Time To Do Something What is Perth Amboy going to do about commission form, of gov ernment 1 Over a week has now passed since the petitions, signed by more than the required number of citizens, were filed with the city clerk asking that the matter be put to the vote of the people. Apparently that is as far as it has gone. This matter cannot be ignored. The law says: " I pon such peti tion or request in writing being tiled with the city clerk, the said city clerk shall forthwith call an election to be held on the third Tues day following the date of the filing of such petition with him, and shall cause public notice of the time and place of holding the same to be given by advertisement, signed by himself, and set up in at least twenty public places in such cities and published in at least one newspaper, printed and published in such city, and if no newspaper is printed or published in such city, then a newspaper circulated therein, for at least six days previous to the time of such election.'' But the publication of a notice of such an election by the city clerk is a mere formality. The real question is whether or not any effort is to be put forth to carry the proposition, now that it is be fore the people. This special election is going to cost the taxpayers of Perth Amboy several thousand dollars. The money should not be wasted. Even though the proposition should be defeated, the least we can expect is a campaign of education to enlighten the people on the general subject and lay the foundation for another try at some future time. It has been the experience in most cities that it takes at least two elections to put across the commission form of government. The first time it is tried the idea is so new that the pcopLe are loath to make the change at once. But the matter is laid before them in such a clear and comprehensive manner during the first campaign that even though the old system of government is continued, the people are constantly drawing contrasts thereafter with the promises ruade by those advocating the commission government, so that they are ready to vote in favor of the change the next time they ha-ve-tllfij opportunity. » _ - — » ,It ought not to betnpa&igiry for Perth Amboy to have two elec tions to bri^if this change in the form of government. We uj in ι ifffi, striking examples of the success of the commission government in the different municipalities where it has been adopted that there ought not to be any hesitancy on the part of the people to adopt it here. It is true that in some cities it has not been as great a success as it might have been, but no city has been any worse off for the change, and so many have been so greatly benefited that there is every reason for a favorable vote in this city. It may be said that the responsibility for bringing about a special election on the question of commission form of government in Perth Amboy at this time rests entirely upon Peter A. Peterson. It was comparatively easy for one man to thus secure signatures on a peti tion calling for an election, but it is quite another thing to conduct an energetic campaign to carry the issue at the polls. Having led the city up to this point and forced the election upon the people, what does Mr. Peterson propose to do toward informing the public on the matter and carrying the fight through to a logical conclusion? Who are his backers and with whom is he associated in this move ment ? wnue inc λ \ λλι.νι^ Λ£,ννί> is neartny m ravor of the commis sion form of government for municipalities, and believes it would be greatly to the advantage of Perth Amboy to adopt it, it holds no brief for Mr. Peterson and it is in no way responsible for the issue beiiifî brought before the public at this time. In fact, we rather re -^rpf^that the matter has been so forced upon us when the interests of the people are so greatly absorbed in the war, and particularly in the midst pf a political campaign. If for no other reason than the expense involved, we feel that the election should have been put off until a more propitious tfaie. However, it is here. The law says that it must be held, and it is up to the people of Perth Amboy to give the matter the considera tion it deserves. After aW, securing the necessary number of signa ture» to the petition, while comparatively easy, is one of the most disagreeable tasks to perform. Now that Mr. Peterson has aceom plis'ied this ought not those favoring the change in government take advantage of the situation and get behind the movement with full energy and a determination to win? The Trenton Times, in discussing the workings of the commission form of government as applied to that city, where it has now been in operation for six years, says: "When Trenton was leading the fitfht, first for the enact ment of commission government law by the legislature, and subsequently for its adoption here, every political boss worth while lined up solidly against the plan. The old machines of Trenton were of a decent sort; the kind that were willing to go as far as they could in the matter of providing good gov ernment. It was not the bosses but the vicious log-rolling system that the people of Trenton fought and fought to a finish. "There are no hidden powers nowadays in the municipal affairs of Trenton; the only political bosses are the duly elect ed commissioners, and they are keenly responsive to the public will. Our government is genuinely non-partisan, con ducted strictly in the interests of the taxpayers." It might interest the people of Perth Amboy greatly to have some one come up from Trenton and explain in detail the advantage that the commission form of government has been to that city. We are 'lire that the people here could readily comprehend the improve ment brousrht about, when compared to our present complicated and irresponsible method. There are also men in Jersey City ready and willing to sing the praises of the commission government as experi er.ee there. As lonii as the people of Perth Amboy are to be called upon to vote on this question, and must bear the expense of a special election ν hethn· they like it or not, the least that can be done is to put up a campaign in order that the money will not have been spent in vain. Usually, in cities where the commission form of