WILSON Is FIRST

Prominent American business men
regardless OF party affiliations have
expressed the belief that there will
be no national party Issue In the
Presidential campaign in 1916 The
present administration has done
more than any other In fifty years
TO establish fair tariff regulations and
a sound financial system and the
next campaign II is thought will be
laid on lines Of International rela.
tons. There Ia an element In this
country that wants peace at any price
any another that fayors war at any
cost The Wilson policy is peace on
reasonable and humane terms, but
war II we must have II. and as a pre-
caution there will be a demand for
preparedness In the way Of equip
ment In guns and ships and tho train
ing Of soidiery. but the campaign ia
apt to be pitched on the idea Of In
fuencing other nations to settle
their differences along lines of JUS
tlcc and humanity.
II has never been the policy Of the
United States to 20 about with \
ccat Of mail to dare other nations 10
war. Ours has been an attitude Of
peaceful pursuit Of happiness and
prosperity. Established laws Of M
lions founded upon principles Of
righteous Interchange Of traffic have
been strictly observed by this gov
eminent and upon that principle we
expect to hold the respect Of the
world President Wilson has strictly
adhered to that principle and
the peope of the United
States approve his course while
contending for peace he shows a wise
disposition to be prepared to assert
the American right Of Unrestricted

NEW HOTEL FOR
CITY IS REPORT

A modern hotel, with a spacious
lobby, will be erected near the heart
of the city this spring, If plans now
under way materialize. A company
is being formed for the erection OF d
building to be used for hostelry,
that its promoters declare VIII be
Perth Amboy's Cafe Boulevard"
The agitation for the erection of
hotel with lobby and providing all
modern conveniences Of the metro
politan hostelries has been started
following the closing of the Packer
house. The new hotel is to provide
for the city a hostelry that will fill
the need caused, 1t is said, by the
closing of the historic hotel at Smith
and High streets.
The new hostelTy is to be equipped
with handsome bar, and the promo
ters, it is declared, depend on get
ting the license under which the
Packer house bar Is now run trans
ferred to the new location.
Since the closing OF the Packer
house "for repairs" politicians have
found the place less attractive than
before in the absence of steam heat
and conveniences abandoned in the
interests of economy. At present
there is no indication that the place
will be put In repair by the owner,
and there Is no telling when the hotel
will regain its former prominence as
a hostelry. Those sponsoring the
erection of new hotel are keeping
out of the limelight until the com
pany for the construction of the
building is actually formed.
