SANTA CLAUS STEEDS
SAVE ALASKANS.

when the white man with his civ
ilization arrived in Alaska the trou-
bles of the natives began" writes
Edw b. Clark in the March Techni-
cal World Magazine. "The Innuits,
otherwise known as Eskimos, the
Aleuts, the Thlingets, and the rest.
came in contact with the blessings of
hme Gospel and with the curses of
rum and disease. 1t is perhaps logi-
cal from the church point of view TO
regard ii as better that a man should
suffer in his physical lifetime than to
be damned spiritually through eter-
nifty, but luckily for the Alaskans
there were some men, Christians of
the right mind, who thought it would
be only Gospel like to save the EslSi-
mo from suffering both before and
after death-and these men seem to
have found the means of accomplish
ing the end
THE reindeer seemingly has solv-
ed the problem of the temporal if
not the eternal salvation of the Alas
kan. He gets his food, his raiment
and his Gospel on the reindeer range.
He has been taught by sharp circum-
stance to look upon the missionary as
one who with due regard for the soul
of his charge, also looks well after
his body"
An excellent article relating the
work of DR.. Sheldon Jackson. the
missionary who introduced. the rein
deer into Alaska and the tremendous
good he has done follows. 1t is an
tale and one which shows
admirably what one good mans
brains may do for needy people.

why do not the business men of South

find the business men of Perth Am

THE TR0ILEY oTESTION.

The latest absurdity we heard Of
was the petition placed before the
common council asking that an ord
nance be passed granting a franchise
Tor a trolley track to come down the
hill on Pine avenue, crossing the Rar-
itan River railroad track down to
John street and then down John
street to the N. Y. & l.. B. railroad
depot (the managers OK said company
have been so courteous and have had
the accommodation and comfort of
the patrons of the road that we think
every citizen of South Amboy should
use every effort not only to get all
trolley lines under consideration to
touch at this one point, but get as
many more as possible to touch
there) But. to return TO the subject
under consideration, 1t should be the
aim Of every citizen when having anv
public Improvement under considera-
tion where anything dangerous to life
and limb comes in question, that the
most important matter to be consid-
cred is how can we best prevent acct
dents that might cause loss of life.
not 10 advocate the laying of q track
that win cross another track at a
igrade crossing and at the foot of a
4Sleep NIL.
Can it be possible that the petition
ers have forgotten the Newark dis
aster. Isn't there just as likely to be
ice and snow in the tracks in the
future SIS in the past? If we had the
track laid according to the petition,
might we not be compelled to mourn
the loss of some loved one as the re-
suit of our folly? In considering the
matter from an unselfish and unpre-
JUDGED standpoint it appears as If |
the natural obstacles that loom up,
that the only way for the trolley to |
go is the way the franchise has al
ready been granted and we hope our !
council will give the matter due con-
sideration before taking final action |
ON the matter. If trolley is wanted |
to give our citizens recreation by rid |
ing around the borough before we
start on journey let the council not |
do the thing by halves, but give us a
belt line all around the borough, taxi |
ing in Mechanicsyille and all other |
suburbs, then no matter how pressing |
our business we can take view of our |
town before starting on our journey
to the objective point.

IN KEATS, ROOM

Peona looked at her jonQuiIs q lit
tie forlornly. Above the narrow bed
was framed manuscript copy of an
American poets tribute to Keats.
And 1t was above this impaSsioned
little tribute that she hung her mod
est armful of blossoms 1t was the
only sign, the only mark of remem-
brance in the room. Writ in wat
er," murmured Peona bitterly, gaz-
ing about the tomb like place. And
| saw the tears in her eyes as she
passed from the bedroom into the
larger sitting room beside 1t, galdy
with chromos, with vanished and in
congruous furniture, where from a
center table the huge brass trumpet
of an Edison gramaphone cleaned
through the half lights She swept
the room with one quick glance of
disdain, then she went TO the window
and gazed out over the via del Ba
buino, and | saw her dash at her eyes
with her gloved hand. AT least he
had the sun, hadn't he?" she ven
tured, at last, bravely gratefully, but
in such a tone of mingled solicitude
and most intimate motherliness that
1t left me wondering Just why it
should be that Keats was, and has
ever remained, the best beloved, the
most conciliating figure in all our
long galleries of song. Yet / carried
away with me the memory of a bald.
oblong. neglected little red tiled
room, with only an armful of jonquils
hung over the narrow and bier like
bed. "And | know that woman will
wear them to the Quirino or the Va
riety tonight" said the unhappy Pc
ona, trying to laugh through her
tears.-The Book News Monthly.

Publicity Is Needed.

The legislature should pass the
bills creating an official record of the
proceedings In the assembly and SEN
ate. The governor approves of them,
and they have been Endorsed by the
Peoples Lobby, which is proof posi-
tive that they are good bills.
Misleading statements which have
been sent out, that this legislation
would entail heavy expense, indicate
that an attempt is being made to find
justification for the defeat of the bills
which are demanded by the people of
New Jersey.
1t may cost $4,000 TO carry out
the proposed plan, but it would be
money well expended. For years all
sorts of private and partisan schemes
have been pulled off quietly at Tren-
ton by lobbyists and politicians. Such
kind of work will be dangerous If
these bills are passed.
The plan is to establish an official
record of each days proceedings In
the legislature: not an official calen-
! dar of bills introduced and passed,
bur stenographic report OF every
word said by any member for or
against any bill, and his vote on the
measure.
This would give the people all
over the state a chance to keep close
tab on their representatives. Under
the present plan lobbyists and poiti-
clans fix up their schemes; men speak
and vote for iniquitous measures, be-
cause they know the records will not
show anything to hurt them with the
people at home.
These bills establish n legislative
record like the Congressional Record.
which has done more to purify ma
tional legislation than any other one
factor. Men are careful what they
say and how they vote, when they
know such things will be actually re-
corded in an official record easily
reached by all the people.
Publicity is the most effective wea-
pom in securing the highest form of
government, and its application to
the New Jersey legislature will be
productive of good results.-Paterson
