to the difficult roles in The Servant

co asst as one of the greatest plays in
all the wide range of English drama,
and as q lasting contribution to the
English literature, is builded on the
idea of universal brotherhood and it
teaches with compelling force the
lesson that mans highest happiness
comes from unselfish service to others.

Regular Meeting of the City

In addition to the regular routine
other important matters de-
handed the attention of the city fathers
at Tuesdays meeting. Health officer,
DR.. J. 81. Vogel appeared before the
Council and reported that . chemical

other dangerous bacilli. TWAS gener-
Ally believed that the water IVES

tation was also discussed and the
Health Officer was instructed to com.

OUR SUBURBAN TOWNS.

Every assistance should be given Metuchen
in its effort to secure better train service on
the Lehigh Valley railroad between that place
and Perth Amboy. Anything that will make it
easier for people to get to us should be en-
couraged. Every city of any size has a large
and growing suburban territory and it is just
as much to the advantage of the city to i'm
prove transportation facilities between the
two places as it is to the suburban town it.
self. As we grow there will be more and more
families drawn here because of our industries.
Many of these families do not like city life.
Naturally in a manufacturing center such as
Perth Amboy, there are disagreeable features
that cannot be avoided unless one goes to the
suburbs. The smoke, dust and sometimes the
odors that come from the various processes of
manufacturing, must be contended with. Be
cause of these things, and more especially be-
cause some people prefer the greater freedom
that is to be gained in a country or suburban
town, many insist upon living at some distance
away from their work. But if they do make
their homes in the suburbs, their interest cen
ters in the city that lies nearest and it is there
where they do most of their shopping and find
most of their entertainment. For these reas-
ons, therefore, what is Of interest to a SUI
burban community is Of interest to Perth AM
boy. As Metuchen is one of our most attract
i've suburbs we should do all in our power to
better the means Of communication between
the two places. 1t is only six miles away, yet
the facilities for getting back and forth be-
tween Perth Amboy and that borough are very
poor. Trolley service is abominable and it
can hardly be said that there is any railroad
service at all. It would take but a few min
utes to reach Perth Amboy if trains were run
over the Lehigh Valley railroad at convenient
hours. We believe that such a train service
would soon be a paying proposition. Let us
do what we can to encourage better inter
course with our "brainy' suburb.

AGAINST

The bitter war now being waged by the
Balkan states against Turkey is one of the
last struggles of civilization against barbara
anism. The other struggle will come in fore
ing a so-called Christian nation, Russia, to re
spect the rights of the Jews.
The f%anatical Turks have for a long time
maintained a foothold in Europe, holding pos
session of Constantinople, the key to the ORR
ent. Mohammedanism has prevailed thus far
against Christianity and every attempt to
drive the Mussulmen from their stronghold
has been unavailing. In the meantime the
world has been shocked time and again by the
massacres and ~cruelties that have been tax
ing place against Christians within the terri
tory controlled by the Turks. Fighting with a
I snd. MsHezs that only barbarians know, the
Turks have thus far been able to defend them
selves or lead in any aggressive movement
they have desired to make. The power Of
Europe, Jealous Of the territory Of the Turks,
have maintained q neutrality for many years
that has prevented Kidding the world of one
Of it's greatest disgraces. Perhaps Russia is
to blame for this i~naction because of the dis
grace within her own borders.
Today, however, the three or four Balkan
states have joined forces, unable to endure the
Turkish domination any longer, and have
marched forward with the determination to
force Turkey out Of Europe or die in the at
tempt. The successes that have thus far
come to the Christian allies add strength to
the hope that they will be successful.
Every nation should sympathize with the
Balkan states in this struggle and should give
their moral support if not active assistance
against the Ottoman empire. Once this is
overthrown all should turn to the Russian
outrages and force recognition for the Jews
there.
Bulgarians are now at the door of Adria-
nople with direct path to Constantinople be-
fore them. 1t is to be hoped that nothing will
stop this progress and that before another
year passes there will be another radical
change on the map of Europe.

We owe it to the governor and the Democratic
party to contribute largely to the success Of
the ticket headed by aJerseyman. The contri-
button from this state should be far in excess

THE TRIANGLE.

Once more the famous old triangle that has
graced many a fremen's parade in this city,
has disappeared. 1t was seen in the procession
Thursday, changing out it's old familiar tunes
as the prize of Eagle Hose Company. Visiting
firemen have long since learned the history
of this famous relic and they never come here
but what an attempt is made to carry 1t off.
The Triangle is nothing but an old piece Of
iron, but enough money has been spent on it,
probably, to cover it with gold. After it
ceased to be used as a fire alarm it was held
as a curiosity in this city and was transferred
back and forth between the local companies,
among whom great rivalry existed for its pos
session.
The triangle has been buried in the mud Of
the Raritan river; it has been hidden under
barn floors; it has been dug out of cellars, and
in almost every conceivable place this old alarm
has been in hiding. It has been to Keyport
where the fire companies held it as a great
prize. 1t was finally recovered only to be tax
en- elsewhere. All kinds of ~escapades have
been INDUCED in to get possession of the tri-
angle and bitter fights have taken place to
protect it.
Now there is reason to believe that it has
gone to Peekskin, N. Y. This Is probably the
longest trip the triangle has ever taken. Perth
Amboy fremen, however, will not be outwit-
ted by New Workers in this manner. 1t is
only a question of time when the famous old
gong will show up somewhere in a procession
and it will be up to the local department to
bring it home where it belongs.

THE WILSON FUND.

The special effort being made by the Dem
ocrats to raise funds for the Woodrow Wilson
campaign in New Jersey should meet~with a
hearty response from all those who appreci-
ate what the governor has done for this state.
We believe that the record he has made at
Trenton will be duplicated at Washington if
he should be sent to the White House.
His campaign has been conducted entirely
along popular lines. There are comparatively
few rich men in his ranks and the candidate
has shown keen discrimination as to whom he
has received money from. He desires to en-
ter the White House entirely free from obi
cations. He intends to be the peoples Presi-
dent. To accomplish his election, therefore,
the people are asked to contribute money in
order that the campaign may proceed.
1t is no secret that the Woodrow Wilson ma
tional headquarters is short Of funds. This
is a big country and it costs much to acquaint
the people in every state with the principles
of the party and the facts about the candi-
dates. Demands come from all sides which
must be met if the + ds to succeed.
