unusually inspiring about those bright new llags, the glorious stars and stripes, floating in the breeze above the school houses where the children gathered thie morning to begin their fall work. The flag has a significant meaning, indeed, today. It repre sents the only great power in the world where peace now reigi.s, supreme. Beneath its protecting folds here in Perth Amhoy the children of all the warring nations sit side by side, friends and play mates, imbibing the spirit of democracy that some day may guar antee the peace of the world. The women of Newport are going to make some self-denials, too. They are considering buying all their gowns in America. Poor things, what a terrible sacrifice they are making. But patriotism is a great thing. Speaking of the return of pros perity, what's the matter with the boom in Europe? '*.· ·. Duel Was Called Off. A young bachelor who was staying at a fashionable spa near Dresden was challenged to a duel by the husband of a young woman with whom he had flirted. The bachelor, who Is an ex pert amateur boxer, replied that the challenge was accepted under the usual conditions—namely, choice of •weapons His choice was for four ounce boxing gloves. The husband eent word that "the matter may now Jje considered as settled." HOW LAND MING HAS BEEN MISSED ι ^ ΊίΤΡ" 1 I have seen the painted eavagre cut the white man's scalp away; I have seen great gladiators going proud ly to the fray; I have looked at Julius Caesar as he led his legions past; I have seen Napoleon's army crushed and crumpled up at last, I have watched Intrepid Peary climbing over hills of snow— I have seen them on a oanvas at a mo tion picture show. I have seen the martyred Lincoln strike the shackles from the slave; I have watched Tltanlo victims as they cank beneath the w^ve; I have watched Columbus kneeling kt proud Isabella's feet; I have seen ' j Queen of Sheba when her outfit as complete; I have gazod upon Ulysses when his hopes were sagging low— I have seen them on a canvas at a mo tion picture show. I have seen the daring David strike the great Goliath down; I have seen Queen Mary sadly putting off her precious crown; I have gazed on Cleopatra sitting In her barge of state, I have seen young Alexander do the things that made him groat; Τ have even gazed on Adam when the angel hade him go— I have seen them on a canvas at a mo plcturo show. Getting Ahead. "May I have α fow moments' con> versatlon with you?" asked the young man who thought the firm would have to go out of business If he deserted It. "Yee," replied the general manager; "come in. What can I do for you?" "I have been working here for near ly seven years." "Is it as long as that?" "Yes. I feel that I ought to be en titled to some recognition." "I think so, too." "The cost of living keeps steadily iucreaelng." "I have noticed that it does." "Γ thought if you understood the sit uation you might be willing to In crease my salary." '<TVhat are you getting now?" "Twenty-seven dollars a week." "You ought to have more. I will have you raised to thirty." Then the young man hurried out to telephone to hla wife that she might close the bargain for the flat that was to cost $15 a month more than they had been paying. THE LAME DUCK. "I see your hus band Is becoming a tangolst." "Oh, no. He walks that way because he ran a taok Into ble foot night before lait." A Reasonable Exaotlon. "You muat make me a promise be fore J will consent to be your wife." "Name it, darling- I will promise anything you auk." "J am afraid you're too eager. Think well. This le a very serious matter. I don't want you to promise now and regret when It Is too late." "Tell roe wlaat you wish me to prom ise. I'm «ure there Ι» nothing I will not be glad to do for you." "I'm almost afraid to mention It. I don't wish to make you think me un reasonable." "Please don't keep me In suspense." "Well, then, promise me that when we are married you will not ca.ll It lior·· da oovere' as you did last night, right In front of the waiter," In Other Word*. "I am not ashamed to say that I vote as my wife thinks I ought to vote. She has more time than I have to Study political conditions and I am perfectly willing to a )ept her Judg ment." "In other word», you have the cour age of your wife'» convictions." Sure Thing. When lovely woman stoops to folly And gets the man she trlea to kill.
