BUDGET IN HALF
Money for Special Apparatus
and Repairs Refused

MATAWAN. Feb. 25.-Cutting the
proposed 1920 budget nearly in half
before its adoption was the principal
work of the Matawan borough coun-
ell when 1t met last night. The bud
get as approved at it's first reading
ON February 10, called for an expendi-
| ture of 2S,0S6.52. The greater part
Of this money was to be used in OBJ
tanning special apparatus and repairs
for the water works pumping sta
ton. 1t was decided at a committee
meeting held a few nights ago to raise
the necessary money to do this work
with, by a bond issue instead Of rails
ing it by taxes SO that the budget
as adopted last night, calls for ap-
preparations at cut $15,6S6.52. This
is slightly higher than last year,
which was $14,7S0.50.
Mr.. Taylor of A. p. Munning q
Company came before the Council
and said that his company obtains
it's power from the Middlesex and
Monmouth Light, Heat and Power
Company came before the council
informed the Munning company yes
terday that because Of a shortage of
coal. the company would nave to cur
tail its power and perhaps shut
down all together. In view of the
fact that man Matawan people
would be affected by the closing of
the plant because Of lack of power,
the council decided to work with A.
p. Munning q Company and go be-
fore the Public Utilities Commission
and see If coal can be obtained for
the power company so that the fac
tories may be kept in operation.

pany of Perth Amboy a letter was
received from the furniture company |
to the affect that it's truck had not

Lauds Catholic Soldiers.

Looked at from a purely economic
point of view the proposed amendment
would be equally unwise. In Detroit
alone between 10000 and $4,000 chill
dren attend parochial and private
schools, and in the whole state over
$4,000 children attend these schools.
If schools of this character through
out the state were closed, in many
localities it would be impossible for
a long time to provide school room
accommodations for them. The pass
ing of the proposed amendment would
cause the practical destruction of over
$100, 100000 of property now used for
school purposes in the state. Build
ing the new schools required at pub
lie expense would cause an enormous
increase in taxes.
Again leaving entirely out of con-
sideration the foregoing facts, can We
forget that the people at whom the
proposed amendment is aimed furnish
ed one million soldiers for this coun-
try in the great world war from the
effects of which the world will scarce
ly recover in 100 years? Who fought
more valiantly than they, or who re-
sponded quicker to their countrys
call?
Believes 1t Unconstitutional.
81 am not a Catholic, nor yet a
Lutheran, nor an Adventist, nor a
Jew, having as matter of fact been
brought up in the teachings of the
Methodist church. However, I would
be sorry indeed to have any religious
feelings whatever dominate my posi-
ton or my vote in a matter of this
character. ,. ..,...,
Besides all this, as lawyer It Is
my view that the proposed amend
| ment would not be constitutional ever
if it were passed and therefore it has
no place on the ballot. However, as
to that point, I think the matter
should be referred to the attorney gen
erals department for investigation
and report. " .

And out in dazzling frolic waters
bound,
As to divinity my poor soul kneels,-

mound.
In lone corner ruby shadows foam,
For 'gainst the stones the waves, toe
meddling drive;
Yet shall l hold my gaze despite the
wind,
Yet shall I, chickering's rife, joy-gifts
derive.
O noise-resisting spot, soothing, re-
fined
flushed in enchantment, swarming
sparklets play
A game prolonged of cit, and fit, and

Like tapers in an inner shrine in

Patter of hoofs, and church bells RIO

Enough the daylight and it's waters

THE WORTHLESS" BOY.

pie of boys neighborhood are the
first to learn that he is worthless. A
little later his sisters find 1t out.
Eventually his father discovers it.
But his mother never does?"
Exactly; the boys mother never
finds it out because she unerringly

CULTIVATlNG A GARDEN Is ONE
OF THE DELIGHTS OF
SEASON.

