DOLLARS FOR CHINA.

American fiDanciers have started
for China to investigate the industrial
needs Of the Chinese people. America
is the first nation to come to China's
practical help In this matter since the
war. The project may exert g. pro-
found influence upon the future de-
velopment of the Far East. 1t means
IChina's commercial expansion may
become independent of Japan's direc-
ton.
Americans have mono but the best
wishes for Japan's own industrial de-
velopment. But, 1t doesn't accord
with American principles to make no
protest against the Japanese govern
ment's domination OF another coun-
try's commerce.. Japan wants to con-
troll Chinese Industrial life so thai
progressive development shall be
limited. Otherwise, the japanese BE-
lieve the hold Of those in possession
will be endangered.
In reality. Japan cannot suffer from
China's prosperity. The more pros
porous China Is, the more prosperous
Japan will be. But naive economic
ideas prevail in many places beside
Japan about the danger Of progress.
II japan continues to control China's
industrial existence. the result will be
as bad for the Japanese as for the
Chinese. e.
Japan's w best interests require
the stimulation of Chinese COM
petition. Competition hurts at first,
but 1t is the best known agent for
making individuals and nations I'M
prove their methods of production.
Industrial civilization will be-
come modernized tho quicker with
American influences setting the pace
In China.

Our Hoe Miller Contest.

Edward NJ. Hurley, United States
Commissioner at Cincinnati, claims
that the oldest joke is the one about
|Dolan and Bolan. They belonged to
the same lodge, but Bolan was at the
head Of the lodge and Dolan mere
ly one Of the rank and file. Dolan
hated Bolan like a Bolshevik hates
soap. Bolan died, and to do honor to
THE memory of the lodge ruler, the
members of the lodge were ordered
to wear mourning of some kind for
ten days. Dolan went into a dry goods
store and asked the clerk what was
the custom regarding the wearing OF
mourning. "Well.' replied the Clerk,
at depends. If 1t is a near relative,
you should wear black clothes or 8
black band IN the arm or q black
band around the hat. If 1t Is a FRIEND
Ia black tie would do" Dolan thought
for a minute m then said: Give mt

EDITOR EVENT

EVENING NEWS:
Dear sir:-My bus line has been
taken over and will, in the future,
be operated by the NJ. o. Bus Com
pany. During the time I ran the bus
1 always endeavored to give the
public the best Of service. There were
innumerable provoking things with
which I had to contend, and which I
tried to overcome, and for this rea-
son l am relieved to be out of the
business. l know that he new bus
owners will comply with the laws
and the orders Of the mayor and the
Board OF Aldermen. I feel sure that
the O.. B. company, under the direc-
ton of DR.. Allen, president of the
Middlesex Omnibus Company, and
Mr.. J. Jeffords, the company traffic
manager. will thrive here and always
give the best service. Mr.. Jeffords Is
acquainted with the ordinance here
and knows how to direct the opera
lions so that the best service Is at
tanned. There Is no question but
that the best service will be given the
people of Perth Amboy and suburban
towns. During the time l was in
business I found that the owners did
not cooperate as they should with the
Board of Aldermen and for that rea-
son the best service was not obtain
ed. Under the new direction l feel
that the public in general will receive
the best service and cooperation.
Many times In the past I have used
the EVENING NEWS columns to
get justice in running my bus and I
must say hat the mayor and the
aldermen have done all in their pow
er to help run the bus In the proper
manner and / am sure that they will
cooperate with Mr.. Jefford, the traf-
fc anager of the new company.
For his privilege I thank the edi-
tor most heartily.
Very truly yours,
MRS. JOSEPH AVELIIY.

T. OF STATE POLICE
(Plainfleld Courier-News.)

The Union County Board Of Agri-
culture, ut O session held in Elizabeth
yesterday. recorded itself In favor Of
a state constabulary, the farmers
claiming that the theft of crops has
become a very serious matter to them
and the only way they can see of
stopping these raids upon their Held
Is by having a State police.
They also complain about the auto
|mobilists and do not hesitate to "a
that many crop thefts are perpetrated
by men who ride in cars The ques-
ton of a State constabulary has been
before the legislature several times.
and has been beaten because of the
opposition of organized labor. and the
belief Of many citizens that such an
| organization Is not necessary, that
each municipality should maintain It's
! own police force.
To do TIL would be quite a burden
upon some of the sparsely settled
townships Of the State, and would
! make 1t necessary for The county to
undertake the maintenance Of a police
force.
1t would seem entirely possible to
raise enough money from automobile
| licenses and the fines that are i'm
inspectors for the motor vehicle de-
partments. and these should be spread
literally throughout the State.
They could pc made to constitute a
kind of State police. That Is really
what the inspectors are any way. Up
to the present time Commissioner Dill
has not had all the men he could
use In watching motor law v~iolators
but It Is certain that In order to prop
erly enforce the motor vehicle laws
there should be not less tina two
inspectors assigned to every count,
and in the larger counties. or in Sec
tons of the State where auto traffic
is heavy, the number should be in.
creased according to the traffic. The
motor vehicle commissioner shoult
have at least sixty men IN the roads
IF the State at all times. If he haG
such a force greater respect would be
shown for the motor vehicle laws
and the cost of maintaining this force
could easily be met through the col
lection Of fines imposed upon v%iolators
and the fines woul not have to bt
excessive either-just enough to teacl
the motorist that he must be good
that he has no greater or less rights
on the highway tina anyone else.
Some motorists think they have eS-
elusive rights which others must re
spect. A strong force of motor vehicle
inspectors, some working by day ant
| Others by night, would afford quit
q measure OF protection to the rura
communities. The men engaged IL
this work should be equipped witt
machine guns mounted on automo
biles, so as to combat the burglar
who nave in the recent past com
mitted murder in addition to robbery
in an effort to escape from the police

