IT would seem tbat the best way

1t would seem that the best way
to cooperate for the advancement
OF Perth Amboy. especially for a city
of this size, would be through one
central organization such as the
Chamber of Commerce. Here is an
organization broad enough to include
all lines of activity in the community.
1t is through organizations similar
to this that other cities have done so
much in the way of publicity and
general advancement. With its afilia-
ton with the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, and with bureaus
for tho merchants and manufacturers
whereby they may work out their
particular interests along their own
lines. it would seem that real CO.
operation would be to all get behind
the one big organization and boost
Perth Amboy as only such an or
ganization can do.
But as the manufacturers have seen
ct to organize their W private or
ganization entirely apart from the
Chamber OF Commerce and have en-
gagged q secretary to look after their
particular interests, so some of the
merchants, apparently, have decided
that they can serve better If they, too,
have their own seperate organization.
The result is the United Business
Mems Association.
We are sure that all have the best
interest of Perth Amboy at heart and
If the spirit of cooperation Is
thoroughly carried out it ought to
mean a concentration of effort that
will count for something.
BY getting behind the Buy in Perth
Amboy" campaign which the Chamber
of Commerce IS putting across the
first week in March the new or
ganization is making a most COM
mendable beginning. Here is some
thing, in deed. that is for the adj
vancement of Perth Amboy and par
ticularly the merchants of this city.
BY every business nan getting en-
Enthusiastically behind it. it cannot help
but draw trade to local stores and
develop much new business.
This is the kind Of cooperation that
counts. 1t is an excellent start for
the new organization. The closer these
civic bodies work together in the in
terest of Perth Amboy the better 1t
viii be for all concerned.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1920.

Astrologers read this as a most i'll
omened day, for Mercury, Jupiter
Saturn and the Sun are all in maletlc
aspect.
| 1t is a day in which to pursue even
routine affairs with caution, for the
stars during this configuration seem
to bear out the ancient superstition
concerning the day and date.
1t is held a most unfortunate rule

contracts of any sort, influences MAX

or plans may be expected.
During this sway messages that bear
bad news about business conditions
or plan may be expected.
Ventures in professional or CONNER
cial enterprises should not be started
lWhile this CONFORMATION prevails.
There Is a sign e as foreshadow-
ing the sudden shrinkage of values in
certain securities and the spread of
fear regarding financial matters.
The Sun seems to presage failure
of attainment to men of supreme am
bition. This is read as affecting
Presidential aspirants. for 1t appears
to those who interpret the aspects of
the stars that surprises are to mark
the choice OF candidates.
Again the sears give warning
against the harboring of pessimistic
or discouraginS thoughts, for 1t is i'm
perative at this time hat men should
exercise their power to dominate cir
cumstances.
They who foresee events in the posi-
ton of the planets declare hat the
next five years will constitute the birth
hour of a higher civilization than has
yet existed.
Travelling is today under a threaten
ing direction and accidents, especially
to automobiles, seem to be indicated.
Persons whose birthdate it Is may
have rather strenuous year, but they
may overcome difficulties by the ex-
ercise of caution and foresight.
Children born on this day may be
proud, independent and self-willed.
These subjects Of Aquarius should be
slow In choosing their life companions.

Public Opinion
The Lobster Industry
Editor Evening News:

! EuHLOI LNellllS GNO"c'
In regards to your editorial or the
oyster industry in your paper OF the
ninth instant l wish to say that L am
in entire sympathy with your Idea, and
at the same time wish to call your
attention to another bill which is pro-
posed that affects the lobster fisher
men Of tho state of New Jersey.
1 wish through your valuable paper,
to draw the attention of all lobster
fishermen in this state as to just what
it means to them if this bill is passed.
I refer to assembly bill no. 2S.
Assembly bill no. % provides that
Holsters car be caught only by those
having a license. at @ cost OF SlO
each, such Holsters to be caught by
means of lobster pots only and limits
! the number of pots to 100. makln II
necessary to place on each buoy a
number to correspond with the num-
Der of the license and such license
is not transferable. This bill affects
the waters of this state within three
nautical miles of the coast line.
The penalty for failing to comply
with any of the above provisions are
/ as follows: A fine of $50. revoking
of license for one year, cost of
forfeiture of all boats lobster pots
and other appliances used.
I now wish to call your
to the Objectionable features of this
proposed bill.
A license having been procured,
such license must be carried on the
person, a very difficult thing to do
as clothing is wet most of the time.
The taking of Holsters by means
of lobster pots only, means that all
Holsters must be thrown oVe oar
Immediately If caught in set nets,
gill nets, pounds, fixes, etc, even II
Ca1,obf nv hook and line,
The limiting the amount of lobster
pots to be set to 100 means that q
mar with a family can Tot make q w
ing as there are years when he can
not do so with double this amount.
1t also puts a premium on ambition.
Putting q number on each ouoy
is almost an impossible feat as great
numbers Of buoys are lost daily which
have to be marked with q handy piece
of drift wood. This section also pro-
vides for any such further identih-
cation of lobster pots as may be de-
termincd by the Board of Fish and
Game Commissioners.
If a lobsterman hires a man to
work for him he has to first procure
a license which can not be transfer
red in case such man quits II an
other one has to take his place, re-
curing another license fee to be taken
out as often as this happens.
The fees and penalties provided for
in this bill are objectionable in them
selves. The penalties are beyond all
reason as the way the bill reads
(Which is the way the law is inforced)
can take away every thing a fisher
man owns, not only a lobsterman,
but anyone caught violating any pro-
vision of this act limiting nothing,
as it reads all boats lobster pots and
other appliances used, making no
mention for what used.
Hoping that you will find space in
your paper to take this matter up,
l am Yours Respectfully,
W. +. Morrell,
Keyport, n. J.

abraham L ncoln- ezvInside Vie7o
By JUDGE R. M. WANANAKER of Ohio Supreme Court

I first tried out the cause of all his
clients. 1t vas there he first tried
out the cause of slavery. If the court
of conscience decided against his
cause hat was the end of the whole
matter. If it decided In his favor, he
then took the cause to the court of
reason. Here his personal likes and
dislikes were ~disregarded. Nothing
but the substantials of fact, reason,
and right and the public good were
to be considered.
The design of this brief article is
to stimulate q further study of Lin
coin into the sub-soil of his mind and.
conscience.
To that end I suggest a further
outline along intellectual and ethical
lines, as follows:
Say q trip with Lincoln on his
thought train, stopping at these seven
great stations of his lif~e-stations
that he stopped at and studied every
situation with which he was o n
fronted for action:
1. Deliberation.
2. Decision.
3. Declaration.
4. Definition.
5. Demonstration.
@. Dedication.
Z. Democracy.
An analytic as well as synthetic
study of Lincoln at these seven sta
lions will give us a better under
standing OF the warp and wool of the
man, which he daily wove into his
personal. professional and public
conduct.

Free Speech
BY Justice Coleridge

A man may lawfully express his
opinion on any public matter, how
er distasteful, however repugnant to
others, If. of course, he avoids de-
famatory matter, or If he avoids any
thing that car be characterized either
as a blasphemous or as an obscene
libel. Matters of state, matters of
policy, matters even of morals-all
these are open to him. He may state
his opinion freely. he may buttress
1t by argument, he may try to per-
suade others to share his views.
Courts and juries are not the judges
in such matters. For instance. if he
thinks hat either q despotism, or an
oligarchy, Dr. a republic, or even ne
government at all is the beet way of
conducting human affairs, he is at
perfect liberty to va SO.
