we must have their Doodle. and so
we rise and wall. 'Hurrah for
Yankee Doodle, and for the

focking for many years to come,
to scenes that once were shock

AUTO TRUCKS AND HIGHWAYS.

one of the results of the railroad
strike has been the great increase in
the number Of auto trucks hauling
freight over the public highways. This
long distance trucking is now largely
in the hands OF corporations doing a
big business in competition with the
railroads. These. auto truck corpora
tons have their right of way furnished
and maintained by the taxpayers
whereas the railroads have to furnish
their own right of way. AT the rate
of increase in the number of auto
trucks on the public highways the
ordinary citizen will soon be crowded
off the main routes. 1t would seem
that the least that could be asked
would be a separate freight ruck
highway built and maintained through
q tax or percentage of profits collected
from those who use these especially
constructed roads.
The Passaic Herald has some timely
remarks along this line as follows:
The motor truck proved a handy
substitute for the enlarged freight
car during the week just past. If the
railroad tie-up should have grown
worse. instead of loosening up. the
motor truck would have been the only
salvation Of industry and commerce,
as it was to an extent little appreciated
when the railroad service was over
taxed by the demands of war.
But caravans of motor trucks
mean ruin for improved highways,
which were not constructed with such
traffic in view. Through routes. like
the Lincoln highway, which were a
matter of pride a few ears ago, are
now worm and rutted to a degree that
make them actually dangerous in
places.
Even in normal times volume of
heavy traffic passing over popular
routes in and out Of Passaic is steadily
increasing, and creating a new high
way problem.
EITHER specially constructed freight
highways must be provided. or the
common highway must be so design
ed as to stand the heavier strain which
is put upon it,"

CITY SCHOOL TEACHERS
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

Something to think about.
/ wonder IL the parents of the
children at Perth Amboy schools are
aware tina teachers just graduating
schools (and who have had no prac-
teal experience) at a much higher
salary than some of the teachers who
have taught for several years are re-
ceiving. 1t is neither fair to these,
nor is it fair to the pupils.
Many of our teachers 1 understand
have resigned for more lucrative
work. Why not induce those who
have given the best years of their
lives in teaching the children of our
schools conscientiously to stay with
us by increasing their salaries? 1t is
very Unsatisfactory to have taught
several years for a paltry salary to
have inexperienced (~because expert
epce only comes with years of hard
work. teachers appointed at a larger
salary to begin with than those are
receiving who have been teaching for
years.
While we are calling the public's
attention to his there is another
matter which is OF serious import
ance and hat is: Did ever anyone
think of the fact that there is no in
terne Cor resident doctor) at the City
Hospital? think many cases could
be helped and perhaps even ives
saved by having a resident physician
at the hospital. If anything goes
wrong during the night the attending
doctor has to be called and quite
some time elapses before he gets
there; meanwhile a life may be lost.
The nurses do their best, but it p OF
the greatest importance to have a
resident physician. All hospitals
which have as many patients as ours,
have. Why not Perth Amboy

DON'T BLANKET YOUR VOTE.

In considering the primary ballot
to be voted Tuesday care should be
taken that the preference one ex-
presses for the presidential candidate
at the topo of the ballot is not absolute
ly blanketed when voting for dele
gates.
1t will be noticed that the hackers of
General Wood have a complete ticket
in the field for delegates and these
Wood delegates are so designated on
the ballot. If one avors Wood for the
presidential nomination naturally one
would vote for the delegates who are
pledged to Wood. There are also
delegates pledged to Johnson. These
delegates who are pledged TO some
particular candidate are so designated
on the ballot. The voter should be
sure to make his vote for delegates
agree with his preference as expressed
at the top of the ballot.
But the only two names printed at
the top of the ballot are Wood and
johnson. The first impression is that
the contest is strictly between these
two men. This is far from the case
and the voting in New Jersey should
not be narrowed Town to these two
candidates.
The EVENING NEWS believes that
of all the candidates for the presi-
Dental nomination on the Republican
ticket Herbert Hoover is the best
qualified for the honor. The New
York Tribune, the recognized Repub-
hcan organ in hat city. says of Mr..
Hoover:
He is a progressive Republican of
the kind Roosevelt loved and
dreams Of social justice. He has
great executive ability and is capable.
If n man is, of s-ystematizing our
complicated, expensive and Inefficient
governmental machine. In his diff
cult dealings with suspicious govern
ments he has been a skillful diplomat,
and IL he reaches the White House
the government no longer will be dis
organized by monstrous lack of tact"
As Franklin w. Fort said in an adj
dress in Newark Thursday night Mr..
Hoover's experience in Europe during
the war is a basis for deep knowledge
of the national character of this coun-
try's war associates which is a quail
fication indispensable to the next
President. Since the war Mr.. Hoover
has serve in the industrial confer
ences called by President Wilson and
in this way has had an excellent OPP
portunity to learn from both capital
and labor the situation as it exists in
this country.
But Mr.. Hoover is not the only other
candidate besides Wood and johnson
who is seeking the nomination, Gov
ernor Frank o. Lowden. of Illinois.

