Going By Default

While it can hardly be said that the Democrats have adjourned
politics for the duration of the war, there is every indication that the
Republicans have. Barely enough interest can be stirred up, appar-
emily, to secure men to file petitions for the primaries With one of
the best opportunities the Republicans have ever had for electing
their candidates, they seem to be letting the election go by default.
Any party that cannot scare up enough interest in a congressional
election to secure a candidate other than one who has been decisively
defeated and who never uttered a word of protest when frauds were
committed in his behalf at a previous election, is pretty far gone. APP
parently, Robert Carson is the only Republican who wants to 90 to
congress in this district, and the leaders were not interested enough
to hunt out other available material. The result is Mr.. Carson walks
away with the nomination, and hundreds of Republicans, not to men
ton the independent voters, are going to vote for Mr.. Sculy.
For state offices the situation is practically the same. Little is
heard of aspirants for the Republican nominations. Can it be that
Republicans feel that their cause is not wOrthNfghtng fort Or have
they taken the President literally and consider that politics is ad-
journedf
Whatever the cause, there is every indication of a Democratic
walkover this fall, although by a little activity and real interest the
Republicans would have an excellent chance of taking everything in
sight.

A C~ommendable More

The movement ON foot in the state militia reserve to start a train
ing class for men included in the draft, whether they belong to the
organization or not, is an excellent one and reflects great credit upon
the leaders. 1t shows a desire to benefit Perth Amboy and assist the
local boys to make good in the federal service.
1t is a well known fact that the training received in the home
guards has been the means of advancing more than one Perth Amboy
youth to a position of trust and responsibility. Not a few of the boys
who have gone away in the draft IF who have enlisted voluntarily
have written home about their rapid rise from the ranks because of
the previous training they have had.
If the local militia reserve is never called upon to render any
other service it will have fully justified its existence and repaid the
city for what money has been spent on it by the service rendered
Perth Amboy boys in their efforts to make good as soldiers.
With the draft about to be extended so as to include all men from
eighteen to forty-fve it is gratifying, indeed, that this preparatory
training for military service has been made available. It is broaden
ing the field of the work Of the local militia that has not been re-
qured of the officers, but is most commendable. 1t is no doubt in
spred by the Perth Amboy spirit of standing by Perth Amboy boys
to the limit and doing everything possible to help them o toward
success.

A Great Day

Our congratulations to Perth Amboy Lodge No. 7s4, Protective
and Benevolent Order of Elks, and particularly to Harold E. Pickers
gill, the newly elected state president of the organization.
The EIks have certainly shown Perth Amboy a big time. And
Perth Amboy has shown the Elks a big time. The parade yesterday
was most imposing and inspiring. 1t was made up of a fine body of
men, handsomely dressed and escorted by the best music in the state
Everything, apparently, went off without a hitch, showing well laid
plans carefully executed. All of which reflects great credit upon the
Perth Amboy lodge which did the entertaining. 1t was an event to
be proud Of and we are sure that the reputation of Perth Amboy has
been greatly enhanced as a result.
But in addition to being host to the state convention, Perth Am
boy is honored by having the state president for the ensuing year
chosen from the local lodge. Perth AmbOy cannot help but be graft
fed; the local lodge may well luxuriate in the outcome and MI. Pick
ersgil has every reason to feel proud of the distinction thrust upon
him.
Altogether, it was a big day for Perth AmbOy, and, what is more
there is every reason to believe we re going to have another day
just like it next year.

