HELPING S

Senator King Of Utah introduced a resolution
in the senate appropriating $4,000, 900 for fam
inc relief in Russia. There are very grave doubts
whether the people of this country favor the
appropriation of this or any other sum of public
money at this time for this purpose.
The help which Hoover has offered to the
Russians is out of funds privately subscribed.
He is undertaking the feeding of a certain num-
Der of starving Russians in his private capacity
as head of certain relief organizations and not
as a public official.
That is an entirely different proposition from
levying taxes and thus compelling every tax
payer to share in the charitable enterprise,
whether or not he wants to.
There are a lot of pretty clear thinking people
IN this country who question the wisdom Of the
policy of helping the Russians, either privately
or publicly.
Their idea is that the causes of the Russian
famine are such that they will be recurrent
every year until sovietism, with all its attendant
chaos and horrors, is overthrown. And they
argue that the best way to bring about this
overthrow is to let nature take its course in
inexorable processes.
The statement Of Hoover that ''the famine In
Russia is of an extent entirely beyond the re-
sources of all the available private charities of
the world in these times of economic hardship.
sharply raises the question as to what the policy
of the governments is to be.
1t is a big question and there is much to be
said on both sides of it.

CANNED VOICES

SktN LII kOlILo
The singers of the olden time were
silenced when they reached the tomb,
no voice, majestic and sublime,
emerges from the final gloom. We
hear of human nightingales whose
singing gained our fathers praise;
their fame still lives in bearded tales
come down from dead and distant
days. But when they left this life
of stress. their music ceased forever
more; we'll never hear their tones
unless 1t be upon some other shore.
But now dead singers leave behind
the record of their skill and power:
my timeworn photograph I wind,
and hear Caruso by the hour. A
hundred years from now, I wot, such
music mills will still be wound. and
that grand voice will hit the spot,
and charm the listeners around. And
though Caruso lies asleep, through
put the world. on all its shores in
humble cot and stately keep, his
voice still rolls, and throbs. and scars.
me 1t seems a wondrous thing that
when a man Is in his grave, I still
can hear him grandly sing great
songs, triumphant, strong and brave.
1 would that monographs were made
ere Eve first struck the breakfast
gong and Adam, in a sunflecked
glade, sent forth the races primal
song. Great singers lived in every
age. and when they died their voices
ceased; oh. could I hear the psalm

Merely having two members Of the City Plan
Commission on a committee that is to take up a
matter that ought to have had the serious con-
from the beginning is getting nowhere as far
as a comprehensive city plan is concerned. 1t
may be said that the crossing matter came as a
surprise to the city at this time. But If the City
Plan Commission had been on the Job there
would have been no surprises as far as any
major improvement such as the elimination of
grade crossings is concerned.
The only way to consider a city plan is to
look into the future. This cannot be done by a
mixed committee, such as the aldermen have
appointed to meet with the Central railroad Of
hcials. This committee can hardly arrive at any
plan of its own so hurriedly. The best it can do
is to consider the plans Of the railroad company
and make as good a guess as possible as to
what will be to the greatest interest OF the city.
That is the way all our improvements are
made. 1t is a narrow, short-sighted policy. 1t
is not the way to build a great city. 1t is not
in accord with efficiency and saving the taxpay-
ers' money. BY such a hodge-podge method we
will get nowhere of our own accord. What
progress we make will be in accordance with
plans Of others and drawn to suit the conven-
fence Of others first.
Perth Amboy needs a real city plan. but 1t
looks as IL the men at the head of affairs were
not big enough to rise to the occasion and trust
Real leadership is lacking to make Perth Am
boy the metropolis that nature has made posi-

LAZINESS
BY DIR. W. e. BARTON

Now this mai Is about forty. He
has taken careful account. and has
discovered that, having no one but
himself to look after. he can live
comfortably on his income.
He has retired from business at
the age of forty. He says he Is MOI
in very good health and he does
nothing but play a little golf.
And that is the kind of man whose
father put a mortgage on the farm
for his sake. and whose mother
worked her fingers to the bone to
keep him in school. And he never
has done a thing for any human soul.
The world has too many lazy peo-
Pile. They ought to have their entire
income taxed away. and they should
be compelled to produce something
that the world needs.
Laziness is not simply an unde-
sirable habit. 1t is a betrayal OF
trust. It is a sin against society.
We owe it to human life, In all the
complex demands of it's conditions,
to be Industrious and productive.
A lazy man is civilizations Stacker.
He should be starved into industry.

VIEWS AND REVIEWS
RUNYON,S

Senator Runyon's campaign for the Republic
can nomination for governor is a good deal like
Tennyson's brook-it seems to run on forever.
1t is a ceaseless, noiseless campaign; it is a
campaign with the attributes of the man
stamped we'll upon its workings.
Senator Runyon goes about from place to
place, where it is at all possible to accept
speaking invitations for he is most generous in
that regard.
speaker far above the average. He is also a man
far above the average in public life in New Jer-
sey.
The remarkable thing about his candidacy,
aside from the progress he seems to be making
day in and day out, is the fact that the Republi-
can politicians instead of jumping at a chance
to have so admirable a man for governor, are
lying awake nights trying to devise ways and
means of picking a man who can beat Runyon.
Two years ago they picked a man who could
beat Runyon, but the trouble was the man
could not beat the Democratic candidate.-Hud
