PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE

One hundred years ago today Ulyssus S. Grant was born
in a little Ohio river town of obscure parentage. His early
life was that of an ordinary American boy. There was moth
ing particularly promising about him. He was inclined to
be wild and, naturally, when the Civil War broke out, being
of appropriate age, he was eager to enlist. To him, perhaps
it was more of a great adventure than anything else. Little
did he think that his enlistment, which was exactly the same
as thousands of other young men w~ere>doing in all parts Of
The country, was the starting point for a career that would
lead to the White House and to an outstanding position
among the worlds greatest men.
The story of General Grant who is signally honored to
day both at his birthplace, Point Pleasant, Ohio, and at
Washington, is familiar to every school child. What are
we of this day to learn from such a career? Why was it
that this lad, one of many thousands who marched away 10
war in the COS, should advance to the greatest fame and
honor that the world can bestow?
Different people will give different answers to that
question. After all is said, however, it would seem as if
the secret lies in the patience and perseverance of the man
Il shall fight it out on this line if it takes all summer was
his famous message in regard to his Virginia campaign. 1t
was by that persistent plugging and logged determine
lion that finally gave to him the victory.
And, today, as we view the world upheaval following
The great war and the desperate efforts now being made to
save civilization, we see the outstanding figure of another
man who, through patience and perseverance, is slowly win
ming his way to ultimate success. There is no doubt that the
great secret of Mr.. Lloyd Georges success today is to be
found in that same patience and perseverance that was the
characteristic of General Grant.
Lloyd George, alone of all the great world leaders dur
.ngt the recent war, still remains in the saddle. Beset on al
sides with tremendous problems both domestic and foreign.
he still holds sway in spite of all that his enemies can do to
unseat him. And his almost unlimited patience and logged
perseverance will yet win a peaceful victory for him at
Genoa as the same characteristics won the victory for Grant
at A%ppomattox.

WHAT YOU WANT

Circuses are out on the road again. Most interesting is
the menagerie. And, in the menagerie, most interesting is the
giraffe, large ruminant mammal from Africa, known scientif-
cally as 1.-THE camelopard."
You stop in front of the giraffe and reflect what an awful
time he must have when he develops sore throat.
If a scientist is with you, he explains that the giraffe at
one time did not have a neck longer than a horseis-that the
giraffe developed his long neck during thousands of years in
which he stretched his neck to get at the tender leaves in The
tops of trees.
This is a practical illustration OF how, in the mystery of
life that arises from the dust of our earth, a goal is achieved
by the concentration of desire.
Evolutionists, who arouse the ire of William Jennings
Bryan, claim that all forms of life on earth are adapted and
changed by nature to fit their environment.
For instance, the fish in underground rivers are blind.
Their sight has been taken from them because they no longer
need it.
Or, taking your own body: In your brain is a tiny thing
known as the pineal gland. biologists say the pineal gland is
a remnant of a third eye which our jungle ancestors had in the
back of their heads. Theoretically, it was needed then, to
watch for stalking beasts. Now, no longer needed, it is van
ishing.
The giraffe, desiring to reach the tops Of trees, took many
thousands OF years to grow a long neck. So with other ami
mails and their desires.
Man, possessing an intellect, was impatient. His brain
showed him a shortcut.
Instead of waiting for hundreds of succeeding generations
to develop him a long neck for reaching to high places, mans
brain originated a short-cut-the invention of the ladder.
In millions OF other ways, this illustrates how mans in
ventive brain ingenuity has stolen a march on nature.
But, regardless of whether it is a giraffe developing a long
neck or man devising a shortcut it suggests this:
That desire to accomplish something is one Of the most
dynamic forces of life.
The more you desire a thing, the more certain you are to
get it.
Desire a thing hard enough and, if it is a just proposition.
chances are you will get what you want.
In other words, almost any goal is reachable if you work
steadily toward it and never lose heart.

TO MAKE 1T ALL "WET"

Nothing could be more appropriate from the stand
point of a real political issue than that James R. Nugent, Of
Essex county, should become the Democratic nominee for
governor with Edward l. Edwards running for United States
senator. Nothing could be 'wetter' than such a combina
tion.
1t seems to be a foregone conclusion that the Republic
can candidates will be Runyon for governor and Freling
huysen for United States senator. Both Of these gentle
men are dry The idea of nominating Edwards for the
senatorship is clearly TO appeal to the wet vote. Having
gone that far it is logical to go all the way and pick an out
and out wet candidate for governor as well.
1t hardly seems likely, however, that Nugent will
consent to run again for governor. He tried that out three
years ago and, having measured his strength, is not likely TO
try again in spite of the agitation some of his friends have
started in his behalf. Whatever else may be said about
Nugent, it must be admitted that he understands politics.
Then, too, there is the ambition of Frank Hague to be
commended with, and just at present his star seems to be in
The a~scendancy in the Democratic armament. 1t is apparent
that Nugent and Hague cannot shine together. When il
comes to running the campaign on the wet and dry
issue, however, there could be no more suitable candidates
for the wet side of the question than Edwards and Nugent.

they are getting for nothing. This
something for nothing crowd 10 al

1t is to be hoped that just because the elimination Of
The grade crossings in Perth Amboy is pending the Central
railroad will not decide to let such property as it has in this
city get into an utterly d~elapidated condition on the ground
that as radical changes are pending it is a waste of money
10 spend anything ON the upkeep of present facilities.
Even if the differences between the city and the rail
road company were all adjusted and the plans agreed upon
it would be a long time before the present station, for in
stance, could be abandoned. In the meantime it is up to the
railroad company to keep the old building and its approaches
in as decent a condition as possible.
The driveways leading to the station both from Market
street and from Smith street, are next to impossible today
They have been going from bad to worse since winter. Tn.
less something is done very soon the approaches will have TO
