Valuable Seed Catalogue.

The 1906 seed catalogue of T. w.
Wood & Sons, just received, is far in
advance of any previous issue. The
value of this publication in giving full
and up-tO-date information in regard
to both vegetable and farm crops for
southern planting cannot be estimated.
The annual issues of this catalogue
have done more to aid in the diversi-
fcation and growing of profitable
crops in the south than any other sim
liar publication of the country. This
catalogue is mailed free to farmers
and gardeners upon request to I. w.
Wood & Sons, Richmond, Va, and

so firmly to the wall that the glIsten.

out through the plaster Robert, who
was seeing this decoration for the

toed into the next room, and then,
flushing with embarrassment, re-
turned to his place at the table.

Work Of R.aI Charity.

A circle Of young women in one
Of the large manufacturing cities has
carried on for several years most
excellent work. They take care OF
the children of poor sick women,
thus relieving them of the obstacle
to stay in the hospital. Many ten
ement house mothers struggle on to
death itself rather than leave their
little helpless ones until forced to.
The young settlement workers, for
such is really the principle of their
scheme, have rented house, and as
many as possible of the temporary
motheSless children are received. The
girls serve in turn as residents, stay
ing three weeks at a time and be-
ing relieved by a system which pre-
vents an entire change at one time
of the seff-constituted guardians. In
the event of the death of the mother
the children are further looked after
until some permanent arrangement
can be made for them.

HIGH LICENSE.

The high license agitation which
started in Jersey City, where the sa-
loon license was jumped to $500, is
taking hold in all sections Of the
state. Newark is the last city to
raise the license to $500. In Plain
field the license is $1,000 and the
following from the Camden Post-Tel-
egram shows that South Jersey will
soon be in line:
"As the Post-Telegram anticipated,
raising the license fee from $3.50 to
$500 in Jersey City resulted in but a
slight diminution of the number of
retail liquor license holders failing
to put in an application for renewal
at the higher fee. Jersey City for
merly received $262,500, and now
gets $494,500 from liquor licenses,
a tidy windfall than ear be wisely
used in improving its sadly neglected
streets. High license is an expert
ment that has proved eminently sat
i~sfactory to the great majority of Jer-
sey City people. Mayor Pagan, who
had the courage to force the raise, is
to be congratulated"
The income to the cities which
have raised the license has been dou-
bled, for few saloons have been forced
out of business. If the saloonkeepers
in these places can stand it, surely
Perth Amboy can. The city could
make good use of the increased in
come. 1t is time the question was
considered here. q

A GOOD

The petition being circulated ask
ing for better train service on the
Central railroad during the afternoon
is along the right line and should be
heartily supported by every citizen.
1t is an outrage that a city of 80, 900
people cannot have a train to New
York over this road between the
hours of 1905 o'clock and 500, and
then, when one does stop, it is the
slowest kind of an accommodation.
For the business the Central rail-
road does in this city, very little is
given in return. 1t is doubtful If
there is another city of the size in the
state which has such poor traffic ar
engagements with the metropolis.
Sign the petition and send it in.
Insist that it be considered promptly.
Other cities generally get what they
want, but the railroad companies
seem to think Perth Amboy is easy
and they only laugh at our requests.
The screeching of whistles on the
night freights is another nuisance
that other places, some much smaller

below full value. The republican ma
chine erred in imagining that railroad
property is Nsed at full value.
The United States census bureau re-
ports that New Jersey railroads are
assessed 50 per cent. of their real, or
commercial, value.
But politicians employed by corpo-
rations to protect their interests are
not prescriptions about matters Of
this sort, SO the deception went, and
the Avis bill resulted.
Now the Avis bill is based on the
assumption that all property through
out the state should be uniformly
assessed. Indeed, so long as the state
is charged with the assessment of one
class of property it is essential that it
should assess all, but while the county
boards ''for the equalization of taxa
ton" appointed by the state are fore
ing local assessors to place the true
valuation on private property, the
states other assessors, known as the
state board of assessors, have made
no move towards making like in
creases in the assessed values of rail-
road property.
For this reason there is a howl
from all over the state against the
new order of things The machine
newspapers argue that the people are
opposed 10 real equal taxation. The
charge is false. The people are quite
as insistent ais v e that all property
shall be assessed for taxes under
general laws and by uniform rules,
according to its true value
'tThe Avis law denies to municipal
tiles that management of their own
affairs to which they are entitled. II
adds "a officers to the list of political
appointments within the gift of the
party in power, and it confers upon
these county boards p~rerogatives that
enable them, if they so desire, to cor
ruptly use their offices for the reward
of their friends and the punishment
of their foes"

drive with their great shelving loads
of truck to the Philadelphia markets.
They spend all night on the road and
reach Philadelphia as the day is
breaking, dispose of the produce and
return, giving the city markets the
fresh vegetables and fruits at small
cost.
With a bridge over the sound, the
short cut across Staten Island would
induce many Monmouth county farm
ers to drive to the New York markets.
Then, too, there are the automo-
biles. The handsome Staten Island
boulevard, which now reaches from
st. George as far south as Annadale,
as already told, is being surveyed all
the way to Tottenville. 1t should not
end there. With a bridge across the
sound to this city and thence across
the Amboy bridge, a great boulevard,
direct from New York to the seaside
resorts, would be completed. Such a
drive could not be surpassed any
where in the country.
There are plenty of arguments why
a bridge should be built across the
sound at this point. The commission
should at least take the matter into
consideration. .SAsN.

"THINK 1T OVER"

Col. Fordyce is not treating his
campaign to down bossism in this
county lightly. He realizes that thou
sands of voters are anxious to shake
of the collar ii they are given the OPP
portunity. No better men live than
those who reside in Middlesex county
and they object to one man dictation.
They can stand leadership; i'm fact,
they insist upon having a leader be-
fore they start, for without a leader
and q thoroughly organized working
force back of him, the strongly en-
frenched ''machine," u by Dory
Strong, cannot be overthrow.
Col. Fordyce and the committee of
the Independent Republican League
have been planning. Plans are now
complete and action has begun. Col.
Fordyce that his entire
time is to be given to the cause from
now until the primaries are held and
the people can expect to see him, hear
him and talk with him often. He
comes to them with II message that is
to take the reins of the government
out OF the hands of the corporations
and the bosses and place them in the
hands of the people.
Hear what he has to say, read his
platform, study his doctrine, ask the
'smachine" what ii has to offer and
then think it over.
