PERTH AMBOY,S SPIRIT

The spirit and enthusiasm shown by the people of Perth Amboy
at the Liberty Loan meeting in the high school auditorium last night
SO far exceeded any previous demonstration of this kind that it is
apparent that this city will have no difficulty in raising its full quota
within the specified time.
But the amount is not going to be raised unless everybody does
his and her full share. Although the advanced subscriptions an
nounced last night seem large, there is still a long ways to go and
with the big amounts practically all in there will be plenty for the
Respective teams to doin gathering in the balance.
To raise 81 S722 200 in Perth Amboy, a city made up almost entirely
Of working people, where the wealthy class, so called, is conspicuous
by its absence, is no slight undertaking. But we thought the same
thing when our quota was a little under one million dollars, and
again when it was a little under a million and a half. But we have
always put it across in fine style, and we are going to do the same
this time.
The interest manifested by the people in this loan is greater
than ever before, probably because our boys are lover there now.
But whatever the cause, it means that the people are aroused to the
full significance of the campaign and they are ready to sacrifice along
with their sons and brothers in France.
By everyone doing his or her part the quota for Perth Amboy
in this $6,00O,OO00O0 Liberty Loan will be oversubscribed the same
as all the others have been. Perth Amboy never has been known as
a Stacker city and it Is not going to join that class now.

PUBLIC SERVICE AND THE PEOPLE

Fair minded persons will not grumble so much at the increase
in fare that has been granted to the Public Service Railway Company
as they will find just complaint in the service rendered. To think
of paying more money without any understanding as to improved
service is a blow that the public have a right to resent.
We all know that expenses have increased enormously and the
decision of the War Labor Board greatly increasing the wages of all
the employees of the Public Service made it imperative that additional
revenue must be secured if the wheels are to be kept turning.
The road could, of course, be thrown into bankruptcy, but that
would have such far+reaching consequences at this time that it is
better to tide over the situation, if possible, even at the expense of
the public.
But what the people want to know most is, win the Public Serv-
ice continue its "public-be-damned" policy that has brought it into
such dsrepute in the past. With its great influence at Trenton it has
defed municipalities and ignored the public, doing about as it pleased,
taking what was not willingly given it. violating franchises when they
stood in the way and all the satisfaction the people could get would
be injuries added to insults.
The Public Service have become known Isl a veritable "hog
reputation.
Now, in the face of all this, the people are called upon to help
1t out of a hole by paying increased fares without so much as an init
nation that they are going to receive any more consideration in the
future than they have in the past.
IL the Public Service would show even the slightest inclination
to meet the public half way in the matter in the way of more consid-
Grafton and improved service, there would be some recompense for
the increased fares that the public must now pay.

should be most reassuring. There IS not a tant u compromise W.

can be no peace obtained by any kind OF bargain OF COM
promise with the governments of the central empires, be-
cause w e have dealt with them already and have seen them
deal with other governments that were parties to this srug-
gle. at BrestLitovsk and Bucharest. They have convinced
us that they are without honor and do not intend Justice.
They observe no covenants, accept no principle but force
and their own interest. We cannot come to terms with
them They have made it impossible. The German people
must by this time be fully aware that we cannot accept the
word Of those who forced this war upon us. We do not
think the same thoughts or speak the same language OF
agreement \
We have set our faces like flint to the winning of the war and
peace ofensives intended for the people back home will be handled
in the same manner that our boys in France have handled the Mill
tary ofensives. They will only spur us on to greater endeavor IN
the great task that we have set out to accomplish.
Whether intended to help the loan or not, the Presidents speech
coming at the very outset of the campaign, once more clarifies the
atmosphere, makes the issue plain and inspires the people as nothing
else could.

Editor. Evening News, !

Dear Sir:
Since ministers are entrusted with
the moral welfare of their communl-
ties, I find it impossible not to express
myself at this time. 1t is generally
understood tina It is the expressed IN
tention of the managers OF the NOV
ing picture theaters Of our city to
open their respective places on sum
days. Whatever the various reasons
may be that are given for so doing, 7
is generally recognized the only real
reason is TO secure an increased In
come. Whatever may be said to the
contrary, there is nothing else that
would induce them to adopt s1ch q
measure. But 1t Is exactly such q
privilege that h state law denies 10
them and to everybody else ON sun
day. .
When it Is said that 1t is done in
other places in New Jersey, that Is
simply to say that 1t is done In these
places in defiance of the Law If the
citizens of other places are content
H~lpinely TO allow their community
TO be branded as l~aw-breaking, the
citizens of the Pacemaking City think
better of themselves and would set
others a better example.
Patriotism demands a saving OF
gasoline, and in response our citizens
generally, have ~refrainee voluntarily
from using gasoline on Sunday. Pa.
triotism also demands a saving oil
heat and light and power. Then our
citizens ought to feel just as much
ashamed 20 be found In a moving pic
ture theater ON Sunday as in an auto
| mobile. Our citizens may well boy
colt the efforts of the rowing picture
| theaters in tempting them to d.
| something distinctly unpatriotic. A
a time when the churches are urged
\ to unite as a patriotic measure, TO eff
| feet a saving in coal and gas and cleo
| tricity, II is the height of folly ant
| absurdity even to think of allowing

that pander TO the lower instincts o
men.

Daily Horoscope
The stars incline, but do not compel"
Sunday, September 20, 1918.

1.-THE stars incline, but do not compel
Sunday, September 20, 1918.
Conflicting influences rule this day,
according to astrologY. Although
benefic aspect, Saturn and Uranus
are strongly adverse.
Ministers and speakers of every
class may find 1t difficult to hold at
tention or to move audiences during
this configuration which encourages
a cold, criticak attitude of mind.
1t is not a fortunate rule for max
ing appeals for any patriotic or
philanthropic purpose.
The churches come under a sway
making for even greater changes than
Have come about. Two or three
years ago seers predicted a broaden
ing OF work, but the future promises
that great industrial enterprises will
be undertaken as well as the usual
charitable activities.
There is a sign promising that a
millionaire will provide an immense
fund for the aid of returning soldiers
and that this will be administered
as a business venture which will be
successful.
Since this is the Day of Judgment,
according to occulists all men who
hold In their possession either vast
power or great wealth will be called
to account before the final peace
settlements. This is interpreted to
mean that the next decade will mark
supreme changes.
Nervous diseases, nose and throat
troubles and stomach disorders may
be prevalent during the coming
months. The importance of careful
living is emphasized by the seers.
With the increase of nerve maladies
there will be new and marvellous
methods of treatment. A woman will
make a great discovery, 1t is pre-
dicted.
Again the imperative need of a posi-
tive attitude of mind hat shuts out
dependency n all forms of fear is
emphasized by astrologers.
Persons whose birthdate IL is prob.
ably will have a busy year. They
should meet success in business
affairs.
Children horn on this day are likeb
to be talented me industrious. These
subjects of Libra have the power
of winning great respect.
