FOR VOTER8 TO CON8IDER
Before making up your mind to vote for the $14,000,
000 bond issue which will be put up to even' voter at the
coming election it would be well to consider the following
facts as set forth by Senator Parry, of Essex county, show
ing how government expenses have been increasing in re
cent years. Senator Parry says:
“Business is depressed, wages are coming down, but
the costs of government seem to be ever mounting
upward. On a per capita basis each person in the
United States would pay slightly less than $43 each
year, or $214 for a family of five, for the expenses of
our national government. In addition to that each per
son in the state of New Jersey would pay for the ex
penses of our local and state governments, at the rate
of $34 per annum, or $170 for a family of five. The
cost of government to each person in New Jersey,
therefore, averages $77, or $375 for each family of
five. When it is costing the average head of a family
of five over a dollar a day, including Sundays, for the j
expenses of government, it is time to sit up and take
notice.”
As the Evening News declared at the very beginning of
the campaign, economy is the main issue this year. But how
cftn we impress the legislators with the need of strict econ
omy in government affairs if we deliberately vote them more
millions to spend every time they ask for the money? Out j
of the waste and extravagance now so prevalent in govern
ment affairs much of the work that this $14,000,000 would
be spent for could be done. But it is so much easier to bor
row money through the issuing of bonds to gratify present
desires at the expense of the future that the government of
V^oials will always try to secure a bond issue if they can. 1
B\lt, thanks to the foresight of the framers of the state con
stitution, the state cannot be bonded for more than $100,000
without the consent of the people. Hence the referendum at
the coming election. ' ,
One of the ways to express your demand for economy ;
in government affairs is to vote “no" on the $i i.000.000 j
bond issue on November 8. j

MORGAN F. LARSON
It hardly seems necessary here in Perth Amboy and j
vicinity to point out the qualifications of Morgan F. Larson ;
for state senator, which office he is seeking on the Republi- i
aiis fall. Mr. Larson is so well and so favorably j
that it goes without saying that he will receive
is vote. He is a son of Perth Amboy in every
word. He grew up here and has always been1
identified with the local activities. He is one, J
rs in his chosen profession of engineering, has j
in excellent reputation both in private and pub- i ■
_will, without a jloubt., make a high class repre-',
tentative of the people in the state legislature.
There is no man, perhaps, who knows Middlesex county
> better or is more interested in its welfare. Also, there is no
; man who will work harder or more conscientiously for his
constituents than will Mr. Larson. Knowing his ability as
p vve do, we do not hesitate to say that the people of this
county cannot get a better representative that Mr. Larson.
Our only regret is that it is not possible to secure men of
such calibre for public office all the time.
As far as Perth Amboy and vicinity is concerned there
is no doubt as to the .outcome of the election as far as it
effects Mr. Larson. His candidacy is more than a political
issue- People are going to vote for him here regardless of
politics. If he does not go out of Perth Amboy with a ma
jority of over 2.000 we shall be sadly disappointed. For the
rest of the county where Mr. Larson may not be so well
known, but where nothing but that which is favorable has
been heard about him since his candidacy was announced,
we can but repeat that a vote for Morgan F. Larson for state j
senator this fall will be a vote for a clean cut, honest and
capable young man who would be a credit to any community
or county; a man of the highest type, standing for all that is
V best and decent in public afTairs; a man of character and
sterling worth—one whom the best citizens should be glad
toto vote for.
In saying this about Mr. Larson we are not in the least
attempting to disparage Mr. Larson’s opponent in this elec
tion who is also a young man of high principles having the
respect of all who know him and who has already represen
x ted this county with distinction in the lower house of the
legislature. But knowing Mr. Larson as we do and the high
. personal regard held for him among those with whom he is
mose closely associated, it is evident that he is going to be
given their unanimous support.

THE STRIKE SETTLED
By* calling off the railroad strike the leaders of the rail
road brotherhoods have done the only thing they* could do
and hold the respect of the public. No matter how much the
people might sympathize with the railroad employes, it was
impossible to support them in their attempt to demoralize
I he industries of the country and bring untold suffering into
thousands of homes as the tying up of all transportation
would mean.
After all, this country is just what the people make it.
