TEST FOR TRAlNMENs EYES
Is More Severe Now Than It Was Be-
fore Railways Became So
Numerous.

"Tcsts for effective eycgfeht on all
members of railroad train crews are
much moro severe and frequent than
they wera a few years ago." remarked
a prominent railway official a few days
ago, reports the Columbus Press-Post.
1.-THE reasons for these tests are obvi-
Gus, as the safety CT every moving
train depends mainly upon the clear
ness Of vision of the men having 1t IN
charge. In these tests color blindness
causes the nest trouble, and is a o
slant menace to all trainmen, as the
inability to name correctly the differ
ent coljrs at a glance IS followed by
instant dismissal from the service.
IA peculiar case was brought to light
recently when q conductor en- my roaf
was being put through the test. He
had been running a passenger train sew
eral years, and never met with an &C.
cident. and was deemed one of the best
men ON the road. When the different
colors we're placed before him singly
he called them correctly at a glance.
but when two or more colors were pre-
scented he was wholly unable to tell one
from another. We were sorry for him.
but OF course were forced to let him go.
physicians seem to be unable to dis
cover to Just what cause this affection
Is due. They claim that some persons
are born with 1t. while 1t comes upon
others without warning at any time Of
life, and unless put to the test the vic
tim will never know that he is SO af-
fiicted."

warmly Democratic and no matter what good deeds the Republicans may
do or what bad things the Democrats may accomplish. tits all the same
to the Times, the Democrats are right, regardless, and the Republicans are
wrong. Such is the result of being a party organ. People put little con
fdence in what they seein biased Sheets They read it and then sum lit all
up BY saying, oh, vel, of course, that's a red hot party paper"
However, we do not deny that such political tricks have been played,
and, since the Times has called attention to it, while considering the source,
the people will take the tip and keep their eyes open. If the Republicans
be found out for the investigation has so far advanced that the people have
some sort Of an idea what the final result ought to be and,if there is a report
at all it ought to hit some of the leading Republicans of the county as we'll
as the Democrats. If we remember correctly, some of the Republicans stood
and these Republicans are rraigned with the rest the report can hardly
be called a Republican campaign document The same is true if all are
indicated. On the other hand, if all Democrats are blamed and the Re-
pubicans are whiewashed, the public will know how to take the report and

tits to be regretted that even a shadow of suspicion should creep into
such matter as this. Its something from which politics should be kept
away. 1t is purely a subject between the taxpayers and the men they have

Prof. Smith, the state entomologist, had Mayor Doremus and a party
of Newark health officials out on the Newark meadows Wednesday afternoon
examining the work done there toward mosquito determination. 1t was
found that the meadows, once filed with soughs in which mosquitoes were
bred, were now baked dry and hard with not a sign of mosquito larvae
On the Elizabeth meadows, where diching had not been done, it was neces-
sary to jump from one hummock of grass to another and from time to time
Prof. Smith would dip upa glass of water found in these sloughs, which
was filled with wrigglers which, in few dayswoud be full fedged mosquitoes
The object lesson was plain and the Newark officials admitted the effective
ness of Prof. Smiths mode of exGminatng the mosquitoes. Why not

As the season advances there Isl no let up to the building about the
city. ThHeai is NO doubt but that Perth Amboy is one of the busiest places
in the stateand will doubtless surpass any other city of its size. From
the present outlook this activity all along the line will continue through the
winter, giving work to local mechanics, keeping pay rolls filled and thereby
making business for the merchants brisk. The city is on the crest of pros
perhy. Everyone who comes here finds it altogether an excellent place to
stay.
According to all reports the meat strike in Chicago is still on, but as

fellows who run things was to beat
Bud. and a scheme was soon devised
to bring that about, all right by yot-
ing for l3 persons on one ticket In
the voting Rogers and Finley tied,
and as it was getting late and inter-
est waning, about half the CLUB mem
bers were gone when the tie vote was
taken over.
All except those who were out fol
blood having left, these re-organized
their forces with the result that Mr.
Rogers got three less votes on the Sec
ond ballot than did Mr.. Finley.
In this connection it is worthy q
note that Mr. Rogers has probably
made more republican speeches this
spring than any other man in Vinita.
But he's Independent, and 50 danger
