home is in this city and all of her
living relatives reside in this vicinity.
Much of her life has been spent in
travelling about the country, with long
period of residence In New York,
Washington and other cities. Last
March she passed through dangerous
illness and since then she has lived
on her farm near here, devoting much
of her time to writing.
DR.. Walker was born In Oswego,
Nov. 26, 1882. her parents being de-
scendants of colonial settlers. Her
parents erected on their farm near

Columbus, Ohio, but later located in
Rome, N. Y.
Among other distinctions, DR.. Walk
er has that of being the first woman
physician In the world to hold a COM
mission as assistant army surgeon.
Upon the outbreak of the civil war
she entered the Union service in her
professional capacity. For bravery
and valuable services in the field she
was awarded a medal of honor, which
she always wore conspicuously. Dur

ment was purely a one-man affair, centering
entirely about Theodore Roosevelt. The for
mer governor thinks that Mr.. Roosevelt
reached his zenith November 5 and there is
nothing left for those who voted for him but
to return to their former allegiance.
AS long a such men as former Governor
Griggs continue to pose as the leaders of the
Republican party and make such statements as
these, just so long will that party remain out
of power and eventually it will pass out of ex-
~istence. Job Hedges, the unsuccessful candi-
date for governor of New York state last fall,
understands the situation better. Even the
New York Tribune, commenting on Mr..
Hedges remarks, makes an honest confession
regarding the condition of the Republican
party. Mr.. Hedges declared that a large part
of the Progressive vote came from Republicans
who were dissatisfied with local party ma
chimes. Sizing up the situation Mr.. Hedges
said: owe may not look well, but now we
know more"
The Tribune, in taking up Mr.. Hedges re-
marks, asks, significantly: "Do party man
ayers, IN general, know more?" There are
those who admit that the voters gave a Sc
we're rebuke to the party leaders at the last
election, but there is evidence that many of
these leaders do not yet know it.
In our own state we have such men as
Griggs, Murphy, Briggs, Wakelee and others,
who are still posing as the "whole thing" in
the Republican ranks. They do not seem to
realize that the people upon whom they have
to depend for votes will never follow them.
There is no doubt about them being the
"whole thing" for the Republican party now
consists of but little else than a handful of
discredited bosses. AS long as they continue
their agitation and make their futile attempts
to repair the damage done their party at the
last election, so long will the Progressive cause
prosper as an independent organization.

GIVE US MORE LIGHT.

While we are waiting for that new railroad
station that the Central railroad must build
for Perth Amboy before long, we can, at least,
insist upon having decent accommodations
at the present station. There is no excuse
for a railroad, paying the dividends that the
Central railroad is paying, to be so parsi-
monious in it's accommodations to it's travel
ers as to shut off the electric lights along a
station platform after the departure Of each
train, to be turned on again only as the next
train approaches. But even when turned on
these lights are so hidden beneath large tin
hoods that they are practically useless except
in a little spot where the light shines.
Persons stepping out of a brilliantly light
ed train stumble about in the darkness and
have a great deal of trouble getting their
bearings until they become accustomed to the
outrageous conditions outside. AS soon as the
train moves on, out go what few lights there
are and it becomes impossible for anyone to
move along the platform except Immediately
in front of the waiting rooms, where a little
light does shine continuously.
1t is dangerous for any girl or young
woman to stroll along the platform for any
distance, not knowing what dangers may be
lurking in the darkness. Many insignificant
towns have better lighted stations than Perth
Amboy with $4,000 population.
On the night preceding Thanksgiving day
there were fully 800 people waiting at the
Central station about 6 o'clock. It would nave
been impossible to have accommodated them
i'll smelling, poorly ventilated room thick with
tobacco smoke, in order to reach the ticket
window notwithstanding. People were hud-
died together sn the little space on the plat
form, blocking the waiting room doors, be-
cause of the extreme darkness elsewhere at
the station.
There should be adequate light along the
path leading from Smith street to the station
This is the long dark walk belonging to the
railroad which the public is invited to use
in fact which the public has got to use il
order to reach the depot. The railroad com
pany should be compelled to light this patti
in a suitable manner.
If we cannot have a new station and Other
improvements, if we cannot have room enough
to accommodate the travelling public inside
the waiting rooms we can, at least, insist upo1
having adequate light on the station platform
maintained the entire evening for the accom-
mediation of the public. Let us see if Peril
Amboy cannot, at least, secure this conces
sion from the railroad people. 1t is not
favor that we ask, it is only a demand TO
what is due us. If the railroad refuses, per
haps the Public Utility Commission will Sc
that we are accommodated as far as light |
concerned.

THE WATER DEPARTMENT.

Ii there is 100000 owing the water depart
ment from the delinquent consumers it is time
the department knew it and took steps to col
lect the amount. Such a water system as we
have cannot be run without funds. At the
same time it is human nature for people to
get all they can for nothing. If they find they
can Ignore the water bills and still use water,
more and more people are going to forget all
about the bills and let the other fellows paw.
There seems to be something lax in the water
department when such a condition as this is
permitted.
In private corporations where gas or cleo
trlclty is supplied, or in the telephone service,
II bills are not promptly paid the delinquent
promptly disconnected. There is no rea-
son why the water department owned by a
municipality, should not be run on Just as
thorough business principles as a private cor
p%oration. By adopting such methods as pri-
waite companies use, no doubt the efficiency Of
the water department would be greatly in
creased and it's income enlarged, which might
mean a reduction in the water rate for the
people.
Another feature in the water department
which needs attention is the freedom with
which the employees go about the city tearing
up streets without any notice or permit, very
often leaving the excavations without warn
ing at night. When they repair the street it
is frequently left in a most deplorable condi-
ton. We cannot expect to have good streets
if they are to be torn up in this manner,
whether by a municipal board or by private
corporations.
We would not permit a gas company, tele-
phone company or any other private concern
owning pipe lines or conduits under our
streets, to tear up pavements in this manner,
and there is no reason why the water depart
ment, simpy because it is a part of the city,
should have this liberty. AS a matter of fact.
city employees, no matter with what depart
ment they are connected, should have more
than ordinary pride in the appearance of the
city and should be- only too glad to work with
all other departments for the Improvement of
every section.
a little more of the get-together spirit fo1
the interest of Perth Amboy between the va.
nous departments of the city is greatly to be
desired, particularly regarding the care of
streets.
