billst this summer passing over the
thoroughfares on this end of the
speeding through this section. The
new addition 10 the motor squad are
Patrolmta O'Donnell, Mannix II
Gu.sky. The, others already assign
ed to duty on the motorcycle are
Patrolmen Jensen, Moran, Merrell
and Te-yanova. This makes seven
ing all assigned to the motorcycle
squad within the precinct that ex-
tends from Tottenville to Citing
. Vile on the east side of the island
land as far as Greenridge on the west
shore. The three new men nave
been ordered to the police motor
cycle school of instruction.
These seven motorcycle men to-
rether with the three attached to
motorcycle squad No. l, who 10 duty
in every precinct on the island for
catching speeders alone will no
doubt keep speeding and reckless
driving down to a small degree. This
lie in accordance with the safety

of deaths by motor accidents in the
city of New York.
A recent order issued to com-

Ia observe cars which they judge
t5 be exceeding the speed limit n
send a record to the chief inspector.
The inspector will then write a let

against a repetition. This new plan
will make every official a traffic cop
and he will be required to keep all
cars within his vision under close
surveillance. This rule applies TO
policemen who are not mounted on

HONORED
At COUNTY SEAT
Several Perth Amboyans at
Testimonial Dinner Given
by the Y. M. H. A.

NEW BRUNSWICK. May g.
About ESQ members Of the local
Young Mems Hebrew Association,
together with many prominent
guests attended the testimonial din
ner at the Masonic Temple on Rem
sen avenue, in honor of Abraham
Jelin. recently appointed by the gov
ernor, a member of the State High
way Commission.
A unique program was presented
and following the dinner, some very
fine after-dinner speakers addressed
the gathering. The keynote of the
talk was that of agitating "Ameri-
canism." and paying a high tribute
to Mr.. Jelin.
Mayor Morrison welcomed the
other members of the highway COM
mission, General Hugh Scott, Percy
Stewart and Walter Kidde, to this
city. The mayor also spoke a few
words in praise to the members.
General Hugh Scott was the next
speaker, and in a short but Interest,"
ing address, stated what a wonder
full choice was made when Mr.. Jelin
was appointed as a member of the
commission, and told those present
of the advanced knowledge the local
member had Of constructing roads.
He also asked that the people be a
bit lenient with the commission UNI
til the work that is IN their hands
at the present time is cleared up.
Monsignor Morris, of st. Peters
church, gave an inspiring talk on
"Americanism," in which he deplor-
ed bigotry, discrimination and mar
row mindedness, and condemned
the individual or organization which
was not working for the betterment
of America. He lauded the members
of the highway commission, and
wished them success in all of their
undertakings.
Peter F. DAILY, circuit court judge,
spoke of Mr.. Jelin as being a typical
self-made American, and stated that
the governor did not appoint him
because he was a Jew, but because
he was a true, honest faithful Am
erican citizen.
Percy Stewart. member of the
highway commission, spoke of the
sound mindedness, common sense
and the good judgment centered
around the appointment of Jelin.
Senator Morgan Larson. of Mid
dlesex. and Senator Clarence Case.
of Somerset. who stood by the gov
ernor in the confirmation of the
Highway Commission, also paid their
respects to Mr.. Jelin, while Judge
George lazarus, of Bayonne, and
John P. kirkpatrick, Middlesex
county judge, gave short talks of
praise and good wishes to Jelin.
Those present from Perth Amboy
were: Mr.. and Mrs. David T. Will
entz, Morris L. Goldberger, Bernard
Cannon, Senator Morgan Larson,
Isaac Alpern. president of the Perth
Amboy Trust Company; Charles Ru-
bernstein and Lyman Friedman.
James Baker, president of the State
Board of Taxes was also present
and spoke.

If It succeeds. no such plank will be
necessary. If it fails. it will probably
advocate a modification Of the Vol
stead act.
The President a no doubt get
good advance on the subject. He can
consult the dry member of the
Cabinet, and then he can consult
Messrs. Dandy. Davis and Weeks,
and the other wet" members; then
he can sonsult Senator Edge and
other wet" senators.
Just now Mr.. Harding is having
the experience OF Noah when he sent
out the dove to find dry land. 1t is
recorded as follows: And the dove
came back to him. The dove found
no rest for the sole of her foot"
Noah had a hard time finding dry
land, but eventually, the Scriptures
tell us, at came to pass in the six
hundred and first year Noah
looked, and behold at last the face
of the ground was dry"
Secretary Davis says the admins

ton that cannot sell itself is proba-
bly, selling the public.

