Tips from the
Tabernacle

Billy Sunday goes to East Mo
line Saturday noon TO conduct a
meeting and the mayor and people
of that city are perplexed because
they don't know where to find a
hall large enough to accommodate
the crowd that will want to hear
the evangelist. Mr.. Sunday refuses
to speak from an outdoor platform
because of the effect it has on his
voice, which is causing him a good
deal of trouble Something, how
ever, will be decided upon before
the week Is out.
Two shop meetings are to be held
tomorrow noon at Rock Island

NEW TROLLEY LINE

We admire the determination shown by Plainfield busi-
nessmen in getting a trolley line established between that city
and South Plainfeld. The Public Service Railway Company
has absolutely refused to have anything to do with an extension
of its lines on the ground that it has no money. But the PLAIN
field people insisted that the trolley line must be built and &C
cordingly a stock company is being organized TO build IT, Inc

$50. 600 of the stock s a good start and Plainfield businessmen
expect to do the rest. -
If the Public Service doesn't watch out the people VIII
wake up to the fact that it is possible to get along without IL,
after all.
By-the-way, what's the matter with running the proposed
line not only to South Plainfeld, but on to Metuchen ana TO
Perth Amboy where it could hook up with the Jersey Gentral
Traction Company, another independent concern, and operate
cars direct from plainfeld to the shore? Perth AmDoy could
be counted on to boost for such a proposition as this and the
Jersey Central. which operates from this city to Red Bank and
Highlands, ought to welcome such an opportunity to extend
us territory into the populous districts in the northern part Oh

WHY THIS

President Wilson notified Director General Hines that
there would be no consideration of a wage increase for the
railroad men until they all returned to work. When work mas
~been resumed the director general is authorized to take up the
wage demands of the brotherhood members and decide them
On their merits.
But how about the employees of the post office department?
They do not have to be requested to return to work before
consideration is given to any wage increase for them. They
never have quit work. They have seen the cost of living mount
higher and higher month after month and they are still plug
ging along at the same salaries they received several years ago.
But as a reward for their faithfulness they are given no con-
sideration whatever. In other words, it would seem that the
government forces men to strike before they are given recog-
milton.
The man in the baggage car, now under government con-
troll, gets his wages raised at frequent intervals because ne is
organized and threatens to strike when he does not get what
he thinks he is entitled to. But the man in the mail car, work
ing on the same train, gets nothing but abuse from the post
master general who fights every move made to give him a liv-
ing wage. Thus does the government discourage the faithful
employees and encourage strikes.

Editor EVENING NEWS:
Now thai the main topic of converse

suggest through the columns of your
paper that the balance of the Morgan

before we meet with another catas-
trophe.
When one considers the time and
energy that is wasted adjusting the
difficulties of every other nation under
the sun, seems to me charity begins

concerned.

'The sales of army food are proper, and II there IS any
way of insuring that the articles shall reach the most Needy

tiy is too small to make any visible impression upon the living

New York will get about g., 100000 pounds, which is rather less
than two thirds of a pound per capita. That is not much more
than one square meal after deducting the infants. But the food
might possibly be so distributed as to afford considerable re-
lief to people of the smallest earnings; and its sale TO the pub
