few words, "Love Thy Neighbor as Thysef."
Those that do not accept inspired words need
not therefore think that Darwin Is their only
authority. Read book by Prince Kropotkin, great
Russian scientist called Mutual Aid as Factor OF
Evolution"
In 1t Kropotkin says and proves that hatred is
the curse of the animal world and it is among men,
and that MUTUAL AID has done more than all
other forces in preserving the individual the family
and the race.
Had you visited one hundred years ago the
shores Of Lake Michigan, seen the great herds Of
deer and packs Of wolves following and tearing
them in the Winter, taking advantage of their help
lessness in the snow you would have said, probably,
There will be wolves Of course as long as there are
any deer for the wolves to eat"
But you would have been mistaken. The wolves
are gone from the shores of Lake Michigan, but the
deer still come down to drink and except for mans
hunger and brutality that kills them they are safe
from the ancient enemy.
WHY? Because the wolves hated each other.
When one wolf was wounded the others ate him up
When danger came each wolf skunk off without
warning his fellows. They acted much as men do
sometimes in the stock gambling market
The gentle deer loved each other, warned each
other If fifty deer were grazing together, every
deer had hundred ears and hundred eyes open
for his safety those of his brothers well his
own. SO the wolves are gone and the deer remain.
They helped each other did not hate men hate each
other and the HATRED BETWEEN MAN AND
MAN stimulated it it stimulates so much evil It
made of hate patriotic duty and that unfortunately
was inevitable.

Tn a. solemn address to the College OF Cardinals,
Pope Benedict outlined five chapters Of the worlds
troubles in way that will appeal to ALL whatever
their religious belief, or their lack OF belief.
"The Pope said that five plaques were now
afflicting humanity. The first was the un-
precedented challenge to authority The
second, an equally unprecedented hatred be-
tween man and man The third was the
abnormal aversion to work. The fourth, the
excessive thirst for pleasure the great aim OF
[ life. And the fifth, a gross materialism that
{ denied the reality of the spiritual in human
: lfe."
Let us discuss the five headings under which
humanity's evils are listed.
CHALLENGE TO AUTHORITY.
Contempt for law means anarchy, anarchy
means death.
Among individuals, and throughout infinite
suace. law rules. Planets revolve around the sun,
the sun pursues its mysterious journey through
space, millions Of suns comets and planets 90 on
their errands, OBEDIENT TO LAW.
The same force and law that cause the sparrow
to fall to the ground, cause the distant sum- one
million times big earth, to stay in its place,
and travel on its journey with its family Of attend
ant planets always punctual.
Human safety is based on law. The sacred ties
of the family the right Of the Industrious self deny
ing man to keep what he has earned all the possbii
ties of progress, are bound up in law and RESPECT
FOR LAW.
The war set law aside. Power to kill was put
above all other power and right. Lives were moth
ing, rights and treaties were nothing, brute force
was all
With all the nations sweeping law aside and
resorting to force, no wonder that individu1}A
miserable poor and ignorant, found initiating in
their feeble way the international CHALLENGE TO
AUTHORITY.

built and schools and churches
-A-- ALI that was WORK, and SO everything else
produced on this continent and on this earth has
been the result of WORK.
There is no real pleasure except pleasure that
comes at the end Of the day and at the end Of life,
when man may say, II haDe .Oorked and haze
earned my rest"
What is worth while? Is it mere amusement.
is it the foolish pleasure that makes forget what
is real and waste their energies what is foolish7
Is it self indulgence that steals from the day to add
folly to the night? No, the only pleasure il

The only real delight is to see something we'll
done. family well cared for children well brought
up and educated DUTY DONE, the world in some
little way made better, or some fellow creature
happier, the world will be better place when men
substitute true ambition for THIRST FOR
PLEASURE.
Fifth, GROSS MATERIALISM.
A mans life and character must go in ono Of
two directions toward the body, the senses physical
self indulgence or toward the spirit toward striving
for that which is worth WHILE above the body above
physical senses.
AS in other things, so in degrading humanity
through sensuality, vile war has played it's part.
with sudden conceit, and ridiculous sense Of their
own Importance.
It has made life seem uncertain and has caused
many to believe that what there is Of life should be
devoted to self indulgence.
The man that Mr.. McCay shows in this picture
of GROSS MATERIALISM is human being
weighing about two hundred pounds. His mind is
on that body slave of that body. 1t feeds the body
clothes it, INDUCES its appetite He lives for the two
hundred pounds of flesh blood and bone that he car
res around with him. He forgets that which has no
weight, no sze no bulk THE SOUL within HIM
All that there is in him. all that he sees all that sur
rounds him, all to which he attaches value would
disappear in fire. Whereas that which he neglects
that which alone will remain forever, THE SPIRIT,
would go through fire and come out purified.
1t will be another world when the five burdens
of the earth five perversons of humanity, shall have
disappeared Civilization will begin, and mon will
rise toward higher spiritual life, leaving behind
GROSS MATERIALISM.

