THE SUPER-SIX

The six greatest men in history, according to H. G. Wells,
are Jesus, Buddah, Asoka, Aristotle, Roger Bacon and Abra-
ham Lincoln.
The names are familiar to you, with the exception of
Asoka. He was a king who reigned in India 2145 years ago
Wells includes him in the super-six list because He is the
only military monarch on record who abandoned warfare
after victory"
Roger Bacon was an English philosopher of seven GEN.
turtles ago, who delved in Black Magic. Most of his great
ness is based on myth and superstition.
Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, might be included in
the list, though he was not great enough to induce his pupil
Alexander the Great, to refrain from waging vicious wars Of
conquest. +
No two people will agree on a list of six greatest men
in history. Most Americans would exclude Jesus, believing
him a divinity instead of a man.
What list do you nominated In compiling it, keep in
mind that real greatness depends on service to humanity. =
The most important thing in civilization is the home.
And most housewives, after thinking about 1T, will agree tnat
the most important service to the home was the invention OF
the cooking stove and it's big brother, the heating furnace.
No one knows who invented them. But the honor Of con-
ceiving the Fundamentals of the modern form goes to Ben
jamin Franklin.
Viewed from modern standars, it is probable that sew
eral of historys six greatest men are living today.
Marconi, inventor of wireless, belongs In the list. We
live too close to the crude, pioneering, early stages of his in
vention to conceive of the tremendous Importance 1t will play
in the life of our remote descendants. If people live on Mars
or other bodies out in space, they will get in touch with US
only by radio. Breaking mans earth-shackles and putting
him in touch with far-of space would place the inventor OF
radio in every list of the great.
The Wright brothers, who flew the first airplane and
opened the way for mans conquest Of the air and distance,
are among historys greatest.
Einstein also belongs on the list, for he is the forerun-
ner of mans thinking in terms of four dimensions instead OF
three.
And how about Watt, inventor of the steam engine, with
out which the railroads would not have been builtf
At the tiptop of the list should be Gutenberg or the other
man, an unknown Chinese, who invented printing from NOV
able type. Nine-tenths of our progress-physnal intellectual
and spiritual-is due to printing.

LITTLE CHANCE FOR BAND CONCERTS

Perth Amboy's band concert fund does not seem to be
making very rapid progress. Several weeks have now passed

dav total exactly ten dollars. This is far from the amount
required for one concert. Unless more interest is shoWn

This is the peoples movement, started by a citizen
sending in a dollar and inviting others to follow his example.
But if the people are not sufficiently interested to pay through
small contributions, for one concert out of q series of three
there is no use urging them any longer.
Band concerts are really a municipal proposition. In
Newark and other cities the appropriation for the park
hoard is large enough to include this entertainment in the
marks. Probably after a city plan is adopted a definite pro-
gram for municipal development in accordance with the plan
can be carried out whereby the city will have a real park
system and all the other features that a city OF this size and
character should have.

Two years ago the voters of Valley
county voted to issue 5000, 900. 90 worth
Of road bonds to be used to meet a
like amount of federal aid money to
be used in building "trunk line" roads.
After the bond issue had been passed
upon the commissioners, before pro-
seeding to sell the bonds, Investigate
ed the proposition thoroughly and in
the face of conditions declined to put
the additional burden of debt upon the
county at that time. The bonds have
never been sold and consequently Val
ley county has saved several thous-
and dollars in interest and will get
practically the same amount of fed
eral aid which we would have re-
seived had the bonds been sold, this
due to the fact that a contract has
been let by the government for the
completion of a g~ravelled highway
from Nashua to Frazer on the Fort
Peck reservation.

WHAT is TO BE DECIDED

In the state campaign the question
to be decided is whether the voters
are to choose a Republican legislature
to work with Governor Dixon in his
program of tax reform and economy
of administration of the state gov
eminent. The governor won the en-
dorsement of his program in the pri-
mary election by the nomination of
legislative candidates that are in SYM
pathy with him. His opponents are
in control of the Democratic state or
ganization and are campaigning for
the election of a Democratic legisla-
ture in the firm belief that a Demo-
cratic majority in the legislature will
defeat the progressive or Dixon pro-
gram.
The election of a Democratic ma
iority will enable the reactionary for
ces to organize the legislature and to
name the committees and by control
Of the committees the governor will
be blocked in any effort to change
the present unjust system.

The old guard combine is composed
nominally of both Republicans and
Democrats. But in this campaign the
old guard is all on the Democratic
side and are working to elect a Dem
ocratic legislature. They are hoping
to confuse enough voters, who at
heart believe in tax equalization and
administrative reform to enable them
to get enough Democrats elected -
the legislative assembly to block any
efforts along that line.
Reactionary Republicans who are
in favor of maintaining the present
system of special privilege in taxa
ton and of irresponsible division Of
power are lining up to support The
Democratic legislative candidates. The
independent Democratic voters, who
do not believe in special privilege a
only express their real beliefs by turn
ing from the party organization that
has been captured by the bipartisan
copper group to support the Repubi-
can legislative ticket.

of the most competent, courteous and

vice he has given. Mr.. Frazier was
