HARD LUCK.

A writer in Farm and Fireside, a
well.known agricultural public alton,
makes some suggestions to eastern
farmers that will apply also In other
parts of the country. The article
says In part:

had an interesting article on the development
of the waterfront a Baltimore. We desire to
say more at another time about what Balti-
more is doing. 1t is sufficient now to state
that the city has thus far spent $6,161 900 on
municipal docks and has 100000 more
available for the enlargement of the system
including recreation piers. Another signif-
cant fact is that the income from these docks
owned by the city of Baltimore is 5 per cent
on the investment.
When Perth Amboy is asked to spend a
few thousand dollars in securing land along
the waterfront it is not as if the money was
being placed where people could see no direct
advantage. Every dollar spent in securing
revenue to the taxpayers, not only in keeping
up the interest on the money borrowed to
secure the land, but as an income for future
development, all Of which will add material
ly to the prosperity of the city.
Let us by all means have the riparian rights
at the foot of ALL our streets without delay.
If it is felt that five streets are all that can
be purchased at this time, this, at least, is pro-
gress. But the intention of securing the rights
at the foot of all the other streets in the near
future should not be lost sight of. Perth Am
boy, these days, is planning for the future.
Judging from the rapid development of the
waterways the benefits to be derived will soon
be realized.

LIGHT THE

During the past week the EVENING NEWS
has had standing at the head of it's editorial
column a demand on the Central railroad for
better lights at the station here. We intend
to keep something of this kind constantly be-
fore the people until the object is accom-
plished.
AS if to emphasize the niggardliness of this
railroad corporation we have the ,frightful &C
cident at the Sewaren crossing, a few miles
above this city, in which several lives were lost
because of inadequate protection of grade
crossings. 1t seems to be a fixed policy of
practically all railroads that they will do
nothing for the people unless compelled to.
Must the people of Perth Amboy wait until
some one has been held up, robbed or other
wise attacked on the Central station platform,
or the path leading to the station, before the
depot is suitably lightedi
The accident at Sewaren, Saturday night,
could have been prevented by the expendi-
ture of a little money in building a tunnel
under the track for the roadway. Likewise,
by a small annual appropriation the station
in this city and the path leading thereto, can
be lighted so that people can see what is
going on while waiting for a train, or alight-
ing therefrom. The time for Perth Amboy
to insist upon lights at the station is now,
before anything happens which will sYock
the community.
1t would seem to be the duty of the Board
of Aldermen, if no other body will take the
matter up, to call the attention of the Public
Utility Commission to the outrageous state of
affairs at the Central station in this city and
see that we have adequate light at night.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-12-17
SECURING STREET ENDS.

In securing the riparian rights for the foot
OF High street, as well as for the ends of the
streets already planned for, the Board of
Aldermen is taking a step that will ultim ately
result IN great advantage to the city. While
1t may not be possible to do it all at once. the
city should secure the riparian lands at the
foot of every street, regardless of what the
present prospects may be for development.
While it seems unjust that a municipality
should be forced to pay for these rights at
the foot of its own streets, yet it is an estab-
hshed principle for the state and to put off
making these purchases is only to increase the
cost for the taxpayers. Under present condi-
tons the city is fortunate in securing the
rights at so reasonable a figure as $40 per lin
cal foot. Having secured the streets already
mentioned, including High street, plans should
be made for taking over the rights at the foot
OF the other highways at the earliest possible
moment.
"A striking example of what other cities are
dong along his line is given by a special cor
respondent OF the Newark Evening News, who
Is accompanying the National Association of
Port Authorities, recently organized in New
York, on a tour of inspection of the various
ports along the Atlantic coast. In SATURDAYS

CALL FOR THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

The following reminder from the secretary
of the State Charities Aid Association is par
ticularly timely at this season of the year.
"The holiday season is approaching and all
benevolent and charitably inclined persons are
having their minds directed in many ways
whereby some measure of happiness may be
given to many poor people who have few
friends and limited resources. / would like
to remind all such persons not to overlook a
class of dependents who are living alone and
forgotten. I refer to the aged and inirm de-
pendents. Some of these old people are being
boarded at the cost of municipalities; and
some are leading lonesome lives in our aims
houses. Few visits are made by ~kindhearted
and sympathetic people to our almshouses.
These old people have but a short time to live
and were a little holiday spirit to reach them,
it would brighten their days. They are but
children of an older growth and therefore
would enjoy a Merry Christmas as much as
the poorest child in the land.n

CHILD LABOR AND THE COURTS.

