PUTTING ACROSS THE BOND ISSUE

r rho oomnoion io MI, across the forty million dollar
bond issue for the completion of the state highway sSS'e"
within the next five years with competition ior '"e patent
,oron,ent barred. has been launched by Assemblyman PER-
son. of Union county. From now until the lal eleolo"'
when the referendum is to be put up to the people we NAY
expect a flood Of literature in favor OF pllng on 94o'ooo'ooo
more TO tbe state debt and, needless to say, the hackers OF
The patent pavement will help in every way posslDle-aho
they know how to help.
Mr. pierson fired the opening gun at the annual Dali
o,ot Of tbe Newark Automobile Trade Association last night.
He chose well his audience and no doubt he was able to STIR
nm a great deal of enthusiasm. There is no body OF men
outside the patent pavement people who could become more
enthusiastic over this particular bond issue thah hose ell
gagged in the selling of automobiles.
Rut wait until Mr.. Pierson and his fellow propagandlsts
Laoin to talk direct to the great mass of taxpayers on this
subject. something more than the glories of improved roads
within the shortest possible time will have to be presented.
For instance, the people will want to know why 'e
ponnblican nartv. of which Mr.. Pierson is one of the shin
Ing lights, promised for two years to give the state open
specifications in all highway bidding, but has broken the
promise both time. Mr.. pierson does not touch on this
matter in his speech before the automobile dealers in New
ark. He puts up a great argument for good roads, but
nary a word about the fat contracts that, under existing laws,
will be handed over to the patent pavement crowd should
the bond issue go through.
There is no denying that the people OF New Jersey
want good roads. They are willing to put up with a great
deal to secure them, but. they do not like to be used as easy
marks. They will not be fooled all the Tune.
The next time Mr.. Person makes a speech we trust
that he will explain why he and his fellow Republicans are
SO enthusiastic for the bond issue Of $1,000, 900 TO be spent
on the highway of the state during the next five years, but
show no enthusiasm whatever for the bill to provide open
specifications and competition in spending this money, al
though open specifications and competition in bidding has
been promised by the Republicans for the past two years.
Why permit the patent pavement trust to have everything
its own way in the spending of this $4,000 900?

the societv has been slow in organizing and while many

uNIouE MEMORIAL


\ memorial to the late Rear Adj
miral Robert T.. ~Peary, fashioned
from a design of his own suggestion,
will be unveiled at Arlington Ma
tionaI Cemetery, April 6, thirteenth
anniversary of Peary's discovery of
the North Pole.
The President of the United States
the secretary of the navy, other high
officials of the government, and dis
tinguished scientists and explorers
will have a part in the ceremonies,
which are under the auspices of the
National Geographic Society whose
president, Gilbert Grosvenor, will
preside.
The act of unwilling will be per-
formed by Mrs. Edward Stafford,
who was Marie Ahnighito Peary,
and was a~ffectionately known dur
ing ner likelihood as the snow
baby" She was born nearer the
Pole than any other white child,
Her birthplace was in the far north

tions of the nineties by which Peary
determined the insularity of Green

The memorial is unique. 1t con
sists of a huge oblate spheroid of
granite, in proportion and in posi-
ton like the earth, and it rests on
a massive base. On the surface of
the granite globe are hewn the out
lines of the land and water masses
of the earth's surface; at its North
Pole, tilted toward the north, which
is in the direction of Arlington's
beautiful amphitheatre, is a bronze
star, symbol of the achievement by
which Peary's name will ever be
remembered.
The symbolic design of this mon
ument was conceived by AdmiraI
Peary during his last illness and
suggestions for it were dictated to
his wife, herself an Arctic traveller
of note, within three weeks before
his death.
On one side of the supporting
granite block, upon which rests the
earth shaped mass, is the Latin mot
to: "Inveniam Viam Aut Faciam'

The Veterans Bureau Is the out

II is working in cooperation with
the U. S. Public Health Service in
the medical work affecting World

Right now the bureau is paying
out more than $1,000, 900 every day
il. the week. This money goes di-
rectly into the hands of former SER
vice men or their dependents. Hos
"ital rare and treatment is being
furnished without cost to 10000

amounting to about S5,000,0 600 a

An Unpopular Decision.

Imprisonment at hard labor is an
Infamous sentence" 1t presupposes
an infamous crime within the mean
ing Of the Constitution. 1t can be
imposed only after a grand jury in
dictment Such is the decision of the
Supreme Court at Washington. It
would be unfair to say the court
decided that hard labor is infamous.
but that conclusion will be reached
by many. OF course. hard labor. in
fact. Is not infamous but commend
able. There may be some deep prop
ositions in this decision not apparent
to the layman. The decision Is lack
ing in clarity and Is not convincing
to the public.
The decision has its greatest effect
In that 1t strips the juvenile courts
Of much power. Nearly all the states
where juvenile courts have been es-
tabIished have been willing to pro-
vide hard labor as a part of the
punishment for child desertion and
failure to provide. Public sentiment
has approved that punishment.
The decision may mean that many
offenders of that type will be sent
to prison to remain in idleness. No
one familiar with prison problems
believes idleness Is right or helpful.
In fact. idleness is far more in
famous than hard work. That Is the
belief Of millions. 1t is unfortunate

offense had been committed. There
is comfort in the fact that the dis
