GOOD NEWS FROM THE COAST

European markets for American goods are
still anything but satisfactory. The waste of
war in many lands. and the waste of industrial
strife in many others. have robbed our best Gus
toners of the ability to buy from us on any
conditions which the financial situation would
make profitable. 1t is otherwise in the Far
East.
The Orient has at last begun to buy and the
congestion of merchandise in Chinese and Jap
anese ports is being dissipated rapidly. Coast
shippers are notifying their eastern agents that
there are plenty of cargoes for the ships regular
Iy in the trans-Pacifc trade. 1t will not be long
before the ubiquitous tramp steamer will have
a chance for profitable voyages.
Just now wheat, flour and lumber are most in
demand. The Far East has always been a heavy
buyer of American wood, and the orders of
Chinese railways for twelve million ties have
greatly stimulated the trade. Then, too, the
demand for cereals has summed large proper
tons in recent months and it is stimated that
no less than 10000 tons of wheat will go for
ward during the fall and early winter.
The West has had it's troubles along with the
rest of the country in the year past. but the
worst Of it is over, there as well as elsewhere.
The revival of Far Eastern trade cannot but
have it's beneficial effect in every state in the
Union before long.

THE CANToNNfENT SCHOOLS

There is little doubt that the plan for using
cantonments for vocational training schools for
disabled service men will be carried out.
Under the plan four United States Vocational
Universities will be put into action, in the East,
South, Middle West and on the Pacific coast.
In each case a government army cantonment
will be used as the site for the new school. The
branches to be taught will be agriculture, ele-
mentary and academic sciences and trades Of
infinite variety.
In speaking of the plan Director Forbes OF
the veterans relief bureau said:
is all wrong and the veterans bureau will cor
rect it. It i. my plan to establish four vocational
universities. These universities will properly
house the men, properly provide them with the
right kind Of subsistence, and permit men with
antilles to have their families at the univer-
stiles"
The use OF the cantonments for vocational
training is a favorite idea with President Har-
ding and he has asked for prompt reports on its
feasibility and the best way for going about it.
The present plan is to start the first university
within ninety days. the initial work to begin
with 1000 men in training.
The environments offer space for going about
the rehabilitation of the nations 80, 900, or more,
patients on a scale commensurate with the prob
lem and the deserts of the men involved. The
more quickly the plan goes into full operation
the better.

We were going up the Tennessee
river and we a at a table across
from a pleasant couple who had, as
nearly as we could discover, only
one fault. They could decide upon
nothing without long discussion.
Those discussions were wholly har-
monious. There was no disagree
ment, but only the long and pains
taking weighing of all possible and
impossible considerations.
They found hat they had brought
with them more wraps than they
needed; and as they planned for a
trip by carriage before their return,
all superfiuous wraps were in their
way. They discussed long what they
should send back, and decided upon
a heavy cloak. Then they discussed
how to get it back to their home,
and after long conference decided
upon parcels post.
Then. the mighty question rose,
from what point should they ship
it back? After much inquiry a port
was decided upon, where the boat
would make a long stop on a given
afternoon.
These good people had a state
room next to ours. On the night be-
fore the eventful day when the
cloak was to be returned, they dis
cussed the matter long into the
night. They rose earlier than usual
next morning. and folded and wrap
ped the cloak.

The first big Bible class supper of
the boys department of the Y. NJ. c.
A. will take place Friday night at
$3.50 in the association auditorium
when it is expected that the rally
will draw about seventy members. A
program consisting of music and
speeches following good "eats' has
been planned.
The popular Saturday night en-
tertainments of last year will be con-
tinued, commencing the coming Sat-
urday night. Members of the de-
partment and their friends are urged
to attend.
Special movies for the boys will
start a week from Friday night.
The Bible classes this year will be
comparatively small, consisting of
about ten members each. Monthly
suppers will be the order, the class
es having the highest percentage in
its activities for the month getting
their suppers free.
The big effort of the year, called
the Christian Citizenship Training
Corps. has completed the first test
which was of a physical nature. The
test for this week will be of a relig-
ious trend. The prizes for the move
ment at the end of the season will
be free vacations at Camp Waway-

VIEWS AND REVIEWS
Editorial Comment From Other Newspapers
SAVING PUBLIC MONEYS

Assistant State Purchasing Agent Joseph
NJ. Coyle told the convention of state treasurers,
comptrollers and auditors, at Atlantic City last
week that in seventeen items of food bought for
various institutions his department had in one
year saved to the state S44, 600, the purchases
having been made for that much less than the
average market price. which is the best whole
sale price at the original source of supply"
Under the old careless method the institution
heads would have bought from personal or po-
liticaI favorites and paid considerably more
than the best wholesale price. p
Last year Mr.. Coyle said his department
bought $4,000 tons of coal at a price of $1.40
per ton under the market, making a saving of
S21, 900; on a single item of printing recently a
price was obtained 81. 800 less than had been
quoted to the using agency itself. (which had
endeavored to get a fair estimate" Undesirable
vendors-dealers who attempt TO foist upon the
state articles that are under the standard agreed
upon, are disqualified from doing business with
the purchasing department.
That is the kind of news the taxpayers like to
hear-not the stuff that is being put out by the
salaried publicity agents employed by several
Of the departments to satisfy the vanity or mag
Nifty the importance of department heads or to
boost some scheme, such as the Lewis $14, 000,-
600 bonding fad. Mr.. Coyle says his department
has no favorites and fears no power or influence.
II is perfectly safe so long as it is giving results,
and there is no doubt that it is saving many
thousands of dollars yearly to the taxpayers

THE SENATORIAL CANDIDATES

Fred w. Devoe, who is the Democratic can
didate for senator. has announced his platform
upon which he seeks election. In his statement
accompanying his platform Mr.. DeVoe practi-
cary regulates the Democratic platform as
Drawn up by the state convention yesterday
even before the convention is held.
At it was practically a foregone conclusion
that the state convention would adopt whatever
kind Of a platform Jim Nugent drew up and
took to Trenton with him, no one can blame
Mr.. Devoe for staying away from the conven-
ton and announcing his own platform. His ac-
ton shows a commendable independence that
cannot help but strengthen his candidacy. Mr..
Devoe is a loyal Democrat and an organization
man. but he is no dummy for Jim Nugent-never
has been in all his career in the lower house Of
the legislature and apparently never intends
to be.
The platform on which Mr.. Devoe will stand
in the campaign is a good one; it will meet
with the approval of a great majority of the
people. His economy plank and open specifca-
tions on all road work are especially good. They
are commonsense ideas wholly within the posi-
bilities of being carried out.
The Democratic senatorial candidate is very
well and favorably known in this section and
were 1t not for the even better known and popu-
lar gentleman from this city, Morgan F. Larson,
who is his opponent. he would poll a big vote
here. 1t is a fine thing 20 have good men on
both tickets. but the regrettable feature is that,
in such a case. one good man has got to be de-
feated.
If almost anyone else besides Morgan Larson
were running on TIE Republican ticket we would
wish that Mr.. Deyoe might be elected. As it
is. however, the voters of this section, regardless
of politics. will almost unanimously cast their
ballot for the popular Perth Amboy man and
he will run strong everywhere else in the county
where the people have a chance to know him.
But we will all keep Mr.. Devoe in mind for
another time.