Spring with it's balmy freshness in
vites mankind again to seek outdoor
life and to enjoy the beauties of ma
ture After months pent up in houses
man welcomes the glorious opportuni-
ty to drink in the fresh air, to tread
again the greenWard, and to listen to
the music of the birds. But to the
city dweller, who loves to cultivate
small plot of ground which he calls
his garden, Spring is a season of pro-
prietary delights in which he revels.
Now he can employ the lengthen-
ing evenings in cultivating the soil
which will later yield him rich reve-
nues in food products. incidentally
this helps him to solve the question
of the cost of living. This, however,
is merely secondary to the returns it
brings him in health and happiness.
For he has hobby that occupies his
mind and body, keeps him in the
open air, assures him of untroubied
repose by night and increased activity
by day.
Happy the man who has a garden.
He hurries home from office or shop,
from factory or mill, that he may
save some precious minutes for his
evening recreation. AssiduOusly he
does his daily "bit," exchanges greet
ings with the passersby, and reports
progress across the fence to his next
door neighbor.
Others may shut themselves up for
the evening in the close atmosphere
of the neighboring picture house, but
he is witnessing the silent drama of
birth and life and decay that mother
nature is unfolding for him in his
own little earth plot. With pride he
sees the work of his hands flower and
give promise of abundant harvest.

HOW CATHOLICS BECOME So
CIAiiSTS.

The national convention of the So
cialist Party of America, assembled
in New York recently, heard an inter
esting debate on the subject of re-
ligion. The upshot was, to dodge the
religious question as one of inexpedi-
ency, whilst affirming the intrinsic
hostility of Socialism to Christianity.
One Joseph H. Mcintyre, of Wash
ingtOn, d. c., who told the gathering
that he had left the Catholic Church,
had this to say, notes America:
Il am the father of six children, and
none of them go (sic) to church. So
cialist literature has opened my eyes.
If we put religion into our platform
we will get into religious discussion
and forget all about Socialism. Get
the voters first and talk religion out
of them afterwards
We know that many Catholics main
tain that there is nothing incompati-
BILE with the teachings of Christianity
in the doctrines of MARKHAM Socialism !;
but we also know that these Catholics
deterministic philosophy on which
MARKHAM Socialism is built. They are
content to take it as mere political
or economic plan, potent, it may be, to
relieve the world of many ills. They
reck little of it's deeper meaning. Per
haps Mr.. Mcintyre may be taken as a
fair specimen of this class of Catho-
lies, many of whom are undoubtedly
drawn away from the Church by the
specious reasoning of socialistic
pamphleteers.

DECLARES, IN LETTER,
PROPOSED MICHIGAN SCHOOL
BILL AMENDMENT is UN-AMER-
IcAN AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Opposition to the proposed amend
ment to the state constitution, of Mich
igan, which seeks to abolish all pri-
vate and religious schools, is voiced
in letter written June % by Frank
B. Leland, president of the United
Savings Bank of Detroit and candi-
date for Republican gubernatorial
nomination, to Rev. Henry Frincke,
Monroe, Mich. He gives analytical
criticism to sustain his position that
the amendment should be defeated as
an un-American proposition.
The letter reads:
81 have your letter in which you
ask my position on the so-called anti
parochial school amendment to the
constitution of the state of Michigan.
"WouId Shut School for Deaf"
81 do not favor this amendment
for many reasons. l think it is I'M
American and in my opinion, it's in
corporation into the basic law of the
commonwealth would be most unwise
at any time and would be particularly
so at the present crisis in the worlds
affairs. ...
CAS- you are aware, I have been
interested in educational matters prac-
tically all my life. When l was 16
years old l was already teacher in
one of the public schools of this state.
For over IL years I have been a reg
ent of the University of Michigan and
hou 70 hot ivS
it's management my best thought and
| most earnest care. A number of years
ago it was my privilege to design,
erect and present to the city OF De-
| troit the first open air school for
tubercular children erected in this
country. mention these matters only
| that you may understand fully my
interest in the education of the young.
There is no point of view from
which the passing of the proposed
amendment would be wise. 1t seeks
to compel the attendance at school
of children commencing at the age OF
years. Many of our best educators
do not believe children should be sent
to school in any case until they are
! two or three years older than that
I myself believe that years is as
early as a child should be made to
go to school, The proposed amend
ment would abolish not only the Cath,
Ollie parochial schools, at which it ap'
parently is particularly aimed, but the
schools of Lutherans and several 9th
er religious denominations as we'll as
/ all private schools, and would even
compel the state itself to return to
their homes it's own wards in it's deaf
dumb and blind schools. 1t would pro
hibit the attendance of pupils under
the age of 16 years in private art
and technical schools. No thoughtful
person in my judgement could posi-
bly,. defend such a course.

