THE ELECTION.

The election will take place
next Tuesday when a Comptrol-
Ter and local officials will be
elected.
Every election is important to
the ps0ple, as they are held for
the purpose of selecting future
public servants, hence, it is the
duty of every citizen to go to the
polls ana there in tine voting
booth register his choice as to
future public officials.
Voting is duty and response
bility that rests upon every
American citizen. The man or
woman who fails to perform this
duty cannot lay claim to true
and genuine citizenship. The
right to vote is one Of the great
est privileges and most impor-
tant duties conferred under our
Constitution and one that should
be exercised freely, fully and
with a mind single to the vel
fare of nation, state and county.
This being 1.-THE candidates tall
being good men, as they are in
this election from a state and
county standpoint, of the party
whose policies are best for the
welfare and progress of the peo-
pie generally should be voted for
and elected.
We believe, and it has been
demonstrated in the nation, state
and county, that the policies OF
the Republican party are best
for the material welfare, progress
and happiness OF our people.
Granting this to be true, the
candidates on the Republican
ticket should be elected.
The election OF Senator Met
zerott as Comptroller, Hon Al
bert j. Lomax, as Senator, and
Messrs. John E. Bardrotf and
Robert r. Cooksey, as members
of the House of Delegates, is
most important for many rea-
sons. First, history has demon
strated that the Republican par
ty can be depended upon to full
nil the promises made in their
platform, and this is a matter OF
vital interest to all the people.
Secondly, their election means
that in the event of the Republl-
can party being in the majority
in both houses on joint ballot, a
Republican Treasurer will be
elected, giving the Republicans
control of the Board Of Public
Works. Thirdly, experience has
shown that the Republican party
is more vitality interested in the
welfare of the people as a whole
than can be said of the Demo
cratic party The latter is not
the fault of the real, genuine
Democrat who is not interested
in public office as such, but the
bosses of that party, and we have
only to look to Baltimore City
for the truth of this fact.
The Republican party has
nominated for all the offices to be I
filed this fall-from Comptroller
down to the Sheriffalty an ex-
cellent ticket. All the candi
dates are fully qualified for the
offices to which they aspire, and
possess the ability to give the
people competent, faithful and
high order of service.
In view of the party policies
and the capable candidates for
the various Offices, we appeal to
to every citizen of the county
Republican and Democrat to
vote for the candidates on the
Republican ticket. We appeal
especially to our Democratic
friends to follow the advice Of
the Democratic candidate for the !
Senate not to be longer bound
by party ties, but be independent

comparatively few people there are today who
live up to their moral obligation in this regard.
Excepting those of the Roman Catholic faith,
VINO set all their fellow Christians a worthy
example in this regard, the neglect of the
church is most deplorable. This applies with
particular force to Perth Amboy where in pro-
portion to the population of the city, the num-
Der Of those who attend no church whatever
is appalling.
If God-fearing men of the community fail
to uphold their religious beliefs, shun the SER
vices Of their church and ignore their Chris
tian obligations, how can they expect the COM
munity in which they live to measure up to
their ideals and be the place they would like
to have it be? .
All credit to the communicates of the Roman
Catholic church for the loyalty and devotion
which they show. For the protestant denomi-
nations there is a need for a great awakening.
Especially is such an awakening needed in this
city. 1t is to be hoped that the wonderful
achievement of the Presbyterians last Sunday
will be the means of bestirring the people of
the entire city to a sense of their religious duty.
{. the end that Perth Amboy may take on a
new life, raise her whole moral standard and
pt osper as never before.

come from?-J. M. E.
A. The Chesapeake Bay blue
crab, the largest specimen found
along the Atlantic Coasts is con-
sidered the best. While these rus
taceans were very plentiful a few
years ago, it is becoming evident
that unless a "closed season" Is de-
clared, they will become as rare and
high priced as terrapin. The little
pea crabs, found within oyster
shells, are considered a de!icacy,
while the cancer magister, the large
crab of the Pacific coast, is extern
sively used for food in that part Of
the country.
@. Is Jacobs Well still in exist
ence ?-F. S.
A. This well is near Nablus. Syria.
1t is claimed that it was hewn in
the rock by Jacob. g A church built
over the well was destroyed during
the period of Crusades. \
@. What does "backwardation"
mean?-A. M. p.
A. This is a term used on the
London Stock Exchange. A man
sells stocks which he does not pos
sess, promising delivery on a certain
day. If at settling time the stock
has not gone down to a point where
he can make a profit on the tram
saction he sometimes makes an ar
rangement with the purchaser of
the stock whereby delivery is de-
ferred. paying for this privilege an
agreed amount of interest known as
backwardation.
Q. Does a ship go to the bottom
Of the ocean when it sinks?-B. X.
A. The Bureau of Standards says
that when a vessel sinks at sea. it
passes to the bottom of the cean
and does not remain suspended at
any given depth. This is because
the specific gravity of the vessel is
greater than that Of the water sur
rounding it.
Q. Why are rhinestones given this
Nance. P. G.
A. These brilliants were SOCIAL
ed from the River Rhine, in allusion
to the origin of the strass of which
many Of them are made. Strass or
lead glass, was invented by Josef
S%trasser at Strasburg, near the
Rhine. in 1880.
@. Where a I secure a blanket
copyright for all pictures 1 take and
will take in the future?
A. 1t is impossible to secure a
blanket copyright. 1t is necessary
to register each photograph.
@. Is soapy water in which wear
ing apparel has been washed, injur-
ious to forest trees?-J. S. C.
A. The Bureau of Forestry says
that soap suds, or water in which
soap has been dissolved, would not
be good to use on trees. The al
kali in the soap would be harmful.

admire a bad mar who has a strong
purpose, a clear plan, and who reso-
lutely sets out to attain his end, far
more than you can admire an amia-
BILE nonentity who has not PERSONAL

Napoleon was a bad man. and he
went the way of men who carry
their selfish plans to where they be-
come a menace to the world. There
is a man now temporarily resident
in Holland who must read with in.
terest all that is being printed in
German about Napoleon.
Mr.. William Hohenzollern, late OF
Germany, must be doing some pro-
ftable thinking these days. His
tragedy is the tragedy Of Napoleon,
and by this time he must know 1t.
But think of the heroic greatness
of Napoleon, and the use of that
mighty will. had it been directed to-
| ward worthier ends. Between him
and his conquest of Italy lie the

There were none for him. That

The world has been thinking and
talking much Of late about Napo-
leon. The centenary of his death
has brought afresh to the minds of
men the glory and the pathos of his
career. Unfortunately, we have had
recent cause to remember Waterloo,
and the events that followed; and
we have some reason to fear that
the mistakes of the Congress of vi
emma did not die with that distin-
guished body. but have found some
measure of repetition in the confer
ence at Versailles.
Napoleon compels Il admiration.
Our condemnation of his s~elhshness
and his willingness to deluge the
world with blood is tempered by our
genuine and permissible admiration
for his dominant will, which rallied
vast hosts of men, willing to die at
his word.
There are three kinds of people
in this world. Most men say there
are two. but there ace really three.
They are the people who have a
purpose to do wrong and the people
who have a purpose to do right, and
the people who have no purpose at
all.
