EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Mosquito Doomed.

Rumson Neck and Monmouth
Beach, it is hoped, will be free from
the mosquito pest after the state en-
tomologist completes the ditching
and hole filing on both sides of the
South Shrewsbury river. From Plea
sure Bay bridge to Little Silver
bridge the work is completed. Several
bad breeding places yer wiped out
by the workers. bitches were also
cut along Fosters creek, north of
Little Silver. 1t was found to be one
of the west sections on the Rumson
Neck side of the Shrewsbury river.
The present condition promises no
mosquitoes from that section.
The meadows. west of the Shrews-
breeding places. They have appar-
emily not been touched, althoughth the
state entomologist has given no com
plete report of his work along the
Shrewsbury branches.
Monmouth Beach and the resorts
on the narrow sand strip north OF
Long Branch are peculiarly suscepti-
BILE to the mosquito pest, to the an
of which the inhabitants are
frequently subjected in the hot sea-
son after a prolonged land breeze. 1t
is encouraging, therefore, to know
that the ditching at Rumson is likely
to prevent a recurrence of the mos
quito pest in that section this sum
mer. If the meadows west of Sea-
bright are also drained the mosquito

The Mount Holly News says:

THE people of New Jersey are go
ing to have a voice in the election of
a United States senator this year, and
South Jersey will do considerable
thinking for itself on the subject"
But the people of South Jersey
owe it to the Colby movement that
they are able to have a say in the
election of a United States senator.

time to devote to other parts Of his
d~eliverance.
Further on he says: Il have other
plans, after my duties during the
present session of cangress have been
performed, for presenting to the peo-
pie of New Jersey my views upon is
sues, national in their character,
such as would be likely to come be-
fore a United States senator for his
official action" rjate
This would seem to mean that the
senator intends to devote his time
during his campaign to national legis=
~lation and that he does not regard
anything else as of any Importance.
National law making is unques-
tionably of great consequence, but
Senator Dryden will find it difficult
to persuade his. constituents. that
there are not other matters involved
in the election of a United States sem
Hator of equal and perhaps greater
f, concern. .
Except in New York. all the United
states senators are not only the state
leaders, but they + generally in the
north the bosses of their party.
TX They control the federal patron
age, with which they CONSTRUCT MAJ
chimes and they dictate to legisla-
lures, county and municipal Office
holders and party conventions. These,
at any rate, have been their functions
in the past.
Some senators seldom visit the SEN
ate chamber. or voteswhen they do,
yet they remain the supreme bosses
1T home.
Therefore the senator will see that
the questionsg at issue in the coming
campaign are not federal alone in
their character, but local, too. What
the people want to hear about mostly
is whether OF not Senator Dryden in
tends to continue his sub-boss system
in each county; whether If he is re-
elected, he intends to restore Lentz
in Essex, for instance.-Hoboken

THE RING IN A PANIC.

1t was expected that the bomb
which the EVENING NEWS exploded
in Boss strong's camp one week ago
today, when it showed up the bridge
deal, would create CONSERVATION
among the machine followers.
IT DID.
The ring newspapers and ring lieu
tenants have been busy ever since ex-
planning and defending their boss.
1t IS really amusing to see the effect
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-06-18


Had the Strong law been adopted
the. first time it was voted for in
Middlesex county, and Perth Amboy's
Influence and votes would have done
it, that bridge would have been con-
strueted in a different manner and
1t would not be the blotch and the
blot that it now is.-Perth Amboy
Chronicle.
George J. Haney, of Perth Amboy,
a republican,, a lieutenant of the
Strong machine, and an office holder
by its favor, was a member of the
old board of freeholders, was chair
man of the Amboy bridge committee
of the old board, the promoter of the
legislation enabling its construction
and the prime mover in every pro-
ceeding, contract and process in con-
nection with its construction. If the
bridge is a blotch and blot as the
Chronicle declares, the responsibility
seems to come pretty close to the adj
herents of the boss Whom the Chron-
icle defends with so much zeal and so
little judgment.
If only democrats were mixed up in
the bridge scandal why has the re-
publican machine worked with such
energy to get through the whitewash-

wick Home News, the boss personal
organ, at first tried to treat the mat
ter lightly, but as the people had time
to thoroughly digest the facts as pre-
scented in the NEWS, and as the
TRUTH BEGAN TO DAWN UPON
THEM, the boss agitation increased.
He gave orders for his press bureau
to get busy and endeavor to CLOUD
THE PEOPLES MINDS AGAIN.
Immediately the Home News be-
gan to shoot off skyrockets by the
wholesale, all in defense of the boss
and his ring.
Here in Perth Amboy, Boss
Strong's little satellite, which repro
duces all that appears in the Home
News, waxed warm in defense Of It's
beloved master. The satellite be-
came so excited by the NEWS expo
sure that 1t used big wood type for
those horrible scare heads, which, a
few weeks ago, it scored as t~ypifying
yellow" journalism. The editorial
columns burned with the boss dicta7
tions, and the telephone wire which
connects the boss with his satellite,
became so hot that 1t was out of or
der for a whole day.
Even the mails were resorted to
and the boss caused to be sent a vasl
pile Of legal documents with strict
orders that they be published at once,
so frantic were his efforts TO ALLAY
THE POPULAR TIDE OF INDIGNA.
TION CAUSED BY THE EXPOSURE
OF HIS METHODS IN THE NEWS.
Thus it continued all the week, the
rear being brought up by our weekly
friend " the river, the South Am
boy Citizen, which appeared Satur-
urday defending its newly found boss
like the obedient servant 1t has be-
come.
The NEWS, while anticipating hot
denials and all kinds of retorts in
reply to its exposure, did not expect
the ring would receive such a Jar.
BUT "DORY" HAS BEEN ABLE
TO RUN THINGS HIS OWN WAY
so QUIETLY ALL ALONG, THAT
TO HAVE HIS MACHINERY THUS
THROWN OPEN TO PUBLIC GAZE
Is NEW TO HIM AND HIS FORCES
BECOME PANIC STRICKEN.
If the first bomb created such con
sternation, what will happen when
they begin to fall thick and fast, as
they will before the primaries are
held.
The exposure OF the bridge deal is
only the start.
The Fordyce movement is going to
tell the taxpayers some of the actual
workings of the ring. The people
will learn things that they do not
now imagine could happen, even I'M
der boss rule.
Mr.. Fordyce says Boss Strong is
the czar of Middlesex and he will
prove 1t.
NOT AN OFFICE OR APPOINT
MENT CAN BE HAD IN THIS COUN-
TY NOW WITHOUT THE APPROX
AL OF BOSS STRONG.
i Petitions, letters and requests from
the people to any of the oficeholders
will have no weight UNLESS BOSS
STRONG o.K.'s THEM.

dyce will prove that it is TREE.
