THE CITY GOVERNMENT.

While we have every confidence In
the integrity of John N. Wester, who,
by the decision OF Justice Bergen on
disputed ballots, is declared elected
nlderman-at-large, there is no reason
why the movement to adopt commits
sion form of government in Perth
Amboy should not proceed. Nc mat
ter how honest, how capable or hard
working a man may be in the fulfill
ment of his official duties we main
tain that he is seriously handicapped
by the complicated and ancient form
Of government under which the city
Is working. Everywhere there is d.
vided authority and all sorts of com
plications. AS good an official as Mr..
Wester will make as the presiding of
acer of the Board OF Aldermen, he
would be able to serve the public far
better If his hands were not tied in
SO many directions.
Then, too. with the continuation of
conditions as they have existed for the
past year, the city having a Demo-
cratic mayor of strong partisan lean
ings, and a Republican majority In the
Board of Aldermen, politics Is sure to
play an important part in everything
that is attempted to be done. We
can't do our best for tn. advancement
of the city If politics is to be thrust
into every issue.
With a city charter dating as far
back as 1871 with hundreds Of
state laws that have been passed since
that time literally punching 1t full OF
holes, 1t is time to bring the city gov
eminent up-to-date and the commits
sion form Is everywhere recognized as
the most modern government for
municipalities with the added feature
of a city manager.
The welfare of the city must come
before the ambitions of n political
party or Individual and 1t is pretty
generally agreed that Perth Amboy,
having outgrown her present form of
government should adopt the commits
sion If her future growth and pros
perity IS not to be impaired.

THE NEW GRAND JURY.

Honest citizens who believe in law
n order Will find a great deal of
satisfaction in the selection of such a
high type of man as John X. Sheehy
for foreman of the grand jury for the
December term of court. Mr.. Sheehy
as a prominent and conservative bus
mess man of his city and as presi-
dent of the Board of Education, has
the respect and esteem of all who
know him. He can be absolutely de-
pended up to deal fairly and impair
TALLY with the important matters that,
as foreman of the grand jury, will
come before him.
Associated with Mr.. Sheehy are
other high class men from this city.
If those from other places are of equal
ability with the Perth Amboy grand
turymen the court is, indeed, assured
OF faithful and conscientious service.

MUNICIPAL DOCK PAYS.

According to the Trenton Times the
municipal dock that was built by
Trenton at a cost of $164,OOO has al
ready paid for itself. The Times says:
ut must be gratifying to Mayor
Donnelly to have the testimony of
John A. Roebling's Sons Company to
the effect that the Municipal Dock,
which was built at a cost of $164.OOo
has already paid for itself twice over
by saving to the 5000 Roebling en-
ployes the wages which they would
have lost except for the dock facili-
ties that enabled the company to
bring to Trenton sufficient coal to keep
the big plant operating at one hun
dred per cent according to Chief
Engineer Bum.
while it is true that the city re-
ceived no direct advantage, the $780,

ARTICLE

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
The article wrote by me n pub
lished in Saturdays edition OF the
EVENING NEWS, besides being the
cause of considerable appreciation
from the people who supply the city
finances, has also been the cause of
creating enmity of a certain class of
people who are always Haunting their
A~mericanism but who are commonly
known as dyed in the wool narrow
backs and / must make 1t plain to
them that 1 hold no brief for any poll
tician or political party, municipality,
but when 1 see that any man or set
of men that has the courage to stand
up and combat the wilful expenditure
of the taxpayers money. or to an
tagonize anyone hat still thinks that
they have the right to demand the
thousands that our city fathers have
been gratuitously handing out,
through a feeling created by a wave
Of gengorism. I must convey to that
man or set of men that they lave the
appreciation OF the people that must
supply the funds.

This should be a fortunate day, ac-
cording to ~astrology. Jupiter, the
Sun and Venus are all in benefic as
pect. Early in the morning Uranus Is
adverse.
While this confguratlon prevails in
i~tiative is likely to be successful
whether it Is in commercial, artistic
or social enterprises.
Speculation again seems to be fore
Swallowed. Ventures in South America
probably will find many investors.
1t is a most suspicious rule under
which to seek capital or influence in
any undertaking. Political aspirants
should make the most of the days
| opportunities.
1t is believed to be a favorable
direction under which to deal with
women in any important affair,
patriotic or philanthorpic.
Persons who seek employment in
any line of work should benefit. Many
will change occupations in the coming
year.
There appears to be a sign fore
casting the secret organizing of
women for political activities. There
is a planetary government making
for hidden motives, subterfuge and
deceit that may bring about schisms
in clubs and leagues.
Art and music will come much to
the fore in popular entertainments
during the coming year in which
amusement will be recognized as a
national necessity.
In the chaotic thought incident to
reconstruction days the mind should
be protected against corrupting sug-
gestions of every sort.
Warning is again given against sx-
perimentation with occult or psychic
forces. Grave dangers lurk in ap-
parently harmless demonstration.
Colleges are under the best guild
ance of the planets and the new year
will bring great benefits to many of
them.
Persons whose bIrthdate it Is have
the augury Of a prosperous year. They
will probably meet with much success
Young women will have offers of
marriage.
Children born on this day will be
generous. affectionate and popular

What has become of the o. I beer

A man never appreciates either his

CURTAILED TRAIN SERVICE.

With the curtailment of train SER
vice due to the shortage of coal
brought about by the strike of the
miners, Perth Amboy, along with
every other place, has been hard hit.
With q service that was none too good
at its best, this city Is particularly af-
fected by the drastic action that has
beer deemed necessary by the coal
administrator.
There is reason to believe that the
curtailment will not last long. 1t Is
to be hoped for the sake of the coun-
try that it will not. When the coal
situation is again normal 1t is up to
Perth Amboy to see that the trains
that have been discontinued for the
t%ime-being are 1t once restored. The
railroad companies cannot be blamed
for the present outrageous situation,
but once the strike Is off and coal is
coming in again there will be no ex-
cuse for not putting all the trains back
in service without delay.
