MASTER.

The New York Sun is greatly worried over
the part that William Jennings Bryan will
play in the coming administration. On Sun
day, following the conference which took
place between Wilson and Bryan last Satur-
day, the Sun contained the following at the
head of it's editorial column:
The defeated: William j. Bryan-once,
twice and thrice.
The elected: Woodrow Wilson.
The question: Who is to be master within
the Democracy's own house?
If the Sun knew Woodrow Wilson as we'll as
it pretends to know him it would not ask such
a question as who is master within the Democ-
racy's own house.
When Governor Wilson was elected chief
executive of this state he promised the people
that he would be governor in every sense Of
the word and wouIu also be the party leader.
No one can say that he has not made good.
He intends to carry out the same policy in
Washington and there is no doubt that he is a
big enough man to do so.

THE HOURS.

Mayor Garretson's intention to occupy the
mayors office at the city hall at certain def
mite periods will meet with popular approval.
and a private office fitted out for the mayor,
that room has been practically u%noccupied.
Although an adequate salary has been paid
the chief executive of the city for several
years, there has been no definite place where
he could be seen or where the people could
meet him to present their causes regarding
municipal affairs. With a salary of $1,000 a
year there are certain demands which the pub
lie have a right to make of the mayor and we
believe one of these is an opportunity to meet
him at certain fixed hours.
While the announcement Of Mayor Garret-
son covers only nights on which the council
committee meets or during the council meet
ings proper, it would be well if he could find
a convenient hour each day to occupy his office
and let it be known to the public when and
where they can find him. No doubt he will
meet with a great many complaints for which
there is no'remedy and will receive consider
able abuse, yet that is something that goes
with the office and doubtless was discounted
before he consented to become a candidate.
Whether anything can be done for the peo-
pie or not, if they are permitted to lay their
cause before some city official in authority it
means a great deal to them and the fact that
they have had a courteous hearing will often
carry great weight.

H NEW DIRECTORY.

Work is soon to be started on a new direc-
tory for 1918 in Perth Amboy. This is a val
liable book for this city and vicinity and the
compilers of the volume should have the sup
port of every citizen, especially the business
men.
Directory making is not as profitable as
some would think, and in many cities of the
smaller size they have proven a failure. Every
one must admit the excellence of the directory
that was issued last year. It was such a big
improvement over those that nave appeared
heretofore that there is no comparison. This
and he showed that he knows his business.
The directory has bene of great assistance to
everyone who has had dealings in Perth Am
boy, yet owing to the progress of the city
many new Corners have moved in, and with the
changing of residences among those who al
ready lived here, the directory for 1912 has
become a back number. 1t is, therefore, with
much satisfaction that we are notified that
work is about to be started on a new one for
the coming year.
By keeping the directory up to date, facil-
tiles for doing business are greatly increased.
Let everyone give all the assistance they can
to those who have charge of this important
work.

SOUTH AMBoY IMPROVEMENTS.

BY purchasing the row of properties along
Broadway in South Amboy, which i'm
mediately joins the present right Of way of the
New York and Long Branch railroad, that
company proves that it has elaborate plans for
improvement in the near future. We cannot
imagine why it would go to the enormous ex-
pense of buying the heart of the business sec
ton of such a city as South Amboy unless it
plans to elevate the tracks through that place.
A serious problem in elevation, however, is
presented by what has been known as the
Pennsylvania crossing. Here are scores of
tracks leading down to the Pennsylvania coal
docks on which coal trains are continually
drilling. If the New York and Long Branch
plans to eliminate every source of danger, and
to make it possible for trains to keep up their
speed throughout the entire length of it's line
1t will find some way Of avoiding a grade
crossing with the Pennsylvania.
At the present time the New York and Long
Branch passes under these Pennsylvania
tracks. To elevate, therefore, would bring them
at grade. 1t is possible that the intention is to
elevate the tracks after passing under the
Pennsylvania line. 1t would seem, however,
that the ideal way would be for track depres-
sion throughout the city instead of going
above the streets.
The improvements in South Amboy do not
effect this city because the New York and
Long Branch road ends al the northern end of
the bridge over the Raritan river. ThrougL
this city the tracks are owned by the Central
railroad, although as far as Woodbridge juno
ton to the northward they are used by both
Pennsylvania and Central railroads..
AS dangerous as the crossings are in South
Amboy the crossings here are even worse, as
traffic is much heavier. The Pennsylvania rail
road controls a right of way parallel with the
Central line through this city and it is possible
that the two companies will get together with
in a short time and remove the grade cross
mgs here to conform with the improvements
In South Amboy.
When this is done Perth Amboy should in

WE WANT LIGHT!

Perth Amboy demands sufficient light at the
Central railroad station at night and along the
pathway leading to the station. These lights
must be kept burning continuously all the
evening. This is a small thing for a city of
this size to ask. We are ashamed to ask it,
thus letting our sister cities know that we are
so far behind the times and allow the railroad
to thus ignore us. But to remain silent longer
is only playing into the hands of this parsi.
monious corporation that now turns the lights
at the station off after the departure Of every
train to turn them on again only when the
next train approaches. PERTH AMBOY IN

THE FARMERS WERE BIG FAC
TORS.

A writer to an East Felicia1a pa
per signing himself Sixth Ware
Farmer" says that not alone did thu
big dailieS CT the metropolis, thu
Tmes-Democrat and the Item, &C
complish the great victory, but thu
plain farmers were very impOrtan
factors in the sending up to the city
of a vote that threw that Of thu
boss-ridden into insignificance. "Sixtl
Ward Farmer" is quite correct ir
this conclusion. There can be M
doubt that if upon any one class O.
men the glory of this achievement
should necessarily fall, it would be
upon the farmers, for while few Of
them sought a mouthpiece, or organ
Of any kind, evidently did their own
quiet thinking, drawing natural de-
auctions after the facts were put be-
fore them by the insurgent press,
added to what they saw with their
own eyes. They said little but they
kept up a d of a thinking, and
the result of that thinking came out
on Jan. 23rd, 1912.
1t was this very Quietude that de-
ceiyed the machine candidates. Be,
cause the latter were treated civilly
in their visitations, and were not
bouqueted with ancient eggs, they in
ferred that all was as serene as it
seemed.
"And now Sixth Ward Farmer" is
further suggesting that his brother
farmers go after the Hon. Thos. H.
Harris. And there can be little
question that If the soil of public
opinion among the farmers is as fer
tile as in the recent campaign, some
thing Will sprout as quickly as Jo-
nah's gourd but which will not with
er in a single day. He says:
"Toombs, of Georgia, once said, if
man attempts to mix schools and
politics, shoot him down. Now, I
don't want to shoot T. H. Harris,
buS l want to see such a storm of
Indignation raised that he will be
kicked out of his eleven thousand dol
lar job, and if he doesn't step down
and out, run. an independent candf-
date and beat him five to one.
Get after Harris with a red hot
poker. Call an indignation meeting
and let's prove to him that he can
not defy the people"
