chimes were carried over the ferry
over the Weekend and holiday. All
day yesterday there was steady
stream of cars coming back and at
one time last night the line extended

a line in Smith street reaching at
most to High street. A traffic patrol
man was stationed at the ferry TO
keep the cars in line. During the

ing perishable merchandise going
over the ferry were given the rlght
of way over pleasure cars.
During Saturday and Sunday the
line in Tottenville of cars coming to
this city extended out Bentley street
from the ferry far out Amboy road
for several blocks. Some cars were
forced to wait in line more than an
, hour until they reached the end OF
the line to go on the boat. The ferry
boat Tottenville carries twenty-three
cars and eighteen can be placed or

kept going back and forth during
the past four days as fast as they
could to relieve the traffic.

Traffic in this city and New Bruns-
wick over the Weekend and Labor
Day was unusually heavy, yet the
local police handled the situation
with great skill, only one minor ac-
cident being reported at headquar-
ters.
Two squads were on duty during
the greater part of Saturday, Sunday
and yesterday, at times when traffic
was heaviest, and Chief Niels j.
Tonnesen, Captain Lawrence A. Long
and his staff of detectives and Lieu
tenants William Calvin and John
Morris and officers William Clooney
and Emil Koyen worked overtime in
order to properly take care of traffic.
At times, it is said, automobiles eX-
tended from the ferry to Madison
avenue on Market street. There also
was a heavy traffic over the Amboy
avenue route.
At 6 o'clock last night, when traf-
tic from the shore to northern New
Jersey and New York was at its
height, word was sent out that one
of the bridges between Keyport and
this city was out Of commission. The
reports had it that it was the state
bridge over the Raritan river that
was giving the trouble.
Traffic Dctourcd
Traffic was detoured from South
Keyport to Matawan and thence TO
| NewBrunswick VIC Old Bridge. A
congestion of traffic resulted in Mat
avian for a time, until the traffic
officers were placed along the route
to direct traffic. The special officers
had been recalled from duty in this
place after the opening of route No.
4, through Keyport and the closing
of the Cliffwood detour.
One of those who was forced to
go via the New Brunswick route
was Joseph Copeland, of Wood
| bridge. According to Mr.. Copeland,
men representing themselves to be
state traffic officers stopped traffic
and instructed it to take the detour.
When arriving in Perth Amboy after
the twenty-five mile extra travel to
New Brunswick Mr.. COPELAND found
there was no trouble with the state
bridge.
Officers at Matawan today said
that they did not know which
bridge was out of commission, but
that whatever the trouble was, the
traffic was able to resume the stat4
highway route in about one hour
time.

Principles of Justice

TBy The Associated Press
PARIS, Sept. 6:-Sinn Fein Ire
lands demands upon Great Britain
are defended in an interview with
Eamon de Valera printed by the
newspaper L'Oeuvre. THAT journal
representative, Simone Tery, quotes
Mr.. de Valera as asserting that the
Irish republicans are basing their
fight on principles of justice.
"Our realism is more practical
than the opportunism we are ad-
vised to adopt" Mr.. de Valera is
quoted as declaring. THE British
government declares it desires to
end, once and for all time. strife be-
tween it's country and ours. We also
wish to end strife, but we are lack
ing, in practical sense, because we
know, as everybody in Ireland knows,
that lasting peace can be made only
on the principles of justice. If Ire
land is refused rights which for her
are primordial and essential, can she
be accused of stubbornness because
she points out that these rights are
denied her? Who then can imagine
even among those realist politicians
that lasting peace can be built on
refusal of these rights?'

The Sick School Children.

In the discussion of the school for
tuberculous children, now established
in an obviously ill located and, it is
declared. insanitary building, it has
been suggested that the present prob
lem of better situation for these
classes may be solved by their assign
ment to the roof of one of the other
buildings. Open-air treatment of this
disease is favored by most physicians,
and 1t would not be amiss to adopt the
principle here. Other cities have
maintained open-air schools for ailins
children with good results. Wash
ington will risk nothing by undertak-
ing such an experiment-eXperim
only in respect to local experience.
Certainly there is no assurance in
the statements made by some of the
authorities that although conditions
at this school are not ideal they are,
perhaps. not as bad as the public has
been led to believe. Conditions at
such a school. where children suffer-
ing from incipient disease of the lungs
are taught, should be ideal. There
is no safe lower ground. No COM
parative degree is tolerable. Only the
very best is good enough for those
who are thus afflicted, if they are to
be sent to school at all.
Three and a half months must pass
before the close of the school season.
The chance of getting an appropria-
tion for a new building for this use
has gone. Even if the appropriation
were voted at the present session it
could not be spent and the building
constructed in time for next season. s

Pure StupiditY.

A news item from SCOTS Blur.
Neb., inspires the editor of the South
east Missourian of Cape Girardeau to
an explanation of why young folks
leave home. 1t is very simple.
The city fathers of SCOTS Blur
passed an ordinance forbidding all
forms of dancing and motion pictures.
They passed curfew law forbid
ding any persons under twenty one
years of age from being away from
home after o'clock in the evening.
Then the young people of SCOTS Bluff
packed up their valises and sought
new worlds to conquer.
After reciting these facts the Mis-
souri, editor draws the natural con-
clusion. but adds: And yet SCOTS
Bluff fathers and mothers this very
day are wondering why it is that
desire at railroad trains to the out
side world" He doesn't give the
Scots Bluff parents credit for much
intelligence. Perhaps he is right. He
assumes the city fathers are repre-
sentative of the family fathers.
But there is one point which he
overlooks or touches so subtly that
it is in danger of being lost entirely.
Ignorance. stupidity, abstraction or
some equally dangerous characteristic
allows the parents of this Nebraska
community to allow their children to
be driven away Dy rlSlo ana rlolcu-
Ious laws which deprive them of lib
erty. Later they awake to the fact
that the children are gone. but do not
even then recognize the cause of the
loss.
A similar situation obtains through
out the country. Ignorant, stupid.
distracted or otherwise unbalanced
citizens go about their own narrow
lives while the energetic but de-
luded minority get together and slip
over laws which leave them dazed.