The revelations concerning the conditions
in the factories of New York state and in
the tenement districts where child labor is
employed in it's worst form, recalls the cam
the recent election for social uplift of the
masses. 1t will be remembered that one of
Mr.. Roosevelt's principal planks is the re
call Of court decisions when they effect social
conditions of the people.
Thepformer President has never forgotten
the decision of the New York courts in re-
gard to the bake shops of New York. A law
had been passed by the legislature limiting
the hours Of labor and otherwise regulating
employment. Mr.. Roosevelt maintains that
no body of men, whether they are judges or
not, has the right to prevent the people fix
ing their own regulations in matters effecting
their social well being. He insists that when
a court declares such a law unconstitutional it
should be the privilege of the people, after de-
liberation, to decide by vote as to whether or
not they will have such a law placed on the
statute books. He claims that behind the
courts and all government are the people
themselves and it is their privilege to have
what they want.
There is much Indignation throughout New
York because of the employment of little child
rem, some of them hardly old enough to walk,
in the various trades. There is a demand for
state laws wiping out this evil. But what as
surance nave we that when such a law is
passed the supreme court, consisting of a com
paratively few men, will not declare it I'M
constitutional, thereby depriving the people
Of bringing about the reforms so greatly
needed.
Having declared similar laws unconstitu-
tional there is reason to believe the same
action would be taken in the other case. The
remedy seems to lie in the method suggested
by Mr.. Roosevelt, whereby the people, them
selves, shall decide what is constitutional as
far as matters effect the social conditions are
to be concerned.
AS time goes on the people will see the
force of Mr.. Roosevelt's argument and in the
end we believe his cause will succeed.

JUDGE Robt. r. Reid.

Elsewhere in this issue Of The
Chief will be found the card of Judge
Robert r. Reid, of Tangipahoa parish
in which he announces his candidacy
for associate justice Of the supreme
court, subject to the action Of the
Democratic voters Of the fourth dis
trict, at the second primary election
to be held on Oct. 8. While at The
Chief office d few days ago Judge
Reid expressed himself as being con
fident of victory in the second prl-
mary. He has been assured of the
support OF Judges Caillouet, Gulon,
Pugh and Breaux, the unsuccessful
contestants for the same office in
the first primary, and this support
added to that which he had in the
first primary he believes viii make
him exceedingly strong in the sec
ond. Judge Reid says that he does
not intend to hold meetings nor make
speeches during his campaign but
that it is his intention to go about
from place to place throughout the
district and meet as many voters as
possible and submit his candidacy to
them in person. During his brief
stay in this parish, Judge Reid made
q very favorable impression on the
people whom he met.

A TARIFF ORACLE.

Senator Ollie James of Kentucky.
permanent chairman Of the Demo
cratic national convention at Balti-
more, declared in his address to that
body that he favored the removal OF
the sugar tariff because the people of
the United States would then get SUI
gar two cents a pound cheaper than
they now nave 10 pay for it,.
The average rate of duties levied
OH sugar imported into the United
States is s1.65 PEI 100 pounds, or
about 2-3 cents a pound, with a
reduction of 20 per cent in favor Of
Cuban sugar, when forms the great
bulk Of the imporIations liable to
duty therefore, the average duty
collected Al little over 4
Fl, cents poi1n9. bile the hest
rate ever e1acIess Isl $50 cents q
pound on sugar above No. is Dutch
standard id color or which has un-
dergone a refining process, very lit
tie of this grade being imported. Ne
imported sugar is subjected to q
duty as high as two cents pound,
hence consumers could not hope to
even if the benefit of the. entire
abolished duty accu1ed to them.
The abolition of the sugar duty
would place the domestic market
absolutely under the control of the
foreign producers and importing re.
| timers, and experience has demon
strated that under, such a condi.
| ton the consumer does not get any
share Of the tariff reduction, much
| less all Of it. Coffee, for instance.
| is higher in price now that it is on
the free list than when it paid a
| three-cent duty. Shoes made from
free hides are higher than when "a
fair duty was imposed on imported
hides for the benefit of the Ameri.
can farmer and stock raiser. Oleo
stearin has not been reduced in price
by the abolition OF the 20 per cent
| duty on the imported article, and
| many other similar cases in point
could be cited to prove the fallacy
Of the proposition advanced by the
chairman of the Democratic national
convention.
II the sugar duties are wiped out
as Senator James, Speaker Clark
Congressman Underwood, Colonel
Bryan and their associates desire, il
is possible the prices charged the
consumer in this country would be
depressed just low enough and just
long enough to drive the domestic
producer out Of business. Then W
would go the iprices again as high
as the market n1anipulators chose
Ito send them.
This is the state Of affairs that
will result from the success Of the
policy advocated By the distinguish
I'd Democrats who are guiding the
course OF their party in congress and
The nation.
