Anyhow, there she was in that shabby.
dingy room, and must say she was
pleasing specimen Of what England can
produce in the way Of bonny, wholesome
womanhood.
She was very sunburned and had a

some years ago Of being a rum hole.
At one time this city had more
saloons in proportion to population
than any place in the state. Strang-
ers coming to our city saw saloons
IN practically every corner. Great,
hideous bear signs greeted the eye
in every direction. Thanks to a law
passes by the legislature a few years
ago, these beer signs were abolished.
There is one, however, on the hotel
referred to, that il no credit to the
owner and should, in all decency,
be removed. But we are not dis
cussing signs now, we are interested
in preventing two of our five corners
being occupied by saloons.
1t was with a great deal of salts
faction that we were informed that
when the new building was being
erected on the Buchanan property,
that under no circumstances would
the place be occupied by a liquor
house. 1t would be equally as graft
flying to have it announced that the
new building, to be erected on the
northeast corner, would also not be
leased for such a purpose.
Perth Amboy is a. growing city,
with hundreds of outsiders coming
here every day. Our reputation as
a city must be considered. 1t is to
our interests to make the city as
attractive as possible. This cannot
be accomplished by leasing our prin-
cipal corners for barrooms. Now is
the time to act in order to prevent
this disgrace. The people of the city
should arouse themselves and insist
that the five points be saved from
any further encroachment on the
part of the saloons.
We believe that if the owners of
this proposed new structure had i'm
pressed upon them the popular feel
ing that a saloon was not wanted at
this location by the city at large
they would willingly consent to bar
such a business from the premises.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-04-01
SAVE THE CITY THIS DISGRACE.

SAVE THE CITY THIS DISGRACE.
1t is time for the people of this
city to give serious consideration as
to whether or not they want another
saloon at the corner of State and
Smith streets. There is every reason
to believe that the new structure to
be erected on the northeast corner
will be a reality within a few months.
We understand that of all the bid
hders for the store at the corner, a
nqees the most
money and II the owners look Mt the
matter purely from a mercehary
standpoint the place is likely to go
to this concern, provided, of course,
that a license can be secured.
The excise conditions in Perth
Amboy have been notorious for some
time. The fight is to make them bet
ter rather than have them become
worse. We are proud of the growth
Of this city and point with pride to
the large number of new buildings
that have been erected. The five
points are particularly conspicuous
and the whole city is deeply interest
ed regarding the character of the
places that occupy these rners
On one corner is located a hotel
that has been in existence for a great
many years. Whether or not 1t is
desirable to have it there is not the
question now. This hotel has become
thoroughly established from long
usage and until radical changes are
made In our license law it is likely
to continue. We maintain, however,
that one such place is sufficient for
the most prominent site in the city.
THERE ARE AT THE PRESENT
TINE SIX BARROOMS WITHIN
ONE BLOCK EACH WAY OF THE
FIVE CORNERS. It cannot be said,
therefore, that public necessity de-
mands an additional place. Anyone
desiring to ~patronize a saloon does
not have to walk far in order to
crafty his desire.
Perth Amboy is endeavoring to
live down the reputation she had

THE SAME OLD TACTICS.

1t is not hard to credit the report
that Robert Carson and Theodore
Strong, the leaders of the two rival
| Republican factions in this county,
have Joined hands in an efforts to
| elect a Taft delegate to the national
convention from this district. 1t
will be noted that it Is "Dory"
Strong's man whom the delegate is
to favor. 1t Is always thus. Strong
and Carson have for many years past
INDUCED in all kinds of bitter and
sarcastic remarks about each other
the months between elections.
Carson has urged his friends to take.
bhsaad- in the fight ~againsIaas H.
and has delighted ~infierraat work
they have been able 70 accomplish
to down this wOuld-De cSunty boss.
When the time came for tbs, election,
however, Carson, Howell and other
leaders of their faction almost invar-
iably have patched up their differ
ences with Strong for the time be-
ing, and concocted a deal whereby
they divided the Offices, making
themselves safe and secure, while the
friends who have been encouraged
to oppose Strong have been left
high and dry with the choice of
either belittling themselves by
crawling in the same as Car
son and Howell have always done,
or standing by their guns and being
pushed outside the breastworks as
far as the party organization is
concerned.
In spite of the fact that Colonel
Roosevelt twice appointed Carson
collector of the port Of Perth AM
boy, where he obtained a big salary
for little work, and in spite of the
fact that President Taft threw him
down and replaced him by one of the
henchmen of "Dory" Strong-in
spite Of these facts, we say, Carson
is now reported to have kissed the
palm that smote him and Is ready
to again perform his mental acts of
servitude by falling into the pro-
gram mapped out by "Dory" Strong
In order to send Howell or some 9th
err willing person, to the Republican
convention as a Taft delegate.
The whole thing Is disgusting to
true Republicans. 1t is no wonder
the party has gone to pieces abso-
lutely in this county. Until the
party can get new leaders In whom
the people can trust and who will
be neither a dictators nor a crawlers,
there is-little chance of success at
the polls. Middlesex needs some of
the Roosevelt spirit in order to
bring the Republican party out of
the hands of the bosses and special
interests and restore it to the peo-
pie.

lsmay Willing to Testify.

