Yesterday was the first hot day since
the Peoples Palace swimming tank has
been ready for use and no less than three
hundred and fifty boys awaited them
selves of the opportunity to take a plunge.
This year. extensive improvements have
been made in the swimming tank Prac-
tically IT has been ali rebuilt. The old
flooring n side beams have been re-
placed with new and the tank thoroughly
renovated. These repairs required time.
So that during the last hot spell, the tank
was not ID readiness for use. Then came
the cool wave, when Of course nobody
cared about a cold plunge. and there was
not much of a crowd. With yesterdays
heat, however, the boys hurried to the
Palace impatient for swim and shower
bath alike. and from one o'clock till four
in the afternoon managed to keep up a
constant splash, jumping over one
another, diving and running to the shower
baths. There were as many as fifty boys
tn the tank and shower baths at a time
and they had no end Of sport.
Mr.. scudder says that this year contri-
buttons have been rather slow in arriving,
and that as fifteen thousand is the num-

more funds are necessary.
The Peoples Palace is the only place in
the city providing free baths for the little
street urchin, who Is probably without ia
'mcilities for bathing at home, and the pub-
lie should wake up to this fact. contri-
buttons may be sent, cash or check, TO
Mr.. Frank H. Hall, First National Bank
Building.
After the boys get through with the
tank at four o'clock, It Is thoroughly
cleaned, all the water being drawn off

is then reflled and left in readiness for

Cro.s and the spoilsmsn in Union

The Hon. Charles n. Codding, chairman
Of the Union County Republican Commit
tee and Chief Clerk in the Supreme Court
Clerks Office at Trenton, felt it in
cumbent upon him to rise up and de-
clare that he Is not the man who is rying
to defeat the denomination of Senator
Cross by the underhand method Of send
ing out rumors from Trenton that Mr..
Cross will not run again. On the con-
trary. Mr. codding takes particular pains
TO explain that he is for Judge Cross, that
he favors his denomination and predicts
his Triumphant reelection.
This is an very veil and looks well in
print, but unfortunately it is not con-
elusive. The spoils element of the Re-
publican party is very strong in Union
county and it has no use for such an
honest, straightforward citizen as Judge
Cross. Patriotism. party loyalty and de-
yotion to the public good have no sig
nlhcance to them beyond what there is
IN IT. with such a man as Judge Cross
representing the county in the upper
chamber Of the Legislature, they know
very well what the answer will be when
they esk the pertinent question, and not
vithstandfng the beautiful sentiment
which encircles the head Of the Cross
boom, like a nimbus. they don't propose
to have hin renominated If ahey can help
q. They want for a candidate an ideal
Republican, a man who thoroughly be-
5ieves that a Republican blindiy loyal to
his party Is entitled to first consideration
AM should have his wants ATTENDED to
bsfore any attention is paid to the coun-
try, State or municipality. They have
many such good Republicans out in Union
and strong efforts VIII be made to put
such = one in the chain Of Union ounty
a the Senate.
