A REGRETTABLE DEFEAT.

1t was a sad day for the country when Champ
Clark was defeated for congress in Missouri.
While the Missouri statesman may have had his
faults. he was a real leader and as speaker
OF the House he won an enviable reputation.
But the most regrettable thing about his
defeat is the fact that no one is left in the lower
house of congress to lead the minority but the
Honorable Claude kitchin. of Scotland Neck,
North Carolina. Kitchin is the man who not
only opposed all the active war measures lead
ing up to the United States entering the con-
tiict. but it was he who put across the present
atrocious tax law, telling his constituents in the
South that they had little to fear. that 1t had
been so arranged that most of the cost of the
war would be saddled on the North.
Kitchin is about as small a speciman of a con-
gresham as it is possible to find and to think
that the Democratic party must rely on him as
it's leader during one of the most important ses-
sions of congress ever held is most discouraging
to all who believe that a live, aggressive
minority is always a good thing at all times, but
especially in congress. y

standing behind every other organization that
exists in the city.
The forum held under the auspices OF the
Chamber of Commerce in the city hall Thurs
day night was only a beginning. 1t was a
fne thing to see even thirty people gathered
together to talk over one OF the important fea-
lures Of municipal Development. 1t was an in
t~eresting meeting.
A the next forum there ought to be still
more to turn out. From the discussions that
take place much of value can be obtained. Those
who have a kick coming can find a place to air
their views. II things are not what they ought
to be. let them be threshed out at these forum
meetings and an effort made to remedy them.
That is the only way we can get anywhere
as a municipality.
Through a unity of spirit and real. progress
sive work there is no limit to what can be
done for Perth Amboy. The Chamber of Com
merce offers the opportunity to transform into
acts the thought that we so often express to each
other.

EXCESSIVE ELECTION EXPENSES.

1t is declared to be necessary for Middlesex
county to issue bonds to raise money for the
deficit in election expenses this year. Many
features entered into the cost Of the election.
The fact that the electorate was about double
that of any previous year was perhaps the prin-
cipal cause. But this increase in the number
OF voters is permanent and we must reckon ac-
cordingly.
1t is apparent that there are many extrava-
gances that may be cut out and many savings
possible in the proper handling Of the elections.
Under former conditions these excuses might
DE overlooked but today when the cost of cleo
tions is running up to a hundred thousand dol
lars or more it is time to scrutinize the various
bills and expenses to see where some pruning
can be done.
We are sure that the cost of conducting the
elections can be reduced considerably II those
In the charge will make a business of going into
the matter. With something like a thirty thou
sand deficit this year and with the prospect
of an appropriation OF 500. 900 in next years
budget for election expenses something ought to
be done toward economy.
Tax rates are already excessive and there
is every prospect of still higher taxes next year.
Something is due the taxpayers in the way Of
saving money in conducting the general cleo
tons.

and should be killed, while their
pelts have recently brought from 60
to 10 cents apiece.
Q. What is the cost to keep the
League of Nations functioning?-
NJ. L. X.
A. The budget approved by the
Council of the League of Nations
for next year calls for the sum of
$500, 900 monthly.
@. How much did it cost the
United States a day for the war;
H. H.
A. 1t cost this country about
$24, 900 a day for the time 1t was
engaged in the World War.
Q. Why do some leaves turn yell
low and some red in the fall?-J. ID.
S.
A. The colors of the leaves in the
fall depend upon the chemical con-,
tents of the tree. When the leaves
begin to turn this is a sign that they
are returning to the body of the
tree any food matter. contained in
them. All that remains in the cell
cavities of the leaf is a watery sub
stance in which a few oil globules
and crystals and a small number of
yellow, strongly retroactive bodies can
be seen. This gives the yellow color.
In some trees there is more sugar
in the leaf than readily goes back
into the trunk of the tree. This
gives the red color.
Q. Is a sack merely another name
for a bag, or is it a of ca
pacity?-N. NJ. L.
A. Sack" has both meanings. 1t
is often used to indicate a bag. but
it is also a measure. In this capacity
1t has differed so radically in differ
ent countries, for different commod-
tiles and at different times that its
value as a measure has suffered.
q. How ear emery be tested?-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-11-20

