C OPTION.

According to reports from Trenton
the local option idea is going to come
up at the next session of the legisla-
ture. Local option means that every
town shall have the right to say
whether intoxicating liquors shall be
sold within it's limits. This is the
right idea and it should prevail.
No community, where a majority
of the citizens do not want saloons
and hotels, should be forced to have
them By a clique of influential poll
ticians. This is a country which is
supposed to be ruled by the majority
and no mans influence should be all
lowed to stand above the will of the
people. Local option is a fair propo-
sition. The people are entitled to 1t.
A decided ornament to the city is
the verdict of all who have seen the
new statue in City Hall Park. The
city and the Scandinavians are to be
congratulated upon the completion of
so important a work. The example
thus set might well be followed by
others. Perth Amboy could be made
a beautiful place even if it is a man
u|facturing city. More regard for
these things and not SO much of the
money getting idea would go a long
ways toward making the place at
tractive.
