NEW BRUNsWICK's GROWTH.

New Brunswick is feeling very "cockey"
these days because a new census has been
completed by the police department of that
city, showing the population of 27,456. This
is a big jump over the official census taken
by the federal government in 1910, when the
population was placed at 23,38S. Ever since
this federal census was announced the people
at the county seat had insisted that justice
was not done and that their city had grown a
great deal more than they had been given
credit for. 1t is natural, therefore, that they
should look upon the census just completed by
the police department as a vindication.
But even with the new figures before them
New Brunswick must still accept second place
In the county. Perth Amboy's official figures
for 1910 are 32,131, and it Is fair to state that
should a census be taken at the present time
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-10-11

these figures would be advanced to at least
$1,000 and probably more.
We do not believe that anyone will dis
pute the figures that have been presented by
the police department of New Brunswick, be-
caussthere- is-no doubt that the county seat
has been making progress. But we do not
believe it is possible for New Brunswick to
ever overtaKe this city in the matter of pop
~ulation, as our location is such that we have
a decided advantage over the county seat
town. With the opening of the new water
ways Row under way or being contemplated,
Perth Amboy is certain to advance by leaps
and bounds and while New Brunswick will
also Share Some of the prosperity, it will not
be in the same proportion as that which comes
to a port city.
We congratulate the people of New Bruins
wick on the showing made by the new census
and fully agree with them that it is more In
keeping with the true conditions there than
the former census.

THE PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN.

Something unusual in the way of politics
was the tour made yesterday by the Prohlbl-
ton candidates who are running for office in
- Middlesex county. The Prohibitionists seem
to have awakened to the fact that there is
something more in a campaign than merely
being nominated. If they have a cause worth
being presented to the people they should
present it in an up-to-date manner and IN a
way that will attract attention and win votes.
At least it makes the party something more
than a mere joke. It shows that the candi-
dates take themselves seriously, at any rate,
whether anyone else does or not.
Yesterday the county candidates for the
Prohibition party in Middlesex county, ac-
companied by a national speaker, started at
- s1ssS- Brunswick and visited every
town of any consequence in the county. While
their stops were necessarily brief, and while
in many places there were no local committees
70 make arrangements and get out a crowd,
nevertheless the Prohibitionists have made it
certain that they are in the running and in
tend to poll as large a vote as possible No
vember 8.
IL ID SOmeLnlnS very UNUSUAL loI JIG Iio-
hibitionists to even go so far as to string out
a banner and to engage headquarters where
the campaign work can be carried on. This is
being done in the borough of Metuchen, where
the Prohibitionists are the most active. OF
course, no one expects the candidates on this
= ticket to win, and we believe that as long as
: they stick to their policy of absolute prohi-
bition without quarters at the very outset,
: they will never succeed. It is interesting, how
ever, to have a campaign in which the Pro-
hibitionists are enough awake to really make
a@ight. and tell the people what they stand for.
s. Perhaps the credit for this enthusiasm and
. activity is largely due to Rev. j. G.. Mason,
the pastor of the Presbyterian church, of Me-
tuchen, who is a candidate for state senator
on the Prohibition ticket. DR.. Mason is a
fighter when he sets out to do a thing. Hith-
erto he has been an ardent supporter OF the
Republican ticket, but he has become disgust
ed with the old parties and instead of going
into the Progressive ranks he has cast his lot
with the Prohibitionists. Just how big a fol
lowing DR.. Mason has in politics and how far
they are willing to go with him, remains to

ON THE LID.

Just what the effort to put the lid on tight
throughout Middlesex county this coming
Sunday will amount to, remains to be seen
Practically every man who walks about Oh
Sunday is convinced in his own mind that
the excise laws are being violated, not only
in this city but elsewhere. IF he should be
called upon to back his convictions with proof
it would doubtless be impossible for him to
do so. The law has been drawn IN such g
manner that all the advantages are with the
LIQUOR dealers in such cases and 1t is exceed
ingly hard to prove a case, even when a per
SON knows absolutely that violations have
taken place.
To any ordinary citizen it would be sui
6cient evidence that a saloon is doing busl-
ness when he sees men in a more or less In
J toxicated condition coming and going from 6
side door of a drinking place. Likewise, III
looking into a saloon if men are seen drinking
at a bar, or if the blinking Of glasses is heard
# would be evidence sufficient for any ordl-
nary man. But when the liquor dealer is
hailed into court and puts up a defense that he
was serving some soft stuff to a friend or two,
how is it to be proven otherwiseY
However, a great Improvement may be
made in the enforcement of excise laws, even
if the lid cannot be kept down tight for all
time. For instance, many Of the drinking
places, while technically obeying the law by
exposing their bar on Sunday, SO arrange
their various brewery signs that are IN the
windows, or the posters they have hanging
there for advertising purposes, as to make it
impossible to see inside unless one goes di-
rectly against the window and makes a spe-
cial effort to get a view of the interior.
Then, too, it is decidedly unfair to exempt
the hotels from this feature Of the law, re-
During an exposed bar room. Many hotels,
as such, are mere jokes. Yet, by not being
compelled to expose their bars they are given
a.great advantage over the ordinary saloon
There is no doubt that a great reform can be
brought about in this direction.
The fact, however, that the grand jury has
taken up this matter with the executives OF
the various cities and towns in the county
is a good sfgn. It is also encouraging te
know that, according to the best belief, the
action of the grand jury was taken after com
plant had been made by certain liquor deaf
ers who are strictly obeying the Sunday ex
else laws. It is evident that there are some
saloonkeepers who really desire to close OF
Sunday. and. these men should be given thu
protection that they are entitled to. Will
such a feeling even among only a few OF the
liquor dealers, it means that the business il
being put on a higher plane.
With this example before them other liquor
dealers may follow suit and once the majority
of them find that they can get along just as
we'll by. obeying the law, the practice will be
come general and it will not be long before
the-county is law abiding as it should be.

THE FABLE OF THE

Chapter III.

And it came to pass that the High

of Bostwick. the Pharisee, appeared

many Oil Vessels that cast many
shadows upon his chariot. and this
Pharisee maketh unto the High
Priest an offering-of Big Smile.
and Bostwick's Man Servant, who
was Publican. appeared also bear
ing q large OIL Vessel that cast
NO shadow, and this Publican also
maketh unto the High Priest an Of
fering Of = Big Smile. and the VI
Ion vanished. and the High Priest
was pushed.
And the next day the High Priest
wrote an epistle to the King. say
ing: II gave Ten Talents Of Oil
to a Pharisee named Bostwick, and
he has wasted It: some Of his Yes
sells cast Shadows and others do not.
and this proof IL sufficient that he
