THE CITY HOSPITAL.

Regardless Of the merits Of the hospital SUI
perintendent and her assistant, who have been
summarily dismissed by the board of COVER
nors of that institution, the secret manner in
which the action was taken arouses a sus-
picion against the management of the institu-
ton which will be hard to throw off. 1t is a
pity that the public cannot learn more about
the hospital and the manner in which it is
being conducted. The only thing to remind
the people that such an institution exists in
this city is when they read in the papers that
some one has been injured and taken there.
AS to the competency Of the superintendent
and her assistant we do not know. There is
one thing for which we do commend the SUI
perintendent who has been requested to leave,
however, and that is her desire for publicity in
the management of the institution. She started
to prepare a monthly report, as is done in prac-
tically all hospitals, regarding the number Of
operations performed, the number OF patients,
those dismissed as cured, etc. These reports
she would like to have had published every
month so that the people of the city would
know what is going on, with the hope of arous-
ing interest in the hospital. The superintend-
ent has also been greatly disappointed be-
cause the women of the city have shown such
little interest in the institution and few, if any,
have visited the place.
In practically every other city of this size,
the hospital is the leading charity, everybody
working for its success. There is always the
greatest publicity and the object has been to
interest as many people as possible in its man
agement. Here, however, when the new super
$ intendent took charge five months ago and
started to send in her reports she was in
formed by a member Of the managing board
that such reports were not desired and such
a thing as publishing them was not to be
thought Of. Likewise, when any of the of
ficials of the hospital meet it is behind closed
doors and under the most mysterious circum-
stances. Even on the day following, when an
effort is made to gain information as to what
took place, secrecy is maintained.
The governors complain about the lack of
interest taken in the hospital by the people
and point out that little or no contributions
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-12-21

are given by the people for is support. But
how can they expect the people to give them
money and take an interest in the institution
when they are refused all information regard
ing it and such secrecy is maintained in every
transaction connected herewith
The board of governors may or may not be
right in dismissing the superintendent and
her assistant, but the public in general will
not be convinced that everything is as il
should be in the management of the hospital
until the great air of mystery which now sur
rounds every movement made in connection
with the institution, is removed.

CHIEF BURKE.

Our congratulations to Chief of Police Pat
rick j. Burke upon his twenty-five years Of
successful service in the police department.
Chief Burke has seen Perth Amboy grow from
a village to one of the leading cities in the
state. He has seen his own department de-
velop from a little force of three men to it's
present proportions, with a complete police
call system and an automobile police patrol.
His task as chief of police is a difficult one.
Things are expected of him in such a position
that are often impossible to accomplish, and
people are prone to find fault when such fault
finding is not warranted. All kinds of crit
cisms are heaped upon such an official and very
little praise is forthcoming.
This is human nature, however, and is some
thing which must be met in all offices dealing
with the public. While, no doubt, there have
been grounds for complaint in some instances,
taking the police department as a whole it has
a record to be proud of. Good work has been
done and, considering the number of men
available, the force has accomplished all that
could be expected of it.
we 40 uOI ueuy JudL JueIo IS IOOu lOI LII
p%rovement. There are men on the police force
who should not be there, and some are holding
positions for which they are not qualified. We
believe that Chief Burke can accomplish as
much as any other superintendent of police,
provided he has the right kind of men to as
sist him.
Keep politics out of the police force and
make appointments in accordance with merit.
At the same time weed out some of the men
who cannot be depended upon. Then we be-
lieve great improvement can still be made.
Chief Burke has served the city faithfully
for a great many years and has a right to re-
tirement should he so desire. That the chief is
fully capable of continuing in Office, however,
is evident and, from present indications, the
city will continue to have his services for
many years to come.

ALTOGETHER FOR THE LIGHTS!

