AN INCUBATOR CANDIDATE

Newton A. X. Bugbee, one of the candidates for the Repub-
ican nomination for governor, has accepted as his personal platform
the declaration of principles made at former Governor Stokes's
'personaIy conducted" convention of Republican clubs last Satur-
day. Mr.. Bugbee doubtless thinks that he has put over something
very clever in doing this and that he has the inside track in the
race for the nomination.
But instead Of being clever it only tends to make Mr.. Bugbee
a rubber stamp candidate. 1t gives the public the impression that
he has no ideas of his own. The inference is that had the per
sonally drawn platform adopted at the personally conducted
Mr.. Bugbee would have soemnly declared "them's my sem
timents."
Mr.. Bugbee, by swallowing in one gulp the platform of the con-
yention aforementioned, at once becomes a machinemade candidate,
apparently without ideas of his own and having but one ambition
which is to get into office on anything that looks as if it might COM
mand the most votes.
Some kind friend - not of the old-school variety ought to
Quietly inform Mr.. Bugbee that such methods are not popular any
more. Voters, today, like to size up a man for what he is worth;
they want to see him stand on his own feet and give some indca-
ton that he has a mind of his own.
rank and file. His candidacy had been fully prepared before hand.
The temperature was kept exactly right and every precautlon
was taken to assure a successful Matching. When announcement
finally game there was nothing lacking to impress it upon the peo-
pie and the candidacy has been carefully nurtured and pushed along
ever since. Now comes the adoption of the personally drawn
platform of the personally conducted convention. Truly, 1t looks
as if the Republican bosses would hand Mr.. Bugbee the election on
a silver platter if they could.

BOOSTING THE CANAL PROJECT

Through the organization of "booster clubs throughout the
section of New Jersey to be most benefited by the Translate ship
canal and the signing of petitions in favor of the waterway, there
ought to be made upon congress such an impression as will assure
prompt action in the matter. This is one of the important develop
nents that mean so much for Perth Amboy. 1t is something that
the city ought to be planning for now while the agitation is on for
federaln9a for the consummation of the project.
There is little doubt that the canal will be built. The federal
government now realizes what has been apparent to the hackers OF
the project when the great problems of reconstruction after the war
are pressing.
But the time for Perth Amboy to put herself in condition to
derive the benefit from the enterprise is before the canal is ready
for operation, then, when it is finally put in use, Perth Amboy, be-
ing all ready, will be the natural place for the terminals where YES
sells from all sections along the coast as well as from foreign parts
will come with their cargoes.
Being thus a center for commercial activity, industry will nat
urally be attracted and the port will take its rightful place among
She leaders along the Atlantic coast.
All this means that while the booster clubs are getting in
their fine work and the petitions are being signed, Perth Amboy
should have experts at work on a comprehensive city plan in order
that a foundation may be laid and something definite accomplished
along progressive lines. We will never get anywhere by continuing
to talk about the matter. The time for action has arrived and every
week that now passes without seeing something accomplished for
the future development of the city along definite lines lessons Perth
Amboys opportunity to be ready when the time comes, as 1T surely
will.

GERMAN TREACHERY

Germany's sulen attitude in connection with the signing of the
treaty of peace is only another indication of what the allied nations
must contend with in years to come to prevent a repetition of the
horror through which the world has just passed. 1t is more and
the German arms at the time Marshal Foch was chasing the enemy
toward the Rhine should have been accepted. There is reason to
believe that a few days more would have achieved this positive
victory and the Germans would have known for a certainty that
they had been licked to a FRAGILE.
As it is now, they continue to heap insult upon injury and
carry on Their negotiations with an insolenee that is well nigh in
tolerable.
There is not a shadow If a doubt in the minds of a great many
that the kaiser, who is quietly saving wood in his retreat in Holland
to which he ANONYMOUSLY fled upon the signing of the armistlce,
is only waiting for things to quiet down a little before he returns
to Berlin where, no doubt, he would be received with loud acclaim.
Having already had experiences with German underhanded-
ness and treaeherous diplomacy with her secret intrigues and spy
system against friendly nations, it can be taken for granted that
secretly she viii be planning to attempt all over again what she has
just failed to accomplish. The sinking of the German ships
and the burning of the allied flags that she was to have returned
under the terms of the peace treaty are merely indications of the
spirit of the nation.
President Wilson announced long before the war closed that
the word of the ruling house of Germany could not be taken after
the violation of Belgium and that any peace would have to be nego-
tiated by real representatives of the German people. A pretense is
now being made that real representatives of the people are carrying
on the negotiations, but it looks more and more as if the whole ma
ton was Enthusiastically and would have to be watched for a long
time in order that civilization might not be outraged again

couch ne oes if he can't draw some hours of calm repose, If mid
night hours but fret him and exhaust, his lfe is vain, his world a
killing FROST. He may have fame in both the hemispheres; adm1ring

across the street when he to Prunevine turns his pincey feet. but
all his honors tawdry are and cheap, if night hours come and he
can't e to sleep. He may have wealth heaped up and heaped again,
his bin and cribs may groan with iron men; he may have yachts
and stately parks and grounds and hunting steeds o n which to ride
to hounds, but such possessions have no worth or charm, life is a
failure and a false alarm, If sleep won't com when he retires to bed.
while hours drag o n with weary feet of lead. While 1 sleep l

statesman great revel in his fame, all shining marks play
their lusrous game; 1 sleep the night through like a little man, and
