INDUSTRIAL

Another school year has begun
without any provision being made
here for an industrial department 10
the high school. The need of such a
course is becoming more and more
apparent and the time is not far dis
tant when the matter will have to be
given serious consideration.
This is not the first time an indus
trial II as a part of the public
school system of this city has been
mentioned in these columns. Its re-
quirements are not new to the people
of this city. The industrial course
trains the hands as we'll as the mind,

ing carried on at the same time and

general knowledge of his trade as
well as possessing an education, NEIL
tally to aid him in rapid advance
ment.
1t is merely to repeat what has
been said before to say that in no city
in the state is an Industrial course
in the high school more needed than
in Perth Amboy. This is a manufac-
turing city with a population consist
ing almost entirely of working men.

The Tendency Toward
Too Much legislation
By GEORGE R. PECK of CHICAGO. President American Bar Association
. President American Bar Association

%szAMEs G. CARTER declared that the American people are
afflicted with a passion for legislation amounting almoststo a
disease. 1t is undeniably true that the average mind believes
in the possibility of REMEDYNG EVERY EVIL BY
STATUTORY ENACTMENT. That this idea is a false and danger
Gus one all human experience attests. 1t is a significant, perhaps omi-
nous, evidence of the changes in the popular idea of the Legislative
function that there is a vastly increased range of subjects with which
our statutes now deal. They are becoming largely-too largely, l
think-merely ADMINISTRATIVE AND REGULATIvE, eHab-
fishing rules for the direction and control of business activities, draw
ing lines of separation between that which is and always was perrissi-
Bile and that which shall no longer be SO; establishing boards and COM
missions and providing for a scrutiny which more and more pricssinto
affairs that once were supposed to pertain exclusively 10 The IN
DIVIDUAL primarily interested. ~ i
All this is more or less irritating, for the shrinkage in INDIVID-
UAL LIBERTY involved in it hurts. But til folly to suppose that
modern life can go on with its ever increasing compexty and legs-
lators be silent. When Legislators are considering a subject with which
they may ~rghtfuly deal the temptation is strong upon them to go
farther than il. necessary or proper, but. this is an inffmity of human
nature. In the summary of legislation from year to year there are
many statutes which might well have,been omitted from consideration
bv the legislatures that passed them. OF all the bills introduced in any
legislative body a comparatively small percentage become living enact
ments, and of these few ever really ENTER INTO THE LIFE Of
the community.
lido not close my eyes tothe fact that we cannot have a bewildering4
complexty in all our affairs and at the same time have PERFECTLY
SIMPLICITY in government. But in all this turmoi-the whirl Of
machinery, governmental and mechanical the organization of labor
and of capital, the t~hrobbing of every pulse and the strain of it all to
brain and to nerve-what has become Of the individual man? The%
development of the state and of demonstrations that collectively com
pose it is steadily proceeding, BUT HOW ABOUT THE UNITS s.
The thing that we ought all to work for is to prevent the obitera-
ton of men. En-

legal talent and if they lose in one
court they carry il, to the next, and
so on, the longer it is delayed the
better it suits the corporations.
One of the ridiculous features Ut
the present legal system is that the
supreme court Is not supreme. To
an ordinary layman, an appeal from
a lower court to the supreme court
of the state should be sufficient. It's
decision should be final and there
should be enough judges with sit
tings frequent enough to dispose Of
all cases brought before them within
a reasonable time. At present a case
is carried from the county courts to
the supreme court and then to the
court of errors and appeals, each
court taking a year or more in rem
dering a decision. 1t is cumbersome
and decidedly unsatisfactory. The
time is ripe for a complete reorgani-
cation.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
NATURALIZATION LAW.

The naturalization law enacted by
the recent congress is now in effect,
the operation of the act dating from
yesterday. The new law makes it
much more difficult for one born in
another country to become an Am
erican citizen, but it provides feat
ures which will safeguard the coun-
try from the Objectionable classes.
An applicant for citizenship must
have resided in the United States for
five years, and in the state for one
veal previous to date of application.
He must have a good moral charact-
er, renounce allegiance to his former
country, take oath to support the
constitution, possess a fair knowl-
edge of the manner in which the
country is governed, and satisfy the
Judge that he is fitted for citizenship.
He must be able to write his name
and speak the English language.
Papera must be taken out not less
than fwo years or more than seven
yearsfafter making application.
Certificates must be given by all
immigrants upon lapding in this
cour# Try, certifying the place of birth,
date# OF arrival intended place of res

