q K Ii a GOOD JOB

Irrespective of the fact that the county is to be put to
considerable extra expense in re -advertising for bids for the
paving of North Main street, Metuchen, the Board of Free
holders are to be commended for desiring to make a good Job
of it when it is done, whether it be of warrenite or concrete.
Metuchen borough officials who, upon being asked to ex-
press their preference for the pavement after the county
board had already advertised for warrenie, declared in
favor of concrete, objected to the kind of concrete pavement
the freeholders agreed to put down after rejecting all the
warrenite bids. Fault was found because it was claimed the
concrete was to be too thick and that the traffic on this par
ticular stretch of road did not warrant such a heavy pave
ment.
AS a matter of fact, however, concrete roads, to be of
real service, must be laid we'll. They must be able to with
stand not only the heavy traffic, but the frosts and severe
cold in the winter. Anyone desiring to discredit concrete
as a paving material would be inclined to lay it too thin and
without proper drainage so as to cause it to crack and break
up easily. The Board of Freeholders cannot be accused of
any such trick in this case even though there is reason to
believe that they are partial to the patented materials.
When Metuchen declared in favor of concrete the free
holders set out to give the borough the very best concrete
road possible, built according to the plans of the old State
Highway Commission for which Colonel Goethals, builder of
the Panama canal, was the adviser, and which board had
adopted concrete as the standard bodybuilding material in
New Jersey.
The Metuchen borough officials may be right in insist
ing that such a thickness as the f%reehoders proposed is not
necessary for the travel that North Main street in that Dor
ough is called upon to carry, but should the lighter road be
built, as Metuchen desires, and should it go to pieces later
on, the blame must rest upon the borough officials, and not
with the freehOlders.
But here again the responsibility Of the freeholders
comes in. While it is all we'll enough to consult the property
owners who are directly concerned in any paving job, 1T
must be remembered that the taxpayers all over the county
are interested because they have to put up the bulk of the
money to pay for the improvement, whether it be in Metuch-
en-, Roosevelt, South River or Cranbury. That being the
case. it is the duty of the freeholders, in fairness to all, to
insist upon a good job so that the taxpayers of the county
will not be called upon to do the work all over again within
a year or two.

MAcKAY KEEPS UP THE BLUFF

Except for the publicity he may gain in his campaign
for the Republican gubernatorial nomination next year, we
fail to see what good is to be accomplished by Senator
Mackay in bringing his coal investigation committee to this
city to further py into the prices and figures of the coal
dealers. Senator Mackay has already confessed his inability
TO do anything to remedy the situation should he find profit
eering and other irregularities going on. He has recently
appealed to United States District Attorney Elmer H. Geran
to take up such matters as the probing committee has I'M
earthed in other cities, claiming that only under federal laws
can the guilty parties be reached.
Senator Mackay fails to state that had the laws passed
when Woodrow Wilson was governor of the state, known as
The ''Seven Sisters remained on the statute books, he
would not have the humiliation OF confessing his helpless
ness and appealing to the federal authorities.
It was during the Wilson administration at Trenton that
laws were enacted making it possible to punish those found
guilty of combining to fix prices or to restain trade. But the
Republican legislatures that have followed the Wilson re-
CINE have repealed all of the "Seven Sisters'-although
IL is only fair to say that some of these repealers were ap-
proved by Governor Edwards, a Democrat. But that is not
surprising realizing Governor Edwards's record in other
matters.
AS we have repeatedly stated, the people are sick and
tired Of all these Investigations into the coal business. What
they want is to have something done. A Democratic legisla-
ture gave the state the means for acting in such cases, but a
Republican administration saw fit to eliminate those means.
Now a Republican candidate finds it necessary to appeal to a
Democrat in office to help him out, using the federal courts
instead of the state courts as the Wilson administration at
Trenton had provided.
Senator Mackay is not going to accomplish much by
coming to Perth Amboy. He has shot his bolt already. He
has admitted his inability TO do anything to remedy condi-
tions even if he should find them not as they should be. If
he thinks he can bluff it out until the next governor is nomi-
mated, he is mistaken.
Senator Runyon, who has the inside track for the Re-
publican nomination for governor next year, is the favorite
In this locality and nothing Senator Mackay can do along the
Fine of fruitless coal investigation can alter the situation,

EATING AND DIGESTING MA
CHINE DETERMINES VALUE
ON Dnnn

Ever hear of an eating machine?
The United States Department of
Agriculture has in its chemical
laboratories in Washington. Experts
making digestion and food value ex-
periments used to try food out on
animals. Now they feed it to the
machine.
And the machine not only eats 1t
but digests it, just like the organs OF
a man or animal. And it performs
all it's operations in plain sight where
the experts can observe it.
The eating machine looks like an
incubator. Experimental food is
placed on small beakers. Compounds
containing the same chemical ele-
ments found in stomach juices are
added.
Then the beakers are placed in a
box. Temperature is kept at all
times the same as the temperature OF
your stomach.
Food is left in the box the same

Time goes faster the older you get;
When you were a kid, a day would

For many adventures that might be

And a week was ever-so-long to you;
Christmas to Christmas was quite an

Birthdays ever were few and far.

