CLUB SHOOT
ATTRACTS MANY
$500 in Gold Awarded as
Prizes to High Men in
Handicap Event

The shoot held on Saturday MORN
ing and afternoon on the Spa Spring
range of the Perth Amboy Rod and
Gun Club was well attended and
proved to be a successful event in
spite of the threatening weather
which no doubt was responsible for

both being Avon men who broke SO
targets and had a handicap of seven
birds each. Neither of these men
had any rating in the official manual
from which IN handicaps were al
loted and the local handicap COM
mittee allowed them eve birds

would indicate that the handicap
was toe high. 1t was seen at the
close of the shoot that this method
of handicapping does not get the
desired results of having all en-
trants On a par n it was decided

line of about fifty. The improvement in unemploy-
ment is borne out in the want ad columns of the
newspapers in the larger cities, where there is n
marked shrinkage in the situations wanted and an
increase in the help wanted columns.
The protective tariff is reflected all along the
line. The emergency tariff law, enacted in 1921
and operative until succeeded by the general tariff
created better prices for the products of the farm.
Exports since the passage of the new tariff have
been tremendous, utterly confounding the predic-
tions of those who declared that the restoration of
protection would mean the cessation of purchases
of our goods by foreign countries because of their
inability to sell to us. Imports will reach (, O00,.
100000 during the first year of the new tariff law.
In November, 1922, We exported $376,O0O,0 900 worth
of goods, compared with $2S9, OO0,00 in November,
1921, an increase of 30 per cent the second full
month under the operation of the new law. The
outlook is good for a favorable trade balance for
the first twelve months of protection restored to
81 800, 1000 without having to rely on a foreign
war to stimulate export trade, and with full knowl-
edge that commodity requirements created by wars
aftermath have practically ceased.
During the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1918,
under the protective policy, our favorable trade
balance was 1868, 000, 1000 with a total foreign trade
of S4,279.000,O00. In 1914, mine months under the
Democratic tariff law it fell to $40, 000, 900 with a
total trade of $4,259, 000,GGG. During the five
months, April to August, 1914, the balance was
running against us. Present Indications show an
increase in total trade for the first year of the
new tariff, over 1913, of II per cent, and an in,
crease in favorable balance of 100 per cent at the
lowest calculation.
What Democratic tariff law has ever shown such
remarkable results?

To Arouse Voters

MEMBER of an eastern legislature, disguised
n with the failure of electors in his bailiwick to
take part in primaries and elections and register
Mt least some indication of interest in their own
public affairs, has introduced a measure for the
ringing of bells and the blowing of whistles on
election day morning to recall to minds of voters
the day upon which they must get out and perform
their duty and the importance of that duty.
If the bill becomes the law it is very doubtful
IL the remedy will reach the voters who do not and
will not realize that election day is the only one on
which they have. some power of determining the
quality of and kind of government they shall have.
No firebells are loud enough to awaken some con.
sciences, no whistles carry far enough to change
habit, which ward committees, party organizations,
campaign speakers and even urgings of members
of the family cannot influence.
Until a man realizes the value of the privilege
which is his as a citizen on election day, no bell
or whistle will send him to the polls. If voters
arc told for every day of the month preceding cleo.
ton day the date, the time of the opening and
closing Of the polls and then do not care enough to
deposit their ballots, no salvO or whistles, no
carlton of fire and church bells at seven o'clock
in the morning is great enough to bring regenera.
tion. The change must be brought about by edu.
cation in the duties of a citizen. No Ginning of
whistles nor morning bells will bring it. The
whistles may below, and whistles blow, but they'll
set few wild voters flying 10 the polls.

II soUAREST CITY
Lapse 10 the PrimitiUe.

pECENTLY, in an eastern city, some larger, pos.
IL sibly, than Casper, a high school boy, whose
parents were poor in this worlds goods, but rich
in other things that go to make happiness in the
struggle of life, became discontinued because he
lacked the money, the clothes, the automobile, and
other things, that would gain for him the position
and social standing that his poverty denied.
He brooded over the situation for some weeks,
then went forth one night and held up a small
place of business, took the money he found and
was shot dead by a police officer while making his
escape. The boy had been q good, clean, moral boy
all of his life, he was beloved by parents, n~eighbors
and associates. He had never committed a wrong
act before. He simply wanted the things others of
his own age had and he took the only means at
his command to secure them. 1t was a wrong
means, to be sure, but is the entire responsible
ity his? Remember he was an immature youth and
there were many things i'll life he had not yet
learned. He saw only the inequality of his own
compared with the situation of others no better
than himself.
His reasoning in the problem he faced was prim
itivc. He lacked, therefore he must procure by the
first means that occurred to him.
There is a responsibility in the case If there be
no blame, and that lies with the parents Of the
boys schoolmates. They have no moral, if they
do have a legal right and the financial ability to
provide automobiles and unreasonable luxuries for
their own. No more than they have the mora
right to encourage an aristocrucy of the more for
tunate among their own and other similarly stu
ated scholars of a free public school.
It is wrong and 1t should not be. Had there
been some means Of making that school the simple
democracy of the old district school, a bright young
life would have been spared, and who knows, tina
same boy i'll future years, o~utgrowirg the frivolous
things that brought his ruin and death, may hav,
lived to lead all the rest in wealth, honor anc
respect of those who had been his playmates.

On the lob.

EVIDENTLY our old friend the tariff is on the
II job, and when it is working there is work for
those who were benched by the former system.
Industries have been stabilized by the new meas.

expect. They are going ahead and achieving max,

Reports from the middle west show n remarkable
decrease in unemployment, and the practical eli.
mination of the bread lines. The chief cause given
is Improvement in industries. In the Northwest
there is a large demand for lumberjacks, building
workers and common labor. From Detroit comes
the report that more men are now employed than
ever before in the city's history. indianapolis
reports employment so nearly normal that no eff
fort has been made to check the total out Of work.
Louisville says the unemployed arc not numerous
and in st. Louis unemployment has fallen from
$4,000 the winter of 1921 to 5000 now, among the
unemployed being n large number of former brew.
cry workers.
There has been a marked falling off in unem-
ployment in Illinois and Iowa. Wisconsin reports
employment conditions as satisfactory. Duluth
steel mills closed in 1921 now employ $500. In
Sioux Falls, s. D., unemployment is reported negli-
