ONLY CITIZENS SHOULD VOTE

ONLY CITIZENS SHOULD VOTE
1t Will be a surprise to a great
many people to learn from the reso-
luton introduced in the legislature
by Assemblyman Warner that per-
sons who are not fun fedged citizens
of the United States are permitted
to vote for presidential electors, sem
ators and congressman in some
states. MIR. Warner would ave an
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton making 1t necessary for q per-
son to be a citizen of this country IN
order to enjoy such a privilege.
1t seems hat in some states any
foreign born person who has reached
the voting age and who has taken
out first papers with the intention Of
election of federal offices. These
people are not citizens of this
try; in fact, it may be possible for a
person who never intends to become
q citizen TO come here, take out first
papers and AXE part in the election
of our president, senators and con-
gressmen. They may later return to
their old country and to their old
allegiance without any question be-
ing raised.
When we think of the thousands
of Intelligent young men who have
reached the age of eighteen or TWEEN
ty and who are still deprived of the
privilege of voting, the idea of hay
ing any number of foreigners partic-
tpating La our federal elections on
the mere declaration OF their iuten-
tion OF becoming a citizens, 1t Is ap-
parent that there Is something
radically wrong. We are glad to
welcome the immigrant Who
"a o,r aNoTC5 -
IN every -Htention of
4aing his home here and becoming
an American citizen, but the most
that he can expect is to wait until
he has actually become a citizen be-
fore he participates in our govern
ment Affairs
Assemblyman Warmers resolution
has great merit. The fact that 1t
applies to only certain states and not
to the whole country is all the more
reason why it should be ~favorably
received not only at Trenton but at
Washington as well. To permit for
eigners In one state to vote after
securing only the first papers while
the foreigners In other states have
to walt until they are sworn in as
actual citizens before they can vote
is decidedly unfair all around. 1t Is
a wonder that such action as Assem-
blyman Warner proposes was not
taken long ago.

PUBLIC OPINION
THE BUSES

Editor EVENING NEWS:
I think 1t Is time that the city
fathers woke up to the fact that the
bus lines are not being operated in the
proper manner 1t is plain to be seen
that much can be learned from the
manner in which the buses are OPP
Grated in Woodbridge.
Buses in Woodbridge are made to
run at a rate of speed that is not
dangerous to the passengers and q
man or woman riding in buses do
not take their lives in their hands
each time they enter the conveyance.
Under the original arrangements in
Perth Amboy, persons who did not
have permits when the ordinance was
put into effect could not operate a
bus on the Carteret route except if one
of the bus owners gave up. At the
present time, however. there Is a 0us
running on this route the owner Of
which was not running to these points
at the time the ordinance was drawn
or Mayor Dorsey signed the ordinances.
There are also two extra buses Up
Grating on thus line which were not
running when the ordinances went
into effect and the Woodbridge peo-
pie do not like this state of affairs
and will probably stop those cars.
Woodbridge township should be given
a fair chance for if Woodbridge want
ed to be a hog she need not let any
bus go through her township roads.
The councilman of Roosevelt are al
so exceedingly nice to the bus owners
here in Perth Amboy. One of the
first improvements that would bene-
fit the city rs we'll as the bus wner
and drivers would. be the locating OF
the starting point of the buses from
some other street than the one used
at present. The steep hill down
which the heavy buses have to go be-
fore they make the sharp turn means
not only that 1t cuts the tires out, but
some day a bus will upset on this steep
incline blocking traffic and probably
injuring passengers. In wet weather,
this fact is particularly true.
The buses here are operated at too
great a speed and not enough care is
shown by the drivers in handling the
passengers. Sometimes the driver VIII
start the bus before the people have
time to get on or off. n in this case
it means that someone gets hurt.
Just n few days 90, q story was pub
lished in the EVENING NEWS to the
effect That a mother and baby had
been injured while alighting from tho
bus because the driver had failed to
stop the bus long enough for the peo-
pie to alight. 1t would seem that this
condition of affairs could be easily
remedied.
Another thing that seems hardly
fair is the fact that a few days ago
a certain local bus owner had Il case
in court against the Public Service
Railway Company and the local bus
starter, Mr.. George Walker, testified
in the interest of the trolley company.
1t hardly seems fair hat a man who
is being paid by the city to aid in the
operation of the buses and who re-
ceives $40 a month Indirectly from
the bus owners should play into the
hands of the Public Service Company.
Very truly yours,
A BUS OWNER.

