Judging from the pay roll of the
water department as it appears with
the new employees on it, it is evident
the commissioners are trying to use
up the surplus proceeds of the de-
partment which is supposed to go
toward paying off the bonds of the
department when they mature.

ferryboat to Staten Island be detain-
ed until he arrived. He at once
placed the owner of the machine I'M
der arrest. The fellow offered all
sorts of inducements to be allowed
to proceed, but he was forced to go
to the city hall where he was fined
$40 which he paid from a big roll of
money. He caught the next boat to
Staten Island and doubtless went
all the faster, in the run across the
island, to make up for the delay,
grieving more over the loss of time
than the $40.
What do we learn from this? In
the first place, there is the disrespect
for the law. Secondly, it is absolute
ly useless to fine a millionaire $40
for speeding his automobile. Time
is his main object and the fellow
would probably have paid $50 if he

when they pass through here. All
the soaking he can do, under the
present law, will have no more effect
on these autoists than water on a
ducks back. 1t is only to be regret
ted that more of them cannot be
caught. The way the speed limit is
violated in this city is an outrage. A
fine of SO is nothing. Ten hours in
the city lookup would be far more
effective, if the law would permit it.
Then, if a few of the scorchers were
given that dose they would have a
wholesome respect for Perth Amboy
and the women and children might
be able to cross a street without fear
of being hurled into eternity.

A WORTHY SOUTH JERSEYMAN.

says:

fancies Judge Joseph H. Gaskill that
it wants President Roosevelt to as
sign him to the diplomatic service.

Governor Stokes, VINO Is believed to
have either Judge Gaskill or Pros
ecutor J. Hampton Fithian of Cum
berland on his list to fill the first "a
cancy that may come along among
the Justices of the Supreme Court"
Whether in the diplomatic service
or on the supreme court bench,
Judge Gaskill would be a credit to
his state and country. South Jersey
has not a more worthy man for any
vacancy anywhere that may occur.
1t would be in accord with the sound
judgment already displayed by Gov
ernor Stokes if he has Judge Gaskill
on his list for the next appointment
to any of the higher courts.

A TALK TO BOYS.

81 have been on the bench
fourteen years and during that
time thousands Of boys have
been brought before me, but not
one of them was q constant at.
tendant at church or Sunday
school or obedient to his father
or mother. | have inquired of
many boys what caused them to
get into trouble and have found
that most instances staying away
from home and school, playing
pool, hanging around saloons
and cigarette smoking was re-
sponsible.
"Start right, boys. To be
anybody, to accomplish anything
for yourself or the community,
you cannot be idle. Don't drink
liquor-it destroys the mind and
body. Don't swoar-gentIemen
do not. Don't read trashy litera-
ture--it leads to evil. Don't
hang around aloons-gentemen
are not made that way, When
ever you see man lying around

and will get him sooner or later.
