hundreds of young men attaining
their majority every year and the
Civic Union desires to protect them
as far as possible. Honesty will
succeed in the long run and that is
the policy of the Civic Union.
One of the first recommendations
that Mr.. Peterson, as head of the
Civic Union, has to offer is that wo-
men and children be kept out Of bar
rooms. He Is o0rosed to won n
' orking behind the bar and to wo-
men holding licenses. The saloon
business is not O fit occupation for
women in Mr.. Peterson's opinion, and
he will strongly recommend that no
license be granted to any one but
men and hat bar maids be abolished.
The Civic Union will also wage war
On the saloons that permit girls and
young women to frequent their
places. With the union in control
of the excise board it will be in a
position to make itself felt.
Mr.. Peterson is particularly anx-
ious to dispel any belief that he is
in this excise movement for personal
gain. He says he will gladly sacri-
flee any personal business that might
lead to suspicion. He knows that
the report has been circulated that
it will now be policy for the brewers
and liquor dealers to engage him
when they need professional ser
vices. In the first place. Mr.. Peter
son holds this to be an insult to the
members-elect of the new excise
board. They are intelligent men and
cannot be unduly influenced by any
one. He further says that he prefers
not to handle any brewery or liquor
dealers cases and under no circum-
stances will he represent anyone
seeking a license.
Mr.. Peterson spoke earnestly along
these lines and seemed to feel keenly
the insinuatiou that he was not alb
solutely sincere in his efforts to bring
about better conditions in excise af-
fairs here. He has already spent
time and a great deal of money
for the cause and says he is now
prepared to sacrifice personal inter
ests.
AL the members of the new excise
board realize the responsibility
upon them. The sentiment of
the voters has been expressed in no
terms and they are deter
that the people will not be dis
and that Perth Amboy will
never regret placing them in charge
of excise affairs here
