MEAN WHAT YOU SAY

A great concertmaster was holding
a rehearsal of Handers solemn and
glorious Messiah"
At the right moment the rich voice
of the contralto soloist began with
the beautiful lines of II Know That
My Redeemer Liveth."
The singers technique was excel
lent. Her range and quality were
good But there was something lack
ing.
The solo was finished. The orches-
ira was at rest. The contralto SOLO
list, sure OF herself, waited for the
praise of the master. Instead, he al
most rushed over to her and shook
his finger close to her face.
you don't know that your Redeem
er liveth, do your" he cried. "You
don't know that your Redeemer liv-
eth
81 think I do" she said.
"Then tell it to me-" said the mas
ter.
The music began again. This time
the voice of the contralto was new
instrument for the expression of the
hope and faith and longing of the hu-
man soul. She told the master that
her Redeemer liveth.
Young writer's, young public speak
ers, young statesmen wonder why their
public is unmoved. Their technique
is almost perfect. Their practice has
been intense. They have worked long
and honestly in preparation.
The answer is simple. They don't
know what they write. They don't
know what they speak. They don't
know what they SELL And they don't
mean it.
Technique can please an audience
whether your audience is one man to
whom you are selling shoe or an
auditorium packed with eager listen.
ers. But technique cannot burn an
audience, cannot inspire an audience,
cannot send it on it's way to action.
Get the technique and then forget
it. That is the best and only rule.
Forget yourself in the desire to
"get across" something worth while.

Watchman Assaulted
By Unknown Men

Stabbed and beaten by four men in
an automobile, Pietro Macescio, of
Crescent avenue, Grantwood, a watch
man employed by John j. McGarry,
the contractor on the Anderson ave-
nue. improvement, was badly done up
in Fairview on Saturday night.
One man is under arrest and three
more are under surveillance by the
Fairview police for the assault. The
name of the man arrested has not
been disclosed by the police.
The watchman told the police that
four men riding in an automobile on
Saturday night attempted to drive the
machine on the newly laid concrete.
On being informed by him that they
would not be able to get through the
street, the four became abusive and
leaping from the machine, pummeled
the lone watchman, one of the assail-
ants stabbing Macescio with a knife
in the shoulder.
Leaving the beaten man on the
pavement, the four returned to their
machine and sped off.
The watchman could not give a de-
tailed description of his assailants,
but from the meagre information fur
nished the police, Chief Anthony Ma
grino and Captain Hoffman made the
arrest. The police are confident that
the other three assailants of Macescio
will be under arrest within a short
time.

ain HIS IMAGE"
(By William Jennings Bryan)
THE ORIGIN OF MAN

Probably nothing impresses Darwin
more than the fact that at an early
stage the foetus of child cannot be
distinguished from the foetus of an
ape, but why should such similarity
in the beginning impress him more
than the difference at birth and the
immeasurable gulf between the two
at forty? If science cannot detect a
difference, known to exist, between
the foetus of an ape and the foetus
of a child, it should not ask us to
sumptions and the probabilities of
science for the word of God.
Science has rendered invaluable
service to society; her achievements
are innumerable-and the hypothesis
OF scientists should be considered
with an open mind. Their theories
should be carefully examined and
their arguments fairly weighed. but
the scientist cannot compel accept
ance of any argument he advances,
except as, judged upon its merits, it
is convincing. Man is infinitely more
than science; science, as we'll as the
Sabbath, was made for man. 1t must
be remembered, also, that all sciences
are not of equal importance. Tolstoy
insists that the science of "How to
Live" is more important than any
other science, and is this not true? It
is better to trust in the Rock of Ages
than to know the age of the rocks; it
is better for one to know that he is
close to the Heavenly Father than to
know how far the stars in the heav
ems are apart. And is it not just as
important that the scientists who
deal with matter should respect the
scientists who deal with spiritual
things, as that the latter should
respect the former? If it be
true, as Paul describes, that ''the
things that are seen are temporal
while "the things that are unseen are
eternal" why should those who deal
with temporal things think them
selves superior to those who deal with
the things that are eternal? Why
should the Bible, which the centuries
have not been able to shake, be dis
carded for scientific works that have
to be revised and corrected every few
years? The preference should be
given to the Bible.

