governor respectively, pulled the
rest of the ticket through with them
1t is not surprising, under the
circumstances, that Mr.. Appleby has
come back to see il the people really
had anything against him. OF course,
next year will be a presidential year,
| and the hid of the ticket often
carries much weight in the vote for
all the other candidates. Neverthe-
less, Mr.. Appleby is well and favor
ably known; there were numerous
expressions of regret last year when
it was learned that he had been de-
feated. Many seemed to think that
his election was so certain after the
record he had made that it was not
necessary to put up a real fight for
him. They have learned their les
son, however, and the election next
year promises to be a real struggle
as far as the congressman Is con-
cerned.
1t is taken for granted that Con-
gresham Elmer Geran, who de-
feated Mr.. Appleby last year, will
be the Democratic candidate next
year. Mr.. Geran will have to go
some to beat Mr.. Appleby's record,
and he has a great many handicaps
to overcome. Besides, some impor-
tant issues r to come before the
new congress, the vote on which is
likely to make or lose many friends.
Mr.. Geran Is q clean-cut and fear
less fighter, however, and he is
bound to make a name for himself.
When he was In the state legislature
he played one of the most %conspicu-
Gus parts, and 1t would not be sur
prising If he were heard from dur
ins the coming session of congress.
Being with the minority, however,
will handicap him considerably, al
though there, are so many blocs
forming and the Republican major
ity is so small that it is hard to tell
who is in the majority in congress
these days.
At any rate, Mr.. Appleby's an
nouncement of his candidacy makes
things very interesting. He can
profit by Congressman Geran's mis-
takes, and, in the meantime. he can
be campaigning quietly, building up
an organization and mending his
fences while his opponent is-busy
at Washington.

NEXT YEARS BUDGET

This is a busy time for the Board
of Aldermen. Early in December
1t is necessary to have the budget
for next year ready. Just at pres
snt, then. the aldermen are at work
on the financial problem for next
year.
This Is no easy task. With the
people demanding lower taxes on
the one side and with ever increas-
ing demands for more money by the
various city departments on the
other, 1t takes some very clever fig
uring to solve the problem. The
worst of It is, the demand for in
feased appropriations by the differ
snt boards and departments Is fully
justified. The city is growing. the
requirements are greater each year,
and with expenses ever on the in
crease, 1t Is hard to keep abreast
with the times.
Take the public library, for in
stance. There is an institution that
has no income of its own and it has
10 depend entirely on the aldermen
for support. 1t is increasing in
popularity every year, and 1t would
be even more popular il 1t had sum-
Client funds to develop as 1t should.
The good it does the community is
hard 10 estimate; a city without an
up-to-date library these days Is
backward, indeed. But books are
becoming more and more expensive,
salaries have got to keep some
where near abreast with tie salaries
raid outside, and the need for in
creased help as the institution grows
IS keenly felt. The library could
easily spend considerable more
money than It now has at its dis.
posal and not a cent would BIZ
wasted.

EDGES MAsTERLY HAND

United States scr Walter q.
Edge has shown his mastery hand in
fixing the slate for the organization
Of the state senate. Through the
senator's efforts, Senator Stevens,
who was fairly entitled to the presi-
dency of the senate, vas turned
down and one OF Edges lieutenants,
Senator Reeves, of Cumberland, was
h5med. Senator Bright, of Cape
May, another reactionary who jumps
when the machine whip cracks, is
The choice for majority leader.
The senior senator from New Jer-
shy is an astute politician, but he
HAS the hardest job yet in front
OF him. He is playing a very clever
game, but he is making a great
rnsany enemies who will be heard
from next year when Senator Edge
comes up for reelection. He has
chosen to ALLEVIATE the best element
of the Republican party as repre-
sented in the state senate. Because
these men would not do his bidding
10 has decided that they must be
s~ide-tracked. Edge would probably
like to have seen such men as Stevens,
Case and Pierson beaten at the re-
cent election, and they were wor-
ried too, until Governor Silzer
opened such an unfair attack upon
them that the people rallied to their
support. The lukewarmness of the
Republican machine was more than
overcome.
1t is gratifying to find Senator
Larsen standing firm with the best
element in the senate. There is not
A higher class of men to be found
in any legislative hall than Senator's
Case, stevens, Whitney, P%ierson,
Roberts, Blackwell, and Woodruff
with whom Senator Larsen voted.
These men are bound to make a
record for themselves in spite of
all that Senator Edge can do to
keep them down.
The senator has not improved his
chances of reelection by his VIC
tory in the senate caucus y%ester-
day. The rank and file of the Re-
publican party are yet to be heard
rom, and they have already shown
where they stand in regard to such
men as stevens, Case and Pierson,

away for even a few days vacation

that the city furnish recreation as
a means of making Perth Amboy

With a matehless waterfront and an
ideal location for bathing beaches
and amusements. money spent in
that direction would benefit the
greatest number OF people.

is the city plan, This is the very
foundation of the city's progress and
prosperity. without a plan and
systematic REGULATE l much of the
money spent by the city for develop
ment may be wasted. Perth AM
boy has a high class City Plan Com
mission and 1t is doing excellent
work with the funds available. 1t
could be of the greatest assistance
to the aldermen in making improve
ments. Once a comprehensive city
plan is adopted the many problems
that are constantly arising will be
comparatively easy to solve.
In fixing the budget for the COM
ing year., therefore, it is to be hoped
that the Board OF Aldermen will
have foresight enough to give the
City Plan Commission a substantial
increase ever IL other departments
have to suffer temporarily, for, after
all, the city plan means a healthful
and systematic growth for the city
the results of which will count big
in the future.

the handwriting of the average hui

ago, when everybody strove to copy

Neither are they apparent when the

Tn looking over his files of bust
ness criminals, which include men
fro mevery kind of trade and walk
of life who have turned out to be
poor risks, this inspector finds
scarcely any specimens of poor
handwriting. In at least 93 per
cent. of the cases, the. men wrote
beautiful, clear hands. While he
finds a certain amount of good pen
manship among applications of the
straightforward majority who have

average application of this type is
written in a sad scrawl, only read
with difficulty and totally devoid of
the c%aligraphic brilliance which dis
tinguishes the embezzler.
Already tie widespread adoption
of the portable typewriter has
greatly reduced the use of the pen
even for personal letters. From
this it may be gathered that the fu-

Speeding Buses

1t seems almost ~increditable hat
a bus driver should be fined for
speeding in this city. 1t is certain
hat the offense did not take place
on Smith street. 1t is said the fell
low was trying to make up time on
Amboy avenue. There is more time
lost made up on Smith street. In
fact, the rate the buses travel
through the business section of the
city is a nuisance. They block traffic
by the manner in which they creep
along and everybody, including the
passengers, is held up. While there
| is no desire TO have the buses violate
the speed laws, there can be a great
Improvement in the rate they move
along Smith street without endan-
gering anyone's life. Speeding buses
are to be discouraged, TO be sure. A
man who will load on passengers
as some bus drivers do, and then
run at a dangerous speed is a men
ace, and any file that may be i'm
posed Is none too severe. But that
does not mean that the buses should
creep through the main business sec
ton OF the city at a rate of about
five miles an hour. A little less
speed on the highways outside the
city and more speed on the business
street would help a lot.

is an excellent beginning. 1t indi-

dollars is a small amount to give
