This reminds us of the statement
that when a certain coal dealer in
this city attempted to offer some real
competition and put in a figure to
supply coal at profit to himself, yet
lower than the price the combine had
agreed upon, he suddenly found that
the railroads would not supply him
with coal. In other words, he had to
either get into the combine and quote
the fixed prices or quit the business
because the railroads said so. Is it
any wonder that the railroads are in
trouble, now that President Roose-
welt is after them? Incidentally, is
it any wonder that the Colby move
ment has gained thousands of follow
ers in this state because it is known
that he is fighting the corporations
who control legislation through po-
litical machines and the bosses?

ROSE DOLORES.

(By Isabel Eccleston Mackay, il
the March McClure's.
The moan of Rose Dolores, she made
her plant to me;
MY hair is lifted my the wind that
sweeps in from the sea;
| taste its salt upon my lips-O jail
er, set me free!"
Content thee, Rose Dolores, content
. thee, child of carel
There's satin shoon upon thy feet and
emeralds in thy hair,
And one there is who hungers for thy
step upon the stair"
The moan of Rose Dolores: 90, Jail
er, set me free!
These satin shoon and green-lit gems
are terrible to me:
l hear a murmur on the wind the
murmur of the seal"
"Bethink thee, Rose Dolores, bethink
thee, ere tool ate!
Thou vert fishers child, alack, born
to fishers fate
Wouldst lay thy beauty meath the
yoke-would'st be a fishers
mate?"
The moan of Rose Dolores: kind
jailer, let me go!
There's one who is fisher-ah., my
heart beats cold and slow
Lest he should doubt / love him
|, who love not heaven so!"
Alas, sweet Rose Dolores, why beat
against the bars?
Thy fisher lover drifteth where the
sea is full of stars;
Why weep for one who weeps no
more--since grief thy beauty

Che moan of Rose Dolores (she pray
ed me patiently:

from out the calling sea,
know whose kiss was in the wind

practically all there is OF the belong
ings of the East Jersey proprietors
and it would be a distinct loss to
Perth Amboy to destroy or so alter it
as to cause 1t to lose its present his
torical value. The proposition, how
ever, to exchange n plot of land i'm
mediately Joining the present site
on the north for the land on which
che building now stands, is not object
ionable. The city owns all around
the little structure, but as long as it
stands where it is the city's lot to
the north is practically useless. With
the surveyor generals Office moved
few yards north and with the city hall
extended so that it would come as
near TO it as it is now, the change
would hardly be noticeable and it
would be big convenience to the
city.
At first thought it may seem to
some that the city could find more
acceptable ways of spending It's mon
ey just now than enlarging the city
hall, but when it is realized how much
the city has grown in the past ten
years and that the accommodations
for handling this vastly increased
business has remained the same some
idea of the actual needs can be had.
The city officials are hampered for
lack of room and it Is due them that
the city provide suitable place. The
lookup and police court have long
been disgrace to the city. There is
ample reason why it would not be |
wise to build a new city hall and the
next best thing Is to remodel the pres
ent structure. 1t is to be hoped the
state and Board of Proprietors will
see the reasonableness in the city's
request and will consent to the ex-
change of land as proposed.

THE DAWN OF TEXAN FREEDoM.


(From "The Mexican War" by
Robert McNutt McElroy, Ph.D., il
the March Metropolitan Magazine.)
On the morning of the 21st OF
April, 1886, the day chosen for the
battle which was to decide the fate of
Texas. Houston's first words had
been: "The Sun of ,Austerlitz has ris-
en- again." He had then called a
council of war, and asked the opinion
of his six field officers as to whether
they should attack the enemy or wait
for the attack to come from them.
The four senior officers strangely
counseled delay; but their arguments
did not convince Houston, who de-
clared that the hour for action had
arrived and plainly announced the in
tention, of his own responsibility, to
risk an engagement. He then dis
patched Deaf Smith, his most trusty
scout, to cut down the bridge which
offered the only means of escape to
either army.
Make the best of your way" he
had said, in his habitual tone of kind
ly friendship, ito Vinces bridge;
cut 1t down and burn it up, and come
back like eagles or you will be too
late for the day." And just as the
first charge was starting, a horseman
hecked with foam from his painting
charger, had dashed along the lines
of the patriot army, as Houston had
arranged that he should do, calling
out clearly, that all might hear, this
death knell to all hopes of possible es-
cape. Il have cut down Vince's
bridge! Now fight for your lives, and
remember the Alamo!"
The Texan army, with Houston rid
ing at the front of the center column.
had then dashed forward against the
mexican breastworks, behind which /
stood the Army of Santa Anna, drawn
up in perfect order, and calmly re-
serving It's fire for short range. Their
first volley, however, by the grace of
a divine Providence. as the Texans
declared, went too high. Houston's
leg was shattered at the ankle, and
his horse was severely wounded, but
MS columns still advanced uninjured.
Ihen anne the answering volley,
poured into the very bosoms" of the
astonished Mexicans-unable to re-
load, and without bayonets for the
charge. The Texans had 'clubbed
heir muskets," and dealt desperate
blows, and finally, when they had
hQffnrpd Int
center of the Mexican army, they had
irawn their murderous bowie knives.
Ind literally cut their way through
tense masses of living flesh"
The battle had lasted only twenty
minutes. but in that time new ma
ion had been born into the world.
From the battle of San Jacinto."
aid Webster, in 1912, "the war was
t an end"

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2s.
THE AMBoY BRIDGE SPANS.

The alterations on the Amboy
bridge are not to begin tomorrow az
was announced several months age. II
is declared that the ice in the river
will not allow boats to reach the
+ structure so as to get the material up
to 1t. Doubtless this is true, but it
is probable the ice is very conven-
lent excuse just at this time. 1t is
customary for promises to be made
and then have two or three "unavoid-
able" delays before work actually
starts. 1t 1t were not for the Ice there
would probably be some other rea-
son why the work should not begin
before the summer is we'll advanced.
Admitting that it would be impos-
sible to start the work now there is
nothing to show that, If weather
conditions were favorable, the start
would be made at once. Several
weeks ago it was given out that the
start would be delayed until March
10, which was merely way of break
Ing the news gently and now comes
the statement that the work Will not
begin for some time yet.
1t is to be hoped that the contract
ors will be ready by the time the
thaw sets in. 1t is announced that it
Is the intention to close the bridge on
ly during part of the time the altera-
tions are being made. 1t is very
likely, however, that the bridge will |
be closed Immediately after the first
real thaw and will remain closed un-
til repairs are made. 1t is safe to
say that the ice up the river was not
thicker in 1904 and 1905 than it is |
now and there is nothing more to
protect tne Drloge now than there
was then when part of it was car
ried away, two winters in succession.
There is every reason to believe,
therefore, that the ice will do its work
again this spring and it will be to
the interest of the travelling public
to have everything ready to begin on
the spans. The bridge was just be-
ginning to be popular last year when
the cold weather set in and it will be
greatly missed if it is to be kept
closed for any length of time this
summer. II

Chief Burke is deserving of public
commentator in establishing a rule
that the sidewalks must be kept free
from beer kegs. 1t is not only ex-
tremely annoying, but 1t is decidedly
Objectionable and does not add to any
good opinion stranger might form
of the city to see row of kegs along
the curb sometimes piled two and
three high. Let the saloon keepers
hold the empty kegs in their cellars
until the wagon calls to collect them
and then life them direct from the
cellar to the vehicle. This is the
method Chief Burke has established
and 1t is to be hoped he will keep
the rule strictly enforced. 1t will go
a long ways toward improving the ap-
pearance of the city.
