Some of the leading spirits of the Kings
County Democratic Club have formed an inner
circle exclusive organization known as the
Corned Beef and Cabbage Club. Membership is
limited, and there is said TO be a long waiting
list. Samuel S. Whitehouse. the well known
lawyer. who is being prominently mentioned for
the Democratic nomination for the Supreme
Court bench, is the president of the new or
ganizatlon. AS the deliberations of the club are
secret, little be said of its purposes: but it
is said that every member solemnly pledges him
self to be present each week at a dinner of
corned beef and cabbage. Special attention is
given to this dinner by the club chef and it is
said that the corned beef and cabbage spread be-
fore the club members is far superior to that at
the disposal of ordinary mortals. The corned
beef, done to turn. melts in the mouth and the
aroma from the cabbage is declared by the
members to be far more delicious than that of
the most toothsome morsel prepared by French
cooks. Since the organization OF the club q
surprising number of men has been discovered
who have harbored a sneakng longing for corned
beef and cabbage, but which they have care
fully concealed as being plebeian. 1t is predicted
that the eating of corned beef and cabbage
will have a big boom the result of the efforts
of the club. There is some talk of Offering a
prize for the best essay on the value of corned
beef and cabbage as diet and the gastronomi-
cal delights TO be experienced from its con-
come SO addicted to the habit that they are in
sisting upon having corned beef and cabbage
served at their homes.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Bridgeton Evening News: There
is n thing the opening of school
brings that is full of Significance and
yet it is taken entirely as q matter OF
curse. We refer to the raising of the
A merican flag every day, the foating
of the Stars and Stripes over every
school house.
1t is but a few years ago that this
was brought about and already the
custom is regarded as an established
one almost a part of the school sys-
TEN. The custom causes no special
comment but it is one that reioices
the heart of every patriot and one
that will have a far-reaching effe t
upon the boys and girls in this land
of the free and home of the brave.

Golfers for September 16 under
takes to show how far our ideas and
ideals respecting liberty have been
distorted by saying: Lincoln said
of slavery hat a black woman might
not in some ways be his equal, but
that in the right to eat the food her
own hands had earned she was the
equal of himself, Judge Douglas, or
any man. Economic independence
is the basis of every kind of liberty
that has worth. 1t was over al I'M
Just tax that the colonies went to
war. Uuited States politicians are
now engaged in talking about when
the Filipinos are to have self-gov-
eminent. The Filipinos themselves
are more interested in knowing
when the United States will stop TAX
ing away their power to make a liv-
ing. The Filipinos in 1907 are to
have the right to express their opin-
ions in an assembly, those opinions
to be accepted or rejected by the
American officials as those Americ-
ans may choose; which is nice and
generous and pretty, but not quite
so important as the repeal of laws
which steal food from our poverty
stricken victims to put it into the
distended bellies of domestic trusts.
One liberty with which the Filipinos
can dispense is liberty to starve.

porous manufacturing concern that
has been bidding successfully for
man. more than a score of years is
set DOM as incapable OF bidding by
an expert of very tender years and
who, perhaps, has never put in a bid

welded to the pumps of the trust,
but his explanation of the character
of the pumps was so vague as only
to further bewilder the members of
the Water Board of Perth Amboy,
who concluded to lay the matter
over till the next meeting. AS one
of the Perth Amboy papers suggests,