Where two or three women are
gathered together. some woman who
is a mutual friend Is getting a nice

Why Is it that a woman who runs
to red hats, purple waists, green
skirts and pink stockings. tmagines
that IL is up to her to buy her nus

The difference between the slim
Ones and the Corn Feds Is that the

A married woman has an Idea that
her husband would like to hirt with
every pretty girl he Sees. And the
/ trouble is that she is usually right.
Another reason for knee-high skirts
is thai there isn't much use having
silk stockings If your skirt comes
clear down to your shoe top.
Marriage is something that can
turn a Love Sick couple into a couple
who are SICK of Love.
What doth 1t profit a woman to go
to Church on Sunday when she re-

Thirty years ago when a small boy
saw his big sister carry the wash tub
into the kitchen on Saturday after

to go out and take a walk for an hour

When a Caterpillar gets SO old, 1t

When some men give their old

Why is 1t hat the woman who

GIMBEL CHORAL IN CONCERT
Excellent Program at semlannusI
Appearance at Bellevue -Stratford

The spring concert Of the Gimbel
Choral Society was given at the Belle
vue- Stratford Hotel last evening. The
chorus shows an improvement over its
work of the last concert so great as to
be literally astounding. The balance
of the parts was excellent and the
choral has that most rare thing among
mixed choruses-an adequate tenor sec
tion. The BASES also were very good.
1t is seldom, indeed that mixed chorus
has proper balance of the male voices
as compared with the soprano and alto
parts.
The conductor, Stanley Muschamp,
selected his program. with due regard
both to the musical interest of the num-
bers and to the 'singability" of the
parts, with the result that all Of them
were adequately rendered and made an
excellent impression. Not the least, i'm
proyement noticed was that of tone
quality. which was free in production
and generally good in, timbre. The one
questionable number on the program
was the male choral arrangement of
Pinsuti's Good Night, Good Night,
Beloved" one of the real gems Of mixed
chorus composition; but hopeessly in
adequate as a male chorus. with such
mixed chorus as Mr.. Muschamp now
has, the work would have been far more
effective in its original form.

"SiIk" From Pulp,

Fifteen million pairs of "silk" stock ingS. the product of forests. were sent out of the United States last year to compete with the product of the ori- ental SilkwOrm.
 The process by which the forests are turned into silk stockings is a comparatively simple one. Wood pulp :s treated with caustic soda to form a sodium celulose, and then dissolved in carbon disulphide. The artificial product has a greater brilliancy than natural silk, but is somewhat harsher to the touch.
 It is now used. not only for hosiery, but for dress trimmings, upholsteries and rugs. for insulating electric wire, and making durable mantles for in- candescent lights. The artificial silks exported by the states go to all parts of the world, and actually invade the countries in which natural silk is pro- duced. including China, Japan, and Italy, the chief silk producing coun- tries of the world.

Er;esson Souoht Power From Sun.

Ericsson Sought Power From Sun. To Americans perhaps the most in-
 teresting of all experimenters in this
 field of vast promise was John
 Ericsson. the engineer who invented
 the Monitor in the Civil war. Ericsson, man of great scientific i'm agination, was early caught by the
 lure of the sun-power scheme and he devoted several years of effect to 1t.
 It is said that he spent upwards of S1OO.OOO in an effort to perfect some
 mechanism for harnessing the suns
 energy. Ericsson estimated that the trapping of the suns energy in the Mojave desert alone would furnish
 enough power to run all the factories
 and shops of the United States. He
 wrote:
 "A couple of thousand years, per haps much less, dropped in the ocean
 of time will completely exhaust the
 worlds coal fields and leave man des-
 titute of his chief source of fuel and
 power unless in the meantime he finds i way of employing the heat of the
 sun."
 Ericsson invented seven different forms of sun motors. all sucreSSful in a small way. but the fires of his genius were dying down. and he was
 unable to bring his plans to the state of perfection required.
