FOR HOME PROBLEMS

President Wilson's common sense
message to congress read yesterday
ought to have tho desired effect on
the legislative branch OF the federal
government in bringing the members
to q realization of the pressing needs
Of legislation to meet the domestic
problems now before tho country.
1t is to be regretted that the peace
treaty could not have been got out of
the way before the present regular
session began so hat the decks might
be all clear for action on home af-
fairs. But even with the handicap of
still being technically at war with
Germany and thereby causing dis
ruptlon and confusion in our foreign
commerce., unbalancing trade and
otherwise interfering with the reGu-
lar order of things, there is much
that congress can do toward setting
our own house in order and it is to
be hoped that 1t will accept the
Presidents advice and get busy.
OF course, the fact that 1t Is
President Wilson who has recon-
mended these things will cause the
Wilson haters in both houses of con-
gress to oppose such legislation. They
take their cue of what not to do by
whatever President Wilson suggests
should be done. no matter how near
right the President may be.
However, it hardly seems possible
that congress can ignore existing
conditions at home much longer. The
awful burden of war taxation extend
ing for over a year after hostilities
have ceased, the unrest n the need
of developing our natural resources
all are pressing for solution. Con-
gress alone can offer relief.
A careful reading of the Presi-
dents message brings home the need
of prompt action and congress, hav-
ing frittered away its whole time
during the extra session that closed
only a week or two ago., will have TO
work hard to make a record for it
self during the present session if Il
desires to regain the confidence of
the people.

Alderman Clark could endure the
Intellectual atmosphere of a library
long enough he could, upon slight in
v~estigatlon, ascertain Just what the
library board has been doing with
the limited funds at its disposal dur
ing the past year. The alderman
might learn a great deal in spite OF
himself.
But, Of course. it is not to be OK
pccted that the Fifth Ward repre-
sentative would be found guilty of
crossing the threshold OF an institu-
ton that stands for such on1ighten-
mcnt as a library. ITo might he &C
cuscd Of becoming boollish and then
he could no longer champion the
cause Of the ignorant and the down
trodden.
Sun, as other thresholds that are
tho direct antlthcsis of those leading
to the higher and nobler things Of
life are rapidly becoming fewor these
days, there is a chance that i%nstitu-
TONS such as the public library may
yet appeal to those who arc unable
TO appreciate It at the present time.
Meanwhile. It Is pleasing to know
that Perth Amboy has a Board Of
Aldermen u majority OF whom are
sufficiently intelligent to understand
what the library means to the city
and who readily grant the necessary
funds to enable the library to con
tinue 10 fulfil It's function. There is
no better way in which the city can
spend It's money than for increasing
the knowledge and spreading en-
lightenment among its people.
The library today, more than ever
before, IS carrying on a great work
which IS appreciated by the great
majority of the citizens. 1t would,
indeed, be a great loss to the com
munity should It be forced to eurtail
in any of its activities.
The Board of Aldermen are to be
commended for the action they took
Monday night In extending the much
needed financial assistance to the
library. It shows that Perth Amboy
has men on Its governing board with
intelligence enough to realize what
u library stands for. Naturally there
are exceptions. Perth Amboy is
fortunate in having only one keep
ton out of a body of seven.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-12-03
THE EXPECTED OPPOSITION

1t is hardly to be expected that a
appreciate the public library. An in
stitution that stands for intelligence,
culture, refinement and the general
uplift of the community is more or
namental than useful in the opinion
of such a man and is to be tolerated
only as one of the frills of our mod
ern civilization without wasting too
much one upon it.
The alderman's TRADE against the
library and the men who give freely
of their time to manage it was eN-
pected. 1t would have been a waste
of time to try to explain to him just
why the library needed increased
funds to meet present conditions.
1t was not expected that the alder
ma had read any of the reports of
the library or n of the articles
published telling of the growing
popularity of the library as a civic
center because anything tending to-
ward culture and refinement could
hardly be of interest to him.
Mr.. Clark says hat men who run
their W business efficiently are in
eficient when 1t comes to running
the library. The alderman should be
more specific. Wherein has the
library been inemciently managed2 If

RATIFY WOMAN SUFFRAGE

RATIFY WOMAN SUFFRAGE
No time should be lost or money
wasted by the legislature at the CON-
ing session In regard to the woman's
suffrage amendment. While It Is true
the Republican platform this year
declared for q referendum in this
matter. there are several reasons why
q referendum is not desirable at this
time.
The main reason for the Republic
sans favoring q referendum was be-
muse the voters OF the state defeated
he proposition for woman's suffrage
by a big majority a few years ago.
But the attitude OF the voters on any
auestion q few years ago and their
attitude today is entirely different
We have fought q great war since
that time and the average ans
opinion OF woman's worth and ability
outside tho strictly home cirSe has
changed wonderfully. But more i'm
portant thar that. even, Is the fact
that since New Jersey turned
woman's suffrage down so d~ccisively
the amendment to the federal consti-
tuition has been brought before the
states for ratification and there is
every reason to believe that 1t will be
ratified by a sufficient number of
states to finally adopt it.
When the question was purely q
state matter New Jersey turned It
down. Now hat 1t is about to be-
come a part of the federal constitu-
ton New Jersey, as far as the vote
for President is concerned, will have
to permit the women to vote anyway.
It stands to reason tina II the women
of New Jersey are capable of voting
for President they are capable of
casting q ballot for governor, assem-
blymen or any other state or local
office. There Is no use bucking
against the inevitable.
A referendum in New Jersey would
cost the taxpayers a great deal of
money. The cry today is for govern
ment as well as individual economy.
Save this n by at once ratifying
the suffrage amendment.
Not that woman suffrage promises
the salvation of the world. But it is
important to get the woman suffrage
issue out of the way. The energy
the women are now spending trying
to get ratification, and the energy
certain forces are using fighting rati-
hcation, will be a total loss.
The proposition IS, the women are
sure to get the vote, If not in 1920.
then in 1921. Then why cannot those
still opposing votes for women see
that 1t would eliminate considerable
this ultimate end In the next few
months, instead of prolonging the
women's campaign for a year or
more.
The wisdom OF doing quickly q
thing that is inevitable cannot be
questioned. Delay will mean that
the suffragists viii spend many thou
sands of dollars and much time try
ing to get the vote. and the opposi-
ton will spend thousands trying to
prevent it.
With the amendment ratified, the
women will turn their attention TO
constructive measures, education,
social work and other worthy causes.
The women have fought a good fight
and the battle IS o New Jersey
ought not to delay any longer.