MTNOT, N. d., Sept. 13.-"When my
lifeless body is found notify my moth
er, Mrs. Catherine Herzig of Girard. o.
The inclosed letter will reveal my iden-
tity and the awful secret of my wretch
ed life. l can endure it no longer"
This note was found by Frank Dyer,
who lives near Hidden Wood, this
county. 1t was written by ore of his
harvest hands. In it the writer. who
signed himself Charles Herzig. says:
"Dear Mr.. Byer-In the early seven
ties Charles Sterling, a supposed tramp,
was tried for the murder of Lizzie
Grombacker, a beautiful young WON
an, residing near Youngstown, in Ma
honing county, O.. He was convicted
on clrcumstantial evidence and was
hanged for the crime in the county Jail
at Youngstown. Charles Sterling was
an innocent man.. | am guilty of the
murder of that young girl"
Dyer and his neighbors have made a
search without success for the body OF
Herzig.
The murder of Lizzie Grombacker
occurred in 1874, and Charles Sterling,
a tramp, was hanged for it in 1871 aft
er two trials. Sterling maintained his
innocence to the end.
The crime caused intense excitement
through Ohio and this part of the coun'
try. Miss Grombacker was about sew
enteen years old. She was beautiful.
Her body was found in the bushes be
tween Youngstown and Poland with a
veil tied tightly around the throat.
Charles Sterling, the tramp who was
hanged for the crime, was convicted
on circumstantial evidence. !

Perth AmbOy's Contribution.

Perth Amboy must raise $62,343
of the county taxes this year and it
is percious little we get in return.
We asked for a bridge and we were
given an obstruction in the river
which is a detriment to our manu-
featuring industries. We came up
with our money just the same and
1t is scattered to the winds. Let us
hopee the new commission will show
some consideration for the taxpayers
when they take charge, if they have
anything to make a showing with.
1t seems the freeholders have been
in the habit of spending all of their
money, and then more besides, before
they get it. To do this bonds have
been issued in anticipation of taxes.
This means that all of this years
funds will be spent before the com
missioners take hold. The freehold
ers + losing no opportunity to
grasp every cent within their reach
before they leave, The only consola-
ton is that 1t will SOON be over.

A local merchant who carries at
the head of his advertisement the
motto, "Patronize Home Trade"
"Spend your money where you earn
it," and similar expressions, as one
of our furniture houses is doing, is
advertising himself and his city at
the same time. This shows a proper
spirit. 1t is talking Perth Amboy
every day.

Camden's Opinion of Expert.

&Perth Amboy's effort to secure a
puma for the Runyon station is at
tractinA more than local interest. The
folIowing\ Interesting paragraph is
taken from\ the editorial columns of
the Camden Courier and shows what
is thought Of Mr.. Vermuele, and in
cidently, the standing of the Camden
Iron Works, one Of the local bidders,
at home.
1.-THE Perth Amboy Water Board
is having an interesting time of it
over the purchase of a pumping en-
CINE. Having received bids from the
prominent builders of the country,
they call in one time g%eologist, C. G.
Vermuele, as an expert, and his re-
port is not only mystifying but
amusing, to such an extent that the
board is still puzzled as to what to
do. The Camden lion Works pump,
which is doing gook service in forty
or more water wosEA the rxpefr re-
ported to be good, ~ it had s,lae

School Facilities.

While our schools are still crowd
ed, 1t Is encouraging to know that
conditions are improving. Accord
ing to the superintendent figures,
there are 1856 pupils to 1901 seats.
This means an overflow of 155 schol-
airs.
Doubtless there are many more
than this who will apply for admis-
sion when there is more room and
then, too. those already sealed are,
in some cases, crowded. With the
completion of the addition No school
No: n, however, j Is possible that
Tsfhe scholars can be so distributed
that all may be seated. If this is ac-
complished it will be an important
event in the history of the city for
it has been several years since we
have been abld to care for our great
~ increasing population in school
ing facilities. 1t is a hard race and
it viii not pc over by a great deal,
when No. l addition is ready. 1t will
then be a svea contest, but, by an
other season, unless some addition
al pi& yision is made in the meantime,
thsf cro@ding win begin again. 1t
Costs money to do this, but in no bet
way can the taxpayers spend their
Amo4ey than in educating the coming
generation. There is not a man but
who wants his children to have a
better education than he had. The
main thing is to have competent men
in the school board t. handle this
most important branch of municipal
4 government.