Such a strike as the railroad brotherhoods contemplated was
ft -a strike against themselves and their friends and neighbors
as well as against the railroad management. In fact, the
public generally would have been the greatest sufferers. To
read of the steps being taken by the ditt'erent cities to provide
for the inhabitants thereof while the strike was on sounded
like the preparation for some siege or blockade that was
listened by an outside enemy. It was impossible to believe
that these preparations were being made against the action
of men who pose as our friends and neighbors.

PUBLIC HUNTING GROUND PLAN OUTLINED
Daily letter by Frederic J. Haakln
WASHINGTON. Oct. 28.—The
ureation of public duck-hunting
[fiarsheg, where the game will be
•clentitieally protected as it is In the
treat private hunting club grounds,
jut where any citizen of the United
States may hunt in the open season
>y paying one dollar to the federal
tovernment, is now being urged by
he secretary of agriculture.
The plan is embodied in a bill
vhich has been introduced in the
he House by Representative An
hony and in the senate by Senator
few. If it does not pass, it will
•robably be because of the failure of
American sportsmen to hear about
t and demand its passage, for it
irill h£jin undoubted boon to them.
Good hunting and a free range is
vhat the measure means to the four
>r five millions of American gunners,
>ut it means a good deal more than
hat to the government scientists
vho have framed it. They say ag
iculture requires that a large part
>f the remaining marsh lands and
>onds in this country be kept in their
latural state. If the drainage of
hem goes steadily on, the internal
■conomy of the soil is going to suf
er.
TMb nrncnmnhlu HriPQ llrtt
o the costal regions of tlV South,
vhere the whole country Is one vast
iwamp for miles and miles. But
hroughout the New England and
diddle Atlantic states, the Middle
Vest and West, ponds and marshes
lave become steadily fewer for
many years. Most of them have
>een drained and converted Into
arm lands and factory sites. Even
:he great swamp wildernesses of
he South, which begin with the
Dismal Swamp south of Norfolk,
Virginia, and extend In an almost
jnbroken strip to the end of the
Everglades in Florida, are beginning
:o be invaded by the drainage canal
ind the settler.
Drainage Makes Driimli.
This drainage of swamps was long
regarded as a good thing, and up to
a certain point it Is, but the ex
perts have found that when nearly
all of the ponds and marshes in a
given region have been drained, the
land is impoverished. The water
table—that is, the level of the un
derground water—falls. This makes
the region more susceptible to
drouth. It affects the growth of for
ests and the flow of A^reams. It
upsets the balance of nature. If this
drainage goes on unchecked the ag
ricultural value of great areas of
land will be impaired.
Furthermore, the experts point out
that if these marshes and ponds are
rightly used, they often produce
more than the land under them
would produce if drained. If the tak
ing of these creatures is controlled
so that they are kept at a maximum
abundance, a marsh or pond may
make a considerable yield per acre
In fish and fur, not to mention wild
fowl. Many marshes In addition
yield grasses valuable as hay, and
in manufactures. Marshes and ponds
give a supply of natural ice. In a
word, such a water area, rightly
used, Is a great asset to a communi
ty, and indiscriminate drainage is as
short - sighted as indiscriminate
cutting of timber to make new
fields.
Besides these considerations,
marshes and ponds are necessary to
the success of the migratory bird
law. This law’, which protects the
wild fowl and other migratory birds
in their spring flight northward, has
already succeeded to the extent that
it has made wild fowl more abun
dant than they have been In a cen
tury. It has enabled them to reach
their northern breeding grounds
without molestation in the spring.
But their haunts in this country,
when they return South in the fall,
have been greatly restricted. The
wild duck is In the position of being
all protected and no place to go.
Costs Money to Hunt.
Then again, an increasing number
of the places where ducks winter
are privately owned and controlled,
and the demand for private hunting
grounds by clubs and wealthy indi
viduals is on the increase. In many
cases whole marshes are owned. In
other cases, where the areas invol
ved are too large far ownership, like
Back Bay, Virginia, clubs own nearly
all of the desirable water frontage,
and all of the best points upon
which blinds may be built. The
chances for the poor man to go duck
hunting are becoming steadily slim
mer. For one who does not belong
0 a club, good duck hunting coats
;rom *10 to *20 a day, including the
juide. a motorboat, a sink-box and
1 fleet of decoys. The number of the
places where you can go out in your
pwn boat and paddle about with any
hope of getting a shot Is very small.
