You'll HELP GERMANY PAY

Congressman who are skilled at slipping jok-
ers into legislation will grin at the deft manner
in which the German reichstag accepts the AL
lies ultimatum.
Germany promises to pay as demanded and
will carry out the terms of the peace treaty
'to the capacity of the nation to do So"
You'll hear more about that ito the capacity"
later on when the bill collectors knock at Ger
nany's door. "Yes-but' and 'provided-if"
are all any lawyer needs to stall a case.
Germany's acceptance of the indemnity con-
Germs the United States directly In two ways:
FIRST-It may help the Allies to pay at
least the interest on what they owe Uncle Sam.
sECoND-The rs per cent. export tax on
German goods will operate as a protective tar
III in favor of American manufac turers-and
against American consumers.
1t will increase by rs per cent. the lowest
prices at which German goods are being brought
m American markets, undertaking American
made goods.
It YlJlalso increase by 2s per cent. the selling
price of German-made goods in all world mar
kets. This will help American exporters. In
many line. notably finished steel. Germany is
now underselIing American exports 60 per cent.
in foreign markets.
The export tax, of course, is added to the
selling prices of goods. A majority of these
goods will be bought by Americans and other
allied peoples. In other words, the American
or other consumer of German wares will help
pay the indemnity for Germany.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE LEADER

In view of the municipal elections held IN
Newark and Jersey City or Tuesday. the Jersey
Journal of Jersey City, sees Frank Hague. of
that city, the new Democratic state leader re-
placing James r. Nugent. of Newark. 1t seems
that sHague won out handsomely in
Jersey City, the Nusent ticket in Newark got a
hard bump.
AS a matter of fact, under the Edwards ad-
ministration Frank Hague has had more in
fluence at Trenton than Nugent and the Jersey
City man has been accepted as state leader as
Ear as the Democrats are concerned ever since
Governor Edwards set out to make New Jersey
as wet as the Atlantic ocean. But while Nugent
has been somewhat in the background, he is
not side-stepping in favor of Hague, by any
means.
As far as the people of New Jersey are con-
cerned, it makes no difference which one of
these two men is recognized as the Democratic
state leader. AS long as either of them is thus
recognized the Democratic party in New Jersey
cannot command the respect of the better class
of voters throughout the state, no matter how
much they may disapprove the policy of the
Republican party. No man can follow the
leadership of either Hague or Nugent and keep
his hands clean. The outlook is certainly dark
for the New Jersey Democracy.

steps to secure this Meredith property and also
the property Immediately to the south of the
present park to be used for the public. Future
generations will appreciate such a step more
than we of today. although even now the ad-
vantages OF such a purchase are apparent.
There is reason to believe that satisfactory
terms could be made with the owners of both
these tracts in regard to the terms of purchase.
1t might be that they would take city bonds in
exchange thus making unnecessary the placing
Of bonds on the market. Or, If bonds cannot
be issued possible a contract or bill of sale
could be made. The matter is at least worth
looking into.
Al the same time. it is well to remember that
action was taken some time ago to buy the gas
works property along the river front adjoining
Caledonia park at the foot of High street. This
gas plant is out of place in it's present location,
being in the midst of one of the most desirable
residential sections in the city. The gas COM
pany has got to enlarge it's plant, but it is will
ing to go lsewhere if the city will take present
location off its hands.
Perth Amboy needs this gas works property
to complete its holdings along the river front.
This whole stretch from the railroad around
the Bluff ought to be devoted to the use OF the
people. The city owes it to the people to do
something for them along this line. Parks and
Fairgrounds the city must have and there is no
more appropriate place for parks than along
the waterfront. Instead of having the property
sewed up in the possession of a few individ-
uals, it ought to be open to all on equal terms.
The city now has an opportunity that may never
come again. By all means, seize the opportunity
while it is here. There is nothing that will
give greater enjoyment to the people, making
Perth Amboy a better and happier place to live
in, and, at the same time. the assets of the city
will be greatly increased. The city officials
cannot well afford to ignore this matter.

HibrOw Poetry.

We have often tried to hold modern maya
zine poetry up to ridicule. And we have paro-
died 1t and written mean things about it. So
we'll ask you to read this gem of the modern
school published in Current Opinion. Carl
Sandburg wrote it. Carl is one of the leaders
of the cult started by Amy Lowell. Here y'are:
My shirt is a token and a symbol,
more than a lover for sun and rain
my shirt is a signal.
and a teller of souls.
I can take off my shirt and tear It,
and so make a ripping razzly noise,
and the people will say,
Look at him tear his shirt"
I can keep my shirt on.
I can stick. around and sing like a. little bird
and look 'em all in the eye and never be faxed.
l can keep my shirt on.
Now this isn't supposed to be funny. 1t is
a very serious pome, and has a deep meaning
for long-haired men and short-haired women.
No wonder Chicago has become the literary
center OF America!

