MONKEYING WITH BUZZ SAW

Republicans in the United States senate are making a big mistake
in trying to embarrass President Wilson at the peace conference IN
France. 1t is developing more and more that the old time European
diplomacy is cropping out among the delegates from the different
allied nations and there is a growing tendency to present claims that
will lead to bargaining with one another in the same old way. We
all know that a permanent peace can never be secured IN such a man
nr. The United States entered the war without any old scores to
wipe out or territory to gain. This country entered the war largely
to rid the world of militarism so that democracy might be safe. But
if the delegates from the United States stand practically alone In this
respect it is plain that if they are to accomplish anything they must
be headed by a man capable of commanding the utmost attention ana
enc who will weld the greatest influence.
The delegates from the United States, even though headed by no
less a person than the Secretary of State, would be merely one set of
delegates among a great many, and, alone, would be lost In the
shuttle. But with the commanding personality of President Wilson
at the head of the delegation world wide attention is at once drawn to
the Americans. The ideals for which America fought are bound to
have a respectful hearing and, realizing the wonderful popularity of
President Wilson among the masses of Europe, his power is going to
be felt in a way that will gain prestige among the heads of all the
European nations.
The leaders of Europe fully realize the great unrest that exists
among the people and they also know that the people have the utmost
confidence in President Wilson to whom the millions of oppressed
look for deiverance and protection. The mere fact of the President
being on the ground, therefore, places the cause of democracy in the
very forefront and the league of nations to assure peace becomes
something more than a mere dream.
Because of this situation, therefore, it behooves the people here
at home to cease their criticism and back the President in the great
fight he has before him in cinching the great principle that our sol
diers fought for. Especially should the members of congress, regard
less of which House they may be "a member, refrain from all talk and
action that will. in any way hamper Americas cause at the peace
table.
We are not looking for any territory; we have no lost provinces
to regain we are merely looking toward the time when there will be
no more wars. President Wilson is the great champion of this prin-
pic and the American nation should stand behind him to a man.
Senator Knox, by pressing his resolution limiting the Presidents
powers is monkeying with a buzz saw. While President Wilson has
been severely criticized with more or less reason, there is no doubt
that the people have the greatest confidence in their President. He is
trusted by them and thus far he has not abused that confidence.

THE EARLY BIRD

BY getting his petition for the Republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton in circulation early, Newton A. X. Bugbee evidently is taking
his cue from Governor Edge when he entered the race for the govern
orship. Governor Edge, it will be remembered, started to tour the
state in behalf of his candidacy months before the primaries and by a
systematic canvass, getting himself before the people in one way or
another, he had the nomination practically cinched before Col. Austen
Colgate had actually decided to run.
Mr.. Bugbee needs all the publicity he can get. He is not very
well known to the people of the state. AS chairman of the State Re
publican Committee he is prominent among politicians, but that is not
sufficient these days when the people, through the direct primary,
choose their own candidates.
One advantage to be gained by throwing ones hat into the ring
this early in the game is the attention one attracts. 1t focuses atten-
tion upon the candidate and axes him the oe with whom all other
candidates are compared as they: one by one, enter the contest.
Everybody who has had any dealings with Mr.. Bugbee speak
highly of him. If he can bear out this reputation as he gets more and
more into the limeHght his chances for the nomination will be bright.

Famous Women


Deborah Sampson was the first
American woman to win fame as a SOL
der. She was born in Plymouth,
Mass, 1853 years ago. Fired by pat
riotism, she dressed in mems clothes
and entered the Continental Army I'M
der the name of Robert Shurtleff, and
took part in several battles. She was
a seasoned soldier before Molly Pitch
er gained fame by serving the gun of
her slain husband in the battle of
Monmouth. Deborah served three
years and was wounded several times
before her sex was discovered during
a campaign in the vicinity of York.
town. 1t was in the Philadelphia Hos
pital that her ruse was discovered,
and upon her discharge she was sum-
moned before General Washington.
He praised her for her bravery and
gave her an honorable discharge and
presented her with a purse of money
After h war congress voted her q
grant of land and a pension. She died
in 1927.

