THE RIGHT THING TO DO

Commendable action is being taken by the
Board of Aldermen in regard to the purchase
Of the Meredith property on Market street be-
tween Water and Front streets. Here is a
chance to secure not only a valuable addition
to the present little park there, but once 1t be-
comes city property the size can be more than
doubled by filling in as far as the bulkhead line.
BY also securing as much of the property on the
south of the present park as may be on the
market at this time Perth Amboy can be said
to have really started her Riverside Drive.
To make a cleanup of the whole matter, the
negotiations that have been pending with the
Perth Amboy Gas Light Company for the pur-
chase of the gas works site on the river front
adjoining Caledonia park ought to be closed
and the gas works removed.
Then, indeed. will the city be in a fair way
to proceed to give the people some real parks.
The big municipal development for the next
few years ought to be in this direction. With
the possession of the land here mentioned in
addition to what the city already owns, some
thing really worth while can be done toward
giving Perth Amboy a park system worthy Of
a city of this size and character.
Let the aldermen keep on with the nego-
tiations they have now started. The future de-
velopment and welfare of the city Is at stake.

Our Own AstrolOger

lowing forecast for the summer OF l92l from
the great astrologer, Bum .Bunkem: -,
During the Summer of 1921, saturn VIII

as little as possible; that the sun Will SHINE
when the weather isn't rainy; that the hooch
market will remain strong; that neither OF tne
straw hats will be worn as usual; that there
will be no quartets at near-beer parties; that

rides will end in sorrow; that people will come
home broke from their vacations, and tnat

Upper Silesia.

TINE most encouraging aspect Ofthe upper Siesian
sitaation is the fact that the same body Of men
which worked the alternative solution to
the reparaton dispute is engaged in devising
solution Of this problem
Conditions in the pebscite have not mn
proved during the past week In spite Of truce which
reported to have been arranged between the Ger
and Poles, fighting has been going and con-
siderable losses have been suffered by both sides Brit
sh troops beginning to arrive in the district but
at this time their presence has not reulted in inn
provement in the situation in the precipitation of
the crisis which has been prophesied by Germans
The requests Of the British and Italians to caf an
early meeting Of the supreme council for discussion
OF the upper Silesian question have been put off by
Premier BRAND who has been having his hands full
with his political troubles and who is reported
favorng the appointment of commission to investi-
gate and report present conditions in the districts
where the disturbances have been occurring.
By the time the supreme council meets to consider
this question however it is possible that the repara-
ton commission will have evolved plan Of settle
ment which is based considerations which eco
nomc we'll political and which may, therefore,
provide way out Although plan Of this kind will
be unsatisfactory to the chauvnists it will be much
more practicable than any proposal made thus far.

British Coal Strike.

A NEW attempt has been made by Prime Minis
~ ter Lloyd George to find plan which will be
acceptable to both miners and owners the
basis Of discussion which might lead to settlement
OF the costly coal strike. The prime minister has
representatives of both parties and made proposals
them These proposals. unfortunately, were interpret
ed by the miners representatives being equivalent
to threat Of compulsory arbitration in the
parties to the controversy unwilling or unable
to reach voluntary agreement Although Mr. Lloyd
George Immediately denied that his suggestions
in the nature of umatum the rumor has caused
good deal of bitterness among the miners, who
strongly opposed to any sort of compulsory settlement
and who have voted against any consideration of the
government proposal this ground.
There is some encouragement to be found in
of the president of the Miners federation
that his organization would not insist upon any
ticular idea the basis of settlement intmatng that
they were willing to abandon the plan for national
pool Of profits if they assured Of fair wages and
satisfactory working conditions The demand for the
establishment OF this pool has been the chief obstacle
to resumption Of discussions with the owners.
Another significant development in the situation is
the decision Of the rawaymen and transport workers
to resume the handling of imported COAL which they
had previously refused to do the ground that it
was equivalent to assisting the government and the
owners to break the strike.
The indications that the government is pre-
pared exert heavy pressure the owners and the
miners to bring about a resumption of conferences.
The new proposals which w6re acceptable to neither
party may be altered way may be found to effect
the reopenng of negotiations without the formal par
ticipation of the government.

The New President in China.

THOSE who able to follow intelligently the
devious and intricate developments in Chinese
politics express but little enthusiasm over the
election of DIR. Sun Yat Sen, by parliament assem-
bIed at Canton, extraordinary president Of China
This parliament from which DR.. Sun received his au-
thority does not of course represent the whole of
China and its right elect president Is based on
the claim that it is composed of the members of a
properly elected parliament, which illegally dis
solved by President Ii Yuan Hung. AS matter OF
fact what really has occurred is that DR.. Sun has
taken the Of the province Of Canton
and has invited number of politicians at present in
the bad graces of the nominal rulers at Peking to
join him in establishing rival government.
Dr. Sun is confronted with many serious problems
In the first place thsre is the matter Of funds The
attempts Cantons share of the customs re-
ceipts have not been successful and without this or
similar source Of revenue the government will
have great difficulty in holding the support Of those
who have for the time being given it their allegiance.
There is also the question of securing foreign recog
niton and there is finally the internal problem of the
powerful Tuchuns, who rule their provinces inde-
pendent states and who more likely to bow to
the authority of Canton than to that of Peking Fur
thermore DR.. Sun has lost of the prestige in
foreign quarters which he had at the time Of the
revolution in 1911. He Is regarded by many =
radical whose abilities lie in destructive rather than in
constructive activities

Another State Builder Gone

For many years Pueblo has felt it honor to count
among her citizens James N. Garlic well known

consideration pioneer and state builder. As a
state and county official builder of railroads and
other material improvements, stockgrower, and az
citizen always honorable in his personal and business
relations to the community in which he lived and TO
the persons with whom he had to deal Mr.. Garlic held
a high place in the of his fellow
His death again calls attention to the departure of
most of the who laid the foundations Of this state
and who laid broad lines its OF
The results of their efforts the main far greater
than the most sanguine of them could have imagined
But tho their work well done it will have failed
Of its main purpose unless the of today their
oessors carry forward the development of the state in
the spirit and along the same lines and with the
purpose.
Colorado needs today more of the spirit of the
pioneers More of their unconquerabc determination
more Of their supreme confidence, of their I'M
bounded faith in the destiny of this great
wealth and in its superiority TO other lands less richly
endowed than this with all that makes life of superior
value to mankind To speak well of the fathers is of
small consequence unless the to their inher
itance carry their work.
Pueblo is more fortunate than many other cities
in the number of younger men who worhily bear the
names and forward the work and maintain the ideals
Of the pioneer state builders.

Boy Scout Week

There few organizations in the United States
today that universally approved the Boy Scouts
1t could not have reached its present position if it had
not commended itself to the favor of the boys and the
favorable Judgment of the fathers and mothers and of
the public generally is in truth little than
milton of the fact that the Boy Scouts organization is
giving the boys of America what the boys want, and
getting practical results that the boys themselves know
to be worth getting.
Here in Pueblo the Boy Scouts have met with a
higher Of than has been the turnout
the country. This is due in part to the fact that local
conditions exceptionally favorable to that movement
and part the fact that the local Boy Scout officials
have been exceptionally successful in their work Both
of these facts good reasons why the Boy Scouts
should have the support from the public that is neces
sary for the continuation of their work.
