WV Jersey FALLS IN LINE.

whether New Jersey ratifies the eighteenth
amendment or not will make no difference as
Gar as the standing of prohibition in this coun-
try is concerned. The amendment has already
noon ratified by two-thirds Of the states and
thereby becomes a part Of the constitution.
There is much qualification, however. in the ac-
lion of the assembly in passing with but four
dissenting votes the Roberts resolution which
nlaces New Jersey in line with the torty-nVe
ether states that have already ratified the
amendment.
With the favorable vote of the senate, which
is assured. New Jerseys ratification OF the pro-
hibition amendment will be complete and there
viii then be but two states left that have not
ratified. These are Connecticut and Rhode Is
land. The fact that New Jerseys ratincat'on
IS not needed to make the amendment effective
doe. not lessen the importance of the action OF
rhe legislature as far as the state il concerned.
It is the only thing to do if the reputation OF

~EUNCTIONING WE'LL.

With tine action of the state Highway Com
mission in cooperating with the police authori-
ties of the county in making the bridges under
the jurisdiction of the state board a part OF the
system whereby criminals may be headed on
the scheme Of Prosecutor Stricken for a CO.
ordination Of all the police bodies is now per-
fected. Much good is expected as a result.
Already the feasibility of the plan has been
demonstrated. Several instances of minor
offenses against the law in different parts of the
county have been reported to the sheriffs once
in New Brunswick where a man is stationed
: light and day. The report of the crime has at
once been relayed to every corner of the county
and police authorities everywhere have been
put on their guard.
With all the main highway bridges equipped
with telephones so that the keepers are also In
constant touch with the central office. every
avenue of escape for any criminal Is carefully
guarded. Needless TO say. any person COM
hitting crime in Middlesex will have to excer-
else all his ingenuity to get safely out. Incl
dentalIv. the criminal class are not going to
take any more chances than they have to and
knowing of the precautions taken here 10
catch them they are likely TO confne their
operations to localities where the chances of
getting away are not so slim.

THE u BEFORE DAWN
BY DIR. w. T.. BARTON

We heard much in 1920 about
the Pilgrim Fathers. We shall hear
more about them in 1921. Here is
thing which not every n has
heard about them, namely, that a
few weeks before they sailed, they
were all discouraged, and very "a
ly ready to give up the enterprise
altogether.
On Wednesday. June IA, 1920,
john Robinson, the pastor of the
Pilgrim congregation, then resident
in Holland, wrote to his b~rother-in-
law, John Carver, then in England
endeavoring 20 provide for transport
tation to America, and said that en-
thusiasm for the voyage had nearly
all gone. He said hat there was
not a man who had invested money
in the scheme who would do it again
if he had the money back in his
pocket.
1t is not difficult for us to under
stand how that feeling of despon-
dency came about. The little colony
had come to the time of parting,
and realized that those who went
to America might eve e again
those who remained IN Holland.
They were able to see just who
would be on one side of the ocean
and who on the other. They count
ed the possible loss of life and the
strain of mind and nerv and health
And for a little time their courage
nearly failed them.

rv,,c,ENr SERVICE RECOGNIZED.

Governor Edwards has done practically the
on1v thing he could do under the circumstances
in re-appointing both Prosecutor Stricken and
Judge DAILY for another term. a governor VINO
has any regard for what the public Thinks Oh
his administration could not turn down a man
Of his own party for re-appointment 10 any
judicial position merely because some poiltIcai
faction had a grudge against him, or because
he refused to use his Office for partisan pur-
poses.
There ought to be something more that mere
,clitical onuosuion to a man in a judicial po-
sition in order to have him put out Of ONCE
We are not aware of any charges OF incapaeltS
or neglect of duty being made to the governor
:, regard 70 either Prosecutor Stricken or Judge
DAILY. on the contrary, they have much to
recommend them for the capable manner In
which thew have served the public. This being
the case, and the fact that both are Of the same
party of the governor, there was really hoenins
else for the governor to do but to re-appoiht
them or else admit, by his action that ne eA-
pected the prosecutors and judges IN the re-
spectiye counties to take orders from the poifl-
cal machine of their county.
Both Prosecutor Stricken and Judge DAILY are
to be congratulated upon their re-appointmeht
particularly is it a signal victory for Mr.. striek-
er against whom the opposition was strongest
His re-appointment may be accepted as a rec
IGNITION of efficient service. Governor Edwards
also is to be congratulated upon so satisfactory
q solution of what had come to be a rather
difficult situation.
1t is gratifying to the county that the wnoie
matter has been settled without any disagree
able deadlock. Good work is being done by the
prosecutor backed by the county judge In run
cling down criminals and fighting the crime
wave here. This work can now be continued
without fear of interruption.

