choosing him n of its admins
tratiye heads, because Of his high
character and reputation as a succ-
essful business man in his own COM
munity.
Born in Dayton In 1853 of a fam
ily prominent in Middlesex affairs
for generations, Mr.. Ely's interests
and affections are closely bound up
with the county from which he now
asks a vote Of appreciation. He was
educated In the public schools and
early In life went to the West, alb
sorbing In Kansas some of the pro-
gressive spirit which grew from that
great section until 1t made itself felt
In every section of the country. After
q few years there Mr.. Ely returned
to his old home, where he had over
meant to cast his lot.
About eighteen ears ago he started
a store in Dayton which has been
d marked success because OF his
sound business dealing. For several
wears he also conducted a business
in New Brunswick. From 1898 to
1897 he was postmaster at Dayton,
having been named by President
Cleveland,
He never aspired to elective office
until 1908, when the Democratic
party Of the county made a demand
for business men OF his type as its
candidates for F~reeholders. 1t was
a doubtful proposition, but Mr.. Ely
did not hesitate to offer himself. That
the party chose we'll was demonstrate
ed by the people, a verdict In that
election.
Ut has been more thoroughly DEM
onstrated since Mr.. Ely took office.
He has been chairman of the COM
mittee on roads for two years. He
found the highways of Middiesex in
a condition which might we'll have
made him despair. Many roads had
been macadamized In various parts
of the county, but had for years gone
without repair, SO that there was
hardly q highway in the county that
Gould be pointed to with any degree
OF pride. Moreover the county treas
urs was in such a condition that little
money could be spared for condition
Ing the roads.
Under Mr.. Ely, however, this
problem has been worked out to a
successful solution. With his col
leagues he has Strengthened out the
financial end Of the matter, and d.
reetly under his supervision a COM
petent plan has been inaugurated
for the repairing of all the roads,
both improved and unimprov0d.
The problem OF road Improvement
Is a dstleuit one, and Mr.. Ely with
his colleagues is andeavoring To es-
~taisissi, a system OF Improvement that
will be 81 benefit to the entire county
and Al 4he Gafun ffgna fTannea &c J{4tfa
burden IF taxation as possible.
In eTefy case Of road improvement
the board has and will continue To
consider what will be OF the great
est good ! the most people.
Mr. Ely has had assigned TO his
especial supervision the township OF

The term watchdog is rather
hackneyed as applied to a public
official. but In it's commonly accepted
senseiit is a very honorable title. and
1t is hard to think OF any better des-
ignation to give F~reeholder Anthony
J. Gebhardt. of Highland Park, who
is a candidate for reelection this
fall.
Mr.. Ge5hardt has had under his
inspection for the past two years the
great and growing section of Mid
dlesex county which lies north of the
Raritan River. He has been the
only Freeholder from that side of
the Raritan and his task has been
by no leans easy.
Much of the time 1t has been a
case of meeting the encroachments
of public utility corporations, and
striking a fair measure between the
public and these oncern And now
these corporations have a pretty
clear idea that they will never catch

Al G. FIELDS MlNSTRELS

was 2s years ago that AL G'
Field began his career as
minstrel. Since then most OF the
old guard has passed, but the tam
bour,nes still thump as merrlly ana
the bones click as sharply as they
ever did, the band crashes out Its
lively music and nimbie feet keep
time. Nothing seems to change The
minstrel man materially. He seems
always sure of crowded house and
a warm welcome.
The Field show is an elaborate
one this year, the owner advertising
widely the fact that ne has bean In
the game one quarter of century
I he entertainment carries with 1t a
half dozen of men singers who
rank high in their profession and
the chorus is one splendidly trained.
The show opens with review,
"David, the Minstrel Man." with
Norman Stanley in the role OF
David. This turns quickly to the
present day minstrelsy, the Floral
Festival. From here the scene
shifts to Cafe of Momus, where Mr..
Field gets in some of his in:mitable
minstrel humor with his staff of fun
makers assisting him. Fields
Brother Anderson stories are one of
the big hits of the show.
The bottom of the sea is unique

