NO NECESSITY FOR TT

Where is to be found the public
demand at this particular time for
extending the municipal lighting
plant? Perth Amboy is already over
loaded with bonds. 1t was only a
month or two ago that outstanding
notes and other obligations were pro-
vided for by a bond issue amounting
to over 100000. The city does not
want any more bonds issued unless
they are absolutely necessary.
No one can say that it is necessary
at this time to go into the CONNER
cial lighting field. Let us see how
well we are making out in the matter
of street lighting alone first. The city
is by no means unanimous In the
matter Of municipal lighting, anyway.
Perth Amboy wants economy in
public affairs at this time. The Re-
publicans took hold of the city gov
ernments with a promise that this
would be their aim. The tax rate is
aiready high, and 1t Is likely to GO
higher. War taxes are being imposed
pm all sides. It may not be 20 spec
tacular to cut down expenses and
save money, but that is what the
people want at this time. and that is
what thev expect the aldermen to do.
The Republicans have criticized the
Democrats for the way In which they
went ahead with improvements on an

Washington, May 12.--NebrasKa has
the distinction Of being the first state
to enter an actual subscription to the
Liberty loan. While Idaho sent in an
advance pledge several weeks before
the declaration Of the issue, Nebraska
was first to subscribe since the bonds
have been actually placed on sale. She
took $500, 900 subscription.
A 100000 subscription was received
from the Woodmsn Of the World.

WELCOME 10 EHE ENGLISH
No. less enthusiastic, than the
welcome given .Gs.arshal Joffre and NJ.
Vivian. In In New York. Wednesday and
Thursday, was the greeting extended
to Arthur James Balfour and the
|8ther English Commissioners yester-
day. While the French visit Is the
more spectacular. the English is
every bit as impressive and, In
sense, carries even more meaning to
the great American public than do
the visitors from France. &
1t is delicate task that Mr..
Balfour has to perform, and he is
carrying 1t out in most compl,-
mentary manner. Our past differ
ences are bound to be recalled no
matter what attitude we may assume
today. But with the two great
English speaking nations now stand
ing shoulder to shoulder in COM
mon cause for the advancement of
democracy and for the uplift of
humanity, a new feeling is springing
up everywhere that must endure for
ever.
America has never had stauncher
friend in England than Mr.. Balfour.
1t is particularly fitting that he
should be chosen as the one to come
among us and cement the newly
formed friendship, brought about by
our entrance into the great war. His
impressive address in New York last
night strikes home when he says:
'To us of Anglo Saxon, to people of
English speech, it seems impossible,
incredible, that a nation should clear
ly set itself to work and coordinate
every means of science, every means
that knowledge, that industry can
provide, not for the bettering of its
other people," That Is the true
spirit that binds the American people
to the English today. We are of one
race and one blood and stand shoul-
der to shoulder as brothers, as nc
other two nations can do.
I'VE have reached a moment in
the worlds history" said Mr.. Balfour
last night. "'on which the future, not
of this country, but of every country
not of Its interests but every interest
THAT the very heart of civilization
is trembling in the balance"
Again he says: shall we, who
know what freedom is, become the
humble and obedient servants OF
those only who know what power is ?
That will never be tolerated. The
free nations of the earth are not toys
to be crushed out of existence. and
II any proof is required that that
consummation cannot be reached in
the civilization of the world, that
that communication is impossible. n
is gathering like this where tho
three great democracies of the West
are Joined together and are meeting
together, I may say. under circum-
stances unique in the whole history
of the world
The American people do well in

Recent Developments in the United
States Senate tend to show what q
pity 1t was that there was not Ken
yon among the signers of the Declara-
ton of Independence. Such a person
could have insisted on horning In an
amendment declaring for Prohibition.
And what a pity there was no Kenyon
sitting in Independence Hall during
the first Congress. He could have
sneaked through an amendment de-
priving George Washington and the
rest OF the army of the right to drink
anything but water. And q Kenyon in
Congress during the Civil War could
have seen to 1t that Grant and Sher-
man and the rest of the army went
dry. And Kenyon in Congress In
1893 could have doubled the number
of deaths from typhoid by making It
q crime for any man who fought in
the Spanish-American War to touch
liquor.
