A GOOD PRECEDENT.

Acting Mayor Garretson has estab-
lished an excellent precedent in max
ing his selection for a member of the
police force. Perth Amboy needs the
best men to be obtained for this
work as is evident from the numer-
Gus charges that have been brought
against some of the policemen on the
present force, for being drunk while
on duty. Watching the city at night,
guarding against robberies and fires,
is no small task and if there is any
position which the people need sober
and conscientious men it is to do pa
troll duty.
There are always lots of appli-
| cants for appointment on the police
force, but nine-tenths of the men
who apply are not fit for the work.
| Not only should there be a mental
and physical examination for the ap-
plicants, but the mans past record
should also be taken into considera-
ton SO that the people may know
what to expect after the appointment
is made.
Just at present New York city is
having an investigation and it has
been found that many of the men
now on the police force have Grim
inal records. 1t Is hardly to be ex-
| pected that men of this class will be
! above temptation of graft which is
| continually Haunted in the face OF
every policeman, or who will protect
| the interest of the city in the manner
that it should be looked after.
There is something more than poll
tics and political pull to be consid-
cred in appointing policemen and we
believe Acting Mayor Garretson has
established a precedent that should
be adopted hereafter.

SELLING SURPLUS STOCK.

We have heard a great many ar
guments in favor of the protective
tariff, but it remains for the Plain
field Courier-News to give us some
thing really new and novel.
The Courier-News quotes Senator
Colby as saying that he views with
alarm the fact that certain products
of our country are sold in foreign
countries at the price somewhat I'M
der the price of this country. He
may not forget" the Courier-News
continues, "but does not say that
getting rid of a surplus stock en-
ables manufacturers to keep their
plant running on full time and pay
American wages, the highest paid in
the world"
But it does not seem to occur to
the Courier-News that if the manu-
facturers have such a surplus stock
that they are forced to reduce the
price in order to get rid of it, that
they might give the American buy
ers the benefit of this reduction in
stead of sending it over to Europe to
be sold at a reduced price. In other
words, according to the Courier
News's argument, the Americans are
forced to pay the same price regard
less of the market conditions, where
as the foreign buyer gets the bene-
fit of the reduction when the mar
ket becomes overloaded.
If this is what protective tariff
does for the Aemrican buyer it is
about time there vas a change SO
that we, in this country, can receive
the benefit instead of the European,

have his letter in reference to the
boxing matches that have taken
place in this city for years past with
the full knowledge of everyone. No
one will deny that, technically, the
Law regarding prize fighting was be
ing violated, although all who have
seen the matches which have taken
place in this city, agree that they
have been comparatively harmless
and are merely exhibitions of the
manly art" that is advocated by no
less a national leader than Theodore
Roosevelt, and which are part of the
exercises in practically all physical
training for the army and nayy and
other places where men are COM
PEELED to develop physical strength
and endurance.
With the notice from the prose-
cutor, however, steps were at once
taken by the local authorities, and
these boxing matches have nov
ceased. What else is there going on
in Perth Amboy that is a violation
Of the law and is likely to be called
to the attention of the prosecutor in
order to have the local authorities
put an end to it? To say the least
the situation is not altogether COM
plimentary to Perth Amboy.

HAVE A PLAN.
r. F. WHITE, Collector.

If you were to sit down and lay
out a well-defined plan of action for
each days work, with the ultimate
goal of success before you, what
would you include in it? You would
have a course Of education in the
plan would you not? And then you
would specify that certain hours
should be given to it each day. If
your goal was to be a first class busi-
ness man you would try to hit the
bulls eye by taking a thorough
course in business training.
If you are a young lady wishing
to become independent, earn a good
living, and be on the high road to
advancement, you would be sure OF
it by becoming a skilled stenogra-
pher or bookkeeper.

NOT

Isn't it somewhat of a reflection
on local authorities that every en-
forcement of the law that has taken
place in this city recently, has been
done after notice has been received
of the violations from the county
prosecutor?
The question is going to be raised
before long whether or not the
Perth Amboy officials are capable OF
enforcing the law, themselves, or
whether they have to have the
wrong-doing pointed out to them be-
fore they can take action. 1t is also
pertinent to ask, how long before the
prosecutor will be notifying us of
other violations?
1t is not so long ago hat the
prosecutor sent word that gambling
was going on in this city in defiance
of the law, crap games being particu-
larry complained of. The prosecutor
is not the only one who has known
that gambling of this kind has been
taking place in Perth Amboy for
some time. Judging from the man
ner in which the police went after
acted, they, also, evidently knew
that things were not as they should
be. AS soon as the authorities here
found that Assistant Prosecutor
Stricken, who was in court 1t the
time the crap shooters were being
arraigned, meant business, 1t is re-
ported that the members of the local
police force vent directly to some oil
the leading gamblers who were in
the audience listening to the pro
c~eedings, and told them that they
would have to stop their games at
once.
If the police were so familiar with
these men and could so readily pick
them out to notify them that they
would have to stop after the prose
cutor had sent word, why was it that
they waited for the prosecutor be-
fore speaking, especially if a mere
word from the officers would bring
about the desired result.
Closely following the action of the
prosecutor in regard to gambling we
