Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-12-06
MAYOR WILSON At HIS BEST

Mayor Wilson is at his best when he acts on his own
Initiative. This is shown by his latest move in regard to the
condition at the Smith street ferry. The mayor has taken
matters in his own hands and it looks as if he was going to
get results. At least, he is not yet satisfied that the city has
gone the limit in its efforts to secure safety for the people
who travel between this city and Tottenville.
BY going right to the front in the matter and getting in
personal touch with the railroad officials the mayor has
started a direct action that removes any suspicion of pass
ing the buck or of ssy-fooing. The response he has re-
ceived proves one more that 'where there's a will there's
a way"
After all, it matters little whether the mayor has the
authority over the ferry or not; it makes little difference
whether the jurisdiction of the Board of Freeholders extends
that far; it is not now a question, even, what power the
Interstate Commerce Commission has in the premises
the point is, conditions are not as they should be at the ferry
at the foot of Smith street and the head of the city govern
ment has put, the matter squarely up to those who are re-
%sponsible for that condition.
This may not be IN accordance with the best principles
as laid down by Blackstone and it may not be as digniied
and as formal as the epistolatory method couched in fine
words and polite phrases, but it does get results. And, after
all, results are what count.
The railroad officials have promised the mayor that
they will give the ferry their personal attention. They in
tend to come to this city to see for themselves exactly what
the situation is. This is the first step. Should this fail to
bring results the mayor will doubtless appeal to the Inter-
State Commerce Commission and demand a hearing.
But should the mayor find it necessary to go to the
Interstate Commerce Commission with the matter he is not
likely to stop with the question of the approach to the ferry
boat. The kind of service rendered and the fare charged
would also appropriately fit into the request for a hearing
and there is every reason to believe that a strong case could
be made out in behalf of the city. In fact, it is doubtful if
The Staten Island Rapid Transit would care to have the fight
carried that far so that there is good ground for believingl
Sastthe company will be glad to do anything within reason
to remedy the condition now complained of. /
Mayor Wilson is giving a striking illustration of how
to be of real service to the people. He may not have author
ity to do a great many things, but his position as the head
OF the city government gives him a great influence. He is
not as helpless as the city attorney in his recent letter to the
Evening News would have us believe.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-12-06
Perth AMsoY-pAsr, PRESENT AND FUTURE

In an historical city like Perth Amboy there ought to he
no difficulty in filling the auditorium in the public library
tonight when the organization meeting of the Perth Ambov
historical Society is to be held. The object of the meeting
alone IS enough to warrant a large attendance. With two such
attractions as Professor Austin Scott. of Rutgers College
and Mrs. Frances Westervelt, of the New jersey Historical
Society, the inducement to be present becomes ali
the greater.
The meeting tonight is open to the public. Everyone
interested in the history of Perth Amboy who desires
to have a part in the study of that history and in the preser-
Walton of things historical hereabOuts will be welcome. There
is no reason why Perth Amboy should not have one of the
strongest historical societies in New Jersey, because there is
no section richer in historic association than this imme-
date vicinity.
1t is certainly not creditable to Perth Amboy that this
matter of history has been neglected for so many years. Op-
portunities to learn historical facts have been ignored and
valuable relics have been lost. 1t is to be hoped that this
now is to be remedied. With the permanent organization of
the Perth Amboy Historical Society tonigh a movement will
be launched that is bound to play an important part in local
affairs in the future.
A great many of us think only of the present in Perth
Amboy. 1t is only what we can get out of the city today,
that counts. Some of us, however, are trying to arouse in
terest in the future also, so that by investing a million dollars
or so in waterfront development we will have laid a founda-.
ton for greater things to come, making a real metropolis
here.
But as anxious as we all may be as to the present and as
interested as we may be in the future, it is proper that, in a
city like Perth Amboy, we should also consider the past and
do what we can to preserve for posterity the wonderful rec
ord of the city and the glory that belonged to it in the early
days when the nation was being born.
Past, present and future, these three, and all are i'm
poriant enough for serious consideration on the part of our
citizens.

FAIL.URE?
BY DR.. w. f. BARTON

Some one now and then tells us
that all institutions of organized
society have failed. The state has
failed, the church has failed, the
school has failed, the courts have
failed.
These people have much material
for their argument. They can show
us how in spite of all that the
schools are doing people are ig-
%norant. including those who go to
school and those who teach. They
car always prove that the average
high school graduate does not know
the distance from Singapore to Kan
kakee and that out of 100 college
graduates not more than twenty
seven know the latitude and longi-
tude of Timbuctoo. They can show
us that while the courts were never
so busy the jails were never so full.
They can prove that the churches
are failures and they can find no
end of logical evidence of the fact.
There is one thing that, so far as
1 know. does not occur to these
statisticians and that is that If it
were not for these agencies or some
of them, things might be even worse
