Rev. Edward f. Green, OF Cor.
wallis, Oregon, has this to say of
the effect of recent temperance eff.
fort and legislation in that state:
I'VE are again enjoying the quiet
+. andtheprosperity Of the dry county.
Benton county having voted the
second time and for the next
two years for what, in this part OF
the world, is termed ''drouth."
Two years ago, when the county
went dry for the first time, the
prophets of evil said that if Benton
county voted local option, grass
would grow in the streets of this
city; that business would 90 else
where, and that everything in gem
eral would 80 to the "bow.wows,"
The facts are just the reverse, and
there is greater prosperity to-day
than the city has enjoyed in a de.
cade. Instead of taxation being
increased, as was predicted, to make
up the loss from no licenses, taxes
have decreased wonderfully They
are $4,000 a year less than under
the liquor regime. The money
order department of our city post
office shows that it did as much
business in three months as the
post office al Albany which claims
to be nearly twice as large as ours.
Corvallis built twice as many
houses last year as Albany, ana
Albany seeing what vas going on
here, decided to try local option
for itself. Their whole county
went dry, as did seven other coun-
ties of the state.
Benton county, however, was the
pioneer, and the Congregational
church OF Corvallis was leader Of
the temperance forces in Benton
county. 1t led in the first strug-
gle that gave US victory two years
ago, and it led in the last struggle
that maintained this refreshing
drouth.'
Said Governor Folk of Missouri:
There may be as much patroiot-
ism in giving ones time to the bet
terment of civic conditions and the
election of good men to office and
in purifying the ballot as in bar
ing ones breast to the bullets of an
enemy.
There never was a time when
the need for patriotic men in pub
lie affairs was greater than now.
We need more men actuated
alone by the public good and fewer
of those who are in politics merely
for revenue.
The strength of the lawless ele'
ment is great, but it is as nothing
when it comes in contact with a
public conscience thoroughly arous-
ed.
The people can overthrow civic
evil whenever they want to and get
just as good government as they
desire, or as bad as they permit il
to become.

South PIainfie|d Voters to Register
Protest at Mass Meeting Next Week.

SOUTH PLAINFIELD, May 12.-
The revolt against bossism and ma
chine domination which has spread
over Union county, is now extending
beyond it's borders, South Plainfield
being the latest municipality to join
the new idea movement The voters
here almost to a man are aroused
over the alleged perfidy of the Mid
dlesex county bosses in having the
borough bill deposited on the "back
stairs at the state house.
The indignation occasioned by the
action of the assemblymen from Mid
dlesex in allowing the much-mooted
bill to die natural death in commit
tee by the adjournment of the legis-
lature has led the voters to decide on
protective organization, Already a
call has been issued for a mass meet
ing. 1t will be held in Washington
hall Tuesday night and the promoters
say that ringing speeches will be
made against taxation without rep
resentation," and boss domination. +"

The new organization will be
known as the South Plainfield Good
Government Club. 1t is said to be
probable that the organization will
come out flat-footed for the Colby
movement The men in the move
ment charge that the turning down
of their bill to have the village incor-
porated as borough was due to the
bosses and they are thirsting for re-
venge.
Long before the legislature con-
vened, the citizens of the place got
together and appointed committee
to attend to the Incorporation of the
community. A bill was drawn and
placed with the Middlesex delegation.
Hearings were held at Trenton, resi-
dents of other sections of Piscataway
township protesting against the bill.
The South Plainfielders claim that
they represent one-third of the in
habitants and pay one-third of all the
taxes in the township. On the other
hand they allege that they get moth
ing in return.

SOUTH AMBOY
MEN FINED.
Accused Of DisOrderIy Conduct
at Central Station Made
An Example Of Them.

Recorder Pickersgill made an ex-
ample this morning of two South
Amboy men arraigned before him
for disorderly actions at the Central

scene of too many actions of the sort
involving the use of foul language.
Howard White, the station agent, APP
peared against the prisoners, who
were arrested last night by Patrol
man Quinlan. They said they were
Mic Olsen and Ed Olsen, of Stevens
avenue, South Amboy, and they en-
tered no denial to the allegations
that both were drunk and that the
latter used foul language. He was
fined $40, with the alternative OF
two months in Jail, and Mic Olsen
was fined s10t Ed had $40 with
which he paid Mics fine, and Mic

BRIDGE SOON
Be OPENED.
Expected That All The Work Be
Completed Within a Few Days
Nov Walking Across.

The work on the trestle work OF
the new Raritan river bridge across
the Central railroad tracks is getting
along nicely. Last night the new
spans arrived and this morning the
work of putting them in position was
started.
When the NEWS reporter visited
the scene this morning one of the
spans had been placed and work on
the other had been started. 1t will
take a few days to get them riveted
and in condition, but if the present
good work keeps up the inspector
hopes that the job will be finished
within a week.
At the present time the bridge is
finished with the exception of the
trestle. work and, with this well un-
der way it will be but a few days be-
fore the bridge can be opened for
traffic.
The work has so far advanced now
that crowds of people working in the
factories, who each night were COM
PEELED to walk to the Central depot
and wait for a train to South Amboy
now walk across and they say that it
not only saves them money, but also
time.

