THEY STAND BY THE MAYOR.
Hudson City improvement
Association Endorse His
Honor's Water and
Trolley Stand.

The Hudson City Improvement Associa-
ton held a meeting at Groeschefs Han,
last evening, and discussed several i'm
portant improvements. Progress was re-
ported concerning the work on the Ho-
boken avenue sewer. The Committee on
Schools reported that progress on the
work of constructing the new No. rs
School, in Palisade avenue, had been
somewhat slow, and that it was doubtful
If the school would be ready for occu-
pancy before January /. Mr.. Muir of the
committee on securing the construction
of the proposed iron steps at the foot of
Laidlaw avenue, reported that everything
was favorable, except that money for
their construction was not yet available.
He said the city officials all favored the
idea
Nicholas Witsch advised the associa-
ton against taking up the subject OF too
many proposed improvements at once,
stating that it might have a tendency
to frighten property owners on account
of numerous assessments Mr.. Barber
thought differently. He argued that that
section of the city had been neglected SO
long on account of the apathy OF IT'S
residents and property owners that 1t
had fallen behind other sections OF the
o;tv IN the matter of improvements. He
believed 1t was high time hat the prop
erty owners of that section were awaken
ed to a sense of personal loss through
their own apathy.
Progress was reported on the proposed
widening of and otherwise improving
Palisade avenue, from Hoboken avenue 10
Newark avenue. When the fate OF the
hin for the improvement of the Hacken-
sack River water front was pending the
association sent a letter to Governor
voorhees, asking if it was SO framed that
no corporation could goble up the bene-
Ats of its provisions. A letter received
some weeks ago from the Governor was
read at last nights meeting stating that
he would give the request careful con-
sideration. The Governor vetoed the bill
several days ago
The association decided to take up the
matter of assisting to push the Seven
teenth street improvement, through to
Hoboken avenue. The secretary was In
structed to communicate with the North
Side improvement Association concerning
the matter.
The secretary was instructed to write
to Mayor Hoos that his action in vetoing
the Grove street trolley ordinance and his
stand on the water supply question had
been endorsed by the association.
Mr.. Muir informed the association that
the Mayor had been invited to attend any
meeting of the association and had ex-
pressed his pleasure at receiving the invi-
tation.
The secretary was instructed to write
to Chief Of Police Murphy complaining of
the littering of the streets by advertising
posters, circulars, etc.
Charles w. Bauhahn was last night
elected secretary to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of F. w. A.
Fuller. Mrs. Black was elected auditor
in place of Mr.. Bauhahn- The new ex-
ecutive committee was announced as COM
posed of Messrs. Muir and Wackernau.

In the last day or two, 1.-The News" has
received a number of circulars from the
Treasury Department at Washington,
both directly and indirectly through the
Jersey City Postmaster. They have refer
ence to various details of the bond issue,
now in progress, and they are accom-
panied by a cool request for free p~ublica-
ton.
Just why the newspapers should be
asked TO give free service to the Govern
ment we fail to see. The Government is
rich, and it should set the example of
paying its way. 1t should pay for every
thing 1t needs, not ex-travagantly, but at
the full market rate. 1t is immoral and
impolite for it to beg or steal from its W
citizens or to set an example or standard
of begging or stealing.
Neither is there any more reason why
it should expect %gratuitous service from
the newspapers than from any other class
of business enterprise. 1t has to pay for
printing and transporting its bonds, and it
should pay for advertising them. too.
There is no more reason why publicity
which is a very valuable, even though in
tangible commodity-should be gratuitous
thar powder or shot or armor plate or
stationery or expert talent of one sort or
another.
OF course, were the Government in need,
any and every newspaper would give its
service free. just as any and every citizen
would give his life, if the extremity arose.
AS a matter of fact, the newspapers give
service of in~caiculable value to it in every
issue. and it is inseparable from their
nature that they should do so. They are
the teachers of patriotism. the censors OF
public morals, the disseminators of infor-
nation and intelligence. They are the
c-onservators of the form of u Govern
ment and the nourishment of its spirit.
without them, the Republic could not
maintain its existence on its present vast
scale.
For the service which they do, in these
directions, in the fulhlment Of their own
nature and being, they ask no reward
and desire none, save the support of the
public. But because they necessarily
serve the Government in a thousand ways
for which it cannot pay, there is no justi-
fcation for it's demanding the gratuitous
performance of another service for which
it can pay and ought to pay, and for
which any private party would have to
pay.

A Chance for Newspaper soavengers

We are truly shocked to see how wicked
they are in Camden. Mr.. Sheffield Phelps
should buy some old paper there and send
Mr.. Ebert Rappleye and the rest of his
Raines Law Hotel gang there to purify
the office of the Republican Sheriff.
This suggestion is prompted by a
hideous discovery which we made in the
Philadelphia papers of Thursday morn
ing. we found. there, indisputable evil
dence that the officers charged with fhe
administration of the law are in
cahoots', with the gambling element, and
we believe this is the sort of immortality
that gives or used to give Phelps, Rap
pleye & Co. intense pain when they sus-
pected its existence in Hudson county.
It is possible Messrs. Phelps, Pidgeon,
Doll. Beck and Rappleye may not be as
sensitive to crime as they were a couple
of months ago, when they thought there
was money in a moral crusade; but in
the hope that the carrion of South Jersey
may allure them, and thus relieve us OF
their presence, we rave pleasure in laying
the facts before them and the public,
quoting them from a newspaper of the
Republican persuasion.
The facts, then, are that, on Wednesday
afternoon, Under Sheriff J. Wesley Sell
and a squad Of Camden county constables
raided a notorious gambling resort at
Seventeenth and Federal streets, in Stock
ton. on the outskirts of Camden A pool
room has been in operation there for some
time. Through a timely Tip" the men
who ran the place were prepared for the
raid. but gambling paraphernalia was
found in the cellar and taken to the
Sheriff's Office in Camden. George W. and
Harry Sterling were arrested and also
taken to Camden, wher bail was fixed at
81, 900 each.
The raid was made on a warrant issued
by Justice Schmitz on complaint of Con-
stable Fred vogt. Under Sheriff Sell,
witt, his posse, took a train from the Fed
eral street depot to Wildwood, near Mer-
chantville, and then returned to Stockton
by way Of a trolley car. Some one, how
ever, in league with the gamblers got The
tin on the issue Of the warrant, dashed
out to Stockton and gave warning of the
intended raid.
