this county to his masters.
The corporations serve first their
own ends, and then, if they find it is
not going to injure their interests,
they permit the legislators to do
something for the dear ''pee-pul."
A precious lot these bosses and
corporations care about the people!
They are afraid of the people, but
as long as they can keep them in ig-
of what is really going on,
and keep control of the party machin-
cry, they feel safe.

at last found men who will lead them

Senator Colby and Col. Fordyca

They are telling the people how
their interests are being bartered

They have offered the use of their
experience to lead the way to re-

A CONTRACT.

While the water board is trying to
pay Asbury Fountain $500 an acre
for a lot of swamp land over al
Runyon, the following news item
which tells of the state buying land
at only seventy-five cents an acre, is
interesting. 1t says:
"The New Jersey State Forestry
Commission has purchased 1858
acres of woodland near Tuckerton,
Ocean county, adjoining the forest
reservation already owned by the
state there.
1.-The new tract consists of cedar
swamp and upland. The price rang
EIDE from seventy-five cents an acre
for some of the upland, to $40 an
acre for sections OF the cedar lands.
The average price was about 81 an
acre. The commission has options on
1000 acres more in the vicinity.
which it may purchase"
There is quite a difference between
seventy-five cents an acre and $500
an acre. Think it over, taxpayers.
and fix your W opinion of a NUM-
cipal body would make such a deal,

local citizens had enough interest in
the city's welfare to stop the Run

STATE PRISON TERMS.

Judge Booraem is doing a good
work toward cleaning the county of
crime which has increased rapidly
of late. Former Judge Strong's le-
niency might have been all right in
principle, but the criminals took adj
vantage of 1t and have almost run
wild in this county, knowing that a
fine, with time in which to pay,
would be about all the punishment
they would get.
Things are different now. With
out hesitation state prison sentences
have been imposed where the cases
warranted and those inclined to break
the laws are learning what to expect.
The latest sentence of Judge Boor
aem is that of John McNally and
James Cosgrove. McNally goes to
prison for four years. He is an old
offender, but has been let off and
given many chances to reform, but ne
has never taken any advantage OF
such leniency. Probably he will be

school board and it is condemned by

SCHOOL DOdru ana IL is by
nearly everyone.
School No. 2 needs a heating appa-
ratus and furniture is also necessary.
Bids have been opened upon specifi-
cations which were supposed to state
what the commissioners wanted, yet
instead of awarding these contracts
to the lowest bidders at once, the
board wrangles and quarrels while
week after week goes by.
Cold weather will soon be upon us
and there will be no means of keep
ing the children warm at school. At
best the work of pounding and ham
mering cannot be completed before
school opens. There Is no excuse for
thus annoying the pupils while at
study. The work should have been
started as soon as school closed. The
school board is entirely to blame.
1t is no wonder the people cry for
a change. But are not the people
themselves at fault? The board is
one of their own choosing and if the
people themselves do not choose a
better board 1t is hardly to be ex-
pected of a mayor to do better. He
is to serve the people, and if he finds
that this is the kind of a board the
people pick for themselves he can
not be blamed if he takes it for grant
ed that that is the kind of q board
the people want.
The people should not shift the re-
sponsibility in this manner. There is
already too much concentration in the
government. Let the people have
faith in themselves. They should
take great care in selecting their can
didates and then lend their support
to the best, for, in local affairs, poll
tics should not enter. The best in
terests of the city should come first.
The people have it within their
power to wipe out every evil if they
only will. Let them step forward
and claim their own. Don't vote a
ticket because someone places it in
your hand and says it is all right.
Investigate for yourself and see whe-
Their or not it is all right. Then vote
as your own conscience dictates.
We need a new school board and
the people can give 1t to us.
The water board should be elective.
If it were, it is safe to say some of
the present members would not be
there.
We need reform in the county af-
fairs and in the state legislature,
where the corporations control ev-
erything. The people should unite to
correct these evils. 1t Is entirely
within their power. What we need is
more individual thinking and popular
will, with every mar his own boss,
not following one man blindly and
doing all he commands without a
protest. 1IlT-

SATURDAY, JULY IA.
LET THE PEOPLE ACT.

The disgraceful wrangle in the
school board Thursday night does not
surprise those who are acquainted
with the record of that organization
as at present composed. The history
Of the board has beer almost a con
tinual row among the members and
the schools of the city have suffered
thereby.
The action of the commissioners
has driven many to lose faith in pop
ular election, and, ON every side one
hears the proposition advanced that
the Board of Education should be
taken from the vote of the people
and be appointed by the mayor. When
someone objects to placing so much
power in one man, the question in
variably is: Gould we have a school
board any worse than it is?"
e. This state of affairs should not be.
: AS the NEWS has pointed out, time
and again, the education of the COM
ing generation is of the utmost i'm
portance and il members of the board
can do nothing but wrangle and fight
among themselves they ought to have
enough regard for the city to resign
and let the people have a board which
will accomplish something.
There is n very simple way of
awarding contracts. Draw the speci-
fications SO that they cover every de-
tall so that there is no way for a
contractor to escape responsibility for
the work required, and then award
to the lowest bidder, holding the sue
cessful one to the strict letter of the
specifications.
This is simple enough, but the
members of the school board often
pose as experts in various matters.
They have specifications drawn up,
they open bids and then wrangle
over the awarding of the contracts.
Some want to favor a higher bidder,
because. in their opinion, the higher
bidder has better material to furnish.
Others advance other reasons for do
ing exactly what they have no right
If the board wants the best, and
the specifications are properly drawn,
there is no reason why the lowest
bidder should not furnish as good as
any other. There is no reason why
every contract should not be award
ed as soon as the bids are opened.
1t is because there has been 81
much juggling of those matters thai
the people have lost faith in the
