Easy To Be Ambitious
For Some One Else.

1t is very easy to be ambitious
for some one else. I wonder how
much Roadway that same woman
would make with the work the
drudge" does so faithfully and
well.
What does your husband have to
make him ambitious" dear wom-
an? How do you help him. pray
tell? BY nagging him and making
fun of him? That's a good way.
isn't 1t? Why don't you try an
other one for change?
I've seen very commonplace
man made over into comparative
success, Just by the faith his wife
had in him.
Have you tried believing in the
drudge to see what that would do?
You can't nag man at home and
expect him to bear himself like q
man away from home 1t takes
courage and spirit and will power
to fight way up in the world, and
if you take all these things out of
a man before he leaves the house,
what weapons has he TO make the
fight?
Ambitious How do you know
whether he's ambitious or not?
What do you call ambition. any
way? The wish to get rich?
Fine noble work that is, isn't It?
Selling the body and the soul and
the heart and the mind to leave
fine monument and a rich wild
ow? It's all well enough to live to
get rich. but why make yourself
believe that you have high ideals"
Just because you want an automo-
bile and want the drudge to get IT,
some way, any way, only get 1t?
Don't be too sure that you are so
much cleverer and so much finer in
every way than the drudge. He
may have his own ideas on the sub
Ject even though he does not think
it necessary to nag you about them.

Mr.. BAWDEN STARTLED
SOME OLD MINISTERS

Rev. William II. Bawden spoke be-
fore the ministers conference in Phila-
delphia Monday, his subject being
I"'The Fourth Dimension of Spirit He
argued that there is too much of the
materialistic idea given to things that
are spiritual. The description Of heaven
as a city of golden streets and pearly
gates were mentioned as ''pictures' of
ideas and not facts. The description, he
said, should be taken in their symbolic
meaning and the ideas studied rather
than the pictures themselves.
Following Mr.. Bawden's address a
discussion took place IN which several
praised the paper while Rev. G. B.
Clausen, of Pemberton, and Rev. j. G.
Burchett, of the Frankford church, at
tackled the views as expressed by Mr..
Bawden. The Pcmberton preacher was
particularly bitter, closing his denuncia-
ton by expressing sympathy for a
young man of the Baptist ministry who
could deviate 80 far from the beaten
path of faith.
This same paper read in Philadelphia
Monday, was given before the New
York Baptist ministers conference a
short time ago where it was received
favorably. The subject has also been
used as a basis for a sermon in this city
and excited no unusual comment.

COP IS DRUNK
WHILE ON DUTY
Gets Severe R%eprimand--
Others Have Been Suspected

In efforts underway to attain the
greatest amount of efficiency posi-
BILE in the police department of this
city it is desirable to do away with
Objectionable features. Chief among
those seems to be drunkenness. A
newly4appointed officer was brought
before Acting Mayor Ferd Garretson
and Chief of Police Patrick j.
Burke and reprimanded on a charge
of being drunk while on duty and
failing to send calls over the police
call system in a proper manner. This
! was Monday night. Some of the
other patrolmen have been suspect
ed of drinking intoxicating liquors
while on duty during nights and
have received warnings.
The re-establishment of a rounds
mans position is advocated by some
city officials in ~endeavors to secure
the best service fro police officers
IN duty nights. Among those in ia
yor of having a capable roundsman
go about the various posts each
night is Acting Mayor Ferd Garrett
son. He approves of the police call
system, but says it would be well to
have a roundsman in addition there
to, for it cannot do all that a man
could.
According to the evidence in the
most recent case the officer failed to
send in three calls over the police
boxes from IL o'clock Monday night
to about 2 O'Clock yesterday norm
ing. He made his calls regularly be-
fore that time and thereafter, it is
claimed. The officials who heard his
testimony, in which he admitted
having imbibed rather freely while
on duty, are of the opinion that he
slept during the hours he failed to
ring up.
1t was during an early hour of
yesterday morning hat a pedestrian
found the officer acting as though
drunk. The man promptly called up
police headquarters and stated an
officer was on Jefferson street near
High street in a condition making
him unfit for police duty. Patrolman
John Martin was sen to investigate
and found his fellow officer some
VIA Intoxicated, it is declared.
Chief of Police Burke was notified
early yesterday morning and he lat
er brought the matter to the atten-
ton of Acting Mayor Garretson.
The officer admitted his guilt
when arraigned before the acting
mayor and police chief in the form.
er's office yesterday afternoon. He
told of meeting old friends on his
post and being enticed to drink in
celebration of the event of his re-
turn, he having been assigned to an
other part of the city for a month
or more. He promised he would
never do it again. The city's chief
executive and Chief of Police Burke
severely reprimanded the patrol
man. The reprimand hangs over
him as a suspended sentence.
This is the only case of drunk
eness on the force that has come to
light under the present administra-
ton.

WATER BOARD TALKS
ABOUT THE PRESSURE

According to reports rendered at a
committee meeting of the Board of
Water Commissioners last night, it
appears as though no booster system

missioner Sibley and Engineer Ma
son have SO gated off lines as to at
ford a thirty-two to a thirty-four
pound pressure on the highest parts.
1t Is proposed to run a ten inch line
through West Side avenue, from

aid the new system in the near flu

peared before the board last night

DOG CATCHERS
WORK At NIGHT
Find 1t Less Troublesome
Than During Day.

Dog Warden Albert Leonard and his
assistant now york at night. They find
it more convenient and less trouble
some to work at night than at day.
Leonard is now industrious, for besides
striving to catch all the stray dogs he
can he conducts an express route be-
tween this city and South Amboy. Dur
ing the past two weeks Leonard caught
twenty-five dogs, he says. His bill for
dogs caught and killed recently amount
ed to $107.
The dog warden says it is difficult to
catch dogs during the day because so
many persons try to modest him or his
assistant. He told the police this
morning it might appear as though he
was not +Oing his duty in the dog
catching line, but declared he was aad
was making larger hauls at night than
he previously made during the day.

Emil koyen Expresses 0bjeC-
tions to High School Hours

In response to his request for let
ters from those opposed to the pres

liam II. Bawden has received, among
others, the following communication
from Emil Koyen:
Mr.. William II. Bawden.
Dear Sir:-I shall be only too glad
to sign a remonstrance against the
latest fad put in practice in the
sch ools, namely, the long session.
We have certainly had all the test of
that that we want, particularly in a
home where there are seven children
attending school. If you will get up
a petition, let me know, and ! will
call and sign It.
l am very much indebted to you
for taking the initiation in this mat
ter. You may give this letter all the
publicity you choose. There must
be no children in the homes of u
School Commissioners, or they would
know better than to upset things as
this move will naturally do.
Yours truly,
