really means and has the punch to put 1t across.
A General Dawes for New Jersey has yet to be
produced.
Yet there is nothing more essential from the
taxpayers standpoint than a real state budget
providing for rigid economy in every branch
of the states activities. The people are bur-
dened to death with taxes. Last year the ex-
penses of the state increased normous in
spite of the general trend downward in neigh
buring states.
New Jersey is face to face with a state income
tax on top of all the other taxes. Economy In
state affairs is the slogan that will win this
fall and the candidates who go before the voters
on such a platform are going to be elected.
Taxes have got to be reduced, and that means
there has got to be an end to the sinecures and
soft snaps at Trenton. Men who draw TAT

custom now in vogue is to give the high salaried

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
A IDLE TEARS

IIsfAIhS, LILLE lLAIAlto
1t doesn't help, when troubles
here, to shed the hrackish, briniy
tear 1 well recall the fateful day
when my old hen refused to lay; l
needed eggs to poach ana boil, and
brace me up for honest toll; but
when 1 sought the biddy's coop,
she'd laid no eggs, and cared no
whoop. And 1 had fed her costly
hay and kindred grub, that she
might lay. L might have wept and
torn my hair and rent my beard
in my despair: instead of that l
seized the fowl, beheaded her, de-
spite her howl, and had her for my
evening meal, and then remarked,
How good l feel" And 50 I make
the best of things when grief In my
direction swings. 1 once possessed
a balky steed and when 1t baked
twas vain to plead, or weep, or let
hot language roll, or soak 1t with
q cedar pole. When on a journey /
would start, 1 took some volumes
in the cart; when balkiness obsessed
the steed. I'd open some good book
and read, and spend an hour in
comfort there, instead of paving of
the air. And when the horse de-
sired to go, I'd speak a loud com
manding "Whoa!" And so he quit
the baking game and as a trotter
earned much fame, became the best
of bald-faced roans, and brought me
in two hundred bones. 1 always
make the best of Things, and am
as happy as nine kings.

S3S2,256 FROM RIPARIAN
RIGHTS MADE IN STATE

IBy Evening News Correspondent
TRENTON, July 15:-Receipts OF
the riparian branch of the State
Department of Commerce and Navi-
cation for the fiscal year ending last
June 80 amounted to $3S2,256.11. OF
this amount $~368,44S.10 was derived
from riparian grants; $12,555.51
from sand royalties, a new sources
Of income. and ~$1,272.50 from IL
enses and easements.
In addition to the foregoing the
board entered into leases for rirlri.
an lands to the amount Of $1,339,.
1872, from which the state will
derive an annual revenue of eve
per cent. The latest lease of ripa-
rian rights ever made by the state
was entered into last year with the
L~uckenbach Terminal Company for
riparian rights in the Hudson river
to the amount of $1,250,O00.
AS a result Of more than two years
of work the board has collected up
wards of $4,000 as royalties for
sand taken by dredging companies
from the Delaware river, this being
a new source of revenue. The board
has entered into an agreement with
five dredging companies conducting
operations in the Delaware covering
a period of five years. Under these
agreements the state will receive
two cents a cubic yard for all ma.
terial removed from the river bed.

WASHINGTON IN MARBLE
AND BRONZE
By Frederic j. Haskin.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 15.-London now
has a bronze copy of the Houdon statue OF
George Washington. Paris has had it's bronze
copy since 1910, in the Palace of Versailles.
Washington has its bronze and plaster copies.
The Richmond state capitol has the original.
Besides the various copies of his famous work
Houdon has been further immortalized in that
almost every sculptor who has essayed to make
a figure of Washington has gone to his model
for correctness of features and dimensions.
Houdon's statue has become the accepted like
ness of the Father Of His Country as he really
was.
That Houdon's Washington is a piece of
authentic realism there can be no doubt.
Houdon, painter to kings, came from france
to spend two weeks at Mt. Vernon studying his
subject. AT this time, Washington allowed the
sculptor to make q mask of his face. head ana
chest. and from the mask HOudon modelled ms
statue that was to make it impossible Tor later
generations of s%culptors to speculate as to the
of his Jaw. Painters may make portraits or
Washington so different in expression and
feature that we can scarcely imagine the same
man as the subject of all Of them. but Houdons
mark is Washington.
A mask, it is true does not show the race
in any animated expression. 1t must necessarily
be a face in absolute repose. For this reason
some artists have claimed that the best paint
ings of Washington and other heroes come
nearer to creating a true impression of the man
as he actually looked than statues made from
masks. On this connoisseurs differ. The statue
of Houdon shows Washington strong and dlgnl-
fed of face, as Eo must often have looked at

