FOR A STATE CONSTABULARY.

Bergen county is now experiencing some Of
the labor difficulties that Middlesex had last
summer The sheriff's deputies are on guard
at the Erie railroad yards, protecting property
from the strikers who have shot down several
of the guards, killing some and wounding
others. There is the usual talk of calling out
the National Guard and Adjutant General
Sadler is ready at a moments notice to send
troops to the scene.
The Newark Star, in discussing the situa-
ton, points out that the policy of, the state
should be to disassociate the National Guard
intended for an entirely different purpose than
to go out and guard property during labor dis
putes. That there is a necessity for some
armed uniform force is evident, owing to the
large foreign population in this state who are
accustomed to recognize only such authority
as soldiers bring.
The problem was solved in Pennsylvania by
a state constabulary. These are policemen on
horseback in the employ Of the state stationed
in various districts and ready to be sent to any
section where trouble may occur. These men
are a strong-arm guard and are uniformed in
a manner to impress the foreigner, who has
been brought up to see troops on every side.
1t has been frequently recommended that
New Jersey follow the example of Pennsyl-
vania in regard to the state police and at every
strike, such as is now taking place in Bergen
county, this recommendation is revived. 1t
would be a popular move for some of the legis-
lators who will assemble in Trenton in Janu-
airy, to take up this matter seriously and see
what can be done toward providing New Jer-
sey with a state constabulary whether they
are then needed at the time or not. Then the
troopers will be ready when duty calls.

FOR HOME RULE.

The argument for and against the c~onstitu-
tional convention seems to center on whether
or not the attempt to amend the constitution is
made for the sole purpose of changing the
representation Of the various counties in the
senate. At the present time this representa-
ton is modelled after the United States Senate
where every state, regardless of size and popu-
%lation, meets on equal footing. In New Jersey
the counties are represented by one senator
each, regardless of how many people the re-
spective counties have.
For a long time the counties in the northern
part Of the state have been clamoring for a
REIMBURSEMENT along the lines of choosing sena-
tors, claiming that the great majority of the
people living in that section are hindered in
their progress by the more rural counties Of
the southern end. Measures desired by the
cities of the north, which have passed the as
sembly, where the representation is according
to population, have been killed in the senate,
where the rural counties are in control. There
is no doubt about the necessity of amending
the constitution so as to bring many of it's
features up to date and to provide for modern
conditions. 1t is very doubtful, however, if
these amendments can be made if the northern
counties are to insist upon changing the repre-
sentation in the senate.
In discussing the matter, which seems to be
agitating the state from one end to the other,
the Newark Evening News suggests an admir-
able solution which we believe should satisfy
all sections. The reason that there is such a
demand for a reorganization of the senate is
because the requirements Of the cities are so
vastly different from those of the country sec
tons, yet, according to the constitution, all
legislation must be general so as to apply to all
sections alike. 1t is self-evident that what is
desirable in the cities is not desirable in the
rural sections. This applies, particularly, to
the more liberal laws pertaining to excise af-
fairs, Sunday observance, etc. The result is
that the country districts, by having a ma
Jor1ty IN the senate, prevent the great ma
Jority of the people who live in the cities from
getting what they want,
The suggestion of the Newark News is that
representation in the senae remain the same
as at present, with one senator from each
county, but that the constitution be amended
so that every municipality will have as near alb
soluie home rule as possible, giving the people

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

LOCAL THEATRICAL TALENT.

TENDERS of the Y. M. H. A. have distin-
guished themselves for the manner in which
they have produced the play, ''Paid in Full"
in this city. For amateur theatricals it is
doubtful if Perth Amboy has seen anything to
surpass this production.
1t was a great surprise to the large number
of citizens who attended to know that there
was such ability along dramatic lines here. 1t
will please a large number to know that those
in charge of the production will be able to
repeat the play so that many who failed to see
the first production will have the opportunity
of realizing for themselves exactly what our
local people can do along this line.

 Frankfort: Whats the matter?"

 Last Message at 80
 The last message that the Titanic an swered from the Olympic was about 80 o'clock in the morning. Other ships tried to raise the Titanic but without effect. Moore said he sent no messages from Mount Temple because he did not want to interfere with wireless communication between the Titanic and other vessels. He steamed ahead, he said, making ready for possible rescues
 The Titanic continued to call out sig nals to the last said Captain Moore. "ft raised the Olympic" he said, and re- peated Get your boats ready The Frankfurt replied: Starting for you.' Six minutes later the Titanic flashed back, Boilers flooded' A message from D. F. F. then followed, saving Are there any boats around you already There was no answer.

 Captain Moore read further from the report of wireless Operator Bnrrant of the Mount Temple. Among the messages picked np by Burrant and collected by Captain Moore were:
