Everybody Sing!

According to John G. Freund, the American peo-.
pie now spend about $600,000,000 year for music,
or, say, $50 family.
It's lot of money. And of course, good deal
of extravaganza is contained in it-top-heavy OPERA
for example, which doesn't reach the people who
need music most; and over-ballooned concerts and
the like.
But it IS not too much for the benefits that go with
it. Why, when you think of the billion or more
spent grog, isn't it clear that we're still too stingy
with musicf
We spend practically much on music as we do
on war, including pensions. In Germany, on the
other hand, so long held up the model in music,
the military burden is ten times heavy as the
music burden With due respect to the fatherland
this country, in the apporonment of it's outlay as
between man-killing and nsaving activities, has
it beaten hands tied.
AND STILL WE HAVEN'T HALF ENOUGH
MUSICi
In the next company you Ilnd yourseH where
music is introduced, note how large the proportion
is which has not yet learned either to sing with eff
feet or to play musical instrument
Gen. Sherman used to say that he knew only two
tunes-one Marching Through Georgia" and
the other wasn't.
Now and then there are odd folk who cannot get
the hang of music But in the main the lack of pow
er to make music is sign more of neglect than mis-
fortune You CAN sing or play il you want to and
are willing to learn. And it's worth learning for
nothing else better adds to LIES contentments.
He who has music in his soul and the power to
express it has resource which can never be taken
away which is equally consoling in joy and
which may always be depended upon to be means
of fellowship with others.

The BIGGER Value

Henry Klein, Chicagoan, has little garden. His
wife tends it. She planted tulips He wanted cab
bages. They quarreled. With this result says the
lnterocean:
Things were partially smoothed over yester
day in Judge Uhlirs repository of domestic
woes. The jurist advised Mrs Klein to please
her husband in the matter Of the garden
''But the tulips were pretty, turning up
their bright yellow and red faces to the sun. l
thought, of course, he would like them," she
said.
'But what good are they?' objected the
more practical lord and master. 90 You can't
eat 'em, can youg And you eat cabbages."
''AI right" agreed Mrs. Klein, trifle wear
lily. .I'n plant the cabbages if Henry'n prom
Use not to desert me any more"
We except to his honor's ruling The husband was
wrong. There is more to life than bread and cab
bages. Matter-of-fact man needs the beauty and
grace and poetry of flowers in his scheme of things
Cabbages he can work for and buy. Affection, in
spiration, joy he cannot buy.
It was the woman in this case-it is almost always
the woman-who saw the bigger value. And it is
the great fault of judges that many of them never
see it.
A husband held to the hearthstone only by the
odor of cabbages we fear lacks of the qualities
required to make happy home. May the missus
I'm this case yet find the way to have her flower bed

Stage Gossip

summer he promises to Guido

called '"The Human Tank" who
will, in full view of the audience,

| day excepting to vote Because they have the
holiday many of them plan to spend the whole
day fishing or on an outing of some kind and
neglect to vote at all. Perhaps if they had to
work they would make it poirt to cast their
ballot going to or from their labor.
For those who do not have the whole day
off, the polls arc open at o'clock in the morn
ing, so that any man has the opportunity of
voting before going to his work, if he cannot
get to the polls before they close in the after
noon.
Early voting is something that is being con
tinually urged 1t is recognized that nine
tcnths of the corruption at the polls takes
place after dark. This means after o'clock
in the afternoon
If the commuter who does not have to leave
town before 73O o'clock or o'clock cannot
start a few minutes earlier for his train in
order to vote before he leaves town, he evi-
IDENTIFY does not have enough interest in the
outcome of the election to vote at all, and his
expression at the polls is not worth while. The
same thing applies to the laborer who goes
to work perhaps at o'clock, and who could
leave his home a few minutes earlier on cleo
ton morning in order to vote on his way to
duty.
New York state has the o'clock closing,
and it is significant that everybody manages
to cast their ballot there. New York has as
many laborers and as many commuters as
New Jersey. The proposition to close the
polls at 5 clock in the afternoon is an ex-
cellent one and ought to receive the endorse
ment of every legislator who is in favor Of
The honest ballot and fair count.

PROVIDING FOR MILITIA

Senator Ramsay, who attended the inaugu-
iation Of President Wilson at Washington,
and who saw the New Jersey militia on pa
rade, has lost no time in taking action looking
toward a better equipment for the National
Guard of the state
Since the parade there has been Il great
many criticisms aimed at the New Jersey
militia because of their shabby appearance
This does not reflect on the guardsmen them
selves, as it is admitted that they marched
and conducted themselves in an excellent man
ner. But their appearance was nothing that
would bring credit to New Jersey. Senator
Ramsay has taken steps to remedy the de
fects by having q commission appointed to in
vestigate the matter This is altogether fitting
and proper
New Jersey cannot afford to have her troops
in shabby condition when they go on parade

PRIDE IN LOCAL HISTORY.

Mayor Garretson's gift to the public library
of the original commission to James Parker as
mayor of Perth Amboy in 1771 from the Eng
lish government, is an excellent example to
others who may have historical objects relat-
ing to the early days of the city which would
stimulate local patriotism.
Perth Amboy has been altogether too much
neglected by the historians of this country We
have city of which we are proud, but too
many of us know far too little regarding the
part Perth Amboy played in colonial and revo-
lutionary affairs. Such documents as Mayor
Garretson has presented the library tend to
throw light ON these early days as relating to
Perth Amboy. We need still more of this kind
so that Perth Amboyans may become more
fully informed on such matters

CLOSE POLLS EARLY

A bill is pending in the legislature provid-
ing for the closing of the polls in this state at
. o'clock i'll the afternoon on election day One
Of the objections raised to this is that the
commuter will be barred from voting if this
bill becomes law, because he cannot get back
home before the polls close, 1t is also claimed
that the polls are kept open until clock for
the convenience of the laboring man, some of
whom do not quit work until 6 clock.
