teers to assist in the work of caring
for the wounded soldiers at the base
hospital in Fox Hills. where there
are still many wounded soldiers of
the recent Worlds val confined at
that place. All of the branches and
auxiliaries of the Red Cross OF Sta
ten Island are being asked to furn-
ish as many volunteers as possible
to assist in this work. Miss Laura B.
Yetman. chairman of the Fifth Ward
branch of the Red Cross, called a
meeting of the branch at the Maso-
mic temple last night, for the pur-
pose of securing a number from
this end of the island, but because
of the shortness of the notice given
! there was but a small number that
Rcame out.
After explaining the object of the
call for the meeting a general dis

said. might make a change at the
place. There are still about 1900
wounded soldiers at the hospital

MATAWAN MAN
HOLDUP VICTIM
Wallet and Gold Watch Taken
From A. w. Morton Large
Sum is Saved.
[By Evening News Correspondent

LBy Evening News Correspondent
MATAWAN, March 16.-While re-
turning to his home in Valley Drive
last night about 1920 o'clock, A. w.
Morton, who is connected with the
real estate firm of Charles J. Steuer-
valid, Inc, at Perth Amboy, was held
up and robbed.
Mr.. Morton usually rides a bicycle
to and from his home in Valley
Drive to the Matawan station. Yes
terday afternoon, he had been col
Letting some money for his firm in
Oak Shades, and was returning home
on his bicycle when two men jumped
from the side of the road, threw
Morton from his wheel and a on
him while they went through his
pockets. The only description of the
men Mr.. Morton can give is that
they were both white and wore grey
caps. Mr.. Morton put up quite a
fight. but the men did not use him
roughly, except by putting his hat
over his face SO that his cries for
help could not be heard.
Fearing that he might be held up
at some time led Mr.. Morton to
leave the money he had collected
yesterday with friends in Matawan.
The bandits, however, succeeded In
getting his wallet containing papers
of value only to the owner. and his
gold watch. The loss of the watch
is causing Mr.. Morton some concern
as it was a gift to him. and there
are only a few watches like it. There
are two dials and by the use OF
these it is possible to tell the time
without opening the case. A. w. NJ,
is engraved in script or the Ease OF
the watch.
Officer John Mulsoff made a
search for the men as soon as the
affair was reported. However, no
trace of them could be found. 1t is
supposed that they escaped through
the woods. Officer Mulsoff is of the
opinion that whoever did the rob-
berry knew that MI. Morton collect
ed yesterday at Oak Shades and
planned to get this money.

SAVING THE TAXPAYERS Ifs MI NUNEY

can be secured for a few dollars
vless than really efficient service
would cost. The result is not saw
ing but actual loss for the purpose
of the taxpayers money is after all
to secure that public service which
shall bring the best and the most
to the well being and progress of
the public that is served. This
principle we believe applies in every
department of government.
For instance, how much is actu-
ally saved in the purchase and con-
struction of road Improvements
that are cheap and consequently y
more miles can be improved with
the same money if, because of the
cheaper materials and cheaper con-
struction, those roads go to pieces
within the space of two or three
years and must be replaced or else
need yearly, the outlay of large
sums of money in order to keep
them in repair? Where is the eco
nomy in constructing hundred
mi es of road that experience has
demonstrated will last but few
years when fifty miles of roads OF
assured permanency and mini
mum cost of maintenance might
have been constructed with the same
money. The instance of the roads
is cited merely by way of illustra-
ton, our point is that the candidate
for pubic office and the man in
public office should be possessed of
eiood business judgment and be
qualified to expend the pubic funds
to the best possible advantage for
the public whom he serves The
taxpayers money should be invested
for the purpose of bringing him
the maximum dividends in form
of those things which contribute to
his we'll being materially, physic-
ally, morally and mentally.

