Something Carolyn May Wishes to
Know.
Carolyn Nays heart was filed with
trouble.
This was the result Of her first talk
with the cid sailor. Not from him, nor
from anybody else, did Carolyn May
get any direct information that the
sailor had been aboard the Dunraven
on her fatal voyage. But his story
awoke In the child's breast doubts and
Iongings, uncertainties and desires that
had lain dormant for many weeks.
Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose loved her

She began to droop. Keen-eyed
Aunty Rose discovered this physical

SO, as a stimulant and preventive
Of 'droopiness," Aunty Rose prescribed
boneset tea, 'plenty of It."
Three times a day Carolyn May was
dosed with boneset tea. How long the
child's stomach would have endured
under this treatment will never be
known. Carolyn May got no better

AS the state has already taken over a section oil both these routes
and is now at work on them, it is apparent that these bridges WILL soon
be under state control and the great burden that the taxpayers d MID

will be shifted to broader shoulders, becoming a state affair as II

PRESIDENT SHOWS THE WAY

How small and narrow appear the critics OF President wilson IN
the light of his lofty sentiment as expressed to his Boston audience
yesterday. With the whole world looking toward the light of a new
CAV that is just dawning for the masses everywhere-a new day IN
which the glory of the United States of America is reflected as the
mi to show the way to great and noble things, how insignificant be-
come those petty, quarrclous senators, blinded with jealousy, in their
attack OF the man who is playing the leading roe. in this magnificent
epoch-making occasion.
While waiting to take up with congress the details OF the League
AZ Nations, the tentative constitution of which the President has
brought home with him, his address at Boston well prepares the nation
for the facts that he will later lay before the people. He lifts his fell
iow-countrymcn above the petty strife of partsanship; he shows to the
American nation the great and noble objects worthy of a great and
generous and powerful people. Tn into t0seagions and dlstrut
ahat FL the World ard hasahmh martina NINA as%n to the mssa and petty
things of life n brushed aside and the curtain is raised upon a new
era. al era in which every rightthinxing man will delight to have a
mart. It is the dawn of an era of peace on earth and good viii toward
men And the United States of America, with her splendid prepare
ton through long years Of isolation is ready and fully capable of gong
forth as the great leader toward the betterment of humanity every
where.
until he reaches a certain age, and then the time comes when he must
go forth TO work out his destiny, so the United States has become or
age and a splendid destiny it is that open up before it, thanks to the
wonderful leadership of Woodrow Wilson.
We cannot ignore the great duty that lies before us. Let us then
grid ourselves for the task and, taking the draft of the proposed
League of Nations which has been drawn up, mold it and form 1t into
workable document that it may be for the whole world what our own
constitution. drawn up by our forefathers, has been for US during the
past century.
The President has put to shame his critics who would tear down
but who offer nothing in the place of that which they would de-
stroy. He can rest assured that he has with him in his great work
every forwardlooking person in this country as well as Throughout
the civilized world.

SAFEGUARDING THE COMMUNITY

The service that the Perth Amboy Council of Defense has rem
dered not only this city but the entire country is brought out III the re-
port of the senate committee appointed to investigate the explosion
and fire at the Gillespie shell loading plant at Morgan.
The report condemns the storage of high explosives so near dense
Nv populated cities and criticizes severely the fact that while a sixty
day supply of explosives would have been sufficient to have on hand at
enc time, there was at Morgan at the time of the explosion a supply
sufficient to last 300 days.
accumulation of explosives and shells. - the report says. cit is our
ment into the matter"
The report does say, however, that the authorities at the plant
.'faied TO observe precautions for the protection of residents and prop
erty.' 1t is pretty generally believed that if the War Department ear
res out the recommendation of the committee and conducts a rigid in
vestigation it will learn things that the War Department ought to
know.
But even if the matter is dropped with the senate investigation
III practically certain that no such munition works as that established
at Morgan will ever again be operated so close to Il thekly populated
community. Perth AmbOy, South Amboy and nearby towns had to
suffer severely in order that the lesson might be learned, but 1t doubt
less will be the means of saving other communities should the countr!
ever find itself at war again.
The Perth Amboy Council of Defense, being everything that its
rame implies, did not finch in its duty and today, with the report OF
the senate investigation committee made public, Its whole course IS
thoroughly indicated
The next work is to rid the community entirely of the high ex
plosiyes that are still stored hereabouts. While there is not so much
danger in the mere storage of the explosives and shells ms there was
in the working of them, the fact remains that there is entirely toe
