OLD TIMES

How many Christmas presents are you giving TINS year,
Last night Friend Wife showed us the complete list OF pres
ents that are being given by all the members OF our family.
When it was handed to us, we thought at hrst IL was an mVen-
tory of our household furnishings.
Our mind slipped back to the simplicity OF some OIL the
old-time C~hristmases.
In particular we recalled the finest Christmas we ever had.
We were a boy then. Most Of the presents were homemade.
Grandma furnished the mittens, knitted by oil lamp after we'd
been tucked in bed-thick warm mittens with a long cord that
extended I'D through coat sleeves and around the neck to pre-
vent loss. Aunt S~ophronia gave us a basket OF Christmas
cookies. shaped like animals and stars and covered with de-
licious coored sugar.
Uncle Tom gave us a watch, and his generosity appalled, us
even if it was an old turnip that he'd discarded. You can
imagine the reaction you'd get if you tried giving a 1928 boy
a secondhand timepiece.
Most of the presents were useful, in the old days, includ-
ing a REFER overcoat and a new pair of shoes. As for
..boughten' presents they were limited to "The Erie Train
Boy" by Alger, Henty's "With Give in India a New
Testament, a sled a pair of skates and that most wonderful
of all oldtime toys, a tin monkey that climbed a string.
At that, Christmas Of long ago represented proportionately
as big an outlay as now, comparing the family incomes Of
the two periods.
But the gift itself was secondary to the spirit of the giver,
far more than In the present generation. Somehow we be-
lieve the Christmas dinners of those days were superior. The
Christmas Eve entertainment at the church was as enjoyable,
to us, as the modern movie. And the ride in a cutter over the
deep snow beat the auto trip of 1923.
Christmas has changed, but no more so than the rest Of
life. An advancing standard of living has its price.

Clean Ub This Scandal

This scandal in the police department IN which certain Officers
are accused of shaking down a bootlegger to the amount OF $200
IS becoming greatly involved. The latest is that the money has
been refunded to the boodegger and that it was returned to INN
by city officials.
It is said that the grand jury is investigating. phe names oil
two policemen have been mentioned in connection with the case,
and now we are told that the bootIegger is not so sure about their
identity. Detective David adds to the interest by saying that the
name Of the person who returned the money to the bootlegger is
known to hin.
What is to be the outcome? Surely, such serious charges
cannot be dropped. Detective David has either gone too far or he
has not gone far enough. 1t would look a s if he had worked
himself into a position where he cannot get out without exposing
somebody. or else admitting that he is merely playing to the
galleries.
Here is a wonderful opportunity for Prosecutor Stricken to
make a record. The prosecutor is not seen very much in Middle
3 county these DAYS. He seems to have shaken the dust OF this
section off his feet and has elected to live and practice elsewhere.
one can find any fault with this, but as long as he is the
prosecutor of Middlesex county the people of Middlesex have a
right to look to him to go to the very bottom Of such a scandal as
now involves the Perth Amboy police, including city officers.
Judging from what has been published about the case, It Is a
pretty rotten mess. A selfconfessed bootlegger ought not to be
able to use the county officers as a collecting agency whereby he
gets the money that was taken from him unlawfuny returned to
him and then get out from under by a sudden loss OF memory
whereupon the whole matter is forgotten. If that is all the
prosecutors office with all its detectives amount to 1t rs time Tor a
grand change.
Detective David promises that the case will be sifted to the
bottom. That is what is to be expected, and if the sitting Is done
thoroughly enough it ought to bring results.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-12-20

Perth Amboy is to have a new deal as far as the Red Cross is
concerned. 1t will be remembered that at the time of the campaign
for the japanese relief Perth Amboy was given a quota that was
equal to that of Paterson, a city three times as large and many
times more wealthy, and that was considerably higher than New
Brunswick, Elizabeth and other places far better able to give than
is Perth Amboy.
The Evening News called attention to this inequality IN quotas
after the campaign was over, and the Perth Amboy chapter Of the
Red Cross took the matter up with national headquarters with the
result that a letter was received admitting inequalities in the
quotas and giving Perth Amboy credit for the amount raised here.
Today the Evening News publishes another letter which has been
received by the local chapter further ~justifying the complaint
made by Perth Amboy regarding the former quota, and announcing
The basis for a new quota for Red Cross drives hereafter. This is
much more equitable than the old quota and really gives Perth
Amboy a chance.
Incidentally, the letter from national headquarters states that
cf the $5,250000 which was raised by the Red Cross in the United
States for the Japanese relief, Perth Amboys share on the basis
stated would be $4,000, which amount Perth Amboy exceeded by a
full third. This is good news for those in this city who take pride
in having Perth Amboy make good in every undertaking.

Farmer Jim Speaks

Former Senator James MARITIME, the farmer orator from Plain
field, went all the way to Washington this week to tell the world
that he is just as wet as ever. Somehow or other, the newspapers
picked up this announcement and published it as news. A famous
Journalist in trying to tell what news really is, once defined 1t
This way; If a dog bites a man it is not particularly news because
that is what is expected of a dog; but if the man bites the dog, that
is real news as il is something decidedly unusual. If the dispatches
from Washington, therefore, had said that MARITIME had come out
IN favor of the drys it would have been an item of real interest.
Farmer Jim seems to have taken particular delight in %prodding
his Democratic successor because the Volstead has not yet been
changed, and the constitution has not been amended. Of course,
congress has been in session only about fifteen days, but the
greater part of that time has been taken up in getting organized,
but that is nothing in Farmer Jim's young life. He wants action.
Doubtless he thinks he could have done a great deal better if he
aad been in the senate instead Of Edwards, but somehow or other
lie Plainfeld orator does not impress the people of New Jersey
very much. He was sent to Washington in the first place on a
fIuke, and the people saw to it that he was retired just as soon as
they could possibly apply the hook. What he thinks of the bonus

whatever. But to breeze in at Washington and make a noise
without having any Of the responsibility is great fun for jim
