EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Passaic Daily News:

Passaic Daily News:
One Of the great evils that has
grown up under representative govern
ment is a %corrupting lobby that infests
the halls of legislation. The province
of the corporation lobbyist is to beg.
bulldoze, or steal through the legisla-
tive body some law that will enable
the few to plumber the many The
strongest argument that can be used
for the Referendum and the Initiative
is the fact that in cities and states
that have adopted the Referendum
system, the corrupt lobby can no long.
tiers, who furnish the railroad passes
and much greater Inducements. where
by the representatives of the people
are led to stulify themselves and mis-
represent their constituents.
The Referendum is death to the lob
byist. His nefarious occupation van
ishes, for the peoples veto makes his
work valueless. Yea, more than that,
the fear of the Referendum acts as q
p%reventati We of %corruption and expert
ence shows that it Is therefore un-
necessary to invoke it except, upon
such few occasions, when public opin-
ion is divided and a strong element OF
the electorate demand that a vote be
taken. With the corrupt lobby abol-
ished the representatives of the Deo-
pie are free to take the advice and
assistance of experts on the subject
that legislation is called for and more
perfect laws result. 1t is not too much
to say that with the direct Initiative
aud the optional Referendum system
installed in ever corrupt Pennsyl-
vania. the bad laws would soon be re-
pealed and good ones take their place
as fast as an awakened public de-
manded
Moreover the vast sums spent at the
election TO secure the nomination and
election of Legislators who will favor
legislation that will repay those who
supply the campaign funds, will soon
be abolished, for there will be no re-
turn on the investment. A congress,
q legislature, or a president, or
governor, would be worthless to the
corporations and monopolists when the
people can veto their acts. So honesty
and good government both demand the
Referendum and the Initiative and
the improved representative govern
ment produced thereby.

Or. Haines Withdrawal.

The determination of DR.. e. E.
Haines, of South Amboy, to with
draw from politics is to be regret
ted. The doctor is popular among
all who know him and he readily
makes friends so that his success in
the field he says he is about
to relinquish was assured. The doc
tor is a man of education and abil-
ity and is of the type of people one
likes to see taking an active part in
public affairs.
The practice of medicine, howev-
err, is not an ordinary means Of live
any other profession. A doctor is
looked upon as part OF a family and
is always supposed to be within cal
at any hour during the day or night.
For these reasons. medicine and pol
itics do not mix well and for these
reasons, the people can readily see
that DR.. Haines is justified in the
steps he has taken, although regret
ting it very much.

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 21.
Need Of a Y. N. C. A.

When is Perth Amboy going to
have a Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION and all that goes with it?
Those who do not know the real
meaning of this organization, the
work it does and what it stands for,
do not begin to realize what an adj
vantage 1t is to a city to have an
organization of this kind. To speak
OF a Y. M. G. A. to those who know
1t only in name, the first, and prac-
tically the only thing that occurs
to them, is some religious body which
organizes Bible classes and holds
special mems meetings every Sun
day afternoon.
While the religious feature of a
X. M. C. A. is not to be underestimate
ed it has a work of assisting young
men, which, in a certain sense, is
entirely separate from religion I'M
less the individual chooses to make
it otherwise. or course all work that
tends to assist and uplift young men
Is Christian work and this is just
the kind of a field the Y. M. c. A.
occupies.

Officers were notified and set out at

BOY CHARGED WITH STEALING
BICYCLE
Men Capture Lad After Difficult Chase
and Battle With Truck Driver.
Gets Away In Shadow
Of Station

Two grown men who attempted to
capture lad of 16 years whom they
accuse Of stealing a bicycle, found the
alleged thief a too slippery customer
to deal with, as he was twice in their
custody yesterday afternoon, and when
within a block of the police station
made good his escape.
In the effort to capture the boy, the
men, w. ]. Long OF S01 Pico street and
J. G. Crater of 1868 Figueroa street,
experienced considerable difficulty and
claim they were assaulted by two
drivers of van which they allege be-
longs to the Transcontinental Freight
company, into which the boy jumped
in order to avoid capture.
Three weeks ago a wheel belonging
to Long was stolen from him while
standing on Broadway. Two days
later a young man brought the wheel
into the j. G. Crater bicycle repair
shop and ordered some alterations on
the wheel, saying that he would call
for It within a short time In the
meantime Long, who had been search
ing for his bicycle, found 1t In Cra-
ter's shop and 1t was arranged that
when the lad called for 1t the pro-
prietor was to notify Long and the

as the latter entered the store the
boy made hasty exit.
Driver Assaults Man
The two men Immediately gave
chase and were Joined by Fred Jones
of 1882 Manhattan street. Some dis
tance down the street the fleeing boy
leaped upon a van which the pur-
suers claim belonged to the Transcon-
Crater and Long ordered the drivers
of the van to stop, but the latter re-
fused.
But the three men who were after
the boy continued following the van
and the drivers finally drew up at the
corner of Eleventh and Grand avenue.
The boy was still in the van, as the
rear doors we're locked, and the only
way of egress would have been through
a small opening back of the seat
where the drivers were sitting.
The drivers demonstrated and fight
ensued between Crater and the two
drivers, in which Crater was badly
beaten about the head.
Watching for an opportunity to es-
cape from his temporary prison, the
lad Jumped through the window and
started up the street, but was at once
overtaken by Jones and Crater. The
latter with the boy in their possession
boarded a car and when they alighted
at the corner of First and Broadway
the lad wriggled out of their grasp
and was soon lost in the crowds.
Crater walked to the receiving hos
pital where his wounds were dressed.
Detectives were at once put to work
on the case 1t Is said that charges of
assault will be preferred against the
drivers of the van. An effort will
also be made to locate the escaped
boy, against whom charges Of larceny
will be lodged in case Of his cap

Visalia and this city, has disappeared,