Efforts to improve the lighting at the Cen
trail railroad station have been taken up from
another source. The Young Mems Hebrew As
sociation, at a recent meeting, placed that Or
ganization on record as favoring the improve
ment, and decided to not only work toward Sc
curing lights themselves, but will invite other
organizations of the city to join them. Every
person in the city recognizes the need of better
accommodations at the Central railroad station
and it is unanimously agreed that in asking for
suitable light an insignificant request is being
made of the railroad company.
Perth Amboy is a city with traffic sufficient
to warrant the station platform being lighted
throughout it's entire length, and these lights
should be kept burning continuously. The
EVENING NEWS proposes to increase its eff
forts toward bringing about this necessary i'm
provement and, with private citizens taking
the matter up with the Public Utility Commits
sion, and with active work started among or
CARNATIONS of the city, something ought to be
accomplished.
The railroad officials cannot ignore such an
aSlCdClOu. IoItH AulDOy Ii ucClueuly " LII
portant a point for them to disregard when the
people are thoroughly aroused. AS long as
we consent to the Indifference which has been
shown us there will be nothing done. At the
present time Perth Amboy can hardly be con-
sidered on the railroad map, except as far as
freight is concerned. When that feature is
considered all railroads will admit the i'm
p~ortance of the place.
By active work along the lines which the Y.
M. H. A. has laid out, and with further agi-
tation on the part of the people, there is every
reason to believe that suitable lights will be
Forthcoming before long. The fight is a worthy
one and should enlist the support of every
citizen. A brilliantly lighted station at night
will go a great way toward relieving the bad
impression that many travellers have OF this
place as they pass through. 1t will be talking
Perth Amboy in the right way.

Effective dee- orations of syringas were about the les, ferns and iris, while on atable were massed roses, syringa, and maple leaVes-the whole forming a beautiful setting for the group of little children on the platform above.
 The members of the Sunday school entered the church singing the proces- sional Joyful Chorus as they marched up the left aisle. taking their seats in front. The recitations were of uni form excellence and the sweet voices of the children in song were most pleasing Greetings by the primaries was the first on the interesting pro- gramme which was successfully car ried out and called forth warm words of praise at it's close.

AT THE AUDITORIUM TODAY.

An all round well balanced bill of vaudeville and the latest photoplays is being offered at the Auditorium the first three days of this week. MT. and Mrs. Fred Thomas offer their original comedy conception entitled The Dog Thief. The parts in this delightful little comedy are played by two peo- ole and a dog, and this clever little canine actor Is wonderfully intelligent. This is a comedy sketch that will be appreciated by all.
 4 good laughing act Is offered by the Three Syivesters, who do a singing, dancing and talking act One of the members of the trio is clever Irish comedian, and the little fellow in the act will no doubt have everybody talk ing at his funny antics.
 Gertrude Davenport comes with New York's latest ideas in songs and gowns, 1IHss Davenport has a beautiful col lection of handsome gowns. Her songs are all the latest and are rendered in @ most pleasing voice and manner.
 The photopiays for Monday and Tuesday are all up to date and well selected, consisting of comedy, drama and scenic.
 One picture that was picked out es- pectslly for tOday's show is Lost Tears, a drama by the Rex Go. The shipvreck and wireless telegraph wcenea, also the desert island are mas terpieces of stage direction. An Imp comedy, Tho Maids Strategem, will bring the smiles to the surface, and the Reliance All Star Co. will offer When the Heart Calls, a story of heart interest

BREED THEATER.

A supremely attractive programme is offered at the Breed today and shows as its headliner the great Edison dramatic triumph entitled Out of the Deep. This Is & distinctly romantic story and deals with deep sea diver and the daughter of an old curio col lector. One of the most thrilling events in the film is where the diver goes in seArch of the sunlken treasure chest and while at the bottom of the ocean his air supply pipe is injured, leaving him without air. How he secures the chest. and also saves the life of his sweetheart's father, are all intensely interesting.
 A superb Biograph story entitled The Old Actor is another big film success and features Miss Mary Pickford, the charming little ingenue.
 A musical innovation will be intro duced at the Breed today, as Manager McNultT has secured the services of Miss Edith Marshall, violinceIlo soloist, who will be heard at every perform snce, playing the best numbers in her high grade programme. This will make decided change in the charac- ter of the Breeds entertainment and will doubtless prove to be most enjoy able
