Paul DGUiS Tells
Where He Stands

II am elected prosecuting attor-
ney I will see to 1t that none OF
the taxpayers money is unlawfully
appropriated and l will diligently
prosecute any one who spends the
county,s money without legal au-
thority, regardless of whether he is
on my sids OF the political fence or
not
believe that an aggressive inyesti-
cation by the prosecutor OF the man
ner in which the public money is
spent will result in a more ecenomi-
cal administration of our public
Affairs and to the end that we may
have lower taxes In this county, I
viii, IL elected, thoroughly inyesti-
gate the manner In which money is
paid out of the public treasury.
This year the tax rate for Center

benefits that a prosecutor can bring
to the county IS zealously to watch
the money that is spent and the in
dehtedness th~t Is incurred upon be-
half of the public.

any individual brings to my atten-

money IS being spent in violation OF
law, / viii consider it the most ia-
portant business Of the grand jury

all who violate the confidence OF the
people by uniawfully spending the

CRANBURY FIRST, OF COURSE.

OF course. when 1t comes to a
choice etwee Perth Amboy and
Craubury, the latter must naturally
rank arst in the matter of importance
as far as the county is concerned.
Perth Amboy Is only the largest city
in the county and contributes merely

county tax. so that Of course, when it
comes to bucEing up against the
great metropolis OF Cranbury it is

Freeholders to i'll the vacancy caused

Venus, Mars And Moon

Sendjng wireless messages to Mars

projecting a rocket to the moon, are
subjects of recent speculation when

Mars always challenges interest,
saws William Joseph Showalter In a
communication to the National Geo.
graphic Society.
Its day is about the same length
as ours, but its year is nearly twice
as long. Although astronomers gem
orally take less interest than laymen
in the surmise as to whether other
planets. and stars are lnhaplieo'
since they, more han isymen, realize
that this is a problem that u IN
all human probability remain I'M
solved, the question is more often
asked about Mars than any other
planet.

at is quite generally believed that
Mars has ~ice-capped poles. The tel

poles that have every appearance or
being like our ocean Polar region.
They advance toward the equator in
winter and retreat in summer. In
the summer of 1916 Pickering, VINO,
with Lowell, has led the school OF
astronomers who believe they can see
canals on Mars, said that he found
the white caps stretching farthef
down toward the equator than ne

"He said that If there was any
connection between the weather or
Mars and that of the earth, the VIM
ter Of 1916-17 would be the coldest
in many years. And it was. MAY II

weather forecasting on the earth by

large pinhead at a distance of S27

sized tangerine a quarter of a mile
distant will stand for Jupiter. A
small lemon at two-fifths of a mile
will play the role of Saturn. a large
cherry three-fourths of o mile distant

The Manchester Guardian has done

the entry of Ita.y into the war and
let's that country into a share of the
spoil. At tina time Greece was still
neutral. The entry of Greece changed
things, The Greeks are now in
possession of Smyrna and the settle
ment between them and the Italians
is still to be made.
OF major Importance is the evidence
of the s%elhshness back Of the making
OF these agreements. On this the
Manchester Guardian says:
while the people were being told
that this was a war entered on with
no selfish or imperialistic aims, the
statesmen who were saying this were
all the time carving up enemy's terri
tory among themselves. While the
young men died for Justice. inter
nationaiisIn, and a new world the
elder politicians were busy at the old
game. While every sensible man saw
the extreme danger to civilization
the directors of affairs were deeply
committing themselves to the pro-
iongation and e~xacerbation of national
Pivalries.
IA true international settlement
would have known nothing of these
spheres of interest. There were mo-
ments st the MONDAY of President
Wilson'S influence, when such things
seemed possible. General SHUTS, who
alone grasped the necessity OF
clothing the Presidents just prin-
oiplea with concrete application, OBJ
tanned the insertion In the covenant
OF the league of Article 23, which
prevents all exclusive possession of
former enemy territory, but allows
individual powers to act as manda-
tories of the league. " . On paper
this scheme provides considerable
safeguards for the international idea.
