EDDYTORIUL

We are a going to dash off this
eddytoriul on the subjeckt of, at
/, Is More Blessed To Give Than To
Receive
Ay Bugle reader who is as flu
milyer with their Bible as we be
with ours will observe that the
subjeckt of this eddytoriu1 is took
from the scripter, but we persoom
that there will be menny readers
who wouldn't know where it come
from if we wassent to en1ighten EN-
as per above.
1t amt been only a cupp1e of
wks ago that Rev. Moore, our be-
loved pastor, preached a sermon on
this same text, and at the time we
heerd the sermon we thort it would
also make a good subjeckt for a
eddytoriu1 and made a note of it
according, SO here it is:
Judging from the way Bingville
folks have treated us sinst we have
been edditor & prop. of the Bugle
for 10, these menny yrs. agone, it
is our humble opinion that there
amt no more than one citizen outen
a hundred in Bingville (and we
amt got only about 800 inhabitants
in Greater Bingville all told, in
clooding men, winmen, Children,
dogs and cats)-we say it's our
opinion that there amt more than
one citizen outen a 100 in Bing-
vile, who believes in his heart that
it is more blessed to give than to
receive.
If they did we calkilate they
would give us sonethinl on back
Subscriptions instid of hanging
onto their wallets like grim deth.
Some of Our subscribers is back
anyWheres from 10 to Is yrs (some
more, some 1ess) and when them as
is back the fartf1est comes to the
Boogle offs and slams down a
quarter or a half doller (but
skeercely ever a whole dollar)
they act as if they was doing us a
turrible big favor and walk out
with their heads in the air still ow-
ing US for 10 or Is yrs.
If it's more blessed to give than
to receive why in thunderashion
don't some of these dead beets
come to time instid of being SIGH
tight wads and stingy cusses, we
ask?
Week after wk they receive the
Bugle and they don't give nothing
for it. In spite of this fackt, how
ever, our expenses goes right on
piling up and increasin until some
times we think shure the sheriff
will git us before sunset. Time

GOOD WORK IN NEW YORK.

1t will evidently go pretty hard with any
person who is placed on trial in New York
at the present time for any serious crime
against the public. Thanks to the fearless
manner in which District Attorney Whitman
has fought 'the system" and the unbiased
manner in which Justice Golf has conducted
the trials, the people have realized that there
is justice, after all, in New York. Jurymen
have awakened to the real conditions and are
doing their part in the reform.
If there is anything that will break the hold
Tammany Hall has on the city at the present
time it is a district attorney and a judge alb
soluely independent of the organization, and a
jury willing to convict anybody, regardless of
affiliations, as long as the evidence warrants
such action.
There is a grand cleanup process now 60
ing on in the metropolis that is bound to do a
great good. It is to be hoped that the work
will continue until the old gangs have been
wiped out and New York has redeemed her
self in the eyes of the nation.

PROGRESSIVES LEARN A LESSON.

Those Progressives who went into the Re
publican primary and captured the regular
Republican nominations last fall are now re-
alizing their mistake. This is particularly
true in Hudson county, where George L. Rec
ord, tn. leader Of the Progressives, succeeded
in nominating a complete Progressive ticket
as regular Republican. The result was that
Hudson county had no separate Progressive
ticket at the last election.
Now, when the vote is totaled up at Trenton,
it is found that the Progressives have lost sec
ond place as a party by a comparatively few
votes. Naturally, as the Progressives of Hud-
son went under the name of Republicans, their
votes must be credited to the Republican par
ty, This vote, however, is sufficient to turn
the tide one way or the other. If the votes
given the Progressives in Hudson should be
counted for the Progressive party it would
easily give the Progressive party second place.
We do not see, however, how this can be
brought about, and as a result the Progress
ives are held back. The lesson is plain that
when a party decides to go alone it should
make it complete and not try to sail under any
false~colors.

