EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Sea Girt in the third week of July
presents ideal conditions for n mill

be hot in the middle of the day there
is nearly always an inyigorating sea
breeze and the nights are cool. The

THOUGHT IT WAS. EASY.

Doubtless the Warren Brothers and
their allied friend In this city, who
fought so hard that the Warren
monopoly might have everything its
own way, were greatly surprised that
any other man would have the nerve
to offer n bid along with theirs and
show up their bidding in such a ride
shape. but the city owes o vote Of
thanks to Mr.. DUNCAN for taking the
action no did even when he was
practically sure, beforehand, that he
could o get the contract ms he could
iAadz which spooi-
fications called for.
In the light of events. the table
show ing the prices OF the Wa rem
company for pavement when bidding
alone and VIXEN in competition, which
was published in the News several
days ago. ia particularly interesting.
Mr.. Dunfaan offered to put down q
bitnminous Macadam for 81. 70 per
square yard. The table published in
the News, which was taken from tho
Newark Daily Advertiser, shows That
the Warren company can also pave a
street for that price, too, when in
competition. In Muskegon, Mich,
their bid was 81. SO per square yard /;
IN Port Huron. nMich.. this same War
rem company bid $l.74 per square
yard; in Louisville, KY, their bid
was 81. 90. Surely the Warren com
pany is not working for charity in all
these cities.
Why did they not bid ST. 70 in Perth
Amboy? The question is easy. They
didn't have to. They were not.put-
ting mp that stubborn fight to bar
competition for nothing. It paid
them to walt. others too. perhaps, so
that whom that magic word ''bitu-
lithic' was once inserted in the speci-
iioations the rest was easy. OF course
nothing less than $2.2 8 per square
yard would do, and, who could pre-
vent them? by fighting for several
months it meant SO. ZOO more for
them. The only wonder is WIN GER
tain local people, who profess to have
nothing but the welfare of the city at
heart, would stand by suoh a game
and fight for them SO hard in or der
that the public might be bled.
Not satisfied with getting a clear
fifty cents more on the pavement
alone, this Warren monopoly even
rnshes mp the price on ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and crosswalks, making several more
hundred dollars with no competitor
to hold them down.
Who Is there that can come forth
and say with any degree OF certainty
that the bitulithic material nsed as a
bin1or in a bituminous macadam is
any better than the material others
will use in the construction of the
same kind OF a pavements 1t has not

That the music called classical often
pals while the old familiar melodies
never lose their power 70 charm. was
demonstrated recently in front OF the
Metropolitan Opera House. The Or
chestra rehearsal room is at the Thirty
ninth street corner Of the Broadway
front, and from its opened windows
came the sounds or sratches OF har-
monies that never once took the form
Of what might be called a tune. The
rehearsal went on for an hour, but none
Of The passersby stopped for mo
ment to listen
Suddenly the orchestra struck into
"Auld Lang Syne" and Broadway came
70 halt As long as the well known
air lasted, so long did every one pause
TO listen. until there were couple Of
hundred persons standing on the oppo-
site side Of the street, gazing up at tail
windows out Of which the music was
coming. II came to an end with
forilssimo flourish, the classical music
was resumed and then the crowd
moved on.
There, said a man who had been
looking on, you have an illustration
OF the principle that the appeal to the
heart, whether it be in music, litera-
iure or any Of the othef arts, is always
much more the surer than the appeal