The Anthony-New bill provides
that the Department of Agriculture
shall buy or rent suitable areas of
ponds and marshes In all of the
states. The maintenance of these
preserves is to be paid for by a fed
eral hunting license of *1.00, to be
paid by every citizen who shoots
over the government preserves.
These areas are to be scientifically
administered. They will be stocked
with fish, and the plants which fur
nish the best food for wild fowl will
be introduced. The birds will bo
chrefully protected In the closed
seasons, and the areas will be public
hunting grounds In the open sea
son. They will also furnish good
tishing, swimming and camping.
They will be places where school
children can go for picnics and for
purposes of nature study.
Many picturesque regions, which
otherwise would soon be drained,
will be saved by this measure If It
becomes a law. The famous Kan
kakee marshes In Indiana, for ex
ample, which have been a favorite
resort of sportsmen and naturalists
for a hundred years, would be an
excellent area for government ad
ministration.
BY I»R. R. H. BISHOP
Tuberculosis comes into almost 1
everyone’s life at some time. Few
households escape it entirely. Per
haps no immediate member of your
family has fallen a victim, to this
dread disease, but the ract that all
of us have the germs of tuber
culosis in our bodies waiting until
some time when our systems ere
weakened, should give us pause.
’’The great white plague of the '
north,’* as Oliver Wendell Holmes
once called this disease, kills ap
proximately 160,000 persons each
year in the United States. Every
third person between 15 and 60 dies
of it or every fourth person be
tween 20 and 40. It disables and
renders useless those who have it
and often beggars their families. It
costs in loss of life and labor in the
United States 500 million dollars.
These facts should make a person
having suspicious symptoms stop
and consider. Tuberculosis, if
caught in its early stage, can be
ured, but left to develop. It Is in
incible.
The person having eerly tuber
ulosla may not suspect it or even
mow that he is ill. Here are cer
ftin signs however, which should
irompi the intelligent person to
teelc expert examination.
These signs are:
1. Weariness out of proportion to
he day's work, especially when it
ippears in a person usually ener
getic and active.
2. Cough. Tuberculosis may ex
st and become far advanced wlth
>ut cough or the cough may not be
nore than a slight tendency to clear
:he throat. Any cough or necessity
lor clearing the throat frequently
hat lasts more than two or three
veeks should be looked upon with
suspicion. x
3. Loss of appetite or a finicky
ippetite.
4. Loss of weight, not otherwise
iccounted for.
5. Slight fever in the afternoon.
6.. Shortness of breath, especial
ly on slight exertion, may often be
in early symptom.
7. Continued hoarseness or less
3f voice should have immediate at
tention.
8. Digestive disturbances always
iccompany tuberculosis.
9. Blood In the spit rarely occurs
In any other condition than that of
tuberculosis. Even slightly streaked
spit should cause the patient to
seek medical advice.

DRAMA NEEDS THE AID
OF THE CHURCH
nr IjF.ya ashwffl
Famous Fngllsh Actress |
The drama Is an art which Is
either In Its death throes or on the
eve of being reborn. The two great
means of attaining knowledge are
through the Intellect and the heart.
For a long time It has been over
looked by many that the drama Is
a very potent force In attaining
knowledge.
The higher emotions—esthetic,
religious nnd moral—are educated
through the feeling? as well as
through the Intellect. As Intellect is
lit up by emotion, real knowledge Is
attained. In the theatre, when It Is
what It ought to be. you have the
emotions seen In action. But the
modern theatre is very largely di
vorced from real emotion. It Is
superficial. It deals with the mere
surface of human emotions instead
of being deep-rooted in the real re
ligious life of the community.
It is not the actor's fault If he
has to appear In the stupid, banal
and Idiotic works which the public
seems to enjoy. The standard today
is on a money basis. The measure
of what can be done Is the measure
of what can be got in the box office.
This is wrong, because you can not
keep a money value when you are
dealing with the human heart.
