IN WOODBRIDGE TOWNSHIP.

Residents of Fords and Keasbey
are justified in their request of the
woodbridge township committee that
they be given a polling place in their
section of the township. At present
the township has three polls, n of
which is at Port Reading and the
other two are in the village of Wood
bridge. This means that all citi-
zens living at Fords and Keasbey
must go to Woodbridge to vote. This
is decidedly unfair.
Since the borough of Roosevelt
was carved out Of the township the
Fords and Keasbey section has been
growing faster than any other, until
now there are doubtless as many
| people in that end of the township
as there are in Woodbridge proper.
For the village of Woodbridge,
therefore, to continue to hold on to
two polling places and deny any to
Fords and Keasbey is unjust.
We have often heard of the tail
wagging the dog, and that will soon
be the case in Woodbridge. Judging
from the way Fords is being built
up, it will be but a few years be-
fore the people of that section will
out-vote the village of Woodbridge,
and if they do not elect to become a
part of the city of Perth Amboy,
they will be changing the seat of
the township government to Fords
and force the Woodbridge people to
90 there to vote. We wonder how
those who are now opposing the
Fords and Keasbey claim would like
that.
There is something radically
wrong with the present Woodbridge
township government. The people
there r very patient or else very in
different. However, such things
cannot always last, and there is
bound to be a reckoning. 1t would
not be surprising if it were now
about at hand,

THE REPUBLICANS MISTAKE.

AGlL lAAA SE1AAt-A-N - 30 7.
Either the Republican party is
very short Of material for candidates
or else the leaders think the people
have very short memories. The Re
publican county committee has come
out in favor of an assembly ticket
that is nothing more or less than
an attempt to restore "Dory" Strong
to power at Trenton. 1t may be
that the Republicans have no hopes
of winning and therefore do not care
what the people think of their candt-
-dataa~R such is the case there may
be some excuse.
The only candidates for the assem-
bly, nomination that have been men
toned thus far are Arthur V.
Schenck, John F. Ten Brock and
Rene P. F. Won Minden. All three
are tarred with the "Dory" Strong
stick, Won Minden having a record
of being "Dory's' most s~ubservient
tool while in the legislature before.
Do the Republicans for one moment
think that the people of this county
will elect such a ticket? Perish the
thought.
1t is the same old trick of the two
factions in the Republican ranks get
ting together and dividing the Off
ces. This is the way former Con-
gresham Howell, John Conger and
/, others saved themselves on more
than one occasion, In all such deals
"Dory" Strong always took the Tren-
ton delegation for his portion. He
likes to strut about the state house
with the MiddIesex voters in his
pocket, so to speak. So 1t is this time.
We see a we'll known Carson man be-
ing backed for sheriff and a not
= o~yer-friendly Strong man in line for
surrogate. But the men who &c to
Trenton-oh, yes, they are the same
who ran last year when they receiv-
ed 'Dory's" o. K. One of them has
already been tried and has proven

THE BATTLE IS ON.

If President Taft intended that
speech which he made at Hamilton,
Mass, to be the opening gun of his
campaign for reelection in 1912, he
has succeeded beyond fondest expec-
tations. He has drawn the enemy's
fire, as it were. and can Judge some
what of the ~ferceness of tie battle
into which he is entering, ~
Champ Clark, speaker {
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-08-30

of Representatives, and one of the
foremost Democrats in the country,
comes back at the President red hot
and, it must be admitted. makes out
a good case for the Democrat ma
jority. He takes Mr.. Taft's own
words and with them proves the
Presidents inconsistency. He shows
that Mr.. Taft's statement hat the
recent tariff bills which were veto
ed were hastily drawn and passed
without due consideration, actually
had more time spent upon them
than the Payne-AIdrich tariff bill
which the President signed. Mr..
Clark showed that were it not for
the Democrats in congress the Presi-
dents own reciprocity bill would
have gone dow to ignominous de-
feat, the President, with all his in
fuence not being able to muster
enough votes in his own party to
pass the bill. Such a defeat. as Mr..
Clark says, would have left Mr.. Taft
a thoroughly discredited President.
Mr.. Clark goes on to compare the
ability of the new tariff
commissioners with that of
the members in Congress who have
spent the greater part of their lives
in tariff debate. He declares
that congress is willing to lis
ten to any facts hat anyone may
advance on the tariff, but they will
not permit any commission to delay
them in carrying out their pledges
to the people 10 revise the schedules
most affecting the masses at the first
opportunity, This opportunity came
at the special session of congress
just closed and the Democrats kept
faith with those who elected them.
Mr.. Clark does well to let the
progressive Republicans, who were
also attacked by the President in
his Hamilton speech, take care of
themselves, for, as the Speaker well
says, they are fully capable of it.
Already they have started to return
the fire of Mr.. Taft's broadside. They
are heavily loaded, too, and the
President will have a hard time of
it in his coming tour through the
west.
Two years ago Mr.. Taft made a
similar tour. At that time he de-
Tended his action in signing the
Payne-Aldrich bill, declaring it the
best tariff measure ever enacted. The
people answered him by ousting over
standpat congressman and /
turning the control of the House over
the Democrats. Now he is going I
to defend his action in yetoing bills
would have reduced the most
Objectionable schedules in hat most
Objectionable law. 1t remains to be
seen how the people will answer him
this time. The battle is on and the
administration is entering upon a
struggle for it's existence.

SINGING SANDS.
Peculiar Properties Of These Curious
Freaks Of Nature.

Peculiar Properties Of These Curious
Freaks Of Nature.
The most notable Of those curious
freaks of nature, singing sands" are
those of the Hawaiian island Of Kauai
When a small quantity Of this sand is
clapped between the hands it is said to
give forth sound so shrlll as actually
to resemble boot. Put into bag and
violently shaken. the sand emits a
noise strangely like the bark of a dog.
Similar sands also occur in the Colo
RADIO desert. where also are to be found
those curious nonsedentary sands that
continually travel hither and thither
over the vast plain of clay. Their
movements are induced by the winds,
and when n strong breeze is blowing
the particles of which they are COM
posed give out an audible humming or
singing.
Under the microscope these sands
show an almost perfectly spherical
form. so that they roll upon each other
at the slightest impulse, circum'
stance that also accounts for the rapid
ity with which the sands travel over
the desert. One theory advanced with
respect to the singing Of these sands
is that 1t is due to an exceedingly thin
film Of gas that covers the grains
Gathered and removed from the desert
the sands lose their vocal properties

A Preliminary to House Building In

House building In the Shan States is
not such an easy matter as 1t looks.
Mrs Leslie Milne. author Of "Shans at
Home" tells how she arranged for the
building Of a bamboo house at Nam
khan. and. though the materials ar
rived. no progress seemed to be made
with the actual construction:
"Wheu | 6rst spoke Of house build
ing / had been asked what to me
seemed an irrelevant question-namely,
the day of the week on which ! was
born. When | answered that It was
late on Saturday night or early on
Sunday morning l did not know that
my reply was of Importance. As time
went on and the bamboos lay I'M
touched. looking like long green snakes
in the grass, complained Of the delay
only to be told that until I could tell
them my birthday they were afraid to
begin work, as the spirits would be
angry If the offerings for the proper
day were not made.

begin. Drawing the anger Of the spir-

dangerous, as the risk was not only
for me. but for the workmen as well

found out of the difficulty. He de

content the spirits Of both Saturday
and Sunday should be made. This
was done, and the building commenced
