THE ONLY GIRL

When you 60 back to the old home town, after being
away many years, one Of the most startling discoveries is the
change wrought by time in fellows you once knew as town
~drunkards. loafers or DULLES.
A fellow who in his early twenties was a no ID never
be worth his salt'-steps up briskly and wrngs your hand.
You learn that he is in business for himself now and "doin'
fne."
He is restless. You guess that he is anxious to confide.
Then the great and important secret comes out. He met
fthe only girl'' and married her. Proudly he opens the back
Of his watch, shows you her picture-also the things that are
running around the house besides the fence. She put him
to work.
A little farther down the street you meet the fellow you
once knew as the town bully.
There is a sad, reminiscent vacancy in his eyes, such as
Napoleon must have had at st Helena. The system has caught
him. He is industrious, obviously, but in such a tlmld way
that you wonder if he went in for preaching.
Then his great secret comes out. He, also, met the only
girl, and married her. He doesn't tell you, but you surmise
that she has him well tanned.
Another familiar face looms up. You cannot place him
until you realize that it is because his red nose, bleary eyes
and finger tremble have disappeared.
The town drunkard!
You wiring his hand, comment how well he is looking.
Then you ask him what he's doing to get "the stuff these
days.
"Oh," he boasts, putting up like a fresh blister, . never
touch the old hardware any more. Haven't had a drink for
SO long ! suppose three fingers of it would make me sick. l

The good influence of good women is about the finest
thing in life. Poverty is a sad handicap. So IS Ill health. SO
are thousands of other forms of misfortune.
But. when all is said and done, the worst kind OF bad
l,ck that can happen to man is in not meeting the only girl
or in meeting her and not getting her.

BUSINESS METHODS IN
GOVERNMENT EXPLAINED
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, July 2S-The
United States government is the big
gest business institution n the world
1t was big in the days when Uncle
Joes Cannon replied to criticism OF a
Billion dollar Congress- by stating
that this is a billion dollar country"
and then adding that this country
is a hell Of a success" 1t is much
larger nov.
1t has not grown as ordinary busi-
ness establishments grow by the ap-
plication of strictly business meth
DDS and principles, however. 1t is
not a monument to efficiency rules
and practices. A commercial, indus
trial or financial institution hat had
attained such proportions would owe
its success to astute and careful
management and would be so organ
lied that it would function like a
4 Swiss watch. Not so with the Unit
ed States government. 1t has grown
to its present size simply because
nothing could stop or retard its
growth and in spite of u~nbusiness-
like methods that would have wreck
ed a private enterprise before it got
fairly started.
But now all this is being changed.
At last government has come to be
regarded as a business and an earn
est effort s. being made to put the
conduct Of public affairs on a basis
comparable to that which earns div
idends in the every day commercial
world. Moreover, the effort is get
ting results that can be measured
in dollars and cents.
Reorganization of the administra-
| tive branch of the government was
promised and undertaken months
ago but it has been delayed by con-
troversies between department and
bureau heads. This would not seem
to augur we'll for the new order of
things and has discouraged some of
the ardent advocates of up-to-date
business methods In government.
However, real progress has been
made in the desired direction
through a series of executive orders
requiring coordination and coop
Grafton among officials and between
agencies that heretofore have act
ed independently.
Just as previous to the installation
Ct the budget syst"r there was nc
coordination in estimating and very
little in appropriating, there was lit
tie or no coordination in expending
public funds. AS an illustration the
disposition made of surplus property
may be cited. Each bureau or hold
ing agency was carrying on this
work in its own way and amazing
as it may seem it is actully true
that at one place the government
was selling at a sacrifice supplies
that it was buying at current mar
ket prices at another.
Chance Fol Sharp Practice
Thus It was possible for those who

A blanket pardon by the President providing for the
release of all persons now imprisoned for violation of war
time laws cannot be expected at the present time. The
following statement, issued the other day at the White
House, explains the Presidents stand on this much discussed
topic:
in reply to a delegation seeking general amnesty for
political prisoners the President states that he could not
bring himself to grant general amnesty until he knew that
all prisoners held under the war act had only committed
strictly war offenses; that he was giving consideration to all
the cases, but that he would never, as long as he was Presi-
dent, pardon any criminal who was guilty of preaching the
destruction of the government by force"
It is a stand in which the President should have the
loyal support of every citizen. The man who plots the de-
struction of the government in peace is dangerous enough.
The one who takes advantage of wars upheaval to forward
violence is a traitor past all forgiveness. The President
does well in studying the lists before issuing pardons which,
as chief representative of orderly government he should
withhold.

RARITAN BAY DEVELOPMENT

AS a result of work now about to be started in Raritan
bay it will be possible to navigate the channel at night thus
greatly aiding shipping in these waters. Twelve doplhins
or buoys with lights are to be placed in the bay by the fed
eral government. Bids for stone are now being advertised.
The work will be completed before winter.
This is the first substantial improvement that has been
made in Raritan bay in a great many years. There has been
considerable talk at various time, but wear after year MOTH
Ing has been done and even such a channel as we have had
has been gradually filling up.
And while the lighted buoys are actually being placed,
the movement for a thirty foot channel, which is the kew to
the citys future progress, is taking definite form and its
realization is only a matter of a short time. Congress is, at
least, on record as favoring the project having passed a bill
providing tina, the thirty foot channel shall be built. While
no appropriation for the work has been made, the fact that
the work is authorized puts congress in a position where the
appropriation must follow before other work is done.
These achievements for the development of Raritan
bay reflect great credit on Congressman Appleby. Mr..
Appleby is serving his first term at Washington, yet he has
accomplished more as far as the Raritan bay development is
concerned, than any man in recent years. 1t is remarkable
for q new man to accomplish so much.
But the development of Raritan bay is not the only
thing that MI. Appleby has done during the two short years
he has been in congress. One of his most notable achieve
ments has been the passage of a bill concerning the pollu-
ton of the waters Of this vicinity, especially concerning the
dumping Of oil in the bays and off the coast causing great
damage to the fish and to the beaches. AS a result of Mr..
Appleby's efforts, Secretary of State Hughes has taken up
the matter with foreign governments and there is every rea-
son to believe that relief from this nuisance is in sight.
It is recognized by all who have studied the future of
Perth Amboy and the cause of its present development.
that the waterfront is the city's greatest asset. Naturally,
The city looks to the federal government to assist in the de-
velopment of the bay and river. With this development the
port of Perth Amboy becomes one of the most important on
the coast. No representative in congress has done so much
for this section in so short a time as has Congressman APP
pleby. With such a record for his first term, he certainly
has a strong argument in his favor in his campaign for re-
election.

FISHING FOR COAL

One of the interesting revelations connected with the
coal strike is the vast volume of river coal' available in
streams flowing from the coal regions in Pennsylvania. This
fuel has nothing to do with the o-called white coal' which
hydro electric interests have been developing in recent
wears. II is plain, black bituminous, spilled and washed
into the rivers in the course of production and carried by
the water sometimes as far as 200 miles. 1t is said to exist
now on some river bottoms in the form of a stratum sever Il
feet deep. The amount accessible by the process of dredg-
ing is estimatable at many million tons. The water washed
fuel is considered better for many purposes than that COM
ing fresh from the mines.
The salvaging of this coal naturally has been stimu-
lated by the scarcity resulting from the strike. 1t is being
snshed for on a scale never known before. And 1t affords a
notable commentary on the wasteful methods which in nor
NAL times attend the coal industry.
