BOARD OF TRADE BOOSTERS.

1t is to be hoped hat the agitation that was
started short time ago for putting the Board
of Trade on a firm foundation will not be
allowed to die out Perth Amboy needs an
energetic body of this kind now more than
ever before. We are just awakening to the
realization of our real prosperity. With the
appointment of harbor commission at the
beginning of the year, and the development
of our waterfront, it is necessary that the
business men of the city be organized to rem
der the aid that is SO necessary in pushing
projects of this kind.
Mayor Garretson spoke, a short time ago,
of calling public meeting in the city hall to
consider the matter. Thus far no such steps
have been taken 1t may be that the rush
of the holiday season has caused suspension
of these activities until the business men have
more leisure. If no action is to be taken now
there should be concerted movement i'm
mediately after the first of the year so that
Perth Amboy may derive the benefit.

THE COAL DECISION.

While the government won several points
in its fight against the coal trust the charge
Of a general monopoly in the mining and
shipping of coal has failed The United States
supreme court declared that the evidence did
not prove such a condition to exist.
Regardless Of what the evidence was in this
matter the people know from experience that
there is some kind of an agreement whereby
prices are fixed for every locality Whether
it is trust or merely gentleman s agree
ment," makes little difference in the effect
on the public.
The decision Of the supreme court should
spur on those who are fighting the matter to
greater endeavor 1t is an outrage that the
people should be paying $675 to 81 ton
for coal at this time. The recent investiga-
ton in Philadelphia, which is bound to go
further, showed that such prices are not
justified The fact that they are maintained,
however, proves that there is something which
has not vet been reached in the investigation
thus far The fight should be carried on with
increased energy until the combination is
broken up and the price of coal is made more
reasonable.

GOOD ADVICE, BUT LATE.

The following from the Trenton State Gaz-
cite, the leading Republican machine news
paper of the state, is interesting:
"The men who are anxious for a re-organi-
zation Of the Republican party should first
discover the reasons for it's disorganization
If the breaking up of the party is due to
tiredness on the part of the people Of the
leadership of men who have been in the saddle
a long time, then the best thing to do is to
find new leaders who are satisfactory to the
people. The time has come in the history of
this country when the people are holding the
reins and would-be leader cannot force him
self upon them with any degree Of lasting
success. Therefore, say we find out what the
people want, then give it to them. They may
be sorry that they got it, but nowadays they
the quick to correct mistakes"
The Gazette is right in saying that "frst
find out what the people want, then give it
to them If the Republican leaders had
realized this last spring and at the Chicago
convention, when the presidential candidate
was nominated, the party wreck would prob
ably never have occurred. 1t was very plain
that in every state in the union where there
is any Republican party to speak of, the
people showed that they wanted Theodore
Roosevelt as their candidate for President.
The party leaders, however, refused to give
the people what they wanted and they now
see the result. The Gazette's advice might
well be needed by the Republican leaders in
Murphy, Griggs, Briggs and others will pay
no attention to it.

in the right way. Unless Perth Amboy and
other places along the Staten Island sound
arouse themselves, they will find that ship
ping will be diverted to Long Island. Once
the tide turns in that direction it will be a
hard matter to swing it back.
1t behooves the people of this vicinity to
get busy and counteract the work being done
in Jamaica bay. The Jersey waterfront along
Staten Island sound has the advantage over
Long Island on account of the railroad con-
nections being on the main line. But with
system Of freight tunnels that are being
planned for Long Island, this advantage will
be removed and unless we make our plans
to get the commerce and hold it before these
tunnels are completed we will suffer set
back that will be hard to overcome.

COAL FAMINE AND PRICES.

1t is now announced that all danger Of 8
coal famine has passed The continuation OF
the mild weather has permitted the coal com
panies to catch up and operators now assert
that the supply is ample. AS matter Of fact
the great majority Of people have never had
much fear Of coal famine They are, how
ever, greatly exercised over the price being
charged.
The coal operators seem to think that they
are doing a great service to the people in as
suring them that there is plenty of coal, but
nothing is ever mentioned as to the price. Ii
the coal supply is as ample as evr, why is the
price maintained at the present figure? Why
must we continue to pay $6.75 to 81 a ton
for coal when there is plenty of it, as the
operators admit9
Last year the price was $6 and $3.50 q
ton Even this figure is far too high. II
can be shown that $3.50 for regulated sizes
of coal is ample for all hands, including the
retailers, to make a profit Why must we
continue to pay more?

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 small thing for 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

JAMAICA BAY IMPROVEMENTS.

With great deal of ceremony, work was
started last Saturday by the city of New
York in the project to widen and deepen the
channel in Jamaica bay. 1t is the intention to
make this a terminal for coast-wise and freight
vessels. The work in contemplation will take
eight or ten years to complete and will cost
$82OOO,O00 The city, ITSELF has pledged $40,
100000 and the federal government $4,000,
O0O The city has already appropriated $1OOO,-
900 to start its part of the work. The govern
ment dredges have been at work for some time
on the outer channel, getting ready for the
Improvement.
This Jamaica bay project is matter that
directly concerns the welfare Of Perth Am
boy and the entire Staten Island sound sec
ton. The great overflow of commerce from
New York proper, must go somewhere and the
people of the Jamaica bay section are far
sighted enough to make plans to receive it.
Judging from the amount Of money at their
disposal they intend to go about the matter
