Commissioner Finley Urges Fitting
Exercises Tomorrow ~.
Albany. N. Y, May 17.-John II. Fin
ley, state commissioner of education,
has made the following annuncement
to the schools Of the state, whose pu-
pills are urged to read peace literature
and sing peace songs tomorrow:
May Is has been designated ar
Peace Gay, and its observance has
been asked by the American School
Peace league. There is no better word
to send to all the schools than the
utterance of the president in Phila-
delphia to the 1000 aliens who had
Just become citizens of the United
States. And what was said to these
aliens who had come from over the
seas is as applicable to those who,
born In America, have also entered
citizenship, or are on the way to it.
''The example of America must be a
special example. The example of
America must be the example not
merely of peace because it Will not
fight, but of peace because peace Is the
healing and elevating influence of the
world -

ly, shutting Of all traffic on It. We
predict that there would soon be such
a congestion at the ''hole,p with one
car only passing through at time,
that something would have to be
done quickly. The line OF automo-
biles waiting their turn would soon
reach for blocks and the authorities
would be compelled to take notice.
The people of South Amboy should
be just as anxious as the EVENING
NEWS to see the conditions at the
south approach to the bridge i'm
proved For the South Amboy
Citizen we would suggest that instead
of knocking" the NEWS, it join
with us in the campaign in an effort
to get something done. Perhaps the
writer of the letter which we reprint
today from the South Amboy Citizen
can offer some constructive sugges-
ton. If there is still way open
through the courts to force the rail
road to widen the "hole," and the
city is opposed to any peaceful COM
promise, the sooner a new action is
started the better. The health and
happiness of large number of the
citizens of South Amboy demand a
remedy for present outrageous con-
ditions. 1t is up to the authorities
to do something.
AS far as the EVENING NEWS is
concerned, we care not how it is
done, only do it, The county has
suffered long enough because of the
situation.

MAKING A PORT OF TRENTON.


celebrating the completion of a
twelve-foot channel up the Delaware
river to that city, and the breaking
of ground for the construction of the
city's first municipal dock. The en-
thusiastic manner in which Trenton
is going about its harbor develop
ment emphasizes the fact that those
who have little or nothing of GER
tain thing win strive with the great
est energy to become great along
that line, while others who have
something in abundance are prone to
ignore it entirely
AS far as nature has provided
Trenton would be considered an In
land city for, under ordinary cireum-
stances, the Delaware river is naviga-
BILE only as far as Bordentown, and
constant dredging is Necessary to
keep the river navigable as far as
that place. But with the most com
rfne1dable perseverance, and after
long years of agitation due largely to
the foresightedness of Mayor Donnel-
ly, Trenton has succeeded in getting
a channel twelve feet deep all the
way to that city and now they are
going about improving the water
front with the intention of develop
ing Trenton commercially.
Perhaps, if Perth Amboy was not
so favorably located for harbor de-
velopment; did not have deep water
directly to her shores and was not
within few miles from the open
sea, the people here would show the
same energy and enterprise toward
encouraging water transportation as
Trenton is doing. Because nature
has been so lavish with US, however
the people here need constant prod.
ding in order to accomplish anything
whatever toward harbor develop.
ment. If we are not careful we are
likely to see an inland city like
Trenton crowd ahead of us in com.
mercial importance.
We point with pride to the fact
that the city has bought waterfront
property at the expenditure Of
100000 with the intention of de
veloping our commerce. When We
compare our advantages with Tren.
ton, however, our appropriation ot
100000 becomes insignificant, ii
view of the fact that Trenton, located
many miles up the Delaware and
with only a twelve-foot channel Just
completed, has not only appropriated
100000 for the development OF the
riverfront, but has provided $4,000
more for the construction of the first
municipal dock. Besides this, a new
broad thoroughfare is being laid out
along the river which is to be con
nected with the very heart OF the
business district of the city, affordinl
direct outlet to the shippers. Thi,
new thoroughfare is to be known al
Commercial avenue and cannot hell
but play a prominent part in the up
building Of Trenton as port.
1t is inspiring to read Mayor
Donnelly's address, delivered at the
ceremonies in connection with the
breaking ground for the municipa
dock and the opening OF the new
channel. Many distinguished mel
from all parts of the country were
present, having come to Trenton OF
board steamer from Philadelphia
making an inspection of the Della
ware during the trip. Whatever the
future has in store for Trenton as Z
result Of this enterprise in waterway
Development, the people will hav,
Mayor Donnelly to thank for his un
tiring efforts In this direction.

THE SOUTH APPROACH PROBLEM

We regret the attitude assumed
by our valued contemporary, the
South ,Amboy Citizen, over the
agitation to remedy the conditions at
the south approach to the Raritan
! - lless. Apparently the Citizen
[fealizes the necessity of improve
.lnent there, but it has failed thus far
to take any stand that will help
solve the problem, deYoting Its
energies to trying to pick flaws in
the position taken by the EVENING
NEWS, as If this newspaper was try
ing to put something over" on the
city of South Amboy. In its latest
Issue the Citizen, besides publishing
a letter on the subject, which We re-
print elsewhere, had the following
to say editorially:
"a contributor from this city to
the Perth Amboy EVENING NEWS
III advocating that this city absorb
the Pennsylvania railroad road to the
Amboy bridge, says, we understand
they have offered it free OF all en-
). cumbrance to thl city How long
since2 When did the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company ever officially offer
to the common council this folly ?
There is no record of such. Council
men may have been approached in
dividually on the matter, but we
know not of it, The contributor
further states in referring to the
oIe-in-the-w wall, the railroad COM
pany was relieved from any RESPONSE
bility in this matter some time ago
by q decision of the courts. Con-
tributor' had better read this decision
before making such a statement. The
court ruled against this city on ac-
count of the procedure being wrong,
and stated the right course to take in
the case. If the city desires law
suit, 1t can get the hole-in-the-wall
widened beyond any doubt, If pro-
ceeded with through the proper
course of law When once widened
there will be no need of a watchman
there, the expense of which seems To
worry said contributor He evidently
has some inside information, and
bases his article on such"
Our South Amboy friends are
mistaken in their idea of what the
EVENING NEWS is trying to accom-
plish by this agitation. We care not
whether the Pennsylvania private
road becomes a public highway or
not. Our one desire is to improve
conditions at the south approach to
the bridge and thereby relieve the
county of standing disgrace. The
article we published last week, which
seems TO have aroused the ire OF
some South Amboy citizens, merely
offered one suggestion for solving the
problem on the south shore. II
South Amboy does not like the idea
advanced in the article, let her sug-
gest some other method. The
EVENING NEWS will favor anything
that will bring about an improve
ment, either of the Pennsylvania
private road, or at the hole-in-the-
wall If South Amboy does not want
fhe Pennsylvania road. let her take
steps to force an improvement at the
hole.R

that could happen would be to board