A WORTHY ASSISTANT.

In the appointment of John E.. Toolan as
his assistant Prosecutor Stricken has chosen a
CAPABLE young man who will be a credit to the
office ard an efficient servant of the people. We
know of no reason why John A. Coan, who has
been MIR. Strieker's assistant for the past hve
years. should have declined a re-appointment
other than that he is to be properly taken care
of in another way where his recognized ability
will be properly availed of. Mr.. Coan has filled
the Office of assistant prosecutor with credit. We
cannot believe that he has been deliberately
turned down except that he may be fttingly re-
warded elsewhere.
Mr.. Toolan, who succeeds Mr.. Coan, is a
college man of careful training in the law and
has a great future before him. He is now in a
position to show what he can do. For him the
assistant prosecutorship is merely a stepping
stone to places of greater influence and power.
He well merits the recognition here given him.
We predict great team work between Mr..
Stricken and Mr.. Toolen and, with Judge DAILY
10 back them for another term, the outlook is
not very bright for criminals in this neck of the
woods.

roast pork and shredded veal, and
while ,he doubts the mon Dehind

One woman stops, a row to raise,
because the soul is halfway cold;
and while she jaws we clasp our
trays and feel ourselves grow. frail
and old. We all must wait until
our turn, In vain are protests anp
appeals, though while we're waiting
we could earn the price of fourteen
useful meals. 1T is a modern way
to feed, and modern things, we
know. are best; old ways, old times,

bones so tired and sore, and, having

downtown to work some more. But

and wait until the cows come home.

They had already bought the

Now it happened that on the pre-
ceding Saturday the friends In Eng.
land of the Pilgrims n Holland
found a ship that had brought a
cargo of wine from France ana was
open to charter. and they took an
option on her until Monday, and
wrote to Holland accordingly. This
was not the ship that was finally
chartered. but it fioated the hopes
of tho Pilgrims for a few days till
the Mayfiower was discovered. BY
the time Carver received Robinson's
letter Mayiower had been char
tered. Six weeks after Robinson's
letter. the Pilgrims were on board
and were leaving Holland behind
forever.
If the whole truth were told.
many good enterprises come to Just
such an hour of uncertainty and
almost of despair. Neither shrewd
foresight not high moral courage is
sure safeguard against it. But that
is the hour of testing; and for
those who then bravely face the is

OAKS FROM ACoRNs GROW.

Far cry it is from the little group OF young
-msn-s;ea-ms in a room in the London dry
goods store of George Hitchcock in 1874 to the
srmv of $685. s2 members comprising the Y. d.
4. A. in America alone. at this time. Yet that
shows lust how the Young Mems Christian
Association has grown in the II years since its
inception.
The real founder of the Y. NJ. c. A. was a man
,amed George Williams. Williams was a clerk
in Hitchcock's dry goods store. And there ne
roomed with so other clerks. He didn't like the
habits of some. and invited a few to meet with
him in his room to try to change conditions
out of this meeting grew the association. Hitch
cock. the owner Of the store. became the first
president and Williams served as treasurer for
Al years.
In America there are 21S4 Young Mems
Christian Associations, with 51T3 paid officers
ana s5.1O6 directors and volunteer committees.
ont Of the total membership of about $4,000
there are nearly 200, 600 boys, quite an army in
itself. It's property in the United States is
worth s12S, 100000.
incidentally, it is interesting for the people
of Perth Amboy to know that we have here IN
mis- city one of the most successful branches OF
the Y. NJ. C. A. to be found anywhere IN the
country. and that means in the world. 1t is
one of the greatest assets the city has.
