IambertviIle's Prosperity.

The Business League have been I'M
firing in their efforts to secure the
location of some industry here, ana
still have under consideration several
propositions, sand 1t is hoped that from
some of them may develop something
that will be to the advantage OF our
city.
In the meantime it is not worth
while for our people to close their
ewes to the fact that some help In
this direction is needed, yet it Is I'M
necessary and unwise to make 1t APP
pear that conditions are any worse
than they are. The fact is that a
careful inquiry amongst our business
men develops the fact that up to
the first of January business this year
was as good or better than year ago.
Since that time it has been very dull,
but this is true the country over.
Here is a proposition by which all
our citizens can help in small way
to build up the prosperity OF the town
aud if they will accept and act; Will
do the town more good than even
the starting of some new industry
here. That is to say, II each
and every householder will make
it point to buy in the town
ever, thing he possibly can for
the household and personal use.
This statement is made after some
personal inquiry which develops the
fact that very large class of onr So
called weather. citizens buy large
portion of even their groceries in the
large cities, and amongst almost every
class of our people there Is now more
or less buying of all kinds of supplies
in Trenton, Philadelphia, New York,
and by mail orders throughout the
whole country. Now, If we can keep
this money at home at time like the
present and under existing conditions
the benefit to our merchants and
through them to their employees, land
lords. tenants and others, it will be
difficult to calculate the great advan-
tage that will be derived.

There seems to be pretty general
expectation all over the State that the
Legislature this year will pass new
primary act, providing for the nomln-
alton of all political candidates, del
egates and county committeeman by
direct vote of the people. This mat
ter will probably become one of the
most troublesome questions that the
Legislature will take up this year,
Notwithstanding that popular senti-
ment, regardless of parties, seemed
to demand direct primary law.

To the end of evolving higher
standard of citizenship and inparting
a better sense of local pride nothing
can be more effective than an educa-
ton, not only along general lines. but
also in civics. Whatever is being done
for the improvement OF the public
school should interest every parent
and awaken local pride. If there
exists and doubt in the minds OF peo-
ple concerning the degree of develop
ment that the Lambertville public

Ruling BY Interstate Commission.

WASHINGTON, July 16. - That a
household servant, when travelling
with member of the family entitled
to pass, is lawfully included within
the term "family" as used in the act
to regulate commerce, is one of the
several interesting rulings made pub.
lie today by the interstate commerce
commission.
A decision of peculiar interest is
that in case of q shipment which
was rendered, destined to q certain
point, the direct route to which was
over the line of two carriers, q dis.
tance OF 385 miles, the rate by route
being p cents, it was possible to send
the shipment around over the lines of
three carriers, a distance of 6l7 miles
and secure combination rate of only
10 cents. Application was made for a
refund on account of the difference
between the rates, but the commission
held that the claim for q refund is to
be denied on the ground that the much
longer and indirect route was not q
reasonable route.

Milwaukee Extension Is Expensive

New YORK, July l5.-The cost of
the Pacific coast extension of the
Chicago, Milwa aukee & St. Paul road,
which it is expected will be open for
traffic on July l, 1909, will be about
$5,000,000 more than the company
originally reckoned on. 1t was said
yesterday by an officer of the road
that the additional cost was due to the
decision to run the road at a lower
grade over the mountain division than
was first planned. The total cost Of
the project is now about S77, 900, 900,
but as 800, 900, 900 of the preferred d
and common stock has been issued to
provide balance for future contin.
gencies, there will be no shortage of
funds, Notwithstanding the increased
cost.
The Pacific coast extension of the
St. Paul was begun about two years
ago. It Is 1880 miles long and con.
tinues the road from its former termi.
nus in North Dakota to Seattle and

THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
y. y. Hill Says Increased Freight
Rates Will Solve It.