tIoupe of contortionists garbed as
frogs and fish. Cant cheer" a

plenty of good comedy.
The we'll known singers in the
company are: Paul Lalonde,

professional economist, and ne mas
done fine work along that line in
heading off wildcat schemes to
waste the public money. Some
propositions of that sort are now
before Congress, but this canal
fortifcation idea has patriotism and
good sense on its side.
Professional peace advocates
throughout the country are fighting
the canal forcifcation suggestion,
but they are likely to fail. The
United States Government is spend
ing in the neighborhood of S4oo,-
900, 900 in building the caral. No
other country contributes a cent
toward its construction. In peace
times every country will have the
privilege of using the canal on the
same terms as will the United States.
The canal will be an American
waterway just as truly as are the
Hudson and the Mississippi. The
right TO fortify it will be as clear
as is our right to erect defenses at
the mouths of those streams. Our
duty to do this is equally plain.
Here is a measure on the presi-
dents programme which is reason
ably sure to pass. He has urged it
with much force, and he has large
majority of the newspapers of the
country, without distinction OF
party, on his side. Peace societies
and a few Mugwumps in Congress
and am ng the press have opposed
it, and the proposition has been de-
layed until the closing days Of the
session. Now its friends in Con-
gress are beginning to show some
vigor. AS one of the arguments in
favor of the building Of the canal
was its advantage to US in war time
as a short cut between our Atlantic
and Pacific coasts, the necessity OF
shutting out our enemy from the
canal if we we're hghtlng great
naval power is apparent. Inc
canal will be part of our coast line.
and we must defend it as we do any
other part of our border. And the
only way we can defend it Is by
erecting forts at each end of it and
around all cf its locks.-KanSaS

than the passage Of several unex-
pected measures that will be greatly
to the Legislatures credit. The
good roads legislation is first class
and thereby Kansas takes long
step forward, in fact, the first real
step towards general road Improve
ment. Progress of work under the
provisions Of the various new road
bills will be going on after many of
the political conuoS ersies are for
gotten.
Another fac piece of legislation
Of progressive character is the uni
form accounting bill. State Pnnter-
elect Austin, who has spent the en-
tire session at Topeka at his own ex-
pense, lobbying in behalf of this eX-
cellent measure, deserves the thanks
of the state, as do the Legislature
and the State Tax Commissioners.
If uniform accounting wo.kS In
Kansas as it has donein Ohio, this aw
will save the counties and the State
several hundred thousand dollars
every year. In Ohio the reports
show that in six years the law has
been in operation it has caused al
actual saving of 3 million dollars
This is the testimony Of the Oni(
State Chamber of Commerce. b
if uniform accounting saved nothing
in dollars and cents, it would be de
sirable simply because it systema
ties the business of the State ant
ounties.
These two new measures, for roat
Improvement and uniform account
ing, are alone worth the cost of
session of the Legislature. .-ropeki

EXPECTED BATTLE SHIP VISIT

1t may be that the depth of water
In the Mississippi In May will not
permitslhe battle ship Idaho to come
uo' to the wharves of ST. Louis, but
the Navy Department has consented
to the trip if conditions prove to be
favorable. There have been many
Mays IN which the channel was
much deeper than the IS feet re
quired by the Idaho, but season
also occur when the tide is not
quite equal to the passage of moi
ern dreadnoughts. But the fact
that the Idaho will be permitted to
come if she can Is fitting recogni.
ton of the possibilities of the chief
river of North America even when,
for the most part, it is unimproved
and just as nature made it. The
Business Mems League suggested to
the authorities at Washington that
the protected cruiser St. Louis
should visit this city, but it seems
that she is at present out of COM
mission in Pacific port. The 81.
Louis. dating from Io o>2, has two
thirds the tonnage of the Idaho, but
mole than double the horse power,
and a speed of twenty two knots
compared with the Idaho's seventeen.
The latter is in the modem leviathan
class and successful journey by
her so far inland would be a worlds
record in naval river navigation
But for the deepening of the
mouth of the Mississippi by govern
ment appropriations the Idaho
could not reach New Orleans. The
improyement of the passes has
opened the way for ships drawing
over 30 feet, aud the Idaho will
unouestionably ascend the river for
a long distance. Now is the time
for the Missouri River to get in us
annual spring work, reminding the
that 1t is one of the might
lest rivers in volume, as well as
for thousands of miles.
The upper Mississippi and the
Illinois can contribute to the occas-
ion, and perhaps the Kaw will show
that Its booms are not always /
If any one fancies
that permission for dreadnought
to call at the port of ST. Louis is in
the least ironical the annals of the
as to average depth in
Nav are a sufficient answer. A
lime will come, and-not many de-
rades distant, when any vessel in

move at will between the lakes and

TO FORTIFY THE CANAL

AS the House has voted s., ooo-
900 for this purpose, it is evident
that the proposition to fortify the
Panama Canal will be carried
through Congress IN this session.
The administration has urged it,
and all the Republican leaders seem
to favor it, except Repre-
sentative Tawney, the chairman Of
nat committee. NJ. Tiwney is a