higher studies in English, mathemat-
les, Latin, Greek and chemistry, do
not appeal to nine-tenths of the PEG
pie here. These are looked p o as
necessities for those who are going to
college, but to the boy who expects to
enter a factory, where, perhaps, his
father is already working, it is held
to be a waste of time to study them.
With an Industrial course it would
be different. Both the parents and
scholar would seeGan opportunity for
the boy or girl to learn a trade that
would be of actual benefit the mo-
:nent he or she started work. While
getting this training at school there
would be other Studies to back it up,
which would give the student a know
ledge that he would not get if he had
gone out in the world to learn his
trade, and he would be fitted to rise
rapidly to the position of foreman or
superintendent.
An industrial course should be es-
tablished in our schools at the earli-
est possible moment. 1t is very nice
for the city to have it said that our
high school graduates can enter
many of the leading colleges diract.
but before any more money is spent
to increase the high school standard
along this line, something should be
done to enable a pupil to enter a
trade with a knowledge of the work
to be done and a training to back
him in his rise in position. For a
city with a population like that of
Perth Amboy this would be accom-
plishing a great deal more than TO
prepare pupils for college. Where one
local student goes to college a humid
red go out into the cold world to
arm a living.
Superintendent Shull is a warm
advocate of the Industrial training
school for Perth Amboy. He has urg-
ed it time and again. 1t is to be hop
ed that his wishes will soon be car
ried out.

SMITH STREET PAVED.

Smith street is at last free of all
distractions and it presents an ex-
cellent appearance. For the past year
or two that section from State street
to the railroad has been one vast
mud hole, with large lakes during
rainy weather varying from six in
ches to two feet in depth. 1t has
done the city untold harm.
All this is now remedied. The prin-
cipal thoroughfare in the city is paw
ed through its entire business sec
ton. The ferry hill Is paved with
brick. Under the direction of Chair
man Stacey, of the street committee,
the two blocks from Water to High
streets has been resurfaced with ma
cadam and put in excellent condition.
From High to State streets the pave
ment is Of asphalt; from State street
to the Central railroad it is wood
block, and beyond that for a consid-
cradle distance it is %macadam, which
iAairman Stacey has also had re-
I'd, so that it presents an ex-
s...ns,: :
onn6 uynp1y onh Tho Whn1A
derive the benefit. The pres
NY administration has been par
ticularly busy with street improve
ments and rapid strides have been
made. The city fathers deserve much
credit for this work. Business will
increase along Smith street and it
will be a pleasure to shop there be-
cause everything is in such good CON
dition.
The next thing is to keep all this
pavement clean. A gang of white
wings will be a necessity in a short
time, in fact, they are needed now.
1t is probable that the street depart
ment, which has shown such thor
oughly up-to-date methods in paw
ing, has already taken this matter
under consideration for next years
budget.

DEFEAT on THE NEW IDEA.

1t is somewhat Improbable to
further speculate upon the causes
which led to the downfall of the Col
byites on Tuesday last. There are
various reasons assigned for it, but
none OF them are so convincing as the
fact that the other side had more
votes.
1t is, however, a staggering ref1ec-
ton that while the Faganites in this
county and the Colbyites il" Essex
county asked nothing but the power
to right undeniable public wrongs,
and that their records were an
est of their sincerity of purpose, they
were repudiated by those whom they
had served and would still honestly
and faithfully serve. e.
If government by the people, In
stead of by bosses were a crime: II to
deprive corporations of the, power to
rob and wrong the peoplerin various
forms were indefensible and, nefar-
ious; if to commit great .public trusts
into the hands of men to be employed
for their own selfish purposes and
against the people were an unwar-
rantable act, then the result of Tues
days primaries was altogether COM
mendable.
But if the reverse of all these
things is true, how is it possible to
reconcile the defeat of men like Fag-
an and Colby with good citizenship?

LOCAL OPTION THE SOLUTION.


The liquor question in politics will
not down. 1t is generally admitted
that the bishops law was one of the
chief causes of the downfall of the
Colby men in Essex county at the re-
cent primary election and the bisil-
ops law is going to play a prominent
part in the coming election.
The Essex county republicans try
to meet the issue In an indirect way,
the platform adopted declaring that
leach community, by it's moral force
and by its selection of officers, should
work out the result that Is best for
it, and we therefore favor such legis-
lation as will place in the hands OF
the local licensing body the power to
regulate and control the licensing and
management of saloons, in order that
the responsibility for their action
may be more Immediately devolved
upon the people of each municipal
ity."
Why not declare for local option
and be done with it? 1t was local
option that the people wanted last
year, but the republican party was
afraid Of it and gave them the bish-
ops law instead. 1t would seem as
if they made a sad mistake.
Local option is very simple. 1t is
merely a ease of home rule. If a ma
jority of the people down in Jones'
vile don't want saloons in the place
at all, what difference does that make
to Perth Amboy OF Newark, as long
the majority here wants saloons
and has them?
Local option is simply a case of
each city, borough and town
ship in the state decide for itself
whether or not it shall have intoxl-
liquors sold within it's bor-
ders. The fight against this is made
by the brewers who fear that there
may be some towns that do not want
saloons and they will lose the sale of
a few kegs of beer. AS long as the
brewers can exercise more influence
with the legislature than the people,
long will this liquor question con-
tinue to bob up to bother the poll
ticians.
With each town deciding the Ii
quor problem for itself this issue
wilf> be removed for all time from
Eate politics. IT a city doesn't want
