"DON'T TOUGH"

Iron used to be made illcitly and sold ION the quiet
same as moonshine liquor is ~bootlegged today.
Before our country won its independence, ENGLAND mace
it a crime to manufacture iron in her colonies. Inc loea, u
course, was to protect the iron-makers in England.
This didn't stop the Americans of that period who had
the bootlegging germ in their blood. They found a sheltered
place in the forest, difficult to approach, and set up their
blast furnaces.
The remains of one of these furnaces still exists near
Youngstown, O., says Prof. Herbert M. Boylston OF Case
School of Applied Science, in Cleveland.
Human nature seems to hate prohibition OF any KIND.
Maybe you experience a craving to touch a painted SURFACE
which a sign warns you is fresh and wet. Or you may feel
a hot mental wave of resentment at the sign; PRIVATE
Keep Out. This Means YOU"
Many a grown man can recall how as a boy ne got ms

Tell the nation that instantaneous death would result
from pulling the lobe of the left ear four times in rapid sue

Il is true of the liquor bootlegger today.

On top of all this is the peculiar psychological fact that' as

GUS craving to try it at least once. Z

NEW JERSEY AT IT'S WORST

Regardless of the motives that prompted the people in such
large numbers to vote for Edward 1. Edwards for United States
senator, his victory will be accepted everywhere as a triumph for
the principles opposed to prohibition. Senator Freinghuysen, by
his fearless and outspoken attitude on the various issues that have
come before the country in the last six years, has made many
enemies. 1t is always thus. Naturally, it is impossible to please
everybody and those who are not pleased are very apt to store up
the grudge and work it out when the opportunity comes.
Such an opportunity came yesterday in the case of Senator
FrelInghuysen. Exservice men jumped on him for his opposi-
tion to the bonus. Those who dislike the tariff took a whack at
him for the part he took in framing that bill. The "wets," of
course, found great delight in lambasting him hard. Everybody
knew exactly what the senator stood for and what he was against.
lie never quibbled on anything so that it was an easy thing to pick
INN out as a target. A less sincere man, one who is clever enough
to "get by" without committing himself one way or the other,
might not have had such a hard row to hoe, not so many explana-
But Senator Frelinghuysen did his duty as he saw it and he
boldly took his stand on his record, adopting as his slogan at the
very outset of the campaign, "Let the people decide"
The people have decided. They have put their stamp of dis.
approval on the Frelinghuysen record. They have chosen to fill
his place at Washington a man who has been the very antthesis
of Senator Frelinghuysen. The record of Governor Edwards at
Trenton for the past three years has been anything but sincere.
His has been one of the most mediocre administrations the state
has ever had.
Governor Edwards has known but one thing, that is booze.
His whole term as governor has been based on that one issue. his
campaign for United States senator was conducted exclusively on
that issue and now he is to carry it to Washington where his in
tuence will be nil. The Democrats gave us a Jim MARITIME and now
they have given us an Edwards. Of the two, MARITIME is to be
preferred. MARITIME was a joke, but Edwards is a disgrace. New
Jersey has had to stand for a lot; it would seem as if the limit has
now been reached.

CITY GOVERNMENT UNCHANGED

With tn reelection of Mayor William c. Wilson and Alder
men Sofeld, Patten and Clark, together with Il. e. PickersgiIl, the
city government remains unchanged.
The reelection of Mayor Wilson comes as a personal en-
saFsement of the record he has made during the past two years,
That be has been a popular mayor goes without saying, the vote
yesterday, j, there were no other evidence, proves it. The mayor
has, indeed, made a good executive and has well earned the vote
of confidence he has just received. With the experience he has
already had there is every reason to believe that the coming two
years will be ever more successful than the two years that have
just passed.
One of the mayors strong points is his pleasing personality.
He makes a favorable impression wherever he goes and as he has
gone about a great deal while serving as mayor he has succeeded
in favorably inpressing the majority of his fellow-townsmen.
Then, again, Mayor Wilson had this advantage: He has just
finished his first term and unless there is something terribly bad
the people are willing to concede that zone good term deserves
another"
Mayor Wilson had a worthy opponent in John K. sheehy. Mr.
sheehy typifes the successful business man in politics. He long
has been a resident of the city and has rendered faithful and eff
cisnt service on the school board. He has a record to be proud of
and there is every reason to believe that had it been the school
board that he was running for, or had he already served a term
as mayor and was a candidate for reelection he would have won.
Mr.. Sheehy is the type of man that should take an interest in pol
tiles, especially local politics. He had heavy handicaps to over
come, however, and that he failed of election is no reflection on his
ability, neither does it show any lack of appreciation of what he
has already done for the advancement Of the city, particularly
along educational lines.
From the aldermanic standpoint it was a foregone conclu-
sion that John sofeld would be reelected in the First ward and
that John Clark would win in the Fifth, although in the latter
ward the Republicans put up a strong candidate and made a hard
fight In the Third ward, which is always debatable, Alderman
Patten had a real contest, but once the counting Of the votes be-
gan it was apparent that he had the people with him.
As for recorder, it is apparent that Judge Pickersgill can have
the job as long as he wants it. He has been returned to that
office term after term regardless of who his opponent has been.
The people seem perfectly satisfied with Pickersgll and as long
as the judge himself is satisfied that is all there is to it.
Now that the election is over it is the duty of everyone to get
behind their chosen officials, whether they are ones personal
choice or not, and help advance Perth Amboy in every way. There
are big things just ahead and they must be handled in a big way
This can be done only by all pulling together.

GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
ANALYZED BY HASkIN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5--The re-
cent publication by the Institute
for Government Research entitled
'The National Park Service" has
brought to the attention ct con-
gressmeu and departmental execu-
tives in Washington an important
activity now going on in their midst.
The executive branch of the govern
ment for the first time is befcg anal
yzed, inventoried and put down on
paper. In O few months Or years, at
most, this great organizatich which
we call the government, which en-
pleyes derectly the services of $780,
900 persons, and which is SO vast
and intricate that ever those best
acquainted with it are continually
being surprised by its ACTIVITIES, will
be an open book to those who take
the trouble to read this admirable
series of bulletins.
The Institute for Government Re-
search Is an outgrowth and further
development of President Taft's
Commission on Efficiency and
Economy. It is, however, nc longer
an official Organization but is sup
poted wholly by private Contribu-
tions. The Institute now consists
of a body OF trained political scien-
fists whl as volunteer agents for
the public ere studying the govern
ment with the view eventually Of
making 1t more efficient. The di-
rector of this work, is W. II. Will
loughby, who was a member of the
Taft Commission. The chairman of
the institute is DR.. Robert S. Brook
ings. who during the war welded
enormous power as chairman of the
Price Fixing Committee of the War
Industries Board.
The object of the institute is, as
stated, 70 bring about greater eff
cheney in the operation OF the gov
eminent departments; but before
reorganiziug an executive depart
ment 1T 10 necessary to know what
that mechanism Is doing, Away
back in President Taft's adm!nistra-
ton the Commission on Efficiency
and Economy discovered that no
knew what the government was
doing. The work was too great and
too ramified to be compassei by any
n mind. Work was being dupli-
Gated and Implicated in numerous
instances because branch of
the government was unaware that
some other branch vas engaged in
the same line of research. Because
OF the size of the government and
because of the way in which the va
rious departments had been Euilt up,
it was impossible for any dir Getting
head to know the details of what
was going on.
Consequently, it was decided that
the first STEP in reform must be an

@. How long is the alimentary
canal? A. F. N.
A, The alimentary canal consists
in brief of the mouth, pharynx aeso-
phagus, stomach, small and large in
testine. and is about 80 feet In
length.
@. What is meant by landing at
Castle Gardea?" G. w. b.
A. The modern version of this
phrase Is landing at Ellis Island
Castle Garden is a large circular
building in Battery Park, New York
city. 1t was built in 1907 for a fort
but was converted into a garden
where civic receptions and such
functions were held. In 1855 it be-
came a landing place and temporary
headquarters for immigrants. Since
1891 Ellis Island has taken its place
for these purposes.
@, When were high heels first
put on shoes? w. j. G..
A. According to books on cos
tunes of the past centuries high
heels were worn by Wemen during
the reign Of Charles II in the four
teenth century. They seem to have
attained their greatest height and
popularity in the reign of Louis XIV
and Louis XIV of France, During
the latter period dress accessories
were greatly exaggerated. the head
dress being sometimes several feet
in height and the width of the dress
es and the height of the heels OF
shoes exaggerated accordingly. II
is probable that the term Louis
chung to the highest French heel for
this reason.
@. What is the correct plural of
teaspoonful? z. Nee.
A. The plural Of teaspoonful Is
teaspoonfuls. The word teaspoons
full suggests a different thought. Four

Pacific Note From
Angora Govt on
Mudania Armistice

COnstantinople. Nov. 15-(By A.
P)-Any immediate danger of a
rupture between the allies and the
komalist authorities seems to have
hcen dissipated today by the receipt
ty the allies of a note from the An
SOFA government. declaring that the
t4lms of the Mudania armistice COM
act will be respected by the Nation
;.tsts ana that there will be insist
cree on the withdrawal of allied
troops from the zones laid down in
he Mudania convention.
The note, which had been eagerly
awaited for several days, brought re-
lief to the allied authorities and the
seriously doubted the good intentions
u. the Angora government. 1t is felt
here that the unfavorable reception
CT the kemalist demands throughout
.he world caused them to reconsider
their decisions and adopt more con-
ella tory attitude.
While all the clauses of the Ma
tionalist note are not wholly accept
able or pleasing to the allies, the
document is considered to offer a roa
sonable basis for discussion and ne
;:oliation.
In diplomatic circles 1t it is felt
that the note precludes the danger of
war before the convocation Of the
Lausanne peace conference.
