SAFETY SIGNALS

Although there is perhaps more
QUITO traffic in Newark than in any
town on the peninsula, it is per-
haps the only one that has neg
lected traffic signals. Keep to the
Right" Danger, Go Slow"
School Street, Drive Carefully"
are prominent warnings placed in
many of our towns. Newark has
some very dangerous corners.
Keep to the Right" in center of
street intersections would add
much to our Safety First Cam
paign. Those streets running into
and crossing Main Street should
have these at once. Danger, keep
to the Right" strictly enforced
would pervent these thoughtless
and terrific whirls into Main
Street. The Center Street signals
have practically prevented all
crossing collisions and should by
all means be adopted.
The suggestion is herewith made
to Council, asking that they make
provision for such before some
shocking accident stuns the Com
munity.

resent the German conception of
republicanism, but Bremen,
rapidly growing city-state of more
than 100000 inhabitants. and Lu-
beck, another city-republic with
population of nearly 100000. are
governed almost upon the exact
plan of Hamburg. Lubbock under
constitution amended last in 1907,
and therefore rejecting the Goth
century German conception of re-
publicanism.
The three city republics of the
German empire are some distance
from the borders OF conservative
Prussia, the land ruled by Kaiser
William as his inheritance by
divine right, but their constitu-
tions are in tune with Prussia's.
Only seven years ago the Prussian
ministry, absolutely controlled by
William, opposed proposal to do
away with the three class system
of electing members to a lower
house of the Parliament, so that
there was thus fixed upon Prussia
an electoral law by which IS per-
cent of the voters choose only one
third of the popular legislative
body, while Is percent choose two
thirds. II is to be noted also that
these elections are made not by
direct vote of the people, but by
electoral college chosen by the
three-class system. Prussian cit
les resemble the city republics of
Bremen, Hamburg and Lubbock
in that the city council is chosen
by the three class system, so that
small minority of the inhabit-
ants, the largest taxpayers, al
ways elect two-thirds of that body.
Germans point out in justifica-
ton of their method of ruling
cities that the three republics and
the cities of Prussia are we'll gov
erned. 1t is true that the cities of
Prussia and the three free cities"
have clean streets, we'll admin
istered parks, cheap local trans
portation, and little if any public
graft" All these good things are
handed down to the masses of
these cities, by their masters, the
small minority constituting the
class that really rules. The
bride that tn e millions thus
excluded from power accept in
place of freemen's right of self
government is the physical COM
fort of clean, safe and healthy
cities. 1t is sometimes said that
the slaves of the better kind of
masters in this country were bet
ter off physically than many free
colored persons today, and the
answer is Yes, but they were

rather than medieval triumphant
~ point out that the Empire in
cludes three considerable repub-
lies. So if does, the so-called free
cities" of Bremen, Hamburg and
Lubbock, but a study of Hamburg
will show US how crude a nation of
republic the ruling class Of Ger
many entertains. Hamburg is a
state Of $50 square miles, of which
area the great commercial city of
Hamburg occupies nearly 80
square miles. The population of
the republic, shortly before the
outbreak Of the present war, was
close to 100000, that of the state
as a whole, rural and urban, prob
ably about 100000.
Now the constitution of this
German republic dates from 1861,
although it was revised in 1879
and again in 1906. Thus Hamburg
has had the benefit of whatever ad-
vance in republicanism, and dem
ocracy the German ruling class has
made in the last forty-five years.
Under the last revision, made in
the full light of the twentieth
century, the republic of Hamburg
is largely ruled by an executive
senate of Is men elected for life,
not by the people, but by the low
er legislative house called the
House of Burgesses. One half of
the senators must have studied
law, and at least seven OF the rest
must belong to the class of mer-
chants, which does not mean re-
tailers, but merchants occupied in
large business concerns. The Sen
ate has the power of veto over the
acts of the House of Burgesses.
except acts relating to taxation.
The House of Burgesses has
l60 members elected for six years,
half of them by all the taxpayers,
40 of the other half by house-own-
ers in the city of Hamburg, and
the other forty by burgesses or
former burgesses. judges and
other officials. Thus this great
city, one of the greatest in the Ger
man Empire, commercially one of
the greatest on earth, is ruled in
most matters by tiny fraction of
the inhabitants, and in all other
matters by a minority of the in
habitants. Nothing avails to lib
eralize the government of this So
called republic, in which the mon
arch of other German states is re-
placed by Senate representing a
small privileged class.
One might think that perhaps
accident had made Hamburg Sc
undemocratic a republic and that
its government did not truly rep.

ADVERTISING

Advertising is Truth so present
ed that it will attract attention,
create an interest and arouse de-
sire. Advertising today must be
true or it is not advertising. If
not true. it is fake and the writer
has blackballed himself from men,
bership to the Rotary Club. Once
upon a time, advertising consisted
in deceiving the reader. Anything
to sell the goods. Today, selling
is not all. The customer must be
pleased. The goods must be de-
livered to stay. Returned goods
represents poor advertising. The
store that accepts returned goods
graciously and without question
restores part but not all the con-
fidence lost in deceptive Advertis-
ing Returned goods increase. the
overhead. Increased overheads
brings the AID Man on the carpet.
Truth in Advertising is a business
proposition. Aside from the
moral, Truth pays. Truth in bus
mess has attracted the words best
to its service. A business man to-
day ranks with the leading cit
liens. Indeed he is the leading
citizen. No longer have the Three
Learned. a credited monopoly on
Veracitv. In very fact. they hold
only small block of stock. Bus
mess has the controlling interest.
Truth has given Commerce an
Ideal. a vision. Big Business men
are dreamers. They have concep-
tions Of Newer Dav. They are
the leaders of the worlds civiliza-
ton. They are patrons of the
Good Things of Earth. The
worlds advance today depends on
the Ideals. the Energies of the
business Man. And he has them.
