CHEERFUL TALK

I do not talk of sorrow, I'm
clipper, blithe and gay; and of a
bright tomorrow I spring my spiel
today; for folks are tired of hear
ing OF doubling and of fearing;
they long for something cheering
to shoe the gloom away. As I go
daily drilling along Commercial
Street. no voters hear me trilling
a lay OF frigid feet; / do no
m%ournful yellin', I boost the
world we dwell in, the world
we're raising Hail Columbia In,
and say it's good as wheat. Oh,
men would rather listen to silly
jays like me, whose adjectives all
glisten with merriment and glee,
than hear the griefsmiths blow
ing, more melancholy growing,
the while their tears are flowing
in rivers to the sea Men work
and they are. weary, they fret and
they are sad; and hopeful words
and CHEEKY may help to make
them glad; and so the sunshine
CRATER who strives to kick up
laughter, though he seems daft
and dafter. Is really not SO bad.

MISUNDERSTANDING

Is society In any measure re-
sponsible for making its criminals? Or
is criminality just naturally born
In q person?
Whatever may be thought of the
question of individual as against COM
munIty responsibility for crime, there
can be no argument on the propo-
sitlon that American institutions ought
not to ENCOURAGE crime.
Yet that is what they are doing.
According to the Children's Bureau at
Washington, young child offenders in
many parts of tho United States must
face the same sort Of court trial as
that given to hardened criminals. OF
the $4,000 children's cases brought
before courts in the United States In
1918, approximately $4,000 came be-
fore courts not adapted to the hand
ling of children's cases. At least one
court in every state reported that
children awaiting trial were detained
in jails and 81 courts in IS states de-
clared hat no effort was made to
separate children detained In Jails
from old and hardened offenders.
Only S21 courts out of more than
1000 had special organization for try
Ing ~children's cases. such as separate
hearings, probation service and q sys-
tenn Of legal and social records. AL
though every state in the Union, ex-
Icept Wyoming, had legislation provid-
ing for juvenile probation. less thar
half tho courts trying children's cases
ACTUALLY had probation service and less
than one-ffth had regular full-time
probation officers paid for by the
court.
Many courts had arranged fol-
private hearings. but still. through
fines and punishments, maintained the
old attitude that the offender was
llaw-breaker rather than a child II
need of special care and protection.
OF the 1000 courts. only las report
ed special provisions for mental ex
animation.
All this in the most enlightened
country in the world. where wealth
and well-being are a maximum, ant
where advanced political ant
economic institutions are supposed t
DO best developed.

included in the district 10 do but fol
How suit. At a time like this we realize
how dependent we all are on the rail
roads.
Besides, most of The industries In
Perth Amboy have main offices in New
York. 1t would have been out of the
question for the main oGice to be run
on one time and the plant, only q few
miles away. to be run on an entirely
different time.
Nevertheless the confusion and in
convenience is bound TO continue as
long as the present duel schedule
lasts. Railroads now have trains run
ming on both schedules. The danger
of accident is greatly increased, es-
pecially on the main lines. Perhaps it
will require a great railroad wreck to
bring people to their senses and make
them understand that we are n ma
ton and must maintain one standard
time whether 1t is advanced an hour in
the summer or not.
When congress passed the daylight
saving law and clocks everywhere
were advanced an hour in summer
there was no confusion because all
time was alike and the country was
prepared for 1t. This Is the only way
that time should be changed. For any
city or state TO set up a time of its own
is meddling with something that be-
longs to the federal government
alone.
New Jersey Is particularly hard hit,
especially this immediate section of
New Jersey. Here we are right on the
border between the two times South
of New Brunswick and south Of South
Amboy on the Pennsylvania railroad,
at least, tho old standard time pre-
walls. Whereas here and in New
Brunswick the new advanced time
prevails. Thus Middlesex county is
half on one schedule and half on the
other. The farmer from down around
Cranbury way m in to New Bruins
wick for jury duty inc finds court has
already been IN session nearly an hour,
although his watch still shows hat lie
has several minutes to spare before
the hour for opening court arrives.
Sooner or later this matter Of time
has got to be Strengthened out. We
cannot run business half on II
schedule and half on another. In the
meantime we must adjust ourselves
to 90 with the majority.

Astrologers read this as a quiet day,
although not a really fortunate one.
Jupiter and Neptune are strongly ad-
verse.
During this planetary government
vision regarding the business and fl
conditions of the country may
be rather blurred. for Neptune is in an
aspect making for more or less dis
|couragement
Caution on the part of bankers,
merchants and manufacturers may be
evident at this time. owing to I'M
settled state of government affairs.
While there may be fear of money
stress and even bank failures, alarm
is declared by the seers to be I'M
necessary, and they warn Americans
to work more and talk less.

0GThou Shalt Not Drink

"IDOu shalt NOT Drink"
Speaking before the clergy under
League in New York John f. Kra-
mer. the Federal Prohibition En-
forcement Commissioner. said that
the Prohibition Amendment was
equal to the whole Ten Command
ments, and he ikened the amendment
to the Decalogue. According to the
Holy Joes. there Is only one crime
on the misunderstanding. And
there is only n way to fracture the
moral law-and that is by drinking.
Its this of doctrine that
compels the church to raise $1,000
900, 900 this year to try and fill its
empty pews, while the Anti-Saloon
League is spending $12 600, 900 to
cause the ordinary citizen to neglect
the church because of disgust caused
by doctrines Of this kind. Why is
So much fuss being made over this
amendment when there are SO many
other statutes equally binding?
Somehow or other the thinking man
believes that If the Lord had want
ed Prohibition He would have handed
Moses one more Commandment.
Thou shalt not drink wine, o
strong liquor, nor beer"