LET THE CEMETERY DESERVE 1T

Before the Alpine Cemetery Association can expect any consid-
Grafton from the city as to a memorial o II any other honor of distnc-
ton, it has got to show itself worthy Of such attention. The condi-
lion in which the cemetery is kept is a constant disgrace to the city
and a modification to those who must bury their dead there. There
are some portions of the cemetery that look like a common dump.
Lot owners who desire to keep their plots In some preSentable
shape find their efforts useless because of the horrible surroundings.
Adjoining lots are filed with poison ivy, weeds and uderbrush;
paths overgrown with grass and blocked with rubbish; piles of brick
bats and broken benches are found in immediate proximity. Every
thing is unkept and fororn. We doubt if there is a worse looking
cemetery in the state. Any country town has a more attractive place
for burying the dead than Perth Amboy has. While cities vie with
one another in making their cemeteries veriable parks, making them
a thing of beauty and a pleasure to visit, Alpine cemetery remains q
nightmare.
The EVENING NEWS would suggest to the cemetery association
that it make the cemetery itself a memorial to the heroes of this and
other wars that may be buried there, by fixing up the place and main
tanning it so that persons who bury their dead there will not have to
appearance of the place.

but the supply had been exhausted.
There did not remain In France q
single family that was not In anxiety
or in mourning" There was wild
alarm and unrest in Paris, and while
the deputies were debating the mob
outside cried for peace and bread.
The Corps Legislatif heard their
monarch without n manifestations
of enthusiasm. Their first act was to
demand the restoration of rights of
which Napoleon had deprived them.
The report of the committee on the
Frankfort proposals of peace, recon-
mending the termination of the war on
almost any basis, drove Napoleon to a
wild frenzy.
In dissolving the Corps Legislatif at
the end of the month. the emperor did
not mince words. His anger was pa
thetic.
II stood in need of something to
console me-" almost sobbed the man
who. but a few years before, had
posed as a demi-god, land you have
sought to dishonor me. / was expect
ing you to unite in mind and deed to
drive out the foreigner, and you have
babe him ONE Had / lost two bat
ties. 1t would not have done France
n greater evil"
How can you blame me for my
misfortunes?" he pleaded. 'Is it by
reproaches hat you hope to restore
the glory of the throne? What Is a
throne? Four pieces OF wood covered
with a piece of velvet; everything de-
ponds upon him whose seat it is"
Thus Napoleon's sublime egotism re-
asserted itself. II have a title and you
have hone. You are only deputies of
the departments. I am beyond reach
of your declarations. In three months
we shall have peace. or 1 shall be
dead. Our enemies have never con-
quered us, nor will they now"
A brave prediction. but within three
months peace was not achieved, nor
was Napoleon dead. Paris was on the
verge of surrender to the allies, and
Napoleon was soon forced to accept
terms that left him. not the master Of
an empire, not even the ruler of
France. but the petty monarch of the
little island of Elba.

Why is 1t hat a man would rather
point the finger of scorn than extend
the glad hand?
Once upon a time a man married a
woman who was ten years older than
he was. And before they had been
married q year she was ten years
younger than he was.
And we knew a man who was so
superstitious hat he would rather
work for s12 q week than for $13 a
week.
A Young Thing knows that she
could be q Great Help II h could put
on a Red Cross uniform and go out
into the world. But she never thinks
of putting on an apron and going into
the kitchen to help Mother with the
dishes.
Lots of men are hard of hearing.
But no man Is really deaf until he
can not longer hear a noise like a
skirt.
Another strange thing is how a
good woman usually insists on marry
ing a man who isn't.
1t is pretty soft for q doctor. When
he calls on a woman patient he can
jam a thermometer into her mouth
and make her quit talking.
Few men like cats. A man never
steps on q dog when he is sneaking
through the front hall at 2 a. m.
A girl is usually smart enough to
make her Ideal Man conform to the
general plan and specifications OF the
mutt who wants to marry her.
A burnt child breads the fire. But
most married men would gladly mar
ry again If their wives would only
give them a chance.
Many a man has to wear a hat that
his wife selects for him. But you can
imagine a woman wearing q hat that
her husband selects for her, can't
