DIARY" NOT SO FUNNY
Attempts to Ridicule De-
nounced by Englishmen
and Americans.

LONDON. July 11.-Not only in
the American colony, but in the
best circles of London society, much
adverse comment is heard concern
ing the bad taste of Punch, which
in its current number prints what
it calls Diary Of Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth," in which it holds up to
ridicule the daughter of President
Roosevelt and her husband.
1t IS the custom in the humorous
and satirieal papers in England
when women are ridiculed in print
TO omit names, but in the case Of
the american Princess" Punch has
not even considered this observance
OF the conventionalities necessary.
In this imaginary diary under the
heading THE Longworths' Inde-
pendence Day" Punch says:
Nicholas began the day by read
ing in a firm voice the Declaration
of independence. I said nothing.

Mrs. Schwartz flung defiance at
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
by declaring that she will refuse to
submit TO his questioning and under
the advice of her attorney deiber-

the subpoena served on her. When
the detectives reached the hotel with
a grand jury subpoena, the penalty
for not needing which is explicit,

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Asbury Park Press:
From Trenton it is learned tina
several phases of the fight over tn
liquor question are likely to matur
in the legislature. Temperance foil
are arranging local option bills ant
the Liquor Dealers Protective league
will open an active campaign agains
the druggists and grocers who sci
liquor in small quantities, contrar'
TO the Jaw. Thus the opponents o
the LIQUOR business and its opponent
in New Jersey are practically united
upun the necessity of restricted sale
The controversy, ii is said, is like
" to lead to a lively session, as botl
sides are determined to reap some
benefit from the winters campaign
Local optionists, it is understood, vii
endeavor in their bills to broaden tn
| franchise, while. the liquor dealers
united and determined, with barrel!
of money at their backs, will seek t.
break down every barrier TO the
legalized sale of spirituous liquors
in any part of the state. 1t is even
limited that the association will be
asked to use its powerful influence
in behalf of the Asbury Park hote
proprietors and that its contention
before the Legislature will be marked
by a spirit of compromise with thu
temperance party on the basis o
strict r%egulative statutes and a close.
inspection of saloons and dispensing
places throughout the state.
This association recently adopted
resolutions looking TO the eradihca
ton of low saloons and dives and
is stated that the brewers of tn
state are openly espousing the caus
of so-called respectable saloon me-
who desire to eliminate from the bus
mess dives and brothels that tend T.
bring their business into greater dis
repute than would otherwise be tn
case.
Altogether the liquor fight in tn
legislature this winter promises TO b
unusually exciting and the outcom
will be looked forward TO by all class
es with intense interest.

WORK FOR THE NEW YEAR.

To the first regular meeting OF
the Board of Aldermen the citizens
look forward with interest. what
will it do? What new policies will
he announced? What is the partlcu-
lar work laid out for the coming
wear? The board will meet tonight
and it is possible some of these ques-
lions may be answered.
Last year the board started with a
blare of trumpets and much enthusi-
asm. We are pleased to say that
most of the work mapped out has
been accomplished and the enthus-
iasm has not been allowed TO dimin-
ish. The past year has been one of
progress for Perth Amboy and there
is every reason to believe the coming
one will be even more so.
Two of the things placed on the
program for 1905 were not accom-
plished, however, These were the
revised city ordinances and the new
city charter. The latter idea was
gone into TO some extent and 1t was
decided that to go to the expense of
having a new charter drawn up
would be a waste of money. 1t was
pointed out that with every session
of the legislature e laws affecting
municipal government are passed and
n new charter would soon become as
useless as the present one. While
there is reason in this, there are so
many Objectionable features in the
charter now governing the city that
we still believe a new charter would
be a big benefit and should be had.
AS 10 the revised city ordinances
ii is one of the greatest needs of the
city. 1t is safe to. say there is not
person in Perth Amboy. or anywhere
else, who knows or can, without
much time and expense, learn wha'
the city ordinances are. Ordinances
have been passed ana filed away, ad
ministrations have changed, the
books have not been disturbed, othel
ordinances on the same subjects have
been passed and so on, until at pres
ent there is one grand confusion
These should be carefully revised mt
published. What ever else the Boart
tof Aldermen starts out to do thi
year, it should take a fresh start OIL
This matter and have a commendabl
volume of ordinances to show mex
year.
