Lines to a Dead Kitten
BY KARE WARREN.


It's only little dead kitten,
Sleek and round and faD, ~
So carry 1t of with the garbage
For it's only a wee bit of a cat.
But
It was a little girls plaything,
This wee little bit of a cat,
That followed her round through the
daisies.
And tugged at the strings Of her hat.
Or romped with her in the nursery;
or rolled on the parlor floor;
Or, purring, nestled close besides her
AS she slept just inside the door.
There was love 'twikt these two little
beings;
A love that was honest and true;
But kitty is dead now-and grille
Has heartache the livelong day
through.
1t was only a little dead kitten,
sleek and round and faD,
That they carried away with the
garbage
Just wee little bit of cat

SUFFRAGETTES ARE
GIVEN COLD SHOULDER

CHICAGO, sept 9.-"Is the Illinois
Suffrage association a political organ
izationg' e
The Illinois State Fair association
contends that it is and has refused TO
allow the suffragettes a booth on the
state fair grounds at Springfield.
What makes the grievance greater in
the eyes of the suffragettes is the fact
that booth is being donated to the
w c. 7. u. which they assert has a
part in every election.
Mrs. Alice Bright Parker, chairman
of the publicity bureau of the suffrage
association, declares that it is an un-
just discrimination on the part of the
state fair authorities.

THE OLD BRIDGE CASE.

Authorities Of the county owe It
to the people of Middlesex that they
do everything possible to clear up
the Old Bridge mystery. No little
notoriety has been brought to that
section through the series of crimes
that have taken place within the past
few years. This far no Il has been
brought to justice. 1t ought not to
be difficult to get to the bottom Of
this lawlessness. Old Bridge is not
such a thickIy populated community
that ferreting out crime is so diff
cult as to battle the trained detec-
tives. In fact Old Bridge is one of
the most peaceful towns in the coun-
ty. The people there are iuoffen-
sive and law-abiding. If there is a
iend among them who is bringing
IIS tOHu Auto al uuouEldDle llguL
1t is time he was caught and placed
where he belongs.
The Board of Freeholders have
done right in Offering a reward Of
$500 for the arrest of the guilty
person or persons. The attention of
Prosecutor Booraem should be Of
icially calld to the matter, II that is
necessary in order that he may get
his men on the case. Middlesex can
not afford to let this rest until every
thing possible has been done to wipe
out the stain on the county's reputa-
ton,

ROYs AND P~LAYGROUNDs.

1t is understood that the play
ground commission is soon to resume
its activities in an effort to secure
an ample appropriation for the work
next year. In this connection 1t is
interesting to consider a recent ex-
p~erience in Trenton commented upon
by the Newark Evening News as fol-
lows:
AN interesting statement with
reference to Fairgrounds comes from
Trenton. That city has established
a reasonable number of these pleas
ant resorts for children and has also
fitted up a place where the boys can
play ball to their hearts content.
Nevertheless, Trenton suffered re-
Gently from such an unusual amount
of juvenile crime that public atten-
ton was directed to it, and the plea
that Fairgrounds were a preventive
of such crime seemed to be ~disproyed.
This induced one of the city's COM
missioners to make an investigation,
and he found that of five boys re
Gently charged with completely in
burglaries and other misdemeanors,
not one had been an attendant at
any of the Fairgrounds during the
entire summer, and that there was
no Fairgrounds within easy reach of
their residence: This is not a mere
coincidence. 1t is a highly suggest
i've fact. Fairgrounds will not, of
course, stop all Juvenile crime, for
there are boys and girls who are
taught it by their vicious parents or
who inherit criminal propensities.
But any normal child will play, if
given the opportunity, rather than
commit crime. What Trenton wants
is more Fairgrounds easy of access
to all its Juveniles"

Commission a petition in which it
is set forth that 800 for 1000 feet
is excessive, and asks for a reduc-
ton. other cities T preparing to
follow suit. Perth Amboy might be
paying $40 gross for a long time
to come had IT not been for the ac-
ton of the Board Of Trade. Down
in Philadelphia a statement has been
made by a person advocating re
duced gas rate, that a fortune can
be made by the gas companies with
the rate at fifty cents per Loco feet.
1t looks as If Perth Amboy has been
a mighty good thing" for the gas
company.

IN EUROPE.

Motoring in Europe has It's draw
backs just the same as in America
where the New Jersey auto license
seems to be such a bugbear for so
many tourists. 1t seems thai many
parties are stranded on the Swiss
Tyrolese frontier owing to the fact
that the recent rains and floods In
the Tyrol have destroyed the roads in
the north and east. 1t seems there
is one Canton in Switzerland where
automobiles are prohibited entirely.
The autoists have petitioned the
government to set aside the rule
for this one time and let them cross
over into Germany. The government
has replied that the autos can pass
through the territory If they are
drawn by horses. This is pretty hard
on the motorists and many of them
are forwarding their machines by
train. There must be considerable
expense attached to this. After all,
the small license fee charged for the
use of the New Jersey roads Is an
insignificant sum compared With
what tourists frequently have to put
up elsewhere.

GRADE CROSSING SLAUGHTER.

According to figures given out by
the National Highways Protective
Association, there were t~hirty-fve
accidents at grade crossings in the
states Of New York and New Jersey
during June, July and August, in
which thirty-eight persons were kill
ed and ffty-four injured. These fig
ures are appalling. They should be
carefully considered, especially at
election time when we are choosing
men to represent us in making the
laws of the commonwealth.
There is absolutely no excuse for
this wholesale slaughter of innocent
people. Grade crossings have no
right to exist. AS long as these death
traps are permitted none of us know
who is to be the next to go. The
agitation for their abolition has been
on for some time, but thus far no
thing has been accomplished in this
state. 1t is about time New Jersey
did something to protect the lives
of her citizens. How much greater
must be the sacrifice before the nee
essary action is taken?
In Essex county the followers Of
Governor Wilson have a set of can
didates for the legislature who
stand on a platform which contains
among other excellent things, a
plank calling for the abolition of all
grade crossings IN the state at the
expense of the railroads. This plank
ought to be accepted by every "a
didate for the legislature this fall,
although there Is ground for a reas-
enable doubt as to whether or not
the entire cost of this improvement
should be saddled on the railroads.
That, however, is a matter Of after
consideration. The thing now is to
get the people sufficiently aroused SO
as to demand Of the coming legisla-
ture some action that will bring
about an end to the grade crossings.
1t is a matter of life and death. No
knows who is to be the mex vic
tim. Another legislature should not
adjourn without settling this matter
in the right way.