O8"ay "SNsUS " 'SoN"y'
J. Bruce Ismay, managing director
of the International Mercantile com.
pany, which owned the Titanic, is said
by some passengers to have been one
of the first to get into lifeboat, but
this is denied by Ismay.
Stunned by the immensity Of the
tragedy, he had little to say, except
that be had heard of the investiga-
ton which the United States senate
had begun, and expressed his full will
lingness to assist the senate commit
tee in its inquiry.
He agreed to appear before the
committee here today. The surviving
passengers arc unanimous that the
unbelievable" happened. Tie voyage
had been pleasant and uneventtul.
The Titanic had been making good
time and all accounts agree that at
the time of the night disaster s!a was
apparently going at its usual rate at
from 81 to % knots an hour. Quar-
termaster Moody, who was at the
helm, said the ship was making IL
knots. and that officers We're under
orders at that time to keep up the
speed in the hope of making record
passage as it was the liners maiden
voyage.
These orders were being carried out
in face of the knowledge that the
steamer was in the vicinity OF the
great icebergs sweeping down from
the north. That very afternoon, ac-
cording to the record of the hydro
graphic Office, the Titanic Telayed
ashore wireless warning from steam.
or Amerika that an unusual field OF
packed ice and bergs menaced navi-
cation off the banks.
Passengers Confident Of Safety.
It was a clear and starlight night
as all survivors described the Weat1-
e: and the great ship sped through
the quiet seas, with the officers con-
fident, even though an iceberg should
be seen, the vessel could be controlled
in ample time, and the passengers
rested in full confidence in tleir tenn
porary quarters in the largest and
most magnificent vessei ever con.
structed, that they We're as safe as
a. their own firesides.
This confidence was emphasized
in the stories of nearly all the survi-
vors that when the crash did come
there was practically no excitement.
There were many who felt anxious
enough to go on deck to inquire as
to what had happened. bu: were it,
tie perturbed when they learned the
ship had "only struck an iceberg" 1t
appeared to be a glancing blow and

"The board of trade rules allow for
entirely too any people in each boat
to permit the same to be properly
handled. On the Titanic the boat
deck was about IS feet above the
water and consequently passengers
were required to embark before low

operations, and preventing the taking

would hold.

and officers should be armed at boat

in the fog and ice as the damage II

to be less.
"In conclusion We suggest an in

commend the passage of identical
laws providing for the safety of all
at sea, and we urge the United States

were observed, and should be con.

at first there was no indications Of a
serious accident.
A group OF men at cards in tie
smoking room sent one OF their num-
Der to look out of the window, and
when he came back with the an
nouncement that the boat had grazed
an iceberg, the party went on with
the game, but it was never finished.
The stoppage of the engines gave
notice of mole than collision, the
effect being as one survivor put it.
"like stopping of loud ticking clock"
Overconfdent passengers were not
brought to the slightest realization
that the collision might mean serious
danger until the call ran through tho
ship, "all passengers on deck vita
life belts on" Captain Smith, it is
said, was not on the bridge when the
collision occurred, but when hurried
ly summoned by the first officer he
took charge of what seemed to be a
hopeless situation. In a manner the
passengers praise him as being calm,
' resolute and efficient to the last.
Stirring Naratives Told.
One of the most stirring narratives
of the action, and the description Of
the scenes that followed the collision
was told by L. Beasley, a Cambridge
university man, who was one Of the
surviving second cabin passengers.
"Tle tseamer lay just as if she was
waiting an order to go on again while
some trifling matter was being ad-
justed,' he said, "but in few min
utes We saw the covers lifted from the
boats and crews allotted them, stand
ing by ready to lower them to water.
"Presently We heard orders, all
men stand back and all ladies retire
to the next deck below the smoking
room deck, or B deck. The men stood

passing slowly up and down. The
boats were swung out to the level of
the r deck. where all the ladies' had
collected. The ladies' got in quietly
with the exception Of some who re-
fused to leave their husbands. In
some cases they were torn from them
and pushed into the boats.
"All this time there were no traces
of any disorder, no panic or rush for
boats, and no scenes of women Sob
