THE w. A. A.

A final effort is being made to save
the Woodbridge Athletic Association
From a strictly business point OF
view it would seem as If this organ
ization is insolvent. 1t has q large
debt and little money. It's member
ship is small, and the property is in
need of extensive repairs. For several
years the association has had a hard
struggle to exist and 1t now looks as
If the end had been reached unless
there is renewed interest among the
citizens of Woodbridge, and particu-
larly among the members of the club,
to rescue the organization from the
serious situation in which 1t Is now
found.
The w. A. A. has come to be one
of the institutions in Woodbridge. II
Is the recognized social center of the
community, and once its doors are
closed the people will realize as never
before what the w. A. A. has meant
to them. 1t is an expensive PROPOSE
ton to maintain, however, and 1t
cannot be expected that a few will
carry the burden in order that the
entire community may benefit.
There is no reason why q town like
Woodbridge should not be able to
support such a club after 1t was once
established. Metuchen, Crawford, and
many other places not much larger
than Woodbridge maintain clubs of
this character with success. It would
be a decided step backward for
Woodbridge to allow the w. A. A. to
pass out of existence
1t is to be hoped that the commu-
nifty will be aroused to the seriousness
of the situation, as far as the club is
concerned, and that when the annual
meeting is held October 19, there will
be a large attendance of members
and that there will be a renewed
enthusiasm that will place the club
on a permanent foundation assuring
for 1t many years of prosperity and
a more prominent place in the towns
affairs.

Luke McLukc says.
When he takes her out when they
are Courting, a Dollar looks like 80
cents. When he takes her out when
they are Married, 80 cents looks like
a Dollar.
Sit down and be honest with your
self and you will have to admit that
what you call your Principles are
merely your Prejudices.
You can give a mans Children
candy. and he will think nothing of it.
But If you give his Dog bone, he
imagines that you are trying to
poison it.
A Husband and a Wife may have
secrets that neither tells the other.
But what they think of one another
isn't one of the secrets.
Just because a boy has to wear his
daddy's made-over pants Is no sign
that he takes after his father.
Our idea of a good citizen is a
| hard headed man who has soft
heart.
It is mighty hard for man to look
dignified when he realizes that his
nose is running and he has forgotten
to bring handkerchief with him.
1t isn't orneryness that Is responsi-
BILE for the daily increasing batch Of
divorce cases. 1t is Selflshness.
The reason why a man has to have
few eye-openers in the morning Is
because he lis blind to his own faults.
This would be a fine world II the
friendship of our friends was as con-
stant as is the enmity Of our ene-
miles,
The reason why men are greater
whistlers than women is because
when you are whistling you can't
talk.
Every time an old fashioned woman
sees a wooden bed she feels like TAX
ing a hairpin and investigating the
cracks to see If there are not few
families of bed bugs hidden away.
You can purchase anything on the
installment plan, even Freedom
That's all there is to paying alimony.
A fall doesn't shock a girl as much
as does the fact that she wasn't wear
ing her best stockings when she fell.
The old-fashioned man who used
to hide his papers and money in the
old family Bible now has son who
rents a safety deposit box.
1t is easy enough to find a lost
collar button If you only know how.
Just take off your shoes and socks
and blindfold yourself and walk
around in your bare feet. You'll step
on it, all right.
The faster man is, the longer 1t
takes for him to get home at night.
When q man is learning to drive
his machine he hates to have you ask
him If he ran into any one he knew
when he was down town.
A woman can have good taste In
selecting things for herself. But when
she buys her husband a tie she al
ways seems to get something that will
queer him with the other women.
A woman has her troubles. II she
doesn't paint, her beauty fades. And
| IL she does paint. her beauty rubs off.
Use all the sweet words you can.
You may have to eat them some day.

In shame to nave the country know
how absolutely helpless she is in face
of the mob that now controls. A
number of persons have been shot;
United States mails have been held
up; the fire department have been
turned back at what the strikers call
their deadline, when answering an
alarm of fire; one railroad station has
been raided and passengers alighting
from the trains have been forced to
return to the cars, so that the rail-
road has finally abandoned the station
for the time being. Detectives sent
by the railroad company to guard the
station were ordered out of town by
the mob, the strikers stating that
they did not want any officers of any
kind around. The authorities are
absolutely helpless in the matter.
Be 1t known that there are no
sheriff's deputies involved in these
outrages; no outside help or gunmen
have been brought into Bayonne to
COW the strikers. The lawlessness has
not been aimed at the companies
against whom the strikers have griev-
ances. but innocent people have been
driven from their work and beaten
all because there is no authority to
command respect for the law.
Surely organized labor cannot sup
port such outrages as this. We do
not believe that the thinking men be-
longing to labor unions uphold a
policy whereby lawless mobs have a
free hand in any city in this country.
But how are these mobs to be pre-
vented from taking the law into their
own hands as they have in Bayonne.
II there Is not some authority TO
compel them to submit? And what
authority is to be used to compel
them to submit to the law? 1t is
evident that the local police force is
with his deputies is not to be called
upon, and If it is not good policy to
call out the state militia, how is a
community to save itself from such
anarchy as now exists in Bayonne?
There is just one solution: A
dozen mounted men in uniform, with
a firm determination to enforce law
regardless of who is hit, would COM
pei the respect for the law in
Bayonne and would relieve that COM
munity of the disgrace that has fallen
upon 1t. AS long as the strikers obey
the law a state constabulary would
no more interfere with them than
any other persons, but when such
lawlessness exists as is now taking
place in Bayonne, the force of the law
would be felt in manner that would
command respect, and that is what
this country needs more than any
thing else.
II there ever was striking object
lesson showing the need of a state
constabulary in New Jersey. 1t is the
conditions as they now exist in
Bayonne, where, today, there is TO
authority whatever to see that the
lives are protected and that innocent
>eople are able to follow their usual
wits without being moiested.

went to a barn and here an old
cat said that there was a big city
not far away. He shared his sup
per with me and let me sleep with
him. In the morning | thanked
him for what he had done for me
and started for the city.
] walked and walked for a long
time without coming to any place.
Finally | came to a lot of cats at
the edge of a large city. ] asked
one who said that this was the
largest city in the world
1t was the city ] had wanted to

on which had been set out dinner
in large pans and cans. ] thought

After a while | went up a wide
street where there was no dinner
There was boy with lot of
things which look like the things
our stable boy wore at home. He
looked at me and called me Tom
ME. He seemed to like me. He
put me in a bag with sheets of
paper like those in pile at home
behind the door in it. Every once
in a while he would yell and put
his hand into the bag and take out
sheet. Then he would put his
hand in and pet me. He finally
took me out and d,"Kitty, would