I -----
Fart of the trouble la the vogue
of the cinema which has given the
people what St. John Ervlne calls
the paragraph mind and the movie
motive.
During the war many of our ac
tors went to the front and played
the beet plays to entertain the men.
They came back with tlvs conviction
that they were really important ser
vants of the community; that there
was plmethlng in our great lan
gun/e which should be heard; that
there was great constructive power
for good, for the healing of the
heart, In hearing words spoken.
And. Indeed, good drama Is as
necessary for a people as a water
works system. It Is as necessary as
a bath. Indeed It gives people a
mental bath.
I. therefore, appeal to churchmen
to help In the regeneration of the
art I represent. In our profession
it is part of our lives, part of our
privilege to help all good causes.
But when we ask for support In the
work of uplifting the art of the
theatre, we are met by indifference.
What we ask of the church is not
indifference, but help. We want
help to create a standard by which
every form of recreation must be
measured and we went that standard
made a very high one.

BEING A FATHER
BY DR. W. E. BARTON
BY DR. WM. E. BARTON
Whatever else a man has to do
who has a son, his real business is
to make a man of that boy. If he
neglects this high duty and Inestim
able privilege, no matter what his
reason or excuse, he will surely live
to rue the day.
Whatever else a father gives his
son, he should not fail to give him
self. He is himself a larger gift
than any he can earn and convey
to his boy.
Boys need mothers, and mothers
can do some things with boys and
for boys which fathers cannot do;
but no man is Justified in supposing
on this account that he has any
license to neglect his boy, or to turn
him over wholly to his mother.
The wise father will not try to do
his duty by the mere spending of
money for the boy, or letting the
boy spend money upon himself. He
will give himself as well as his
money.
He will share in his boy's fun, and
---
he will also remember that his boy
iias serious thoughts and earnest
hours which also he would like to
share with his father.
When his boy asks his hard
questions, he will not look up from
his paper in annoyance, and say, "I
don't know. Don't ask so many
foolish questions.”
When his boy is facing the great
moral issues of life, his father will
not leave him to learn all the most
sacred facts about life from those
who besmear them with foul sug
gestions. He will tell his boy what
the boy needs to know.
He will remember that he cannot
fool his boy by advising one course
of conduct and practicing another.
He will endeavor to be the kind of
man he wants his boy to be when he
grows up.
Ferhaps if he does these things,
he will some day .overhear his boy
say to some of his companions:
"When I get to be a man, I want
to be just such a man as my father
is.”

BULLETINS BY THE
•fATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
KHORASAN: THE WILD EAST OP PERSIA
‘It Is not surprising that Khora
san, the wild east of Persia, should
be affected by banditry because, re
mote as It is from the Western
Front, the World War profoundly
disturbed Its peculiar government
and social 'system," says a bulletin
from the National Geographic So
ciety concerning dispatches telling
of the surrender of Khorasan insur
rectionists and the death of their
outlaw leader.
'Khorasan is world famous among
connoisseurs of rugs, carpets and
silks; beyond that fact to many it is
but a name. Yet this least known
of Persia's five great provinces suf
fered from the alliance of Great
Britain and Russia, it sustained a
severe shock when Russia fell un
der Soviet sway, and It experienced
some of the most crass forms of
German intrigue.
^ Ilulers Protean Politicians
“Through a long distance polit
ical lens the statesmanship of the
governors of Kain, Khorasan sub
province and rug making center,
commands high admiration. Their
succession was hereditary, but their
line held sway neither by right of
blood nor ancient tribel choice.
They ruled by force of leadership.
First of all they had to please a
populace many of whom were not
more than a generation or two re
moved from nomadism. They had
not only to bo ward politicians but
international diplomats. Their
problem was to play Russia, which
reached out to their northern bor
ders through Turkestan, against
Great Britain, whose Influence
touched tjjeir eastern boundary
through Afghanistan. And even be
fore 1914 the insidious activities of
Germany had to be taken into ac
count. In addition an eye had to be
kept on Teheran.