Famous Women


NAIAGs IlECNNl.
Just about Ito years & Paris was
ait agog with excitement over a duel
which had been fought In balloons
for tie hand of MadammoiselIe
Tirevit who graced the footlights at
the Imperial Opera in the French
capital. The rivals for her hand were
one NJ. de Grandpre and a NJ. lie
Pique. and they decided that the only
way in which to settle their affair was
to fight a duel. An ordinary duel
wouldn't satisfy them and they finally
hit upon the brilliant idea of fighting
1t out In the air. They ordered two
balloons constructed exactly alike and
at the appointed hour each man en-
tered his balloon armed with q blum
derbuss, n at a signal the ropes
were u and up they went. They
were not to fire at each ether, accord
ing to III arrangements made, but at
the gas bags. At a half a mile In the
air NJ. de Grandpre sent a bali through
M. lie Ptque's balloon, and the latter
was dashed TO pieces. The other
landed In safety several hours later,
his honor intact This duel Is all the
more remarkable in that the arrange
ments were made for IL. and the plans
laid by both men without the slightest
nl-feeling for each other.

THE CHRISTMAS TIME

For the first time in half decade
the world has enjoyed a Christmas
Over the Christmas tide of the
past four years has hung the grim
spectre Of war. and In shadow ever
lurked the gaunt spectre Of famine.
Ii was all so out Of harmony with
the yuletide spirit that We could not
get away from the horror that hung
over the world--we could not for
get, and II we had forgotten It would
have been sad commentary on the
nations that professed to follow Him
whose life was spent and whose life
was given to bring the world the
blessed light of peace on earth. to
men good will
But the world did not forget. Daz-
ed at first by the awful crimes of
war and all its brood of attendant
woes, the world finally analyzed the
meaning of war, America found her
soul and the young giant OF the west
went forth to war, to the end that
wars might last and lasting peace
come to all men and all nations
And peace has come. The rulers
Of the mighty nations are meeting
and while stern justice must be done,
justice Will be tempered with mercy
and the League of Nations. the
dream OF ancients and of moderns
beekons the nations to better day
where the Christ spirit shall rule
forever in the affairs of men and ma
tions.
II this can be accomplished, the
shadows that have been in the world
will vanish and the sacrifice made
in war will not have been in vain.

Observation-Disclosures.

Andrew II. Harnly, lecturer on the
Midland Lyceum Circuit, is a direct
descendant Of Ulrlch Harnly, .who, in
1877, emigrated from the vicinity of
Mt. Hornll (the original spelling Of
the name), Switzerland, and settled In
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, on

Mr.. Harnly was born within few
miles of this homestead, which is still

Of races andsnauonalities of which he

WHITE CHRISTMAS
ASSURES CROPS

A white Christmas is said to as
sure good, crops and good health, so
we are all rejoicing as We shiver at
the advent of a snow storm accom-
panied by more wind than We like to
see.
Flurries OF snow have been drop
ping on us for the past ten days,
but last Friday and Saturday it
started In with good substantial
contribution TO the white curtain
and Monday contributed consider
able more. In places where 1t is not
wanted, it is quite deep, but proba-
bly, the average depth would not be
over six inches.
In any event. the snow is welcome
as a protection for the winter wheat
and the belief is general that 1t beats

not cost as much and 1t helps all, rich

DISCONTINUE GIFT
OF FREE SEED

A recent discriminating editorial
criticises the former policy employed
by some Congressman to secure votes.
The practice referred to is that of
distributing small and worthless
packets of seed to constituents.
THE evils Of the practice are brot
ponitedly to our attention by let
ter recently received from subscrib-
err He says that he received a pack
age of sweet corn from his congress-
man and that so percent OF the re-
sulting stalks were smutty, while his
own corn had only l percent OF smut
while the smut might have come from
other sources 1t may have and quite
likely was carried in the seed.
IT is strange and sad sight to
see congressman pass law year
after year appropriating large sums
of money to distribute worthless
seed. while the department OF agri-
culture is doing everything in its
power to urge the farmers to plant
only seed which is grown under their
own conditions.
I'VE would suggest that when the
free seed bill comes up for consider
alton that congress Immediately kill
1t. II it must be spent for seed,
then turn 1t over to the department
OF agriculture for use where need

"The war is not over as effects the

there Is disaster ahead for the world.

exactly as we we're before.
III we are to inete just punishment

lasted six months longer. Then It
would have wiped the selfishness. the
