THE FREEBOOTER CANDIDATES

With Hugh C. Reilly out of the race for freebooter Perth
Amboy is once more without a candidate for that important
office. 1t is to be regretted. While it is true Mr.. REILLY may
have stood small chance of being elected in November, he at
least would have afforded an opportunity for the people of
Perth Amboy to register their protest against the way this city
is ignored year after year in the freeholdership.
Any city that pays more tax than any other single district
in the county ought to have ayoice in the way that money is
handled. There ought to be some way of impressing this fact
upon the two political parties.
1t is not enough to say that the people choose their own
candidates at the primaries. 1t is a we'll known fact that the
organizations" of both parties let it be pretty generally un-
derstood whom they favor for the respective nominations and
where there is a large field of candidates, such as was the case
IN the Democratic primaries this year in regard to freebooter,
the machine followers, by concentrating on a certain one
or two, as the case may be, can easily put their men across.
The party leaders cannot escape their responsibility for the
way Perth Amboy is continually ignored in the matter of free
holders.
The EVENING NEWS would like to see two good men
from this city, one a Republican and the other a Democrat, file
independent petitions and run as Independent candidates for
ireeholder this fall We do not hold out any hope for such can
didates being elected, but we believe that they would afford
the voters of Perth Amboy an opportunity to show how they
feel OIL the matter. This, We believe, would be the most ef-
fective way of serving notice on the county, and the party lead
ers in particular, that Perth Amboy insists upon having recog-
milton IN the Board Of Treeholdersr

Jesus disciples had vainly tried to
relieve a poor sufferer from the tor
ments of an evil spirit.
Then they called Jesus to help
them, who quickly worked a miracle
of healing.
And the disciples wondered why
they had not succeeded, and Jesus
said in reply to their query:
This kind goeth not out but by
prayer and fasting"
The disciples hadn't taken their
task seriously enough.
They had been eager to help. but
power does not come through eager
ness alone.
An evil spirit is in the world to-
day.
1t has shown itself in var and pes
thence, in labor conflicts and in per-
sonal controversies, which have torn
men apart and made them bitter enc
mics.
And men in certain groups have
gotten together to talk about how
they might rid the world OF this de
mon OF hate and destruction.
They have appropriated campaign
funds of millions of dollars n adopt
ed resolutions and formed organiza-
lions to sweep out of our country
every element which deprives US oi
peace and happiness.
But-"this kind goeth not out but
by prayer and fasting"
The evil is too ~deep-rooted and
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-10-08

strongly-entrenched.
1t has been feeding too long on the
life-blood of the nation. It has sap
ped its strength until in some of its
parts the nation has econ weak and
almost helpless. 1t has stirred the
passions Of men, driving them madly
over precipices' and through rivers in
their hatreds and their animosities.
This kind goeth not out but by
prayer and fasting"
Think not hat a hastily-called con-
vention or a carelessly signed petition
or a ffippantly expressed conviction
will rid us of radicals" and "Bolshe-
WIKI and mobs and strikes and wars.
Our nation needs to get down upon
its knees and cry out:
God be merciful to me-a sinner!'
We have too long been Indifferent
to the sufferings of our fellows. We
have been too negligent of the con
dition of the poverty stricken. We
have been deaf to the bitter cry OF
little children.
And now that we've been relieved
from the strain of war, and u eyes
have been even ~half-opened to the
horror of what we've passed through,
we've become almost hysterical as the
fruits of mems passions and selfish
ness pass before us as a horrible
nightmare.
This kind goeth not out but by
prayer and fasting"
It Is no time for a cheap patriot
ism" that neglects the great fact OF
national sin. It is foolish to indulge In
childish patter about democracy
that ignores the very elements OF
brotherhood and Justice. It is futile
to cry out peace, peace" when there
Is no peace.
