fair Assessment-Low Rate.

Let the state press continue to agi-
tate the errors of our tax assessment
laws until the legislature corrects
them. We would rather have So
100000 assessment and a levy of eight
mills than a 100000 assessment and
levy of sixteen mills. 1t would be a
much better advertisement for the
county. and wonderful benefit to the
state.-Perry Banner.

put II the calamity bowler. He spoke Of the
individuality Of the people Of this state in spite
of their proximity to New York and Philadelphia
a when yop stop in Newark or Trenton, z
said he, and encounter the hospitality that you
do, and find the State spirit that you do, and the
institutions that yon preserve, and the pride that
you have in the families that go to make up New
Jerseys great men, you understand that New
Jersey stands by herself, and as I say, makes q
model for other states"
Too often New Jersey is looked upon by the
people living in other parts of the country as q
mere strip Of sand lying between the great cities
of New York and Philadelphia. The trouble is
the state is usually passed through in a hurry on
some of the fast trains the destination of which is
a terminal in New York. When on pauses even
for only "a few hours here, the true spirit of the
Jerseyman is encountered and the state is
brought forth in its true light.

BOARD OF TRADE BANoUETs.

The New Brunswick Board of Trade has Just
had a very successful banquet at which enthusl-
asm was renewed and the efforts to boost New
Brunswick took ON a fresh impetus. Noted speak
ers were brought to the county seat from various
parts of the state and the city as a whole re-
ceived great benefit from the event IN itself, re-
CARELESS of what the future may have In store.
1t is to be regretted that Perth Amboy cannot
do something along this line without so many
hammers being brought out to ridicule and be-
little it. Whenever the old Chamber OF Com
merce is mentioned today it is invariably stated
that the only thing it accomplished was to held
a banquet> in the winter and a e1ambake In the
summer. In order that such a thing might not
be said of the present Board Of Trade no banquet
or social function of any kind has been held by
that body since it was organized several years
ago. In spite of this, however, q resident of
this city who should be doing what he could to
boost Perth Amboy, stated in public a short time
ago that all the present Board Of Trade of this
city did was to hold a banquet.
1t is such a spirit as this that is keeping Perth
Amboy back when there is every reason why we.
should be progressing faster than ever. There
is no doubt that much good can be accomplished
by a banquet, such as New Brunswick has just
held, not only to arouse the interest Of the local
people in city affairs, but TO bring prominent men
to the city in order that they might see what
we have here and that we might become better
acquainted. 1t is apparent, however, that any
attempt to have an event of this kind in this city
while the present feeling exists, would start the
old cry of banquet and clambake, and might tend
to do more harm than good.
In the meantime the Board Of Trade is stick

LIMITING FEMALE WORKING HOURS.

Considerable opposition has arisen to the Edge
h;lll,s limiting the hours OF labor for women to
ten hours a day. AS was expected, this opposi-
ton comes largely from the manufacturers who
employ female help and who desire to get as much
labor out of these women and children as they
can. The legislature has been active in passing
laws for the benefit of men and boys, but thus
far the women have been ignored.
1t is criminal to compel women to stand in a
shop or behind q counter for longer than ten
hours continuously State after state throughout
the union has passed laws protecting the women
in this regard, and q great many foreign coun-
tries are far in advance of as.
We realize that there will be continued opposi-
ton to such O bill as Senator Edge has introduced
Just as there was to child labor laws several years
ago. But the cause of humanity has advanced
so far thatawe do not believe this matter can be
ignored much longer. It win be q disgrace upon
the present legislature should it permit this bill
to be defeated. 1t viii mean that the Legislators
care more for the few paltry dollars that a Inn
tied number Of manufacturers can secure through
the oppressioa Of their women employees, than
they do for the protection Of those who are forced
to work for their living.
The Edge bill as a measure that should be
passed. From the hearing held Tuesday the argu-
ments in favor of it far offset all the opposition
that has been brought against it.

v%1NpIcATIoN OF GoMpERs.

1t is with a great deal of qualification that we
note that the judicial department at Washington
has announced that Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor, has been
indicated by the federal grand jury, which has
been investigating the dynamite cases at Indian
apolis. This investigation was taken up immedi-
ately after the, conviction of the Mcnamara
brothers at Los Angeles. It was then shown that
the conspiracy was nationwide and there was
reason to believe that men higher up than the
McNamaras were involved in the d~astardly deeds
that have been committed during the past few
years throughout the country. There were those
who even went so far as to condemn the whole
body of organized labor because a few of their
number had gone wrong. Fair-minded people,
however, were willing to await the outcome of
the investigation, feeling sure that the result
would show that all the labor leaders were not
as bad as many would have the public believe.
Mr.. Gompers, at the time, invited q thorough
investigation Of his connections with any such
actions as the Mcnamara brothers were found
guilty of, and the outcome of the investigation
has sustained his position. There is no doubt that
Mr.. Gompers and the men associated with him
IN conducting the American Federation of Labor
made a serious mistake in rushing to the defense
Of the McNamaras and making their cause the
cause of labor without first aseertaining whether
or not the strength Of the evidence was against
the men.
Such characters as the Mcnamara brothers are
to be found in nearly every organization OF any
size. Their presence cannot always be guarded
against. Their fellow members, however, who
believe in law and order, should welcome any at
tempt to ferret them out so that the organization
may be rid of them as soon as possible. before
the whole body is wrecked. Indication seems to
be very strong against the Structural 1ronwork-
.Ts~ tf1mon and q great many arrests have al
ready been made in that organization. The pub
lie will refrain from passing Judgment on these
men, however, until the courts have heard fhe
and judgment has been passed by those
to do SO.

rAFT's PRAISE OF NEW JERSEY.

President Taft made q very favorable impress
sion during his recent visit in New Jersey. His
complimentary speech made at the luncheon
given in his honor by former Governor Murphy,
ought TO please everyone here, who takes a pride
In his state. Whether or not Mr.. Taft's visit
was intended for political purposes, the fact re-
mains that his kind words viii go q great way
toward winning the hearts of Jerseymen.
We have always been proud of Jersey justice
and for it to be prominently recognized by the
Chief Executive of the nation is a matter of graft
fcation. President Taft held New Jersey up as
am example to the country for the manner in
which the administration Of justice is conducted
here.
HThere is no state where criminals are brought
to justice with more certainty and more expedi.
ton, and with more care in their conviction, than
in the State of New Jersey : said the President.

He Is a numerous and ubiquitous In
stitution and can be found In the
most surprising walks of life. The
first one / discovered was running

He is the only surviving body
servant Of George Washington. 1t
is unnecessary to prove It to him,
for he is perfectly willing to admit
it. There are believed to be but
e~ighty-five or one hundred other
only surviving body servants Of
George Washington in this city, but
they are said to be scattered about
through other portions OF the South
quite discriminatory. / have met
twenty or twenty-five only surviv-
Ing body servans, and I have been
here only a short time, and will
probably meet the rest of them be-
fore I leave. George Washington
must have been surrounded by a
standing army Of body servants.
Az / have stated. the first per-
sona1 body servant of George Wash

vator In our hotel. He told us about
1t while we were going from the first
floor to the second. Personal body
