Abolish The Hyphen?

A movement seems to have been
started to "abolish the hyphen in
America. Theodore Roosevelt sug-
gested it in recent magazine article
and the idea has found considerable
support Some of the more ratical
anti-hyphen enthusiasts urge that
the nation start right in now to
abolish all socities such as German
American, British-American, Franco
American, Italo- Merican, ETC., and
have nothing but straight Ameri-
cans"
1t is easy though to sympathize
with this point of view, because of
the grievous abuse to which the
hyphen has been put. Undoubtedly it
would be a great blessing to the
States, contribution to present
peace and a guarantee of future har-
mony and unity, if the hyphen could
be wholly eliminated from our ma
tional life. Nevertheless, this is not
the way to go about it.
1t will not do to try to eliminate
the hyphen by law. Such an effort
would naturally and rightly be
termed persecution. Our citizens of
foreign birth have perfect right to
their "hyphenated" societies based
on racial origin and traditions of a
common fatherland. Some of those
societies are useful in that they
serve as training schools bringing
the alien into familiarity with our
language and institutions. They
should not all be condemned because
some of them have abused their
privileges. They could not be abol-
ished without serious blow at one
of the fundamentals of American
liberty-the right of voluntary as
ISOLATION and assembly.
1t is desirable that the hyphen be
got rid of as rapidly as possible.
But the real obstacle to united citi-
zenship is not the printed hyphen
but the hyphen in mems souls. That
cannot be legislated away or boy
cotted away. 1t can be eliminated
more effectively by justice and toll
erance.-Hackensac Record.

World Americans.

Now is not time for US, as Ameri-
cans, to lose faith in ourselves, or to
feel Inundated at our comparative
inactivity in the violent world history
now making on all sides.
The fearful holocaust abroad in
which large majority of America s
world friends are aged is no doubt
a heavy burden on all sections of our
people. A victory for one of the
great warning combinations brings
JOY to those of us brought up in Ger
tain traditions, and a corresponding
despair in case of defeat. To others
successful operation of carnage at
a certain continental location, or by
their particular fellow countrymen,
increases confidence and raises
spirits.
But is not the outstanding lesson
to our great Republican nation that
we, it's citizens should look to our
own housekeeping, and perfect our
own ideals of citizenship, so that
they may stand forth as glorious
example to all people and to every
nationality; that we become American
on a world scale, with prejudice for
none and kindly helpfulness for all

'TiDns Music To The Ear.

Henry Ford says he has $1O,OOo,-
900 to spend if necessary to persuade
this country that peace is always the
best plan. :. He thinks people have
a false idea of war that ought to be
educated out of them. He thinks
that they are fooled by the glory and
glamor of it. -. He wants the people
to be persuaded that preparedness
for war creates war.
Henry does not seem to realize
that several times $10,0OO,OOO is be-
ing spent every day, and has been
spent every day for fourteen months,
to persuade mankind that peace is
the best plan and that excess IN
preparation for war is about as
dangerous as no preparations at all.
Our newspapers and movie shows
are telling the truth about war nova
days in SO far as they can get it. They
represent it as a terrible job. The
glory and the glamor of it go for
nothing. 1t is all tragedy, the purge
of the passions; tragedy, destruction,
and waste. Henry's ten millions
would be a mere scratch on the slate
compared with the daily picture OF
war that we have been getting this
last year.
Have patience, Henry. This is a
war against war. Folks who survive
it are going to be gun shy for some
time. You have done a great deal to
make life attractive. That is your
great service to peace, because the
pleasanter life is the less people want
to die. But war, Henry, brings
much greater lesson than that-the
lesson of self-sacrifice. Nobody is
much good that has not in him some
idea, some ideal, that he cares more
for than he does his life, even though
it is life alleviated by the Ford motor.
You help to make life pleasant, but
war, Henry, helps to make it noble,
and if it is not noble it does not mat
ter damn, Henry, whether it is
pleasant or not. That is the old les
son of Calvary repeated at Mons and
Ypres and Liege and Namur. Whether
there are more people in the world
or less, whether they are fat of lean,
whether they are Fords or oxen,

losing proposition for the one at
present in charge of police affairs.
The speeding and general traffic
conditions on Anderson avenue came
up for much criticism from Messrs.
Cadien, Brundage and Zimmerman.
Mr.. Sammis hoped that something
would be done in the case of Edge
water Hill road, as it was in very
dangerous condition.
Mayor Neumann took a parting

HdeOus Night

The crying nuisance of the indus
trial and machine institutions of the
Edgewater river front, especially
the railroad and tug whistling and
other steam noises in the dead of
night, thus destroying in large part
the sleep of the community, rage
simply unchecked, and regardless of
any laws of ordinary decency. 1t
is hard to believe that this COM
munity is part of state called New
Jersey, in county that sets itself
up as a model for the rest of the
world. One would think that there
were no such things as health boards,
police boards, and boards of council.
Yours,
Decency.

A BUSY Little Sentence.

Says S. B. in the New York "Tri-
bune":
The President, with the least ma
tural general all-round ability of any
President who has occupied the White
House since our Civil War, has been
the luckiest in that it is for the ordi-
nary man in the street not an easy
task to recognize his all-round weak
ness.
EXactly.-Collier's Weekly.
Just how any man of common in
telligence can class President Wilson
with the weak ones is much more
difficult thing to understand than
knowing why so many fools dare to
criticise him.

President for Equal Suffrage

The announcement that President
Wilson has made up his mind to vote
for equal suffrage was one OF those
graceful acts for which he is noted.
His determination to yield at last to
the opportunities of his friends, the
ladies', will gladden. their hearts and,
no doubt, add many thousand votes
to their cause.

 SIBERIAN CAMPS
Responds Favorably To Presidents Request In
 Austria's Behalf.

Washington, June 4-Emperor Nicholas of Russia has responded fla vorab1y to President Wilson's per sona1 letter conveying the request by Austria that provision be made for inspecting Siberian camps where Aus trian prisoners are held.
 Following unsuccessful negotia- tions through usual diplomatic chan ne1s, Dr. Constantin Dumba, the Aus trian ambassador here, asked Presi- dent Wilson about two months ago to send a personal letter to Emperor Nicholas. The request was the re- suit of reports that Austrian civilians and prisoners of war were not getting proper treatment. The Austrian government asked that the inspection be conducted by American Red Cross agents.
 The answer, delayed because of the absence of the Emperor from Petro- grad, was brought here today by Roy Baker, private secretary to Anbassa- dor Marye.
