THE ROAD a MnNACE.


Residents along the Woodbridge
road. between this city and Railway.
have ample reason for complaint
about the condition of that high
way. The road is extremely dan
gerous especially after dark and it
is a question whether or not the
county would not be liable for any
accident that might occur. The
fields alongside the road. If the
fences were removed. would make a
much better and safer place for
travelling.
The freeholders will have to
work a great deal faster than they
r now doing If they would COM
plete the road this fall. At pres
ent the repairs have not reached
Woodbridge, whereas the worst of
the road is between Woodbridge and
Railway. There ought to be half a
dozen gangs of men at work on the
rebuilding. AS conditions exist now,
the road might better be closed to
the public as all the people in this
section who are to go to Railway
go by the way of sewaren and
Roosevelt. Strangers would gladly
go that way. too, If they but knew
the course The Woodbridge-Rah-
way road is actually a menace.

Summer Resorts Offered Uncle Sam

but for the beautiful sparka" ahcr,t
them, which are always heavily tim
bered and suitable for forestry pur-
poses, according to the promoters. II
all the land offered were to be bought
It would probably cost Uncle Sam
500. 600. 900 instead OF s11,o00.0oo.
One Of the leading summer resort
forest reservations" which the gov
eminent has been asked to buy IL the
Natural Bridge In Virginia, for which
something like a quarter OF a million
is wanted. Accompanying the offer
wac a beautiful painting OF the bridge
which was great for scenic beauty,
but did not seem to be much for tim
Der. No charge was made for the pic
ture. It was explained. The promoter
Of this property did not admit It, but
it is well known that the Natural
Bridge died a natural death In recent
years.
A large number Of other resort and
hotel properties in the White Noun
tains and the much advertised Land

lousy low will be Tor the forestry com
mission to say.
Certain big White Mountain hotels
want the government to buy whole
mountains so that the trees thereon
will be preserved for the benefit OF

STOKES I'M TRoNG

Former Governor Stokes came in
to Middlesex last night and spoke
for the Republican assembly ticket,
which, If elected, will put Theodore
Strong back into the state house as
one of the influential members of
the Board of Guardians. Yet 1t
was Stokes who receives Strong's
written pledge that he would retire
from politics IL the governor would
reappoint him on the State Board of
Assessors. We cannot help but
wonder just how Stokes viewed the
situation last night. There was
nothing in his speech that would Of
fer any excuse of Strong breaking
his solemn pledge and getting back
into politics. The former governor,
therefore, puts himself In a post
ton of being willing to ignore all
such pledges. passing them by as
only one Of the many methods of
the people. When the vot-
RS realize that this is the class Of
men who r still In control of the
party in.New Jersey it
ught not to be hard for them to
ecide how they viii vote.

THE DOG PROBLEM.

with the effort on the part OF
the Board OF Health to increase the
dog license to SIS, and with the po-
lice department ~endeavoring to ex-
terminate all the stray ours that
now roam the streets, something
ought to be accomplished In this
aeitx to 1xeducethe danger Of hydro
sbnobia. TO q great many people Q
license OF SIS for the privilege OF
keeping q dog q ear MAJ seem ex
cessive II the dogs are kept en-
tirely on the owners property this,
doubtless. is true. The trouble is,
the dogs are allowed absolute free
dom and thereby become a great an
noyance and danger to hundreds OF
people who refus to have the ami
: mais about their W home.
There Is no more reason why d
person who owns q dog should be
allowed to annoy the neighborhood
with the animal running at large,
going Into other peoples yards, up
getting garbage barrels, and SO on,
than there is for q man owning a
COW, to let that animal roam at win
through the streets. II the people
could be forced to keep their dogs
entirely on their own property
there would be no objection to have
the license removed entirely. This
seems to be impossible, however.
and therefore strict measures must
he taken to give the public adequate
protection,
Mayor Bellsehweiler, IN his re-
CEN proclamation commanding that
oil dogs be muzzled, perhaps gives
the best solution yet offered in the
matter. A muzzled dog, no matter
where 1t roams, can do no harm,
As far rs biting Is concerned. and
while 1t may cause a great deal OF
annoyance In nosing about other
peoples premises. 1t is not likely to
cause the death of n person. The
New York World believes thorough
II IN the muzzling of dogs and gets
at The root OF the matter IN the fol-
lowing editorial, which was publish
ed Wednesday.
According to the latest bulletin
OF The Department OF Health, there
~ needed for the public In this city
q much more efficient protection
than Is now afforded against at
lacks from dogs and cats On the
streets. Within the first sight
months OF this year no less than
2s462 such cases were reported to
the board and seven OF them result
ed In death.
The problem involved In the is
sue is not q difficult one. Stray cats
should be killed. No dog should be-
permitted on the streets without q
mngzle. A muzzied dog, even Il
vicious, cannot bite. = As mug

Miss Pansy Perkins expects to
take a course In a musical obserya-

he always thought an observatory

Hank Is a liar and that an observ-
atory Ia a place where they keep
flowers. OF course they are both
wrong. An observatory is a place
where the weather from.
The last time Mr.. and Mrs. Dea-
