WANT NO BOLSHEVISM

TOXIC. Oct. 2s-Rsferring to the
sensitlvsness Of the Japanese authors
ties about the movement Of Suspicious
foreigners" who arrive IN this country
the Jill says that no doubt the authori-
ties are wisely careful to prevent the
influx Of such dangerous ideas as Boil
shevism and socialism, but the result
is that foreigners VINO are very favor
ably inclined toward Japan are not in
frequently subjected to a system Of
Nexatious spying or shadowing.
Inc jill relates that recently an
American whose name Is wen known
IN business and economic circles in
America, while on his way from Nara
saki 70 Toxic, is said to have been sub
1ected TO examination at the hands Of
half a dozen different detectives. The
American, who Is a friend Of Baron
ShibuBawa. In the course Of an inter.
view with him, drew his attention 10
what had occurred during his journey,
and said that such an experiences, II
suffered BY other foreigners, is likely
TO send them away with a Very unfa-
vorable impression Of Japan.
The jill also refers to the case Of
Or. Frederick Starr, professor at The
Chicago University, who is well known
among the japanese by the name Of
'Ofuda Hakase, or Charm Doctor, ow~
ing to the great interest evinced By
him In the collection Of charms from
the Japanese temples. The American
professor recently arrived in Japan. Az
soon as DR.. Starr landed al Yokohama
the local police authorities instructed a
police officer to follow him to Toxic.
Later, when Or. Starr left for a trip
TO Mount Full, the police authorities
supplied, unasked, a. police escort TO
the American visitor, and the officer
accompanied him all the way to the top
OF the mountain. DR.. Starr Is Mt pres-
ent staying at Kozu and his residence,

ENCOURAGE THE BOAT LINES

With a boat line now established between this city and Newark
there ought to be many more such lines operating In all directions
Waterways have always been the natural means OF transportation anu
with the right kind Of development there is no reason why n@gne
should not be shipped by boat as conveniently as by rail and a great
deal more cheaply.
Steamboats, ought to be plying in all directions in these waters
There should be a regular service not only to Newark, Elizabeth and
New York, but there should be service to South Amboy, heyporr
Port Monmouth and Red Bank boats should be operating % South
River and New Brunswick. Trenton, Philadelphia, Wilmington ana
Baltimore re within reach through the use of the Delaware and kar
itn canal.
If study were made Of water transportation hereaoouts tnere ID
reason to believe that boat service would be found entirely practical
The great trouble here is, the railroads were allowed to get con-
troll of the waterways and steamboat lines and instead OF undermining
Transportation by water they did everything they could to discourage
1t in order to drive shippers to the rail route. The result is we do not
begin to derive the advantages of our great system of waterways that
they do In other countries.
When we realize the possibilities of our wonderful harbors ana
our wide, deep rivers capable of carrying commerce far inland, 1t is
a serious reflection on the progress and ability of the American people
these waterways are not used to their fullest advantage.
Instead of having one or two beat lines, Perth Amboy ought to
have a dozen, at least. Our harbor ought to be bustlng with activity.
AS we have frequently remarked before, the future of the city depends
upon the development of its waterfront. Perth Amboy cannot do too
much to encourage boat lines and water transportation.

Fl WAS THE DAYS

We don t know what has become of the neighborhood S worst boy.
Probably they have reformed him out of existence.
But when we were in our youthful prime every community had
one worst boy.
Indeed, we believe there is village tradition to the effect that we
held this role for quite a period, until we met our first love and be-
came godly.
But if there bszs1ybad boys left we re sorry for them.

was a certain latitude given by public understanding, and for the
day we could do openly some of the ornery things we usually did
secretly.
We could paint the pup and BEGAN him.
We could remove the taps from the buggy, wheels
And grease the top steps.
And nut a wet blanket over the school chimney.
And send younger brothers to order vast quantities of staple and
fancy groceries, to be delivered where there was no house.
warm and mellow, with the awakening voices of the wnds that came
to the town back door, calling to the wild in us, we could tick tack
and heave a few rocks at the teachers window, and ring the fire bell,
and entice the constable into a chase down a shady street, with a rope
stretched a foot above the walk.
Not really a mean bone in our bodies, you understand, but just so
full Of all the Viking and pioneer hedtages that to risk something,
and then run was delight undiluted.
We DON t know what the bad boy does April first now. Probably
he goes to a picture show, and then goes home, and brushes his teeth,
dons his nighie, says his prayers, and goes to sleep.