will put the Democrats back into
power in 1924. You can no longer
fool the consumer.
Every Republican newspaper in the
country denounced the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff act IN its editorial col
umn.
Just now one item in that law
which is being discussed more than
any other is the item of sugar, the
tariff or which is 1.?6 on Cuban su-
gar and 2.20 on all other foreign SUI
gar. The reason for this preferential
Cuban duty is that the Cuban plan
tations are largely owned by Ameri-
cans. The tariff on Cuban sugar was
placed there for the purpose of per-
hitting the beet sugar interests of
the country and the cane sugar in
~terests of Louisiana to raise the
Price of their sugar. The 2.20 duty
On foreign sugar, other than Cuban,
! was placed there to prevent the i'm
portation of foreign sugar.
The same Republicans who prom
ised this high tariff on sugar to the
domestic beet and cane sugar inter-
ests to enable them to raise their
price, r now denying that the tariff
increases the price of sugar.. and
they have apparently convinced the
President of the United States that
their statement is true. or at least
they have raised a serious doubt in
J his mind.
As an illustration of what the
tariff on sugar actually cost the
American people, let us take the
known figures on sugar production
and consumption in 1922. In that
year we. imported from Cuba 6.474,-
$4,000 pounds of sugar. The tariff
on this at 1.76. the present rate.
amounts to $~113,957,8 $40. In the
same year the production of domes-
tic beet and cane sugar was 2,622,-
$4,000 pounds. This sugar paid no
duty but was sold at the same price
as Cuban sugar; that is to say, at
1.76 more than it would have been
sold for If there had been no duty on
Cuban sugar, which adds S45,949,-
734 to the price the people paid. The
same year we imported from the
Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Rico and
the Virgin Islands 2,221,735,400
pounds of sugar, which paid no duty.
but selling at the same price as
Cuban and domestic sugar, cost the
American people an additional $685.
093,736. From other countries we
imported 83.699,S40 pounds on which
the present duty would be 2.20, add
ing another $1,S41,S96, or a total in
creased cost to the consumers, in
order to protect domestic growers, of
s200,S42,736.
While the Republicans are arguing
over the effect of the sugar tariff, II
is estimated that the prof1teers have
added another hundred million to
their spoils.

BRIDGE
MOVE MADE

BY GEORGE FL. MANNING
[ Washington Correspondent of the

:. WASHINGTON May 3-The War
Department is being sounded out by
a group of citizens of Elizabeth. n.
j.. on a plan for building a bridge
from Elizabeth street. Elizabeth to
Staten Island, it is learned.
Before this waterway can De
bridged the consent of congress and
the war department must be OBJ
tanned. Congress usually gives its
consent upon advice from the war
department engineers that 1t will
not prove an obstruction to navi-
cation or be inimical to the national
defense.
II it appears probable that the war
department will grant its consent
the Elizabeth parties concerned in
the venture will then prepare plaas
and specifications. it is said, and
will go about raising the needed
capital. They are now sounding out
the war department in an effort 10
avoid the expense that further pro-
gress would entail if it appears UNI
likely that governmental approval
will be extended.
Negotiations as to obtaining con-
sent and concerning financial ar
RAM mets for the bridge are also
under way 1t is learned between the
freeholders of Union county and Of
ficials of Staten Island.

SLzER DOOMED FOR THE
PRESIDENCY IN n. Y. CITY
CONTINUED from page u

Not a single international problem
that faced us two years ago has
been solved.
In his speech of acceptance, Mr..
Harding said:
with a senate advising, as the
constitution contemplates, I would
hopefully approach the nations of
Europe and of the earth, proposing
that understanding which makes us
a willing participant in the conse-
Grafton of nations to a new relation
ship, and commit the moral forces
of the world, America included, to
peace and international justice"
The bashful sutton is still too shy
to propose. The hopeful approach
is vet to be made, when he can get
the constitutional advice of the best
minds of the senate.
And Peace is still looking around
Europe for a place to lay her weary
head.
He said further:
II can speak unreservedly of the
American aspirations and the Re-
publican committal for an ~associa-
ton of nations, cooperating in SUI
blime concord, to attain and pre-
serve peace through justice rather
than force, determined to add to Sc
curity through international law, so
clarified that no demonstration can
be possible without %affronting world
honor"
After two years, what has become
of these American aspirations?
Instead of aspiration, it is now
perspiration at the lack Of inspira-
ton.
What has become~o o. the "Repub-
lican committal for an association
of Nations?"
With a president and both Houses
of the congress of the same political
complexion, two years ought to be
enough to carry out a promise.
How we long to see the sublime
concord so feelingly promised.
This was not to be a complicated
League of Nations, but an "%associa-
ton so clarified that no misconstruc-
ton can be possible without affront-
ing world honor"
Perhaps the administration did
not find the task as easy as writing
q DldllOIln ana uldAliS III OlilAoCSI
and during the two years just pass
ed has as yet been unable to carry
out the process of Qualification.
All of which, Notwithstanding one
of the immortal t~hirty-one Republic
cans who pledged themselves to a
League of Nations, has for two years
been secretary of state.
And notwithstanding for two years
our leading diplomat has been the
shrinking violet, who solemnly dis
courses upon the subject, do women
have souls?"
We had an Armament Conference
for limiting ornaments, that didn't
limit, and treaties that seem to be
all right except they are not ratified
and somebody wants what is COM
monty known as reservations.
We are also to join the Internal
tional Court of Justice. The Presi-
lent must have had great faith in
the idea, because he sent his sug-
| gestions to the senate four days be-
fore adjournment, at a time when
he must have known they would not
be adopted.
Since then the President has made
| one or two public speeches on this
subject, which seem to indicate that
| his problem is to convince his own
| party that his suggestion has merit.
That party has already, by a sena-
torial vote. including his own, de-
