published under the name THE Sun
and New York Herald" Is not The
Sun" in the old familiar sense that
has endeared It to It's thousands of
admirers.
And the same may be said Of the
New York Herald. The new owner
may try to preserve the name by
linking It up with The Sun. but It
won't go.
BY trying TO preserve both papers
he has saved neither. A new news
paper known as 'The Sun and New
York Herald" takes the place of
these two old New York institutions.
Henceforth the fame of the Sun and
Herald will live only In history and
tradition.

Public Opinion
REGULATING THE BUSES

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Once again 1 am troubling you for
the use of some more OF the Nauabe
space in your paper. 1t would seem
that IL the Board of Aldermen of the
city of Perth Amboy make a rule it
should be lived up to. This has not
been the case in regards the operat-
ing Of the bus lines here. At the time
the ordinance went into effect 1t was
decided by the aldermen and written
into the ordinances that no more
buses could be put in operation. as
the traffic did not warrant 1t. The
only way another bus owner could get
on the line was by one of the bus
owners dropping out and
ing service.
At the present time one man who
only had one permit and later pur-
chased a permit of another owner
now has five buses operation on the
lines. All of those BUSES operate TO
Carteret. / wish it understood that
make no reference TO buses running
to South Amboy or Metuchen.
Then. too, these five buses are al
lowed to leave the starting point In no
tation each morning and ahead or AL
other buses. Why the bus starter
George Walker, should allow this Is
almost q mystery. Shortly after the
cold weather began orders came OUT
that all buses must adopt some safe
form of heating system. All OF the
bus owners did adopt heating sys-
TENS as required by the ordinance
| But the five buses operated by the
man who has only two permits are
still unheated, but are allowed TO run
| the same as those which have beer
equipped with hea systems.
Once more II would seem as If Wal
| ker shows favoritism. Why doesn't
| Walker report TO Alderman Waters
| these buses that are heatless? There
| Is a good living in the bus business for
| any one If the starter would only FOL
| low the law as set forth in the ordl-
nance. but to play favorites hurts
those who have invested about all
: their savings in their bus.
1 cannot help but feel that some
thing should be done to improve the
condition of Smith street. l am sure
that 1 am not the only person who
! fees this way about the street either
as the riding public comment on II
and it makes you feel small to be a
taxpayer in Perth Amboy. Smith
street is full of holes and these moi
! only damage the bus, but a'so makes
riding anything but safe. Except foi
the condition OF Smith street. from
Water to Prospect street, the road
conditions are fine. With Smith street
In its present condition 1t makes II
exceedingly hard for the drivers tt
/ handle the heavy cars n the loss Of
time which it is impossible to make
up. In view OF the great amount Of
traffic over this street 1t would seem
be raised to put 1t in a good condi'
ton.

The thing for us all to do Is to be
serene and happy, no matter whether
we are four and twenty or three

The Extra Ddy

February Is the monthth at acts as
regulator. 1t was a af~ter-thought with
the ancients and has been treated
like a s~tep-child ever since. Romu-
lus founder of Rome, started out with
out any February at all by dividing
the year into 10 months. including
in all only 304 days. His year started
| with March, as 1t indicated by the
| names September. October, November
| and December, taken from the Latin
forms of Seven" eight mine" and
ten" July and August, likewise,
were anciently known as Quintilis and
Sextilis, their present names having
been bestowed In compliment to JUL
| ius Caesar and Augustus, the en-
peror.
Then Numa came along n added
| two months to Romulus' year. put
ting January at the beginning and
February at the end. Next. the De-
cemvirs-the ten magistrates of Rome
busy and moved February up
to the second month, where 1t still
remains. The year then consisted of
solar year by 10 whole days and a
Traction. An extra month-known as
Mercedinus-was inserted in the cal
endar, raising the total to SS6 IA
days, but still leaving 1t incorrect.
Caesar ordered that January. March
May, July, September n November
should have 81 days n the other
months 80 excepting February. which
should have 20 days in common years
and 80 days every fourth year. But
this order was changed to crafty the
vanity of Augustus who wanted his
month to contain 81 days because
caesars did.
But Caesars reckoning was not
perfect. 1t supposed the year too
long by II minutes and IA seconds.
The error amounted to a whole day
in 12S years. Then, In 1882, Pope
Gregory gave the world the Gregor-
ian calendar, which is used today
He directed that 10 days be suppress
| ed and ordered hat the extra day be
omitted in all the centenary years
except those which are multiples OF
400. For this reason, 1900 was not a
leap year.
Even the Gregorian calendar, from
a mathematical standpoint, Is not en-
tirely correct. as its year exceeds the
true solar year by 26 seconds. which
amount TO q whole day in 1928 years

SENTIMENT ON TREATY

Members of the Chamber Of
Commerce of this city are asked to
take part in the referendum vote be-
ing conducted among business men
throughout the country by the
Chamber OF Commerce of the United
States. -Four questions are asked and
each voter Is requested to indicate a
first and second choice.
First there is the question as to
whether or not you favor the ratif-
cation of the peace treaty. including
the League of Nations covenant, ex-
actly as 1t came from Paris and as
originally submitted to the senate by
President Wilson.
Second, the question is, DO you
favor the ratification of the peace
treaty with the League OF Nations
covenant ellminated7
Third, do you favor the ratification
of the treaty on any compromise that
can command the vote Of two-thirds
of the senate?
Fourth, do you favor ratification
of the treaty with the Lodge reserva-
tions?
This vote is along the same lines
as the one taken in the colleges and
universities of the country a few
days ago. In Offering the referendum
49, fya-A1 A,,Ioxr y1apnharH Nh
Chamber Of Commerce says: You
will readily see that In a democratic
nation like ours, our senators will be
better able to understand what u
citizens want by this method"
The fact is, the senators either do
not want to know or don't care what
the citizens of the country want in
this regard. The vote thus far taken
has been overwhelmingly in favor OF
the ratification of the treaty-if not
as originally drawn. then with such
reservations as will make 1t accept
able to the necessary two-thirds OF
the senator's, but without destroying
the principle involved. Not only have
the colleges and universities gone on
record for prompt ratification. but
the churches, the American Fedora
ton OF Labor. woman's clubs, busi-
ness organizations and civic societies
generally have all petitioned the sen-
ate In favor Of prompt ratification
either as the treaty came from Paris
or with such compromise as VIII
make It acceptable to both sides.
Even a majority of Republican news
papers as we'll as the Democratic
and Independent press unite IN urging
speedy action.
Surely here IS the sentiment of tho
country pretty generally expressed
least that part of the senate under
Republican leadership and 1t does
not seem to care what the great
mass of citizens think about It.
While the referendum being taken
by the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States will help to concentrate
public pressure on he senate. there
doe not seem to be much hope. h
senator's, in their wisdom, have set
themselves up as being above the
people and they do not seem 10 care
what the will Of the citizens whom
they are supposed to represent may
be.
With the exception of Senator
Reed. of Missouri, the senators who
are at present blocking the compro-
mise program are all Republicans,
Apparently the only way the people
can make an impression on these
senators is by taking 1t out on the
party to which these senators belong
