Every time the Central railroad
builds a station at Bayway somebody
steals it and the railroad is forced to
build another. Now, if somebody
would only be kind enough to steal
the station in this city We might be
able to get a new one once in a while.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

. ANCNhAh ~
Senator Mckee, of Passaic, realizes
| the necessity of early and energetic
| action to get his bill abolishing the
Board of Arbitration through the
senate, where the bill now hangs
| fire. The stir made in the senate by
the charges against two senators
should not be permitted to interfere
with the efforts for the passage OF
this bill.
! 1t is conceded on all sides and by
everybody, even including the arbi-
tration commissioners themselves,
that the board is utterly useless, and
has no excuse for existence. In any
debate on the bill in the Legislature
there is not a single member who
would have the hardihood to say 9th
erwise.
Continued existence of this board
means an annual appropriation OF
Sc 200 out of the public treasury. In
failing to abolish the board the leg
islature would therefore, virtually
authorize a gross misrepresentation
of the money of the state to private
individuals without a bit of consid-
Grafton, and against universal pro
test.
So far the record of the legislature
of 1906 is one to be proud of. II has
settled the railroad tax question on
popular lines, restricted public util-
ity franchises, substituted the cleo
trio chair for the gallows, smashed
the Norris canal job and ordered the
proceedings to test the legal rights
of the canal lesSees. and accomplish
ed other meritorious things. But the
legislature, with a full knowledge of
the facts, cannot afford the blemish
on it's record of an i~neXcusable fail
ure to relieve the state treasury Of
the leech that is fastened upon it.

Third Rail Will Come un

Atlantic City, Sept. 25--The third
rail was ordered torn up by City Ooun-
Gil tonight. Councilman William
Riddle had resolution adopted,
which directed the Mayor to take such
legal and physical steps as is necessary
to remove the deadly rail, and sub
stitute. it is understood, the overhead
trolley.
Mayor Stoy was present and smiled
as he heard his orders, as the contract
is of huge proportions, because the
resolution also directs that the opera
tions of the cars be stopped until the
resolution be complied with.
The contract for paving Atlantic
Avenue was finally passed and given
to Warren Brothert, to pave it with
bitulithic.' Unless the contract is tied
up in court. the paving will begin
within sixty days.

NAV Build Big Plant Soon.

1t is quite likely that new plant
will soon arise upon Grove street,
near Henry.
1t Is learned that Henry @. Hettin.
ger, the manufacturer of gasoline en-.
gines, is very much cramped for room
in the Water street plant. and there is
no opportunity there to expand to any
considerable extent. For some time
plans have been under way to move
the plant elsewhere, and it is said
Grove and Henry streets has been de-.
oided upon as the location. The site
has some advantage, among them be-.
ing the close proximity to the river,
and much of the business of the con.
Germ is done with boats. When new
and larger plant is fully equipped
more people will be employed and the
concern will be of more Importance to
the community.

CITY PRIMARIES
PASSED QUIETLY.

AS lar as the city Is concerned, the
primaries Tuesday were very quiet,
and the voting showed about one-half
of the Republicans were at the polls.
The particularly interesting and
active contest was for delegates to the
Assembly, the opposing candidates be-
ing former Senator I. T. Nichols and
Albert R. McAllister, the well known
lawyer. The latter entered the con-
test late, but made an excellent show
ing, having very considerable major
ity of the the voters in the three wards
in which he made contests. The result
was McAllister 10 delegates and
Nichols 8.
In the Fourth and Fifth wards Mr..
Nichols had no opposition. In the
First, Second and Third he was op.
posed and in but one precinct, the
second precinct of the Third ward, did
he win out, he carrying that precinct
by majority of four. 1t is coinci-
dent that there were four anti-NichoIs
votes thrown out, they being First pre-
cinct tickets. Had the McAllister
voters used the proper tickets. the
vote whuld have been tie.
In the First ward McAllister won
by majority of 80 In the First pre-
cinct of the Second ward McAIlister
had majority of 81, and in the
Second precinct, majority of %, a
total OF 76 in the ward.
In the First precinct of the Third
ward, McAllister had majority of
IA, and with 4 majority in the Second
precinct for Nichols, gives McAllister
a majority in the ward of 10.
With the exception of Greenwich
township, which named Nichols dele
gates. all of the townships east of the
Maurice River will be represented by
unpledged delegates, 1t is estimated
bv those who have knowledge of the
situation that Nichols will not have
more than 12 votes in the Convention.
In the First ward there was warm
contest for the Republican nomination
for Council, David L. Trexler winning
over Rev. Isaac Mcdowell by vote
of 1853 to 145.
For Justice of the Peace in the First
ward, the nominees were VIM. III. Nc
Gear, Joseph @. Brooks and George
McHenry.
For the Republican nomination for
Council in the Second ward William
Daniels had 210 votes and Powell
johnson A, going a majority to
Daniels of 166.

dates for Council in the Fourth. In

Chase on Bay for the Elopers,

MilIville N. j., Sept. 81. Going
home from work last night Clarence
Smith was surprised to find all the
doors fastened and no wife in sight
Bursting open window, he entered
and spied on the table note signed
by his wife, which stated that she
had gone for ''little vacation, -
from which she did not expect to re-
turn.
Smith learned that man who, he
claims, is infatuated with his wife left
with her for Bridgeton and boarded a
boat for Delaware Bay. A warrant
was sworn out before Mayor Payne
for the arrest of his rival and an officer
has gone on chase after the clipping
pair. Smith says that the elopement
was the outcome of a fortune teller's
advice to his wife some weeks ago.