“For a time, but for a time only,
during the World War, Amir Shou
kat ul Mulk was deposed, and his
successor rode into Birjand, kissing
the Koran, suspended across the
roadway at the gates of the city,
• .n.l thmiaanrlu V* 1 a fnllftU’prfl Hill
likewise. The occidental observer
might be particularly Impressed
with the hygiene of that ceremony,
and he usually is distraught when
he finds that etiquette demands he
accept from a host a cigarette
which that host has lighted In nia
own mouth. If a number of guests
are present the host Is likely to
insert one for each guest, apply
ing one light to all and getting all
started with one prodigious pud.
Annoying to the other extreme,
however, is the meticulous care ol
the servant who always must stop
to cleanse his hands before answer
ing the summons of his employer.
On Main Camel Lino
“Blrjand lay on the main trade
route of thp camel and mule borne
commerce between Russia and In
dia. Before Russia broke down eco
nomically thousands of tons of wool
were sent there from Khorasan
along with shawls and rugs, and
much of this ultimately reached
Marseilles. The animal transpotrs
brought from India yarn and dyes,
raw material for carpet' making,
and also coffee, tea and spices
! Both the disturbances In India
i and chaos of Russia have hampered
i Khorasan.
"The name, Khorasan. is apt
meaning ‘land of the sun.’ Former
1 ly it applied to a larger region
. The province of that name nearly
i as large as California, now clearly
delimited, Is furrowed by mountair
i ridges, the Asiatic end of a system
i that binds eastern Europe, physi
i cally, to central Asia. The Elburi
range, which rises In northwester!
■ Persia to form the Pereian Oiympui
Mount Demavend, divides the coun
, try Into tWo climatic rones, since or
Its northern side is the Caspian ba
sin, below sea level, and on its
scouthern a plateau which average!
some 4,000 feet above the sea.
r Great Salt Desert
: “The most noteworthy physica
’ feature of Khoraean Is the Orea
! Kavir, a saline desert .considers
by seme to be the bed of a sea long
since dried up, and by others to be
due to the saline rivulets trickling
into It from the enclosing circlets
of mountains. The salt deserts
and the mountains of Khorasan
help keep it Isolated; the fertile val
leys produce cotton, cereals, fruits
and tobacco.
“Birjand, now pacapltal of the
sub-I’rovince of Kain, is one of the
chief carpet and rug making cen
ters of all Tersin. It has only about
15,000 people, but all about Bir
jand proper are little villages
where men till the soil with the aid
of oxen and women weave. The
best of the Kain carpets are pro
duced at Darakhsh, about fifty
miles northeast of Birjand. A wo
man of this region who cannot
weave becomes an economic liabil
ity. This condition, and the use
of opium, are held responsible for
the considerable number of beggar
women to be seen at Birjand.”

THE CAR. OF
HAPPIAIESS
A car of almost any kind,
RolU*-Royce or Ford, is neaps or
fun;
For at the wheel of It you’ll find
Communion with the wind and
But there’s one sort that brings a
joy.
Outdoing all the rest by far—
Watch any little girl or boy
Who owns and drives a kiddie-car.
Its motor has a heap of pep
(Two sturdy legs that make it fly),
Pedestrians must watch their step
And let the daring driver by;
With whirling feet, with whizzing
wheels,
Undaunted by the bumps that Jar,
The young speed-demon knows and
feels
The thrill that's in a kiddle-car.
The motorist Is full of pride.
A pride he plainly shows to you,
But his conceit is naught beside
The kid whose kiddle-car is new:
And proudest of all folks amid
This world where lots of proud
folks are.
Is be who owns that little kid
Who owns and drives a kiddie-car.

Get All
the Heat
Save Coal Sensibly
Alive, clean, clinker-free
* fire—the sure result of the
exclusive Boynton Square
! Pot construction—takes all
the heat there is in the
coal and sends it into your
I rooms. That’s economy
and good judgment
You can cut down the |
amount of coal you burn
! in your present equipment
J by using less heat, but you j
won’t find much pleasure :
! in the saving.
It’s better—much better
—to have all the comfort
of warmth by installing a
Boynton Square Pot Fur
nace or Boiler. Though
very easy on the coal pile
(saving 15% to 25%) it
protects youefrom the
i misery of indoor shivering.
| See the Boynton Fur
naces and Boilers at your
dealer’s, and the Newport
Range as well. Or con