Controlling Thoughts of Others
BY ROGER BABSON

'IIow many are working here now ?

Such questions always take the fore
mans mind off his troubles. After he
has answered the question, he has
forgotten what he was cross about.
The girl tells me hal she learned
the trick from her mother who had
seven children.
She had q wise mother!
Said she:

to quit crying or Quarreling abou'
something, she never told them so
but would change their thought by
talking about something else. 1 sim.

GOOD ON ALL TRAINS.

For q few hours Monday morning
1t looked as if Perth Amboy would
be among the first to appeal to the
Public Utility Commission against the
railroads after their return to private
ownership. All during government
control ell tickets sold at the local
station have been good on either
PENNSYLVANIA or Central railroad
trains. The EVENING NEWS several
weeks ago called attention to the
possibility of this privilege being re-
voked once the roads reverted back
to private ownership.
Monday morning these fears were
Justified when 1t was at the
local ticket office that as no reference
had beer made to tickets being GOOD
on either road. Central tickets would
be good only on the trains Of that
road and the Pennsylvania tickets
would be good acceptable only on the
Pennsylvania trains.
In the first edition Of the EVENING
NEWS on Monday the return to the
old system was commented on ana
the city was urged to lake the mai
ter up with the Public Utility Com
mission at once. as the convenience
of having all tickets good on the
trains of either road was too great to
be lost.
But shortly after noon a telegram
was received at the local station In
structing the ticket agent to continue
selling tickets good on both roads
until further notice. It was with q
great deal of pleasure the EVENING
NEWS lifted" the editorial referred
10 from tho second edition, as the
suggestion made was no longer nee
essary.
hut the situation must be carefully
watched until the railroads under
private management adopt the policy
that worked so satisfactorily during
the war period. All the stations south
of Perth Amboy on the New York &
Long Branch railroad enjoy the
privilege OF having their tickets good
on the trains of both roads. All that
Is necessary is to have Perth Amboy
included along with the New York &
Long Branch stations. This can
easily be done as both trains use the
same station here as they DO on the
New York & Long Branch road Be-
yond his point however, the roads
divide SO that there is no call for
tickets good on both roads.
There is no desire on the art or
Perth Amboy to make any more
trouble for the management OF the
railroads than they are already having
In assuming absolute control of the
lines afte n government control. but
the privilege of using the tickets OF
either road on all trains Is something
thai must not be taken away and If
It Is necessary to carry the matter to
the Public Utility Commission 1t
should be done just as soon as it Is
evident tHat IHe IdiiioauS WAL "NO
willingly continue this practice.
II would appear, however, that the
private management OF the roads Is
not inclined to 20 back to the old
custom. We are glad that 1t was not
necessary to begin proceedings against
the companies so soon after getting
their roads back, anyway. 1t is hoped
that as the officials of the two roads
consider the matter they will decide
10 make the present practice Of an
Interchange Of tickets q permanent
feature for Perth Amboy.

ONE NATION-ONE TIME.

In spite of the certain confusion
that is bound to result, the assembly
Monday night, passed the daylight
saving bill. Daylight saving is q good
thing. we are willing to grant, but
to be of any use it must be general.
We cannot have the federal govern
ment operating under n time and
certain states n municipalities
operating under time that is entirely
different. Mails. railroads, industries
all will be in one grand confusion
once this daylight saving idea Is put
into effect in certain localities and not
in others.
1t Is to be regretted that congress
saw ut to repeal the daylight saving
law and has since declined to re-
enact It. But il we are to continue
TO be one nation we mus have one
standard time and that standard must
be regulated from Washington. There
is no more reason why the different
states and municipalities should es-
tablish a time TO suit themselves than
they should adopt their own coinage.