New Apprentices at Cumberlan,

A number of the boys employed at
the Cumberland Glass Company's
plant are rejoicing over their good
fortune in getting an opportunity this
year of starting in as apprentices and
learning the glass blowers trade.
Owing to the large number of
journeymen blowers employed by the
Company, 1t is possible for the corpor.
alton to take on more apprentices than
many of the smaller plants. This
gives the Cumberland an opportunity
of rewarding the boys in their employ
by giving them an opportunity to
learn trade. Last season the Gum.
berland started 80 boys as apprentices,
and this year it has been enabled to
start IS more boys in the trade.

Thieves are Still Working.

Last week, George Edwards, who
lives near Friendship Church, was
away from home all day. During his
absence thieves entered the place, took
from drawer $5 bill, carried off a
razor,a new shirt, and evidently being
hungry took some bread, butter and a
dish upon which it had been left.
Going down the railroad the thieves
made themselves comfortable, ate the
bread and left the dish along nearby
fence, this was afterward found by a
neighbor Of Edwards.

'This hour between and Z is dull,

there's a little exceptional activity

coming in fast. thirds of these
are from the pay station at the big

isn't our fault. Only one call at time
can go over a line. Besides, when
the theatre has an attraction that is
running to standing room only, the
box office has its hand full and may
be little slow in answering the tele-
phone. AS far as we are concerned,
calls are put in one otter the other as
fast as is humanity possible with the
service that each theatre in our dis

FLOWERS FOR
JUSTICE TRENCHARD.

Before Supreme Court Justice
Thomas W. Trenohard delivered his
charge to the Grand Jury Tuesday
James J. Reeves, for the mem.
bers of the Bar Association and officers
of the Court, presented the Justice
with magnificent and exquisite bou-
ouet of flowers. In making the pre-
sentation, Mr.. Reeves impressiveIy
said:
Judge Trenchard For the second
time in your Judicial life, you are
called upon to be the recipient of the
hearty congratulations of your friends.
By the recent appointment of your
self to the high Office of Associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court of our
state-a state ever eminent for the ex-
alted character Of it's Judiciary-the
members Of the bar of your native
County, and your many friends
among the laity, feel that they have
been highly honored. Your appoint
ment by our esteemed and honored
Governor was, in itself, a tribute TO
your virtues and capabilities, and may
we'll be SO regarded by you with un-
affected satisfaction.
Full we'll we know that you
enter upon the arduous duties of
your high calling with modest diff
dence, not born of want of self re-.
lance, but Of sincere desire to do
your whole duty without fear or
favor. Full we'll you know, and are
impressed with the conviction that
"the due administration Of Justice is
the firmest pillar of good govern.
ment.'
And now, as members of the bar,
officers Of the Court and as your ad-
miring friends, we bring you this
tribute OF loyal hearts, promising you
our encouragement and our support
and I know you would also have us
add, if ever you should need it-our
forbearance.
And how shall we give you SUBJ
stantial assurance of this?
Before the Revolution, it was the
custom Of the Sheriff to gather to-
gether as many Justices Of the Peace
and Freeholders as he could convent
emily summon, and go to the County
line, once a year, there to meet the
Justice of the Supreme Court as he
came into the county to hold Cir.
cult and Oyer and Terminer, and es.
cort him, on horseback, to his lodging.
We are not called upon to do this in
these later and better days. not even
to employ an automobile, or ride you
on the third rail. But we bring you,
by way Of cordial greeting, as a token
of our well-wishing, this simple bas-
ket of flowers of purity
and fidelity-and pledges of our es-
teem-ever rendering that sthe grass
withereth, and the flower fadeth"-
but the affection Of the heart, like the
word Of the Lord, endureth forever.
Judge Trenchard made very feel.
ing response. He saidsin part: "Mr.
Reeves and members of the Cumber.
land county bar: am much affected
oy the words you have spoken and
these expressions of kindliness you
have given. ALI the years of my man
hood have been spent among you and
the Cumberland county bar has always
been kind to me. For eight years
past | have been associated with you
as Law Judge. and have always leaned
upon this bar for support and aid and
1t has been cordially given.'' He
again expressed his deep appreciation
OF the expressions made,