is MARS INHABITED?

Othmar Solnitzky, M. A, in the June
Catholic World says:
During the last fifty years it has
been repeatedly claimed by astrOn-
omers of great fame that Mars is in
habited by beings not only equal, but
far in advance of us in the journey
of life This claim is based primarily
on the supposed existence of canals
on Mars. A canal is an artificial
waterway, designed for navigation or
for irrigating land. The word canal
implies in the first place artificial con-
struction by conscious, rational be-
ings, working knowingly toward a def
mite, useful end. In the second place,
a canal supposes the presence of wat
err A canal is, as rule, long, mar
row and of approximately equal
width. However, the question of size
and shape is entirely subordinate to
that of artfcialty. A natural water
way is never called a canal, but
channel, strait river or canyon. In
other words, before a canal can exist
at all, there must be conscious effort
directed towards it's construction, and
there must be water to flow through
it,
One of the greatest stumbling
blocks in considering the Marian
lines as true canals, is the fact that
many astronomers have failed to CON-
firm the existence of most of the lines.
Young, of Princeton University, found
that the lines could be observed only
with the aid of low powers. With
high powers the lines become mere
shadings, underlined and irregular.
Keller and Barnard could see only
soft, irregular standings and some
broad, lazy, ill-defined streaks.
Maunder denies the existence of any
lines and explains their appearance to
be due to optical illusions. Thus, when
| viewing very faint shadings and scat
tered dots, there is often tendency
| to "see" imaginary lines connecting
them
That life may exist on other planets
than our own is not in the least i'm
| possible, or even improbable. Like the
earth, there must be many bodies of
similar general characteristics in the
universe. Life, even human beings,
exist under the most diverse condi-
tons on the earth, and it is hardly
conceivable that among the countless
millions of heavenly bodies, forming
the solar system the earth is the only
one capable of supporting life. But
the possibility that life may exist on
other planets than our own does not
prove that life actually exists on a
particular planet, like Mars.

MOVEMENT TO PROVIDE MEDI.
CAL CARE FOR MOTHERS.

Not one day in the year, but every
day would be Mothers Day if ade-
quate measures to protect the health
of mothers were taken. Every day of
1918 an average of more than sixty
three mothers died in childbirth, not
because motherhood is not respected,
but because there are not enough
prenatal clinics, public health nurses
and hospitals to take care of matern-
ity cases. -..
Only five prospective mothers out
of 1878 in Investigations made by the
Children's Bureau of the U. S. De-
partment of Labor had had proper
care. The remaining 1913 were neg
lected, not because no one cared for
them. but because they had not been
taught how or why they should take
care of themselves, and could not af-
ford to pay doctors and nurses to
advise them.
The movement to save thousands
of mothers from death or lifelong in
validism is world wide. Recent &C
counts from France show unprece-
dented activity in the establishment
of consultation centers for eXpectant
mothers. and of training schools for
women visitors who will advise and
teach mothers in their homes. In
England, since 1918, maternity pro-
lection has been made obligatory
throughout the country, half the cost
of prenatal clinics, health visitors, -
and maternity hospitals for mothers
during convalescence being borne by
the Government