Local Man Figures in
Exhibition Test of New
Use Found for Radio

Capt. Charles w. Degen, referred to
in the following story from the New
York American, is local man living
at 632 Palisade avenue, in Grantwood.
A new use has been found for the
radio telephone.
Enterprise and ingenuity on the
part of the Radio Corporation OF
America and the New York Central
Railroad have combined to open up a
much wider field for this type of COM
munication.
No longer will it be necessary for
New York harbor tugboats to tie up at
piers for further orders. Messages
will be broadcast to each New York
Central tug from the tower at No. 6
Beaver street. Each tug will be
equipped eventually with both send
Ing and receiving set.
Yesterday afternoon an exhibition
test was held between the dispatch
er's office and Tug No. IS. The con-
versation between w. P. Pollock, ma
rine manager of the New York Cen
trail Railroad, and Capt Charles w.
Degen, of Tug No. IS, was something
like this:
Hello, Tug No. 1S! How is the
tide?"
"a flood tide is now running up the
river, sir" was the RESPONSE.
Fine. Report at Pier A"
Tug No. Is is the flagship of the
New York Central feet. 1t is the
largest of the twenty-seven New York
Central tugs in service.
A group of railroad and newspaper
men were given ride down the liar,
Dor as further tests were made with
the radio telephone. By using the
ocean as a ground plate and by string.
ing one overhead wire a radius of sew.
enty-fve miles, the perimeter of the
harbor, is established. The sets in
stalled are low power tube radio tel.
ephony transmitters, working on 1O9
meters, coupled up to a standard Ra-
diola receiver adjusted to receive the
low wave length.
At present only one tug, Tug. No.
Is, is equipped to receive and respond
to telephone orders. The entire fleet
will be equipped if further tests are
equally satisfactory.
e. c. Keenan, manager of the tele-
phone and telegraph division, called
the dispatcher's tower from the tug
and elected the information that the
Twentieth Century Limited had de-
parted for Chicago in three sections.
According to Mr.. Keenan,, the New
York Central will save $4,000 annual
ly by the new device. Not only will
it mean a. saving Of $500 per month
per tug, but it will reduce the neces-
sary tug power by per cent.

POOR POLITICS

Results so far announced from the
statewide straw vote in which The
Sunday Press Is participating, along
with twenty other newspapers of New
Jersey, confirm a rather general i'm
preston that organized Republican
leadership is taking only luke
warm interest in the candidacy of the
party nominee, Senator Whitney. In
counties normally Republican by
overwhelming majorities, such as AT
lantic, Essex and others, the Whit
ney votes are scarcely keeping up
with the returns for Moore, while in
pronounced democratic counties, such
as Hudson, the Whitney vote is so
small as to be negligible.
OF course this is only a straw vote,
offering loopholes for all manner Of
propaganda voting" But it must
be borne in mind that the poll is as
fair for one party as the other. If
there is real enthusiasm for Whit
ney in the Republican ranks. why
does II not show itself as in the case
with Moore enthusiasm in the Demo
cratic camp? Why do so many Re
Iubllcans 30 about with tongues in
their mouth, conveying an impression
OF fear and doubt, when they might be
working and radiating hope-why,
unless the wish is parent of the
thought?
Here in Atlantic county not few
stalwart Republicans, who at least
see as much to admire in Mr., Whit
ney as in Mr.. Moore, know the former
much better and would prefer to see
a Republican governor at Trenton,
profess bewilderment at the attitude
Of some local leadership. Besides the
city hall banner incident and the open
warfare against Whitney campaign
worker, 1t Is said that some of the Re-
publican campaigning through the

MARINps CIVIC ACTIVITIES

Although his duties as chief execu-
tive of Cliffside Park keeps him con-
stantly busy, Mayor Joseph Marini
stin has time to give to civic affairs.
He has promoted several very i'm
portant relief drives, all Of which
strengthen the argument that he Is
sound, reliable and efficient.
During Mr.. Marini's administration
hospital facilities have been assured
to the INDECENT as well as those who
cannot pay full rates in the Engle-
wood Hospital, by the inclusion in the
budget of an amount to cover the loss
sustained by the hospital between the
amount paid by the patient and the
actual cost. Many patients have gone
from Cliffside Park to Englewood Hos
pital and have always secured first
class attention and aid simply because
our mayor and council has seen fit to
provide for such an emergency. The
sum included in the budget for such
emergencies is $1,1O0, and has been
paid to the hospital.
Mayor Marini also headed and aided
the Nelson Orphan Home Drive IN
Cliffside Park. He was instrumental
in raising the sum contributed by the
people of this borough.
The Salvation Army also received
considerable when Mayor Marini con-
Quoted drive for more funds through
the medium of a motion picture dis
play and entertainment.
The very commendable work done
by him toward the relief of the in
jured Fort Lee Firemen and their
families after that disastrous fire,
came unsolicited and did much to help
the families of the victims.
All this work is aside from his
regular trying routine of official
duties as mayor.
The people of Cliffside Park can
we'll be proud of their mayor. His
keen interest in the progress of Cliff
side Park: his good, clean construc-
tive government; his efficient hand
ling of his office has made for him
many admiring friends and followers.

