pie we grovy to condone evil because it is successful. Theodore Roosevelt. paign of 1912 was a martyrdom for Col. Roosevelt and that even at the start he knew that it was bound to bring him disaster, but he felt im palled to make the battle because he would not temporize with eor ruption. "In the long fight for righteousness the watchword for all of ua is to spend and be spent.

It is little matter whether any one man falls or succeeds, the Cause will not fall, for it is the Cause of Mankind." was his motto throughout, declared Dr. Johnson. The speaker declared that these are the principles that the three-fold memorial to Col. Roosevelt seeks to perpetuate, and that every American who loves, his pountry should seek ta establish that memorial. Outline Memorial.

Walter C. Sedam, chairman of the local Roosevelt Memorial Commit tee, outlined the plans of the memorial project which call for the establishment of a park at the Presi Roosevelt Pledge Card ON WORK BEGUN BY ROOSEVELT (Continued from Page One) spirit of devotion to the man they were honoring observable in the members of the audiepce that re called the days when Roosevelt was leading his forces "to Armageddon to battle for the Lord" in his great attempt to put the management of one of the great parties into the hands of the common peeplei rather than in a clique. The Colonel's devotion to the interests of the rank and file of the peppla, h's championing of the cause of the great middle class and his becoming the ppokesman for this vast but inarticulate body were dwelt upon carefully by his former pastor, who declared that this spirit should be perpetuated forever In the hearts of Americans as a living, vital part of our public rollcy. CouM Appreciate Others. In Colonel Roosevelt, declared the speaker, were combined all the elements of greatness, chief among which was the fact that he could recognize great qualities in others, Some ns who are counted great," declared Dr.

Johnson, "are narrow and selfish and Jealous of others, but many of Roosevelt's friends were altogether outside his own political fold and had interests entirely opposite to Jus." The former President was compared with Grover Cleveland in thls and Dr. Johnson declared that the two were firm friends. "The moral courage, the magnify, cent and fearless sturdlness of soul and the simple personal dignity of the man are the things we honor tonight" said Dr. Johnson. He declared that Roosevelt fought both predatory wealth and lawless an archy, that he would permit neither a tyrant rich nor a tyrant poor, and his action in the coal strike of was cited.

"President Roosevelt felt that, as the natiqnaj commander-ln-ohief he must force the issue, he could not take the easy path for nimself," declared the speaker. "Had he al lowed the strike to go on through his personal inertia he would have been guilty shameful culpability. As it was he saved millions from misery." The unflinching, wise, self-direction of the man was also brought out by the speaker, who declared that Roosevelt truly gave his body to serve his soul. He could have chosen the easy path, but he chose rather to follow the line of right and duty, without which no man can be great Dr. Johnson commented on Co.

Roosevelfs relations with his; children, and he declared that the adoration they gave him was proof positive of the greatness of the man's soul, simple and sincere and big enough to meet children on their own ground. Wanted No Personal Gain. The former President was abso lutely devoid of any desire for per sonal advantage or gain, declared the speaker, who knew him intl matelyi and when he sought office It was merely that he might hetter serve the people ef the nation. Dr. Johnson declared that the cam N'ame Business Address Residence Address i i :1 PLEDGE PROMPT REPLY TO OPPONENT (Continued from Page One) for the building of the Albany street bridge.

The people of the city of New Brunswick and Highland Park showed their resentment by refusing him a renomination and many of those same people have not forgotten him as yet. "My opponent. Mr. Hilker, when he entered the campaign said that 'it was a well known fact that the county clerk's office was efficiently B. 3H.

GAJfNOW. and economically managed and that tne omoe was free from politics." He also said that It was un-American for a man to run for an office for a third term, still I see tn his biography printed in tonight's Home News that served three terms in the Board of Aldermen of Perth Amboy. "Con sistency thou art a jewel." "I have also read an article in the woodorldge Independent printed on Friday last in which it stated that Mr. Hilker had given up his business in Perth Amboy, so that after election he would be able to devote all his time to the office' of county collector and county clerk, so I presume that is quite American for Mr. Hilker to hold two county Jobs at one time and draw a salary from eaoft.

