REFLECTIONS
TALKING PERTH aAfBOy.
BY MIllIAM 4. kAMnTN-

NV
mere are many ways OF talking
ferth Amboy, the main object being
OF course, so to speak and act as to
cause others to talk about Perth Am
boy. Such is the end of Advertising
to have whatever may be advertised
on the tongue of everybody.
One way to talk a city I'M ia To
establish in 1t an up-to-date Young
Mems Christian Association, with an
admirably equipped building-and in
such a connection the best that
money can buy is none too good
lhen a Young Women's Christian
association, with an equally well
equipped home, would form a fine
ana much talked of complement to
.ne otner. Then other semi-publio
tut such as the Home for
the Aged, the City Hospital, and the
IKE, should be similarly cared for.
NOR would the impression be lost
upon the outsider if every church in
the city were suitably located and
housed. with such buildings as
would command the respect of all.
Public buildings, 1t goes without the
saying, would be of imposing archi-
lecture, with suitable provision for
the needs of every municipal depart
ment. OF course, all such would
cost money; but 1t would be cheap
advertising, and of a kind that would
talk Perth Amboy loud.
There are also other way. The
ancient Romans observed a much
liked feast, called the S%aturnalia. II
was a time of general merry making
on the part of everybody in the com
munity. Buildings were decorated.
costumes We're worn, and such gem
erai license prevailed that 1t is a
wonder that otherwise staid eommu-
mites were not shocked. But on
the contrary such festivals were so
generally well liked that the time
was extended until the festivities
lasted an entire week. Similar occa-
slons were observed during the Mid
die Ages in Europe, and were equal
ly popular.
Would it not make our city much
talked about If we observed annually
some such festival, call it by what
name you please? Suppose we should
decorate the city from top to bottom
In the brightest of colors, then in
vite in all our friends for miles
around and, having "taken off the
lid,' invite everybody to do as he
pleased? OF course. there should be
furnished free entertainments: doubt
less the brewers of Newark would
be willing to furnish 1t. To make
sure that there would be no inter-
ference of any kind, a committee of
citizens might be selected, who
might wait upon the sheriff and ask
him to do the soliciting from the
brewers. If on the following morn
ing many awoke incapacitated for
work, and many others sadder but
wiser, and If our boys and girls and
young men and young women saw
strange doings, and even participant
ed in them under the general license
prevailing, why, it would simply be
rart of the experience that e~ducates.
But 1t would talk Perth Amboy all
right.

STATEN ISLAND
LODGE OF ELKS
Plans for Memorial First
Sunday in December.

Staten Island Lodge No. Sal, B.
p. O. Elks, has begun preparations
for the annual memorial service
which is observed by all lodges
throughout the United States on the
first Sunday in December. Exalted
Ruler William j. Kenney has APP
pointed Thomas j. Mullen as chair
man of the local memorial commit
tee to arrange the program for that
day. At a recent meeting of the
lodge Joseph Cossey, of Tottenville,
and Irving A. Kinsey, Of West New
Brighton, were initiated in the mys-
teries of Elkdom and had the antlers
placed on their shoulders.
Plans for the annual euchre of
the lodge to be held In the German
clubrooms next Thursday night are
about completed. County Judge J.
Harry Herman, former exalted ruler
of the lodge, is chairman of the COM
mittee of arrangements and with the
purpose of excelling all perform
ances this committee has been doing
great work for the past several
months. The Elks euchre has be-
come one of the most important
social functions of the island. The
attendance grows larger each year
and the number and elegance OF the
prizes follow in natural sequence.

To the Voters of the Third Congress
lanai nictrioA.

Having won the nomination for
Congress in the Republican Primary
and having been endorsed by the Pro-
gressive Party, I respectfully solicit
| your support at the polls.
If you believe in the Protective
Tariff principles, which have made
this a prosperous country, so does
Brown.
If you believe that there should be
a revision of some of the schedules, SO
does Brown.
If you believe that this should be
done by a commission composed of the
best men to be had in the country, so
does Brown.
If you believe that the Democratic
Congress, OF which Mr.. scully is a part
of the majority, is playing politics by
shelving the bill passed by the Senate
months ago to restrict immigration, so
does Brown.
If you believe that Mr.. Scully has
failed because of his assignment to
the committee on Rivers and Harbors
Appropriations, to secure for his dis
trict larger sums for the improving
and maintaining of the waterways in
his District than the Chief Of Engi-
necrs of the War Department recon-
mended, so does Dr wn.
If you believe Mr.. Scully has failed
to represent you as he should, because
of neglecting his opportunities, SO does
Brown.
If you believe all of these, discharge
your present servant and vote for
Brown, and give him a chance to prove
his worth.
Mr.. Browns name will be the first
one on the ballot after the names Of
the Presidential Electors. Use a
black pencil in placing a x in the
square opposite his name; if you use
any other colored pencil you will in
validate your ballot.

Last night was the largest crowd

date for sheriff was the only repre-
sentative Of the Republican party

publican night" last night. All
those who have not secured their
tickets for the comedy tonight should
do SO before the doors are open be-
cause there is going to be a rush.
Mr.. Decker has announced a meeting
of the executive committee at his
home Tuesday night to make final
returns for the fair. The heads of
the various booths are requested to
be OF hand to make q report.