UGLY BILLBoARDs

Maine has taken the lead in the
fight against the unsightly bill board
which in ever part Of the country is
an unnecessary deflement of all the
country's highways. Maine has passed
a law under which the state police and
highway commission are charged with
the specific duty Of obliterating the
glaring monstrosities that shut off or
mar wonderful vistas.
There has in every state been a
criticism of the practice OF marr1ng
the views from our beautiful high
ways by i'll considered and ugly adver-
tising signs. Maine, we believe, is the
first state to protect the motorist in
his right to view the beauties OF the
countryside. The automobile is work
ing a revolution in transportation and
travel.
Those who never thought to see
America first are taking thought, and
in the family car are spending their
vacation on the road. But almost
everywhere and on every road those
seeking after information and beauty
find glaring posters obstructing views
from the heights, while the valley
roads are so completely lined as to
make the last few miles into or away
for a city nightmare Of glaring,
clashing colors of the roadside blurb.
The motorists now constitute
numerous class, and like all numerous
classes, they exercise considerable in
fiuence. And when this class urges
and insists upon it's rights to view
the green countryside, without inter-
ference from the intrusive and noisy
bill boards they are likely to be heard
and needed.

tionally, cool toward the guberna-
torial candidate, if not actually slight
ing.
Certainly the situation is not reas-
suring from a Republican standpoint.
If another Democrat is sent to the ex-
ecutive office, there will be nothing
but crumbs for local Republicans,
which means lack of foundation for
strong party organization in the
future. And if fate should play a
trick, as sometimes happens, and Mr..
Whitney win, he would be justified
by the rules of practical politics in
turning deaf ear to those counties

Pudding Stones
Thrown by Gibson North for
the Benefit of the People

Frank Hague and A. Harry Moore
frankly declare they are for the re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amendment,
the Volstead act and the Hobart act.
This is a correct position for them.
Hudson county supports their declara-
ton, a frank and praiseworthy dec
laration, for it represents their con-
stituency. The prohibition question
should be cleared up by popular vote.
Our courts and enforcement officers
will not sentence or enforce unless
they know the people support them.
Witness the trial of the officers, po-
lice and others some months ago.
Conviction failed, not because of lack
of evidence, but because of lack of
support by public opinion in this dis
trict.
We are of the opinion that prohibi-
tion is a great success, considering
that it attempts to destroy the habits
of millions" handed to them through
the centuries by their forefathers.
Habit is stronger than any newly
made law, and the condition now ex-
listing comes from the persistence of
this habit.
AS the years go by appetites will
become less keen for liquor and its
associations, and the laws now in
force will be as we'll observed as 9th
ers. Just now is critical time in the
East, and it may be in the West. Let
no prohibitionist be discouraged. All
the states that have voted on the
question have defeated it from time
to time until finally it became fixed
policy in those states by popular vote.
We do not believe that whisky will
come back permanently any faster
than the oil lamp has. There will al
ways be some used of both and both
will flicker.
The government of Hudson county
has bad reputation throughout the
state Frank Hague and Harry Moore
have had much to do with 1t for many
years. Neither Moore or Hague are
really responsible, they have kept the
kind of shop their customers demand
ed-they could not be successful poll
ticians otherwise. What opponents of
Hague and Moore fear is the intro
duction in state affairs of Hudson
county politics. Rightly so, for who
among us is not influenced by our
own environment, our habits, customs
and political rules?
Here are two illustrations of care
less municipal government: Jersey
City, with a population of 315,O00, has
maintained a second class fire depart
ment, made plain by the news article
in the Jersey Journal that the depart

got in A. class, saving to the people
about 100000 in insurance premiums.
