BILE for 1t. Some thing has been done
in the town that resulted in better
protection of the rights of the
country people and everybody is
pleased.
A Lesson From
The War
When people stand looking at pro-
jects that might be undertaken or
executed, they are apt to have feel
ing of indifference and a dread of
taking hold, but once the job Is
undertaken that indifference changes
to interest, satisfaction and APP
prevail. During the war We had a
demonstration Of this. Men whom
we did not speak to and were not
friendly with; men we cordially
hated, went across and stood be-
tween us and the Huns and in every
Liberty loan drive and every other
war drive, the average man put up
his share and did it gladly, hoping
it might help the particular man he
had previously disliked.
Unity for Better
Service p
If the physicians of the town
hesitate about joining together in
the enterprise we mention, we ask
them to take notice of this trait of
human nature that makes men work
with added interest and added sat
isfaction under just such ,circum-
stances and conditions that they are
confronted with. We want every
doctor in Blackfoot to have an office
that bespeaks high class and excel
lence, with every facility for fine ser
vice. We believe we voice the senti-
ment of every responsible citizen in
saying that all they have to do is to
present their plans, show that they
are putting their own money and
their own credit into it and all will
be ready to sign up and put in our
share.
A Time to
Forget ..
In considering an undertaking like
this it is no time to remember dis
likes and old differences. 1t is
proper time to act upon the old
adage; "To err is human, to forgive
divine"
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-12-26

He saw the foreign roads - in England and
France, the best in Europe and in other Con-

The part railroads have played in the develop

American railroads have achieved high stand

We have the best railroads in the world we

But they must grow.
To the $780, OOO, 100000 now invested in our

billions more for additional tracks, stations and

and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the

OF learning

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
While reading Of your -Vaaua-
BILE papers the other night / read
where the city wants ia put up some
thing for remembrance of the boys
that were in service. That is all well
and good, but what right has the
Welcome Home Committee got to put
our money into such an affair? The
money was given to them for when
the boys returned and rs they still
have q pretty fair amount of 1t left 1t
looks as if it took them three months
to decide the best way that they
themselves could get some graft out
of it Now, 1 think we should get u
share this week at the latest, as they
have all the names and know just how
much money they have got n as far
as erecting something to remember
the boys, that will never return, the
city IS large enough to contribute for
a monument to be erected at City Hall
Park, where one belongs AS for the
American Legion, why not give them
a tag day In the city sc they a put
up a building and call 1t their own
and for members only. AS far as a
park goes / think there Is a lot OF
graft behind it, as a man can not get
arrested for thinking.
l hope that the Welcome Home
Committee reads these few lines and
decides which is best at the shortest
possible day. If they think we are
not entitled to more than the boys
that were home for the celebration,
all we'll and good, but / think we are,
as most of us enlisted at our
try's call in the early part Of 1917
and were put through the hardest of
battles, and then sent the watch on
the Rhine for eight to ten months
longer. The ones bmean are the list.
End. 3rd and 4th Divisions and some
of the boys who worked on h rail-
roads that took us from the Rhine
to France. If the people think 1t was

the boys hal were up there. The old
saying on the Rhine was: twas Is

Ripping Rhymes
BY W. II MASON

All the world Is shot to pieces,
men are roaring, days and nights,
for a lot of boons and bulwarks,
and some fifty kinds of rights:
capital is swatting labor labors
roundly hitting back. and our mills
are standing idle, and our urolns
have jumped the track. All tho
struggling, fighting forces seem to
glory in the wreck. while the Ultl-
mate Consumer gets the cleaver in
the neck. Oh, the Ultimate Con-
sumner In the scrap has little part;
he'd be happy just to labor in the
office of the mart, and to feed his
wife and Riddles, and to buy the
rags they need, and provide against
the future when he's old and gone
to seed: but alas, the bricks are
flying, and the scrappers are on
| deck, and the Ultimate Consumer
gets the dornicks in the neck. And
the Ultimate Consumer has a sad
and weary lot, for he's always
bound to suffer, whether others do
or not; others do the frantic talk
ing of their grievances and ills,
while the Ultimate Consumer goes
ahead and pays the bills: it's a
time of sound and fury and the
madness knows no check, and the
Ultimate Consumer gets the hatch
ct in the neck.

