Public Opinion
Aviation Field.

Editor Evening News:
About a e ago / wrot an ar
ticle which | never sent in, but as |
saw a few lines in your paper some
time ago on the same matter l de-
cided TO send you my suggestion in
i regard to an aviation field in Perth
Amboy.
L am thinking especially OF the
Haritan Copperworks field which now
is lying as a waste. Why not try
and get the permission for grading 1t
and fixing it up? Why o have that
field put in good shape to be of some
value to mankind, and especially to
the aviator and his aeroplane.
In case of engine trouble or for any
other cause he ma be able to vol
plane down and make a safe landing
with a chance of safety for his life
and without injury to his aeroplane.
Besides, who knows. some day in the
near future Perth Amboy may want
to engage an aviator for performances
at celebrations, then the field would
be ready. Or. perhaps a mailroute
with stops in Perth Amboy could be
started. or an Aviation School may
be established here some day Why
not then be prepared for those things
and have a place for ascension and
d~oscension in readiness? / think it
would be a small matter to obtain
permission from the Copperworks Of
ficials, to have it graded and stones re-
moved and make it a place of safety
for any aviator who flies over this city.
and who in cast of an emergency such
as d heavy storm. can have a place
10 land in safety instead of landing
on houses, telegraph wires. trees DIT on
some OF the streets and make quite
some damage both to himself and
other people. With a little energy
On the part of the citizens IL could
easily be completed Why not set the
pace and be one OF the first cities to
think q little ahead in regard TO ayia-
tom In fact every city should b.
law set apart a certain tract of and
for aviation emergency. n / believe
il will come some day. Why not the
start now and lay plans for the near
future7
With the permission gained for
grading and use OF the field for avia-
ton purposes. il should no be or
such a great Isl TO the city to put
the field in A No. 1 condition, especi-
ally If there are enough men with the
right spirit for improvement N who
are willing to spend u day or I'VE OF
work or vacation to Pat il In good
shape. Why not let the city fathers
put up an Aviation Field Campaign
for volunteers. Enough volunteers,
5000 If necessary 10 put in enough
time to get it in shape. Let US see
IL there is enough spirit in the citi-
| gems of Perth Amboy to put this sug-
| gestion through, and we will soon
have an aviation emergency field. in
| stead of an eyesore as II Is now. at

HIGH LIFE IN JAIL

The story OF the high life in the county Jail and workhouse makes
ore wish for the revival of the old chain gang, as barbaric as that form
Of punishment appears to be. 1t is significant that only recently the
state Of Delaware refused to abolish the whipping post so that men
who are found guilty of beating their wives may be given a taste of
their own medicine. The whipping post is supposed to be a survival
Of past ages, but it looks rs if they had some things in the way of cor
poral punishment in the olden times that were not altogether bad.
If the "drunks" and buns knew that sixty days IN the county
Norkhouse really meant work; that they were to be put on the county
roads making repairs with a ball and chain about their ankle they
would not look forward to serving their sentence with so much pleas
ue. The least that can be done is to set them to work on "a farm or to
cracking stone. The present method of treating them is too much like
a vacation de lux at the expense of The taxpayers.

PENSION BILL

There are so many good features in the Pierson teachers pension
bill that it ought to be passed in spite of what minor objections may
be raised TO il. At least it is a big improvement over the present
method Of pensioning teachers in that it is known to be financially
sound. The bin is the result of two years investigation and study. 1t
has had the advantage of expert advice and suggestion. Everyone
admits it has some merit, but there are many who would have this or
that feature changed.
Naturally, & is impossible to suit everybody. 1t was to be ex-
pected that there would be opposition from some of the teachers. There
are many who would still like to be able to retire and draw more pay
than when they were working. But such a thing is unsound regard
less of the fairness of the principle. This teachers pension matter
has been hanging fire for a long time. Now is the time to put it on a
firm foundation.

SENATOR EDWARDS SCORES

Whether Senator Edwards is making his attack on the plan to
establish a pre- primary convention of the political parties for partisan
purposes or not, he scores heavily in the position he has taken.
The people of New Jersey want no backward step in the method
of conducting elections, The political bosses are at their wits end to
figure out how to retain their control of party affairs. They are slip
ping fast and unless they can do something to restore their prestige
they are doomed.
In one final desperate effort they have caused to be introduced
IN the legislature this year bills that will not only restore the old con-
venton system, so easily manipulated by the ''big interests through
the bosses, but viii also pull the teeth of the corrupt practices at and
make possible the dtime slush funds through which elections gener-
ally went the way the big corporations wanted them to 60. Senator
Edwards is certainly making the most of his opportunity.

WILSON SAYS "klL DOUBT RE
MOVED BY STATEMENT"
VlSCOUkT UChlDA TELLS IA
PANS PLANS REGARDING
PENINSULA.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Aug. IL President
Wilson has issued u formal statement
saying that the frank statement
made by yiscount Cchida, as to ia
pans policy regarding S%hantung,
fought to serve to remove many OF
the misunderstanding which had be-
gun to accumulate about this cues
ton
The Presidents statement, made
public through the State Department,
follows:
THE government of the United
States has noted with the greatest In
terest the frank statement made by
viscOunt Uchida with regard to ia
pans future policy respecting Shan
tung. The statement ought TO serve
10 remove many OF the misunderstood
ings which had begun TO accumulate
about this question. But there are
references in the statement to an
agreement entered into between ia
pan and China IN 1918 which might
be misleading, IL not commented upon
In the light OF what occurred in Paris
when the clauses OF the treaty affect
Ing Shantung were under discussion.
/, therefore, take the liberty Of sup
plementing Viscount Uchida's state
ment with the following
I'm the conference Of thirtieth of
April last, where this matter was
brought to the principal allied and as
ISOLATED powers, the japanese dele
gates, Baron Maxine and Viscount
Chinda, in reply to a question put by
myself, declared that:
1.-The policy Of japan is 10 hand
back the Shantung peninsula In full
sovereignty TO China, retaining only
the economic privileges granted to
Germany, and The right to establish
a settlement under the usual condi-
lions at Tsing-Tao. The owners of the
railway will use special police only TO
insure security for traffic. They will
he used for no other purpose.
The police forces, which will be
composed Of Chinese and such Jap
anese instructors as the directors OF
the railroad may select, will be mp
pointed by the Chinese government
NO reference was made to this
policy being in any way dependent
upon the execution Of the agreement
of 1913 TO which Count Uchida APP
pears TO have referred. Indeed, ! felt
IL my duty to say that nothing that |
agreed TO must be construed as an
acquiescence on the part of the gov
eminent of the United States in the
policy of the notes exchanged be-
tween China and Japan in 1915 and
1918: and reference was made in the
discussion to the enforcement of the
agreements of 1918 and 1918 only in
case China failed to cooperate fully In
the carrying out the policy outlined In
the statement of Baron Maxine and
Niscount Chinda.
Il have, of course, no doubt that
viscount Uchida had been %apprised of
all the particulars Of the discussion
in Paris and | am not making this
statement with the idea of correcting
his, but only to throw a fuller light
of Qualification upon a situation which
ought to be relieved of every shadow
of obscurity or misapprehension."

Rumanjan Army Retiring.

Berlin.-The retirement from Buda-

pressure from the entente, will be a
sullen withdrawal, boding no good for

keep order after the Rumanians leave.
This army will consist of six divisions.
The Rumanians are known to be dis
gruntled and angry at the Hungarians,
