Mayor Will Push Button.

AT the conclusion of the presi-
remarks, Mayor Albert
Bollschweiler will push a button
that will throw a bright illumin-
alton over State street from
Washington to Smith street. The
great grotesque pageant will then
be started and things will gener-
ally be set in a whirl. The dem
onstration to follow, it is de-
clared, will rival any similar fete
ever held here. The members of
the State Street Improvement AS
ISOLATION are determined that
their "white way" shall be in
augurated in the proper way and
therefore arranged the opening
on the independence Day, when
the city will witness, beyond q
doubt, the greatest public demon
stration ever attempted anywhere
in this section.

President Thomas F. Burke, of
the State Street Improvement AS
ISOLATION, will be marshal of the
parade. Meyer Leichtman will be
his assistant. Secretary Thomas
Brown, of the association, will
make the address Of the evening,
commencing about 9:45 o'clock.
He will speak from the judges

corner of State and Washington
streets. A large band will be sta
toned there and from the time
Mr., Brown concludes his speech
until President Burke declares
the "white way" officially opened
a few minutes after 10 o'clock,
musical selections will be rem
dered.

ton streets. The merry-makers
with their demonstrations will
parade by them twice. Marshal
Burke and his assistant have de-
cided to form the merry-makers
in line along State street near
Smith street and on the side
streets Whereabouts. Mr.. Burke
will lead the line. He will be fol-
lowed by a band of twelve pieces,
each member of which will be cos
tuned in grotesque uniform.
This celebration will in no way
conflict with the big demonstra-
ton of the city Of which the fire.
works will end about 9:45
o'clock. Plenty of time will be
allowed people to go from the
scene of the fireworks display to
State street, without having them
miss any part of the State street
Mardi Gras. A band will be at
State and Washington streets
from $50 o'clock on to the final
number of the program. From
that time on until midnight there
will be general merry making
along State street. The lights
will be extinguished at midnight
tomorrow, but ordinarily will
burn during the business hours
of the night that the Smith street
"white way" is usually lit up.

SPANISH Law.

The dilatoriness of Spanish law is
almost incredible. A watch was stol-

authorities to give evidence as to the
robbery.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-07-03

When State street becomes a
blaze of light tomorrow night
with the opening of its Great
White Way and Mardi Gras fete,
it will be another instance of the
progressiveness of Perth Amboy
merchants and an important
epoch in the merchantile history
of the city. Not only is the open
ing a great spectacular occasion
for the thousands who will wit
ness it, but it means increased
prosperity for that part of State
street, lying between Smith and
Washington streets. The mer-
chants and members Of the State
Street Improvement Association
are deserving Of praise for their
successful enterprise, as such
movements cannot do otherwise
than advance the city's interests
as a whole and incidentally the
street in particular. Perth Am
boy can now, without contradic-
ton, be termed one of the best
illuminated cities in the state.

Merchants To Reap Benefits.

The merchants, property own
ers and residents along State
street have taken this means of
advertising the thoroughfare. 1t
is proposed after the benefits of
such a campaign have been
proved, to interest others from
Washington street northward,
that the "white way" may be ex-
tended. At the present time mer-
chants along Smith street, from
STATE stYeet Westward aare-talk-
ing of starting a "white way
similar to that on Smith street

prime movers in the actual start

William Allen White contributes an.
other of his brilliant political essays to
, the April American Magazine. He calls
his article "When the World Busts
Through" quoting a line from one of
James WhItcomb Riley's poems. Says
Mr.. White in part:
"Nor many men see even little
way into the grindstone. Murat, roar
ing to the muttud could not have for.
seen the Empire; Washington, al York
town, could not have foresecn the Con-
stitution; Lincoln, at Gettysburg,
could not have forseen our great indus
trial republic, and Bryan, at Chicago,
probably knew as little about the fun
damental political and commercial
revolution he was inadvertently pre-
cipitating with bis crown-of-thorns
speech as any of his hearers. Less
than fifteen years have passed since
Bryan made that speech; it is almost
forgotten. 1t was not much of a speech
to read in cold type. Yet Bryan's
speech, by voicinga wide discomfort,
really started something that has
revolutionized the American attitude
toward business and politics. Because
of our changed attitude IN mind, new
issues have arisen that men considered
freak issues dozen years ago. OF
course, Bryan has not raised them He
knew little aud cared less about them
when he made his rahble-rousing
speech. And perhaps in another sdozen
years these paramount issues will be
forgotten and others occupy the pub
lie mind. For we are moving rapidly.