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER

A bill by Senator McCumber would
provide for the establishment Of .
Roosevelt National Park in Billings
county, North Dakota, that part Of
the state in which the famous Ameri-
can spent some years of his earlier
life on cattle ranch. Such men,
orial is regarded as peculiarly fitting
to a man of Colonel Roosevelt's
characteristics. The great vigor and
energy for which the former president
was noted was often subscribed by
him as due in great part to his rugged
life in the west and his associations
while there undoubtedly had much to
do in fostering the sympathy for that
region that so characterized his work
in later years. The time for the es-
tablishment of the park, too, seems
opportune since many of the old
timers in and about Billings county
still cherish fond memories of the
Colonel and his cowboy days and with
their counsel and assistance, which is
yet available, the work of building
suitable memorial with appropriate
settings would certainly be better done
now than at some later date when
cooperation might not be possible.
The United States as a nation, has
been all too neglectful Of such sent
mental memorials in the past.
Mount Vernon, the historical home of
George Washington, almost under
the shadow of the Capitol, is still in
private hands and an admittance fee
is charged at the gate to all who enter.
While the patriotic society which has
the custody of the Washington home
conducts the nations shrine in COM
mendable fashion the thought that
the place is not conducted by the
government is obnoxious to many
people. Only recently a movement
was launched to preserve the Robert

SCHOOLS TO OFFER FARM COST
COURSE

Fargo, N. D. Aug.9-Farm account
ing will be included in the course of
study of all consolidated schools and
in the upper grades of some one-room
schools of North Dakota next year,
from Miss Minnie j. Nelson, state
superintendent Of schools. A text
on farm accounting is being prepared
for use in the course by Rex e. Will
lard, farm economist at the Agricul-
tural College.
General discussions Of farm ac-
counting and it's necessity on farms
Of the state were given to the entire
enrolment of six summer schools for
teachers during the past few MONTHS"
according to Mr.. Willard. practice
work was given to the teachers who
desired more detailed knowledge of
the subject. In this way about 1900
teachers were reached, and some 300
were given special training which en-
ables them to teach farm accounting
next year. There was splendid re-
Spouse on the part of the teachers,
and indications point to good success
of the project for the coming year."
No previous knowledge of book
keeping is required to teach farm ac-
counting in the schools, with the aid
of the textbook and the farm account
books which are to be available to
teachers and pupils, says Mr.. Willard.
The subject of accounting in the
course will be considered from the
standpoint Of it's practical use in the
farm. The text covers the subject
as it is presented to farmers of the
state. Considerable attention has
been given to the distribution Of the
simplifed farmers account book
which has been prepared by the de-
partment of farm management of the
Agricultural College in cooperation
with the United States Department of
Agriculture. While much value to
producers and to consumers is attach
ed to these efforts to extend business
methods among farmers Of the state,
great importance is given to the new
move to reach the farmers Of the
future with this information.

E. Lee home and the work of gather
ing momentoes of the famous Con-
federate and of the life of the early
south will be very difficult. The
house in which Lincoln died is still
pointed out to Washington visitors
but the place looks like q junk shop
and can not be expected to withstand
the ravages Of time a great while
longer.
If the McCumber bill becomes q
law the Roosevelt Park may be ex-
pected to draw the attention Of visi-
tors from coast to coast. The auto
mobile traffic on the trail to Yellow
stone Park and elsewhere might be
diverted there and such point of in
terest would be credit to the state.
The "old West" is even now all but q
memory and the establishment of a
suitable park would be a work the
Importance of which would increase
as time goes on.
According to report circulating
here the request for the resignation
of S. J. Doyle as United States Mar
shall has gone out from Washington.
In this column some weeks ago it was
stated that the resignation Of Mr..
Doyle might be expected and SEEM
ingly this opinion has now been con-
frmed. What Mr.. Doyle will do
about it remains to be seen. Before it
was said that he might send in his
own retirement papers and drop out
but such has not been the case EVIL
IDENTIFY. In fact Doyle has been
quoted as saying that Democrats
holding office seldom die and never
resign" Which probably means that
Mr.. Doyle will stick" as long as he
can.
1t is understood that the movement
for the removal Of Doyle originated
in the department here, without the
inspiration of anyone from or in
