on again, and after a long, cold drive
without further incident, reached
Elsinore, where Hamlet saw his
fathers ghost.

hot to drink, and then Mrs. Rasmus-

Danish Greenland Company and the

my three companions entered into
conversation with him. From the
expression on their faces, l soon saw
that they were disappointed. and |
resigned myself to the thought that

the explorers ship at sea.
Presently Mrs. Rasmussen came
back.

take them on his tug to meet the
hero of the north pole. He had re-
fused them all. in order to favor none
at the expense of others. 1t was
impossible for him to take Mrs. Ras-
mussen and her friends. He very
! much regretted that. But when they
told him that I was an English jour-
nalist he said there would be place
for me with two or three Danish
correspondents.

the matter and wished me good luck
when 1 embarked on the small tug
which was to steam out to- light
ship in the Cattegat and at dawn go
out to meet the Hans Egede, as
Cooks ship was called. Like fool,
I left my overcoat behind and nearly
perished of cold until, an hour later.
I had climbed up an iron ladder to
the liGhtship in turbulent sea and
descended into the skipper's cabin,
where there was a joyous "fugg
and some hot cocoa spieed with a
touch of paraffin.
At dawn we saw, far away up the
Cattegat. a little ship all gay with
bunting. 1t was the Hans Egede.
We steamed toward it, lay alongside
and climbed to its top deck up rope
ladder. There 1 saw a sturdy, hand

He took my arm in a friendly way
and said: Come and have some
breakfast, young man."
1 sat next to him in the dining sa-
, loon of the Hans Egede, which was
crowded with a Strengthening
company of men and women, mostly
in furs and oilskins. with their faces
burned by sunlight on snow. The

THE wATERWAY MEETING
TOR EVENING NEWS:

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Upon attending the meeting at
our high school and having heard
the fundamentals of the great pro-
ject in the waterway development, I
am pleased to state that to my
opinion was the best educational
meeting on waterway improvements
that our citizens and surrounding
towns had a chance to hear with
out any expense attached to them.
What made me feel bad was at this
meeting 1 did not see enough young
men here to show their feeling for
a worthy cause of this kind.
Young men let's wake up and give
our support to this bill which is a
bill introduced by the Assemblyman
Harold Hoffman, a Middlesex man
and being supported by other
prominent men.
Waterway Developments are the
only way that will build UP city.
In closing L hope that the citizens
as a whole will take an actual in
terest in this and then we will know
that the bill will meet with an
approval, and our city will be
known all over the world.

namely. that Because a man is
starving he is not justified in going
into the first store he comes to and
seizing a loaf of bread" permit me
to call your attention to the fact that
the protection of life is the first law
of nature, and so no matter what the
positive criminal law of the land, it
can never, no matter how it busters
about, supplant the natural law. 1t
can make it a so-called crime, but it
cannot make it unethical or morally
wrong in the sight of God, who gave
man that primal law to protect his
life.
When speaking of justification,
therefore, we must distinguish be-
tween the violation of man made law
and the following out of first prin-
ciple of our nature. AS to the fact
whether or not a coal crisis exists in
this city of such stringency as to
warrant city officials seizing coal, /
am not here concerned. L am but
calling your attention to the fact, In
a fraternal way that the statements
cited above are so broad that while
they can be true, if properly under
stood, they can also be wrong, if
misinterpreted.
JAS. J. DEEGAN.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-03-01

due process of law. To that l agree,
but call your attention to another
principle, namely, when laws do not
function or cannot function suffi-
ciently to produce the effect intend
ed, at least approximate the purpose
of the law giver, then such law fails
and man again must protect his own
rights when threatened, since the
law cannot or does not protect him.
If after due appeal the coal commits
sion cannot act promptly and pro-
tect the lives of citizens, then man
falls back upon the first principle to
protect his own life, and those de-
pending upon him., without the CO.
operation of law, because law is not
funcioning and justice is not being
rendered. In a word, society is not
fulfilling it's just obligation, namely,
TO protect life.
l think after due consideration
you will agree that this is SO. Under
extreme conditions, therefore, we can
see that fuel commission or no fuel
commission. the officials of this city
have a distinct right and duty to
seize coal for the benefit of those
whom they are sworn to protect.
AS to your second paragraph,
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-03-01
SYMPATHY FOR POLICEMEN

Editor Evening News:
How would you like to have been a
policeman out in the snow and arctic
weather at nights last week, in a
driving blizzard on one night which
made it hard to keep warm even in
heated houses?
How would you like to leave home
at 5 in the afternoon and get back at
$50 or in the morning on some
days. and on others to have to work
tWenty-four hours on a stretch?
Under this sort of strain and ir-
regular meals and exposure to rain
and heat and cold even the strongest
men break down. 1t is not fair, not
humane, to expect this of public SER
wants.
Perth Amboy people want 20 treat
their policemen decently. They do
not want to wreck the health of Wig
orous men by imposing upon them
unreasonable hardships.
Let's have an eight hour day for
our police, as nearly all other pro-
gressive cities and towns have. 1t is
simple justice.

PUBLIC OPINION
THE RIGHT no SEIZE COAL
Editor Evening News:

Editor Evening News:
Your editorial of February 21st,
entitled mo mob spirit for Perth
Amboy," is interesting. Much of
what you say. all Iaw-abiding citi-
zens must agree with. The sound
ness of your principles, however, is
questionable and the correctness OF
your conclusions debatable.
You sound a warning of impend-
ing anarchy if public officials seize
coal. The duty of the state is pri
marily to protect life, and secondly,
to protect the property of it's citizens.
Therefore, in any emergency suffi-
GENTLY stringent, those entrusted
with the administering of the law
have not only the right, but the posi-
tive obligation of protecting the citi-
zens of the community. If a situation
arises where the liveT of Perth Am
boyans are imperiled by an acute
coal shortage. it becomes the duty of
authority to act according to the fl st
purpose of society--the protection of
the lives of its members.
But you say this must be done by

MISS DUCKY DUCK had lived in
a city park all her life. but one
DAY she was sick and was taken to the
country and put in a barnyard, where
e were many other ducks and
many things that Miss Ducky Duck
had never seen or heard about.

the %barnyard but it was not so deep
or as large as the one in the city
park, and Miss Ducky neve tired OF
telling the country ducks about what
she had left behind.
She could not get used to the other
animals. 1--WE never had such crea-
lures where l came from" she would
say, turning her head away from the
pig pen with an air of disgust. and Mr..
Dog she did not like at all. She said
he was 80 noisy, always poking about
to see what is going on"

Mr.. Dog was good-natured. He kept