Just captured the entire delegation
from the state of Iowa. Then there is
senator Warren G. Harding, who rep
PRESENTS what might be called the ex-
IRENE conservative and stand-pat ele-
ment in the Republican party.
Any voter who desires to express
his preference for one or the other of
these candidates whose name is not
already printed on the ballot has only
to write in the name OF the man he
prefers on the blank line under the
two printed names. and put an *" in
the square opposite the name thus
written in.
But il such action is taken care must
be exercised in voting for delegates
who at least are not pledged to some
other man. Among the delegates at
large the Two United States senators,
F~relinghuysen and Edge rave pledged
themselves TO vote for whoever the
preference vote shows the majority of
New Jersey Republicans favor. Among
the district delegates Ferd Garretson
and Lewis s. Thompson have also
taken the same stand. They refuse TO
tie themselves up to any n candi-
date until they have received their
%intructions from the Republican
voters. This is as it should be and is
entirely in keeping with the spirit of
the primary law. Elect men for dele
gates who will carry out your instruc-
tions at the convention.
In the Democratic primary the dele
gates will doubtless vote for Governor
Edwards as long as his name is before
the convention. The principal fight at
the primary Tuesday is between
Senator Brown and County Clerk
Cannon as to which one shall go to
San Francisco as delegate from this
district. There are two delegates TO
be chosen, however. and it is possible
to send both of them, but Melvin A.
Rice, of Monmouth county, is ais in
the delegate ace and as n delegate
s. usually chosen from each county it
seems to be taken for granted that
Rice will be named leaving the other
delegate to be fought out between
Brown and Cannon.
OF course, Rice will receive prac-
ically the unanimous vote of the Mon
mouth Democrats and. with a reason-
lble amount of support in Middlesex
Ocean counties, he ought to win
easily.
The situation between Brown and
Cannon is well known IN this section.
It is an old feud that m to the

Edna Goodrich in "sleeping Partners

~ ," oh,NPth6
Beautiful Edna Goodrich, herself,
the only star of nationwide reputation
to go on tom this season, will appear
at the Majestic on Tuesday, April 81,
for an engagement of one matinee and
night. Although the day of the travel
ling star seems to have passed there
still remains the desire to see a
beautiful woman whose photograph
appeal has been felt through the
movies and in the present instance
theatre-goers will have the %opportun-
ity to see an actress whose co-star-
ring tours with Nat G. Goodwin won
her international fame and whose en-
gagement in pictures with the Mutual
endeared her TO thousands who fol-
low the photoplay. The management
guarantees that Miss Goodrich will
personally appear here n hat the
original production of Sleeping Part
ners'' which was used during the run
of seven months in New York will be
seen in the local presentation. There
are no number two" companies of
Sleeping Partners" Miss Goodrich
has bought the exclusive rights for
the United States and Canada and
will cover the most important cities
this season. After that she may lease
it to another star.
Sleeping Partners is now a sub
~stantial success in Paris. london and
New York. The translation into Eng
lish is by Seymour Hicks who is still
playing in the London production. 1t
had a record of seven months of sue
cess at the Bijou Theater, New York
and has never been seen in this coun-
try outside of that city and Chicago.
1t is said to be very French, somewhat
risque. full of daring lines, which the
translator has dared to retain in the
American text. Yet it is never often
sive and in all teaches a wholesome
lesson that a girl of seventeen or
eighteen can safely expound to her
grandmother.
