When Perth Amboy insists upon
having a new station at the Central
railroad she will have it. All efforts
to secure the improvement hereto
fore have been treated as a huge joke
by the railroad officials. 1t is part
of their amusement to have a com
mittee from a Chamber of Commerce
sit in the outside Office for an hour
awaiting the convenience of some
third rate official and then go away
in disgust. 1t relieves the mono
tony in life. AS soon as the Central
railroad sees that Perth Amboy
means business it will act, but not
until then for the stockholders are
crying for more dividends and they
must be kept quiet.

Senator Depew has not been in his
II sAAs4tasYSJ5
seat at Washington since the Christ
mas holidays. 1t is said he fears he
will be treated cody by his colleagues
because of his part in the insurance
scandal and the events that have fol
lowed. Mr.. Depew need not fee
backward at all. There is hardly a
senator who would dare point his
finger at him. In fact, in the Unite,
State Senate is where he should fee
the most at home.

This is good. More power to those
back of the movement. Give us To-
cal option, so that every community
can decide for itself whether or not
it shall have saloons, and then have a
high license in places where the sa-
looms are to be. The income to the
city will be the same, there will be
less crime and the city will be cleaner
in every respect. Best of all, the
power of the breweries will receive
a blow which may wipe it out en-
tirely. Not only should every man
who runs a saloon have the license
in his own name, but he should be
his own proprietor.
At present a great majority of
the saloons are mere retail stations
for the breweries to dispose of their
product to the public. This state
of affairs should end. Local option
and high license is the cry.

MONDAY, JANUARY %.
A STREETS NEED.

There is quite a difference between
our paved and unpaved streets at
present: rTr-ood~ object lesson.
If any property owner is complaining
about the mud in front of his house
we would advise him to stroll
through some of the paved thorough
fares. OF course, don't pick out
State street from Smith street north.
Macadam is all right for a residential
street when kept in repair, see Rector
sire for proof, but is almost as bad
as nothing in the business street.
State street is a disgrace to the city,
but it is beyond the power of the
street department for the macadam
has been relaid practically as good
as new. 1t is up to the property
owners who kill every petition pre-
scented for an Improvement.
1t is one of the faults of our an
tiquated city charter that a major
ity of but two or three can hold up
the entire city, for in a business
thoroughfare more than merely the
property are concerned.
BY neglecting to improve State
street as it should be, the property
owners who demonstrated have driv-
en- off a large amount Of business.
While a few years ago there was
some doubt as to which would be
the leading street of the city, there is
absolutely no doubt now. One by
one the leading stores have moved
around in Smith street and those re-
naming in State street are either
planning to move or are awaiting the
first opportunity to get away. Smith
street is now the leading business
thoroughfare and is becoming more
so every year. The mere looks of
State street keep shoppers off Of it.
1t is now almost too late to stop the
tide, but much good can be accom-
plished by prompt action. State street
should be paved.

Judging from the reports from
the automobile show in New York,
these machines are going to be more
numerous than ever on our highways
this season. The Legislature should
not adjourn without doing something
to afford the people relief. New Jer-
sey cannot afford to spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars on good roads
to be ruined by automobiles owned,
in a great part, by people residing
and paying taxes in another state.
One dollars for each horse power
of a machine is a fair tax. Then the
big fellows, the speed fiends and the
like, will have to pay their just pro-
portion. The little fellows pay less.