But now-how frequent the birth

Time goes faster the older you get!
The years ahead, to your youthful

Are rich with promise and thickly
With all the plans and the hopes you
prize;
But when you're older the seasons
fly,
The times too short for your plots

And though you struggle. and
though you try,
The swift years hurry you past your
dreams.
How dizzily must the years have
flown
For old Methusaleh, long agoi
What hectic speed must the time

For his last hundred of years, or So
In spite of the centuries he lived

He found them far too short, I'll bel
To do one-half what he'd hoped Il

The industrial stagnation affect
ing the nation is both material and
psychological. Our industries, farms,
mercantile establishments and bank
ing houses were geared to war pro-
duction with it's extraordinary re-
quirements.
All records were surpassed in the
production of agricultural products,
coal, steel, and all raw materials
and finished articles. Abnormal and
excessive profits in business became
such a reality as to change our
sense of value and proportion. We
became a nation of iconoclasts and
destroyed the ideals of conservatism
to which we had hitherto made
~obeisance.
With the cessation of the war the
flow of war materials overseas nee
essarily stopped. With the d~estruc-
ton of foreign credit impoverished
Europe was unable to buy. A les
SEEMING of our industrial and agricul-
tural activities was then most nat
ural.
Notwithstanding these facts,
theorists, economists and captains
of industry began to cry "Produc-
ton, production" until the newt
able collapse occurred.

A new panacea for our ills was
then discovered and the same wise

When They Thrive


But there is a sort of immigration
on which they thrive. If they can
come into such q country as our
Pacific slope, or New Zealand, OF
South Africa, or Jul southern states,
where there is a population with
whom they a successfully COM
pete, and whom they IA underlive,
they can do wonderfully well.
Now the white nations will not re-
ceive them. And from this will grow
one of the critical discussions of the
Disarmament Conference. IL Japan
insists upon freedom of immigration.
On this reef the conference may be
wrecked-but 1t should be cleared
up.
The Japanese are very proud
passionately proud They are over
sensitive. They take it as a badge
of their i~nferiority IL they accept ex-
clusion. Sometimes l think they
make more of this than they really
feel, and use this pride and sensi-
tiveness as trading stock in the field
of international relations.
No Partially
Now that we have passed IN i'm
migration law which shuts out
thousands of Europeans for every
dozen Japanese excluded, they can
not longer think that we are picking
them out as exceptionally unfit for
admission.
We shut out Poles and Italians
and Scandinavians. Why? Because
we have found out that we cannot
assimilate so many of them as would
like to come in.
And the Japanese are harder 10
assimilate.
To allow the japanese to come in
freely would be to court civil war,
and finally to bring on with absolute
certainty, international war.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH U.S., ANYWAY?

quent reduction in the workers
standard of living; inevitable cur-
tailment of buying and the in
creased stagnation of industry.
AS the period following the war
of the rebellion, the return of the
country to it's normal basis should
have been spread W. a number of
years, but the haste of our mad
counselors forced the submission to
a major operation and the patient
has collapsed under the knife.
Further wage reductions will but in
tensify our industrial and commer-
cial agony.
The cost Of living is far from
keeping pace with the reductions
already forced. The nation needs
time to adjust itself while business
burrows from its ruins and COM
merce is gradually revived.
Common Sense.
We desire fewer platitudes from
our statesmen and the application
of a greater degree of h rules OF
common sense. Our nation is solv-
ent and our assets exceed our liabil-
tiles by prodigious values. Practi-
cal plans should be Immediately de-
vised to provide work for u vast
army of unemployed.
This must be done If we are to
avoid the disturbance of our social
fabric in addition to the agonies we
are enduring from our other all
ments. 1t will take time to ascend
the slopes but the mountain can be
scaled.

PROBLEMS
FOR COMING CONFERENCE

Herbert Quick has made n
special study of the problems
and perils of the disarmament
conference for the Perth AmbOy
Evening News. The following
article is one of a series on this
subject.
by HERBERT QUICK
WASHINGTON, Oct. S:-Japan is
a new member of the group of great
nations. She is a very old nation,
and has a passionate sort of pride.
Her people are crowded into a.group
of islands which have for hundreds
of years been inadequate in area for
their support.
Before she began building up her
modern business structure. Japan
used to have a rice famine every few
years which kept the people down in
numbers to from thirty-five to forty
millions.
Modern industry and the sciences
which she has so quickly mastered,
now give a better living. and i'm
munity TO famine to from forty-ive
to fifty millions in the Nipponese
group of islands.
But she feels the need of more
territory, or at least of more oppor-
tunities for the support of her
growth in population.
The Japanese are not good pio-
neers. They do not immigrate to
countries with severe climates, either
hot or cold, as u ancestors did,
They have o yet filled the island
of Hokkaida in north Japan. because
1t is cold there.
The Japanese will never emigrate
to Siberia, save a few shop-keepers
it is too cold. They will never go
in great numbers to the Philippines
1T is too hot.
1 do not believe they will ever be-
come pioneers anywhere.