P. R. R.

1t is announced that the Pennsylvania rail
road has already made plans for extensive i'm
provements in the city of Trenton. Several
grade crossings are to be abolished and canal
bridges are to go also, much to the relief of
the public there. All this means that the
Pennsylvania railroad is getting active. Just
what the future has in store for Perth Amboy
is yet to be known.
The Pennsylvania has a big terminal at
South Amboy; it also owns a large tract of
land opposite the Central station here, besides
having a right of way parallel with the Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey all the way
through the city. These facts, together with
the knowledge that the gr.de crossings in
Perth Amboy are the most dangerous of any
the New York & Long Branch division,
where hundreds of express trains are run dur
ing the summer, and that the old State street
terminal is badly needed for freight exclusive
ly, give us reason to believe that it will not be
long before something definite is known in the
way of improvements here.

AMERICAN REPRESENTATION.

It is gratifying, indeed, that the metropoli-
tan press is taking up the matter of proper
representation of the United States govern
ment in Turkish waters. As is clearly pointed
out, it is not altogether complimentary to the
United States that American citizens in Tur-
key and other points Of the Near East have to
look to foreign troops for protection.
While there is no doubt that friendly pow
ers are very glad to render service to Ameri-
cans, yet this country, with a navy such as we
have, is fully competent to take care of itself
and it's citizens anywhere. With all the bat
tleships that are scattered along the Atlantic
coast the United States should be we'll repre-
sented in Turkish waters. We should have a
fleet there capable of steaming to any section
where there is danger. 1t should not be said
that Americans are compelled to look to for
eign powers for protection in such a crisis.
Two cruisers have been sent to the Medi-
terranean, but they are entirely inadequate to
properly represent their government, especial
ly when we recall the enormous fleet as was
seen recently in New York harbor. The
question naturally arises, are these boats
merely for show and parade, or are they to be
put to practical use?
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-12-02
A OUTCOME.

It is a matter Of qualification that the State
Riparian Commission has declared that 1t will
sell the riparian rights at the foot Of our
streets to only the city. It is also pleasing
that the attorney general has given an opinion
to the effect that the city can lease unused
land to a private corporation.
This means that the city will control it's
street ends, which is absolutely essential to the
future welfare of the citizens, but at the same
time can lease any unused land along the wa
t%er-front, so that the people can derive the
benefit from any corporation that chooses to
locate.
The EVENING NEWS will welcome a new
145ffy as we have insisted that competition is
greatly to be desired. We have felt, how
ever, that the first essential was to nave the
city in absolute control of what property it
now has on the waterfront. The decision of
the riparian commission settles things in a
very satisfactory manner. The city can still
maintain control Of it's street ends, but at the
same time, is privileged to make a liberal
lease to the proposed ferry company so that
we may also enjoy competition between this
city and Tottenville.
Another feature in connection with the de-
cision is that it will require the appointment
Of a harbor commission to look after the city
property along the waterfront. Any city that
has such a valuable asset as Perth Amboy's
harbor should not let it be neglected. While
there may not be a great deal that the harbor
board can do at once, the mere fact that it is
to be appointed is a big step in the right di-
~rection. We trust, however, that the new
board will see it's way clear to construct a mu-
nicipal pier before many months have passed.

CONCRETE FOR ROAD BUILDING.

People Of New Jersey will watch with inter
est the experiment now being tried in the
northern part of the state with concrete as a
material for building roads. The enormous
expense of maintaining and repairing macad-
am and the tar-and- stone roads has driven the
state and county officials to search for some
more suitable method of meeting the present
day demands upon hard surface roads.
The worst piece of highway in Warren
county has been selected for the experiment.
Five thousand feet of this road is being
paved with concrete. While this new ma
terial, as far as roadways are concerned, may
be a success regarding automobiles, there is
reason to believe that it will be found insult
able for horse-drawn vehicles, because Of it's
extremely hard surface. The horses hoofs
connot help but suffer from the continual
pounding on q concrete base.
Ii a dirt roadway could be maintained on
one side of the concrete, as is the case on many
macadam roads, the horses could travel with
ease and not receive the jolt that it seems they
will get by driving on concrete. However, as
it is absolutely necessary for the state to ar
rive at some solution to the present road
problems, the experiment is along the right
lines and it would be a welcome relief from
the present expense if found successful.
