Perth Amboy evening news., 1903-06-12

Flag Day is approaching. Sunday,
June IA, is the anniversary of the
adoption of the stars and stripes, but
it will be celebrated generally on
Monday. Flag Day is not legal
holiday, but has been observed in the
schools and by patriotic societies by
appropriate exercises and the citizens
and business houses display the colors.
A flag as beautiful as ours deserves
all the honor and praise we can give
it. the banner cannot be surpassed
in any land. 81
AS the anniversary falls on Sunday
doubtless the churches will observe
the occasion. There is some dispute
as to whether or not the constitution
follows the flag, but it is well known
that the Bible does. Let Old Glory
be given all the honor due it in Perth
Amboy.

The Freeholders are proceeding to
get the south approach of the bridge
ready so as to make the structure use
full when it is completed. 1t is time
Perth Amboy took up the matter of
the north approach seriously. 1t
would be pretty state of affairs if,
when, the bridge is completed, the
people who have been asking for it
the most should be just the ones to
delay it's being opened for traffic.

less element in Colorado was crysta-
lied into form in the days of Waite
of bloody brides fame. But
that effect would have long ago
been dissipated except for the en-
couragement given the lawless
class by certain portion of the
Colorado press. Chiefest of the
newspapers engaged in this work
we hold to be the Rocky Mountain
News. Senator Patterson $ journal.
Its editor and owner is politician.
Long ago he aspired to the Office
he has all the time depended upon
his character and standing as
wealthy man and his place at the
head OF a great journal to secure
to him the respectable vote OF his
party; but at the same time he was
determined not TO lose any votes
among the ruff scuffs." So while
knowing that such a man as Ed
Boyce ought to be behind the bars
because his business for ten years
has been to stir up instructions
with the purpose of having them
culminate in murder; he opened
the columns of the News to full
some puffs of the unhanged crimi-
nal, at which every scouDdrel in
the state rejoiced. On general
principles for years the News has
been inveighing against the
government by injunction. and
has endorsed every vagary calcula,-
ed to arraign the lawless class
against the peace of his own state
and against the rights of employers

ated now i'll a state of society not
Is degrees removed from anarchy.
Newspapers can be very pro-
vidence to a people; they can be-

be traced to any other one cause.

The Right to Work.

The right of every man to work
without regard to whether he is or
not a member of a labor union, is
so distinctly recognized not only
by President Roosevelt in respect
to employment in government SER
vice, but also by the arbitrators in
the settlement of the anthracite
coal strike, that il should no longer
be disputed anywhere.
Tie laws of this country, both
state and national, make no dis
tinction between men On account
of their relations to organized lab
or. A citizen who is not a mem
Der of union has as large rights
under the law as one who is mem.
Der, and in the exercise and enjoy
ment of these rights be is entitled
to full protection.
The sooner labor organizations
recognize this fundamental princi-
pie the sooner will they place them
selves in line with both the Law and
public sentiment. 1t IS the corner
stone on which must rest the set
Element of the labor problem, for il

anything else, can succeed which

A Few Pleasant Moments.

Man born OF woman is a little
persimmon and generally green.
His life might be divided into four
parts. As he starts his stogach is
full of pains, blackberry balsam
and paregoric, and he winds up the
first period by stealing green
apples and fishing on Sunday
The second term. commencing at
fifteen. rapidly passes into the
smart Aleek fever and he learns
to wear standing collars, smoke
cigarettes, call his father old man.
and go with the girls. AT twent-
one he has bankrup,ed his father.
and blown in every cent of his
own, he finds woman who is fool
enough to marry him, and she
takes in washing until sheis called
away. The last period he lives
around with his children, tells the
big things he did when he was a
boy. and finally goes under, max
ing a momenfary bubble on the sea
of humanity, then is forgotten.

General Leonard Wood has seen
thirty days actual service, but in
four years he has risen from an
army surgeon to the rank of a

By the time the lazy girl is so
years old she will look her age.
while the athletic girl at 80 looks
a mere slip of a girl. One is heavy
and awkward: the other is grace
full and light, while her figure re-
tains its slenderness of youth and
sometimes the almost spindling
qualities of childhood.

Wolcott Of Colorado.

The news that Edward o. VOL
cott is again in control of his party
at home and that the indications
are favorable for his return to pub
lie life makes welcome reading.
He is strong and capable man.
He has resolution and contriyance.
He is one of the most finished and
attractive orators in the country.
He is one of the best lawyers in the
country. Fond of company and
OF good cheer. as he is. he yet
works like beaver and get through
with an enormous amount of busi-
ness. During his survice in the
senate he demonstrated talent for
handling public affairs second TO
that of no man who served with
him. Whether at the committee
table, or on his feet in the senate
chamber participating in debate,
he always impressed his hearers
as a man who had something of i'm
portanoe to say, and who knew how
to say ii. His personal popularity
was by no means confined to his
own side of the chamber.
The Washington public may be
pardoned for taking a selfish view
of a matter like this. 1t adds to
the local interest in congressional
business to find it in the hands OF
men some OF whom are SNOWY as
well as substantial. The day OF
the orator has BY no means passed
in congress. Mr. Reed, when
speaker, limited his opportunities
in the house. but did not seriously
cripple him He came out strong
on many occasions even then. In
the senate he has always had, and
still has, and is likely to retain, full
swing The senate, indeed, is the
political orators paradise. The
rules huinor him, the audience in
spires him. and his triumph, if he
is in good fettle, is certain.
There was never a day in recent
history when Mr.. Wolcott would
not have been a welcome addition
to the list Of the senate's orators.
Neither Mr.. ingalls, nor Mr.. Vest
commanded the senate's attention
more completely. or compelled its
admiration more easily, than did
Mr.. Woicott. His running FIRE
was most cieveriy delivered, and
his set speeches gave the pleasure
proceeding from careful prepara-
ton and an apt use Of the best lit
|erzry form- To repeat, therefore,
it b good to hear that 50 attractive
a man seems headed again this way.
The senate is distinctly the field
for the exercise Of his superior
giffs.-Washington Evening Star.
