Hard Job For Couple
To Wed AT So. AmbOy

SOUTH AMBOY, July ct takes
more than saying II do to gel mar
ried in South Amboy. So Miss Mary
Kluska. nineteen years old, of Au
gusta street, and Peter Geek of
sgt Center street. found out yes
terday after they had figured the
matter out for almost half a day.
Miss Kluska, a pretty blond, ac-
cording to her story to Acting Chief
of Police Gleason. had been put out
OF her parents home, because of her
attentions to Geek. She later went
to the home of an aunt, where
Geek was a boarder.
The whole story was barred to the
acting chief by Miss Kluska: II want
to get married" she said, what am
I to do?"
Well" said Chief Gleason. "the
first thing to do is to procure a
license. You'll get that at Mr..
Nagle's Office. He's the registrar OF
vital statistics. Then and not till
then can you be married."
From all accounts the young lady
rushed to the office of Mr.. Maggie,
who notified her that it was neces-
sary to have someone that knew
both of them come there to swear
to the fact. There was no one that
knew both of them outside of Mr..
and Mrs. K1uska, and of course
they were both out Of the question.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
WORK is DISCUSSED

DIES MONIES, Iowa, July S.
Frederick A. Wallis, Commissioner
of Correction of New York, and E.
P. Gates of Boston, secretary of the
Christian Endeavor Society, were
chief speakers on today's program of
the international Christian Endeav-
or here.
Mr.. Wallis, who is former inn
migration commissioner at the Port
of New York, pointed out how the
organization might we'll extend it's
service. The fact that foreign trade
and influence follows in the wake
of Christian pioneers was the theme
OF Mr.. Gates.
The per capita annual consump-
ton of opium in Italy is one grain,
in Germany, two grains; England
three grains; France, four grains and
the United States. thirty-six grains,"
he said.
Furthermore our consumption of
this drug is ever on the increase.
There must be a prohibition of the
poppy, as well as of alcohol"
Discussing immigration. Mr.. Wallis
said, Immigration can be regulated
by legislation or diplomacy, or by
both, but the immigrant cannot be

and must be treated as such. Every
day is judgement day for many peo-
pie at Ellis Island. Families are cut
in twain, husband and wife separat-
ed, children torn from their parents
and mothers taken from their chill
dren. One is taken and the other
left, right down the line. 1t Is all
wrong an dior the nations honor 1t
should be stopped forthwith.
Clarence Hamilton of Boston,
prominent Endeavor leader, deplor-
ed the hero worship bestowed by
the American youth on his favorite
motion picture, baseball or boxing
star.
Special "quiet hour" services were
held in three churches during the
forenoon and group conferences
dealt with leadership training, mis-
sionary education and religious vo-
cations.
The main section of the conven-
ton had before it a resolution con-
demning the 12-hour day and 7-day
week as opposed to Christian prin-
ciples and a to the welfare
of workers.
Prohibition of the poppy as the
sure way to stamp out the narcotic
evil and the selection of Immigrants
before they sail for America were
advocated by Mr.. Wallis.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

When the issue is sharply
raised, as it was by the Citizen
ship Conference in Washington,
whether a law which has been
held constitutional, and which
is regarded as of immediate and
vital concern by great numbers
of citizens, ought to be rigidly
enforced, there can be but one
answer. 1t is the same for men
of all parties. Republicans will
not be able to outstrip Demo-
Gratis in at least lip service to the
sanctity and majesty of the law.
Just now there seems to be a
sort of partisan contest to de-
eide which party shall prove
stronger for prohibition in its
national platform next year.
But the present indications are
that both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis will use as positive a form
of words as can be found in as
serting their firm determination
to uphold the Constitution and
enforce the law.
Everybody must approve of
the general doctrine. The trou-
BILE comes in its application.
Thoughtful men are disturbed
by the evidence of a sort of un-
reality, an artificial attitude, on
the part of the public men who
are forced to take a position on
this question. They are most
anxious that the law should be
enforced, but they greatly pre-
fer that some one else should do
the enforcing. Out of the
whole discussion at Washington
the one definite conclusion which
energies is that there is every
where a tendency to shirk and
shift the responsibility for max
ing national prohibition a living
thing instead of merely a statu-
tory enactment.
Sweeping and unguarded asser-
tions are the commonest pitfalls
for the feet of party leaders ar
guing this matter. Senator
Borah did not wholly escape
them in his speech to the con-
ference. He said that he should
be a whining hypocrite" if he
demanded enforcement Of the
Eighteenth Amendment, and
said nothing about the First
Amendment. Why did he omit
mention of the Fourteenth and

Morality, double or single