As to a Gift "Hilker on his advertising card states teat he only wants one term. as that is big enoug-h gift from the puDiic ror any man. "Well, gentlemen, as understand it, the county clerk's office is one of the constitutional offices of the county ror wnicn a man is paid a eerta salary to perform certain duties for the people of this county. I have taken the oath of office with that tnougnt in mind, and have performed those duties, and a report of the doings of the office for the past five years will be published In full inside of forty-eight hours, and we will then let the public see whether I have made good or not, "Now, Mr. Hilker.

the people of this county are not bestowing a gift on either Hilker or Gannon, and for the life of me I cannot understand what obligations the people of this county are under to Mr. Hilker that he Rhould them for a gift "In Mr. Hilker's biography printed In tonight's Home News, states that he gave up a business that it took him eighteen years to build up in order to devote his time to political office. That same article, as well as all of his advertising places him before the public as a great business man. "I now call on Mr.

Hilker to tell the people Just what that business was and the volume of it each year, so that the public can better understand Just what his business qualifications are. Candidly, I do not thlnk-his business record will get him very far. He also claims responsibility, and it sure is a responsibility, for promoting- and pushlne to eomple-t'on the Municipal Electric Light Plant at Perth Amboy, and that It saved the taxpayers twenty thousand dollars per year. "Well, gentlemen, the fact is, that the of Perth Ambov is losing about 1 30.000 per year on the plant. About four years ago the Public Service Corporation was eager to make a five-year contract to light the city of Perth Amboy at the rate of $26r 000 per year.

The proposition was rejected and Municipal Light Plant was Installed, and it Is now, according to the figures of the comptroller's office In the Citv Hall at Perth Amboy, costing JuBt $56,000 per year to lirht the city which shows a loss cf $30,000 to the taxpayers instead of gain of $20,000. Mr. must be some business man to juggle those figures in order to show a pain for the city. "Now, gentlemen, let me tell ypu something more about this great business man who is going to install new methods of efficiency In the county P. REJECTS MODIFIED ZONE SYSTEM (Continued from Page One) part of the public to ride, that it has Increased the number of Jitneys that are being operated, and that-it has been condemned by the State Labor Federation and by the conventions of both the Republican and Democratic parties.

The company also filed with the commissioners a copy of a statement submitted to company officials by the carmen's unions objecting to the continuance of the system. This statement declared that the men had tried to give the system a fair trial but that it had proven unsuccessful. They also declared that they had not passed upon the question of fares or revenue at all but were objecting merely to the operation of the system. Blame Accidents on Plan. According to the carmen, the zone fare system unduly distraots the attention of the motormen and has been the cause of nurterous rear-end collisions, with consequent discharge of the motormen, as there is an unwritten rule that any motor-man whose car collides with the rear of another is discharged, on the ground that the accident is inexcusable.

Under these conditions the met claim that the conductor should have entire charge ef fare collection and that the motorman should do nothing but manage the operation of the car. i Slows Down Operation. It was also contended by the com. pany that experience with the aone system has made it clear that this plan of operation eflows down the whole system. The cars don't move so quickly, with a consequent In-crease in the cost of operation.

Under the zone system, it was claimed, It is impossible to give the publto the service to which it is entitled, and for these reasons the company demanded the holltloln of the system and the return to a flat seven-cent fare. The demand was handed to the Public Utilities Commission When it met at eleven o'clock this morning1 at Trenton, today being the last day that was allowed for the filing of an answer by the company to the Commission's order for the continuance of the zone syFem with certain modifications. The Utilities Board will meet tomorrow and Thursday in Newark and it is probably that there will be a hearing on the demand for a return to the flat seven-cent fare at that time. Navy Holds Open Door to Opportunity A recent study of the roster of officers of the United States Navy shows that out of 5,697 officers, on the active list of the regular Navy holding permanent or temporary po sitions, there are 1,718 who eervea in the Navy as enlisted men. This number includes only those who took examinations from the ranks for a commission, and does not take in a great number of Annapolis graduates who entered the Naval Academy by obtaining one et the one hundred appointments to that institution offered yearly to enlisted men.

It can readily be seen from these figures that th Navy holds the doors open for advancement to every boy enlisting as an apprentice seaman. What the Navy has to offer to the thoughtful recruit is- opportunity. It is of interest to note mat iaeux.

Under the Pierson act now In effect bonds cannot be issued for a longer period than the life of the Improvement In the case of the Electros light plant any competent engineer will easily prove to you that it will be junk inside of twenty years, and still the bonds were issued for a period of fifty years, and all under the supervision of Mr. Hilker, so much for his business ability. "There is a lot more that I would like to say, but I have now taken more time than was allotted to me, so will retire in' favor of the next speaker, but before doing so, I again ask Mr. Hilker to place his wpnder-ful business record that he advertises so much before the people, so that they may be better able to judge as to his qualifications."
