suffrage movement. they frowned and
did not pay any attention to It,
The present women OF Japan are pro-
gressive and active. but they are not
fYragettes. Although they are now
trying to regain their natural rights
and protection by law. they DO not favor
the suffrage.
Last summer the International Woman
Suffrage Association In Denmark m
vited the japanese women to take part
In an international political demonstra-
ton and TO send delegates to the as
sociat ton, in which twenty-onc European
ana American countries are represented
The invitation was a puzzle TO the
Japanese women. as most OF them had
no or little idea about the woman suf-
fringe movement And those who knew
something about this movement In for-
eign countries believed that 'Hnhn
would be the last country 20 adopt It.
After long discussions a", e'
bates as to whether the japanese
women should fght for the rights OF
women as the women OF Europe and
America are already endeavorlng to do
or should niaiTtain tho old Japanese
custom OF women being the help ana
guide 10 men and not their equals. II
was decided that the invitation should
be declined on the ground that the CIR

lmands Of this city the matter should be
brought before the Public Utility Commission
to see whether or not Perth Amboy is entitled
to some consideration.
If the railroad is planning track elevation,
depressing or other radical changes in this vi
cinity, there may be some excuse for delaying
such improvements as a new station, but if
these changes are not thought Of for the i'm
mediate future, it is time the people of Perth
Amboy aroused themselves and gave the rail
road to understand that the city must have
what it is entitled to.
We believe it is only a question of time
when the Pennsylvania company will abandon
its station in State street for passenger serv-
Ice and use the Central station entirely. AL
ready nine-tenths of the passenger traffic of
the city uses the Central station and because it
ranks favorably with other stations here is no
reason why we should not have a new one.
The agitation along this line should be carried
on vigorously until something definite is &C
complished.

PROGRESSIVES ARE ON TOP.

IL SiOot uSd1 udo Dt6u sdlu since elPCIIOn
about the future of the new Progressive party,
AS we understand this organization, it was
formed to advance the Progressive principles
OF certain ones in the Republican party who
first sought to get control of their own party,
and falling In that decided to go it alone.
Prior to the recent campaign there had been q
great deal of talk about the Progressives of
both the Republican and Democratic parties
getting together on a third ticket. It was ar
gued that the progressives Of both parties
stood for practically the same principles, a
mere name keeping them apart.
While the progressives of the Republican
party were endeavoring to get the upper hand,
the Democratic progressives were also active
along the same line in their own ranks. The
final tests came at the respective national con-
.ventions. The Republican progressives made
a desperate fight to get control of the party
machinery, but failed. At Baltimore, how
successful and after one of the bitterest strug-
giles that has ever marked a political conven-
ton, succeeded in nominating a candidate who
stood for the most progressive principles that
has been advanced in the country, and adopt
ed a platform on which he could consistently
stand.
Up until last spring the Republican pro-
gressives were continually urging the Demo-
Gratis to unite with them in their efforts to
nominate a ticket in sympathy with their
cause. But the Democratic progressives have
now succeeded in doing what their Republican
friends failed to accomplish, that is, get con-
troll of their own party. This now puts one
branch of the progressives in control Of the
government. Why, then, should the Repub-
lican progressives continue to carry on the
fight9 A few months ago they were declar-
ing that it made no difference if the Demo
Gratis or the Republicans won, as long as it
vas a progressive victory. It would seem that
the logical thing for all believers in progress
i've policies to do now is to line up behind the
Wilson administration, take advantage of the
power that is now theirs aid see to it that the
progressives maintain the influential position
they now hold.

GRATIFYING

One of the most gratifying results of the
election Tuesday was the return of Congress
man Thomas j.. Scully, as representative Of the
third congressional district at Washington. If
there ever was a candidate who deserved the
hearty endorsement of the people it is Mr..
Scully, who has labored faithfully and has ac-
complished a great deal during two short
years in office.
The third district has never had a more ca
pable representative than the South Amboy
man and we have no doubt that the next two
years will find him still more firmly en-
trenched in the good opinion of his c~onstitu-
ents. With the Democrats in full control of
the government, with Mr.. Scully a personal
friend of the President and on extremely init
mate relations with the next senator from this
state, he is in a most influential position and
cannot help but make a record for himself.
The people of the third district are to be
congratulated upon their selection Of a con-
gresham.
