SAME L FERRY.

With the state highway bridge
across the Raritan river closed TO
vehicular trafhc the Staten Island
ferry Is not kept so much in the pub
lie eye as formerly but the closing of
the bridge has made no difference TO
the large number of people of this
vicinity who use the ferry daily CO.
ing back and forth to work. 1t is
strange that something cannot be
done to make conditions better. It
looks as if Staten Island was at the
of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road which controls the Staten Is
land Rapid Transit, and that nothing
can be done there TO which the b.
q o. objects Railroad domination
Of this kind Is largely a thing Of the
past in most sections Of the country.
II is about time for Staten Island to
assert her independence. Once the
obstruction of the Staten Island
Rapid Transit can be overcome it will
not take long to have a new ferry in
operation

m WOMEN HAD VOTED

In view of the opinions expressed
BY some Of the leading suffragists of
this city regarding women voting, We
cannot help but wonder what the re-
salt OF the commission government
election, held a week ago today,
would have been If the women had
been able to participate in that cleo
tion. Politics. W. are sure, would
not have influenced them very much.
With the welfare OF the city only
in mind there is reason to believe
they would have gone to the polls
and put commission government
across.
The next time it is tried the wom-
en- will have the ballet and the res
suit. we believe, viii be decidedly
different. Women may not be so
greatly interested in state and ma
tional affairs. but they are interested
IN hew things are done at home and
they can be counted en- TO take great
interest in all municipal elections.

THE PIETY THAT RARKs
BY DR.. JAMES 1. n

BI Dlf. AMr 4. tANNE
Religion should make people more
comfortable to live with. Unsertu-
nately it does not always do so.
The very essence of Christianity
IS consideration for others. If a
mans religion does not help
him to be a gentleman, he would
best throw it away and try a new
brand. If one is not decent enough
to be polite, it may be doubted
whether he is pious enough to be
thought of when the roll Is called.
And yet the sad thing is. piety
often gets a black eye because some
people who affect to be pious are so
downright d~isagreeable. They make
things mighty uncomfortable for
others. They feel called On to speak
their minds. and the minds they
speak are SO nasty. They say things
that leave a sting. They are Like
the Scotehman's dog: Life was full
of seriousness to him. He could
Just never get enough of fightin'."
So there are people who are very
auarrelsome, and imagine they are
very serious. They r badly fooled
in themselves. They have the piety
that banks. and sometimes bites.
People have feelings. 1t is about
all some people have-just feelings.
The girl at your counter has feel
mgs. Why should you PLAY the bear
toward her? The maid in your
home has feelings. Why should you
feel that the difference in station Ii
eenses YOU to be everbearing toward
her? The clerk in your office has
feelings. What coed does it dc yeu
to be such a brute as to make his
cheeks burn and his heart hate
whenever he thinks Of his em-
ployer?
i am not pleading for mush and
! slush and gush. l am not adyoeat-
ing the lowering of discipline, nor
urging familiarity. l am merely ask
ing that we remember that people
are human, and that the Golden
Rule is not a bad thing to prae-
tiee.
This barking piety reacts. 1t is a
boomerang. 1t will spoil the\day
for you as well as for your victim.
You cannot stale another's joy with
eut that the same blow has wound
ed your own.
And this gracious piety has a re-
action. You nourish your own hap
piness as you minister TO the happi-
ness of others.
There would be less friction in
life, less trouble between employer
and employed. less throat-cutting
between capital and labor. If we
could substitute the piety of the
Golden Rule for the piety of the
dog-kennel. Whatsoever We would
that men should do to you, dc We
even so to them."

HIS OWN MEDICINE

Once there was a man who prided
himself on being frank and out
spoken.
He thought it was eemmeHdable
TO say unkind and tactless things
lust because they had popped into
his head.
He imagined people admired him
for this, whereas they really dread
ed meeting him and avoided him
whenever 1t was possible.
He didn't realize that there are
many times when it is better 70
keep quiet than to make tactless re-
marks.
So he kept on making them, and
people grew 40 like him less and less
and evaded him more and more.
AS is usual with people of this
kind, he was very easily offended.
An ACQUAINTANCE. knowing this,
decided to see hew he liked his own
medicine.
The first time this acquaintance
had an opportunity, he said some
very biting truths.
The man locked at him in amaze
ment and became very angry.
But he soon saw the point.
He realized how he had rudely
and theughtlessly hurt many peo-
pie.
He admitted to himself that he
was glad others bad net been az
frank as himself.
Being. after all, rather a good
sort, he was ashamed.
He stopped being SO anxious to
give his own frank opinion OF every
thing and everybody.
He saw that one may be taetful
and honest at the same time.
He discovered that the person
with tact has many fFiends, whils
the taetless has noae.

FOOD FOR

The following editorial published
in the Newark Sunday Call last Sun
day is intended primarily for Essex
county. but 1t il worthy of the care-
full attention of all governing bodies
that have the awarding of paving
contracts. We particularly commend
it to Middlesex Board Of Freeholders
and the Board of Aldermen of Perth
Amboy. The editorial follows;
Chosen Freebooter Hicks has
lately voted to award contracts for
paving Essex county roads with pat
ented Pavements at an outlay OF
about $1,e0o,0 o He said a week
age he was convinced that they were
best, but he would be willing to have
. short stretch Of concrete road laid
here as an experiment. As this un-
patented pavement has been laid in
every state In the eeuntry 1t would
seem that Mr.. Hicks might be able
to learn positively how good and
durable II Is without putting it to a
special test in Essex county.
Besides he can fRd two miles OF
1t in Ridgewood avenue, Glen Ridge,
that was laid three OF four years aga,
and il showing little or nc wear to-
day. Just north of II on the same ave.
nue. is m mile of patented pavement
which was laid after the concrete
was put down. MI, Hicks probably
knows that Glen Ridge ofacials en-
treated the chosen freeholders to put
concrete where the patented pave
ment lies and the county officials
cheese rather to expend more than as
much for n mile OF the Natienal
pavement as the borough paid for
two miles of concrete. And the lat
ter today is in at least as good con-
dition as the more costly National.
Again, IL Mr.. Hicks is seeking a
test let him ride owe the road run
ming from Haekettstown to Little
Washington, in Warren county. he
will be jelted over miles of rough
and shattered amiesite. a patented
pavement, and then come upon a
mile of concrete that Is in perfect
condition. though laid several years
ago, before the amiesite was put
down. IL he desires to pursue his
Investigation further let him 90 to
Bethlehem. Pa. and view the Goa
crete pavement there.
"A new test in Essex county would
take time. and meanwhile ether paw
ing contracts costing a millien dol
lars might be given out by Mr.. Hicks
and his colleagues TO the patent
pavement men. The latter have had
fat jobs hereabouts long enough. and
1t is now high time to deal with the
IeeuRty paving problem with mere re-
gard 10 the interests OF the people
who must pay for the improve
menta"

 A public health committee of the Diet reported prohibition for Poland was impracticublc at this time owing to the virtual impoSSibility of prohib- ting the manufacture of alcoholic li- Quors. The committee however favored passage of regulations which would prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquor to men of ,hc Polish army so long as Poland was at war with Soviet Rus Sia.