nett" we found that the fireman,
who also attended several other
plants, piled the coal up to the fire
door, SO that 1t was impossible to
get air through the fire-bed. The
fire la ythere and smouldered for
hours. The plant was inefficient
and it was almost impossible to
keep the Office warm. If this fire
had been fired properly it would
have given ample heat and no smoke
1t the same time"
In his recommendations for cur
ing smoke nuisance in Salt Lake
City, Mr.. Monnett advocated the
creation of d municipal smoke COM
mission, consisting of engineers.
authorized to inspect the heating
heating plants. even in residences,
should be passed upon by this COM
mission. he believes. and old plants
should be brought up to an eff
cheney basis by proper installations
and supervisions. A law requiring
the operators of boilers to be Ii
censed would also be a desirable
thing, he suggested, not only to re-
duce the amount of smoke, but to
promote the safety of the public
from boiler explosion. He also
urged the use of gas and electric
ity for cooking in place of coal.
These recommendations have been
listened to with great attention and
respect by Salt Lake City. No ac-
ton has been taken concerning them
as yet, but the city authorities hope
that the legislature will put the
recommendations into law before
very long. 1t will cost at least ff-
teen thousand dollars to have
brand new smoke commission, and
the expense to individual house.
holders for the repair of their heat
ing plants will also be considerable.
In the meantime the proposition
Is being held up by some expert
ments which tend to show that the
use of oil shale with coal prevents
smoke. For oil shale in Utah is
cheaper than artificial heating equip
ment.
Other cities, including Pittsburgh
and others of the Middle West, are
much interested in the results of Mr..
Monnett's investigation, however,
and it is believed by many fuel ex-
perts that it has shed a greater light
on the smoke problem than n
other smoke investigation.

Luke McLuke Says
:. mother thing about Woman Suffrage is that
same family.
They claim that the paper clothes made by
the Germans wear we'll and are much cheaper
than the Cottonwood kind. But IL they are
are so doggone cheap.
The reason why a woman gets by with a hand
kerchief as big as a postage stamp is because
you never see her blow her nose as if she
meant 1t.
The old-fashioned woman who used to have
to roast the beans and then grind them before
she made the morning coffee, now has a grand
daughter who is too lazy to percolate the bever-
age.
And the o. (. woman who wouldn't live in a
house unless there was a closet in every room
now has a daughter who is tickled to death If
she can manage to rent a closet to live in.
The fatter a woman gets, the more she likes
to recall what a slender little thing she was
before she got married.
"A woman doesn't care much what an article
is worth so long as the price ends in eighty
seven cents or ninety-eight cents.
Another tough thing about prohibition is the
penalty of having to buy a round of drinks for
your friends with booze at so cents per drink.
The man who is smart enough to know that
he can't buy a genuine diamond for a dollar
imaglnes that he can get $4,000 worth of oil
well stock for rs cents.
The narrow-minded zealot who sends mis-
sionaries to reform You gets mad if you send
missionaries to reform Him.
There may be a scarcity in other things.
But there are always enough Poor Relations TO
go around.
Why doesn't some man invent a chin rest
to be attached to tables so that some men can
eat their meals in comfort?
If you have sense enough to sit around and
keep your mouth shut and let other people do
the talking. they'll all come to you for advice.
Nobody likes a kicker. Yet If 1t wasn't for the
Kicker. service wouldn't be half as good as it is.

TO BOOST THE WHOLE CITY.

1t could hardly be called a large meeting that
the Chamber of held in the city
hall Thursday night. but those who were there
showed a great deal of interest in the subject
under discussion and put the organization on
record in favor of an extension of the play
ground system for the next year and the adop-
ton of a city plan.
A great many of the men and women who

The city which they call home were conspicuous
by their absence. but with so many meetings
going on every night those who are the most
active find it hard to attend all of them. 1t was
hoped. however, that this being the first forum
conducted by the recognized Chamber of Com
merce and the fact that the new secretary was to
make his first appearance. those who had en-
gagements elsewhere would have given the
Chamber of Commerce meeting the preference.

ENFORCING THE LAW.

Prohibition enforcement officers have been in
structed to prosecute persons selling hops and
malt in connection with other ingredients for the
nome manufacture of beer. This has given rise
TO some criticism.
But it is merely enforcement of a law.
The Volstead act prohibits the sale of ingre-
dients intended for the manufacture of intoxicat-
ing liquors. 1t prohibits the manufacture.
The latest instruction merely reiterates what
already is written upon the statute books Of the
country. If it is displeasing to a majority Of the
citizens there is but one thing to be done about
the matter: Repeal the Volstead act. The law
should be enforced. II reinforcement is de-
sired but one way is open: Repeal of the law.
Increased majorities against the liquor traffic
registered in recent elections. however. would
indicate that the majority OF Americans are not
in favor of repeating the prohibition enforce
ment legislation. Very we'll. then. enforce II!
That is legal. and it is justice. for the will Of the
majority in America is law.
