tiers court might open, say, at $ o'clock In the
morning and continue until 5 o'clock in the
a fternoon. Labor works overtime during rush
hours, why not judges?
We hold no brief for the continual shorten
ing of the working day. We believe that eight
hours is the proper proportion. for that divides
the twenty-four hours into three equal parts
eight hours for work, eight hours for play and
eight hours for sleep. To ask for fewer working
hours in order to play more or slep more Is
unjust and means a deliberate slowing up OF
production that reflects in the increased cost of
everything.
But, after all. labor should not be the only
element in society criticised for advocating a
shorter working day when court sits only four
and a half hours and then calls for help be-
cause its calendar becomes congested. Isn't
it time for all of us to get on the job in real
earnest and do a real days work? There Is
nothing the world needs more than just that
very thing and it includes labor and capital and
all public officials of whatever degree.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY wah Mason.
TRUE STORY

There was a mar who owned some
fats, out In a western town, Mt
dwellings for aristocrats, all painted
white and brown; and renters took
their kids and cats to them and set
tied down. In time the greedy rent
hogs rose, on get-rich courses bent;
the hearts of many landlords froze.
they grasped at every cent: and
people soaked their furbelows. to
pay the monthly rent. And land
lords got an evil name throughout
that plundered grad; they played a
p%rofiteering game that made the
victims mad; said victims said 1t
was a shame, as they dug up the
scad. While other landlords raised
the price, the hero of this tale said
old time prices would suffice, old
contracts should prevail; he would
not ask an extra slice of hard-press-
ed tenants kale. These tenants, be-
ing safe and sane, to gratitude not
dead, when rem day came did not
complain, or fear the landlords
tread; but they gave him a hand
some cane, that had a golden head.
Oh, all the tenants stood in line,
and then, with seemly mirth. they
sprung their tribute. high and fine,
to one of sterling worth; and he was
moved to shedding brine that tric-
killed. to the earth. He gets more
pleasure from this gift than do the
pirates gay. the p%rofteers who strive
to lift the prices every day, from
all the coin their evil thrift has won
and filed away.

WOMEN ON SCHOOL BOARD.

II would be a fine thing for Woodbridge
township to have a woman on the Board OF
Education regardless OF the justice in the de-
mana of the women for representation. Any
thing that so directly concerned the family and
home life as does the education of the children
cannot help but be benefited by women's ad-
vice aDd<assistance in management
ri is a significant fact that in all parts of the
state the sentiment regarding women on school
boards is the same. In some places where
women have received but scant recognition such
recognition as has been given her has usually
been in the form of a school board appoint
ment.
As the women of Woodbridge point out, a
bill has been introduced in the state legislature
providing for women representation on the
state Board of Education. One of the women
members of the assembly serves on the educa-
tion mi of the House. In practically
avery town where appointments to the school
hoard have been made a woman has been
named. Perth Amboy now has a woman men,
her of the Board of Education for the first
time.
To be interested in education is to be inter-
ssted in children and it is safe to say no one
can show greater interest in children or are
more concerned about their welfare than
mothers. 1t naturally follows that women
should have a direct voice in the management
of our public schools.
In Woodbridge a very capable woman has
been suggested by the Woman's club as a can
Iidate in the comm school election. 1t ought TO
be a matter of pride for the people of Wood
bridge township to elect a person of such high
standing in so important a position.

Of production because OF the inability to get a
Abor alone bear the hrunt o: this criticism in
the light OF what recently occurred in rJew
York?
II seems that the calendar of the court Of
general sessions became very crowded and the
Judges asked for assistance in handling the
eases. Justice Tompkins. of Nyack, was &C
cordingly assigned to assist the New York
Judges.
Justice Tompkins came down TO New York
and went around to the court rooms at 9 o'clock
only to find the doors locked He waited around
nearly an hour when District Attorney Swami
finally appeared and the justice learned from
him that court in New York did not open until
1880 o'clock and closed at 4 o'clock. The
Justice from Nyack said he thought he could do
better than that.
Is it any wonder that the court calendar in
New York was crowded when the court is in
one hour for lunch? OF course, We know the
the judges work is not confined to the court
room. He has many long. tedious briefs to read
and consider carefully and other purely office
work. At the same time. court is not in session

this, the price you paid for the

the price for which you sold 1t. If

to March 1, 1913, you may use as a
base a fair market value OF your
property at that date, instead of the
price for which you bought It. The

PUBLIC OPINION
RETIREMENT OF OFFICIALS

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
My object in writing you is not to
criticize our city fathers or to get in
print.
The council has arranged to retire
our chief of police and his sergeants.
They are all enjoying good health
and have had years of experience.
Why not continue them in Office
during good behavior? In retiring
them now new men must be ap-
pointed to fill the positions. What
does this mean to the taxpayers of
the city? By careful estimate it
will increase the taxes $4,000 an
nually. No one can deny that our
| chief and his sergeants have served
the city faithfully and deserve our
approval. What this retirement
means to hundreds of u working
| men who by close economy have &C
cumulated sufficient means to build
or buy a home to house their fami-
lies and to prevent landlords from
increasing their rent or turning them
out. Under the change proposed
the taxes will be increased again as
they have been for several years.
Isn't it time to call a halt Or must
we stand idly by and see our fair
city bankrupt as many surrounding
towns have been in past years.
Thanking you in advance.

CABINET-MAKING.

Who is selecting the Presidents cabinet, any
way? We read that the senators at Washing
ton are opposed to this or that man for such
and sucb n post; that Elihu Root is not accept
able as secretary of state and that Charles E.
Hughes would be better. Then we read that'
on second thought, Root would, in the opinion
of the senators at Washington, make a better
man to head the cabinet, after all. Just at pres
emit. is seems, the Washington cabinet makers
are turning to Root In preference to Hughes.
But Senator Penrose is quoted as saying that 1t
did not make any difference who was made sec
retary of state as the senate foreign relations
committee expected to dictate the foreign policy
of the government.
We are also informed that the august sena-
tors at Washington are not inclined to accept
Hoover for a cabinet member. They have mo-
quite decided yet whether Will Hays can have
a place in the Presidents official family or moi
and so 1t goes.
Senator Harding is said to be in a quandary
as to what to do. II the senators at Washing
ton do not arrive at some definite conclusion
pretty soon they will drive the poor President
elect crazy with the suspense.
But, after all, the President has a right Il
choose his own cabinet and it is to be hoped
that Mr.. Harding will soon name his mer
as he thinks best and according to his OWL
wishes, leaving the busy cabinet makers in thu
senate to realize what a lot of time they hav'
wasted.
Why not let the President-elect pick his owr
cabinet? Better still. why doesn't the Pres
ident-elect do it?