HARBoR

While Perth Amboy and the inter-
ests conferred in this vicinity are doing
practically nothing toward securing a
deeper channel UP the bay from Sandy
Hook and otherwise endeavoring to
develop our excellent harbor, the
cities interested in Newark bay are
going ahead in the improvement OF
that locality. Through the efforts of
Newark city officials a delegation of
senator's and congressman will visit
Newark for q tour of inspection on
the bay shortly and Newark interests
are busy at Washington in al effort
70 secure the necessary legislation for
the deepening OF Newark bay.
OF course, there is no comparison
between Newark bay and Raritan bay.
Here we are within twenty miles of
Sandy Hook with a broad approach
that needs Blu the removal of a few
shallow spots to make a t~hirty-fve
foot channel all the way to Perth
Amboy. Our approach is even better
than the approach to New York, while
Newark bay is nothing more than a
shallow pond in comparison.
But such as 1t IS, Newark is de-
fermined 10 make the most of it. The
municipality has already spent several
million dollars in developing a great
terminal and plans are under way to
spend still more. Naturally. when a
pity has such confidence in her water
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-12-12

front development congress is in
cllned to render assistance. Congress
will not do all the work.
1t will be remembered when the
federal government was about to de-
velop the Raritan river, Perth Amboy
was asked what the city was going to
do in the way OF waterfront improve
ment.
II Perth Amboy would spend a half
million dollars on the property the
city owns along the river there is no
doubt congress would listen to our re-
quest for channel improvement. once
the shippers knew that there were
facilities here and a channel deep
enough to bring their boats mp 20 the
wharves. our harbor would develop
quickly enough. We would leave
Newark with her shallow hay and mar
row river far in the e as far as s
port is concerned.
But unless we = 70 see Newark
far outstrip us, Just as New Nork len
us far behind In the early days We
must bestir ourselves in waterfront
development
Perth Amboy Will never be able to
make the most OF her advantages un-
Ill she takes hold OF her hsrbor de
.velopmeut In real earnest.

SIZE OF POLICE FORCE.


The man who voted in favor Of a
raise IN pay for the policemen. but
who wrote on his ballot to have less
men. had his ballot thrown out by
Justice Bergen, but he doubtless ex-
pressed the sentiment Of a great many
OF his fellow citizens. Perhaps It
might be more popular to say that the
people favor a raise in nay, but dc
not favor adding any more men TO
the present force.
For instance. there Is quite a con-
trast between Perth Amboy and New
Brunswick in matter Of traffic officers.
New Brunswick streets are narrower
and. If anything. more eongested than
Perth Amboy streets. yet 1t Is rarely
that a traffic officer is seen at all in
New Brunswick. Even the busy cor
ner at Albany and George streets
where there are double track trolleys
crossing at right angles with switches
turning In four directions. a situa-
liOu bitdab - biih " pS hpL hupiiNdLCu
ct any corner In the United States,
there is often no traffic officer on duty
at least he is not where he can be
seen. Passing down George street
with many narrow streets crossing 1t
at frequent intervals, not a traffic po-
liceman is to be seen. Neither have
-LAt-.1 ~..-F1- -.1{ao-,o,, ~
mounted officers on the main automo-
bile highways in that city.
In Perth Amboy, on the other hand,
we find traffic Officers everywhere.
There is one at State and Smith
streets. one at Smith street and Mad
ison avenue and another at Smith and
Prospect streets. Their there Is an
other traffic cop at State and Fayette
streets and still another at Washing
ton street and Amboy emu Be-
sides these, there are two policemen
on motorcycles who are always in
evidence on Market street or Amboy
avenue, the main automobile high

officer doing duty on the outskirts Of
the city. All of these policemen, with
the possible exception of the mounted
man, are solely for the regulation of
traffic through the city. The condi-
tion here Is just the opposite to what
ii Is in New Brunswick. One or the
-41.o, osAr, &c -yrnnn pnrhan5 both
arc.
While New Brunswick does not have
enough officers on duty to properly
regulate traffic. is it not possible that
Perth Amboy is overriding the mat
ter? New Brunswick might profit by
having a little more regulation and
Perth Amboy by having a little less,
II Perth Amboy's police force Is not
adequate to cover the territory under
present regulations possibly a few of
the traffic men might be put on pa
troll duty,
We have no desire to say how the
police department should be rum. 1t
Is suffering because of too many
bosses already, but with the report
that the mayor is about to appoint
ten or twelve more men to the force,
we speak in the interest of the tax
PAYERS who have to foot the bill.
With the possibility of the city bud
get next year being over $1,000, 900 it
Is plain that n economies that a
be brought about through a rear
rangement of present forces so as to
render more efficient service ought to
be adopted. 1t would seem that some
thing might be- done IN this direction
IN the police department.