government is to be put to a vote the matter is backed by an organized body of citi cens eai rying mor» or less influence in the community, and a definite plan is arranged for placing the matter squarely before the people. In Perth Amboy, however, the agitation has been so much of a one man affair that others hesiiate to interfere or to become prominently ident:fiid with it. It remains to be seen how the issue is to be pre sented. Today We Celebrate -- - 1 —— ■ r-i I Anniversary of Jonathan Edwards, Who Preadied a Literal Hell. In these day» when a future abode of tire and brimstone has become a matter for jest and peer, and the "consolation of hell" for our enemies has lost its appeal, it is interesting to compare a sermon of Jonathan Edwards with the discourse you will hear in the pulpit next Sunday. The Kev. Jonathan wjw one of tne most distinguished theologians of the eigh teenth century. Today is the 214th anniversary of his birth at East Wind sor, Conn. He was a graduate and tutor at Yale before he entered the ministry as pastor of a church , at Northampton, Mass. He died in 1758, shortly after being appointed presi dent of the College of New Jersey, now Princeton University. The fol lowing is an extract from one of his famous sermons: "1 entreat you to consider carefully how great and awful a thing eternity is. Do but consider what it is to suffer extreme torment forever and ever; to suffer it day and night, from on© day to another, from one year to ι another, from one age to another, from one thousand age to another, and so, adding age to age. and thous ands to thousands, in pain, in wail I ing and lamenting, groaning and I shrieking and gnashing your teeth; I with your souls full of dreadful I grief and amazement, with your bo I dies and every member full of rack ing torture, without any possibility of getting ease; without any possibility of moving God to pity by your cries; ! without any possibility of Hiding I yourself from him; without any possi bility of diverting your thoughts from your pain; without any possibility of obtaining any mitigation or help or change for the better any way. Do but consider how dreadful despair will be in such torment. How dismal it will be, when you are under tl. .>e racking torments, to know assuredly that you never, never shall be deliver ed from them; to have no hope; when you shall wish that you might be turned Into nothing, but shall have no hope of it; when you shall wish that you might be turned into a toad or a serpent, but shall have no hope of it; when you would rejoice if you would but have any relief after you shall have endured thes etorments millions of ages, but shall have no hopo of it; when after you shall, have worn out the age of the sun, moon and stars in your dolorious groans and lamentations, without any rest day or night or one minute's east, yet you shall have no hope of ever being de livered; when after you shall have worn out a million (»f such ages, yot you shall have no hope, but shall know that you are not one whit near er to the end of your torments; but that still there are the samo groans, the same shrieks, the same doleful cries, incessantly to be made by you, and that the smoke of your torment shall still ascend up, forever and ever; and that your souls, which shall have been agitated by the wrath of God all this while j'et will still exist to bear more wrath; your bodies, whioh shall have been burning anr roast ing all this while In these glowing flames, yet shall not have been con sumed, but will remain to roast through an eternity yet, which shall not have been at all shortened by what shall have been past." To this hereafter, so luridly de scribed. the Rev. Jonathan consigned the bodies and souls of by far the greater part of humanity, and de clared that only an elect few could es cape the wrath of a vengeful God. BANKS REPORT MUCH INTEREST Total in Newark Alone Is Nearly $12, 000,000—Excellent Showing Made In First Loan Will Be Sur passed, Say the Officials. Newark, Oct. 5.—The quest for Lib erty bond buyers Is on in earnest throughout the State. Teams of can vassers started on their rounds of the various factories, stores and mills and the work of organization of the sub committees was about complete. Ear ly reports which reached Chairman Uzal H. McC'arter of the Liberty Loan Committee in Newark indicated a ready response to the government's call. While it was not believed at the committee headquarters that there would be much more results in the way df subscriptions for a day or two more, the various banks of the city made informal reports that subscrip tions were beginning to come in. It was estimated that, in addition to the $11,500,000 which made up the sub scriptions of the Prudential Insurance Company and the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, about $260,000 in offers ranging from $50 to $1,000 had been received. Carl Egner, who conducted the "Fly ing Squadron" of bond salesmen iti the first campaign in this city, is again on the job, but with a smaller staff of salesmen. He declared that the enlist ments for war had depleted the ranks of the experts who had given such aid in the first Liberty loan campaign. Get $98,000,000 In District. According to unofficial reports which reached the local headquarters, the Federal Reserve district, which in cludes this city and the northern New Jersey counties, had obtained returns from the early work of the campaign aggregating about $98,000,000. This, it was said, represented the results of three days' campaigning in the dis trict. Chairman McCarter announced that the rate of interest that is to be charged to employers who want to buy bonds so that their employees might purchase them on installments will be the same as that which the Federal Reserve Bank in Manhattan will exact for the rediscounting that will be nec essary. This probably will be 4 per cent .the same rate as the new bonds will bear. Insufficiency of Fame. Robert I. ou Is Stevenson, says the Philad elphia Record, was not the only celebrity who hail found fame rather than substantial achievement. "X would agree," he wrote, "thut Gladstone was rhe author of my works for a good ten ton schooner and the coins to keep It on. I know a little about fame now j It's no good compared to a yacht."