FREEHOLDERS
ANTICIPATED.
Take It For Granted That State
Will Raise All The School
Tax Not Sure Yet.

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 12.-
The Board of Freeholders, in plan
ming its budget for the coming year,
took it for granted that the state
would pay, out of the railroad and
canal taxes, the state school tax this
year. The amount apportioned to
MiddleseX county is $6S,000. No pro-
vision for raising this by direct taxa
tion has been made in the new budget
thus far, and if it develops that the
state will not SO employ the railroad
and canal taxes the county will be in
an embarrassing position.
This point was raised at the eau
Gus at which the budget was consid-
cred and it was felt that in such an
emergency bonds would be issued to
raise the county's share of the school
tax BY depending upon the state to
pay the $6S,000 of school tax the new
board of freeholders has effected an
apparent reduction of $4,000 in
the budget from the amount last year,
last years amount including the
county's share of the state school tax
John E. Montgomery, one of the
members of the board, said today
that the tax levy had not been finally
approved, but was agreed upon in
tentative way. There had been some
talk, he said, of leaving out the state
school tax, because there was an un-
derstanding that other counties were
doing the same in anticipation Of
having the tax eliminated by increas-
ed returns under the new railroad tax
law.
Final action would not be taken,
Mr.. Montgomery added, until the
county counsel was consulted in re-
gard to this item. Apart from that,
he added, the reduction in the total
levy as compared with last year ag-
gregates $4,000.

lost

more for the fund for cup for the

SIS received by the committee of the
league, raises the total to $71. A
few more contributions and the tro-
ply will be reality before the league
opens it season June 2. The fund
would have doubtless grown more
rapidly had it not been for the San
Il rancisco relief fund and benefits,
which, being in the cause of urgent
charity, took precedence, but now
baseball is the thing.
Rev. J. L. Lancaster and Rev. j.
H. Northrup, upon being informed
on good authority that no factory
league games are played on Sundays,
each contributed $50, with a de-
sire to encourage Saturday baseball.

ARE BUSY AT
R. R. BRIDGE.
Heavy Deposit Of Clay Found al
The Bottom of The River
Causes Delay.

Things are being hustled along at
great rate at the foot of South Sec
ond street, where the new approach
| for the New York and Long Branch
railroad is to be built. Over hun
dred men are now employed at differ
ent jobs.
Because of the great amount of
clay that has been struck in the bot
| tom of the Raritan river, the crew in
charge of the mud digger, which is
used in digging out the space for the
concrete foundation, has found it al
most impossible to make headway.
At first it was necessary to drive long
heavy planks deep into the mud,
pump the water out and then put
men to work in the bottom of the pit
with picks and shovels to dig out the
clay.
A number of clay experts have ex-
amined the clay and declare that 1t
is of the finent fire deposit that has
ever been found around this place.
The clay is so hard and solid that it
is next to impossible to get it out and
| this will cause a great deal of delay.
Two scows have been built on the
edge of the water and engines and
boilers are now being installed in
them. They are to be used in hoist
ing and lifting heavy planks and iron
from one place to another. These
boats are about finished and will be
launched in day or so.
Dozens of small boats and a num-
Der of pile drivers are at work and
from all appearances it looks more
like huge shipyard than the build
ing of a bridge.

TRENTON, May 12.-Professor
Charles ]. Baxter, state superintend-
ent of public instruction, has prepar-
ed and is sending to the public
schools of the state a circular in ref
erence to celebrating May 16, the
formal opening of the Hague peace
conference. Accompanying the cir
cular is the following letter.
81 beg your cooperation in secur-
ing in the New Jersey schools a gen
eral observance of the seventh ami
versary of the formal opening of The
Hague conference. AS this great tri-
bunal Is destined to play a most i'm
portant part in the worlds future
history, it seems important that our
youth know more about it, and be
more in sympathy with its purposes.
To further this object I have prepar-
ed a letter to be read to the school
children of the state, Friday, May 1S,
and am forwarding you liberal sup
ply of copies by express. AS the time
is short, kindly distribute them
among the teachers under your SUI
pervision as promptly as possible. ;"
The circular is addressed to the
pupils, through the teachers, sum-
mary of which follows:
"The peace conference was called
by the present emperor of Russia,
August "a, 1898, to meet at The
Hague under the auspices of the Ne
therlands government. Twenty-six
nations, including all of the leading
powers, sent representatives and this
grand conference, numbering in all
100 delegates, was formally opened
May IS, 1899, the anniversary of the
emperor's birthday. What an impos-
ing gathering it must have been!
Prominent representatives, men of
nearly every nationality, dressed in
their distinctive garbs, met for the
purpose of establishing a worlds
court to which disputes between ma
tions might be referred, and a means
thus provided for avoiding the hor-
rors of war.
Much to the delight of all peace
loving people, and to the surprise of
many, all essential measures were
agreed upon and signed, and April
1, 1901, the agreement entered into
had been ratified by the govern
ments of sufficient number of ma
tions to make high court of human
