Clothes Talk Faster Than Words

There you have it! With wage
scales up and production down,
there's nothing for it but higher
prices.
Still nobody seems to care. The
best clothes are the best sellers.
Men are dressing better because
they can afford it.
Clothes, like pictures, talk
faster than words, and most every
man wants his clothes to say
something to his credit.
Your figure is what counts when
it comes to clothes-not the figure
on the price tag.
Now is good time to complete
your fall wardrobe-to buy, in
fact, that frosty morning" suit
you've already bought in your
mind.
New models. seasonabIe fabrics,
have recently arrived on the scene.
Brush up on clothes. See the lat

MUST DRAW LOTS

The Assemblyman who now votes for a candidate for speaker
other than the man endorsed by his own party Is a marked man. lie
will finish out his term discredited and dshonored by his colleagues
and he viii become politically dead.
Time was. at the very outset of the legislative session, when an
sssemblynan could vote for the candidate of the opposing party and
be praised for his independence and his service to the state. That
time has passed. 1t does not take long for a deadlock such as now ties
up the work of the legislature to become a scandal. Rumors, nSinua-
lions, and innuendoes circulated rapidly. Any man who IS uniortun-
ate enough to becomeinvolvedi in any of them is tainted with suspicion
right away. His reputation becomes smirched and his career Is
blasted.
There is only one way to settle the deadlock in the assembly no"
and that is to draw lots. The claim that this is barterng away one S
principles is tommyrot. A man can stand by his principles regardless
CT who is speaker.
The Republican senators ended their deadlock over the election
of a president by drawing lots; millions of young men were drafted
iuto the army through the greatest lottery the world has ever sec and
it was conducted by the United States government. There s a lottery
in every county in the state every time a grand jury is drawn. The
ASSEMBLY need not hesitate, therefore, in adopting this means of set
ting their dispute and getting down to business.

UNITED ACTION AGAINST EXPLOSIVES

un;tod action bv all the towns and cities in this section of the
state in regard to the storing of explosives is what the EVENING
NEWS has been urging ever since the destruction of the Morgan plant
,os,o October. Perth Amboy has certainly been doing her part toward
making this vicinity safe to live in, but up until the present 1t has
worked almost alone.
1t is with no little satisfaction, therefore, that we note the action
Of The Board of Freehoders in taking a lead in the matter and speak
;no for the county IS a whole, it is securing the cooperation of each
separate community.
That conditions at Morgan and at Germantown are not salts
factory has been evident for some time. All kinds Of rumors nc re-
norris have been received, some of them on the authority OF persons who
are in a position TO know what they are talking about Yet, wheh
such reports and rumors ire put up to those In charge they ae lndg-
nantly denied and guarantees are given that everything Is aS "
should be.
The War Department promised some time ago that all explosives
would be moved not only from Morgan, but from the entire county and
taken to New Mexico. Perhaps that promise was given IN good faith.
But military orders are likely to be cancelled over night. Plans are
changed constantly and what was intended one day is entirely re-
jeeted the next.
Evidently this is what has been done in regard to the removal OF
explosives from Middlesex county. Director Dey, of the Board Of
Freeholdes, presented facts that indicated that drastic action is nee
,ssary ifthis community is to be made safe. The people might be will
ing 1 take long chances in war time, but in time of peace there is no
eason why a thckly populated section such as this, with the great
metropolitan district of New York only eighteen or twenty miles away
should be made the storage place for millions of tons Of explosives.
The situation is bad enough under the strict discipline of military
control, but now We read that even Camp Rartan at Germantown
where there is ever more explosives stored than at Morgan is L pass
lnder civilian control within the next three months.
The strongest kind of a protest should be made against the with
drawal of any soldiers from either Morgan or Bonhamtown until all
the explosives are removed, and even with the soldiers on guard the
explosives should be taken away tO a less populated region as rapidly
as transportation can be secured.
With the county and the various municipalities in this section
and that means Monmouth county as well as MiddleseN-eo-operatlng
something ought TO be accomplished. At least the officials should
keep eyerashngly at il. All the assurances in the world that nothing
can happen and that everything is perfectly safe can not allay the
dread and fears of this community, after what it has passed through,
as long as the henish stuff is stored anywhere around here.

THE RIVER FRONT FOR PARK

With the park and monument along the river front becoming
more and more popular and with the possibility of that idea being
SSfnally adopted as the soldiers memorial by the city, it might be well
an nas consider just what legislation is necessary, if any, for getting the
t ire Sperty in question under the control of a single city department in
tafAfder that the development might proceed without interruption once
An is started.
q, The proposition isl to develop the Wonderland Beach property, the
Gregory site and the Hayes tract as one continuous pleasure ground
with the monument and mall directly at the foot of Madison avenue.
But while the Wonderland Beach property and the Hayes tract were
purchased expressly for park purposes and are therefore under the
jurisdiction Of the park board, the Gregory site was purchased with
the idea of developing the harbor along commercial lines, building a
great terminal there, so that the Gregory tract, which lies directly IN
the center of the nrnnosed park site, is under the jurisdiction of the
rackage ..':7."""-- 49,