offended him sacred task It made tn conscience
of the world accept poison gas and high explosives
and horrors beyond the dreams of barbarism.
May that hideous war dream fade away and
with it HATRED BETWEEN MAN AND MAN.
AVERSION TO WORK.
The lizard lies in the sun, the pig in his warm
mud the boa constructor stretches itself out on the
rock, the monkey idles all the hours away.
And some men with their AVERSION TO
WORK initiate all of those animals, without the
animals excuse which is that nature made them to
live easily possible and offers then no reward
for hard work. beyond the mere food that an animal
may eat.
To the man that conquers laziness and inertia,
everything is offered honor opportunity to help his
friends the privilege above all of honoring his father
and mother.
Laziness, lack of ambition that shows itself in
effort, and lack of power to wind up the mind and
body to real effort keep many men below the rank Of
the basking lizard, or the big elephant azly swing
ing his trunk.
Greater opportunity, of course, will help. Edu
cation, teaching what is worth WHILE will help.
Meanwhile many that complain of the world think
changed and smiling, If once they could conquer
their AVERSION TO WORK.
THIRST FOR PLEASURE.
It is thirst that can never be quenched, thirst
that like the thirst for alcohol grows and feeds upon
that which it Graves.
Man was made to WORK to find pleasure and
happiness as the reward Of his work
Men found this earth as they found this CONT.

Headquarters for 3 Army
Reserve Units in This CITY

The recent orders of the War De-
partment directing the formation In
the state of New Jersey of the 18th
Division. Organized Reserves. have
now been so far complied with, that
it is possible to give the location of
the more important units of the di-
vision. 1t is known. from informa-
ton just received in this city. that
the headquarters of the division will
be at Newark. Regimental head
quarters 309th Infantry will be at
Camden. 310th at Jersey City, 311th
at Trenton and 312th at Newark.
Headquarters 3O7th Field Artillery
will be at Perth Amboy and 30Sth
f. A. at Hoboken. Paterson gets
headquarters 303rd Engineers and
Newark the 303rd Medical Regiment.
Other special troops are distributed
throughout the state.
The nearest company of infantry
to Perth Amboy will be Company l,
309th Infantry at New Brunswick
and Companies X and M at Asbury
Park. Battery C. 307th F. A. is at
Red Bank. Perth Amboy receives
company of the 303rd Engineers
and the 307th Sanitary company.
1t is understood that officers hold
ing reserve commissions are making
application for assignment to units
of their arm of the service nearest
to their homes, and that announce
ments will appear from time to time.
Service with the reserves does not
involve duty in time of peace other
than fifteen days training per year.
The members are not liable for po-
lice duties. and can only be called
into active service when congress de-
clares that national emergency ex-
lists. At that time the members
join the division to which assigned
in time of peace. go into training.
and proceed to the front with much
the same personnel as they have
been associated with in the reserves.
The 18th has been chosen as the
New Jersey division for the reason
that New Jersey men were in the
majority in that numbered division
in France and their associations will
be thereby preserved.

GALL DORSEY ONLY
~ GOAL PROBE
Two Companies Seeking
So. Amboy FerryFranch

SOUTH AMBOY, Oct. 12:-The
council with the mayor and city
solicitor disclosed the fact that the
Highlands Navigation Company were
not alone considering a ferry pro-
ject to this city. James Van Brunt,
representing the Jersey Coast Ferry
Company, met and disclosed plans
contemplated many months previous
wherein ferry service would be es-
tablished in this city. The latter
company, according to Mr.. Van
Brunt, has filed application with the
New York authorities for a fran
chise and was meeting with opposi-
ton from officials of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Company in the
state of New York.
John j. Scully. who represents the
Highlands Navigation Corporation
in this city. as well as Mr.. Van Brunt
asked that action by the governing
body of the city be deferred until
both ferry companies could meet
and discuss plans whereby some
agreement could be reached between
them.
No action on the matter was taken
and the matter as far as the city is
concerned now rests with the High
lands Navigation Corporation, which
firm has made application for the
franchise.
The site selected and which meets
with the approval of the city fathers
and the people of the city In general
is at the foot of Henry street at the
old city dock.
Extensive improvements as set
forth in the application for the nee
essary franchise will be made to the

