EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Boss Rule and Graft.

The anti-graft wave is sweeping
over Ocean county now with a force
that cannot be checked. For two
years and more the tide of popular
sentiment there against corruption
in public affairs has been rising, but
it was restrained for a time by the
desperate efforts of party bosses and
interested contractors. Now, however,
a grand jury has been found that
has done its duty, with the result
that seventeen officials and former
officials, with a contractor, have been
indicted and must stand trial on
charges of ~malfeasance, illegal ac-
ceptance of money, classifying and
wrongly certifying accounts and per
jury. Included in the list of indicted
oficeholders are ten of the fourteen
members of the Ocean county board
| of freeholders and three of the town
ship committee of Lakewood.
There Is evidence that the grating
has been going on for at least nine
years. Both republicans and demo-
Gratis seem to have worked in har-
mony in bleeding the taxpayers at
every opportunity. 1t was only when
there was a split in the machine in
the dominant party in Ocean that a
radical move was made to bring the
offenders to justice. The republican
leaders could not agree upon a di-
vision of the spoils. trouble followed,
and charges were made that could
not be ignored. They we're brought
to the attention of Supreme Court
Justice Hendrickson. who appointed
an expert to investigate the affairs OF
the county. The probing revealed an
astonishing amount Of rottenness-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-05-29

that what they did was for the bene-
fit of those who would live after
them.
And while we are honoring those
who have gone, let us not overlook
the few who yet remain, that which
of late year, has been appropriately
called 1.-THE thin blue line" These
men have lived through a wal that
the people of today might enjoy their
present peace and prosperity. They
answered the nations call in her hour
of distress.
Looking at our present exalted
position among the powers of the
world, 1t is hard to realize the con-
ditions that existed in 1861, but the
graves to be decorated tomorrow,
| and the chin blue line" that will
march to the cemeteries, tell the
story more eloquently than words.
We recall forcibly the address of the
immortal Lincoln, who said at Get
tysburg: I'VE cannot consecrate, we
cannot hallow this ground. The
brave men living and dead, who
far above our power to add or de-
tract. " u q 1t is for us, the living,
rather, to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who
fought here, thus far so nobly adj
vanced."
While the work that was meant
then has been finished and the nation
of and by the people was not allowed
to perish, a great work still remains
-
for us to do. The country goes on
and on. Times and conditions change,
and it is for us, on the morrow, when
we honor these soldiers, to take up
on ourselves the task of UNFOLDING
and carrying forward the nation
which these men saved for us. The
work they accomplished has left a
great work for us to do. Let us &c
at the task with the same spirit OF
patriotism and selfsacrificing devo-
ton that distinguished the heroes OF
'61.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-05-29

much more than had even been ex-
pected. Officials and ex-oficials did
everything in their power to hinder
the work of the expert, but without
avail. Much of the grating was
found to have occurred at a period
that gave the guilty parties the ben
eft of the statute of limitations, but
in numerous instances the crimes
were not outlawed. Some of the
officials and ex-oficials have been
forced to make partial restitution,
but that has not prevented their in
dictment by the grand jury.
Ocean county has been notorious
for the political corruption tolerated
there, but there is now an opportun-
ity for a reform that will make it
one of the ~cleanest counties in the
state. Every one of the indicted men
should be proceeded against with Wig
or, no matter what his political afil-
iations. There should be no persecu-
ton because of party factionalism,
but the cases should be tried strictly
on their merits. When this has been
done, the people of Ocean will know
absolutely just how much they have
paid for their blind following of party
bosses in the past. There is no u
ty in the state where boss rule has
been more absolute, as witness the
return to the senate two years ago of
George l.. Shinn, and the retention
in power of members of the board of
freeholders who had been discredit-
ed and who have now been indicted.
There are other counties in the state,
however, which have suffered even
more than Ocean from the govern
ment forced upon them by the bosses.
They will watch the process of cleans
ing in Ocean with the hope that it
will be followed by similar action
within their borders Press.

