BATHING BEACHES AND PARKS

Once more the people from all sections Of the city flock
to the shore with every high tide to battle. 1T is the old story
of a little strip of beach under private control being the only
accommodation for the city's large population.
Public bathing beaches, recreation centers and parks are
the greatest need for Perth Arnboy at the present time PLAIN
field is about to spend $500, 600 for a three acre tract for a
park in that city. The Newark Star-Eagle in describing 'he
enjoyment the people of New ark get out of their parks re-
fers particularly to Washington park in the heart OF the DuSl-
ness section as follows:
Hundreds of persons will be seen---unless
there is some spectacular attraction to draw them
away---resting in the shade of the many trees that
grace the spot. Some are reading newspapers; oth
ers are playing with children or conversing, or nap
ping. Not a Keep off the grass sign disturbs. NOT
a restriction, except those of common sense and de-
cency, is attached to the enjoyment OF the place
on the evening, when brick apartments and
tenements give up their stored heat, Washington
park is even more enjoyable. 1t provides a place
where tired city jewellers may rest in a verdant
front yard as fine as any millionaires. Should q late-
prowling trolley disturb ones slumbers Tor a mo-
ment the eyes open to the sight of George WASH
ington, the immortal, standing watch over the
parks liberties"
Perth Amboy must have parks. There must be a water
front development to include a public bathing beach. There
must be breathing spaces in the thickly populated section of
the city such as Newark has. Now is the time to locate these
places before the valuations increase and expensive buildings
are erected on the most desirable sites.
Where are the desirable sites?
A city plan, carefully prepared by an expert municipal
engineer will find that out. Without such a plan everybody
will have a different opinion and while each one tries to per-
suade the others to his way Of thinking the time passes and
the opportunities are lost. Besides, should parks be laid out
without a definite city plan, it might be found in after years
that the most desirable spots for such breathing places has
been overlooked.
Parks and bathing beaches are the need of the hour and
the steps now being taken toward purchasing the gas works
property on the river front is a big step in the right direction.
But before the actual development begins there should be a
comprehensive city plan in order that there may be no mis-
lake. ~efs

THE CASE OF FATHER GROSS

We publish in another column today a letter from Rev.
Dr.. w. P. Cantwell, pastor of st. Marys Roman Catholic
church, in which we are taken to task for the articles tha'
have appeared n the EVENING NEWS concerning Rev. Fran
es Gross pastor of the Hungarian Roman Catholic church
of Our Lady of Hungary. We regret having the matter OF re-
ligion drawn into the case. 1t has been our endeavor, as lar
as possible, to leave that out of consideration entirely. Any
Thing in the way of a religious controversy is greatly to be de-
plored.
Father Gross, when arraigned before the bar of justice
nm q charge of melting people to riot stands there on the same
Roofing with any ordinary citizen who may be accused OF vlo-
lutine the law. 1t would be we'll if, during the trial, the fact
hat he is a clergyman could be forgotten entirely.
Did Father Gross, or did he not incite a group of citizens
10 riot? The question is so serious, especially as the priest
stil retains his position of influence, that the public is justi-
bed in desiring a definite decision.
AS for the charge pending in the federal court, 1t is a
question of whether Father Gross was sincere when he re-
nounced allegiance to the crown of Austria Hungary ana pro-
fessed loyalty to the government of the United States. This
doubt in the case of a man possessing power and inh renee IN
. community, especially such a community as this, should be
removed.
The question of vocation does not enter into the matter
bit all. The fact that a man is pastor of a large Hungarian
church may make him influential. But a man can be influen-
tial and still not be useful as far as the community is con-
cerned.
If religious influence has had or is likely to have any eff
feet whatever in this case til more likely to favor the accused
rather than operate against him as there is a certain Difference
toward a clergyman because of the sacredness of his calling
that is very generally recognized.
1t was only after the most careful investigation and with
what was believed to be the strongest kind of evidence that
the indictments were found against Father Gross, the fact that
HE s q priest no doubt causing more hesitation on the part
of the authorities than would have been the case were he a
man in any other calling. And the fact that the indictments
rwere actually returned, even though it is a priest who is
Involved, only emphasizes the seriousness of the charges.
Nothing short of a complete yindication or a conviction in both
the cases pending will satisfy the public today. BY all means
leave the matter to the courts, but the people expect the courts
TO function in every instance. In these days of Americanism
there must be no doubt as to where a man stands on such an
Issue.

Walt Mason's Ripping Rhymes
THE KNOCKING WIFE

A wife's not worth the sock she's knitting. she lacks all dignity
and charm, who goes around the town admitting her husband is a
false alarm. But yesterday L heard a lady complaining of her we'd
dd state: she sat beneath a n elm tree shady, n rallied and
grumbled at her fate. She said, ALIAS, when 1 was married 1 left
my mascot in the Iurch; 1 picked a lemon when l carried my veil
and bridal wreath to church. 1 cuss my luck Kin Greek and Latin;
1 might have had a better man, who would have bought m silk and
satin, equipped m e with a fine sedan. But L was young and Fate
ws yellow. I'd only lived through eighteen Junes; and so L gathered
in a fellow who barely earns enough for prunes" She grumbles a $
she does her hemminI, she grouches as she kicks the cat; it was
the husband drew the lemon-her line of talk is proof of that The
wife who's worth the rags she's wearing won't call her hub IN also
a though he is punk, she still is swearing she harvested the finest
man. He may be trihing as a poet, a $ worthless a s a can of soup;
but she won't let the neighbors know it, won't let the news leak from
her coop. She may pull out his whiskers hoary, and press hot flat
irons on his head; but ere shed tell her friends the story, she'd see
herself among the dead.