The man who saw the Klansman
is Vernon Calender, colored, of 1S9
Hall avenue, and in his report to
officer John Riedy after the incident
he said that he was absolutely sure
he had seen the figure at close quar-
ters about 4:30 o'clock yesterday
morning while on his way home
from work. Calender informed the
officer that he was very much fright
ened at the sight of the mysterious
white robed stranger. although no
effort to molest him was made by
the representative of the invisible
empire"
So frightened was he. continued
Calender, that he ran home as fast
as he could and took refuge under
the bed, not daring to come out for
a half hour. When he had recover
ed somewhat from his fright he re-
ported the matte to Officer Riedy.
This is the second notice received
by the authorities in regard to the
existence of the organization in this
city and it is believed that an inves-
tigation into the possible workings
of the Ku Klux Klan will be insti-
tuted shortly.
On October 4 Frank Pinkovich, of
334 Summit avenve. notified the
police that on the preceding night
he had perceived band of six white
robed mysterious figures gathered IN
the shadows near Lehigh Park. AL
though the alleged Klansmen did
not attempt to halt him Pinkovich
took flight to the nearest house,
where he organized an investigating
committee.
A few minutes later Pinkovich, ac-
companied by several friends, ap-
preached the spot where he had seen
the figures. They could see moth
ing suspicious this time. but called
out and asked this masked men to
make themselves known. However,
the band had disappeared.
The incident of last night, being
the second in less than two weeks,
gives rise to the conviction that there
really is some foundation for the be-
lief that the Klan is represented in
Perth Amboy. Calender told
straight story to Officer Riedy when
he informed him of the occurrence
and there is little reason to doubt
the truth of his statement. The news
of the second appearance of the Klan
has spread about the city with con-
siderable rapidity and is being wide
ly discussed. Some are frankly
skeptical and some are derisive. but
others are accepting the rumor as
probable fact.

is Only Dealer to Get Sub
poena From Mackay Leg
iSlative Committee
FACTION POLITICS limited
Investigation of Local Coal
Situation Will be Started
Here Tomorrow Morning

When the Mackay legislative COM
mittee conducting the state probe OF
coal prices and alleged combines,
sits in this city tomorrow indications
at this time are, that only one coal
firm of the city will be called be-
fore it. This belief is strengthened
somewhat by the fact that only the
firm of e. j. Dorsey & Son has been
subpoenaed to appear before the
committee up to this time. AS to-
day is a holiday, it does not seem
likely that subpoenas will be issued
to the other firms at this time.
Rumor has it that factional poll
tics here is playing an important
part in the visit of the probe COM
mittee in this city. The rumor is
strengthened somewhat by the fact
that Senator. Thomas Brown, is a
member of the committee, and it is
known that the senator and the
, Dorsey interests although both
ADemocrats belong to different local
|factions.
When the various coal firms of the
city were questioned concerning the
probe and whether or not they had
received subpoenas to appear before
the committee the following inform
alton was obtained.
L
are: E. ]. Dorsey G. Son.
Those who have not obtained SUBJ
poenas are: Convery Coal Company,
George j. Haney, Lake Coal Com
pany. Inc, C. M. Peterson & Com
pany. John w. Olsen.
The office of the Perth Amboy
Coal &c Ice Company was closed due
to the holiday and the desired in
formation could not be obtained.
The committee has already exam
ined dealers in Newark, Jersey City,
Paterson, Asbury Park and other
cities in the state.
When it was first learned that the
committee would sit in this city the
local coal dealers expressed their
willingness to open their books for
Investigation of the committee so
that the amounts paid and charged
by them for coal would be known.

In nearly every instance those
confronted with the ferry idea seem
to favor project and gladly await
news OF final action on the matter.
No matter what ferry company
takes over the proposition it will
meet with hearty cooperation. Ac-
cording to official reports the land
ing place will positively be at the old
city dock which will be heightened
considerably and reinforced and re-
paired to a great extent.
The automobile route as outlined
will be west on Henry street to

Burdentown avenue and thence
westerly to Pine avenue, where q
sontherly course will be pursued to
all shore points. Much of the truck
traffic to NSw Brunswick. Camden

ed from the business section of the
city. by establishing route to Ern-
ston, where a turn to the right will
bring the traffic to the main road to
these points.