Co-Operative Insurance.

The raise in insurance in the
including Asbury Park, suggests
again a cooperative local insurance
company, the formation of which is
earnestly to be desired. Insurance
rates, as a result of disastrous con-
flagrations in large cities like San
Francisco, are made to ascend in
comparatively safe districts on the
same scale as in the more exposed
populous districts where costly dis
asters may reasonably be expected.
While the insurance companies
may be justified from their stand
point in attempting to recoup from
recent losses by increased rates
throughout he country, small com
munities like Asbury Park should no.
be subjected to the same high rate
as prevail in the larger cities, where
the general confiagration hazard ha'
been proven to be great.
1t is a question if the time is no
opportune for the organization of {
local cooperative insurance fund.
Such a fund, we believe, could j
made to properly safeguard and b?
come an absolutely safe insurance.
We suggest, therefore, in view o
the recent advance of rates, that tn
city merchants and business men holc

TUESDAY, MAY 20.
Tomorrow being a holiday, the
EVENING NEWS will not be pub
lished.
A NEW

The country pauses, tomorrow. in
its onward rush to pay its respect to
the heroic dead, the departed soldiers
who fought and died that this nation
might live. 1t is a privilege as well
as a duty for us to do this and 40
honor Is too great for the brave men
who still remain.
The story of the Civil War, as it
has peer presented to us by the sur
vivors, the historian and the novelist,
is an inspiration to the younger gen.
Grafton. 1t cannot be heard or read
without a thrill of patriotism and an
increasing love of country. No more
worthy cause ever existed and no
greater war was ever fought than the
struggle between the north and the
south. 1t was to decide whether o
nation of the people, by the people
and for the people, should perish
from the earth. Had the south left
the union, the name United States
would become a farce, for should any
state then feel that it had a griev-
ance against the others, it would sim
ply secede and become a little repub-
lie of its own, making this continent
similar tor South America, a mass of
little nations
The fact that slavery existed in the
south before the war and did not ex-
list after the struggle has led to the
popular impression that the contest
vas to set nthe negroes free. While
the wiping out of such a stain upon
Americas fair name would have been
a sufficient reason for battle, If 1t
could not be abolished without it,
yet it was for the very life of the ma
tion itself that the boys in blue
fought and it is due to their valor
and patriotism, their willingness to
give their life for the flag that we, in
this the beginning of the twentieth
century, a look proudly at "Old
Glory" and realize that she is the
emblem of a world power whose in
fiuence is felt around the globe,
whose word controls the balance of
power in Europe. and whose friend
ship is sought by every nation.
Let us pause, then, and reflect up

New Brunswick Times:

New Brunswick Times:
Our distinguished prisoners, tn
Honorable John Glatt and His Ex
c~ellency Albert May, are receiving ev
cry consideration at the Jail. Thirt
days in the county Jail sounds e
serious when it is Numbered forth b
the judge on the bench. But it Is no
so bad an experience when rooms ar
given in the witness quarters insteat
of with the common herd in the jai
proper. And with meals from thu
sheriff's table at the expense, perhaps
of some of the old time patrons o
the Dear Old Tivoli, with letters ev
cry day, visitors at frequent inter
walls and every other convenience tina
loving consideration can devise, thu
sentence loses the aspects of punish
ment and begins to resemble a holi
day spent at an old fashioned hote
where the accommodations are not o
the best but where the hospitality 0
the proprietor and the evident desir'
of every attendant to make the sta
as pleasant as possible go far to max
up for minor discomforts.
1t would certainly be a shame TO
either Glatt or May to cherish an
grudge against their one-time pat
rons. 1t wasn't their fault and the
seem to have tried so hard to max
reparation. 1t would be rank ingrat
itude for our distinguished guest
and dive keepers to do any peach
ing after they finish their sentence
