EDITOR EVENING NEWS;
In regard to the position Of Bus
Starter" which were handed out by
Alderman Waters of the second ward,
/ have a grievance which l would
like to put before the people and the
remaining members of the City Coun-
ell in regard to one of these posi-
tionS.
Shortly after these busses were
started and it was seen that a starter
wa essential, l asked Alderman Wa
ters about making application for
same, he told me to file a applica-
ton with the City Clerk, which was
done by me. i was assured by Alder
man Waters and other members OF
the City Council that my application
would be given due consideration. On
Monday, October 9th, when the star
tiers were put on the job, l approach
ed Alderman Waters and asked
whether my application was given
any consideration, he stated to me
that no applications had been given
consideration, hat "he" had done the
appointing for these positions as he
saw fit.
L think hat Thave a right to ex-
pect consideration for one of these

two years I served overseas with the
American forces, being at the front
lines from the first to the last, during
that time l was wounded to such an
extent that it is a physical impossi-
bility for me to perform any work
that is laborious in n way, upon re-
turning to this city / tried to fill the
position that 1 formerly held before
entering the service, but was unable
to do SO on account of the injury sus-
tanned fighting for the United States.

Smith, taking daily treatment for same
injury. Being the support of a wife
and child at these times it is hard to
find suitable employment to take care
of them properly, and it is princi-
pally that I base my claim that 1
should have been given considera-
ton by Alderman Waters as he un-
derstood my case long before he took
1t upon himself to appoint these star
tiers.
/ am certain that the remainder of
the City Council will appreciate my
cause and give the application OF

that he has made, as any ex-service

ctatef that I did my bit. and that
should have been considered with

Winds

Winds n
The wind of spring is joyous, as pleasantly it floats; it
never does annoy us with CHASTITY, waling notes. 1t seems to
bring a rumor of blue and crystal seas; and with buoyant
humor it swishes through the trees. We never hear it scream
ing, as though with stomach ache; it helps us in our dreaming,
and soothes us when we wake. The sizzling wind of summer
blows morals galley west; and clergyman and plumber de-
nounce it, with the rest. Tumultuous and torr1d, 1t goes It's
burning way, and makes us think up horrid and beastly things
to say. The Woody wind of winter has little helpful use evan
gelist and printer berate it like the deuce. 1t numbs our nerves
and senses as from the north it skids; it adds to our expenses,
and makes us, soak our lids. But oh, the wind of autumn!
It seems to sigh, my friends, Of woe that has no bottom, OF
pain that never ends. 1t walls around my cottage, what time
the daylight dies, when l am tired Of swattage, and chasing OF
the flies. Now hastily now slowly, it whimpers overhead;
there's nothing so unholy, so weird, so full OF dread. 1t slghs,
in haunted crannies, of long dead men and maids, of old for
gotten grannies, who walked the earth as shades.

BOOST FOR CANNON

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
AS a resident of New Jersey for
more than thirty years and of this
city for owe twenty-five years, l am
naturally interested in the election of
county clerk and would like to say
a word or two in favor of one of the
candidates-Bernard NJ. Cannon.
1 have known the above-named
gentleman for many years n have
found him to be one of the few men
always approachable-in office or out
of it; consequently Barney as he
is more Familiarity known, is a man
of the people.
Much has been said for and against
his reelection, the principal reason
for desiring his defeat at the polls
being hat he has held Office long
enough.
Well. now, is this logic or good
business policy? Suppose an employ
er (be this a corporation, IN individual
municipality or county, had in his
employ a man who is capable and
exacting enough to fill a certain po-
sition selected for him for a given
number of years and who is serving
his employer well, would 1t be good
business policy to dismiss him in or
der to make room merely for some
one else without that practical knoWl-
edge the former has2 Would 1t not
be better to retain the old employee,
believing that by holding onto a good
man the previous experience gained
by him during all these years would
be to the benefit of the one employing
him?
Such is the case with Barney" in
the County Clerks Office. Mr.. Gan
o has made good" for a number of
years as County Clerk and the well
fare of the community demands that
an efficient and capable office holder
be retained in the office he now holds
all the more since he knows the &C
tive routine work of that office and
needs no breaking in"
Mr.. Cannon is a large hearted man,
always ready and willing, so far as
his means permit, to come to the aid
of any one of his fellow men.-no
matter what their creed-even to the
last red cent.
When u boys went to the front,
Mr.. Cannon did more than his share
in promoting the financial success of
al! the various drives. Just as much
as our boys fought "over there so
did Barney fight over here, with
sleeves rolled away up; he did 1t for
the Red Cross. Salvation Army, X. of
c., Y. NJ. C. A. the Motor Corps-in
fact. any and all of them, wherever
and whenever the occasion required.
/ have nothing to gain either way
by the election, but would like to see
al honest and capable official get
what he deserves; reelection.