pull"
All this has got to end II the taxpayers OF
New Jersey are to be given a square deal, and
judging from the way the taxes are piling up
the taxpayers are going to insist upon being
heard on this matter.
A budget system is a fine thing IL It is handled
properly. but 1t requires a real man, not a poll
tician, to handle it. without a budget system
economy is practically impossible. With a
budget commission at work in New Jersey the
people have a right to expect a decided reduc-
ton in state expenditures and a genuine
economy this coming year.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-07-15

Democrats in the United States senate are not
gaining any political prestige for their party
by opposing the recommitment of the bonus
bill to the finance committee, to be held until
the nation is in better financial condition to
handle it. 1t is the foolish notion Of some
politicians that they must oppose every i'm
portant move made by the opposing party
regardless of merit. Therefore, when a Repub-
lican president urges a certain action 1t is
'good politics. for the Democrats to oppose it.
Doubtless some of the Democratic senators
think they will be able to win the so-called
soldier vote by making a brave stand in favor
of passing the bonus bill at this time. But they
are fooling no one-but themselves. In the
nrst place, we believe the vast majority of the
ex-service men to be just as patriotic in sup
porting the government in times of peace as
they were in times Of war. They must GER
tainly see the reasonableness of the stand taken
by the President against a bonus bill at this
time when every effort is being made to ease
I'D the financial strain on the treasury SO as
TO reduce taxes and get business back to normal.
In the second place the veterans know per-
fectly well that the Democrats are safe in
urging the bonus bill at this time because they
are 80 far in the minority that they could not
pass it. AS a matter OF fact they ola not pass
It when they were in control. Secretary Glass,
of President Wilson's cabinet. was just as
strongly opposed to a bonus bill at this time
a. is Secretary Mellon of President Harding's
cabinet. 1t is politics pure and simple that
certain Democrats are trying to play In the
senate today. The boys cannot help but
resent such a miserable and insincere attempt
to win their favor. The little game the Demo-
cratic senators are playing in this matter Is
likely to do them more harm than good. 1t
only helps to prove their incompetency at this
crisis in government affairs.

Yesterday we saluted France, and
remembered with rejoicing her strug-
gle for liberty which is commemora-
ted in the fall OF the Bastille. July
IA. 1888.
Now let us ask ourselves why the
French Revolution was not as sue
cessful az our own?
| One reason is that in the hour of
her supreme crisis, her liberty-lov-
ing leadership failed. Lafayette was
a great and good man; but he was
not a Washington.
After the fall Of the Bastille,
France was sure she had her Wash
ington.
In 1892. Lafayette was in COM
mand of her armies, and those
armies were strong enough to re-
sist the invasion of the Prussians.
+ But while Lafayette was driving
back the hereditary foes of France
without her borders. the people of
Paris rose. and dethroned the king,
and made Lafayette their chief ex-
ecutive.
Lafayette Fearful.
But Lafayette feared what we now
called the bolshevistic element in de-
mocracy: he did not quite dare to
trust the people. He resigned his
command, and withdrew from
France.
Then the Assembly declared La
fayette a traitor.
With Lafayette gone, came
Robespierre, the mar of blood, and
the guillotine was busy day and
night until the good day when it fell
upon the neck of Robespierre him.
self.
Could Lafayette have saved France
from Robespierre? We do not know.
What we do know is that the
leadership of the new republic failed
1t in the hour of its crisis: Lafayette
was not a Washington. He was a
good man, and in many respects a
brave man, but he lacked courage
for the supreme test.
Great Leaders Needed.
And the grim humor of the situa-
ton is in this. that the man who
ultimately gave to Lafayette his per-
sonal freedom in France was no
other than Napoleon Bonaparte.
Let not America glory at the K
pense of France. Our leadership
has failed us NOR ethan once, not in
crises so tremendous but still in
emergencies so great as to give us
pause.
A republic can eve be perma-
nently safe except as it raises UP
