THURSDAY, OCTOBER Is.
MORE FoRCIBLE THAN EVER.

The Newark Advertiser dismisses
the whole agitation over the Amboy
bridge in a name which seems high
ly satisfactory to itself, but it viii
not be so easily put aside by those
who had to put up the money to pay
for the structure. The Advertiser
says:
'Among the irresponsible charges
by opponents of the state government
that were set aloat this year was one
to the effect that a bill passed by the
legislature and signed by the COVER
nor was intended to protect the Mid
dlesex Freeholders on account of their
acts ip<eonnection with the construc-
ton bf a bridge at Perth Amboy. In
,egaJ proceedings at Trenton vester-
daythe bill, as approved by the gov
er1or, was produced, and it contained
THIS Endorsement by the governor:
n This bill was drawn in Accord
T ance with suggestions of Judge Fort,
and was signed by the governor after
receiving an opinion from the attor-
ney general that it did not validate
any wrongful acts on the part of those
connected with the construction Of
the Berth Amboy bridge. 1t validates
the bridge and the bonds, the bonds
having been taken in good faith
'.The charge that the law was
meant to protect wrong-doers passed
unnoticed with other charges of a
similar character. 1t is incidentally
nailed by an official record taken
from the files. But a governor has
something more important to attend
to than the chasing up of every lie
that is set afoat by fakirs at Tren-
ten.
1t is decidedly unusual for the gov
ernor to append such a statement as
is here quoted, to a bill which he
signs, and even if there were moth
ing wrong in connection with the
building of the bridge, the governors
comment would call attention to the
possibility that all was not as it
should be. 1t causes people to ask
questions and should lead to an inves-
LEGATION.
Instead of settling the agitation for
all time it has brought it before the
people more forcibly than ever.
When the governor of the state
signs a bill. which is urged upon him
by a political boss of a county, only
after a~ppending,a paragraph which IS
meant to protect him from approving
any wrong doing. it is time for the
people to sit Up and take notice.
The taxpayers should go deeper
into this matter, and if there are any
wrong-doSs they should be sent to
Jail, where theycbelong.

All told, these additions to plants
already located here mean a phenom-
email growth for this city and will
come near doubling the number of
wage earpers. Perth Amboy's de-
velopment is continually going on and
is of a substantiHl character, but it
does not attract as much attention or
arouse the enthusiasm as the coming
of new industries.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
School for Foreigners.

The results to acrue in years to
come from the school for foreign
children, recently established by the
Easton school board in the Taylor
building will be far-reaching. On
all sides the argument is heard for
| practical means of assisting the new
corners to this country to acquire the
language and customs in order that
they may the sooner become good
citizens. For the school authorities
| to take a hand in this work is direct
| " in line with the work of education
and children who heretofore ran the
| streets, or who were put to work as
| b~ootblacks and bowling alley boys,
| will rear the benefits of schooling
and be fitted to fill positions in in
dustrial establishments when they
reach the proper lhge. Further still
with the youngsters of foreign born
narents speaking English and being
able to read they can hardly fail to
be a help to their elders in mastering
The language of the country in which
thew seek to exc out their future.
| Naturalization courts for the past
few years plainly show the results of
| education among the foreigners in
the slate regions. Italian boys and
men applying for citizenship papers
in very many cases exhibit an excel
lent knowledge of English and not a
few of them are the products of the
schools in their home districts. The
experiment in Easton, just begun,
starts off with promise of success

Speaking of insurance, we take
this opportunity to explain that we
were pleased decidedly by the fact that
the opposing candidate to Mr.. Hearst
did n~otsturn out to be William Tray
ers Jerome. AS between the two
men. had the choice been offered, we
could not have for a moment hesitat-

emnhatically, that Mr.. Jerome is to
comnlete his work as district attor-
nev instead of leaving it unfinished

n was not his duty to yield to excite

low journals, but it was, n IS, his
duty to digest the insurance evidence
with such absolute thoroughness that
he can, in the face of the best lawyers
in America, declare, from a most
thorough mastery of the evidence, by
himself or some very able special
counsel, that every instance in which
moral and legal wrong-doing were
combined has resulted in an enort at

see MI. Jerome's' record at the end
Of his second term undonbteuiy as

ships Alabama and Illinois on the way
TO Newport caused damage so serious
that the battleships will not figure in

The divers Investigations have shown
that injury was done to the hulls be-
low the water line, requiring immedi-
ate attention. II will be necessary
for both the Alabama and Illinois to
leave the fleet, go into drydock and
receice extensive repairs at navy
yard, and the two ships will be sent
either to Brooklyn or TO Charlestown.

Sharp County Teachers Association.

At the close of the last June
Institute, the teachers present
organized themselves into the
Sharp County Teachers Associ-
alton. This association is COM
posed Of all the teachers of Sharp
county; but, so far, the teachers
of Evening Shade and Sidney
and surrounding communities
have done virtually all the work
connected with the association.
They are not to be blamed for
this, as other communities have
furnished practically no attend
ance. This should not be the
case. The teachers of the entire
county should come together once
a quarter to discuss those things
that so nearly concern the tenn
poral and spiritual welfare of
their pupils. Other counties have
we'll attended county teachers
associations, Other professions
have we'll attended associations.
The teachers of Sharp county
can do the same, and they ought
TO do so.
The school directors of the
county are invited to meet with
US on Saturday, March II, as
the program for that day ought
to be Of special interest and value
to them. All others interested
in education are also invited to
attend our meetings.
