AV|ATORS Of ARMY
PLAN AERIAL TRIPS
FOR CONGRESSMAN
Hope to Convince Lawmak-
ers of Need for More
Appropriations.

A novel plan, whereby it is hoped to
infuse into members of the Senate and
House of Representatives an enthusias-
tic interest in aerial navigation, is be-
ing discussed by the army and navy
aviators.
Should the present session of Congress
extend through the summer, members
of the House and Senate will be invited
out to College Park, Md, and over to
Annapolis to take rides with the avia-
tors. The aeronautical experts believe
there is nothing so convincing as per-
sonal experience, and the thrill of a
trip in a heavier-than-air machine is
one long to be remembered.
Congressman Ben johnson, the first
Congressman to take a flight in the
army biplanes, was convinced in ten
minutes that the work the army and
navy aviators have to do deserves tbs
utmost consideration of the national
legislators.

twenty million dollars a year for aero

Date Is Set for
Capital Horse Show

From May to May 4, Washington
will be the center of interest for lovers
of horse flesh in this country, these
dates having been fixed upon definitely
as the days on which the show of the
National Capital Horse Show Associa-
, tion will be held.
Horses will be sent to Washington
from all parts of this country and the
executive committee hopes to get for
eign entries also.
To hold the horse show in April would
invite weather disaster, in the opinion
of the managers. To hold 1t late in
May would mean the absence of many
OF the fashionable set.
The selection of a professional man.
ager will be made within a few days
The grounds and buildings committee

and plans for the show are considered
to be In good shape, although the show

CO[ORED MEN VETO

LILY WHITE BASIS
Virginia Delegation Protests
to Taft at Exclusion by
Republicans.

The Taft political managers are ha,t-
ing trouble with colored voters in the
Southern States, who insist they are
being frozen OUT in the party con-
ventions and councils, and that they
may be forced to leave the Taft reser-
walton in order to get their rights.
A delegation of colored politicians
from Norfolk, Va, today called at the
white House and protested to the
President against the action of the Vir-
ginia Republican organization in ex-
cluding them from participation in the
Federal office-holding of the State.
These colored men said they furnish
the votes for the Republican party In
the State but do not share in the bene-
fits of a Republican Administration.
This does not suit them and they pro-
pose to do something about 1t. The
President told them to see Congressman
| Mckinley, who has charge of the Taft
| campaign headquarters.
Statement of Grievances.

gave out the following statement:

Threat in Attitude.
There was a threat in the attitude o
the colored visitors today to the effec
that If the Taft people did nothing t
give them a fair showing in Republican
counsels, they would go over to tn
Roosevelt side. They said they hat
nothing against the President, but the,

AFTER THE FREEHOLDERS.

It is fitting that the Affiliated Boards Of
Trade Of Middlesex County should take action
regarding the condition of the roads in the
county. 1t is also not surprising that one Of
the local delegates attending the session held
in this city Friday night called attention to
the condition of the Woodbridge creek bridge
and put the matter clearly up to the Board Of
Freeholders. There is no doubt that there is
room for a great deal of improvement IN on the
part of the county officials and it is time that
the people who pay the taxes should insist
upon receiving at least some of the benefits to
be derived from the expenditure of the money.
President Charles A. Mccormick, of New
Brunswick, spoke the truth when he said that
at the present time certain sections of the
county are getting "the worst end Of the
stick" There is no doubt ahQsgtdais. A trip
guests Of MRS: spraz]<mty tax this year
Lsaanfs to on<gso,076; Cranbury, $6,2o7;
South Brunswick, $8,061, shows where the
county money is being spent. The roads and
ridges in. that section are the best to be
found. The farmers Town there surely have
nothing to complain of.
On the other hand Perth Amboy, with
$1O2, $50 in county taxes, gets nothing. Wood
bridge, with $27, 640, and Roosevelt with
$2O,779, are forced to take what they can get,
and this is very small indeed. The Wood
bridge creek bridge is the main link between
three Of the four greatest sources of income
that the county has, yet the structure span
ming this stream has been out Of order for
nearly a year and there is small prospect of
anything being done for som time.
The freeholders have dallied with the mat
ter, offering one excuse or the other for not
having it repaired, and the county funds have
been expended elsewhere. Now that the
county boards of trade have taken the matter
up in earnest, it is possible something may be
accomplished. Small thanks, however, will
be due the freeholders for bringing about the
desired Improvement.

COLD STORAGE.

One OF the most important matters that
should come before the legislature at it's next
session is that of cold storage. There is no
doubt that this plays an important part in the
high cost of living.
A dispatch from New York, published in
our columns Saturday, stated that with fresh
eggs reaching fifty cents a dozen and butter
so high that several hotel men are beginning
to charge for it, the New York health depart
ment admitted that there are in cold storage
warehouses in that state, four million pounds
of butter and 10000 cases of eggs in excess of
the supply of last year. When it is remem-
bered how the prices went up last year be-
cause of the scarcity of these products, we
can realize just what cold storage means to
the average householder.
But there is another feature connected with
the cold storage other than the matter of
price. We refer to the effect the freezing has
on the articles of food that are thus preserved.
1t has only been within the last few years that
we have had placed on the market fruits that
are practically tasteless, ruined by the process
Of cold storage. 1t is little short Of an outrage
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-10-07

to see the best peaches, pears and apples be-
ing carted by the wagonload to the cold
storage houses while the people everywhere
are crying for a chance to buy in season at
reasonable prices.
While the cold storage houses may serve a
great purpose and make it possible to enjoy
certain delicacies out of season, they also prac-
tically ruin the chance of enjoying fruit when
it is at its best because the choicest of it is
stored away for future use. There is no doubt
about the demand for improvement in the mat
ter Of cold storage, and the people look to the
next Legislature to furnish a remedy.