There is no more popular appeal
voiced by aspirants to pubic office
than that the specific aspirant has,
does or hopes to save the taxpayers
money.
Ponticians and public office seek
ers have used and abused this plea
in behalf of candidates from tune
immemorial and many a public SER
want has perpetuated himself in
oirice and even advanced from town
snip to county and State offices on
the strength of his record as a saver
Oh The taxpayers money" The
Watchdog of the Treasury" in tne;
minds Of a vast majority OF the,
American pubic seems to occupy
tne same, If not little higher plane
than that emblem of American Free
o0m and Liberty, The American
Eagle" In fact the orators of the
pull..cal stump" nave just about
succeeded IN placing the Great
american Bird in the museum of
fcEtical Natural history as a per-
fecSly innocuous specimen of the
impractical sentiment, by which the
American people were swerved from
the highway of good common sense
and practical" politics by "unprin-
sod. demarA CUES of the maud
lin sentimentalist" type in the "dark
ages OF american political history;
wnGe "rowser" on duty as watch
dog of public funds is trotted out
as the real emblem of American
greatness and practical" political
sense and "towsers" bark and growi
ca At..An4y do make a profound I'M
preston upon the general public
these days.
In view Of the waste of the tax
uayer's money that has been in the
country at large, no thoughtful citi-
zen will object to this policy of
Swing the taxpayers money"
either as a theory or in practice,
and thos public officers who are
sincere and earnest in their efforts
to accomplish this result are most
certainly to be commended, de-
serve and should receive the suff-
RACES and support of the people
whom they serve.
However, this is only one side
of the question; The other side
is revealed when the answer to the
query, "What is the taxpayers
money for" is considered: The
taxpayers money is certainly for
the purpose of meeting the expense
of efficient government which in
cludes the transaction of public
business, the construction and main
tf1rance iof public buildings; the
education of the young, the care
of the mentally and physically de-
tective and all who are through
force of circumstances dependent
upon society; the prevention of
Crime, the protection of the citi-
zens in their rights, the safeguard
ing of their health and multitude
Of other objects and purposes that
come within the scope of our
modern American government, from
the smallest to the largest civic
unit. 1t follows that the taxpayers
money is not only to be saved, it
is to be expended and the qualifi-
cations Of the person who aspires
to public office must include not
only the ability to save money in
the common acceptahion of that
+c~rr. but as well the ability to
wisely and judiciously spend money
in such way that the taxpayer
shall get the very best value posi-
BILE for every dollar that he pays
into the pubic treasury. There is
nothing gained, rothing actually
saved for the public if inefficient
service is employed in any public
office simply because it is cheap;

WAS It Gas WIND OR HOT AIR

Two prominent citizens of Wauseon
made an auto trip to Delta and Swan
ton one day last week and the ex-
perience they report passing through
on that trip strike US as fiction; still
both of these gentlemen are fairly
reputable citizens, as reputable as any
one can be and be constantly involv-
ed in processes of the law as 10th
these gentlemen are. 1t follows that
the rest of US will have to accept as
fact their account of what transpired
on the aforementioned trip.
The trip from Wauseon to Delta
was uneventful; at Delta the twain
stopped and admit that they went
into several places; but what they
did or what they got, if any, in these
places they visited, they do not say;
in fact their reticence in regard to
this matter, in view of their later ex-
perience, has excited the curiosity Of
a number of our best citizens and it
would not surprise US if there were
many excursions made to Delta in
the near future for the purpose of
exploring that ancient and mystic
city But to return to the thrilling
adventure:
After leaving Delta some two or
three miles to the West, (it's hard
for us to understand how Delta could
be left under any circumstances the
auto suddenly stopped-refused to go

road and all the endearing epithets
either or both of the gentlemen could
apply to that automobile made no
impression whatsoever upon it;
there it stood stock still! The gentle
men held a conference and decided
that the policy of "watchful waiting
would not prove effective under the
circumstances and a thorough investi-
cation was unanimously ordered. This
investigation disclosed the fact that
the gasoline tank was empty where
upon a Solemn referendum" was
taken and the conclusion reached, by
a large majority was to the effect
that inasmuch as the gasoline tank
was empty it should be filled with the
breath of one of the heretofore men
toned gentlemen and this idea was
carried out. He was estimated the
greatest among them who coulC
