look with favor upon the scheme.

to be good proposition providing

RELIGIOUS CAMPAIGNING.

The idea of a religious campaign conducted
along the line of a whirlwind political tour is
something new in this section. We doubt if
such a thing has been tried anywhere in the
country. The idea will be carried out in the
New Brunswick district of the New Jersey
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
1t is planned to have Bishop Joseph e.
Berry come into the district and make a two
days automobile tour, covering all the large
c%enters. Special services have been arranged
in the various churches where he will visit and
neighboring churches have been invited to par
ticipate. The bishop will be rushed from
place to place in an automobile. In this way
it is hoped to bring this high church official
in direct contact with the rank and fife~c7 the
great army Of eMtheGpS, who now seldom see
such church dignitaries.
It has become more and more evident that
in order to succeed these days, whether it be
politics, business or rel gion, up-to-date meth
DDS must be adopted. That the method here to
be carried out is thoroughly up-to-date cannot
be denied. The result Of the tour will be
watched by religious workers everywhere and
if it succeeds the whirlwind tour OF bishops
and ~evangelists may be looked upon as a regu-
lar feature in religious work in the future.

NEW Y. M. c.. A. BUILDING.

The leaders of the Y. M. c.. A. movement are
to be congratulated upon the fine building that
they have decided upon as the home for the
association in this city. The building will be
one of the show places of Perth Amboy and is
bound to play an important part in our social
affairs.
The structure is thoroughly modern and
makes an imposing appearance. With the
equipment that goes with such a structure
Perth Amboy will have an institution second
to none in New Jerseys 1t will be something
of which we can all feel proud and those who
have contributed so generously coward making
1T a fact cannot help but feel gratitied at the
outcome.
Secretary Lipscomb is working enthusiast
ically for the success Of the Y. M. 9. A. and
there is every reason to believe that work on
the new structure will be started within a rea-
sonably short time. That such a building is
greatly needed cannot be denied. Perth Am
boy is indeed fortunate in having a body OF
men capable of putting through such a propo-
sition in such a satisfactory manner.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-10-14

previous conventions where reforms were sug-
gested which would have greatly reduced the
saloon evil throughout the state, but when the
time came for putting the ideas into practice
they failed. Brewery conventions have also
adopted several excellent ideas at their con-
v%entions, but none of them has been put into
practice.
The fact that the liquor dealers themselves
admit that one saloon to every 500 people is
sufficient proves the contention of the EVEN
ING NEWS that PertheAmboy has entirely too
many drinking places at the present time. The
great need in this city now is the wedding out
of some Of the worst places until we have only
100 drinking places and then pass an ordi-
nance preventing the granting of any new Ii
censes until the city's population has reached
30, 900; after that one license for every add
tional thousand inhabitants is sufficient. AS
the liquor dealers, when they meet in state con-
%ventions approve such plans, it ought not to be
difficult to put them into operation. When the
attempt is made, however, the liquor dealers
are generally found lined up solidly in OPP
position.
1t is to be hoped that the people of Perth
Amboy will select a Board Of Excise Commits
sioners this year who will run the affairs Of
the city themselves and not allow liquor deal
ers and brewery agents to tell them what
things shall be done.
