To clear ones sidewalk is a duty

This reminds us of the many va

by persons living out Of town. These
people are holding these lots, paying
little or no tax on them because they

the only thanks the people get Is a

deep snow later on to be turned into
slush. The least these landholders
a do Is keep their sidewalks clean.

life that he admittedly has the finest
memory Of any business man in the
country.
In nine days examination during
the governments suit against the Steel

everybody by answering thousands
upon thousands of questions of every
conceivable variety without having to

"How can a young man start to

''The best foundations on which to
build a strong memory Is to cultivate
a capacity of work. Good habits also
contribute to a good memory; care

Understand It, the matron would de-
vote her time at police headquarters
seeing that any female prisoners that
night be confined there are properly
AIRED for, whereas a policewoman
would be mainly on the street and
about the city trying to prevent
and girls from going wrong
and arrestlng those who do go wrong,
But unless some other law be
found authorizing the appointment OF
a policewoman it looks as If the city
would have to wait because the law
of 1918 providing for p~olicewomen
was repealed In 1917. However, there
is much that G pima can do ever
without this law and there is really
no reason why she should not be DO
ing It.
It would seem. however, that the
first essential Is to hay a suitable
person for matron at police head
quarters. The city lookup is a de-

Is little short of a crime to conflne a
woman there no matter what her
offense may be. With q motherly
M always on hand to give what
comfort and consolation Is possible
under the circumstances, we believe
much Of the distress could be allevi-
ated. No doubt this Is one of the
things the Woman's Club had IN
mind when recommending that a
police matron be appointed, and it
is what some of the aldermen had in
mind in taking the matter UP.
1t Is pointed out that the resolu-
ton providing for the appointment
Of a police matron stated hat the
person holding the position was also
to act as secretary to the chief CT
police and do such other work IS
the chief might assign to her. The
idea was hat this other work that
the chief might assign would be do
ing welfare work among the young
and girls of the city, so hat
while the official title of the office
would be that of matron and secre-
tary to the chief Of police, in reality
there would be much outside work
accomplished. AS long as the law
specifically providing for a police
woman has been repealed 1t would
seem that this is the best way to
accomplish the desired purpose.
The thing now is to get together
on a suitable person to fill the posi-
ton. This ought to be easily accom-
plished. II politics can be forgotten
and personal choice be set aside so
that only the welfare of the city Is
taken into consideration we are sure
the matter can be speedily settled.

PUING UP

The usual number of salary raising,
expense creating bills are being in
troduced in the legislature. Some
lawmakers seem to have no regard
whatever for the people they are
/ elected to represent. Their n am
bition is to help their friends into
soft berths under the government
and then pad the payroll for their
particular benefit.
If there is any one thing needed in
government today it is economy. The
awful waste and extravaganza in
public office and public works Is
most apparent. With taxes mounting
higher and higher it is time to take
a firm stand.
We do not mean to say that the
expenditure of public funds should
stop altogether. There are some
things that are necessary and no
doubt some salaries should be in
creased, although the average office
holder, particularly those holding
state jobs, is not apt to overwork
himself in earning the salary already
being paid.
Such a bill as that appropriating
$45,0 900 for the erection of an armory
at Morristown is a striking instance
of the proposed waste Of public
funds. The state is full of armories
at the present time Of little or no use
to anyone except to hold boxing
matches and exhibits in occasionally.
Why the state should go to the ex-
pense of building more such build
ings when it has no use for those
already erected is incomprehensible.
i Even Senator Browns bill appro-
priating 800, 900 for q building for
q course in ceramics at the state
university at New Brunswick with
| $4,000 a year for operating ex-
penses, Is questionable at this time.
In the first place, 1t Is practically
impossible to erect a building suita-
Bile for the purpose for any such
amount; in the second place, prices
are extremely high and are mounting
higher all the time. In these times
of inflated values and extremely high
taxes only that which is absolutely
necessary should be done. We doubt
If this ceramic building, as handi-
capped as the course may be with
u it, is so necessary that the cost
of Its construction should be added
at this time to the load the taxpayers
have to carry.
If the legislators would serve the
people this year they will put the
soft pedal on all expenditures and
! salary increases. The member of
the House or senate who makes il

ton where the expenditure of the
taxpayers money Is involved will
attract statewide attention and win
for himself lasting fame.

CIVILIZATIONS GREATEST NEED

Men who have given serious con-
sideration to the idea of bringing
about a permanent peace among
nations have realized hal the first
essential is that the people them
selves, who make up the different
nations, must understand each other.
We all must realize that our tastes
and habits are very different even
among neighbors. We sometimes
PREJUDICE u own friends and ac-
quaintances, forming very definite
opinions regarding them without
getting really acquainted with them.
Once the acquaintance has been
formed, however, and we begin to
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-02-06

understand what had seemed to US
before to be certain peculiarities. we
forget the differences that we had
allowed to grow up through a false
impression and everything moves
along peacefully and tremendously.
The same reasoning applies TO
nations as we'll as to individuals.
Some nations are made up of races
entirely different from others. What
is perfectly all right for one is utter
ly improper for another and 1t is hard
for one to see the matter from the
others viewpoint. This leads to dis
putes and misunderstanding and
these very often lead to war.
II the different nations-that Is
the people themselves who make up
the different nations-could only get
really acquainted with each other so
as to have a common understanding
nine-tenths of the friction that now
exists between countries would dis
appear. The way for them to get
acquainted is to have n common
auxiliary language to be used in
conjunction with their mother
tongue.
In great international conferences,
such as the peace conference, how
simple the proceedings would be IL
there was one auxiliary language
common to all nations in which all
of the transactions were conducted
and in which all speeches were made
so that everything that transpired
could be readily understood by every
one present whether he be q delegate
from China, Japan, France, England
or Siam.
That there is a language perfectly
feasible for such a purpose has been
clearly proven many times by the
international congresses held under
the auspices of the societies advo-
eating the language and by the r
respondence carried on in the aux
Hilary language between persons OF
different n~ationalities. This auxiliary
language known as Esperanto Is
simple to learn and readily under

circles during his formative years.
He must study while others play. His
reading must be limited very largely