NEW YORK, July III. j. Hill
president OF the Great Northern, is o1
the opinion that the solution of the
financial problem that confronts the
railroads is an increase in freigh,
rates. Mr.. Hill is strongly opposed
to cut in wages as a means of in.
creasing the net earnings OF railro ads.
Mr.. Hill, who has just returned from
fishing trip in Canada, made the
following statement today:
"There is no altern alive but to
raise rates. The credit of the roads
has been seriously impaired. The way
to enhance credit is to increase rates
"Wages should not be cut. Ell.
.cient labor is essential to successful
operation. Railroad employees have
peculiar esponsibilities. They have
to meet a hard test. They should ge,
fair recompense. Cut wages 10 per
cent and the man who got SIS last week
gets Sl3 80 this week. 1t is the differ.
ence between meat and no meat.
"Freight rates in this country are
low beyond comparison. Receiving
but one.half and even one.thlrd of the
rate received in European cities, the
wages paid railroad empoyes here
average 100 per cent higher than those
paid in Europe."

Bonaparte Confers With President.

OYSTER BAY, July lS.-One of the
matters which President Roosevelt
and Attorney General Bonaparte dis.
cussed in their conference was the
selection Of man to succeed Milton
b. Purdy as assistant attorney gen.
aral. Mr.. Purdy's recent appointment
as Judge of the district court of Min
nesota left that post vacant. Wade
Ellis, present attorney general Of
Ohio, has been spoken of as proba.
bic successor to Mr.. Purdy.
Secretary Loeb said after the con.
sultation that no decision had been
reached in the matter. Mr.. Bonaparte
talked with the president on the neu.
trality laws with Mexico, which he
believes should be revised and made
stronger, and on the whisky contro.
versy arising from the government
pure food laws. The president is
seeking to have them rigidly enforced.
The efforts of the Nebraska republi-
cans to induce President Roosevelt to
go to Nebr aska and make several
speeches during the coming campaign
will not be successful according to
Mr.. Loeb. Today when asked whether
the president would 60 to Nebraska,
Mr.. Loeb reiter ated what he had said

State Prison Case Decided.

ant case settled was the mand anus
proceedings instituted by Wyman and
Henderson against the state board OF
prison commissioners. The court
holds the contract ia not enforceable,
but at the same time it remarks, that
"the position of the board amounted
to a practical denial of the right OF

The court says the board "had ab-
solutely no authority to insist, lat a.
q condition precedent to the award OF
the contract, the new contr actors
should furnish the money to enable
the state to take over the property
belonging to Conley and McTague.
This was an unauthorized assumption
OF power on their part. The board
exceeded its authority in urging the
existing conditions as q reason for
practically coercing Wyman aud
Henderson into relieving the state
from supposed obligation for which
they, Wyman and Henderson, were in
no way responsible.

MUST PAY FARE.
Political SpeIlbinders Will Not Be
Given Railroad Passes.

WASHINGTON. July 15.-At the very
outset Of the campaign the managers
collide with a staggering proposition
that OF raising the money to pay the
railroad fares Of speakers and other
workers. This will be the first presi.
Dental fight to which the railroads
have not contributed from s700, 900 to
S1,500, 900 in the form of free trans.
portation.
The rate law of June 30, 1906, for.
bids the issuance of transportation in
exchange for anything other than real
money. The penalty for issuing q
free pass is fine of from 600 to o..
600. The penalty for furnishing tickets
at prices less than those quoted to the
public is even higher.
Sale OF tickets at cut rate prices
would bring the transactions within
the category Of rebates, and a fine for
rebate cannot be less than 81, 900 nor
more than go, 900, not to mention i'm
prisonment for the man who gives it
and for him who receives it.
1t is certainty that the manager
for neither side of the quadrennia al
fight can get along without fund OF
$500, 900 to be used in paying for rail.
road tickets. That the estimate OF
$500, 900 as fund to be used in buy
ing transportation for the workers il
reasonable may be inferred from the
fact that in the fiscal year just past
the travelling done by the agents of
the agricultural department in the en-.
forcement of pure food, meat inspec.
tion and other regulative statutes am.
cunt to just about $500, 200.
The national committee of each
party will have three or four times as
many men travelling about the country
as are employed by Secretary Wilson
in his effort to have the laws intended
to guarantee pure and clean food en-
forced.
