RIGHT AND WRONG on pm.
From the New York Press']

From II New YORK freSS'J
If to war on political crookedness
constitutes a wrong, then Colby, Rec
ord and Pagan are mistaken in their
notions; If party organizations should
be controlled by corporations, then
these men are cruelty misrepresent-
ing the American idea that the people
should rule; if the municipalities are
not hurt by the absorption of most
of their natural resources in the
hands of the few-to the loss of the
many. then the reformers ought to be
muzzled, for they do not know what
they are talking about. But II the
voters themselves should govern city,
county and state, thus exercising the
power given them Inorganic law;
should choose their own officials and
not cringe to the wiii4of corporation
owned politicians; should lift W
their heads and be the real dictators
in government, so plainly vouchsafed
them in the DeclAration of smdepen-
'dence, then CoIbA Record and lFa-
gan are right, and the political system
in hat state is all wrong and must be
changed!

This is the way the Trenton Times
sizes up the situation in this city re-
garding the coal bids recently open
ed by the Board of Education:
1.-THE Perth Amboy Board of Edu-
cation recently advertised for 600
tons Of coal for the public schools.
The retail price is Sc. 20 for a single
ton, but not an offer was received for
q lower figure. The local dealers
made no allowance for the fact that
they would take no risk, that they
were not Obliged to drum up the
trade, that they could fill the entire
contract during the dull summer
months and at such times as best
suited their convenience. The city
would be justified in prosecuting the
bidders for conspiracy, for it is quite
evident that there is a combination
among the dealers"
1t is all we'll enough to p~atronize
home industry and home dealers, but
when such men show no more pa
triotism for their city than is here
displayed, they do not deserve to get
the preference. Probably they would
have asked 81 a ton if they were not
afraid of public indignation.
The school board is justified in
asking coal dealers in other places to
bid. If men at home cannot give
their own city a square deal, perhaps
some men can be found outside who
win.

what would a trolley car do? Yet the
county has paid 100000 or there
abouts for the bridge.
Although the bridge is open, the
past history is not to be forgotten,
so soon. Those hearings and the tes-
timony are still fresh in the memory
of those who have lived in this vicin-
ity for the past four years.
Thanks to Boss Strong and his
tool, Senator Jackson, all the irreg-
ularities and doubtful transactions
have been legalized.
OF course, the boss ring will en-
deavor to have the people forget the
past in the aetthst-tae7h ridss>i IS
opened~Yhat is the way all political
rings are run. After all their own
desired objects are accomplished and
the public treasury is bled to the
limit, then the people get something
like what was intended for them. In
their joy in at last getting it they are
supposed to forget the methods en-
ployed during the building period.
1t is just this kind of method that
the Colby followers are trying to
abolish in New Jersey. They will
abolish them if the people will do
their duty at the primaries.
That string of piling with a draw
in the center would have been expen-
sive at $685. 900. Yet 5000, 900 was
spent, Where did the other 100000
go?
Boss Strong had his tool, Senator
Jackson, railroad a bill through the
legislature which prevents the people
nnding OUT Why was Boss Strong
so anxious to have all those trans
actions covered up by this particular
bill, which made them a. legal?
This is for the taxpayers to an
swer, but if they put men of the Col
by and Fordyce stamp in office they
will not have to be asking such ques-
tons.

JUDGE RuNYoN's CHANCES.

(From the Plainfield Courier-News.)
Referring to the probability of
Judge Runyon becoming M of the
reform candidates for member of as
sembly in opposition to the renom-
nation of Assemblyman Perkins, of
Westfield, the Newark News thinks
that a contest between these two
men would be a political event of
prime Importance. AS the News sees
it, Assemblyman Perkins would be
backed by corporate influences of
every description" while his rival for
legislative honors would have moth
ing behind him but the Justice of his
cause and the confidence of the peo-
pie" If the courts uphold the as
sembly district law, passed by the
last legislature, the News predicts
that the P%lainfielder would easily de-
feat the Westfielder, saying in con-
clusion that s'such anaevent would be
a splendid victory for reform and a
richly deserved rebuke to the bosses
and machine"

convinced both the papers mentioned
that reform wills then be given a
knockout blow, andsthat the showing
made by the marching hosts will par
alyze the Colby movement. Wpslie
llaboring under this impression, both
the Post-Telegram and the Courier
have come out simultaneously with
editorials criticizing the Jersey City

marching Baird hosts to what is
t%ranspiring in all parts Of the state.
1t is probably true that several thou
sand men will be found willing to
parade in Philadelphia next week, SO
long as David Baird pays the freight,
but that is no evidence that the reg
ulars" will sweep Camden or South
Jersey without putting forth desper-
ate efforts. The Philadelphia spec
tacle will not have any effect upon
other parts of New Jersey, no matter
how it may impress these two editors
and the party leaders in Camden. In
eleven counties of the state the Colby
movement is now in full swing, the
REGULARS" are alarmed, and effective
plans are being perfected for carry
ing the propaganda of reform to the
other ten counties. The Jersey City
! Journal is aware of these facts, both
from the local conditions in Hudson
county, and from the Investigations 1t
has made in other sections. The
Trenton State Gazette is another of
the regular" organs that has taken
pains to fully INFORM us eauer ol
what is going on and in warning the
organization adherents that they
must be up and doing If they have
any expectation of making a winning
fight. Frank o. Briggs, chairman
of the republican state COMMITTEES,
and his allies, are also among those
who are on the anxious seat, pleading
for an early and continuous cam
paign. Every day that the opening
of aggressive work by the organiza-
ton is deferred gives the Colby sup
porters so much the greater lead.
These are the facts regarding the
political situation in New Jersey,
stated conservatively. The Camden
newspapers will do well to open their
eyes and find out for themselves just
what is transporting.

THE BRIDGE is OPEN.

At last Perth and South Amboy
can reach each other without paying
tribute to a railroad corporation, or
without going twenty-three miles or
so around by New Brunswick. 1t is
hard to believe that the structure is
really in use, but it must be so.
Next will be the trolley franchise.
From all accounts, however, no troll
leys can cross the structure as yet,
for it is not strong enough. After
taking four years to build and spend
inging about $4,000 on it, the
bridge is still unfit for trolley traf-
fc. At least trolley men have SO de-
clared and the fact that no applica-
ton for a franchise has been made
seems to bear out the statement.
We are glad to be able to walk
and drive over, however, and it will
become the duty Of those in charge
to prevent automobiles speeding on
the structure, thereby practically
driving everyone else off.
Probably no autoist will care to
speed, though, for one owner said
Yesterday that the structure shook as
he passed over in his machine.
