AGREE ON MEAT INSPECTION.

Get Together.

& yet IOSStners
Washington, June 2O.-A complete
agreement between President Roose-
velt and the house committee on agri-
culture on the meat inspection legis-
lation has been reached.
1t will authorize an annual appro-
priation of $3,000,000 to pay the cost
of inspection and will contain no pro-
vision for the levying Of an assess
ment to make up the deficiency in the
amount available for this work, as
suggested by Mr.. Cowan, representing
the Texas cattle growers, and later
urged by the president

action meets the suggestion of the
president.
The words Gin the judgment of the
secretary of agriculture suggested

holding up Record as a dangerous

THE HORSE IS DOOMED

BY JOHN FARsON, S, of chcaao, president American Automobile Association
~HERE is always a special reason for automobile accidents.
When some fool is running his machine what else is to be ex

Just a lot of clans. An automobile is much easier to control than a
horse and ten times safer for everybody on the streets.
Ten years from now there will be nothing but motor vehicles on
the streets of Chicago. THE HORSES HAVE GOT TO GET

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Senator Dryden's "Other Plans.'f
The letter of Senator Dryden to
George l.. Record declining to accept
the latter's invitation to engage in a
series of joint debates is an enlight-
ening document, though brief. After
reading the corporation counsel of
Jersey City a lesson on the ethics of
letter writing, the senator simply de-
clares that he will not consent to a
Joint campaign, as he has other plans,
after his duties during the present
session Of congress have been per-
formed, for presenting to the people
of New Jersey his views upon issues,
national in their character, such as
would be likely to come before a
United States senator for his official
action" In other words, Senator Dry
den lets it be known that he proposes
to eliminate from his campaign every
local issue, every issue that has been
raised in this state in the past year,
and confine himself exclusively to
questions national in their charac-
ter" Just what those questions are,
in the estimation of Mr.. Dryden, may
be judged from the outgivings of the
Irregular" leaders in Washington and
of the supporters of Mr.. Dryden's am
bition for reelection at home.

organization at Washington IS al

THE COAL BIDS.

The coal bids submitted to the
Board of Education prove without a
doubt that the coal dealers are still
in a combine and have fixed up the
figures between them so as to get as
much as possible out of the city.
Perth Amboy is made to suffer by
her W citizens. When teachers
are greatly u~nderpaid, and while chill
dren are running the streets for want
Of school room, a body of men, APP
parently, have met and planned to
secure a big slice of the school funds
for themselves.
Look at the facts. Coal is retailed
by the single ton at Sc. rs in sum-
mel and Sc. SO in winter, yet here is
a bid for coal in a quantity of 800
tons and the figure is still $6.2 5.
Surely the taxpayers are up against
it.
People complain because rates are
high, but what can be expected in the
light of such figures by III own
citizens?

MARKET AND PUBLIC SCALES.

Perth Amboy needs a market and
a public scales. Every city of any
size has these and they are a ne
cessity. A certain street should be
set aside where, during the early
morning hours, especially, truck men
could gather to dispose of their veg
etables and the merchants would
know when and where to find them.
A public market has been agitated
before, but owing to the fact that
comparatively few farmers drive into
this city, the need of such a thing
has not been felt as in many other
places. Some of these days the bridge
across the Raritan river is going to
be opened and the rich farming coun-
try OF Monmouth county will be with
IN easy reach. Az present u STedl
deal of the garden produce retailed
here comes from commission mer-
chants in New York. The truck is
shipped to that city and then shipped
back here again. We want it fresh.
1t should be carted direct to Perth
Amboy from the farms.
TO encourage such a thing among
the farmers a market should be had,
a public place, where truckmen can
reach the retailers. This matter
Ashould be given the attention due it

Want Green Flag to Wave when They
 win-American Wrestler Loses.
 Athens, April 27.-An interna- tional dispute has arisen over the entry of the Irish competitors in the Olympic games. The men from the Green Isle are down on the program as hailing from England. and 1t was understood that the points they made would count for Great Britain. This was the cause of the row. Peter O'Connor. an Irish jumper. protested against the action of the Olympic committee. asserting that he. Leahy and Daily had the right to be classed as Irishmen and their points scored accordingly. It is the custom when a man wins to hoist his national flag at the top of the Stadium. OConnor brought a big, green streamer with a gold harp, to be flung to the breeze when the Irishmen were victorious. The case will be decided by the in ternational committee and it will soon be known whether the green emblem or the union jack will fly when a Celt scores.
