APPROACH Ids UP
LINK IN ROAD SYSTEM
Connection Between New York and
Atlantic City Depends on Am
boy Bridge.
Special to tho EVENING NEWS:

Special to the EVENING NEWS;
TRENTON, Jan. S:-According to
intimations received from the State
Road Department the delay of Perth
Amboy in completing it's portion of
the approach to the Perth Amboy
bridge across Raritan river is chief
ly responsible for the fact that there
is not already under way macadam
road from South Amboy that would
complete the chain of good roads
from New York city to Atlantic City
The State Road Department has re-
ceived applications for the construc-
tion of macadam road from Cheese
quake creek to Keyport, a distance
of about 4 miles, but it is understood
the matter has been held in allegiance
because it was considered useless to
eXpend money for the road when the
road would be practically useless ow-
ing to the lack of a crossing to the
north side of the Raritan.
The plans for the road have been
considered, and instead of following
the route through the hole in the
wall" in South Amboy it is proposed
to turn one block further north and
cross the tracks of the Pennsylvania
railroad by an overhead bridge. Al
Keyport the road would connect with
the shore macadam road 20 Long
Branch and other coast resorts, OK
tending . Point Pleasant From
Point Pleasant improved roads all
ready extend to Lakewood and from
Lakewood practically the whole dis
tance to Atlantic City is covered with
macadam highways.

Republicans In the House VIII or
ganize their Congressional committee
in a short time and the indications are
that either Representative Sherman OF
New York or Representative Tawney OF
Minnesota will be selected as chairman.
The chances incline to the election of
sherman, who could undoubtedly have
the Craftsmanship without struggle if
he were to come out and say he wished
il. The New York man, however. does
not want the position. but he has in
dicated that if elected he will take il.
The talk of Representative Babcock's
being elected for another term hs head
of the committee has been put TO rest
finally by Mr.. Babcock, who says he
has finally decided not TO take the Of

While Mr.. Babcock ascribes the con-

is said the President does not want

Both Experienced Politicians
Both Mr.. Sherman and Mr.. Tawney
are experienced politicians. Mr.. Sher-
man has long been closely identified
with the work of the Congressional
committee. Mr.. Tawney in the last
Presidential campaign was in charge of
the Western speakers bureau for the
Republican national committee. with
headquarters in Chicago.
II IS conceded that the chairman this
year will not have an easy task. He
will, in the first place, be embarrassed
in getting campaign funds and he viii
in all probability be unable. however
good his work may be, from preventing
the Democrats from regalntng ground

an artistic manner and was heartily

Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford. of
the Supreme Court OF the District. made
the address OF the evening on Whittier.
the Poet Laureate of Freedom" The
remarks were enthusiastically received.
Mr.. Stafford said, IN part:
Whittier Well Known.
Il suppose Whittier was the best.
known man OF letters we had. He
wrote upon subjects OF common inter
est, and he wrote in a style which
everybody could comprehend and appre-
ciate.
There was much in the mere form of
his verse to make it popular. His
poems are all cast in the simplest meas
ures where the ear knows just when 10
expect the accent and the rhyme. and
Is never disappointed or confused.
Then, again, his language was popu-
lar He always chose the sweet, strong.
familiar words we have known from
our cradles
The speaker said learned men had
often spoken pityingly of Whittier
early disadvantaG GesP' but that hs
had never been able 20 find out what
they were. 1t was ccntended that his
surroundings were exactly what was
needed 10 make him the poet of the
people, and that il was more than
doubtful whether Harvard would have
improved him.
But any account OF Whittier, how
ever brief, that failed 10 pause at his
religious verse might better have been

there. He is rot the poet Of oId-world
culture and memories; there Longfel-
low was easily his master. He was
not the poet of mysticism; Emerson
was there before him. and will keep
his throne long after he is gone He
is not the poet of versatile gift, Of man
ifold achievement he was narrow beside
Lowell But he was the poet Of human
freedom in a sense in which they never
were, with force and fire none of
them could ever hope to match.
Whittier was a voice that cried 10
slLggard conscience. sleep no more'-a
cry that split the ears Of a coward and
time-serving church, an Indignation that
wrapped his frail body like a fame.
and gave his puny arm tho strength OF
His who scourged the money changers
from His Fathers house. Whittier
will live forever as the poet OF the
anti-slavery conflict"
